Mansion on the outskirts of Jinling.
Vera, who was sitting at the dining table, watched the holographic TV floating on the wall while carefully eating the fried eggs on the table.
Although she had been in this era for almost a week, she still had not fully adapted to the technology of this era.
Especially the TV that could pass her arm through the middle. She, who was from 2022, really couldn't figure out how it was done.
However, the focus of her attention today was not on the holographic TV itself, but on the TV program.
A white-bearded professor was sitting in the studio, facing the host's interview, and spoke with fervor and assurance.
"… If you ask me, I can tell you that you have found the right person. In the field of Z particle research, no one is better than me except Academician Lu himself! "
The host looked at the old professor with a polite smile on his face and spoke sincerely.
"Okay, Professor Belur, we all know that you are an expert in the field of theoretical physics … What do you think of the reward for this proposition?"
"The Z particle wave equation has always been a relatively cutting-edge research direction in theoretical physics, and the difficulty of this research direction is obvious to all. However, this is only about the difficulty, not the importance of the proposition itself. "
Host: "Can you elaborate?"
"There is nothing to elaborate on. It is literal meaning. Whether our understanding of space extends to n-dimension or n + 1 dimension, we are all beings living in three-dimensional space. Even if the universe is a folded and twisted surface in a higher dimension, for us living in this situation, the gap between the two sides is still insurmountable.
"In short, even if you know that you are at the bottom of a different well, when the height of this well is insurmountable, simply knowing it cannot change the status quo. Over the past century, we have made some progress on the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle, but the physics community has not treated it as an important proposition that can be solved at the moment. "
Host: "So in your opinion, Academician Lu has overestimated the importance of this equation?"
Professor Belur gently relaxed his shoulders and said, "You can think so … At least I think so."
Host: "What about warp travel? What about faster than light technology? "
Belur: "Forget about it. Although almost two centuries have passed … Einstein may be right again."
The show was still going on, but Vera had already finished her breakfast.
She placed the cutlery on the plate and fell into deep thought while watching the TV.
Is warp travel just a beautiful fantasy?
Vera didn't particularly agree with Professor Belur's words. However, this judgment did not come from her own understanding of physics, but purely from her unconditional trust in another scholar.
But …
But he wasn't right every time.
If warp travel was really just a beautiful fantasy, there would never be a shortcut in the folded universe …
She did not know why, but she suddenly had a thought that surprised even herself.
If that was the case, how great would that be …
At this time, Xiao Ai, who was wearing an apron, walked over while humming a melodious tune.
Seeing that Xiao Ai was going to help her clean up, Vera quickly stood up with her plate and spoke politely.
"I'll clean up the plate. Thank you very much for letting me live here. If you still take care of me like this, I'm really sorry —"
Before Vera finished speaking, the plate in her hand was snatched away by Xiao Ai at lightning speed.
Under her stunned gaze, Xiao Ai nimbly jumped to the side, turned his head, and gave her a smug look.
"Give up now, the plot to take master away from Xiao Ai will not succeed! (A * `A` *) * * "
Vera: "…?"
It …
It's really just an AI, right?
…
These days, the heated discussion about the Z particle gravitational wave equation had become more and more intense.
The academic debate had developed from the initial proposition itself to whether warp travel and faster than light communication were possible, and whether this proposition was critical enough.
After all, the Z particle gravitational wave equation had been used in the physics community for an entire century. For a century, people had not found the so-called simpler and more accurate expression. They only guessed that it might exist.
Now, countless big names in the theoretical physics community had refocused their attention on this gradually marginalized cutting-edge topic, but they still hadn't made any particularly useful results.
No matter how patient a scholar was, it was inevitable that they would feel impetuous.
After all, just because of a guess, so many scientific research resources were involved. Even Academician Lu couldn't justify it …
However, compared to the impetuosity of the outside world, Lu Zhou himself was full of confidence in this research.
With the help of his apprentice, the progress of the research project was very smooth. It could even be described as lightning speed.
Even though Lu Zhou didn't have to work hard to achieve academic results, he could clearly feel how helpful it was for him to have an assistant who was in tune with him.
However, when he told the two of them to focus on academic matters, some rumors still spread.
After returning home from Jin Ling University, Lu Zhou looked at Vera, who took his coat from Xiao Ai. After thinking for a while, he finally spoke.
"I'll help you find a place to live as soon as possible."
The hand holding the coat paused slightly, and Vera whispered.
"Do you dislike me?"
"Of course not." Seeing that Vera obviously misunderstood his kindness, Lu Zhou sighed and continued, "The problem of work … I have solved it for you. From now on, you are a mathematics professor at Jin Ling University."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome … When I came back, Dean Qin from the mathematics department casually asked me if you were living in my house."
Vera's cheeks were slightly hot.
Although this was the truth, it was still a little embarrassing for outsiders to know.
"And then …"
"Then the old man tried to persuade me to be careful." Lu Zhou made a helpless expression and said, "He said that the entire mathematics department seems to be gossiping about you …"
"Let those rumors go." Vera looked at Lu Zhou intently and said, "Anyway, you're the only person I know in this world. I only care about what you think of me. Ah … Of course, if you think it will cause you trouble … "
"What trouble would I have?" Lu Zhou sighed and continued, "Forget it … I'm just worried that if you go to Jin Ling University to teach, these rumors may cause you trouble. If you don't care, then do as you please. "
Of course, even without those rumors, Lu Zhou wouldn't let her live here all the time.
Not only because the gender difference might cause inconvenience in life, but more importantly, if she didn't go out and start living independently, she would never be able to truly integrate into this era.
The reason why Lu Zhou let her live here first was to help her find her own place in this era.
And if she lived here all the time, it would be contrary to his original intention.
However, when he met the eyes full of caution and hope, Lu Zhou didn't know what to say for a while.
Lu Zhou sighed as if he had given up. He scratched the hair on the back of his head and finally put this matter aside for the time being.
Moving would wait until his Z particle oscillation device was completed. Anyway, he didn't particularly care about what others said about him.
As for the rest, he could only take it one step at a time …
