The love letter was taken away by Lu Zhou.
Since that day, Xing Bian had never seen Lu Zhou come out of his house, nor had he had a chance to talk to him.
"I will go on a retreat for a while. Don't come to me during this time."
He remembered that he said so at the time.
After dropping this sentence, Academician Lu closed the door of the villa, and Xing Bian never opened it again.
A month passed like this. At first, Xing Bian thought that he had offended Lu Zhou. Until later, he discovered that not only could he not see Lu Zhou, but even his old friends could not find him …
Security Bureau office.
Looking at Xing Bian sitting behind the desk, Wang Peng finally couldn't help but ask.
"So what did you say to him that day?"
He heard that at the beginning of last month, Captain Xing, who had nothing better to do, went to Lu Zhou's home, and that was probably the last time Lu Zhou went out during this time.
Although there was no basis for this speculation, Wang Peng always felt that this guy must have done something unnecessary.
Facing Wang Peng's questioning, the expression on Xing Bian's face was a little awkward.
He coughed and said, "This is related to his privacy, you should ask him yourself."
"If I could, I would have asked him a long time ago," Wang Peng said. "I can't see him at all during this time. Not only did I ask him to come out for a drink, but he also didn't respond to my messages on the Internet."
Although Lu Zhou went on a retreat in the past, he would not completely cut off the Internet. At least he would still reply to some messages.
But this time, it was obviously different from the past.
At least according to Wang Peng's understanding of him, either something particularly urgent had happened, or there was some other reason other than academics. Otherwise, even if he went into closed-door training, he wouldn't be completely silent like now.
"You didn't even reply to the news on the Internet?" Xing Bian let go of the teacup in his hand. He sighed and muttered to himself, "I might have screwed this up … Damn it, I did this with good intentions."
"Tell me, what have you done?"
"Some of the messes left behind from your work. If you are interested, go to the archive and look through the information about the Bloodline Plan. Don't ask me, I don't want to deal with this anymore." Xing Bian pinched his eyebrows with a headache. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "I'll give you a mission."
Wang Peng raised his eyebrows.
"Is it related to Academician Lu?"
"Sort of." After a pause, Xing Bian continued, "His fiancée may still be alive."
The moment he heard this, Wang Peng had a surprised expression on his face.
"You mean Chen Yushan? But … it's been 100 years. How is this possible? "
"I don't think it's possible either. Would you lock yourself in a hibernation pod just because your girlfriend died? At least I wouldn't … "Xing Bian smiled bitterly and continued," But … It's really hard for me to understand what you old popsicles from a century ago are thinking. Maybe from the beginning, I shouldn't have let him know about the Bloodline Plan, let alone bring him to meet his descendants. "
In that case, he wouldn't have discovered the diamond ring box and wouldn't have gotten himself into a dead end.
Complete the faster than light engine and go to Heaven Star ten light-years away …
This is crazy!
"You want me to find her?"
"Yes." Xing Bian nodded. "In theory, there should be no long-distance galactic navigation technology in that era … Of course, there is no such technology now. Unless she freezes herself, uses time to exchange for space, and drifts in the universe for about 20,000 years, she might be able to fly there. But this is too slow. By that time, our spacecraft will be all over the Milky Way.
"So I speculate that there may be another situation. She freezes herself and waits until the time is ripe to board the ship. However, there is also another risk, that is, as time goes by, her existence will gradually be forgotten, so that in the end, not only can she not board the ship, but she won't even wake up. "
Wang Peng nodded.
"I understand … I will investigate her whereabouts while investigating The Spirit of The Universe Foundation."
"Well, just do it as a secondary task. After all, the former is our job." Xing Bian picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. He thought for a while and continued, "The frozen dormancy fund that Lu Xiaotong was responsible for before her death may be a clue, as well as the Tau Ceti Space Colonization Fund …
"If you have time, you can investigate them all."
…
At the same time, in a villa on the outskirts of Jinling, Vera was standing in Lu Zhou's study room with a nervous expression, quietly waiting for the man in front of her to reply.
About a month ago, after he came back from outside, he suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person.
Not only was he much more reticent than before, but his whereabouts had also become difficult to figure out.
Even though they lived under the same roof, she had only seen him a few times in the past month.
Apart from academic exchanges, they didn't even have much conversation in daily life.
Of course …
Even so, she was very satisfied.
After all, it was a miracle that they could meet again after a hundred years. She already had a miracle, so it would be too greedy of her to ask for anything else.
At least she thought so, and she was quite satisfied with the status quo.
It was a pleasure to be able to discuss academic issues with the professor.
The only flaw was that if she could see more smiles on his face, especially those that bloomed because of her, it would be even more beautiful …
Looking at the draft paper in his hand, Lu Zhou thought for a long time with an expressionless face. Finally, a smile appeared on his stiff expression.
"You did a good job."
The dawn of victory is in front of me.
After so long, he finally saw the hope of solving this proposition.
Seeing this smile, Vera, who was standing across the desk, finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. A trace of gentleness and relief also appeared on her face.
She had been worried about him for the past month, but she didn't know what happened.
Seeing that his mood had finally improved, she finally felt a little relieved.
"As long as we get the epsilon constant, the rest of the steps are very easy." Lu Zhou gently put down the draft paper. He picked up a pen from the side and scribbled a few strokes on another stack of paper on the desk. He then picked up the whole stack and handed it to Vera. "Bring the value of epsilon to the expression on page 11, line 13, and the entire equation can be directly transformed into the form of equation 3, thus deducing the establishment of inference 4."
After taking the stack of paper, Vera glanced at Lu Zhou's notes.
Soon after, a surprised expression appeared on her face.
"You've … done it all?"
Even the professor …
This speed is a bit too fast.
She had been researching this topic for a while, and she could see the various difficulties with the naked eye.
"Yeah, sort of. For now, the equation in front of you should be the most accurate and concise expression of the Z particle gravitational wave equation I can think of."
The atmosphere in the study room was very quiet.
Vera stared at the paper in her hand. Her lips opened and closed slightly. She seemed to be silently checking in her mind.
Without disturbing her thinking, Lu Zhou picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip.
The slightly bitter taste diluted some of the tiredness in his brain, and also made him more clear-headed.
In his memory, unsweetened black coffee was her favorite flavor.
Since when did I start to fall in love with this smell?
Lu Zhou unconsciously looked at the sky outside the window. He stared at the clouds for a long time, and he didn't look away for a long time …
