Before he could react, a gust of fragrant wind blew into his arms.
Lu Zhou was a little stunned by the sudden hug. His movements were a little stiff. He seemed to be hesitating about where to put his hands.
Fortunately, Vera, who suddenly fell into his arms, seemed to realize how embarrassing her behavior was, so she quickly separated from him with a red face.
Looking at Lu Zhou, who was surprised, Vera whispered.
"… I missed you so much, so I came to see you … Can't I?"
"Why not, but you came so far alone … Have you been on a space shuttle before?"
Looking at Lu Zhou's worried face, Vera shook her head gently.
"No … But Xiao Ai and I are worried about you."
Lu Zhou looked at Vera, who was worried about him. He said, "Why are you worried about me? I'm a grown man. I can't take care of others, but I can take care of myself."
"That's hard to say …" Vera whispered, "I heard from Xiao Ai that 100 years ago, you caused a lot of trouble."
Lu Zhou couldn't help but show a guilty expression on his face.
Xiao Ai, this guy …
Why are you talking about this?
Just when Angelina was about to record this touching moment, there was a soft cough next to her.
"Photos are not allowed here."
Angelina was startled by the sudden voice. She turned around and saw a strange man standing next to her. He seemed to be guarding against something.
"I don't mean any harm, I'm just a little surprised … Sorry, it's my fault for taking out the camera."
Looking at Angelina's sincere apology, Wang Peng nodded and didn't say anything.
Lu Zhou also noticed the movement here, so he looked over.
"Excuse me, you are …"
"I, I am …" Angelina was about to introduce herself, but because she was too excited to see her idol, her voice was incoherent.
Fortunately, Vera, who was standing next to Lu Zhou, helped her out. The kind-hearted girl smiled and said.
"She's Angelina, a reporter from Le Monde. We met on the road. Thanks to her help, I was able to get here safely. "
After listening to Vera's introduction, Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully, smiled at Ms. Angelina, and said in a friendly manner.
"Thank you for taking care of her along the way."
"No, no, actually I didn't help much." Angelina waved her hand with a blush and said with a slightly ashamed expression, "I really don't deserve your thanks."
"Haha, no need to be so polite." Looking at the embarrassed expression on her face, Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "It seems that you have a lot of things to ask me."
Angelina nodded her head honestly.
"Yes … I came to Mars this time mainly to interview you. It's just that I haven't figured out how to ask. "
"If only every reporter could be like you, a little less routine and a little more sincere." Lu Zhou looked at Vera, who was standing next to him, and said softly, "After two weeks of flying, you must be tired. Go and rest. I will ask Ling to take you to your room in a while, and you can leave your luggage to Ling. "
"Um …" Glancing at Lu Zhou with some apprehension, Vera whispered with a worried expression, "Did I cause you trouble?"
"Of course not," Lu Zhou reached out and rubbed her hair, then said with a smile, "I made you worry."
After sending away the blushing Vera, Lu Zhou then looked at Angelina, who pretended not to see anything. He thought for a while and continued.
"The timing is so coincidental, I was just about to go to the laboratory of East Asia Heavy Industries."
Hearing these words, Angelina hurriedly said.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, everything is based on your time, I can go anytime!"
"No way, everyone's time is equally precious." Lu Zhou shook his head and continued, "How about this, you come with us."
"Huh?" Angelina was slightly taken aback. "Is this … really okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." Lu Zhou said with a faint smile, "If I can learn my skills just by looking at them, I will be happy."
Lu Zhou saw Wang Peng, nodded, and spoke.
"Let's go."
Before coming to Tiangong City, Angelina had been struggling with how to interview Lu Zhou, but she didn't expect to get the opportunity to interview him in this way.
In order to show her sincerity, she took the initiative to turn off her camera and interview drone and handed them over to the man who looked like a bodyguard.
Wang Peng nodded at Angelina's initiative, but he didn't say much.
Soon, the three arrived at the industrial area in the maglev car.
In a rather large workshop, Angelina saw a huge metal ring.
The silver-white metal ring was covered with complex equipment. It was like a product of cyberpunk art, stacking complex aesthetics to the extreme.
After staring at it for a while, Angelina finally couldn't help but ask, "This is …"
"Stargate."
"Stargate." Lu Zhou stopped and looked up at the huge ring. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he continued, "The starting point of the hyperspace channel … Of course, it can also be the end."
Noticing that Wang Peng was looking at him, Lu Zhou smiled at him, indicating that he didn't have to be nervous. "It's okay, it won't be long before we start testing this set of equipment anyway. There will be a press conference after a while. It doesn't matter if it's made public now, and I have my own plans … So, Ms. Angelina, I know you probably have a lot of questions."
Seeing that Lu Zhou suddenly changed the topic to herself, Angelina was slightly taken aback. She then nodded quickly and spoke.
"I heard that many scholars have evaluated that once faster than light technology is integrated into our society, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to our society … It is no exaggeration to say that we will enter a new era because of this."
"You can say that." Lu Zhou nodded and agreed with her statement. "By maintaining a stable and open hyperspace channel, even without a warp drive, ordinary spacecraft can use the stargate to achieve hyperspace jump and cross astronomical distances in a very short time. And this is not just the exchange of materials, but also information. "
Angelina: "… Is this your hope for the future?"
"Sort of." Lu Zhou said with a smile, "But I can feel that this day is not far away.
"At that time, not just materials and information, all of us … From the distant Antarctica to the Kuiper Belt several astronomical units away, whether it is Earthlings or Martians, we will all be connected as one. As for us, the other living beings in the Milky Way Galaxy will use a unified name to call me. "
"That is, human civilization."
Angelina was shocked by the future described by Lu Zhou. She showed an expression of disbelief on her face.
After a while, she spoke as if she was dreaming.
"It sounds … like a science fiction work."
"Compared to yesterday, every second we experienced is science fiction, let alone today." Lu Zhou looked at her with a faint smile on his face and continued, "Compared to plain language, I hope you can convey this shock with something I can't understand."
After clearing his throat, he continued.
"Then, Ms. Angelina, I wonder if you are interested in participating in the 'first pass' ceremony of our stargate?"
