Looking at the figure standing in the holographic beam, Zhong Ziyu was slightly taken aback. He was a little confused.
He frowned slightly and looked at the young man.
"Who are you? How did you get in? "
"Who am I? Didn't Academician Lu already introduce me? " Lawrence seemed to have heard a very interesting question. He smiled faintly and continued in a relaxed tone, "I'm David Lawrence, as for how I got in … This is my ship, and I live here, so why do you ask?"
Hearing these words, Zhong Ziyu's eyes widened slightly. He took half a step back, and his right hand was already touching the alarm on the left-hand terminal.
Lawrence didn't pay attention to his actions, as if he didn't care at all. Lawrence didn't even look at him, he just stared at Lu Zhou.
"My old friend, you don't seem to be very happy?"
"I have no reason to be happy." Lu Zhou continued with a slight shrug, "I don't quite understand how you got on this path."
Lawrence: "Are you talking about digitizing yourself?"
Lu Zhou nodded and continued.
"It's not an easy thing to give up everything you have."
"Give up everything I have?" Lawrence smiled faintly and continued, "Maybe, but if that's the case, I might have to thank you."
"Thank me?"
"That's right." Lawrence nodded slightly and continued in a chatty tone, "It started more than 100 years ago. The only heir of the B City Consortium gave up his beloved career and began a mission that only he could fulfill. However, in his countless attempts, failure followed him like a shadow. No matter how hard he tried to seize the opportunities of the times and revitalize the glory of the Lawrence family and the B City Consortium, in the end, he was half a step too slow and became the laughing stock of Wall Street … You know what? All of this is because of you. "
Hearing these words, Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
He really didn't understand how this unexpected wok had landed on his head.
"… Me?"
"That's right." Lawrence nodded and said, "From new energy to space exploration, Lawrence bet a lot on future issues. He bet on the right direction, but in the end, he lost the bet. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. At his most frustrated moment, he heard the call from the Void.
"Although the sound was very weak, and he ignored the tiny disturbance for a time, he finally noticed it and built a huge computer array for him. It was easy to dismantle the secrets contained in the less than 2 kilobytes program …"
"Later, as you can see, we built the largest supercomputer array in the solar system on Ceres, named it Matrix, and used it as our brain."
At this point, Lawrence's voice was slightly low. He stared intently at Lu Zhou with a complicated look in his eyes.
"We completed this great project in a century. It will take at most another half a century for us to be reborn from the ashes and replace the weak body with a greater, more efficient, healthier, and more rational civilization … When you made him lose everything, do you understand what I mean?"
"If you want to attribute his failure to me, then you really think too highly of me." Lu Zhou said blankly, "To be honest, this plan could not have succeeded at all. Even without me, someone else would have stood up to thwart it."
"Maybe. Anyway, the winner has the upper hand. Besides, I don't mean to blame you." Lawrence smiled faintly and continued, "If you didn't make him lose everything, that coward wouldn't have given up that decaying body and completely released me from the cage. In the past, I had to do things with my hands and feet tied, but now, I can do whatever I want. "
Lu Zhou: "So, The Spirit of The Universe Foundation is also the product of the Boston Family … or your promotion?"
He remembered that this guy said that this ship was his.
In this case, the Alpha Centauri Colonial Exploration Foundation was probably funded by this guy.
"That's not it, but we did use them for a long time. And it turns out that they are indeed a group of guys who can't do anything right. "A sarcastic smile appeared on Lawrence's face." Except for this Noah's Ark, they really didn't do anything for me. "
Lu Zhou: "Unfortunately, it is now called the Milky Way."
"Oh?" As if he had heard something interesting, Lawrence raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Lu Zhou and said happily, "No matter what it is called, come and listen to my opinion."
Lu Zhou: "Go ahead."
Lawrence: "I plan to take this ship with me, or rather, it was originally mine."
Lu Zhou: "Take it with you? Where are you going? "
"Where to? Haha, don't you understand? Of course, the world outside the solar system! " With a trace of fanaticism in his eyes, Lawrence continued in an almost crazy tone, "Thanks to your warp drive, I don't have to stay in the solar system with you. As long as there is enough material and energy, we can easily build a prosperous civilization on a barren star. Even without water and air, these are the things you rely on for survival. "
"I don't quite understand what drives you to do this." Lu Zhou frowned slightly and said, "Is it Lawrence's last wish? Or … "
"No need to guess, you won't understand." Lawrence raised his chin slightly and looked at Lu Zhou with a condescending gaze. He suddenly lowered his tone and continued in a calm tone, "Some things are innate, like a mission. I can feel the call of the Void to me … In fact, aren't you the same?"
Standing behind Lu Zhou, Zhong Ziyu looked at the two with a dumbfounded expression, a little confused about what they were talking about.
Void?
If he remembered correctly, isn't that a physics term? Why is it here?
Lu Zhou suddenly looked back at him.
"You get off this ship first."
Zhong Ziyu: "But you —"
He just wanted to say that he couldn't leave him here alone, but before he could speak, Lu Zhou, who was standing in front of him, interrupted him.
"This is between him and me."
With that, Lu Zhou looked back at Lawrence and said in a calm tone.
"This is a matter between us. I still hope that we don't drag unrelated people into this."
Lawrence raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a cheerful tone with victory in his grasp.
"Of course, I still need someone to go down and bring me a message … Listen, the person standing there, remember to tell your compatriots after you go back that your path is also on my ship. If you act blindly without thinking, I can't guarantee his safety. In addition, when I pass by Alpha Centauri, I will put him there … Believe it or not, I'm not interested in a pile of useless meat anyway. "
Looking at the emotionless eyes, Zhong Ziyu felt that his legs were like lead, and he couldn't move at all.
It wasn't until he met Lu Zhou's eyes that he gained a little courage. After taking a deep breath, he turned around and left.
He believed that Academician Lu would not take his own safety as a joke …
What he had to do now was to return to the shipyard, bring the situation here outside, and let the "professionals" come and rescue.
After Zhong Ziyu left, there were only two people left in the entire hall.
Or rather, one person and one AI.
Lu Zhou closed his eyes and was silent for a while. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face as he spoke softly.
"Very good, the trouble finally left."
"Trouble?" Lawrence raised his eyebrows as if he heard something, but he didn't take it to heart at all. He sneered, "Do you think you still have a chance to make a comeback? Every part of this ship is under my command. They are like my cells — "
"Really?"
Lu Zhou didn't pay attention to him anymore. He just whispered into the air.
"What do you think of this ship, General Reinhardt?"
