"Master! QAQ”
After some twists and turns, Lu Zhou finally moved Xiao Ai's server to the Milky Way.
Xiao Ai could no longer suppress the longing in his heart. He immediately controlled the bionic body that he was most satisfied with and flew into Lu Zhou's arms, hanging on his neck like a sloth.
"Woah, Xiao Ai misses you so much! > _ <:: "
"Good boy, I see you now, right? Besides, I didn't go anywhere far … Okay, okay, I won't leave you behind for so long in the future. "
Lu Zhou gently patted the little head that was drilling into his chest. After comforting the emotional Xiao Ai for a while, he persuaded it to come down from his neck.
Although the body of about 30 kilograms wasn't heavy in a low-gravity environment, it was still embarrassing to let others see it.
In particular, he could already feel a pair of eyes staring intently at his back.
"Don't always do this kind of thing in the future." Vera stared at Xiao Ai, who jumped down from Lu Zhou's neck, and whispered, "There are so many people around, if you do this … it will bother the professor."
Xiao Ai: "Huh? Is that so? Then … Master, when there is no one around, let's … (///ω///) "
Vera: "…!"
"What the f * ck!" Lu Zhou knocked on the little guy's head. He looked at Xiao Ai, who was covering his forehead with a look of grievance. Lu Zhou couldn't bear it anymore. He sighed and said, "Be a little more normal, we have to get down to business."
"Okay, then Xiao Ai will endure a little longer … QAQ!"
Lu Zhou: "…"
Standing next to him, he looked at Lu Zhou, who was scolding Xiao Ai, and then at the blonde girl who seemed to be jealous. Wang Peng had an awkward expression on his face.
He coughed lightly and said, "Should we leave first …"
Zhong Ziyu, who was next to him, also nodded. He had the same strange expression on his face.
With an apologetic smile at the two, Lu Zhou turned around, cleared his throat, and continued.
"Actually, I asked you to come here today because I have an important announcement."
Zhong Ziyu was slightly stunned and spoke hesitantly.
"What is it …"
"From today on, I will serve as the captain of the Milky Way. I will be responsible for the first colonization expedition in the history of human civilization to a world outside the solar system …" Looking at the two people whose expressions didn't change, Lu Zhou blinked slightly in surprise and said embarrassedly, "Uh, why aren't you surprised at all?"
"Because this rumor has been around for a long time …" Zhong Ziyu sighed and said, "If you go online, you should be able to see it. As early as when Star Sky Technology bought Noah's Ark and changed the destination from Alpha Centauri to Tau Ceti, many people on the Internet were discussing whether you were going to go with them."
Wang Peng didn't speak. He just nodded silently.
But judging from the expression on his face, he was obviously reluctant to let his old friend go so far away.
With a helpless expression on his face, Lu Zhou shrugged and said, "Okay … It seems that the next time I make such a major decision, I should maintain a sense of mystery in advance, so that it can have a shocking effect when I announce it."
"I don't think so. I think this is good. At least the people who care about you can be mentally prepared in advance." Zhong Ziyu sighed and continued, "To be honest, don't you have any … emotions like reluctance in your heart?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Why not? It's just that I don't usually want to show it. Besides, I don't think this is a separation of life and death. There is still a long way to go. One day, we will meet again at the end of the universe or some other corner of the world … Well, let's save these words for the press conference. Otherwise, I don't know what to say. "
Lu Zhou looked at Wang Peng, who hadn't spoken much.
"What about you? If you have anything to say to me, now is a good opportunity … Of course, you can wait until the day of departure. "
After hearing these words, Wang Peng was silent for a while. He sighed softly and spoke.
"Actually, I don't know what to say …"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Just say what you want to say."
"Can you take me with you?"
"This … I'm afraid not." Scratching the back of his head, Lu Zhou said awkwardly, "There is something I haven't told you. Although it's not convenient to say it now … You just need to know that you have to stay on Earth. You can even treat it as your mission."
Wang Peng shook his head and said, "I only have one mission, and that is to protect you. If you don't need me to follow you, it will end on the day you leave the solar system. "
Lu Zhou: "That's good. You have been busy for so long, you should take a good rest. Think more about yourself in the second half of your life. "
"It makes me a little uneasy that you suddenly speak in such a tone." Zhong Ziyu coughed lightly and continued, "Let me confirm again, you are going to Tau Ceti, which is ten light-years away, not Andromeda, which is millions of light-years away."
"Haha, why would I? Millions of light-years is too far, at least for me now. I'll go there when I have the chance. "
For some reason, Zhong Ziyu didn't feel relieved when he heard these words. Instead, his right eyelid couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Go there when I have the chance?
Does this guy really plan to go to a world millions of light-years away?
If someone else had said this, he would've just treated it as a boast that didn't even make sense.
But the person standing in front of him was Academician Lu, which made it impossible for him to treat this as a joke.
After all, the "jokes" this guy made seemed to have come true …
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Nothing." Zhong Ziyu, who had been staring at Lu Zhou for a long time, shook his head, and replied truthfully, "I just want to confirm when you plan to go to Andromeda."
Lu Zhou almost choked on his words. He coughed and spoke.
He coughed and said, "I just said it casually, you took it seriously …"
Zhong Ziyu nodded honestly.
"I believe you … Can you tell me? When will a warp drive that can go millions of light-years away be built? "
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "Don't think about this kind of thing, you won't see it in your lifetime."
A century?
Maybe two centuries?
He believed that there must be a shortcut in this universe that was more convenient than the hyperspace channel, and he was confident that he would find it one day in the future …
However, he was the only one who could afford to wait for the time needed for this to happen.
"Okay, let's not talk about Andromeda … In fact, there is one more important thing. I originally planned to wait for you to return to Mars before holding a press conference to tell you."
Zhong Ziyu asked, "What about now?"
Lu Zhou: "Now I plan to ask you to help me with this press conference, because I plan to stay on the Milky Way for a few days, and then go to Ceres … Anyway, I'm very busy, that's all."
Zhong Ziyu sighed and said, "Okay … What is it?"
"It's about the research on the interplanetary quantum communication network." Lu Zhou looked at the two people standing in front of him, whose faces were gradually filled with surprise. He couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face as he said, "Around this time yesterday, my research was completed."
