Ever since the door closed, Xiao Tong's attention had been inadvertently drawn away by it.
Although her mother warned her not to disturb her brother, Xiao Tong couldn't help but be curious. She sneaked over while her parents weren't paying attention.
She gulped nervously and pressed her ear against the door.
Huh?
How come there's no sound at all?
Wasn't it supposed to cause a huge commotion?
Just as Xiaotong's head was filled with question marks, the door that her ear was pressed against moved …
Duang —
"Ouch!"
Xiao Tong, who was pushed open by the door, covered her forehead and almost fell to the ground.
Lu Zhou looked at Xiao Tong, who was glaring at him, and paused for a second.
"What are you doing?"
"No, nothing." Xiao Tong looked at Lu Zhou and then at Chen Yushan, who was behind Lu Zhou. Even though her forehead was hurting, she couldn't suppress her curiosity. She whispered, "Brother … You guys stayed in there for a long time … What were you doing?"
"Talking about some things."
Lu Zhou reached out and knocked on her forehead. He ignored the little girl who was covering her forehead with her hands. He knew that he didn't use much strength, so he looked at Chen Yushan.
"I'll walk you out."
"Mhmm." With her hands behind her back, Chen Yushan smiled and nodded. She then followed Lu Zhou to the door.
Speaking of which, before he left, there was a small interlude.
From outside the kitchen, she saw Lu Zhou and Chen Yushan walk to the door. His mother didn't even bother cleaning up and immediately chased after them.
She couldn't wait for this girl, who was pleasing to the eye, to stay for a while longer. She didn't expect that she would leave so soon. Fang Mei, who thought that her son had said something that would make her choke to death, naturally couldn't just leave her alone.
"Why are you leaving so soon? Don't you want to stay a bit longer? Did my kid bully you? Tell me, I'll teach him a lesson! "
Facing the overly enthusiastic old man, Chen Yushan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"No, no, Auntie. I'm here to talk to Lu Zhou about work. Now that we're done here, I won't bother you any longer. "
"How could I disturb you? Speaking of which, you don't have a place to stay in Jiangling, do you? Why don't you stay in our house? We happen to have a spare room. I'll tidy up the guest room. "
"This … isn't too good."
Chen Yushan twirled her bangs with her index finger as she spoke with some embarrassment.
Seeing that his mother was about to say something, Lu Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.
"Mom, don't make such difficult requests," Wang Yao said.
With that, Lu Zhou looked at Chen Yushan.
"Let's go."
"Hmm …"
After walking out of the house with Chen Yushan, Lu Zhou was finally relieved.
Fortunately, he was able to resolve the situation in time, so the atmosphere was not awkward.
But for some reason, when he sent Senior Sister to the door, he felt that it was a pity on her face.
Is there something you haven't finished talking about?
It's probably an illusion …
After watching Chen Yushan go downstairs, Lu Zhou didn't stay at the door. He turned around and went back into the house. He was about to return to his room to continue his unfinished research before lunch.
However, when he passed by the sofa in the living room, Xiao Tong, who was playing with her phone, suddenly kicked him in the calf.
"Why did you kick me? If you want a drink, go get it yourself. "
"Bro, you're so stupid!"
"…?"
"… Who told you to hit my forehead, this is payback." Just when Lu Zhou was about to ask her what was wrong with her, Xiao Tong stuck out her tongue and continued to play her game.
Lu Zhou looked at her with a confused expression. He didn't quite understand what she was trying to do.
Why is this so weird?
Whatever …
I won't stoop to her level.
Lu Zhou shook his head and ignored her. He turned around and went back to his room.
…
Lu Zhou sat at his desk. Before he began his research, he flipped through the document that Chen Yushan gave him.
This document was titled "Smart City", and it contained many research directions with high market potential.
Some of them were relatively realistic, such as holographic interaction systems, wireless charging technology, etc.
There were also some that Lu Zhou thought were ridiculous, such as magnetic levitation cars.
In the discussion of the Star Sky Technology think tank … If the Yangtze River Delta city group accelerated under the influence of controllable fusion, the population density of Shanghai and its surrounding areas would rise to a new height.
The resulting traffic pressure couldn't be solved by designing more overpasses and underground lanes. They had to find a way to change traffic from a flat two-dimensional structure to a three-dimensional traffic system.
Which was to make cars fly in the air, instead of being limited to flat roads.
Even though this sounded ridiculous, wasn't this how science fiction movies were made? Flying cars shuttled between the towering skyscrapers, and with the help of artificial intelligence, they had achieved fully automated driving …
Of course, these things couldn't be achieved in a day or two, but they were definitely going to happen. Before anyone realized what was going on, Star Sky Technology, which had unparalleled research and development capabilities in China, could take the lead in these areas.
Just like how they had already completed the development of lithium-sulfur batteries.
Every lithium-sulfur battery produced in the world created a profit of no less than US $10 for Star Sky Technology.
If they could follow this blueprint and invest in technologies that were destined to change human lifestyles in the future, then Star Sky Technology would become a more profitable company than real estate companies. They might even become the father of the entire human race … or something like that.
However, what really attracted Lu Zhou wasn't the economic value of this proposal, but the blueprint for the future.
"Smart city …"
More accurately, it should be called a city of the future.
As Lu Zhou looked at the technologies that needed to be explored in the proposal, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
This was the first time he felt like he was in the future when he was not in the laboratory.
What would the future of China be like?
If this was 20 years ago, most people would say that the current United States or Japan would be the answer.
But now, the question of what the future would be like …
The future could only be defined by us.
…
On the 15th day of Chinese New Year, two major international events happened.
The first major event was that China's aerospace companies, led by Star Sky Technology and the two aerospace companies, received a total US $7 billion order from NASA for the Lunar Gateway project.
This included a US $3 billion launch mission, as well as some aerospace parts that weren't on the embargo list.
Due to the principle of trade protection, most of the orders fell on American aerospace companies such as Space-X, Blue Origin, and Boeing. However, with the space race in full swing, the fact that Chinese aerospace companies were still able to steal a piece of the pie from the Americans still surprised many outsiders.
Last year, when the Ares program was at its peak, this was something that no one dared to imagine.
This reminded many people of the 1970s, when the Apollo and Soyuz shook hands in low-Earth orbit.
After a period of fierce competition, the two superpowers finally shook hands. Whether it was a temporary truce or a handshake, the two countries had reached a consensus that development was more important than anything else.
The Americans also believed that even if they wanted to rebuild their space dominance, this was definitely not the right time.
As for the second major event, it was also related to aerospace.
On the second day of the 15th day of the Chinese New Year.
Lu Zhou received a call from Beijing, and he boarded a flight to Beijing. He was going to attend a conference that was crucial to China's aerospace industry and the world's physics community …
