"Work is work, but I can still tell whether you put your energy into it."
People who don't know think that this space elevator has already been built...
"It's okay. We weren't particularly anxious originally. If you're not free, just deal with your own affairs first. I'll contact you when I need your help."
"Where... this is my job after all, it's what I should do."
Lu Zhou nodded.
With the completion of the second-generation controllable fusion project, the work at hand finally came to an end, and Lu Zhou was finally free.
Lu Zhou smiled and joked.
"The key is not really the key. It is mainly to select the location of the anchorage and integrate the research resources of the space elevator project," the Minister of Science and Technology said with a smile. "After all, the entire project involves hundreds of research units and many project teams. There are dozens of them, and they may not know each other. If there is a problem in the communication link, it can easily lead to big trouble."
Seeing Li Guangya appearing here, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned and asked.
"What exactly is the problem? Can you please tell me."
Wang Peng and Li Gaoliang unanimously turned their attention to the only person sitting here who knew this.
By coincidence, when he arrived, his instructor Sun Lan walked out of the office with a bag of documents.
Since he has been in seclusion for most of the past six months, it has been a while since he got together with his old friends.
"The days go by so fast, and it's been another year in a blink of an eye."
Watching the man's back disappear from the door, Wang Peng looked at the android driver who was holding the steering wheel and was waiting, and nodded to indicate to him to take him home.
This is usually the case, they just don’t want to touch on this topic...
Li Gaoliang and Wang Peng also had a drink and said with a smile.
"It would be great if that were the case. Popcorn movies usually have a perfect ending, but in reality this is not necessarily the case."
"Is it important?"
On the other side, Lu Zhou returned home. He had just finished dealing with Xiao Ai's enthusiastic attack when he received a call from the Ministry of Science and Technology.
"Don't just do it, come on, let's have a drink."
"well enough."
"In other words, I graduated?"
"I...we need your help."
At this moment, Director Li suddenly sighed with emotion and said, "Speaking of the space elevator, can this thing really be built?"
In the end, until the car stopped in front of Lu Zhou's house, Wang Peng didn't find out what exactly Academician Lu did that day to make him feel better
Lu Zhou: "Is there any progress in the case of the Universe Spirit Foundation?"
As he spoke, Director Li sighed, and for some reason his tone suddenly became melancholy, "The times are really developing faster and faster. Except for this plate of grilled fish, which is still the same, there are more and more things that I, an old man, have already forgotten. do not understand."
"It's just okay?" Li Gaoliang said with a smile, "I heard someone say that there is an old popsicle from the Security Bureau who is very good at fighting. He does not have an offensive implant on his body. The entire Security Bureau But there aren’t many people in the team who can compete.”
After all, after being the chief designer for so many years, he has seen a lot of mistakes caused by poor communication in the project team.
Regarding this sentence, Lu Zhou agreed.
"Thank you," Lu Zhou said with a nod of thanks, "It's been a hard work this time."
After taking a look at the electronic graduation certificate suspended in the holographic window, Lu Zhou stretched out his index finger and tapped it, then poured the holographic code on the electronic certificate into his electronic ID folder.
"How did you come?"
In fact, they were also very curious about this matter. You must know that a century ago, space elevators were rarely seen in science fiction blockbusters.
"I have something to do tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go."
"As long as it works," Lu Zhou laughed loudly, waved his hands and said, "You don't need to worry about anything else. You just need to know that I won't harm you."
Although he felt that his question was strange, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked it anyway.
The Minister of Science and Technology did not insist, and said with a smile in a relaxed tone.
"Speaking of which, when you came to San Francisco to see me, what on earth... did you do to me."
Lu Zhou didn't feel anything, but Wang Peng and Li Gaoliang fell silent at the same time.
"Well..." With some regret and reluctance on his face, Sun Lan nodded and said, "I believe that after this year of study, you have fully integrated into the current society. Naturally, there is no need to continue studying for preparatory courses."
Although he came here for the big boss in front of him, Li Guangya obviously didn't expect that he would bump into him so quickly, so he coughed dryly and said in an awkward tone.
After having enough wine and food, the group dispersed.
In the future era, the low-carbon economy will really be carried out to the end. Even important things like graduation certificates will not be retained in paper documents. Will everything be electronic
"yes."
Lu Zhou did not answer the question directly. He just smiled and said, "Does this body feel useful?"
After all, the Minister of Science and Technology's tone when he called him last night was still calm.
…
They also understand the feeling of being left behind by the times.
Early the next morning, Lu Zhou asked Ling to drive him to the university town and went straight to the administration building of Jinling University.
The Minister of Science and Technology smiled and said: "Definitely!"
However, this kind of thing cannot be solved in one or two meetings, it takes a long time to break in.
Therefore, Director Li called Li Gaoliang, who had just returned to Earth after taking a break, and also invited Wang Peng and Lu Zhou to go to the grilled fish restaurant he often went to. He opened a box of beer and drank it with wine and food. stand up.
Although he also expected that the space elevator project might not be as simple as this guy imagined, he was still surprised that he ran into unsolvable troubles so quickly.
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou spoke.
However, considering that in this era, both identity ID and bank card balances have been digitized and stored on the cloud built by the quantum supercomputing center, this is the most efficient and safe option.
When she saw Lu Zhou, her eyes suddenly lit up and she spoke with a smile.
"Okay, it sounds more and more like a story between a superhero and an evil villain."
"It's very inconvenient... We may encounter more problems than we imagined," Li Guangya continued with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Anyway, why don't you come over?"
A helpless expression appeared on Wang Peng's face. But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something that he had never wanted to ask, so he continued.
“It’s really useful…”
"Theoretically it should be possible," Lu Zhou continued after thinking for a moment. "Unlike second-generation controllable fusion, what the space elevator faces at this stage is not a problem that is difficult to solve technically. It needs to figure out how to solve it. Existing technology realizes visible results.”
"It's just a bionic driver. It seems to be quite common in private cars."
Thinking that there were some things to deal with at school tomorrow, Lu Zhou asked.
Wang Peng nodded.
Wang Peng also smiled and said modestly: "That person is probably not me."
Director Li had a drink with Lu Zhou, and his face turned red after drinking. He looked straight at the white mist rising from the pot, wondering whether he was thinking about the past or the future.
"Not much progress has been made." Wang Peng didn't have much scruples about Lu Zhou. He shook his head and said bluntly, "Although we have also captured some small leaders and grassroots personnel, big fish like Morinaga Gen. But none of them have been caught. The clues found so far are that they regularly hold meetings through the virtual reality network, and no one knows their identities in reality."
Hearing these words, Lu Zhou's face was filled with strange expressions.
"No problem. If there's any trouble that can't be solved, remember to call me."
After smiling, Lu Zhou said goodbye and was about to turn around and walk towards the elevator.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little heavy.
However, at this moment, the elevator door opened, and a group of people that he didn't expect walked out of the elevator.
"Congratulations, you have completed all preparatory courses. This is your graduation certificate... I was going to give it to you in the classroom."
After getting into the same car as Wang Peng, Lu Zhou fastened his seat belt and glanced at the android driver, then saw Wang Peng and asked with a smile.
"I heard that you have done well in the Security Bureau recently?"
"Have they given you a driver now?"
"In other words, is there hope? Open the elevator..."
Sun Lan smiled sheepishly and continued.
"There will be a seminar on space elevators at the Ministry of Science and Technology tomorrow. Can you come over at a convenient time?"
