Academician Ge asked casually curiously when his attention was attracted by the hourglass-shaped object with wide and flat ends on the printer.
Academician Ge smiled sheepishly and coughed dryly.
Looking at Lu Zhou who said this as if nothing had happened, Academician Ge opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and closed his open mouth.
"...What do you want to do?"
Although he is also a scholar, he does not particularly understand this crazy idea.
"Beyond the speed of light... can this kind of thing really be done?"
"You can't be...serious, right?"
Academician Ge wanted to ask this question, and he almost asked it.
"About 100 years ago, or 101 years ago to be precise, I once opened a hyperspace channel through two Z-particle clocks, but due to the conditions at the time, I couldn't make it exist stably. But after coming to this era , I consulted a lot of literature and came up with some new ideas on how to maintain hyperspace channels. If it weren't for that damn task... I mean that trouble that a certain director threw at me, actually I would rather solve it That’s the problem.”
"So this requires you to think about how to innovate." After filling a tube of metal powder with special marks into the 3D printer, Lu Zhou pressed a few buttons on the 3D printer and said at the same time, "Just like the earliest The controllable fusion reactor was also unprecedented for people at that time. Creating miracles and making the impossible possible is not what we scholars should do?"
The Adam's apple moved slightly, and with an even more incredible expression on Academician Ge's face than before, he spoke with difficulty.
Frowning slightly, Lu Zhou looked at him strangely and asked.
"There is no reason, because I want to travel to a very distant place. If I want to go there, a warp engine is necessary. I once promised a person to leave a legend about us on it."
As the jet black metal shell unfolded, the finished products inside the cabin were also revealed.
Or legend.
When Academician Ge arrived, Lu Zhou happened to be playing with the newly purchased equipment in the laboratory in his front yard, so he asked him to wait outside the laboratory for a while to finish handling the matters at hand before he ordered Xiao Ai to Invite him in.
"Z particle oscillation device."
Looking at Academician Ge who was gradually showing a trace of shame on his face, Lu Zhou continued.
"Why… "
A hundred years ago, he had experimentally proven the hyperspace theory and the related physical properties of Z particles. Although Academician Ge Huaizhi is not a researcher in the relevant field, it is understandable that he does not know about research in this area, but he has never even heard of it. It seems that the research on Z particles has not achieved much in the past hundred years. of attention.
After three days of meetings and all preparations in place, Academician Ge Huaizhi rushed to Jinling in the Yangtze River Delta city cluster and found Academician Lu's home.
Is it too early
"Do you think I'm joking?" Lu Zhou glanced at him and said, "Forget about the chief designer. I still have the same point of view. You should learn to solve some problems by yourselves instead of putting everything aside. Your hope is pinned on me. If you encounter trouble, just come and ask me, and I will try my best to help you wherever I can."
What do you say
Lu Zhou smiled after hearing this, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer this question.
"It seems like you have something to discuss with me. How about it? Does that design plan work?"
"Besides, I have helped you solve the problem of materials and design drawings. If you can't build this space elevator..."
Is this the romance of scientists...
"... We hope that you will serve as the chief designer of this space elevator project. We have already applied to the chairman for this matter, and he has approved it. He said that as long as we can convince you, everything will be OK."
"Well, no one is studying this stuff these days? To put it more simply, it is the key to opening the hyperspace channel, the core of the warp engine or the super-light communication device..." Seeing Academician Ge's face gradually become dull With an expression on his face, Lu Zhou quickly added a paragraph after this sentence, "Of course, this thing is just a part of the experimental product, and it is far from what you understand."
"what is that?"
A wry smile appeared on Academician Ge's face, and he said: "I don't know whether this will work... but for now, it is the best choice."
After a moment of silence, he sighed.
Lu Zhou: "..."
No, this is simply suicide...
Why not
Seeing Academician Ge Huaizhi's sincere look, Lu Zhou couldn't say a strong refusal for a while.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. If you have any requirements, you can put them forward and we will try our best to meet your requirements!"
Although the academic view is that considering the brightness of Tiangang5's star, there may be a habitable Earth-like planet there, but what is the difference between sending yourself to an uncivilized and uninhabited planet and self-exile.
Lu Zhou guessed something from his expression and said casually.
Academician Ge: "You are right, I very much agree with your point of view! But I have to admit that not everyone has the ability to create miracles."
He thought of a rumor.
"After discussion and research by our expert group, we have unanimously concluded that having you as general counsel is overkill."
Sure enough, before he could speak, Academician Ge looked at him intently and spoke in a sincere tone.
Whenever he had similar feelings, trouble would come to his door.
"What's the meaning?"
After listening to what Academician Ge said, Lu Zhou sighed.
Academician Ge sighed and said: "Of course we have considered what you said, but after all, there is no precedent for the things in the space elevator. Apart from this method, we can't think of a better way to compare which plan. It’s more appropriate.”
"To be honest, I didn't expect that today, 100 years after the discovery of the Z particle, someone would still ask this question."
After discussion by the expert group and almost unanimous approval, the space elevator project team finally decided to use this design plan as a construction blueprint, and East Asia Heavy Industries and other engineering units were responsible for the construction.
"I don't quite understand why you insist on letting us solve these problems alone? You are still young. Even after I am buried, you may still be in your prime... At my current age, I can understand you. mood, but is it too early for you to start thinking about cultivating a successor?”
After hearing these words, Lu Zhou's hand movements paused slightly, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"It's not that I'm not happy to be the chief designer, but you should try to learn to think about some problems on your own. You can't expect me to always come up with brilliant ideas or have a brainwave to solve all the troubles you encounter."
At this moment, the 3D printer placed aside suddenly stopped rumbling softly.
"It can only be said that the conditions are not mature yet, and we are not worthy of having it now."
"Academician Lu, I have finally found you!"
Seeing that Lu Zhou's expression seemed reluctant, Academician Ge said quickly.
After stepping over the cardboard boxes piled at the entrance of the laboratory, Academician Ge Huaizhi strode towards Lu Zhou.
Without hiding anything, Academician Ge told Lu Zhou everything that happened at the expert review meeting, as well as the results calculated by the quantum supercomputing array on Ceres.
However, looking at the expression on Lu Zhou's face, he guessed that the boss would not be willing to hear this answer, so after hesitating for a moment, he changed his words to a tactful one.
Looking at Academician Ge who had disbelief written all over his face, Lu Zhou was silent for a while and then sighed.
"After all, calculations are just calculations and do not mean absolute. They can be used as a reference at most. There is no modeling that can completely restore reality. Any tiny variable that is not taken into account may affect the final calculation results. Make an impact.”
That was a century ago. Academician Lu once promised to give his fiancée a star, and established a future-oriented fund in her name, hoping to send a colonial ship to one day in the future. In the distant Tiancangwu, legends belonging to two people are carved there.
At least according to the calculation results of the supercomputer on Ceres, even if the 51% probability does happen, the design plan proposed by Lu Zhou failed, and the risk of causing a major accident is much lower than the other plans.
After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.
"...Z particle oscillation device?"
The success rate of 49% is already very good.
