Soon, the three of them arrived at the industrial area in a maglev car.
Fortunately, Vera, who suddenly jumped into his arms, seemed to realize how embarrassing her behavior was, so she quickly separated from him with a blushing face.
After sending Vera away who was blushing, Lu Zhou then looked at Andrina who pretended not to see anything, thought for a while and continued.
Looking at Lu Zhou with a worried look on his face, Vera whispered.
"It can be said that," Lu Zhou nodded and acknowledged her statement, "by maintaining a stably open hyperspace channel, even without a warp engine, ordinary spacecraft can use the star gate to achieve hyperspace jumps. Across a distance of astronomical units in an extremely short time. And this is not just the exchange of matter, but also information."
"Haha, please don't be so polite." Looking at the embarrassed expression on her face, Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "It seems that you have many things to ask me."
Looking at Lu Zhou with worry written on his face, Vera shook her head gently.
"Her name is Andrina, she is a reporter from Le Monde. We met on the road. Thanks to her help, I got here safely."
"I, I am..." Andrina was about to introduce herself, but she was so excited to see her idol that her voice became incoherent.
"Thank you for taking care of her along the way."
After hearing this, Andrina hurriedly said.
Hearing these words, Lu Zhou couldn't help but show an expression of shame on his face.
At this time, Lu Zhou also noticed the movement here and looked over.
"...I miss you so much that I came to see you...can't you?"
"Yes... I came to Mars this time mainly to interview you. It's just that I haven't figured out how to speak."
After saying that, Lu Zhou saw Wang Peng, nodded and said.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Everything is subject to your time. I can do it at any time!"
Seeing Andrina's sincere apology, Wang Peng nodded without saying anything.
"… This is."
Andrina: "...Is this your expectation for the future?"
Just when Andrina was about to record this touching moment, a gentle cough came from the side.
After staring at it for a while, Andrina finally couldn't help but ask.
"So," Lu Zhou said with a smile, "But I can feel that this day is not far away."
The silver-white metal ring was covered with complex equipment, like a product of some kind of cyberpunk art, stacking complex aesthetics to the extreme.
After a while, she finally spoke as if dreaming.
Noticing Wang Peng looking at him, Lu Zhou smiled at him and told him not to be nervous, "It's okay, we will start testing this equipment soon anyway, and there will be a press conference in a while. It doesn’t matter if it’s made public now, and I also have my plans... Let’s get down to business, Ms. Andrina, I know you probably have a lot of questions to ask.”
"No photography allowed here."
"There's nothing wrong with it," Lu Zhou said with a faint smile, "If you can learn my technique after just two glances, I'll be happy."
Shocked by the future described by Lu Zhou, Andrina had an expression of disbelief on her face.
"let's go."
"Excuse me, are you..."
After listening to Vera's introduction, Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully, looked at Ms. Andrina, smiled slightly, and said friendly.
It's okay to say what this kind of thing is for.
"It sounds... like a science fiction work."
"How could it be?" Lu Zhou reached out and rubbed her hair. He smiled and said, "It's time for me to worry you."
Before coming to Tiangong City, Andrina had been struggling with how to interview Lu Zhou. However, she did not expect that she would finally get the opportunity to interview in this way.
Fortunately, Vera, who was standing next to Lu Zhou, helped her out. The kind-hearted little girl smiled and said.
"That is, human civilization."
"No... but Xiao Ai and I are both worried about you."
Andrina nodded honestly.
This guy Xiao Ai...
"No, no, actually I didn't help much," Andrina waved her hands with a blushing face, and said with a little shame, "I really deserve you to thank me so much."
Seeing Lu Zhou suddenly turn the topic to her, Andrina was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said.
In order to show her sincerity, she took the initiative to turn off her camera and interview drone and handed them over to the man who looked like a bodyguard.
Lu Zhou was a little confused by the sudden hug. Lu Zhou's movements were slightly stiff, as if he was hesitating where to put his hands.
"Well..." Vera glanced at Lu Zhou uneasily, and whispered with a worried expression, "Am I causing trouble for you?"
"It would be great if every reporter could be like you, less clichéd and more sincere," Lu Zhou looked at Vera standing aside and said softly, "You are tired after two weeks of flying. Come on, go and rest quickly. I'll ask Ling to take you to the room in a moment, and leave your luggage to her. "
Startled by the sudden sound, Andrina turned around and saw a strange man standing next to her at some point, seemingly wary of something.
"I didn't mean any harm, I was just a little surprised... I'm sorry, it was my fault for taking out the camera without any explanation."
"How could it not be possible? It's just that you came so far alone... Have you ever flown a space shuttle before?"
"At that time, not only matter and information, but all of us... From the distant Antarctica to the Kuiper Belt a few astronomical units away, whether we are the Earth or Martians, we will be connected as a whole. And for us, Other beings in the galaxy will name me with a unified name."
Looking at Vera who was worried about him in turn, Lu Zhou couldn't help but said, "Why are you worried about me? I'm such a grown-up person and I can't take care of others, but there's nothing wrong with taking care of myself."
In a rather large workshop, Andrina saw a huge metal ring.
"So Ms. Andrina, I wonder if you are interested in participating in the 'first communication' ceremony of our star gate?"
Clearing his throat, he continued.
"The timing is such a coincidence, I happened to be preparing to go to the laboratory of East Asia Heavy Industries."
"Star Gate," he stopped and looked up at the huge ring. Lu Zhou raised a smile on his lips and continued, "The starting point of the hyperspace channel... of course, it can also be the end point."
"That's hard to say..." Vera murmured in a low voice, "I heard about it from Xiao Ai. 100 years ago, you caused a lot of trouble for others."
"Compared to yesterday, every second we experience is science fiction, let alone tomorrow." Lu Zhou looked at her with a faint smile on his face and continued, "Compared with pale words, I I hope you can use something that I cannot understand to convey this shock."
"Well, everyone's time is equally precious," Lu Zhou shook his head and continued, "Well, you come with us."
Before she could react, wisps of fragrant wind hit her arms.
"Eh?" Andrina was stunned for a moment, "Is this... really good?"
"I have heard that many scholars have commented that once super-light technology is integrated into our society, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to our society... It is even no exaggeration to say that we will enter a new era because of this."
Wang Peng nodded to Andrina's proactive overture, but he didn't say much.
