Chapter 1575 Plans Can't Keep Up With Changes

With the end of the second-generation controllable fusion project, the work in hand finally came to an end, and Lu Zhou was finally free.

Since he has been in seclusion for most of the past six months, he has not gathered with his old friends for a while.

Therefore, Director Li called Li Gaoliang, who happened to be back on earth, Wang Peng and Lu Zhou, and went to the grilled fish shop he often went to, opened a case of beer, and drank with the appetizers stand up.

"The days go by so fast, it's another year in a blink of an eye."

"yes."

"Don't just be, come on, let's have a drink."

After clinking a glass with Lu Zhou, Director Li, who was blushing after drinking, stared straight at the white mist rising from the pot, not sure if he was thinking about the past or the future.

Li Gaoliang and Wang Peng also had a drink and said with a smile.

"I heard that you have done a good job in the Security Bureau recently?"

"well enough."

"It's just okay?" Li Gaoliang said with a smile, "I've heard people say that there is an old Popsicle who is very good at hitting from the Security Bureau. There are not many people in the team who can compare."

Wang Peng also smiled, and said modestly: "That person is probably not me."

At this time, Director Li suddenly sighed with emotion, and said, "Speaking of a space elevator, can this thing really be built?"

Wang Peng and Li Gaoliang both turned their attention to the only person sitting here who understood this aspect.

In fact, they are also very curious about this matter. You must know that a century ago, space elevators were rarely even seen in science fiction blockbusters.

"Theoretically, it should be possible," Lu Zhou continued after thinking for a while, "Unlike the second-generation controllable fusion, what the space elevator is facing at this stage is not a technically difficult problem to solve, but needs to be considered. Existing technology implemented into visible results."

"In other words, is there hope? Open the elevator..."

While talking, Director Li sighed, and for some reason, his tone suddenly became a little melancholy, "The development of the times is really getting faster and faster, except for this plate of grilled fish, which is still the same, more and more things like me, an old man do not understand."

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little heavy.

Lu Zhou didn't feel anything, but Wang Peng and Li Gaoliang fell silent at the same time.

They also understand the feeling of being left behind by the times.

This is under normal circumstances, they are not willing to touch this topic...

After drinking and eating, the group dispersed.

Sitting in the same car as Wang Peng, Lu Zhou fastened his seat belt, glanced at the bionic driver, then saw Wang Peng again, and asked with a smile.

"They still give you a driver now?"

"It's just a bionic driver, it seems quite common in private cars."

Lu Zhou: "Is there any progress in the case of the Universal Spirit Foundation?"

"Not much progress." Regarding Lu Zhou, Wang Peng didn't have much scruples, shook his head and said straightforwardly, "Although we have also caught some small bosses and grassroots personnel, big fish like Morinaga Yuan, But one has not been caught. The clues found so far are that they will regularly hold meetings through the virtual reality network, and no one knows their respective identities in reality."

Lu Zhou laughed and joked.

"Okay, sounds more and more like a story between a superhero and an evil villain."

"It would be great if that was the case. Popcorn movies usually have a happy ending, but in reality it doesn't always have to be."

A helpless expression appeared on Wang Peng's face. But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something that he wanted to ask but never asked, so he continued.

"Speaking of which, when you came to visit me in San Francisco, what exactly... did you do to me?"

Although he felt that his way of asking was very strange, he still asked because he couldn't hold back his curiosity.

Lu Zhou didn't answer the question directly, but just smiled and said, "Does this body feel good?"

Wang Peng nodded.

"It's really useful..."

"As long as it's easy to use," Lu Zhou laughed twice, waved his hands and said, "You don't need to care about other things, you just need to know that I won't hurt you."

In the end, until the car stopped in front of Lu Zhou's house, Wang Peng didn't find out what did Academician Lu do to make himself better that day?

Watching the man's back disappear at the door, Wang Pengcai looked at the bionic driver holding the steering wheel and nodded to signal him to send him home.

On the other hand, Lu Zhou, who had just returned home, received a call from the Ministry of Science and Technology just after dealing with Xiao Ai's enthusiastic pounce.

"Tomorrow there will be a seminar on the space elevator at the Ministry of Science and Technology. Is it convenient for you to come over?"

Thinking that there are still some things to deal with at the school tomorrow, Lu Zhou asked.

"Is it important?"

"The key is not to mention the key. It is mainly for the selection of the anchorage site and the integration of research resources for the space elevator project," the Minister of Science and Technology said with a smile. "After all, the entire project involves hundreds of research institutes 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 will easily lead to big trouble."

Regarding this sentence, Lu Zhou agrees.

After all, after being the chief designer for so many years, he has seen many oolongs due to lack of communication in the project team.

However, this kind of thing cannot be solved in one or two meetings, it takes a long time to adjust.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said.

"I have something to do tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

The Minister of Science and Technology did not insist, and said with a relaxed tone with a smile.

"It's okay. We weren't particularly anxious on our side. If you don't have time, you can deal with your own affairs first. I'll contact you when I need your help."

Lu Zhou nodded.

"No problem, if there is any trouble that cannot be solved, remember to call me."

The Minister of Science and Technology smiled and said, "Definitely!"

...

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Zhou asked Ling to drive and sent him to the University City, and went straight to the administrative building of Jinling University.

By coincidence, when he arrived, his mentor, Sun Lan, just came out of the office with a bag of documents.

Seeing Lu Zhou, her eyes lit up immediately, and she said with a smile.

"Congratulations, you have completed all the preparatory courses, and here is your diploma...I was going to give it to you in the classroom."

Glancing at the electronic graduation certificate suspended in the holographic window, Lu Zhou stretched out his index finger and clicked on it, and poured the holographic code on the electronic certificate into his electronic certificate folder.

In the future era, the low-carbon economy is really going to the end. Even the key things such as graduation certificates are not kept in paper documents, are they all electronic?

However, considering that in this era, both identity ID and bank card balance have been digitized and stored on the cloud built by the quantum supercomputing center, this is the most efficient and safe choice.

"That is to say, I graduated?"

"Hmm..." With some regret and reluctance on her face, Sun Lan nodded and said, "I believe that after this year of study, you have fully integrated into the current society, so naturally there is no need to continue studying for preparatory courses. "

"Thank you," Lu Zhou nodded, thanking him, "It's been a hard time."

Smiling a little embarrassedly, Sun Lan continued.

"Where... After all, this is my job, and it's all I should do."

"A job is a job, but I can still tell if I put energy into it."

Smiling, after Lu Zhou said his farewell, he was about to turn around and walk towards the elevator.

However, at this moment, the door of the elevator opened, and a group of unexpected people came out of the elevator.

Looking at Li Guangya who appeared here, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned and asked.

"How did you come?"

Although he came here for the big guy in front of him, Li Guangya obviously didn't expect that he would run into him so soon, so he coughed dryly and said in an embarrassed tone.

"I...we need your help."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou's face was full of strange expressions.

Although he also expected that the space elevator project might not be as simple as this guy imagined, but he was really surprised that he ran into unsolvable troubles so quickly.

After all, the tone of the Minister of Science and Technology's phone call to him last night was still a look of ease.

People who don't know think that this space elevator has already been built...

"Where is the problem? Can you tell me?"

"It's very inconvenient... We may have encountered more problems than we imagined," Li Guangya continued with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Anyway, why don't you come here?"
