Chapter 1633 Fuse

While Lu Zhou was delving into the mysteries of the warp speed engine, all the forces in Tiangong City were completely in chaos because of his disappearance.

Whether it is the Nanmen II Colonial Exploration Foundation, the Mars Colonial City Alliance that is plotting to be independent, or the intelligence department of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, everyone wants to know where Lu Zhou has gone.

However, the chaotic situation does not seem to affect people's daily life.

Even though the disappearance of Academician Lu almost pushed the relationship between the various forces to a tense situation, people are still concerned about the corporate bonds issued by the Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Fund, which has hit new highs in succession, and the 100,000 boat tickets that have been sold.

At this moment, downstairs of the headquarters building of the Nanmen II Colonial Exploration Foundation, the broadcast vehicles of major news media and countless private cars almost filled the entire parking lot and even the nearby streets.

In order to avoid the stampede, the company's security guards pulled up a barrier at the door to maintain order and persuaded the people around here to leave.

Among those who surrounded the entrance of the building were journalists from news organizations, entrepreneurs who wanted to seek cooperation, or middlemen who wanted to buy more corporate bonds and resell ship tickets.

I have to admit that the Nanmen II Colonial Exploration Fund has indeed caught up with a good time.

Now the problem of traveling faster than the speed of light has been solved, and whether it is a wind or a fact, Mars intends to build the largest space port in the entire solar system and lead the development of Europa.

All of these indicate that human beings are ready to go to more distant worlds, and people's enthusiasm for the outer galaxy world is unprecedentedly high.

Such a grand event has never happened several times since Tiangong City was established.

For the Martians who are accustomed to being free and undisciplined, this is probably the first time that they have spontaneously applauded the same thing.

The top floor of the building.

In the general manager's office.

Lawrence, who was standing in the holographic light beam, was overlooking the streetscape of Tiangong City through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office.

As the owner of this office, Gladstone, who was sitting on an office chair, was playing with the crafts in his hand. It was a golden badge with strange patterns tattooed on it. It's hard to tell which year this thing is from just looking at the workmanship, but judging from his cherishing actions, this thing should have been with him for many years.

At this moment, Lawrence, who was standing by the French window, suddenly spoke.

"To be honest, I've always been very curious about your tastes."

"Oh?" Stopping what he was doing, Gladstone put the badge in his pocket and cast an interested look at Lawrence, "I'm happy to answer your questions."

"It's not confusing at all," Lawrence continued with a faint smile, "just from the perspective of efficiency, your emotions are nothing more than the combined effect of nerve signal transmission and hormone secretion, and these are all It can be satisfied through chemical and information technology. If so, why bother to build so many meaningless artificial objects here, and then use them to produce some garbage that is destined to be wasted."

"This is indeed an interesting question, and it is also very difficult to answer." Gladstone pondered for a while, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I have to find a reason, it is probably that everyone has been doing this for thousands of years. , Maybe there is something hidden in our genes that we don't even know."

"Gene?" Looking at the face reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lawrence pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in an understated voice, "Thinking about it, the person who created me seems to be a contradictory guy. In the first half of the year During the years, he yearned for his dream to come true almost every day, but he hesitated at the last moment when the dream was about to come true, so that I had to ask someone to force him.”

Gladstone opened his mouth, originally wanting to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he finally didn't speak.

Intuition told him that it would be superfluous to say anything at this time.

That Lawrence didn't care what they were thinking, and didn't care at all.

It's like they don't care about it as an artificial intelligence, why is it obsessed with things that now seem to them to be completely meaningless.

The two sides only temporarily stood together because of their common interests.

That's all.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Gladstone glanced at Lawrence and saw that the latter had no objection, so he cleared his throat and said.

"come in."

The door opened, and a man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the room quickly, speaking in a hurry.

"Something's wrong, Mr. Gladstone, something's wrong!"

Looking at the man in front of him, Gladstone frowned slightly.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with his subordinate's gaffe, it was obviously not the time to care about these trivial matters.

"Take a few breaths first, and then speak clearly about what happened."

"City Hall, news from over there!" He glanced at Lawrence standing by the window, the man swallowed, and continued sweating profusely, "Lu Zhou is missing!"

Hearing this sentence, not only Gladstone, but even Lawrence who was standing by the French window was stunned.

"Missing?" His lips slightly opened and closed. Lawrence turned his head in disbelief, looked at the man standing at the door and said, "Are you sure he is missing?"

Taking a quick glance at Gladstone, he saw that his boss seemed to respect the strange old man standing by the window, so he no longer shy away from it, and said truthfully.

"...Yes, Mayor Xue sent someone to the hotel where Lu Zhou was staying, but there was no one there. Then we searched his room, all of which were useless personal items, nothing at all. See the shadow of the warp drive blueprint!"

Gladstone's heart skipped a beat.

What he was most worried about still happened.

"You go down first."

"yes……"

The man standing at the door nodded quickly, exited the door respectfully, and closed the office door behind him.

Without even a second's delay, Gladstone caught sight of Lawrence standing by the window and complained to him of a begging look.

"what should we do?"

"This is indeed a big trouble. Without the warp drive, we would be inseparable from the solar system," Lawrence continued after a moment of silence, looking at the bustling streets outside the window, "and more than that, our troubles may be bigger than Bigger than you think."

"Bigger than imagined?" Gladstone frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

"You should have discovered that Mayor Xue in Tiangong City has a tendency to be independent."

"Does this need to be discovered? Eighty percent of the upper echelons of the city hall have this idea."

"So I said we might be in big trouble," looked at Gladstone, who was stunned, and Lawrence, who was facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, continued in an intriguing tone, "Imagine that you are the suzerain country, and your colonial seizure You have lost your most outstanding scholar, but the technology he has mastered can completely reverse the strategic balance between the two parties."

For a moment, Gladstone's face finally changed.

"You, you mean..."

Not paying attention to Gladstone's psychological changes, Lawrence continued with a blank expression.

"Whether he disappeared or was secretly picked up by the Pan-Asian Cooperation, war seems inevitable."

Almost at the same time.

Pan-Asian Cooperation Headquarters.

After reading the report from the Security Bureau, Li Guangya angrily pounded his hands on the table.

"Those guys who eat inside and out, I should have recognized their hypocrisy long ago."

"Mr. Chairman, we are probably facing the most severe test of Pan-Asian cooperation since its establishment," Secretary Wei continued with a serious expression looking at the chairman, "Academician Lu is likely to be controlled by them. Once we master warp speed technology and apply it to the battlefield, our advantages will disappear. You must make a decision immediately, which will affect the fate of the entire Pan-Asian cooperation!"

"Is there still a need to choose? Suppressing the rebels is the job of the army," Li Guangya ordered cursingly, "The military exercise has started ahead of time. Let the First Fleet drive over and bring the orbital airborne troops."

"If you encounter resistance, fire back immediately."

"Don't be polite to them!"
