Chapter 1679 Nine Hundred Years Ahead of Schedule

It was a cloud of purple liquid.

The reason why it is called a mass is because it is not lying quietly in the test tube like an ordinary liquid at all, but is like a mass of nothingness, suspended there quietly, dominated by unknown forces, and It moves smoothly under the invisible ripples.

Just like a developing fetus.

Looking at the test tube on the experiment table curiously, Vera asked, "...Is this what you said, the psychic potion?"

During this period of time, Vera has been acting as Lu Zhou's assistant, using the knowledge learned from him to help him complete some of the calculations involved in the experiment.

For example, this unnamed mysterious medicine is one of the products of their cooperation.

Although most of the work is done by Lu Zhou himself...

"To be precise, it is an imitation of it," Lu Zhou continued after a pause, "Through the scanner on the spacecraft, I roughly analyzed its structure... Although it contains many components that cannot be fully resolved, But I still tried to find some substitutes by speculative methods of computational chemistry."

Vera: "Just by drinking it, can I communicate with the void?"

"Yes and no," he threw out an ambiguous answer, seeing the confused expression on Vera's face, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, and continued, "The void is not something that comes and goes when you call it. , Its intersection with the universe we know is itself an accident. Even if you get a stepping stone to establish a connection with it, it does not mean that you can communicate with it smoothly. Only when the sample is large enough can the probability be compensated The short board on the board."

In fact, General Reinhardt's answer to the explanation of the psychic potion is quite vague.

Maybe it's because he himself comes from a powerful materialistic civilization, so he naturally has resistance to the wonderful skills and ingenuity of idealistic civilization.

But in any case, since establishing a connection with the void is one of the solutions to natural disasters given by the observer civilization, there must be a reason for this.

Lu Zhou planned to take away the bottle of potion he got from the spaceship, and this imitation was the last gift he planned to leave to his hometown before leaving.

The curiosity in her eyes became stronger, Vera looked up at Lu Zhou, and continued to ask: "What is the void you keep talking about?"

Hearing this question, Lu Zhou thought for a while and replied: "Everyone has their own different understandings. For example, someone once told me that it is the other side of the universe, and some people said that it is some kind of container... And my understanding is that it corresponds to death."

Vera: "...death?"

"Well," Lu Zhou nodded slightly, and said meaningfully, "The universe is alive, but the void is dead."

Having said that, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, then continued.

"I plan to keep this potion, but I don't plan to give it to anyone... Its existence may not be a good thing for our civilization, at least at this stage."

Vera: "It sounds difficult to understand..."

"Is it difficult to understand? Actually, it's okay..." Lu Zhou smiled lightly, sighed and said, "The more troublesome thing is that I have to entrust him to a trustworthy person, and guarantee that his descendants Future generations will also be able to keep this secret until two centuries or even three centuries later, our civilization has become firm enough on the path of materialism, and science has penetrated deeper into society for us... By then, I to be able to trust that it is safe."

He still remembers the crisis of physics in the last century.

Because of the loss of mass produced during the Lunar Hadron Collider experiment, countless physicists fell into a double dilemma both mentally and physically. Until later, he theoretically completed the theory of void and defined a kind of in-dimensional The vibrating Z particle in the sense of meaning can solve this problem.

To be honest, this theory was quite advanced for the earth at that time.

He's not sure that, without himself, the IMCRC researchers could finally solve a conundrum that threatens the stability of the entire physics community.

"Have you thought about who to entrust?"

"Not yet," Lu Zhou shook his head lightly, "There are many people I can trust, but I can't guarantee that their descendants will inherit their ideals."

Vera thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "Actually... I have an idea."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou immediately asked.

"What idea?"

"You can take it to Tiancang 5 and hide it, and then leave the clues to find it on the earth... Just make sure that after two or three centuries, that person can find you hidden in Tiancang 5 according to your clues. The reagents, should be fine, right?"

Hearing Vera's idea, Lu Zhou's eyes gradually lit up.

"Keep the keys separate from the treasure chest? Sounds like a lot of fun."

Vera smiled shyly and said softly.

"It's like a treasure hunt."

"Just do as you said." Gently took the test tube off the test tube rack, Lu Zhou pinched it in his hand and looked at it for a while, suddenly seemed to think of something, looked back Vera, who was standing beside her, said softly, "Can you go outside and wait for me for a while?"

Didn't ask why Lu Zhou asked him to go out and wait for a while, Vera nodded slightly, then turned and left the laboratory obediently.

Facing the empty laboratory, Lu Zhou took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes.

"……system."

As usual, he softly called the system in his heart, and then Lu Zhou opened his eyes.

However, the moment he opened his eyes, he froze there.

The pure white space is gone.

Instead, there was a vast expanse of starry sky.

Distant rays of light shone in his eyes little by little, and even the floor under his feet was dyed the color of the Milky Way.

"……This is where?"

Staring blankly at all this, Lu Zhou took two steps forward, trying to find the console located in the center of the system space.

To his bewilderment, however, the console seemed to disappear without a trace. And this originally bounded space has also changed from bounded to unbounded. No matter how he moves forward, he can't touch the invisible wall.

Just when Lu Zhou felt a little uneasy in his heart, and was about to leave this space, a familiar voice floated from the darkness.

"It's beyond my expectation. According to our calculations, our second meeting should be 10 centuries later... I didn't expect you to advance this day by 900 years."

Looking in the direction where the voice came from, Lu Zhou tried his best to focus his eyes, and finally managed to see a translucent outline from the deep and endless darkness with the light of the starry sky.

Recalling the scene of the last meeting, Lu Zhou tentatively asked in an uncertain tone.

"Are you... an observer?"

"Yes."

The translucent outline gradually became clear, like a mirror, becoming Lu Zhou himself.

The observer nodded slightly, smiled and continued.

"I'm glad we met again."
