"Recently, a vicious arson happened in the lion city of Malacca. The incident happened in a bar called the reef. According to the preliminary investigation of the police, the cause of the incident was a fight caused by a quarrel..."

In holographic television, the morning news is shown.

Judging from the scene of the mess and the serious faces of the policemen standing in front of the quarantine belt, it is clear that what happened here is not just arson.

Sitting at the dinner table in the boat, while focusing on dealing with the fried eggs on the plate, while occasionally taking time to see the news.

“…… It seems that the 22nd century is not so peaceful. "

It seems that we have finally found the time to insert the topic. Sitting at the opposite side of the table with her hands on her cheeks, AI immediately took a sentence with full energy.

"It doesn't matter! Little AI will protect the master! (??)? "

land boat:" thank you. "

AI: "Hey, you're welcome. But it's embarrassing to thank you so frankly. (/ / / ω / / /)

did not pay attention to the bytes in the pupils. After breakfast, Lu Zhou put the chopsticks on the dinner plate, picked up the paper towel and wiped his mouth.

"There will be some guests coming in a moment. Please change into a normal clothes Come on, you'd better stay in the next room with Ling. Don't come out. "

When it comes to half of the land boats, it seems that I have thought of something, but I changed my mind temporarily.

However, this change, but let the original excited little AI very hit the appearance, not only the pupil of the Yan text changed shape, even the color changed.

"Eh? Don't you introduce Xiaoai to the host's friends? W "

Lu Zhou sighed and said.

"When your head becomes a little bit normal, I'll think about it."

While talking, there was a knock at the door.

Lu Zhou gave AI a look of "please go to the bedroom for a while", then he got up and walked towards the porch.

He reached out and opened the door. Lu zhouzheng was ready to say hello. The man who came in through the threshold gave him a big bear hug.

By this action the whole of some of the circle, land boat Leng for a long time, just calm said.

"What are you doing..."

Holding the shoulder of Lu Zhou in both hands, Wang Peng looked at him excitedly, his Adam's Apple moved up and down, and after a long time, a word came out of his mouth.

"You It's still alive. "

"Otherwise?"

Many things were read out from the eyes of the old friend, and the boat was silent for a long time without knowing how to speak.

The last time they met was a century ago, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

At that time, he was still in the remains of Martian civilization. Not only did he not expect it, but also no one thought that it would be a hundred years for him to miss the sidetrack

"The gate is not a place for reminiscence. Let's talk about it later Did you come alone? "

"And an old acquaintance of yours."

Just as Lu Zhou wanted to ask who it was, he saw the familiar face and appeared at the door of his home.

"Director Li?"

The turbid pupils stared at him, gradually catching a mist of excitement and nostalgia. For a moment, he said in a choking voice.

"Long time no see..."

There is also a touch of nostalgia in my eyes.

Looking at this old acquaintance who didn't give himself much trouble, Lu Zhou said softly with some emotion.

"Yes..."

It's been a long time

……

Although it's the first time for all three people to meet each other, they have actually met each other once on the virtual community network. Last night, Li highlighted a discussion group for them in the virtual reality community. Even the time of meeting this morning was set at that time.

Put the beer bought from the convenience store beside the table, director Li, who sat down on the chair, looked at the house and said with a smile.

"I heard that you are still alive. Wang Peng and I came to visit you as soon as possible."

"Is this the case? I'm going to see you, too, but I didn't get in touch with Li Gaoliang until last night. "

"After all, Gao Liang is serving in the fleet now, and he doesn't have time to surf the Internet every day. After he sent me the address, I came here with Wang Peng... " Li bureau chief smiled and continued, "at that time, you may have gone out. It seems that the person who answered the door was a woman."

The boat coughed softly and corrected.

"It's a bionic man."

Bureau Chief Li's face showed a sudden expression and nodded with a smile.

"Oh, I see..."

Although he always felt that the old man had misunderstood him in all kinds of ways, Lu Zhou felt that it was better not to waste time on such a black problem, so he turned away from the topic."Say, how are you doing here?"

"It's very good. My retirement salary is still very high. There is no problem in my life. The only problem may be that I'm a bit idle, and I'm a restless person," director Li continued with a smile. "I'm worried about Wang Peng. I've been guiding him these days to try to find a new goal and start a new life in this era."

"Don't put me so useless," Wang Peng coughed softly. After a pause, he changed his serious tone and continued, "I've already thought about it. I'm going to the preparatory school last year."

Lu Zhou asked with concern.

"Are you in touch with the school?"

Wang Peng nodded his head.

"National Defense University of science and technology, Li Gaoliang helped me to contact him. He also graduated there at the beginning."

"National Defense University of science and technology?" "That's a good place," said Li. "It's said that Huangpu Military Academy in the 22nd century sent many excellent engineers and officers to the first fleet."

Lu Zhou: "I've always been curious. Why did you come to this era?"

"For two reasons," Wang Peng said after a moment's silence, " You should know something about it. I won't keep it from you. I went to the future with two missions, one is about the spirit of the universe foundation, the other is about the remains of Mars civilization. "

Hearing an unexpected name, Lu Zhou frowned slightly.

"The spirit of the universe foundation?"

He heard the name in his mind.

I just didn't expect to hear it again in a century.

"Well, back then That's the group that attacked you on the aurora borealis about a hundred years ago. After the dandelion campaign against warlords in Somalia, we found some clues about the cosmic spirit foundation. And that's probably the first time this organization has come to our intelligence community. "

Lu Zhou: "the first time I came into your sight That is to say, after that, you met them again? "

Wang Peng nodded and went on: "probably the second year after you left, the Shanghai Shanghai economic cooperation organization plans to hold a meeting in Manila to discuss the Pan Asian economic integration agreement, and then there was an explosion on the streets of Manila. We traced it to Mogadishu, Somalia, where we found some new clues about the cosmic spirit foundation and the Arctic light cruise three years ago. "

"Those people don't belong to any country or organization, the source of funds is quite mysterious, and their actions are very cautious. Until I went to sleep, I couldn't lock in the person behind them

Speaking of this, Wang Peng's expression suddenly brought a little emotion.

"But now think about it, it's all a hundred years ago."

A hundred years.

Enough to change too much.

It was as if he had never thought that meeting would ultimately change the future of Asia and the world. The so-called cosmic spirit foundation would not have thought of the actions they took to thwart the continued expansion of China's influence in Asia, which failed to stop the wheel of history for two seconds.

"Then, it's about the remains of Mars," Wang Peng said with a smile. "It was because of a paper that was widely spread in the academic world. The author of the paper was Professor Schulz, and you should know him as well."

The boat nodded.

"What did he write?"

"Some theoretical discussions on the four-dimensional space debris, from both mathematical and physical perspectives, explain the causes of the disaster on the remains of Mars that year. I only know so much about the specific situation. At that time, my superiors made the judgment that the technology buried in the remains of Mars, as well as the four-dimensional space debris, if discovered, might have an earth shaking impact on the current international situation. "

"So he hoped that I would go to the future one hundred years later to investigate the remains..."

At this point, Wang Peng's face with a trace of regret, continued.

"But when I got here, I found that the situation had completely changed. No one contacted me at all except the cryogenics foundation. Then I heard that the plan to reinforce the future was cancelled in the 1960s or 1970s If I had not heard that you were still alive the other day, I would have felt like I had run for nothing. "

Li said with a sigh.

"Objectively speaking, there are some problems in the plan of reinforcement in the future. It's better to leave the future problems to future people to solve by themselves. Later, I thought about it carefully for a long time. If I changed my position and thought about it, I'm afraid we can't accept the people who lived a hundred years ago to command us. "

"Let's not talk about this," Wang Peng sighed with some emotion, then looked at the boat and asked curiously. "You woke up there. When you were in the remains of Mars, did you find anything? "

"Remains of Martian civilization To be honest, there is nothing to dig. Although I have seen a lot of interesting things, most traces of their existence have been erased in billions of yearsThe eyes fell into memories, thinking of everything he saw in that dream, Lu Zhou sighed softly and continued, "to be honest, I can sit here and talk with you, thanks to the debris of four-dimensional space, I found a well preserved sleeping cabin in it."

Lu Zhou also doesn't know whether his explanation is qualified or not, but considering that many things are inconvenient to talk about, so it can only be explained in this way.

I don't know whether I can see his hard words or believe this set of words. Wang Peng didn't say anything more, just nodded his head to show his understanding.

Director Li, sitting next to him, was still curious and muttered.

"Fragments of four-dimensional space What exactly is that thing like? I'm curious. "

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou replied.

"Its projection in three-dimensional space is a transparent sphere, and it will be very difficult to describe its structure and physical properties unless you can understand some basic mathematical tools."

Director Li quickly coughed and said.

"Well, forget it, you don't think I asked."

Basic mathematical tools

He may not have taken this sentence seriously when it came out of other people's mouths.

But this sentence came from academician Lu's mouth, and he has automatically translated it into "a mathematical problem that ordinary people can't understand".

"Are you familiar with Li Guangya?"

"Li Guangya?" Hearing the name, director Li touched his chin and said, "is that the director of Pan Asian cooperation? After I woke up, I saw him once, but he didn't say anything more to me, just said hello and left. "

Lu Zhou: "he wants me to be the chief scientist of Pan Asian cooperation."

Director Li said with a surprised look at Lu Zhou.

"Such a big hat?"

Lu Zhou nodded and continued.

"Not only that, but he also wanted me to participate in his space elevator program."

Hearing this, director Li frowned and said after thinking for a moment.

"It's hard for me to say anything since the beginning of the 21st century. After all, it took several years for us to set up a mass projector. Space elevator In my understanding, this is already a science fiction concept. "

"But I suggest you be careful, Li Guangya. Maybe my old man can't keep up with the times. I can't figure out what he wants to do. "

"I didn't promise him right away," said Lu Zhou, looking at the worried director Li. "After all, this concept is a little too exaggerated for me. In contrast, I would like to know if the second generation controllable fusion technology has made progress, and there are other more basic researches, to what extent. "

Director Li asked with interest, "second generation controlled fusion? I used to hear from you all the time, but I feel that the cost of the first generation of controllable fusion is low enough. This second generation technology Is it really that important? "

"Very important. Maybe it's just my own idea, but at least in my opinion, it's much more important than sky elevator, "Lu Zhou continued, glancing out of the window at the sky." speaking of it, do you remember the reason why I proposed to set up Guanghan special economic zone? "

Director Li frowned and asked, "is it related to the second generation controlled fusion?"

The boat nodded.

"I can be very responsible to say that at least half of the reason is because of it."

The establishment of Guanghan special economic zone is mainly for the convenience of horse racing on the moon. And the places he circled on the map were basically areas with abundant helium resources.

If the fusion technology of the second generation breaks through, the layout he made a hundred years ago will become a huge legacy for the future generations of Chinese civilization, which is unimaginable to all.

It's like the oil fields that Arabs leave to their children.

It can even be asserted without exaggeration.

Those precious helium resources on the moon will be the key for them to step out of the solar system and into the distant world.

After he came to this era, the only thing he was not satisfied with was probably the real valuable treasure he left to the later generations. So far, no one has found the key to open it
