With the end of the second generation of controllable fusion project, the work on hand has come to an end, and the land and boat have finally come to an end.

Since he has been closed for almost half a year, he has not been with his old friends for a while.

Therefore, director Li called Li Gaoliang, who had just returned to the earth on a sabbatical, and took Wang Peng and Lu Zhou, went to the fish grill he often went to, opened a box of beer, and began to drink wine and vegetables.

"It's been a very fast day, another year in a flash."

"Yes."

"Come on, let's have a drink."

I had a drink with Lu Zhou. Director Li, whose face was red, looked at the white fog rising on the pot with his eyes straight. He did not know whether he was thinking about the past or the future.

Li Gaoliang and Wang Peng also touched a cup and said with a smile.

"I heard you've done a good job with the Security Bureau recently?"

"All right."

"Just fine?" Li Gaoliang said with a smile, "I've heard that there is an old ice stick that can fight very well in the Security Bureau. There is not an aggressive implant on it, but few people in the whole security bureau can compete."

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 the space elevator, can this thing really be made?"

Wang Peng and Li Gaoliang, coincidentally, turned their attention to the only one sitting here who knew this.

In fact, they are also very curious about it. You know, a century ago, space elevators were not even popular in science fiction movies.

"It should be possible in theory," continued the lander after a moment's thinking. "Unlike the second generation of controllable fusion, the space elevator is not facing a problem that is technically difficult to solve at this stage, but needs to think about how to realize the existing technology into a visible result."

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

As he said this, Li Bureau sighed a long time, and suddenly felt a little sad. "The development of the times is really getting faster and faster. In addition to this dish of grilled fish, there are more and more things that I, the old man, can't understand."

The atmosphere on the table suddenly became heavy.

Lu Zhou didn't feel anything, but Wang Peng and Li Gao Liang fell into silence.

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

In general, they are not willing to touch this topic

When we had enough to eat and drink, the party broke up.

And Wang Peng sat in the same car, the boat fasten the seat belt, looked at the bionic driver driving, then saw Wang Peng, asked with a smile.

"They've got a driver for you now?"

"It's just a bionic driver. It seems to be quite common in private cars."

Lu Zhou: "is there any progress in the cosmic spirit foundation case?"

"There's not much progress," Wang Peng said, shaking his head in a direct way, not too concerned about Lu Zhou. "Although we have also caught some small leaders and grass-roots personnel, a big fish like Sen Yongyuan has not been caught. At present, the clue is that they will hold regular meetings through the virtual reality network, and no one knows their respective identities in reality. "

Lu Zhou laughed and joked.

"Yes, it sounds more and more like a story between a superhero and a villain."

"If that's the case, popcorn blockbusters are usually the perfect ending, but not necessarily in reality."

Wang Peng has a helpless expression on his face. But at this time, he suddenly thought of something he had never asked for a long time, so he continued.

"When you came to San Francisco to see me, after all What has been done to me. "

Although he felt that his way of asking was very strange, he could not bear the curiosity in his heart.

Instead of answering the question directly, Lu Zhou just smiled and said, "does this body feel good?"

Wang Peng nodded.

"It's really good..."

"It's easy to use," Lu Zhou said with two laughs. "You don't need to care about other things. You just need to know that I won't hurt you."

Finally, Wang Peng didn't find out until the car stopped at the door of Lu Zhou's house. What did academician Lu do to make himself better that day?

Seeing the man's back disappear at the door, Wang Pengcai looks at the bionic driver holding the steering wheel and stands by, nods to him to send him home.

On the other side, Lu Zhou, who was back home, had just managed to cope with AI's passionate Feipu when he received a call from the Ministry of science and technology.

"There will be a seminar on space elevators at the Ministry of science and technology tomorrow. Do you think it's convenient for you to come here?"Thinking that there is something else to deal with at school tomorrow, asked Lu Zhou.

"Is it critical?"

"The key is not the key, but the main purpose is to locate the anchorage site and integrate the research resources of the space elevator project," said the Minister of science and technology with a smile. "After all, there are hundreds of research units involved in the whole project, and dozens of project teams. They may not know each other. If there is a problem in the communication link, it will easily lead to big trouble. "

As for this sentence, Lu Zhou agrees.

After all, he has been the chief designer for so many years, and he has seen a lot of Wulong caused by the lack of communication in the project team.

However, this kind of thing can not be solved in one or two meetings. It will take a long time to break in.

After thinking for a while, the boat said.

"I have something else to do tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't go."

The Minister of science and technology didn't insist, he said with a relaxed smile.

"It's OK. We weren't in a hurry. If you don't have time, you should deal with your own affairs first. I'll contact you when I need your help. "

The boat nodded its head.

"No problem. If there's any problem that can't be solved, please call me."

"Sure!" said the Minister of science and technology with a smile

……

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

Very coincidentally, when he arrived, his guide sun LAN just came out of the office with a bag of documents.

Seeing Lu Zhou, her eyes brightened and she said with a smile.

"Congratulations, you have completed all the preparatory courses. Here is your graduation certificate I was going to give it to you in the classroom. "

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

In the future, the low-carbon economy will go on to the end. Even the key things like graduation certificate have not been preserved in paper documents. Are they all electronic?

However, considering that both identity ID and bank card balance in this era have been digitized and stored in the cloud built by quantum Supercomputing Center, it is the most efficient and safe choice to do so.

"That is to say, I graduated?"

"Well..." With some regrets on her face, sun LAN nodded her head and said, "I believe that after this year's study, you have fully integrated into the current society, and naturally there is no need to continue to study preparatory courses."

"Thank you," Lu said, nodding his head. "It's been a hard time."

Some embarrassed smile, sun LAN continued.

"Where After all, it's my job. It's all I should do. "

"Work is work, but I can see if I've put my energy into it."

With a smile, Lu Zhou said goodbye and was about to turn around and walk to the elevator.

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

Looking at the Li Guangya who appears here, Lu Zhou is slightly stunned and asks.

"Why are you here?"

Although he came to the big guy in front of him, Li Guangya didn't expect to meet him so soon, so he coughed and said in an embarrassed tone.

"I We need your help. "

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

Although it is also expected that the space elevator project may not be as simple as this guy imagined, he was surprised that he ran into problems that could not be solved so quickly.

After all, the tone of voice that the Minister of science and technology called him last night is still a very flexible one.

People who don't know think that the space elevator has been built

"What is the problem? Is it convenient to say that. "

"Very inconvenient We may have more problems than we thought, "continued Li, with an embarrassed expression on his face," anyway, would you like to come? "
