The villa in the suburb of Jinling is in the study of Lu Zhou's family.

In a light blue holographic beam, a unique space station is suspended. The shape of space station hutianzhou is different from that of space station Atlantis. The shape of this space station is like a gyroscope whose tip is aimed at the center of the earth. On the outside side, there are four long and thick cantilevers, and the outside of the cantilevers is connected with an arc structure.

If the gap between the arc structures is ignored, the whole outermost structure looks like a closed circle.

At this moment, Lu zhouzheng, sitting in his study, is scrupulously staring at the three-dimensional composition suspended in the holographic beam, calculating what he is doing and carefully adjusting the parameters of each component.

Carrying coffee into the study, looking at the host who is concentrating on his work, AI asked curiously.

"Master, what is this? Hearing Xiaoai's curious inquiry, Lu Zhou replied casually.

"The space station, or rather, the head of the space elevator."

Before going to Beijing, he learned that the progress of the whole space elevator project was not as optimistic as Li Guangya said, and everything was under control.

After leaving the Institute of orbital design and research of the Pan Asian Academy of Sciences, he went to the East Asia Institute of heavy industry and aeronautical sciences one after another to learn about the work of the relevant units of the whole space elevator project, and finally came to a conclusion -

the problems encountered by East Asia electric power, and also in the giant enterprises and institutions of East Asia Institute of heavy industry and Pan Asian Academy of Sciences It is reflected in the fact that there is probably less interference from external factors, and the latter is far less rich than the former, which is slightly lighter in degree.

It seems that when the society develops to a certain extent, the trap of prosperity is almost inevitable.

When we just came to this era, Lu Zhou was also puzzled about the plan to reinforce the future. Why should we send the elites of various industries in the depression period of the 1950s to the distant future, and expect them to glow as "old antiques". But now, it seems that this plan is not so useless.

Although facts do prove that it is impossible to expect the future people to accept the management of ancient people, and whether it is power, knowledge or assets may shrink under the baptism of time, in a sense, the people who came from the reinforcement of that era do alleviate the impact of the prosperity trap to a certain extent.

Of course, although the situation is more serious than expected, there is no place for optimism.

At least the strong industrial capacity of East Asia heavy industry has opened up a new horizon for him, a scholar from the 21st century, as well as the accumulation of Engineering Research in orbital design research institute and Aerospace Research Institute, which has laid a considerable foundation for the realization of space elevator technology.

In contrast, his original idea of "being a shopkeeper and leaving the whole project to others" probably had to be abandoned.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that in ten or twenty years, the space elevator may not be able to see a shadow.

Just as the lander refocused its attention on the model in the holographic beam, it suddenly sneezed without warning.

"Who is thinking about me..."

Reaching out and rubbing his nose, Lu Zhou murmured a word in a low voice. Hearing this, AI, who was still standing beside him, immediately put in a word of interest.

"Of course it's AI! Only Xiaoai is thinking about the master all the time! (/ / / ω / /) "

" yes. "

He was used to playing tricks on AI. Lu Zhou casually replied, glanced at his inbox, and saw an unread email in it, so he took out his index finger and clicked on it.

Soon, light blue light particles changed, followed by a greeting card like email appeared in front of him.

Thank you for your trust and reward. This is a huge sum I was at a loss for a while, and it was only recently that I made up my mind how to use it. I plan to travel around the world with my apprentice. It will take about two months to come back. If you need any refitting during this period, I will entrust my friend to provide you with refitting service. ]

the attachment is a self portrait on the beach, although the land boat is not interested in the self portrait of men.

probably at the beginning of the year, he asked the boy named Han Ming to help himself, though make complaints about his reward by Xiaoai Tucao, some of them were too tall, but Lu promised not to go back on his promise.

Anyway, money is just a number that can't bring any surprises to him.

After reading the email, Lu Zhou threw it into the recycle bin, left the matter behind and focused on the model at hand again.

However, Xiaoai, who was standing by, showed envious eyes.

"It's so nice. AI also wants to travel around the world with his master. "I prefer to stay alone in a quiet place and study the problems that interest me more than going out for a trip."AI: "ah, but research can be done at any time.". (????) "

" it's true in theory Well, I just don't understand. Going to a place is just to see what it means. "

"But the master is going to leave here. Aren't he going to leave some memories? ('?')

the index finger on the holographic screen suddenly stops, the land boat that stops moving on the hand is silent for a while, and then looks at Xiaoai accidentally.

"How do you know?"

Frankly speaking, he did have such an idea more than once. In a sense, the last trip to Princeton was for a similar reason.

With the completion of the second generation of controlled fusion, lv10 is getting closer and closer to the whole discipline level, and he feels increasingly alienated from the real world.

It's not about generation gap, it's about something.

It's a kind of premonition that tells him that he will be led by fate to a very far place with endless time, and that's his final destination.

Xiaoai: "Xiaoai can't say clearly, but the master said a long time ago, would you like to go to tiancang five? And The second generation of controlled fusion is for this. "

Maybe I don't know what kind of Yan characters to use. In Xiaoai's pupil, there is no floating string this time.

Facing the hologram in his hand, the boat was silent for a long time, and suddenly said.

“…… If I was going to a far away place, would you come with me? "

AI: "of course! Whether the master is going to the center of the galaxy or the edge of the universe, AI will accompany him! (???)? "

although this is the expected answer, I still feel a little warm in my heart after hearing the boat.

With a smile on his face, Lu Zhou reached out and rubbed his hand on his head.

"Always follow me, but you can't be promoted to advanced AI."

Xiaoai: "hum, that's not good. (/ / / ω / / /)

also, the future is unpredictable.

All he can do is to grasp the present.

After finishing the calculation of the last parameter, looking at the holograph blueprint of the formed space station suspended in the palm of the hand, the corner of the mouth of the land boat held a smile.

It's done!
