Chapter 1624

"Is this the Central Museum of Tiangong city?"

Looking at the arrow of navigation road sign in AR glasses, standing in front of a beautiful building, I looked at the portraits and biographies on the landing holographic screen suspended at the door.

John Griffin, born on January 13, 2071 in an engineer's family in London, North Sea alliance, was influenced by his family. In his early years, he worked as an employee of an airline company and an engineer of an asteroid belt mining station, and then resigned and devoted himself to painting. As a result of long-term garrison in the edge of the civilized world, its early painting style tends to dark wind.

At the beginning of the new century, he sold his studio in London and immigrated to Mars. He began his five-year life as a sojourner. The expansion of his vision changed his painting style greatly. Now he has become one of the leading painters of the contemporary Impressionism.

"Representative works include the dead universe, salvation, the dawn of the sun..."

Reading in a low voice, Lu Zhou subconsciously opened the search engine and searched one by one how much the paintings were worth.

Although it may be a bit of burning the zither and cooking the crane, it is probably the most intuitive way for a complete layman to understand the artistic value of a painting.

But just then, a strange voice came from behind him.

"Isn't it better to feel with your eyes than to search on the Internet?"

Looking back, Lu Zhou saw a man in his fifties standing there. He was wearing a beige vest, a pair of black framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, curly hair draped on his shoulders without any care, which seemed to be quite elegant and easy-going.

"Introduce yourself, John Griffin," nodded to the landing boat, and the man held out his right hand. "Nice to meet you, the greatest scholar in the solar system."

"I can't afford the title."

"You are as modest as the rumor," continued John Griffin, smiling, in a gentle tone. "I didn't see your name on the visitor list, and I didn't expect you to come. May I show you around here? "

Originally, Lu Zhou wanted to say that he didn't plan to come here at the beginning, but the meeting in the afternoon was too boring, and he thought that there were tickets, so he strolled here.

But looking at the sincere expression on the face of Mr. Griffin, Lu Zhou always felt that if he told the truth, it would be rude, so he nodded his head and accepted his kindness.

"Then please."

Griffin smiled and made a gesture of please.

"Please follow me."

Following Griffin's footsteps, Lu Zhou walked into the museum. And just before he stepped into the museum, the scene suddenly changed.

It was a boundless field.

The sky is fiery red, and the grassland is boundless blue. The mushrooms standing in the space are like towering trees, and a grand dome is opened with umbrella leaves.

The light from the ceiling, as if from a distant world, caresses the earth with a vague and dreamy feeling. The light particles with the faint blue light shuttle among the mushrooms, just like the living elves.

He was surprised to see the dreamlike world in front of him. Although he knew that it was the light and shadow projected by the holographic device, his face still showed an expression of surprise.

"Unbelievable, what is it?"

"My dream, or More than 20 years ago, when I was working in little star mining company, I was faced with the fantasies generated by the colorful starry sky, "Griffin continued with a light smile." in the past 20 years, I have been trying to use artistic techniques to turn that dream about the universe into reality. "

Lu Zhou: "what about the painting?"

"Put on your glasses and you can see it."

At Griffin's suggestion, Lu Zhou put on AR glasses. Almost at the moment when he put on his glasses, the world faded in an instant, showing his original face in his vision.

And that picture is hanging on the stand for the visiting guests to see.

"Very creative ideas..." Taking off his glasses, Lu Zhou took a look around him and said with admiration, "the world you see with your glasses is reality, but it's illusion to take off your glasses Although I can't describe this feeling from a professional point of view, your understanding of art really shocked me. "

"It's my pleasure to be sure of you," continued Griffin, with a slight smile. "I've always been curious to say how you, as a scholar, think about art."

Lu Zhou: "art is art, of course. Is there any other explanation?"

"It's a very interesting point of view, although I think so," Griffin continued, turning his eyes to the world in front of him. "Art is art, it's a kind of culture, but it's different from the culture in the broad sense. It is a philosophical understanding of human feelings of beauty, of self and universe and all other things existing in nature. The perceptual thinking that it needs is quite different from the rational thinking that science needs. "Lu Zhou took a look at him.

"I don't know if it's quite the same. Science really needs more reason. However, perceptual thinking, often in unexpected places, helps us to go further on the road of exploring the unknown. "

"Is that so? I'm glad to hear that you have such a high opinion of perceptual thinking. In fact, in addition to depicting dreams, I have been trying to integrate art and Science in order to create new art forms As you can see now, "said Professor Griffin, with a smile on his face, looking at the lush and fantastic forest ahead." maybe in some corner of the universe, there is such a place that can make all life feel the same beauty in an unprecedented form. "

Gaia world?

During the sleeping period, the land boat saw such a world.

"It sounds interesting."

"Right?" Griffin smiled softly and looked at the boat. "So I admire you in my heart. All I can do is imagine, but you can turn it into reality."

As he said this, he reached out his hand and shook the boat gently, politely expressing his respect and thanks.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit my exhibition. Have a happy day."

Lu Zhou also smiled and nodded his head and said softly.

"Have a good day, too."

At the same time, not far from the museum, Yan Gang, President of Tiangong bank with AR glasses, gently pushed the frame on the bridge of his lower nose.

After staring at the man in front for a long time, he began with hesitation.

"That is Academician Lu

"I didn't expect academician Lu to be interested in our alien colonization program." Glaston, standing next to him, had an unexpected look on his face and said with a thought-provoking smile, "it's quite unexpected."

I don't know if I heard these words. Yan Gang's face was thoughtful.

To be honest, as a prudent banker, although he is interested in high-quality investment projects, he doesn't like the glib guy next to him.

After all, East Asia heavy industry is the only enterprise that has mastered the warp speed technology. The only application is the Qinling of the first fleet. Whether the resources of Nanmen II are worth their colonial ships, even if they are, they may not be able to go.

But if academician Lu himself supports the plan

It's not impossible for the civil use of warp speed technology?

Once the market of trans light-year units becomes possible, nanmen2, the closest to the solar system, is undoubtedly the most promising galaxy to be included in the territory of human civilization.

I want to

The credit rating they gave to the Nanmen extragalactic colony fund was a bit too cautious indeed.

Gladstone continued, persuasively.

"100 billion credit points, if we take it to build a house, we can only get a piece of useless reinforced concrete. But if we invest in our dreams, we can get a whole new world. Believe me, as has been proved several times in history, the investment in the new world is definitely a business with no loss. "

"In this world, there is no business without loss. Remember the first bankrupt listed company in the world? They are doing business in the new world. "

After a pause, Yan Gang took a look at Gladstone, who had a disappointed expression on his face, and straightened his collar. Suddenly, it was a conversation again.

"But this time, I've decided to trust you."
