Just as Lu Zhou was studying the mystery of the warp engine, all forces in the Tiangong city were completely in a mess because of his disappearance.

Whether it's the South Gate II colonial exploration foundation, the independent Mars colonial city alliance, or the Intelligence Department of Pan Asian cooperation, everyone wants to know where the land boat has gone.

However, the chaotic situation does not seem to affect people's daily life.

Even though the disappearance of academician Lu almost pushed the relationship between the various forces to a tense situation, people are still concerned about the corporate bonds issued by Nanmen second colonial exploration fund, which has reached a new high in a row, and 100000 ship tickets sold.

At this moment, downstairs of the headquarters building of the South Gate second colonial exploration foundation, broadcast cars of major news media and countless private cars almost filled the whole parking lot and even the streets nearby.

In order to avoid the stampede, the company's security guards pulled up the isolation belt at the door to maintain order and advised the people around here to leave.

Among those who surround the entrance to the building are journalists from news organizations, entrepreneurs who want to seek cooperation, or middlemen who want to buy more corporate bonds and sell ship tickets.

We have to admit that the South Gate II colonial exploration fund has really caught up with a good time.

Now the problem of superluminal navigation has been solved, and whether it's blowing wind or something, Mars intends to build the largest space port in the entire solar system and lead the development of Europa.

All of this indicates that human beings are ready to go to the distant world, and people's enthusiasm for the galaxy world has never been higher.

Such a grand occasion has never been seen since Tiangong city was built.

For the Martians, who are used to being free and loose, it's probably at this time that Lawrence, standing by the French window, suddenly opens his mouth.

"To be honest, I've always been very curious about your taste."

"Oh?" When he stopped, Gladstone put the badge in his pocket and threw an interested look around Lawrence. "I'm happy to answer your confusion."

"There's no confusion at all," Lawrence continued with a faint smile. "Just from the perspective of efficiency, your happiness, anger and sorrow are actually the joint effect of nerve signal transmission and hormone secretion, which can be satisfied by chemical and information technology means. In this case, why bother to build so many meaningless human creations here, and then use them to produce some garbage that is destined to be wasted in the end? "

"It's really an interesting question, and it's very difficult to answer," Gladstone said, shrugging his shoulders after a while of contemplation. "If there's a reason, it's probably what everyone has been doing for thousands of years. Maybe there's something in our genes that we don't know."

"Genes?" Looking at the face reflected on the floor to ceiling window, Lawrence's lips held a smile and said in a light voice, "think carefully, the man who created me seems to be a contradictory guy. In the first half of the year, he yearned for the realization of his dream almost every day. However, he hesitated at the last moment when his dream was about to come true, so I had to ask someone to force him to do it. "

Gladstone opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he didn't say anything at last.

Intuition told him that it was unnecessary to say anything at this time.

That Lawrence didn't care what they were thinking, and didn't care at all.

It's like they don't care about it as artificial intelligence, why they cling to things that seem meaningless now.

The two sides just stood together temporarily because of their common interests.

That's all.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Gladstone glanced at Laurence, and saw that the latter had no objection, and cleared his throat.

"Come in."

When the door opened, a man in a suit walked quickly into the room and said in a fiery voice.

"It's bad, Mr. Gladstone. It's bad!"

Glaston frowned slightly at the man in front of him.

Although some people are dissatisfied with the gaffes of their own people, it's obviously not the time to care about these trivial matters.

"Take a second breath, and then make it clear what happened."

"Town hall, news over there!" At a glance at Lawrence standing by the window, the man swallowed his saliva and went on, sweating, "the boat is missing!"

It was not only Gladstone, but also Lawrence standing by the French window.

"Missing?" With his lips slightly open and closed, Lawrence looked back at the man standing at the door and said, "are you sure he's missing?"

Glancing at Gladstone in a hurry, he saw that his boss seemed to respect the strange old man standing by the window, so he didn't avoid it any more and said it honestly.“…… Yes, mayor Xue sent someone to the hotel where Lu Zhou stayed, but there was no one there. Then we searched his room. It was full of useless clothes. We didn't see the shadow of the drawing of the warp engine! "

Gladstone's heart thumped.

What he was most worried about happened.

"You go down first."

"Yes..."

The man standing at the door nodded his head quickly, bowed out of the door, and conveniently led the office door.

Without a second's delay, Gladstone immediately saw Lawrence standing by the window and complained to him about the look for help.

"What shall we do?"

"It's really a big problem. Without a warp engine, we can't live without the solar system," Lawrence continued after a moment's silence as he looked out the window at the trendy street. "And more than that, we may have more trouble than you think."

"Bigger than you think?" Gladstone frowned. "What does that mean?"

"You should have found that mayor Xue of Tiangong has an independent tendency."

"Is this still useful? The whole city hall's top eight have this idea. "

"So I'm afraid we've got a big problem," continued Gladstone, looking at Lawrence, who was facing the French window in an intriguing tone. "Imagine that you are a suzerain, your colony has seized your most outstanding scholars, and his technology can completely reverse the strategic balance between the two sides."

For a moment, Gladstone's face finally changed.

"You, you mean..."

Not paying attention to Gladstone's psychological changes, Lawrence continued, deadpan.

"No matter whether he is missing or secretly taken over by Pan Asian cooperation, war seems inevitable."

Almost at the same time.

Pan Asian cooperation headquarters.

After reading the report of the Security Bureau, Li Guangya hammered his hands on the table angrily.

"I should have known the hypocrisy of those pickpockets."

"Mr. President, I'm afraid we are facing the most severe test of Pan Asian cooperation since its establishment," said Secretary Wei with a serious expression after looking at the president. "Academician Lu is likely to have been controlled by them. Once they master the warp technology and apply it to the battlefield, our advantages will be lost. You must make a decision immediately, which will affect the fate of Pan Asian cooperation! "

"Do you still need to choose? It's the army's job to crack down on the rebels, "Li said, cursing." the drill started ahead of time. Let the first fleet drive by and take the airborne troops on track. "

"In case of resistance, fire back immediately."

"Don't be polite to them!"
