Chapter 1600: Installation Complete!

The LSPM forum exploded.

Not the kind of explosion in the physical sense, but an explosion in terms of traffic.

Whether it was people joking around, or people that really wanted to travel outside the solar system, everyone swarmed into the forum.

At the same time, a certain person’s mentality exploded…

Looking at the interview in the news, Li Guangya rubbed his eyebrows. He looked like he had a migraine.

He didn’t expect that the idea he had come up with out of “good intentions” would cause a series of chain reactions.

Not only did this guy not want to stay, but because of a small note from a hundred years ago, he confirmed his decision of leaving Earth and even advertised outer space colonization in the news.

The most annoying thing was that many people really responded to him on the Internet…

After all, there was plenty of sheep in this day and age.

For some reason, Li Guangya suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

“Um… Did Chen Yushan really go to Tau Ceti?”

Hearing the director’s inquiry, Wei Song replied with an embarrassed expression, “This… I tried to investigate through the Security Bureau but did not find too many clues about her whereabouts.”

Li Guangya asked incredulously, “You searched for so long, and there is no news at all?”

Wei Song shook his head and said in a heavy voice, “I tried my best.”

His tight shoulders relaxed slightly, Li Guangya leaned back on the office chair. He did not put too much blame on his subordinate.

After all, that was 100 years ago.

This was like finding someone from WW1 in the 21st century; one might not be able to find them even if they went through the history books.

Not to mention that they were in the 22nd century.

With the amount of information in this era, even if there were some clues left, they would be submerged in the ocean of information.

“What about the Tau Ceti Colonial Fund? Have you contacted them?”

“Already contacted, but they don’t have any information…”

Wei Song shook his head lightly and continued, “The entire fund’s operating model and organizational structure were designed by Chen Yushan herself. The number of space launch projects it directly or indirectly funded reached 23,000 in the past century, of which 57 are space probes. The files are partly in China, partly in a neutral country abroad, and partly lost. If she deliberately concealed her whereabouts because she did not want to be disturbed, I am afraid that no one but herself can find her.”

“This woman…”

Li Guangya gritted his teeth, but he couldn’t do anything other than cursing in his heart.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

As if grabbing the last straw, Li Guangya stood up from the office chair, grabbed Wei Song’s shoulders, and spoke.

“What about that Vera? How’s their relationship going?”

“… To be honest, I feel that you may have done something superfluous.” Looking at the emotionally excited Mr. Chairman, Wei Song gave him a dazed look. He then gave him a wry smile and said, “He might… really have no feelings in that area.”

“Impossible.” Li Guangya said without hesitation, “If there are no feelings at all, that documentary—”

“It’s just a documentary.” Wei Song said with a sigh, “And in the original version, he only kissed her on the forehead.”

Sitting back on the office chair, Li Guangya fell into silence.

After a while, he said slowly, “It doesn’t matter… In any case, she is our last chance.

“I ask you to… No, you should do everything you can! Give her relationship assistance!”

Looking at the chairman, Wei Song didn’t know what to say for a while.

What kind of nonsense order is this?

Besides, I’m in my forties, I don’t understand the feelings of young people, let alone what the old popsicles think about relationships from a century ago.

Assistance?

It would be a blessing if I don’t mess it up.

While Wei Song was in a dilemma, Li Guangya suddenly continued to speak, “There’s one more thing.”

Wei Song sighed and spoke.

“Go ahead.”

“That faster than light technology… Do you think it’s reliable?”

Wei Song saw an unusual look in the eyes of the director.

Obviously, unlike the nonsense command just now, when he asked this sentence, his tone was serious.

Wei Song’s expression also became serious. He said cautiously after pondering for a while, “Um… I am not particularly sure. We may have to wait to consult experts in related fields before I can give you a confident answer.”

“There’s no need.”

Waving his hand, Li Guangya, who stood up from the office chair again, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office.

Looking at the street view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and the reflection on the glass, he ordered, “Prepare the car, I will go to the Academy of Sciences myself.”

Wei Song nodded.

“I’ll arrange it for you!”

…

At the same time.

In a mansion on the outskirts of Jinling, Lu Zhou, who was inside the self-built laboratory in the front yard, was standing next to a large number of parts that seemed to be piled up randomly. Through the holographic operation interface expanded in his hand, he controlled the professional equipment and was assembling the parts.

Some of the parts here were made for him through East Asia Heavy Industries; some were made by himself through an experimental 3D printer. It was obvious that he had devoted a lot of effort.

Vera stood by and watched curiously. She asked in a quiet voice, “Is this the Z particle oscillator?”

Lu Zhou, who was meticulously completing his work, couldn’t spare much energy to chat at this moment, so he simply responded with a “Yeah”.

Seeing that Lu Zhou was very busy, Vera was sensible and didn’t speak. Instead, she stood aside and watched quietly.

After about half an hour passed, Lu Zhou finally stopped.

Looking at the masterpiece displayed in front of him, his meticulous face finally stretched out a sincere smile.

It’s finally done!

“… It looks strange.” Vera leaned closer to the brass-colored device in front of him. Vera glanced at the smooth surface of the metal shell and said with a heart full of questions, “This shape is like an hourglass.”

“The two ends are the Z particle generators, which collide in the intersection area through spiral acceleration, resulting in a pair of Z particles with opposite spins that are entangled with each other. This stable frequency oscillation interferes with the curvature of spacetime, and a twisted spacetime is created near the entire device.”

Hearing these words, Vera quickly retracted her face, took two steps back, and said cautiously, “Then… isn’t it dangerous?”

“If it is used improperly, it may indeed be dangerous. After all, it is a space beyond three dimensions. Our entire universe is just a twisted and folded two-dimensional plane in that abstract space.” Lu Zhou looked at the nervous little girl and couldn’t bear to scare her anymore. He said in a joking tone, “Don’t worry too much. Without a controllable fusion reactor to power it, it won’t even power on.”

“I see…” Vera was slowly relieved. She looked at Lu Zhou. A little embarrassed and with a trace of worship in her eyes, she continued to ask in a low voice, “But such a dangerous device… How do you plan to test it?”

“The test is very simple.” Lu Zhou continued with a smile on his face, “We just have to get it into outer space, find a controllable fusion battery and a starship that is about to be scrapped, then we can verify our hypothesis!”
