Scholar’s Advanced Technological System - Chapter 1309

Chapter 1309 – Business Exchange

The half-hour interview ended quickly.

In the latter half of the interview, Lu Zhou said the same things as what Luo Wenxuan said at the press conference.

The only difference was that these words were said by him personally, so the persuasive power was much higher.

After some simple editing, the video of the interview was posted on the CTV channel during night time.

Lu Zhou sort of fulfilled Director Li?s request. As the chairman of the ILHCRC, he finally talked about the Z particle and hyperspace theory to the public.

Even though in Lu Zhou?s own opinion, he was only talking about some superficial and surface-level things, for those who were interested in the developments in Z particle research and hyperspace theory, they had been waiting a long time for this interview.

People were enthusiastically discussing how this experiment would affect the world if it succeeded.

And now, Lu Zhou, as the most authoritative scholar in this direction, finally stood up and gave a clear answer to this question.

Although this answer did not fully meet everyone?s expectations for hyperspace, it still satisfied many people?s expectations for the future.

On the other hand, at 1,600 Pennsylvania Avenue on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean…

Even though he was not a fan of Lu Zhou, a man in a suit and a pair of leather shoes inside an office ordered his assistant to contact the department immediately after the interview program was broadcast and to produce an English subtitled version of the interview.

After watching the half-hour interview with subtitles across the screen, the president couldn?t help but frown.

The adviser standing next to him reminded him.

?China has completely left us behind in aerospace technology.?

The president cursed in his heart and said, ?I know.?

Adviser: ?I?m not just talking about the usual problems… From this interview and some intelligence we collected before, we have reason to suspect that their choice of Mars as the experimental site is sending some kind of signal.?

The president looked at him and asked with a frown, ?Signal??

?Yes.? The advisor nodded and said, ?Since the establishment of the lunar transfer orbit, the rare minerals transported from the moon to the earth have made their lunar project profitable. They will definitely find a way to continue to expand this advantage. I don?t know if you have noticed, but during the Mars rescue operation, the position of Mars was optimal for landing. However, they did not land on Mars. Instead, they used a smaller spacecraft for the mission.?

The adviser paused for a moment and said, ?But now, Mars is not in the optimal landing position. In theory, it is much more difficult to get into orbit than it was a few years ago, but they still sent a spacecraft.

?Obviously, their investment in aerospace technology has never stopped!?

The look on the president?s face finally changed slightly.

After pondering for a while, he reached out and picked up the phone. He dialed his assistant and spoke without hesitating.

?Call Carson for me and ask him, as well as the person in charge of NASA?s Lunar Gateway program, to come to the White House.

?I have important things to discuss with him.?

…

Lu Zhou didn?t know how the White House was reacting to all this. He was far away in Jinling, whistling as he put on a suit. He then went downstairs and sat in the electric car parked at the front gate.

The celebration banquet for the success of the hyperspace theory experiment was planned to be on the third day after the experiment, which was tonight.

According to the previous plan, this celebration banquet was to be held in the evening after the experiment. The ILHCRC even booked a hotel and sent out invitations in advance.

However, because of Lu Zhou?s absence, the celebration banquet was postponed until now.

Lu Zhou was the protagonist, who created this milestone in the history of physics. There was no way they could celebrate without him.

After all, the hyperspace theory was his masterpiece.

Even though many other people had made great achievements in this direction, such as Professor Wei Hong?s Z particle gravitational fluctuation formula, in the face of this great discovery that changed physics, everything else seemed insignificant.

Purple Mountain restaurant.

This was the Jinling local hotel that had hosted many international banquets. After the renovation at the beginning of the year, the luxurious feeling of this hotel had risen to a whole new level.

Speaking of which, this hotel?s success could be attributed partly to Lu Zhou. Because Lu Zhou himself quite liked the environment here, all of his banquets that were held in Jinling were hosted at this hotel.

Because of this, this luxury hotel had become an international tourist spot.

In the banquet hall.

The guests in formal attire stood together in small groups and chatted with one another.

Among them were physicists from the ILHCRC, engineers from the launch site, people from both political and business circles, and guests that were invited here for other reasons.

Most of the people who stood in this banquet hall were important individuals. This was obvious from their conversations.

?You actually knew this would happen,? Dobrik said as he looked at Professor Wei Hong, who was standing by the long table. He continued, ? You knew about the possibility of changing the curvature of spacetime.?

When Professor Wei Hong showed him the conjecture on the whiteboard, his mind was filled with disapproval; he even wondered if Wei Hong had gone crazy.

However, after Professor Lu?s paper was published, his opinion instantly changed. He was baffled by the ingenuity of his colleague.

Even though Wei Hong only had a vague idea.

But being able to have the same idea as Professor Lu was already extremely impressive!

?We were only pondering, not even pondering, just guessing.? Wei Hong shrugged his shoulders and said, ?If a guess can be counted as a discovery, then Einstein won?t be the only person that discovered the theory of relativity.?

He had quite a good mindset.

It wasn?t that he didn?t envy Lu Zhou?s achievements, but he knew that even if he kept researching in this direction, he wouldn?t get any results.

After seeing Lu Zhou?s paper, he was certain of this.

Understanding the complex calculations was the best he could do; forget about creating an epoch-making theory by himself.

Wei Hong, who was talking with Dobrik and Luo Wenxuan, suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar face from the crowd.

The man walked through the crowd and walked to the three of them. He smiled and raised the champagne in his hand.

?Thank you, your formula helped a lot.?

Wei Hong looked a little flattered. He quickly raised the glass in his hand. Because he was a little nervous, he almost spilled the champagne in the glass.

?Oh no, if it weren?t for you, this problem would have never been solved!?

?Don?t say that, I don?t know everything.? Lu Zhou smiled and gently raised his glass. He said to Dobrik, ?Your intuition about data is impressive. This is all thanks to you for not treating the anomaly in the gravitational map as an accident. Otherwise, who knows when this problem could be solved.?

Professor Dobrik said respectfully, ?I didn?t do anything special, just a trivial matter in the grand scheme of things.?

?Every step leading to the top of the mountain is important and crucial. I believe that in the near future, when people learn about what happened, they will definitely learn your name.?

Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan.

However, before he could speak, Luo Wenxuan grinned and asked, ?How about me??

Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment. He smiled and said, ?We?re good friends, so let?s avoid talking about business… Come on, cheers.?

Luo Wenxuan suddenly became anxious.

?Don?t! This is also important to me!?

Lu Zhou thought for a while.

?I have nothing to say though.?

Luo Wenxuan was baffled.

?… I hope no one heard you say that.?

If someone else heard that and wrote it down.

It would be so embarrassing…
