Scholar's Advanced Technological System-Chapter 1607: Plan Towards Tau Ceti

Chapter 1607: Plan Towards Tau Ceti

In fact, as early as the beginning of this research, Lu Zhou was mentally prepared for the possible impact of the success of the experiment.

The only thing that made him feel a little surprised was that the enthusiasm of the people was a little bit beyond his expectation.

And the enthusiasm was in an unexpected manner…

On the day the press conference ended, his account on the LSPM forum was filled with private messages from all over the world. Most of them expressed interest in his plan to go to Tau Ceti and even asked how much the ticket was.

Obviously, with the breakthrough of faster than light technology, the ticket to the outside of the solar system was no longer a one-way ticket. Many people were interested in taking a trip to the world outside the solar system in their lifetime.

Even if they were not satisfied with the situation there, the warp travel technique would give them a second chance so that they would not lose their entire life.

In addition to those who expressed interest in the Tau Ceti, many people came to discuss business. Among them were East Asia Communications, which he founded, and some technologically innovative companies.

Many of these business ideas were a bit too optimistic; they saw the huge potential of opening up a “New World”.

In addition, there was also the part about academic discussions.

Lu Zhou could clearly feel from the questions in the private messages that his theory had left a shocking effect on the hearts of theoretical physicists and engineers in the aerospace field.

The emergence of warp drives would completely change the pattern of the aerospace industry in the future.

After the plasma engine replaced the chemical engine as the main mode of transportation for large spacecraft, the warp drive would become the interplanetary transportation method of the next era, allowing the propulsion technology of human civilization to advance to the next level!

In contrast, even the space elevator under construction had been overshadowed by this technology…

Mansion on the outskirts of Jinling.

As usual, Vera sat at the table and was enjoying a hearty breakfast. She watched the news shown on the holographic TV and learned some “common sense” about this era with the help of the news.

Just as she put a small piece of fried egg into her mouth, a familiar face suddenly appeared on the TV.

The moment she saw the face in the camera, a quiet smile appeared on her face. She looked in the direction of the sofa and spoke in a pleasant voice with a hint of excitement.

“Professor, you are in the news again.”

Lu Zhou, who was sitting on the sofa checking his email through his personal terminal, took a sip of coffee on the coffee table and spoke casually in a chatty tone.

“Good, I’m used to it.”

Even a hundred years ago, he had become accustomed to news and interviews.

As a man who had even started to collect tickets from those visiting his former residence, Lu Zhou wasn’t surprised to see his face everywhere.

With a smile on her face, Vera put down the cutlery on the plate after eating. She looked at Lu Zhou sitting on the sofa and continued to ask, “Speaking of which, when do you plan to leave?”

“Are you talking about Jin University? I’ve already asked for a holiday. I probably won’t go there for the next few days.” Lu Zhou thought about it for a while and continued, “The Z particle oscillation device still needs improvement. I just happened to have some very interesting ideas—”

“I mean Tau Ceti.” After blinking lightly, Vera looked at Lu Zhou and continued, “Now it only takes 10 years to go to Tau Ceti, right?”

It might not be 10 years.

“The time frame of the hyperspace channel cannot be calculated like this,” Lu Zhou said, shaking his head. “The specific time it takes depends on the channel we choose and the strength of the gravitational bond between the solar system and Tau Ceti. According to the formula I derived in hyperspace theory, it would take about 11.7 years for us to use the modified Qinling as a means of transportation.”

However, if he could choose a short enough channel, this number could also be compressed infinitely. It was even possible to compress it to within one year.

However, this was the trouble with the hyperspace theory.

Before opening the first channel, no one could determine how much time it would take.

“But, even if it’s 11.7 years, I think it’s pretty good.” Vera continued, “Using traditional methods, even the most advanced plasma engine will take tens of thousands of years.”

“Right, but there are still many things to consider.” Lu Zhou continued after a pause, “First, we have to build a large enough spacecraft, and then we have to consider the resources for hundreds of people. These things have to be done step by step… But it shouldn’t take much time. After all, the most difficult part has been solved by me.”

If he just went there to plant a flag or to look at the scenery on that planet for her, it wouldn’t be meaningful.

He still remembered his original promise, that he promised to give her a prosperous planet, not an uninhabited world.

But life was different.

People remembered.

Or in other words, only things like civilization could sing their stories forever…

Secretly looking at Lu Zhou’s face, Vera’s eyes showed a hint of envy. However, she didn’t say much. After saying “I will go with you”, she stopped talking.

God had given her a precious treasure.

To be able to meet again after a century was already a great fortune for her. As for other things, it was not important to her.

Besides, the time afterward belonged to her.

She had waited for a century in her dreams, so she was not in a hurry…

The next news appeared on the holographic screen soon.

Xiao Ai, wearing an apron, bounced out of the kitchen.

“Master, there are guests outside looking for you. (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧”

There was no need to ask at all. Lu Zhou had already guessed who was visiting him, so he spoke.

“I see, let him in.”

Xiao Ai: “Huh? Do you want to know who it is? (゚Д゚)”

Lu Zhou: “Besides a certain director, who else can it be?”

Xiao Ai: “How does master know…(•̀∀•́)”

Putting away the holographic screen in his hand, Lu Zhou spoke with a sigh.

“Okay, don’t let the guest wait outside for too long, let him in quickly.”
