"Sorry, it's really not my intention that things will turn out like this."

"I ... I didn't intend to publish that paper, but I didn't expect my students to move too fast. Yesterday I contacted 585 institutes and had withdrawn the paper, but it seemed to be useless."

The telephone was from Academician Tyumen Rui.

The voice was full of exhaustion and blame.

Lu Zhou could hear that it was not his original intention that things would turn out like this, and he did not expect that this academic debate would actually be used as a political tool by people with interest.

Looking at the old man in the video window, Lu Zhou said comfortably.

"I don't blame you on this matter. Even without your paper, you still have to come."

Just as there was no gunfire in Sarajevo, and a war would eventually break out, Lu Zhou did not think that the foundation hiding in the shadows would let itself go, and just watched the second-generation controllable fusion research project launch.

Whether it is from old grievances a century ago or conflicts of interest in the new century, they have been placed on the opposite side.

"Thank you, you understand my problem ..."

Glancing at Lu Zhou gratefully, Qiu Mingrui hesitated to tell the matter, but finally he couldn't hold back the thought of the man's last warning.

After all, he was nothing more than a scholar. Even as an academician, there is only one more layer of dazzling academic aura than ordinary people, and it is nothing at all in the face of the real power and the threat of death.

Not to mention, participating in their plot ...

"That's it, I have another important meeting ... if you have any new leads, call me again."

Taking a look at the time on the holographic window, Lu Zhou estimated that Li Guangya sitting opposite the conference table was impatient, so he ended the topic and hung up the phone.

Although there was something that the old man hadn't told himself, it wasn't really important anymore.

As early as the chaos in Guanghan City, he ordered Xiao Ai to focus on Academician Qiu Mingrui. Although this riot is not considered to be related to Academician Qiu, but after all, he is at the center of a whirlpool of public opinion, and it is a chess piece full of variables. People from that foundation will not contact him without reason.

In a sense, their behavior can also be regarded as a disguised protection.

Not surprisingly, the fish hiding in the dark should have started to bite.

Is it a big fish or a small fish, he just needs to wait patiently for the result ...

After making the call, Lu Zhou extended his index finger and swiped in the air, closing the holographic window.

Seeing that he was finally busy, Li Guangya, who was sitting across the conference table, asked casually.

"Who's calling?"

"Academician Autumn."

"That Tyumen Rui?"

"Yes."

As if there was no topic, the conversation between the two was interrupted abruptly.

And Lu Zhou stared at each other with big eyes, Li Guangya's expression on his face could not see anything, but his heart was very headache.

Regardless of whether to calm down the grievances of the residents of Guanghan City or correct their attitudes, as the chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, interviewing East Asia Power is something he must do.

However, what should he talk about when he comes over, and to be honest he doesn't know what to talk about.

To put it plainly, there is nothing to talk about this stuff.

Sitting opposite him was the greatest scholar a hundred years ago. If he had the ability to question him academically, he would not be a director.

Looking at the indifferent Lu Zhou, Li Guangya sighed and said gently.

"Since so many people are against you, shall we take down the space elevator first?"

Hearing this unexpected sentence, Lu Zhou froze slightly, and didn't understand the relationship for a while.

Calming, he said.

"The kind of space elevator ... There are too many things involved, and I have only at most 30% confidence. However, after a hundred years of research on the second-generation controllable fusion, the time is now ripe."

"The time is ripe and the time is ripe. The problem is that you have to think about what everyone wants," Li Guangya said with a headache. "At least in my opinion, the first generation of fusion technology is completely sufficient, even if it is not a problem for another 50 years. .Can we not solve the problem at hand, and then consider this optional or not option? "

"In my opinion, this is the problem at hand," Lu Zhou continued after a moment of silence. "The second-generation controllable fusion technology is the prerequisite for interstellar navigation. We can only rely on the first-generation controllable fusion technology in the solar system at most. Cruise, but if we have mastered the second-generation controllable fusion technology, we can even move our footprint into a world beyond a few light years. "

Li Guangya: "No discussion?"

Lu Zhou shook his head.

"It really doesn't work, and I don't think I'll think about individual methods, such as going to Lagrange Point Space Base or Mars, which has a large area of ​​wasteland, to do this experiment."

Although this is not a suitable choice, it is indeed a backup option that has been carefully considered by Lu Zhou, but these two backup options may be troublesome.

Moving a reactor to a space station is the least controversial, but it will increase reactor maintenance costs and safety risks. Tiangong City ’s unlimited liability system and centralized autonomous management may be more convenient than the Guanghan Special Economic Zone. Not to mention that risk is not a risk. Neither person dies on Mars can be considered news, but sturdy folk customs and flooded weapons may Unpredictable impact on experiment progress.

There is another threat from the thief ...

Unless it is a last resort, he does not want to send his researcher to this dangerous area.

"But if this is the case, the cost would be very high," Li Guangya said, touching his chin, thoughtfully. "I heard that the fuel of the second-generation fusion is helium three and deuterium. These two things are on the moon and Only on earth. "

Looking at Li Guangya, Lu Zhou suddenly didn't quite understand what he wanted to do.

"... Yes, and the energy requirements on Mars are not as huge as those of the Earth-Moon system. My original idea was to build a moon-based second-generation fusion reactor on the moon, and then use high-power laser transmission technology to transmit electricity to geosynchronous orbit. It will be transmitted to the earth ’s power grid to create an earth-moon energy corridor. "

After a pause, Lu Zhou shrugged and continued.

"But now it seems that my idea may indeed ignore the feelings of the residents of Guanghan City."

Li Guangya: "You really haven't considered it. In your eyes, only your research and papers. You forget that they are all living people! Of course, people will be afraid, and they will be incited because of fear, unless the disaster happens to someone else's On the head! If it were me, I wouldn't be so direct. For example, the space elevator, I will first think of a sounding past reason, and then try to arrange a mascot to let people believe me, or believe themselves It is faith to build this elevator, and the mission entrusted to them by the times! "

"Just like war, you have to give them the courage and honor to face death first, so that they won't be afraid of death. Or you can only use their whip to pump their farts. Stocks, forcing them to charge, but you think about this It's all the twenty-second century, is this possible? "

Lu Zhou frowned.

"mascot?"

"Cough ... I mean to set up a few brilliant examples, why don't you always listen to the point?" Li Guangya coughed, forcibly shifted the topic, and continued, "Let's make a deal, I'll help you, You also help me. Helping each other is good for us, we can all keep names in history. "

Does history leave a name ...

It feels like a good distant word.

Although he was not interested in leaving names in history, Lu Zhou had a slight interest in his proposal.

"What do you want me to help you with?"

"The space elevator," Li Guangya said, "I will help you settle things in Guanghan. In exchange, I hope you will be the general consultant for the scientific development of Pan-Asian cooperation and the chief designer of the space elevator! "

In other words, do you want to plan a platform for the space elevator?

Lu Zhou thought about it for about half a minute, and finally said.

"It can be, but I'm afraid I won't make it until the second-generation controlled fusion technology is complete."

Li Guangya asked with a frown.

"How long will this second-generation fusion reactor come out?"

Lu Zhou thought and answered.

"One year, maybe two years, my gut tells me that it is not far from the final result."

"Then set the deadline for one year," Li Guangya continued. "After one year, you will be the general consultant for scientific development of Pan-Asian cooperation! Whether you participate or not, I need your name!"

"The deal."

Although the cunning of the old fox was seen in this guy's eyes, Lu Zhou agreed.

Whether for the sake of name or for profit, the result is always good.

Speaking of selfishness means that the individual has selfishness, even himself.

I'm afraid only small children can go back and care about such insignificant things.

At this moment, Lu Zhou's watch on his left wrist suddenly flickered a little, and the phone prompt icon popped up.

After noticing this, Li Guangya's face suddenly showed a speechless expression and sighed.

"Why do you have so many calls?"

"Maybe it's because I'm busy ... I'll go out and pick it up."

"Can't pick up here just like before?"

"No, because this is not convenient."

After dropping this sentence, Lu Zhou got up and walked out of the conference room.

Looking at the empty conference room, Li Guangya leaned on the chair and waited impatiently for about two minutes.

Finally, the door opened again, and Lu Zhou came back from the outside.

Noticing the strange expression on Lu Zhou's face, Li Guangya's eyebrows raised a hint of curiosity and asked casually.

"what's up?"

Back to the chair and sitting down, Lu Zhou replied with a strange expression.

"Nothing, just a big fish hooked."

Moreover, it was a big fish that unexpected him ...
