The 2023 Chinese New Year happened earlier than normal.
The Chinese New Year’s holiday came near the end of January.
Chinese New Year’s Eve went by, and the Jin University physics research building already began to look deserted.
Academician Lu Shenjian sat in his office, reading the academic magazine in his hand while drinking a freshly brewed hot cup of tea.
After flipping through a few pages, he saw a headline.
[Chinese Scholars Are Leaving Shanghai, ILHCRC Shuts Down! The 750 GeV Characteristic Peak Was A Failure! Where Will The Future Of Physics Go?]
Academician Lu saw the headline and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“The media is really talking nonsense, it’s the holidays, of course we’re shut down.”
The old man sitting on the office sofa smiled.
“Old Lu, it’s the holidays, why worry, when are you going to retire?”
Sitting across from Academician Lu was Academician Liu Guangzhao from the Jin Ling University physics department. However, Academician Liu’s research area was not particle physics; it was condensed matter physics. His research was mainly focused on atomic clusters, low-dimensional quantum systems, and nanotechnology.
These two old professors were quite good friends. Even though their research area was different, they had always had a good friendship.
Old Lu smiled and waved his hand.
“Not yet, I can work for another 10 years.”
Academician Liu smiled and said, “Really? You’re getting old.”
Academician Lu smiled and said, “We’re only on this planet for a couple of decades, why should I waste any time? Don’t worry, I know what I can do.”
“I’m not worrying, you just look tired.” Academician Liu sighed and said, “Speaking of which, how is the 750 GeV project going? I heard it’s not looking great?”
Academician Lu: “We’ve only done four experiments, of course it doesn’t look good. Slow but steady wins the race. Don’t worry, I’m confident in this research project.”
“I’m just asking, I’m just a layman in the field of particle physics.” Academician Liu smiled and took a sip of tea before he said, “This tea is quite good, where did you get it?”
“I didn’t get it, my student gave it to me!” Academician Lu proudly said, “I can’t finish it myself, take some home if you want it. Just don’t take it all.”
“You old bugger, always showing off to me.” Old Liu put down the teacup and stood up. He sighed and said, “Sigh, if only I can produce a few outstanding students like you, I can retire early.”
Old Lu heard his friend complaining and burst into laughter.
“Haha! Forget about it, maybe in your afterlife!”

Inside a Zhongshan International mansion.
Lu Zhou sat in his study room. He looked at the pile of blueprints and draft papers, lost in his thought.
Chinese New Year had just gone by. Lu Zhou had yet to finish digesting the dumplings made by his mother when he started working again. It wasn’t that he didn’t want a break, but he had too many people relying on him. He had no time to waste.
Normally, regardless of what the research project was, he would try to wrap up the research project before the Chinese New Year’s holiday. He didn’t want his work to affect his life.
However, this year was rather unfortunate. The Lunar Hadron Collider took forever to complete, not to mention this year’s holidays came earlier than usual.
Fortunately, his family was sympathetic.
Even his father only made a small comment at the dinner table. Xiao Tong, on the other hand, was busy with her own academics, so she didn’t harass him.
Lu Zhou took a deep breath of the warm air and stood up from his chair. He walked to the window and pushed it open.
The icy cold wind blew in his face, cooling down his hot brain. It was almost like the wind was blowing away his fatigue and tiredness.
As Xiao Ai’s drone flew over to him, a line of text appeared on the display.
Xiao Ai: [Master, aren’t you cold? 0.0]
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “I’m not cold.”
In fact, it was getting too hot; it made him feel dizzy, to the point that it was difficult to concentrate.
Xiao Ai: [Then Master, Master, do you need Xiao Ai to make a cup of coffee? (๑•̀ᄇ•́)]
Lu Zhou nodded.
“Thanks.”
Xiao Ai: [Okay, coming right up! (*≧▽≦)]
Soon after, a delicious coffee aroma floated into the study room.
Lu Zhou took the coffee from Xiao Ai and took a sip. He felt himself energized as he closed the windows. He sat down at his desk and looked at the unfinished draft papers. He slowly fell into deep thought.
For some reason, he felt like his brain had cleared up greatly after the short break.
“Looks like I have to take breaks more often.”
Lu Zhou felt the warmth of the coffee in his hands. He smiled and grabbed a pen off his desk.
After pondering for a moment, he wrote on the paper.
He had been researching the 750 GeV characteristic peak for a while now. He had also made countless guesses and conjectures.
However, he didn’t feel the difficulty of this project until he finally activated the lunar collider.
The signal was like a ghost, floating in and out of the energy spectrum. He even began to wonder if there were an alien interfering with his experiment.
For some reason, a pen suddenly appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind.
Accurately speaking, it was the pen inside the Empire council building; the one being held tightly by Professor Lane.
Lu Zhou stopped writing and stared at the calculations on the page. He frowned and suddenly muttered to himself nonchalantly.
“… Maybe it’s related to the hyperspace?”
It cannot be observed in the 3-dimensional world… or only a part of it can be observed. Where is the part that can’t be observed?
If his guess was true, then time and space would have to be distorted, while the unobservable part of the signal would be hidden in an incomplete space.
It was like a new door had opened in his mind; his thoughts had never felt clearer.
The tip of his pen trembled as he felt a wave of excitement in his heart.
He had a feeling that…
This discovery was going to be even more amazing than he expected!
Time quickly passed by.
The sun outside the window gradually disappeared.
Lu Zhou put down his pen and looked at the pile of papers in front of him as he smirked.
“I finally finished it before the deadline.”
He looked at the calendar sitting on the right corner of his desk.
The second round of experiments was going to begin in two days.
A few hours ago, he was still anxious over running out of time.
But now, he was looking forward to the experiment more than ever before.
