The call was from Li Gaoliang.
A few days ago, Lu Zhou was thinking about finding an opportunity to make a phone call and say thank you to him, but he thought that Li Gaoliang might still be floating at sea on the cargo ship, so he put the matter aside for the time being.
It’s only been a week, yet he has already returned?
Lu Zhou asked as soon as the call was connected, “You’re already back?”
“The cargo ship had just passed the Bering Sea, but it was taken over by the navy. It is being towed to our port. We had nothing to do with it, so we came back.”
“As long as you’re safe.” Lu Zhou nodded with a smile and said, “I should really thank you for what happened.”
“Oh, don’t thank me. I’m just a soldier. Besides, I really want to say thank you. You gave me both of my legs. Without the nerve connection technique, I would have been discharged from the army. How many times should I thank you?”
“Okay then, I won’t say anything else. I will buy you some drinks. By the way, you guys are all okay? There are no casualties, right?”
Li Gaoliang suddenly laughed and said, “What casualties could there be? We have our equipment for a reason.
“Not to mention that the soldiers of our brigade have practiced thousands of times in the virtual reality system. The enemies were shocked as soon as we landed, and there was no way for them to fight back.”
Li Gaoliang talked to Lu Zhou vividly about the situation.
Even though there was still a big difference between the real battlefield and the feeling of playing FPS games in a virtual reality system, because of the exoskeletons and powerful rifles, the entire battle was simply one-sided.
Before he even had time to test all of his equipment, everything was already over.
“Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the serious thing.”
Li Gaoliang suddenly remembered something. He patted his forehead and said, “The person who attacked you has been found. It is a warlord active in East Africa, located at the border between Kenya and Somalia. Interpol has been following them for a long time. They immediately provided us with all the information after hearing that we intend to track them.”
Lu Zhou said, “What did I do to East African warlords?”
I’ve never even been to Africa.
“The people who are aiming at you are certainly not African warlords or pirates. They are also employed by someone else. If you are curious about the specifics, please ask Wang Peng. They are investigating. This is not our business. Of course, if we don’t make them pay a price, it will make us seem weak.”
When Lu Zhou heard the murderous tone in Li Gaoliang’s voice, he asked curiously, “You plan to attack them?”
Li Gaoliang said with a grin, “Sort of, even though we are not sending troops directly, we will definitely teach them a lesson. We will also get to test our army’s new weapon.”
Lu Zhou: “New weapon?”
Li Gaoliang: “It is not safe to say on the phone. If you are interested, come over tomorrow!”
The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study was mainly engaged in the research of theoretical science and civilian technology. Only a few high-secret research institutes were researching for the military industry. They were in cooperation with several other national defense research institutes.
For example, they worked on miniaturizing fusion batteries and installing them on aircraft carriers and submarines, as well as researching how to improve the combat effectiveness of air and space forces.
As for specific projects, Lu Zhou didn’t know much about it, nor was he involved.
He hadn’t heard anyone talk about the new weapon, so he couldn’t help but wonder what it was.
Because there were guests at home, Lu Zhou did not chat with Li Gaoliang for too long. He hung up the phone after some small talk.
When he put away the phone and returned to the living room, the two physics professors had finished their coffee and got up from the sofa. Professor Wei spoke first.
“It’s getting late, we won’t bother you anymore.”
Lu Zhou: “Aren’t you guys staying for dinner?”
Professor Wei shook his head and said, “No, just now… I just had some thoughts. I want to go back to the ILHCRC to verify them.”
Professor Dobrik also nodded.
“Me too.”
As Lu Zhou looked at the expressions on the faces of the two, he knew that his previous remarks probably had inspired them. Thus, he spoke with a smile.
“Then I wish you good luck. I hope to hear good news from you guys soon.”
Wei Hong nodded gratefully.
“Thank you! We will certainly not disappoint your expectations.”
Guiding promising young people was an enjoyable thing, especially when the guidance could produce tangible results.
For him, honor actually didn’t mean much.
Compared to personal achievements, he would rather see young people with potential continue to explore the peak of physics on the road he had previously paved.
Of course, young people didn’t mean scholars younger than him. It meant young physicists under the age of fifty. After all, finding a scholar who was as young and promising as him would be impossible.
On the other hand, since the gravitational anomaly of Z particles could become the key to reaching level 10 physics, Lu Zhou would be paying close attention to this research.
Even though it was still unclear whether the treasure behind it met the criteria of a “great achievement”, Lu Zhou had already seen a certain amount of potential.
What was gravity?
This was a century-old problem in physics.
The ultimate theory of unifying the four fundamental forces was currently stuck.
Perhaps the research by these two could bring some different ideas to the understanding of gravity in modern physics…
Lu Zhou sent the two to the door and bid farewell. After Lu Zhou watched the two people leave, he was about to go inside when he saw a silver car coming from the intersection.
The car lights flashed, and a beautiful figure soon stepped off the car.
Lu Zhou’s heart moved. He couldn’t look away.
She was very satisfied with the expression on her boyfriend’s face. She had a happy, proud, and somewhat shy smile.
Chen Yushan was embarrassed at being stared at. She cleared her throat and said, “Are you done looking?”
“Not yet!”
“Then… Do you miss me?”
“Yes!”
Wow…
What is this feeling!
Why is my boyfriend so gentle, smart, handsome…
And cute!
When Chen Yushan felt her earlobes warming up, she knew she was blushing.
Lu Zhou, who was standing at the door, was a little fazed. He didn’t know what he said that made her blush like this.
“Uh, are you okay?”
“Ah!”
Chen Yushan quickly closed the car door. She walked up to Lu Zhou and grabbed his sleeve before saying, “Stupid, Stupid… Let’s go inside.”
Lu Zhou: “…?!”
Lu Zhou was dragged into the house, but he still didn’t know why she was blushing…
