Scholar's Advanced Technological System-Chapter 1599 - Why Else Would I ResearChapter It?

“Professor Belur, in a science talk show a month ago, you thought that Academician Lu overestimated the importance of the Z particle gravitational wave equation. Is that true?”

“Professor Belur, in your opinion, what impact will the solution of the Z particle’s gravitational wave equation have on the physics community?”

“Professor Belur…”

Walking out of the class with a tablet, Professor Belur watched the reporters swarm in front of him; some students even joined in on the fun. His veins were bulging out of his forehead, and he finally couldn’t help but roared.

“Enough! This is a school, a place to spread knowledge—”

“But what we are asking about is knowledge.” A microphone was put in front of him. A female reporter with slightly curly hair said sincerely, “Academician Lu got rid of the problem of insufficient accuracy of the Z particle gravitational wave equation in two months. What is your opinion?”

Professor Belur’s face was blue and red.

Forcibly hiding the embarrassment on his face, he reached out his hand and pushed the microphone in front of him as well as the interview drone floating beside him away. He said in a rude tone, “I have no time for an interview now! As for the questions, I only have one sentence to tell you—no comment!”

After finally breaking out from the crowd, Professor Belur fled back to his office in embarrassment, opened the door, and walked in.

“Enough! What do these damn reporters think of this place! This is a campus, a place to study! Damn it!”

Looking at the professor losing his temper, the few students in the office looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

He sat on the office chair and lost his temper while staring at the coffee cup on the table. Only then did this young middle-aged man slowly calm his breath.

Professor Belur’s sight suddenly fell on the unfinished paper in the holographic screen, and he immediately clicked on it.

Then…

After a quick glance, his blood pressure and breathing rate began to rise again.

“How is this possible… There must be something wrong…”

Professor Belur stared at the paper in his hand. He almost wanted to insert the tip of his nose into the holographic screen, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find any loopholes.

The whole argumentation process was like flowing clouds and moving water. This towering fortress was built with numbers; there was not one line of calculation or even punctuation that was superfluous.

Just like that, half an hour went by.

Professor Belur turned the pages again and again. He finally dropped his index finger and gave up.

“Is this the strength of the one at the peak of the human mind…?”

He raised his right hand again. His fingertips swept across the holographic screen.

Seeing the scattered light particles, he slowly leaned back on the office chair and fell silent while looking at the ceiling.

After reading the paper several times, the emotion in his heart calmed down instead.

It was not shameful to lose to someone who was able to write such a paper.

Even if he was from a century ago.

The only thing that Professor Belur regretted now was that he was too cocky when he was interviewed in the studio.

This might become a dark history of his life.

The door of the office opened, and his assistant walked in from the outside while speaking in a business-like tone.

“Professor Belur… You have an interview with California TV in the afternoon—”

“Push it back for me.” Professor Belur said without hesitation, “Just say I’m sick.”

Assistant: “…?”

Students: “…”

…

In fact, the turbulent waves brewing in the heart of Professor Belur were not the only chaos in the physics community.

A scholar from 100 years ago solved a puzzle that they couldn’t complete in the past 100 years. This was indeed a huge blow to people’s self-confidence.

Because this seemed like Lu Zhou was saying that the world hadn’t made any progress in physics over the past 100 years.

Although it was not the case, and they had also made some achievements during this period, but in the face of this dazzling achievement, everything else seemed insignificant.

In short, it was not just the physics community that experienced turbulent waves. This excitement quickly spread from the physics community to the public.

Now that the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle was solved, and the hyperspace theory that left several large problems had all been solved by Academician Lu himself, the door to transcending space seemed to have been placed in front of everyone.

Faster than the speed of light…

For human society, which was close to the threshold of interstellar navigation, what could be more exciting than surpassing the speed of light?

Li Yongning, the chief reporter of Pan-Asia News and a celebrity loved by countless audiences, stood in front of Lu Zhou’s house and pressed the doorbell.

The door did not open.

However, after three rings, a holographic beam finally projected at the door.

Even though the facial expression of the projected portrait was obviously annoyed, it did not decrease Li Yongning’s enthusiasm.

After all, this was obviously not the time to struggle with politeness.

Without any pause, Li Yongning immediately showed a professional smile on his face as he seized the opportunity to speak.

“Hello, Academician Lu, I am very glad to meet you. I am Li Yongning, a reporter from Pan-Asia News. Regarding the rumors that you are studying faster than light technology, what are your comments? And the gravitational wave equation of Z particles may become a solution to the key of faster than light technology—”

“That’s right.” Lu Zhou asked the reporter blankly, “Otherwise, why would I be researching this stuff?”

Li Yongning was stunned.

He originally thought that Lu Zhou would either say something modest or use tactful ridicule to cover the topic; he didn’t expect that Lu Zhou would agree so directly.

Incredible!

Those rumors are true?!

Looking at the silent reporter, Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Any more questions?”

“You… I…”

Li Yongning’s mouth opened and closed, and he was still stunned by the previous surprise. Two seconds went by before he quickly adjusted his posture and raised a question.

“Excuse me, what made you suddenly interested in this proposition? We all know that you are now the chief designer of the space elevator… I mean, doesn’t this take up your time?”

“I’m the chief consultant.” Lu Zhou corrected and continued, “As for why I’m researching the speed of light, there is no special reason. If I had to give a reason, it is because I want to go somewhere.”

Li Yongning: “The place you want to go is…”

“Tau Ceti.”

Lu Zhou suddenly thought of something, so he looked at the camera hanging under the interview drone and continued, “Anyone wants to travel with me? If so, send a message to me on LSPM.”
