Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

January 14, 2126.

This is an absolutely historic moment for Earth's civilization.

On this special occasion, the International Symposium on Space Elevator Engineering, convened by the Pan-Asian Cooperation in Beijing, Tianjin-Hebei and Metropolitan Groups, officially came to a close in the form of a joint statement.

Witnessed by the representatives of the major global regional alliances, Pan-Asian Cooperation Council President Lee Guangya read out the guidelines for the use of the Built-in Space Elevator in a friendly and solemn manner and reaffirmed the diplomatic guidelines for peaceful coexistence of the Pan-Asian cooperation, which won full applause.

On the same day, more than a dozen engineering vessels departed from the Moon Palace space port, carrying construction materials from the Mars colony, and proceeded to the construction site of the Space Elevator Top Space Station, where they began welding the main structure of the station.

Legend has it that the building of wood is a bridge for communicating with the gods of heaven and earth, but also the gods of the Orient such as Volkswagen, Emperor and other gods of the heavens and earth, so this space station is given a mythical name -

That is, the Heavenly Heaven.

The day after the summit closed, the Office of the President of the Board of Governors at the Pan-Asian Cooperation Headquarters.

Looking into the office, President Li Guangya, proud of Chunfeng, stopped the work in his hand and threw a smile like Chunfeng's smile into the door, saying in a gentle tone.

“What did Master Lu say? Did he agree? ”

What the Academicians had done before going to Jinling had been asked to do in advance. After all, a major project such as the space elevator, especially a key position like the chief designer, is the only one with that power.

And in fact, before the Academician went to Jinling, he had signed the document appointing the Ark as the General Designer of the Space Elevator Project, so long as there was nothing wrong with the Ark, he could take office at any time.

In the interest of pan-Asian cooperation, Li Guangya, of course, hopes 120 percent that the ship will be able to provoke the beam of the entire space elevator project, rather than hang the title of general consultant and move away from the entire project team.

Especially after seeing the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences orbital institute react to this super-engineering hassle.

It was very clear to me what the chairman was thinking, but the Academician didn't say anything.

After all, that man's strength was seen by all, and he was seen by the jury at the time. He might be a little uncomfortable if someone else came to be the chief designer, but if it was the man, he would not only take it personally, but also orally.

The problem, however, is that everyone thinks so, except the Ark itself...

“… he refused. ”

“Really?” There were not many accidents on his face, but after a while of silence, Li Guangya finally sighed, "It's a shame... if he could lead the whole project, we could at least walk half the way. ”

Looking at Li Guangya's sorry expression on his face, the Academician said after a moment of hesitation.

“There's something… I don't know if I should say it. ”

“Something. ”

“In fact, he was in the lab when I visited him. And according to his own introduction, he seemed to be studying a technique related to hyperspace channels… if I recall correctly, it should be called a Z particle oscillator. ”

Speaking of which, the Graduate drew a comparison between his two hands, the shape of the strangely styled device. However, this comparison obviously does not make Li Guangya understand more clearly, but rather makes people more misty in the clouds.

“Hyperspace channel? What is that...”

“In fact, I don't know much about it either, but according to his own account, this device allows for warp and hyperbolic communication by opening a straight line between two points in the curved space--”

Before he finished, Li Guangya stood up from the chair with her hands on the table.

“Warp speed sailing?! Speed comms? Can you really do that? ”

Since entering the space age, communication distances have been a major challenge constraining the continued expansion of human space activities. In the case of the Mars colonies, the shortest straight distance between Tiangong and Shangjing is also 55 million kilometres, and the furthest is even 400 million. Even the shortest distance would take three minutes for a message to reach Mars from Earth.

If it is in a relatively distant position, the information is delayed longer.

It's only three minutes, but in this highly informative age, not to mention three minutes, even a second is enough for a lot of things to happen.

Society on Mars and society on Earth have been severely divided due to communication delays and communication barriers resulting from high communication costs. If Guangdong City and the other cities cooperating across Asia are only geographically discriminated against, then the colonies of Mars and cities on Earth can be described in two worlds -

The latter is the benchmark of a civilized society, which can only be characterized as an existence between civilization and barbarism, and where even the poorest towns on Earth feel more civilized than there, even if life there may be more scientific and technological.

It is self-evident how important it is to have a special communication technology that enables information exchange beyond the speed of light and reduces communications between Earth and Mars to less than a second.

Therefore, Li Guangya's face became so excited after hearing the news.

“I am not sure if I can achieve this, even if it is Master Lu himself, it seems that the attitude towards this research is just worth a try...” Mr. Ge sighed and continued, “In fact, it is his ideas that make me more concerned than the ones he is studying. ”

Li Guangya: “What's the idea? ”

“In my conversation with him, I felt like he might have a bit of a diamond horn sharp. ”

Returning to the office chair, Li Guangya frowned.

“… is it a matter of life? ”

“Kind of, but mostly probably because of the emotional aspect,” looked at Li Guangya with a slight frown wrinkle, Grace nodded her head and said with a complicated expression, “In his conversation, I could feel that he loved his fiancée very, very much… even after 100 years, he still missed her. ”

Li Guangya did not speak, but waited quietly for him to continue.

“… he also told me that he intended to build a starship that could fly out of the solar system to Skylark Five. This was his promise to his fiancée a hundred years ago, and now he intends to do so himself. I do not want to judge whether his ideas are realistic or not, but what I want to say is that we may have ignored his feelings all along when we asked him for them. ”

“If this knot cannot be broken, he may never be able to come out of the past. ”

In fact, although there is no appraisal on the face of it, in the subconscious, Gwezi has almost acquiesced, and he is working on a matter of Sky Night Tan.

At the current level of technology in human society, there is no basis for navigation across galaxies. Even the most advanced ships in trans-Asian cooperation, the furthest cruise distance is only to the edge of the Koiber belt.

And it's still a theoretical cruise distance, so far away that no one has really flown, let alone the need to fly there.

Not to mention Skylark Five, ten light years away.

Even if it did, it was a one-way ticket with no return.

“A hundred years...” After listening to the Graduate, Li Guangya pinched his eyebrows with some headache and didn't know what to say for a while. “I don't really understand this feeling. After so long... people have been gone. ”

Though life expectancy has increased today, very few people of that era have survived a hundred years. Ten thousand steps back, even if you've lived that long, you'll still be an old woman, right?

To be honest, the least he understands is the attitude of the "old popsicles” towards the relationship between men and women.

Just a fiancée.

Can you be so obsessed?

In the 22nd century, even marriage was a minority pleasure.

……

After the academician left, Li Guangya fell into trouble.

If it was just a matter of life, he could say without exaggeration that he could find a way to help him if the Ark came up with it. But this emotional thing, he's really broken.

He threw his gaze at Secretary Wei, who was sitting in the office, and Li Guangya pinched his eyebrows and asked casually.

“What do you want me to do about it? ”

His office secretary pondered for a while and said.

“From a personal perspective, the best way to heal emotional trauma is to start a new relationship. ”

“New feelings?” The index finger lit a little on the desk, Li Guangya sighed and said, "That means we have to find someone else? ”

“It has to be acknowledged that this is the most efficient approach. ”

Never thought I would meet the work of a matchmaker one day, Li Guangya's eyebrows couldn't help but pull.

But if he could add more "hooks” to the Ark in the world, maybe he'd give up that “unrealistic” idea.

Of course, hypervelocity communication is still attractive to him, it's just too dangerous to go to Tiankuo Five or something!

The only problem is…

Can an average woman really get into his eyes?

Don't say it's about cultivating feelings. I'm afraid it's not easy to find a common topic.

“I admit that your proposal is fascinating, but… are you sure there are women who can interest him? ”

Secretary Wei's face showed a confident smile.

“There are still people like that. ”

“Oh?” Li Guangya raised her eyebrows with interest, "Who? ”

“Do you remember that documentary by a major scholar? ”

“I think any Pan-Asian cooperating citizen would have seen it as a child… of course, are you talking about a new version of the rehearsal or the oldest version? ”

“It's all the same, the plot doesn't make any difference," said Secretary Wei, pausing for a moment. "If I remember correctly, it was mentioned in the documentary that he had a Ukrainian student named Vera Puyuy. ”

“… seems to have some impression,” he touched his chin, "asked Li Guangya.“ Is there a problem with that man? ”

“Out of interest in historical research, I have deliberately looked into her information. As one of the outstanding mathematicians of the early 21st century, she was awarded the Fields Prize and many other academic awards, and was one of the most proud students of Dean Lu. And there have been rumours that the relationship between the two may be more intimate than documented in history...”

“This is wild history after all," Li Guangya shrugged his shoulder, "Besides, it's been 22 centuries, no one has...”

“Quite the contrary, because of the advanced stage of lung cancer, she received cryosleep to seek treatment in the future. Even, according to untested literature, the Frozen Rights and Interests Protection Fund was founded partly to treat her. ”

“According to my investigation, not only has she not lifted the freeze at this moment, but she is also in the Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei urban groups! ”
