Chapter 1252: Last Section

“So nice…”

Yu Fei, who was laying on a chair, took off his helmet. He looked at the deserted land outside the window and felt emotional.

About three days ago, while the joyful celebration show was happening at the Bird’s Nest, a celebration was also held at the Moon Palace and the lunar scientific research station.

They obviously couldn’t watch the show live. However, they could transform their consciousness into the virtual world through the virtual reality helmet and watch the amazing light show in VR.

Of course, even though the light show was just an illusion, their feelings were real.

The final scene of the space city shocked him deeply.

He saw an orbital train that traveled between space buildings and tourists walking inside space capsules. It was as if something was just planted in his heart, and it was slowly growing…

Even though three days had passed since the celebration show, he still couldn’t help but use every bit of his free time to sit in the virtual stadium and excitedly watch the light show.

He waited fifty-nine minutes, just for the final minute.

The final minute of the space city.

Yu Fei still reminisced about the feeling in his heart as he put the helmet aside. Suddenly, the office door opened, and Liang Junhui, the deputy head of the research station, walked in while wearing a spacesuit.

Liang Junhui saw the head of the research station sitting with his back facing him. He was about to speak but the chair turned around.

Yu Fei looked at the deputy head and quickly asked, “How is the construction going? Is it completed?”

Liang Junhui calmed down and nodded.

“It’s completed.”

Yu Fei was in disbelief. He asked, “Are you sure this is the last section?”

“Yes.” Liang Junhui nodded and said, “I confirmed with the construction team just now. This is the final phase.”

Yu Fei felt as if a weight of ten kilograms were just lifted off his shoulders. He sighed heavily out of relief, and a gratified smile gradually appeared on his face.

He suddenly sat upright in his chair and looked at the large screen hanging on the ceiling of the office. He then said seriously, “Contact the ground command center for me.

“I have to report this important matter personally!”

…

For Lu Zhou, there was no difference between the National Day and normal working days.

If it weren’t for the two large-scale events this year, he would have likely spent the entire seven-day National Day holiday in the laboratory.

In fact, for most researchers working on the front line of scientific research, this was how life was.

The earlier they finished their project, the earlier they got to rest.

Completing the project one day later meant increasing the risk of being overtaken by others.

A popular scientific research project was a race against time. The winner was not always the smartest, but instead, it was the fastest and most hard working.

This sounded inspirational.

And in some sense, it was.

However, average people didn’t know that some individuals didn’t have to work as hard.

For example, Lu Zhou.

The reason why he liked to spend time in the laboratory was not because he was worried that someone would reach the goal first. After all, no one could beat him in his own fields of research.

It was just that he didn’t know what else to do since he was a workaholic.

He was sitting in a hotel executive lounge, drinking coffee to pass time. He was holding a ILHCRC report in his hand.

There was an interesting headline on the first page of the report…

[About the Gravitational Anomaly in the Z Particle Experiment]

During the latest observation experiment of the Z particle from the Lunar Hadron Collider, the Z particle research team discovered interesting experimental data.

When the mass remained constant, the Z particles falling from high to low dimensions produced strange gravitational data. Rudy Dobrik, who was in charge of the experiment, used “goldfish bubbles” to describe the experimental results. He claimed that the Z particles traveling through the n-dimensional space seemed to breathe and spit out “bubbles”.

So far, the ILHCRC expert team had not been able to explain the cause of the gravitational anomaly. However, several interesting conjectures were published on arXiv.

More than half of them were based on the “void” theory proposed by Lu Zhou. Which was to attribute this gravitational disturbance to some kind of signal in the n+1 dimension.

However, Lu Zhou’s instincts told him that things might not be this simple.

There could be something more incredible behind this.

Like a shark biting a hook.

However, the key to the problem now was how to capture this shark without destroying the boat…

Lu Zhou was reading the documents for over an hour. Chen Yushan, who was sitting across from him, looked at Lu Zhou. She sighed and muttered, “Do you not have any hobbies outside of the laboratory?”

“For me, scientific research is the greatest pleasure in life.” Lu Zhou turned the page of the document in his hand. He said, “Is there anything more interesting than exploring the mysteries of the universe?”

“What about video games or something?”

Lu Zhou thought seriously for a while and said, “I used to be very interested, but… I never seem to play a game for more than half a year. The sense of accomplishment from scientific research makes other things feel insignificant.”

“Have you considered the possibility that this is actually a mental illness?”

“Illness in scientific research? I’m pretty happy.”

“Well… as long as you’re happy.” Chen Yushan sighed. She then looked up and said, “Actually, there are many other things worth pursuing in life other than scientific research.”

“Like what?”

Chen Yushan’s eyes shifted away as she said, “For example… Watching a movie with your partner, traveling, or something.”

Lu Zhou couldn’t help but chuckle.

Haha…

We’re both single.

What do you know about watching a movie with your partner?

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate.

Lu Zhou put down the document and stood up.

Chen Yushan looked at Lu Zhou and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Zhou took his phone out of his pocket and said, “I have to take this.”

“Oh, go ahead.”

Chen Yushan watched Lu Zhou walk outside. She grabbed the spoon and stirred her cold coffee. She suddenly sighed with a headache.

“So annoying…”

Sometimes, she didn’t know exactly what she expected for the relationship between her and Lu Zhou.

She knew that sometimes she was attracted by his drive. After all, hard work and passion were attractive.

But it wasn’t like…

She had a crush on Lu Zhou?

Suddenly, she heard footsteps. Lu Zhou was walking back to the executive lounge.

Chen Yushan threw away her feelings and looked at Lu Zhou. She saw a strange expression on his face.

She asked out of curiosity, “Did something good happen?”

“Something very good…”

Lu Zhou looked at Chen Yushan and took a deep breath. He spoke while trembling with excitement.

“The lunar mass driver!

“Our lunar mass driver!”

Chen Yushan instantly realized what was going on. Her eyes widened as she spoke in disbelief.

“It’s completed?!”

“Yes!” Lu Zhou nodded and said excitedly, “It’s completed!”
