Chapter 1632: fuse

While Lu Zhou was delving into the mystery of the speed engine, all the forces in Tiangong City were completely messed up because of his disappearance.
Whether it is the South Gate Second Colonial Exploration Foundation, or the Mars Colony Alliance, or the Pan-Asian Cooperation Intelligence Department, everyone wants to know where Lu Zhou went.
However, the chaotic situation does not seem to affect people's daily lives.
Even if the disappearance of Academician Lu has almost pushed the relationship between the forces of all parties to the point of tension, people are still concerned about the corporate bonds issued by the Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Fund, which has hit a new high continuously, and the 100,000 tickets already sold.
At this moment, downstairs of the South Gate Second Colonial Exploration Foundation headquarters building, broadcast vehicles and countless private cars of major news media almost filled the entire parking lot and the streets nearby.
In order to avoid the trampling incident, the company's security guards pulled up the isolation belt at the door to maintain order, and persuaded the people around here.
Among those who surrounded the entrance of the building, there were journalists from news agencies, entrepreneurs who wanted to seek cooperation, or middlemen who wanted to buy more corporate bonds and resell tickets.
I have to admit that the Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Fund really caught up with a good time.
Now that the problem of sailing beyond the speed of light has been solved, and whether it is a blower or indeed, Mars intends to build the largest space port in the entire solar system and lead the development of Europa.
All of this indicates that mankind is ready to go to a farther world, and people's enthusiasm for the outer galaxy world has also increased unprecedentedly.
Such a grand occasion, since Tiangong City was established, has not been a few times.
This is probably the first time for the Martians who have become accustomed to being free and casual, and let them coincide and spontaneously applaud the same thing.
The top of the building.
In the office of the general manager.
Lawrence, standing in the holographic beam, is overlooking the street view of Tiangong City through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office.
As the owner of this office, Gladstone sitting on the office chair is playing with the crafts in his hand. It was a golden badge with strange patterns on it. It's hard to tell which year this work was a work by looking at the workmanship alone, but judging from the actions he cherishes, this thing should have followed him for several years.
At this moment, Lawrence standing by the floor-to-ceiling window suddenly opened his mouth.
"To be honest, I have always been very curious about your taste."
"Oh?" Stopping his hand, Gladstone put the badge in his pocket and cast Lawrence's interest around him. "I'm happy to answer your confusion."
"It's not confusion," Lawrence continued with a faint smile. "Just from an efficiency point of view, your joys and sorrows are actually just the synergy of nerve signals and hormone secretion, and these are all It can be satisfied by means of chemistry and information technology. In this case, why bother to build so many meaningless artifacts here, and then use them to produce some waste that is destined to be wasted. "
"This is indeed an interesting question and very difficult to answer," Gladstone pondered for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders. "If you have to find a reason, it's probably that people have done it for thousands of years. , Maybe there is something hidden in our genes that we do n’t know very well. "
"Gene?" Looking at the face reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window, Lawrence's mouth picked up a smile and said in a lightly written voice, "Think carefully, the person who created me seems to be a contradictory guy. In his days, he was eager for his dream to be realized almost every day. However, he hesitated at the last moment when the dream was about to be realized, so that I had to let someone force him. "
Gladstone opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he finally didn't say anything.
Intuition tells him that anything said at this time is superfluous.
The Lawrence didn't care what they were thinking, and didn't care at all.
Just as they don't care about it as an artificial intelligence, why are they obsessed with it, but now they seem to have no meaning at all.
The two sides stood together temporarily because of their common interests.
That's all.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
Gladstone glanced at Lawrence and saw that the latter had no objection, so he cleared his throat and said.
"come in."
The door opened, and a man in a suit and leather walked quickly into the room, speaking with anxiety.
"It's not a big deal, Mr. Gladstone. It's a big deal!"
Looking at the man in front of him, Gladstone frowned slightly.
Although somewhat dissatisfied with the gaffes of his men, it is clearly not the time to care about these details.
"You take a breath, and then make it clear what happened."
"City Hall, news over there!" A quick glance at Lawrence standing by the window, the man swallowed and continued sweating, "Lu Zhou is missing!"
Hearing this, not only Gladstone, but also Lawrence, standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, froze.
"Missing?" The lips opened and closed slightly, and Lawrence turned back in disbelief, looking at the man standing at the door and saying, "Are you sure he is missing?"
He glanced at Gladstone in a hurry and saw that his boss seemed to be respectful to the strange old man standing by the window, so he no longer shy away, honestly said frankly.
"... Yes, Mayor Xue sent someone to the hotel where the Lu Zhou stayed, but there wasn't even a figure. Then we searched his room, which was all useless personal clothes, not at all. See the shadow of the drawing of the speed engine! "
Gladstone giggled.
What he was most worried about still happened.
"You go down first."
"Yes……"
The man standing at the door nodded quickly, exited the door respectfully, and smoothly took the office door.
Without even a second delay, Gladstone immediately saw Lawrence standing by the window and complained to him for help.
"what should we do?"
"This is really a big trouble. Without a curved engine, we can't live without the solar system," Lawrence said after looking at the street with the trend of the window. "More than that, our trouble may be What you think is bigger. "
"Greater than expected?" Gladstone frowned. "What does that mean?"
"You should have discovered that the Mayor Xue of Tiangong City has a tendency to be independent."
"Is it still necessary to find out? The top eight of the entire city hall has this idea."
"So I'm afraid we're in big trouble," looked down on the stunned Gladstone, Lawrence facing the floor-to-ceiling windows with an intriguing tone, and continued, "Imagine that you are the sovereign state, your colony detain Has become your most outstanding scholar, and the technology he masters can completely reverse the strategic balance between the two sides. "
In a moment, Gladstone's face finally changed.
"You, do you mean ..."
Without paying attention to Gladstone's psychological changes, Lawrence continued with a blank expression.
"Whether he is missing or secretly picked up by the Pan-Asian Cooperation ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The war seems to be inevitable."
Almost at the same time.
Pan-Asian Cooperation Headquarters.
After reading the report of the Security Bureau, Li Guangya thumped his hands on the table in anger.
"That group of guys who eat inside and out, I should have recognized their hypocritical faces long ago."
"Mr. Chairman, we may now be facing the most severe test of Pan-Asian cooperation since its inception," looking at the Chairman, Secretary Wei continued with a serious expression, "Academician Lu is likely to have been controlled by them. Once let them Having mastered the speed technology and applying it to the battlefield, our advantages will disappear. You must make a decision immediately, which will be related to the destiny of the entire Pan-Asian cooperation! "
"Is it still necessary to choose? It is the job of the army to suppress the rebels," Li Guangya said, scolding and scolding. "The military exercise started early, letting the First Fleet drive over and bring the orbital airborne troops."
"If you encounter resistance, fire immediately and fight back."
"No need to be polite to them!"
