Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The moment the antimatter energy pile was charged, the energy science promotion mission was also completed.

As Lu Zhou’s energy science level reached level 10, he felt that he had taken a big step forward towards the realm of omniscience and omnipotence.

However, the system did not give him time to enjoy this feeling. Just after he finished receiving the mission reward, a new golden legendary mission card was issued to his inventory.

This time, it was information science.

The content of the mission was the quantum network built based on the new quantum communications technology described by Lu Zhou to Li Guangya.

Under the new internet framework, the virtual reality network and the traditional connection network would be integrated, and the fragmented information would be connected together and presented to people in a brand-new manner.

Whether it was people on Earth, people on Mars, or people living in the Kuiper Belt, or even more distant worlds in the future, they could travel in the same network without the need for scarce computing and storage resources.

To be honest, after listening to Lu Zhou’s description, Li Guangya almost forgot why he made this call.

Everyone knew that one of the main reasons why Tiangong City had a lot of historical problems was the communication barrier caused by the round-trip time from Mars to Earth.

With the breakthrough of stargate technology, the latter problem had now been solved, and the former problem had reached its prerequisites. Now all they needed was an engineer similar to Tim Berners-Lee to invent a brand new information exchange model that integrated all these resources to create a network, which would be thousands or even tens of thousands of times larger than the World Wide Web.

It was no exaggeration to say that if this could be achieved, its historical contribution would not be inferior to second-generation controllable nuclear fusion.

After completely leaving the matter of the antimatter energy pile aside, Li Guangya spoke.

“Then this is up to you! If you need resources, please be sure to tell me, I will help you immediately!”

After hearing these words, Lu Zhou smiled and spoke.

“If there are, I will tell you… I still have something to do, I have to go for now.”

Li Guangya nodded quickly and said with an eager smile, “No problem! Your time is precious, I won’t bother you!”

After saying goodbye, Li Guangya reached out his index finger and clicked on the video window, ending the call.

His excitement was still lingering when he leaned back on the office chair and took a few deep breaths to calm down.

But at this moment, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he murmured in a low voice, “Did I forget something…”

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn’t remember. In the end, he shook his head and put the strange feeling aside.

“Never mind…”

There were more important things to do.

He sat up from the office chair, adjusted the expression on his face, and opened the holographic panel again. He dialed the communications department.

The establishment of a network communication structure covering the entire solar system was coming soon, so he must spread this news as soon as possible.

Also, he needed to provide support for Academician Lu’s research.

Although Lu Zhou had not put forward specific requests, as the chairman of the board, he had to take some precautionary preparations…

While Li Guangya was busy with Lu Zhou’s new research project, the entire Pan-Asian Cooperation network completely exploded over a piece of news.

Academician Lu built an antimatter energy pile in orbit around Mars!

And this antimatter energy pile was successfully ignited!

When they saw the news, many people couldn’t even believe their eyes.

After all, around this time last year, the man had just completed the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion research.

How did he make the antimatter energy pile in less than a year?!

The center of the storm of public opinion was undoubtedly the LSPM forum.

Not only because this forum was the world’s largest academic exchange center, but also because it was the only place on the entire network where Lu Zhou would update his personal blog from time to time.

Although Lu Zhou himself did not make a response after the news was released, many people remembered the paper on the application of antimatter technology that appeared on the LSPM forum some time ago.

The paper mentioned that as a high-energy-density matter, antimatter could be used as a carrier for energy storage.

Looking back at it now, this antimatter energy pile was exactly the energy carrier mentioned in the paper.

The discussion section flooded with related posts.

Almost no post could stay on the homepage for more than three seconds. If no one commented on the post, it would be immediately replaced by a new post.

[I bet 10,000 credits that this anonymous paper was written by Academician Lu!]

[No way, he just published an article on technical demonstration and immediately produced the results, this is a bit too ridiculous?!]

[He is a man standing at the pinnacle of the human mind… I don’t think it’s ridiculous.]

[Maybe he invented antimatter technology long ago? This paper is just a heads-up, so the academic community isn’t too surprised.]

Compared to the heated discussion among the public, the reaction of the academic community was relatively calm.

But this kind of calmness was not a state of tranquility, they were in a state of daze and muddle.

Basically, many people were flabbergasted.

Especially the experts engaged in antimatter research and the engineers who were still designing antimatter collection methods. They did not know how to think of this news.

The laser shot from the ground to space was not fake.

The satellite that flickered under the shining of the laser light was not fake either.

Even without specific experimental data, relying solely on logical and theoretical calculations, they could make inferences with a confidence of more than 90% that…

That satellite was an antimatter energy pile.

Other than antimatter, no other material could have a high enough energy density to completely absorb and store the laser beam generated from fusion energy.

Bruno, an internationally renowned theoretical physicist, antimatter research expert, and lifelong researcher at the ILHCRC, made this assessment when he was interviewed by the “Pan Asia Science and Technology News”.

“I have never admired a person so much from the bottom of my heart. I have always admired the great and mysterious universe and the beautiful and strange physics realm.

“But now, I have to admit that man’s wisdom has exceeded my imagination. What surprised me was not antimatter, definitely not… It’s that while we are still thinking about how to obtain a few unique antimatter particles from the universe, he has already turned it into a container of energy in a way that, for the time being, I cannot understand.

“Rather than antimatter, his brain is the truest and greatest miracle in the history of human civilization. His brain will undoubtedly leave a mark in our history!”
