Chapter 421: The Eighty-Year Agreement(1/2)
Mao Zhengzhi was not surprised at all about Lu Yongchang's words.
He even breathed a little relieved.
Is this familiar scene finally coming?!
"Then, professor, you are ready..."
Mao Zhengzhi asked curiously.
Lu Yongchang glanced at Mao Zhengzhi with a smile: "Have you forgotten the starship of the Lator civilization that I seized?"
"I have to study magnetic field shield technology."
Mao Zhengzhi's expression suddenly became sober: "I'm disturbing."
"Professor, you are busy with your business, so you won't have to worry about the biological laboratory."
Lu Yongchang was amused by Mao Zhengzhi's reaction.
He smiled and shook his head, and walked towards the laboratory gate, saying, "Remember to notify me before the human genetic modification program is implemented."
"Be careful, for human civilization, it is as important as magnetic field shield technology."
Looking at Lu Yongchang's back, Mao Zhengzhi nodded solemnly.
Immediately, he turned his head and looked at the scientific researchers who were "watching the show".
"Why are you standing there?"
"Why don't you prepare for the next experiment?"
"Who, go and check if there is any problem with the genetic genes of the mice."
“…”
...
"Professor, the agreed time has come."
Zero's virtual image suddenly appeared beside Lu Yongchang and reminded softly.
"Agreement? What agreement?" Lu Yongchang frowned and asked subconsciously.
"An agreed communication time with Proxima Centara human civilization."
Zero quickly opened a holographic projection: "It is October 13, 2381, Earth Calendar."
"It's exactly 80 years since the last communication."
"According to the agreement, the first communication will be initiated by the People's Republic of China."
"Of course, as agreed, you can postpone the communication after 20 years at your discretion." Zero reminded thoughtfully.
Looking at the recorded matters in the holographic projection, Lu Yongchang's eyes showed a sudden look.
I remembered it.
After resolving the Lator civilization, he and Proxima Centara human civilization also had a "technology exchange".
"How is the development of the social public care system in Proxima Centara?"
Lu Yongchang asked Ling with great interest: "I remember asking you to provide computing power support for them at that time?"
Zero's virtual image shook his head: "Professor, according to the orders at that time, I have no authority to observe the internal development of Proxima Centauri's human civilization."
"In the process of promoting the social public maintenance system, I just provided computing power support."
"Does the restrictions need to be unravelled and observe Proxima Centara human civilization?"
Lu Yongchang quickly waved his hand: "Forget it."
"I'll just ask myself."
Although he can allow Zero to peek into the development of Proxima Centara human civilization.
However, he had already made a promise at that time that as the chief scientist of the People's Federation, he would not have done such a thing as backfiring and corrupting his character.
"But." Zero added again, "Since forty years ago, I have not received a request for calculations for Proxima Centauri's human civilization."
Hearing this, Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows suddenly.
Forty years ago.
That is 2341.
At that time, the human fleet should have been still on the way.
As for why Zero didn't remind him, it was normal.
On the one hand, compared with the human fleet, the information priority of Proxima Centara human civilization is not high, and it can even be said to be at the bottom.
On the other hand, without clear help information, the disappearance of the calculation request is not necessarily a bad thing.
It is possible that Proxima Centaria humans have completed this social change?
"Okay, I understand." Lu Yongchang speeded up and walked towards his office.
A bad premonition arose in his heart.
...
"Zero, send a communication request to Proxima Centauri human civilization."
Lu Yongchang sat behind his desk and said in a deep voice.
Above the desk, the holographic projection quickly unfolds.
【Communication request is being sent…】
A few minutes later.
【Communication request failed】
"Professor, no answer." Zero's reminder came from the speakers beside him.
Lu Yongchang's face looked a little ugly again.
Could it be that Ren Feng and the others failed?
But even if the reform fails, it will not be impossible to avoid communication, right?
“Continue trying to connect.”
Lu Yongchang slowly closed his eyes, leaned against the back of the chair, and waited quietly.
In my mind, that line of faint words kept popping up.
【Communication request failed】
He sighed softly.
Eighty years, more than ten light years...
There are too many variables in the middle.
No one knows what happened to the other party in these eighty years!
This may be the ruthlessness of the universe.
"Ding Dong."
I don’t know how long it took, but a crisp reminder suddenly sounded in Lu Yongchang’s ears.
“The communication connection is successful.”
Lu Yongchang suddenly opened his eyes, with a little excitement in his eyes, and he looked straight at the holographic image ahead.
The scene that caught his eye made him stunned.
The background has not changed, and the people have not changed.
In the picture, there is still a pure white minimalist laboratory background, and there are still Ren Feng and Zhang Zhengqing.
What changed was the temperament of the two.
Eighty years ago, during the last time the news broke, Ren Feng and Zhang Zhengqing were full of vitality.
Just eighty years later, the two of them had white hair and a gloomy aura all over their bodies.
Lu Yongchang opened his mouth but said nothing.
"Professor Lv, we're meeting again."
Ren Feng smiled bitterly and said hello first.
"You, you..." Lu Yongchang's pupils trembled slightly, and he asked in a heavy tone, "What happened?"
"Why are you changing so much?"
"Is there something wrong with the technology for prolonging lifespan?"
At the first moment, Lu Yongchang thought of the improved immortal enzyme technology provided by Zhang Zhengqing.
Zhang Zhengqing hurriedly shook his head: "Professor, there is no problem with the Changsheng enzyme technology."
