Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Facing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Lu Yongchang took a deep breath.

All right.

He did put the matter behind him.

"So, what are you doing in the lab now?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Su Yutong's eyes: "Academician Fang Xu asked me to be your assistant, but you were never in the laboratory, so I..."

Lu Yongchang: "..."

What a "good" deputy to him!

He silently made a note in his mind.

We have to find an opportunity for Fang Xu to do some hard work.

"Professor Lu?"

Su Yutong's voice interrupted Lu Yongchang's contemplation.

Lu Yongchang was silent for a while.

This is really a "hot potato".

According to his original temperament, when the solar crisis has not yet been resolved, he must stay away from such things.

But now... Professor Guan Hualiang was his mentor in his previous life. Lu Yongchang was a little embarrassed to disobey his "orders".

On the other hand, Lu Yongchang didn't know what to ask Su Yutong to do.

She is still far from reaching the level of her previous life.

After thinking about it, Lu Yongchang sighed slightly.

"Forget it...since Fang Xu said so, you can learn from me."

Later, Lu Yongchang gave her a general introduction to the conditions faced by human beings.

Before Su Yutong could recover from the shock, Lu Yongchang continued without mercy: "Let me tell you in advance that the current situation of mankind is very difficult."

"Our tasks are very heavy, and we basically don't have time to take care of you."

"Besides, I hope you won't disturb other researchers. Also, laboratory work can be tiring."

"If you can accept it, come with me."

After speaking, Lu Yongchang turned around and walked towards the office.

Looking at Lu Yongchang's retreating figure, the expression in Su Yutong's eyes gradually became complicated.

After a brief pause, she took steps to catch up with Lu Yongchang.

…

"Professor Lu!"

"Hello, Professor Lu!"

As Lu Yongchang walked into the laboratory, greetings came from the side continuously.

Su Yutong, who was following behind, had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, his status in the laboratory is so high!

"Yongchang?! You're really back!"

Fang Xu suddenly jumped out from the side: "Do you know that in order to complete that small fusion reactor, I didn't even have a full night's sleep!"

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about this nonsense later, it's an emergency now."

Lu Yongchang's hurried words made Fang Xu freeze on the spot: "What's wrong?"

"There is civilization on Proxima Centauri, and human coordinates have been exposed." Lu Yongchang said concisely and comprehensively, "Our research progress is still too slow!"

This short sentence contained too much information, which directly stunned Fang Xu.

"Hello?" Lu Yongchang frowned, "Can anyone still enter my office now?"

"Ah?" Fang Xu blinked his eyes, looking confused.

"After such a long time, won't my office be full of dust?" Lu Yongchang walked straight towards the office without stopping at all, "You didn't help me clean it, right?"

"Professor Lu, I have already cleaned the office."

Su Yutong's voice sounded behind him.

Lu Yongchang held the door handle for a moment, then pushed the door open.

Looking at the neat appearance inside, he nodded calmly: "Well done."

"Next, I need you to help me find some books about quantum computers."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yongchang added again: "There are also papers, the more the better."

Su Yutong nodded lightly, turned around and left without any nonsense.

"Quantum computer?" Fang Xu only recovered from the shock just now, "Why did you suddenly go to study quantum computers?"

"Also, what is the Proxima Centauri civilization you just mentioned?"

Since various information on the quantum computer had not yet been sent, Lu Yongchang took advantage of this gap to explain it to Fang Xu.

"incredible……"

After listening to the explanation, Fang Xu murmured to himself: "Are there so many civilizations in the universe?"

"Have you ever heard of the Fermi Paradox?" Lu Yongchang shrugged, "That's probably the truth."

"As for quantum computers, I'm going to try to study artificial intelligence."

"Humanity's current efficiency is still too low."

Fang Xu's eyes were a little complicated: "Artificial intelligence...can current humans really research it?"

"Who knows if you don't try it?" Lu Yongchang chuckled, "What's more, all I need is the most basic artificial intelligence."

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Professor Lu, there is a lot of information on quantum computers. Let me get you some first."

It was Su Yutong's voice.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Hearing Lu Yongchang's voice, Su Yutong gently opened the door and placed a tall stack of information on his desk.

"Thank you." Lu Yongchang nodded slightly and said softly, "By the way, Brother Xu, find an office for her."

"No, no!" Su Yutong waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just an assistant learning experience, I don't need an office!"

Fang Xu frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "That's the reason. She is just an assistant now. If you give her an office, it is inevitable that someone will gossip."

"That……"

Lv Yongchang was in a dilemma.

"Professor Lu, can I study in your office?" Su Yutong met Lu Yongchang's eyes firmly, "I promise I won't disturb you."

"Besides, you can ask me to do anything."

After a moment of silence, Lu Yongchang nodded silently.

...

After everything was arranged, Lu Yongchang buried his head in the materials in front of him.

Seeing Lu Yongchang frowning and immersed in learning, Su Yutong was slightly moved.

After a brief sigh, she also buried her head in learning.

Time waits for no one.

In order to catch up with Lu Yongchang, she must spend more energy to study.

Even if she can't have the same knowledge as him, she can at least not drag Lu Yongchang down!

Time passed by minute by minute, and the sky slowly darkened.

The wall clock slowly pointed to the number 12.

Lu Yongchang exhaled a breath of turbid air, raised his head and rubbed his eyes.

Seeing Su Yutong still studying hard, a look of relief quietly emerged in her eyes.

In her previous life, she also studied hard and kept catching up with him.

"Okay, it's almost time, go and rest."

Lu Yongchang said softly.

Su Yutong trembled slightly when she heard Lu Yongchang's voice.

She raised her slightly confused eyes and looked at Lu Yongchang.

Gradually, her sight became focused.

After turning her head to check the time, she shook her head slowly: "Professor Lu, I'm not sleepy yet."

Half an hour later.

Looking at Su Yutong sleeping on the table, Lu Yongchang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He stood up, took a blanket from the side and gently covered her.

Then, he sat back at the desk again.

However, this time he turned the book and wrote much more gently.
