The news these days has pushed Lu Zhou to the cusp.

Founder of the Alien Colony Fund and the most expensive Valentine's Day gift in history...... Whichever title is taken out on its own, it is full of gimmicks.

However, perhaps because he has long been accustomed to being famous, Lu Zhou himself does not have much feeling about the comments surrounding him and the 10 billion fund.

Unlike those "counterfeit products" that just hype up and take advantage of the opportunity to make money, he really intends to treat this matter as a long-term career.

Although 10 billion yuan is not a very large number, and it is not even possible to buy a building in Shangjing, let alone compare with such a world-class project, this money is not kept in the bank, but part of it is used to invest in value-added, and the other part is used to invest in potential high-growth aerospace enterprises, as well as to reward groups or individuals who have made outstanding research progress in the aerospace field.

Just as Professor Paul Krugman commented on him, although the name of the beneficiary of this fund is currently filled in by only one person, it has benefited far more than one person, but the entire community with a shared future for mankind.

While promoting the progress of space technology and moving towards the ultimate goal of interstellar colonization, as long as the annualized return can be maintained 2 points higher than inflation, this money will become a huge amount of money in a hundred years, as the start-up capital for the colonization of alien systems, invested in the wave of the new Age of Discovery, and take people with dreams of a new world to the unoccupied galaxy, and spread the fire of human civilization to the world 12 light-years away.

And this is also the future he described or promised to her on Valentine's Day.

On that star, which no one cares about, leave their own legends......

"It always feels like you're on your mind."

Looking at Lu Zhou, who was looking at him with concern on his face, Chen Yushan nodded with a heavy heart.

"A little, indeed."

"Can you tell me?"

"It's no secret...... I'm just, a little worried about Xiaotong," Chen Yushan, who supported her cheeks with her hands and her arms on her knees, sighed softly, "It's okay that she didn't get involved in any business before...... But now, she can't be exactly an outsider. Is it really okay to continue studying at Princeton? ”

This fear is not unreasonable, something bad happened many years ago.

Faced with the concerns of the senior sister, Lu Zhou thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"At this point, I can't say that Princeton is a special case, an ivory tower outside of a completely independent world...... However, Xiaotong's safety, in fact, there is no need to worry about it at all. ”

Apparently not satisfied with this answer.

Chen Yushan glanced at Lu Zhou a little dissatisfied, and said in a few words.

"That's your sister, can't you worry more about her as a big brother?"

As an only child, she has always hoped to have a younger sister or younger brother, but with her father on official business, it is obviously impossible to give birth. And when the second child is released, there will be no chance to regenerate.

Although she didn't think that one day in the future, Xiaotong would really become her sister, but she was still very, very happy about such a result.

It is precisely because of this that she is particularly worried about whether Xiaotong's side will encounter any danger.

However, looking at the look on Lu Zhou's face without the slightest nervousness, it always made her feel that she was worried about herself when she was there alone, so she was even more dissatisfied.

Reading the expression on Chen Yushan's face, Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"It's not that I, as a big brother, don't worry, but I really don't have anything to worry about."

"Why? Could it be that someone is in the dark?"

"It's not like that, and there's no need to," Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "The reason why I said don't worry is simply because it's not the same now as it was a few years ago." ”

The fusion power plant in Los Angeles has been completed, and the lifeblood of the entire western power system is not to say that it is completely controlled by East Asian Power, but at least China still has a lot of influence in the energy system of western North America.

Unless there is a diplomatic crisis that completely tears its face apart, the United States will not take that risk to take the initiative to provoke. Without a complete military conflict, the cost of electricity for the entire city of Los Angeles would have to rise by an order of magnitude if China withdrew the plant's technicians and cores.

It's not as simple as frugality.

Once many of the backward energy industries are eliminated, it is almost impossible to fully restore them to their previous levels, even if they are prepared for a crisis.

And if it turned into a military conflict, the core and technicians were forcibly detained......

The Pentagon and the White House will have to weigh whether they have the courage to face the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.

"A strong country is the greatest guarantee for the personal safety of our overseas compatriots, so I don't worry about any danger Xiaotong will encounter at all."

"She can do whatever she wants, as well as her academic activities, and she will be very, very safe wherever she is...... As a joke, especially in North America, the Yankees are even more worried than we are about something misleading. ”

Chen Yushan: "You have a big heart. ”

"It's not that I have a big heart, but I believe that strength is the greatest guarantee of peace," Lu Zhou smiled and said softly, "I am confident that I will maintain the current advantage and keep all the people who covet us calm, and this is enough." ”

Just then, the phone rang suddenly.

Lu Zhou glanced at the phone screen, thinking that it was Director Li calling, but he didn't expect that the caller ID was Senior Brother Luo's name, so he pressed the ground button and moved the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"It's me!"

"I know it's you, what's the matter?"

Luo Wenxuan: "...... Have you forgotten something important? ”

Lu Zhou: "......?" ”

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't speak, Luo Wenxuan knew that he had really guessed correctly, so he sighed and reminded.

"That 100-year academic conference on physics...... Didn't you say that it would be postponed until after the Lantern Festival? Now the Lantern Festival has passed ......"

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou instantly patted his head and remembered.

"Oh, I've been too busy lately, I've finished ......" Smiled embarrassedly, Lu Zhou coughed dryly and sat up from the sofa, "Don't worry, I'll come to Shanghai tomorrow." ”

"I guess you didn't even send out invitations to the major research institutes."

"It's okay, I'll have time to write it now."

“…… I'll write it," Luo Wenxuan said with a headache, "You just need to sign it." ”

"Okay, that's it."

Earlier, there is such a convenient way, do you still need to delay it until now?

After communicating the work arrangement, Lu Zhou hung up the phone, and then looked at the senior sister sitting opposite with some embarrassment.

"There's something at work that I'll have to deal with now."

"Need to go out?"

"That's not necessary, it's okay in the study."

Chen Yushan smiled and said, "Then go quickly, do you want something to drink?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Coffee is good...... Actually, I can do it myself. ”

"It's better for me to go about your business...... By the way, also give me a chance to take care of you. ”

Feeling a slight heat in his cheeks, before that feeling became obvious, Lu Zhou hurriedly threw down an "oh" and turned around, walking quickly in the direction of the second floor.

Seeing Lu Zhou's figure disappear at the corner of the stairs, Chen Yushan got up from the sofa with a sigh and walked to the kitchen with slippers.

However, just as she was about to step into the kitchen, a whining sound floated out of the kitchen, and then she saw a small and delicate drone, "holding" a cup of coffee over her head, chasing Lu Zhou's ass and flying upstairs.

I don't know if it's her delusion, but when the drone came out of the kitchen, she seemed to see a line of ...... from the LED screen.

Kaomoji?

【(*`*)】

Stunned as the drone disappeared into the corner of the stairs, Chen Yushan, who was on the door frame, was stunned for a long time before muttering something with bright eyes.

"Is it so smart......"

"That's amazing!"
