Scholar's Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1274: Ridiculous Clue

Landing on the battlefield from a height of hundreds of kilometers and ending the battle in less than half a minute...

The combat effectiveness demonstrated by the Airborne Brigade completely shocked the British Royal Secret Service troops that arrived later, as well as the British Defense Department, and the audience who sat in front of the TV and heard the news through BBC.

This was the first battle for the orbital Airborne Brigade.

Although there had been various controversies on the internet regarding the true combat effectiveness of this force, such as on whether the soldiers who jumped from such a high place could maintain their normal combat effectiveness and whether their weapons could still fire normally...

Suddenly, all of the doubts had disappeared.

They were strong.

In fact, they were extremely strong...

People around the world were still digesting this new information. The moods of the passengers on the “Aurora Borealis” cruise ship had gradually returned to normal.

In the hallway, Prince Frederick picked up Princess Lilia as he spoke in a trembling tone.

“Oh my god, Lilia! Where did you go?”

Laying on her father’s shoulder, Lilia looked back at Lu Zhou and whispered in her father’s ear, “The scholar showed me a magic trick!”

Prince Frederick was stunned.

“Magic?”

“Yeah! A huge pirate ship.” Lilia said excitedly, making a gesture with both hands, “Smoke fell from the sky, then the pirate ship disappeared.”

“The pirate ship... The cargo ship that was following us? Well, that... We really have to thank him.” Prince Frederick obviously didn’t know what his daughter was talking about.

But in any case, she had returned to him safely.

In addition to Prince Frederick, Princess Sophia was also excited.

She rushed out of the room and snatched Princess Lilia from her husband. She hugged her and kissed her. She then released the little girl who was about to suffocate.

She put down Princess Lilia and quickly walked to Lu Zhou, grabbed his hand, and spoke gratefully.

“Academician Lu Zhou, I really don’t know how to thank you! Thank you so much!”

“Actually, you don’t need to thank me.” Lu Zhou was a little afraid that this lady would also hug him, so after taking a half step back, he said politely, “It wasn’t a big deal.”

Prince Frederick stepped forward and said with a serious expression, “No, we have to thank you. Of course, we will also thank those who rescued us from the pirates. I will thank you and your country on a more formal occasion.”

“Uh, it’s really fine...”

Lu Zhou knew that he couldn’t convince Sophia and Frederick otherwise, so he gave up.

Due to the sudden encounter with pirates, the total voyage of this ship was shortened by a full day.

Not only was it because of the change in the course and the acceleration, but also because the subsequent stops, including sightseeing in Malmö, were canceled.

Not just that, but the evening banquet was also canceled.

After experiencing so many things, the passengers on the ship were already exhausted physically and mentally. The only thing they wanted to do now was rest. They would discuss the rest tomorrow.

Everyone had a quiet meal in the cafeteria before returning to their rooms. The captain of the Royal Guards was reprimanding the guards on the issue of equipment theft. As for Wang Peng, he was also busy with the unknown corpses at the bottom of the ship.

Only one day left on the ship.

Lu Zhou didn’t stay on the deck for long. He returned to his room and quietly looked at the scanned electronic version of the notebook that Wang Peng had collected from that person.

When Lu Zhou read the text on the tablet line by line, his eyebrows gradually frowned.

“No wonder Wang Peng said he read this somewhere...”

It was the posthumous work of the late ILHCRC researcher, Professor Galette Miro. It was his paper on the theory of the “spirit of the universe”.

Of course, this was the modified version.

This version of the thesis was no longer a thesis; it was more like a religious document. It was hard to imagine that these mobs were so motivated and even had the determination to die.

The radical environmentalists protesting on the streets of London were nothing compared to this.

“In other words, a group of believers of the spirit of the universe planned this attack?

“But this is too... ridiculous.

“Or is it just that someone wants to divert our attention through this smoke bomb?”

There were two possibilities.

But if the latter scenario was real...

Would anyone think of blaming this attack on a new religious organization?

Maybe if the CIA was behind this...

Lu Zhou closed his tablet. He threw the tablet on the bedside table and rubbed his sore eyes.

“I hope I’m wrong...”

He felt like that experiment seemed to have revealed something incredible.

However, worrying about these things now didn’t make much sense.

Now that Wang Peng had reported the situation to the higher-level department, the People’s Liberation Army General Staff Department must have launched an investigation on this matter.

He should just quietly wait for the results of the investigation.

The Chinese intelligence department should be able to find something valuable along the way. If he still cared about this incident after this, he could find out what happened then.

Lu Zhou closed his eyes. He decided to go to bed early tonight.

Not long after he closed his eyes, the faint sound of a ghost surfaced in his mind.

“When you are staring at the Void, the Void is staring at you...”

...

The next morning was a sunny day.

Looking up from the deck, one could already see the outline of the harbor at Copenhagen.

After sitting at the dining table and eating the buffet breakfast, Lu Zhou put away the cloth on his lap and placed it back on the table. The chief mate standing by the railing spoke with a loud and enthusiastic voice to the guests.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to dock at the port of Copenhagen. We have encountered some... twists and turns along the way, but fortunately, everything is fine.

“On behalf of the crew of the Aurora Borealis, I would like to extend my sincerest greetings, and thank you all for this journey...”

Sporadic applause came from the deck, most of which were from the crew members themselves.

It was obvious that this explanation did not satisfy many passengers.

But in any case, this exciting journey was finally over.

After breakfast, the guests returned to their rooms to pack their luggage. After being sent off by all the crew members, they got off the cruise ship.

The cars of the Chinese Embassy in Copenhagen were already waiting at the harbor.

A bodyguard in a black suit stepped forward and opened the door for Lu Zhou. When he was about to get in the car, a group of reporters spotted him and immediately gathered around.

“Hello, I’m a reporter from The Sun. We heard that you saw Viking pirates at sea? Is that true?”

“It’s hard to say whether it was Viking pirates, but they were pirates... You should interview the embassies and consulates or the escort fleet patrolling this area for the specifics. I don’t know much about it.”

“Did they come here for you? Who do you think is behind this?”

“I don’t know either.”

After dealing with one reporter, before Lu Zhou could catch his breath, another microphone was stuffed in front of him.

“Hello, I am a reporter from The New York Times. I heard that you will speak on behalf of China at the Global Climate Summit. Is that true?”

“That is correct.”

The reporter asked, “But I heard that you came on a cruise ship.”

Lu Zhou immediately laughed and asked, “Are airplanes more environmentally friendly? What if I swam here?”

The reporter paused. Obviously, he didn’t expect Lu Zhou to throw the question back like this.

Who was interviewing who?

However, the reporter continued without showing weakness, “But... As an influential scholar, don’t you think you should set an example for environmental protection?”

Lu Zhou, who was annoyed, reached out and grabbed the microphone in his hand. He replied in a clear and polite tone, “Because I am a scholar, I don’t need to explain myself, I know what I’m doing.

“As for being an example, I think controllable fusion is a good example. By improving energy efficiency, we have reduced carbon emissions and heat emissions by at least 50%.

“More results will be shown at the Global Climate Summit. Whether you can see it or not, that is not my problem.

“Also, I noticed that your clothes are made from chemical fiber, and most of its raw materials came from petroleum.

“That’s all I have to say.”

After that, he threw the microphone back to the reporter. He then got in the car parked on the side of the road and drove away.
