A blob of purple-colored liquid.
The reason why it was a blob was that it was not lying quietly in a test tube like an ordinary liquid. It was almost like gas, suspending quietly in midair as it moved steadily under unknown forces.
Like a growing fetus.
Vera looked curiously at the test tube on the laboratory table as she asked, “Is this the psionic potion you talked about?”
Recently, Vera had been acting as Lu Zhou’s assistant, using the knowledge she learned from him to help him complete some of the calculations involved in the experiment.
For example, this unnamed mysterious potion was one of the products of their cooperation.
However, most of the work was done by Lu Zhou himself…
“Technically, it is a copy of it.” Lu Zhou continued after a pause, “Using the scanner on the spacecraft, I roughly analyzed its structure… Although it contains many components that cannot be fully discovered, through the methods of computational chemistry, I found some substitutes.”
Vera: “Can you communicate with the Void if you drink it?”
“Yes and no.” Lu Zhou gave an ambiguous answer. He looked at the confused expression on Vera’s face, paused for a moment, and said, “The Void is not something that comes and goes, the intersection between it and the universe as we know it is an accident in itself. Even if you find a stepping stone to establish contact with it, it does not mean that you can communicate with it smoothly. Only when the sample is large enough does it make up for the small probability.”
In fact, the answer given by General Reinhardt regarding the explanation of the psionic potion was quite vague.
Perhaps it was because he himself also came from a powerful materialistic civilization and was in conflict with the wonders of an idealistic civilization.
But in any case, since establishing contact with the Void was one of the solutions to the natural disaster given by The Observer, then there must be some truth in this.
Lu Zhou was going to take away the bottle of potion he obtained from the spacecraft, and this copy was the last gift he planned to leave for his hometown before departing.
With the curiosity in her eyes grew stronger, Vera raised her head to look at Lu Zhou. She then continued to ask, “What is the Void you have been talking about?”
Lu Zhou thought for a while and replied, “Everyone has their own different understanding. For example, someone once told me that it is the other side of the universe, whereas some people say that it is a container of our universe… My understanding is that it corresponds to death.”
Vera: “Death?”
“Yeah.” Lu Zhou nodded slightly, he said, “The universe is alive, and the Void is dead.”
Lu Zhou paused for a second and spoke.
“I intend to keep this potion, and I do not intend to give it to anyone… Its existence may not be a good thing for our civilization, at least in this stage.”
Vera: “It sounds complicated…”
“Complicated? It’s not that bad…” Lu Zhou smiled lightly. He sighed and said, “The more troublesome thing is that I must find someone who I can trust and who can guarantee their children and grandchildren can also keep this secret. Perhaps two or even three centuries later, when our civilization steadily stays on the path of materialism and science has penetrated deeper into society… Only by then will it be safe.”
He still remembered the physics crisis of the previous century.
Because of the loss of mass produced in the Lunar Hadron Collider experiment, countless physicists fell into a mental and physical dilemma. Later, he completed the Void theory and defined the vibrating Z particles, which finally solved the problem.
To be honest, this theory was quite advanced for Earth at that time.
Without him, he wasn’t sure if the researchers at the ILHCRC could solve this problem that threatened the stability of the entire physics community.
“Have you thought about the person to entrust?”
“Not yet.” Lu Zhou gently shook his head. “There are many people I can trust, but I can’t guarantee that their offspring can inherit their ideals.”
Vera thought for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she said, “Actually… I have an idea.”
After hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou asked immediately, “What idea?”
“You can take it to Tau Ceti and hide it, then leave clues on Earth… Just make sure that two or three centuries later, that person can find the hidden potion on Tau Ceti based on your clues, that should work, right?”
Lu Zhou’s eyes gradually lit up.
“So the key and the treasure chest are kept separately? It sounds interesting.”
Vera smiled shyly and said softly, “It’s like a treasure hunt.”
“We’ll do like you said.” Lu Zhou took the test tube from the test tube rack gently. He held it in his hand and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, he looked back at Vera as if he had thought of something, and he asked softly, “Can you go outside and wait for me for a while?”
Vera did not ask why Lu Zhou wanted her to go out and wait for a while, but she nodded, turned, and left the laboratory obediently.
Facing the empty laboratory, Lu Zhou took a deep breath. He then closed his eyes.
“System.”
Like usual, he called the system softly in his heart, then opened his eyes.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, he was stunned.
The pure white space was gone.
It was replaced by an endless dark sky filled with stars.
The distant rays of light shined in his eyes, and the floor under his feet was also painted with the lights of the Milky Way.
“Where is this?”
Lu Zhou looked at all of this in front of him. He took two steps forward, trying to find the console in the center of the system space.
What puzzled him, however, was that the console seemed to have disappeared. This space that originally had boundaries became unbounded. No matter how far he moved forward, he couldn’t feel an invisible wall.
Lu Zhou felt a feeling of unease in his heart. When he was about to leave this space, a familiar voice floated by.
“From our calculations, our second meeting should be 10 centuries later… I didn’t expect you to be early by 900 years.”
Lu Zhou looked in the direction that the sound came from. He tried his best to focus his gaze. Finally, he saw a translucent outline from the deep and endless starry sky.
Lu Zhou recalled the scene of their last meeting, and he asked tentatively in an uncertain tone, “Are you… The Observer?”
“Yeah.”
The translucent outline gradually became clearer, showing a mirror that reflected Lu Zhou’s own image.
The Observer nodded lightly, smiled, and continued, “We meet again.”
