"Master!"

After going through some troubles, Lu Zhou finally moved Xiao Ai’s server to the Milky Way.

Xiao Ai could no longer contain the yearning in her heart. She immediately controlled her robot body and flew into Lu Zhou’s arms, hanging around Lu Zhou’s neck like a sloth.

"Oh my god, Xiao Ai misses you so much!"

"Hey, relax, I’m here with you now. Besides, I didn’t go anywhere far away… Fine, fine, I won’t leave you behind for so long in the future."

Lu Zhou gently patted the little head that was buried into his chest. After Lu Zhou calmed down the emotional Xiao Ai, she let go of his neck.

Although the robot body weighing about 30 kilograms was not heavy in a low-gravity environment, it was quite embarrassing to let others see this sight.

Especially since he could feel people staring at him from behind.

"Don’t always act like this for no reason." Vera’s tone was envious and jealous. She stared at Xiao Ai, who jumped off Lu Zhou’s neck, and whispered, "There are so many people around us. If you act like this, you will bother the professor."

Xiao Ai: "Eh? Really? Then… Master, when there is no one around, let’s…(///ω///)"

Vera: "…!"

"Stop it!" Lu Zhou said as he tapped the robot girl’s head. Xiao Ai’s face changed instantly, and she covered her forehead with a look of grievance. Lu Zhou couldn’t bear looking at her this way, so he sighed and said, "Just act a bit more normal, we are about to do business."

"Okay, Xiao Ai will wait a little longer…"

Lu Zhou: "…"

Wang Peng was standing aside. He looked at Lu Zhou, who was scolding Xiao Ai, then at the blonde girl who seemed to be jealous. Wang Peng’s expression was a little embarrassed, and he coughed slightly.

"Should we go somewhere else…?"

Zhong Ziyu next to him also nodded with the same weird expression on his face.

Lu Zhou showed an apologetic smile at the two. He turned around, cleared his throat, and spoke.

"Actually, I asked you guys to come here today because I have an important announcement."

Zhong Ziyu was stunned. He asked hesitantly, "What thing?"

"From today onwards, I will serve as the captain of the Milky Way, responsible for the first colonial expedition outside the solar system in the history of human civilization…" The two men’s expressions did not change. Lu Zhou was slightly surprised. He blinked and said embarrassedly, "Uh, why are you guys not surprised at all?"

"Because there have been rumors for a long time…" Zhong Ziyu sighed and said, "Anyone on the internet knows that Star Sky Technology bought Noah’s Ark and changed the destination from Alpha Centauri to Tau Ceti. Many people were discussing online whether you would go on the ship."

Seeing Wang Peng did not speak, he nodded silently.

However, judging from the expression on his face, he obviously didn’t want his old friend to go so far away.

With a helpless expression on his face, Lu Zhou shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay… It seems that next time when I make such a major decision, I should maintain a sense of mystery in advance so that I can have an impactful announcement."

"Maybe not, I think this is fine, at least people who care about you can mentally prepare themselves in advance." Zhong Ziyu sighed and continued, "To be honest, do you not feel… reluctance or hesitation in your heart?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Of course I do, but I don’t usually show it. Besides, I don’t think this is a parting. There is still a long way to go. One day we will meet at the end of the universe or some other corner of the world… Well, let’s save these words for the press conference."

Lu Zhou looked at Wang Peng, who had not spoken much, and said, "What about you? If there is anything you want to say to me, now is a good opportunity… Of course, you

Wang Peng was silent for a while. He then said with a sigh, "Actually, I don’t know what to say…"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Just say anything."

"Can you take me with you?"

"This… I’m afraid it won’t work," Lu Zhou said embarrassedly as he scratched the back of his head. "There is one thing I haven’t told you, but it is not appropriate to tell you now… You just need to know that you must stay on Earth. You can think of it as a life mission."

Wang Peng shook his head and said, "I have only one life mission, and that is to protect you. If you don’t need me to follow you, my life mission will be finished when you leave the solar system."

Lu Zhou: "That’s good too. You should take a good rest after working for so long. You should think more about yourself in the second half of your life."

"Your tone of speaking makes me a little uneasy." Zhong Ziyu coughed softly and continued, "It sounds like you’re bidding farewell to us. Just to make sure, you are going to Tau Ceti, a few light-years away. You’re not going millions of light-years away to Andromeda, right?"

"Haha, of course not! A few million light-years is too far. At the very least, it’s too far for me now, but maybe I’ll have a chance in the future."

For some reason, Zhong Ziyu, who heard this, did not feel relieved, and his eyelids began to twitch.

Chance to go in the future?

Does this guy really plan to go a few million light-years away?

If anyone else was saying this, he would think they were bragging or joking.

But the person in front of him was Academician Lu, so he could not treat this as a joke at all.

Since all of this guy’s past "jokes" had now become reality…

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Nothing." Zhong Ziyu, who stared at Lu Zhou for a long time, shook his head and answered truthfully, "I just want to ask when you plan to go to Andromeda."

Lu Zhou nearly choked on his own saliva. He coughed and spoke.

"I’m just saying casually, don’t take it seriously…"

Zhong Ziyu nodded honestly.

"I believe whatever you say… Is it convenient for you to disclose it? When will it be possible to build a warp drive that goes millions of light-years away."

Lu Zhou sighed and said, "Don’t think about this kind of thing, you will never see it in your lifetime."

One century?

Maybe two centuries?

He believed that there must be a shortcut that was more convenient than hyperspace channels in this universe, and he was confident that he would find it someday in the future…

But he was probably the only person who had time to find this shortcut.

"Okay, let’s not talk about Andromeda… In fact, there is another important thing. I originally planned to hold a press conference after you guys came back to Mars."

Zhong Ziyu asked, "What about now?"

Lu Zhou: "Now I plan to let you help me hold this press conference because I will stay on the Milky Way for a few days and also go to Ceres… Anyway, I have a lot of work to do."

Zhong Ziyu sighed and said, "Well… What is it about?"

"It’s about the research on the interplanetary quantum communication network." Lu Zhou looked at the two people standing in front of him, whose faces gradually filled with surprise. Lu Zhou had a faint smile on his face as he said, "Around yesterday, my research was completed."
