Chapter 1,117 Seeds of the Future

Under the majestic brick city, an Audi A8 drove smoothly along the asphalt road and into the lush green campus.

On that solid marble monument, six characters with strong calligraphy were engraved - National University of Defense Technology.

As one of China's first batch of key construction universities for the military's "2110 Project", this university is dually led by the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Education. It is also a deputy military region-level establishment. Every year, it delivers thousands of students to the military and national defense units. Talent.

Looking at the stone monument outside the car window, the expression on Lu Wei's face was quite emotional.

This is his alma mater.

In his image, he hasn't been back here for a long time.

The car stopped at the entrance of a faculty and staff community. Judging from the peeling paint on the courtyard walls and the five-story building, this community had seen better days. After opening the car door and walking out, Lu Wei looked at the man wearing sunglasses following him and sighed.

"Do you need to follow me even here?"

The man wearing sunglasses shook his head.

"This is an instruction from your superiors. Just treat me as if I don't exist."

Lu Wei frowned, but didn't say anything. He turned and walked towards the community guard room.

Over twenty years, nothing has changed here.

He still vaguely remembered that when he was in college, he joined the school's astronomy club out of interest and would go to this community every now and then.

At that time, the astronomy club, like the astronomy major, was quite unpopular.

Not only are there very few members, they can't even apply for a decent activity room.

Naturally, the school will not allocate too much funding to a club that may be disbanded at any time. After the heat subsided in three minutes, most of the members who had filled out their applications to join the group gradually stopped participating in the activities, and even the director himself was busy with other things.

There is only one exception.

Even today, Lu Wei still remembers his old man's name.

Astronomy Club instructor, Professor Nie Changhai. The research direction is a branch of astronomy, a topic that is extremely unpopular—the theory of stellar system defense. Although it is in line with the characteristics of the National Defense University,

But let alone professors, many students sneered at this incomprehensible subject.

No matter how people at the time viewed him and his project, Lu Wei knew very well that he never cared about other people's opinions, but wholeheartedly regarded his project as his lifelong career.

If we had to choose an authoritative representative for the defense of extraterrestrial civilizations, perhaps he would be the only one with that qualification.

With this in mind, he walked to the guard's room at the entrance of the community. Lu Wei gently knocked on the window glass to wake up the dozing guard.

"Is Professor Nie Changhai still teaching?"

"What are you yelling about? I don't know how to call the academic staff..." Wiping the corner of his mouth, the thick-browed doorman was about to glare, but when his eyes met Lu Wei's, his aura was immediately suppressed and he even spoke The curse words he cursed fell silent.

After working as a guard for so many years, he has not developed any other skills, but he has become extremely proficient in the ability to read people.

If it's broken, I'm afraid it's some leader from above...

I secretly thought that something was wrong, and the guard smiled awkwardly.

However, Lu Wei did not share his understanding and just repeated it patiently.

"Is Professor Nie Changhai still teaching?"

The guard was stunned for a moment and quickly ran through the names of each professor in his mind, but he did not remember the name Nie Changhai. Thinking that he heard wrongly, he asked in a low voice.

"Which one?"

"Professor Nie." Lu Wei said.

The guard smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Sorry, I have been working for almost three years and I have never heard of a professor named Nie here. How about I call the academic affairs department for you?"

"That's it..." Lu Wei sighed, "No need."

Come to think of it, more than twenty years have passed, and even if he is still alive, he should be in his seventies by now.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, a cold female voice came from behind him.

"Are you looking for Professor Nie?"

After being stunned for a moment, Lu Wei turned around and looked at the young woman behind him.

She is not old, and her temperament does not look like an undergraduate. She must be a graduate student or doctorate at the National University of Science and Technology. From her face, Lu Wei saw some resemblance to an old friend, but he couldn't tell who the resemblance belonged to.

"Yes, are you?"

"I am his granddaughter, Nie Han. Do you have anything to do with Professor Nie?" Nie Han said.

"Are you Professor Nie's granddaughter?" A touch of joy appeared on Lu Wei's face, and he said with a smile, "I hope you can help me tell the old man that the student Lu Wei has something to ask for advice."

"Lu Wei?" Hearing this name, Nie Han's voice was filled with warmth, no longer as cold as before, "The old man always mentioned your name before his death and praised you as the teacher he taught in his life. The proudest student."

Lu Wei was stunned and looked at her in disbelief.

"In life?"

Nie Han nodded, said nothing, but lowered his eyebrows slightly.

The branches of the birch trees swayed gently and rustled in the wind.

Lu Wei's Adam's apple moved slightly, and many words surged in his throat, but because he couldn't find anyone to talk to, he finally turned into a long sigh.

"Yeah?"

Looking at the expression on Lu Wei's face, Nie Han couldn't bear it, so he said softly, "Although Professor Nie is no longer here, the relics in front of him are still in his study, and no one has touched them. If you are interested If so, I can take you there."

"Then I'll trouble you." Lu Wei nodded.

"Where, you are a hero of China." After a pause, Nie Han's face burst into a smile, and then said, "What's more, if what he learned during his lifetime can be used by others, I believe that the old man will also be able to Be relieved."

Following Nie Han, Lu Wei walked deeper into the faculty and staff community with the bodyguards behind him.

After walking through the tree-lined path and stepping onto the cement gray stairs, Nie Han took out the key, pushed open the security door, and walked into the house.

"This is it. Since the old man left, this room has been empty. Over there is his study. The old man doesn't like others to rummage through his things, so we kept the room as it is, except for each room. Cleaning is only done once at the end of the month." At this point, Nie Han's face showed a hint of apology, "Originally I was planning to clean it today, but before I had time, the dust inside might be a bit big now, how about you Let’s sit in the living room for a while first…”

"How embarrassing!" Lu Wei waved his hand quickly, took the broom from Nie Han's hand, and said without explanation, "It's embarrassing to say that Professor Nie has been dead for so long, but I, a student, didn't know until today This news, I didn’t even clean his grave once. Let me do the cleaning."

"How can this be done? You are a guest..."

"What kind of guest! I am his student!"

In the end, Nie Han couldn't stand Lu Wei's insistence and had to agree to his request.

Seeing Lu Wei holding a broom, the bodyguard following him hurriedly stepped forward, "I'm here to help you -"

"You wait at the door."

However, Lu Wei didn't appreciate it. He left these words and went into the house with cleaning tools.

With a sincere heart, Lu Wei spent half an hour sweeping away the last trace of dust in the study.

When he saw the brand-new study room and the rows of treasures saved by the elderly frugally on the bookshelf, he seemed to have returned to the summer more than twenty years ago, and he felt his eyes were slightly moist.

Wiping the corners of his eyes, Lu Wei walked to the desk and sat where the teacher once sat.

In his impression, whenever Professor Nie thought of something, he would record his thoughts on paper and regularly summarize them in a notebook that he carried with him. He had read that notebook before, but because the content was so sci-fi, he once regarded it as a novel without a plot.

Living up to his expectations, the note was still placed in the drawer on the left hand side.

Gently wiping away the dust on the cover page, Lu Wei turned the notes directly to the last page.

"...Only the universe, I can't give you any standard answer. The only thing I can do is to provide you with an idea and guide you to get inspiration."

Whispering those familiar words, Lu Wei closed the page of the book

His fingers gently brushed the yellowed cover, and he whispered to the old desk.

"Thank you." (To be continued.) Activate new URL
