Chapter 1454: Professor Lu “Resurrected from the Dead”


Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Just when Lu Zhou was feeling confused because of this sudden gain in wealth, what he didn’t know was that the whole world was shocked because of the news of his “resurrection from death”!


Jin Ling University.


When the news about Lu Zhou’s identification was first announced, most of the students were still in cla.s.s.


Standing on the podium, the gray-haired old professor explained an obscure theory in a warm tone while facing the holographic whiteboard, writing down the equations of hypers.p.a.ce theory.


However, his muddy pupils that were looking at the whiteboard suddenly shrank slightly, and he seemed to be dumbfounded.


There was no explanation, not even a word at all.


The old professor seemed to have seen a ghost. He didn’t even pay attention to the cla.s.s and rushed out of the cla.s.sroom excitedly.


Most of the students in the cla.s.sroom were confused. They looked at each other, not knowing what happened. They didn’t know if this cla.s.s was going to continue.


All kinds of news began to spread; the entire cla.s.sroom was a mess.


“What the h.e.l.l? Is this cla.s.s over?”


“F*ck, what’s going on? Professor Liu is usually always punctual, what happened today?”


“I know what’s going on! Did you watch the news? Lu Zhou! He really is alive!”


“What?! You mean Lu… Academician Lu?”


“Who else!”


“F*ck, f*ck, f*ck…!!!”


The pa.s.sengers of flight N-177 returned to Earth three days ago, and there was indeed a man who looked extremely like Lu Zhou from a hundred years ago. He faced the camera and reporters in front of the gangway and announced that he was still alive.


But most people just treated it as a joke after hearing the news.


Frozen dormancy technology had existed for 100 years.


For ordinary people, this technology wasn’t anything extraordinary.


Every once in a while, someone who looked exactly like a well-known person a few decades ago would pop up, demanding the country or their descendants to return their properties or privileges.


Most of these claims were eventually proved to be false. Only a small number of people actually went dormant through informal means at some point in the past and recovered their ident.i.ties with the help of officials from various countries.


Therefore, for most people in this era, pretending to be a frozen person to defraud property was a relatively common low-level deception. Multiple people had even pretended to be the same person.


At most, the person who was impersonated this time was relatively unique.


However, the situation had changed.


This was the official recognition from the Pan-Asian Cooperation!


Facing the reporters’ cameras, Chairman Li Guangya shook Lu Zhou’s hand in person and welcomed him home on behalf of the Pan-Asian people.


This kind of recognition from the official level was much more credible than someone’s personal claims!


As soon as the news was broadcast, it swept across the entire network like a tsunami.


On the entire virtual community network, whether it was an academic forum or a guild discussion board for a certain VRMMO game, almost everyone was discussing this matter.


The greatest scholar from a hundred years ago!


The founder of modern civilization!


A great man woke up from a deep sleep. Not only were the netizens shocked, everyone who knew him, studied his theories, and even studied him as a person was speechless.


If the impact of this news on ordinary people only remained at the level of a surprise and a reconstruction of history, then the impact on academia could be compared to a Category 12 hurricane.


Less than five minutes after the news was broadcast, on the LSPM academic forum, a series of topics such as “hypers.p.a.ce theory”, “extra dimensions”, “unified theory of algebraic geometry”, “unified field theory”, “computational materials”, etc, were all labeled with the tag “major research progress”.


This function was regarded as a major feature of the LSPM forum.


The forum server could monitor the discussion of a hot topic in major academic exchange communities around the world according to a special algorithm, so as to facilitate scholars engaged in research in this field. In this era of information explosion, they would never miss any important news.


Precisely because of this, almost all scholars or physics hobbyists who paid attention to this field, whether they followed the news or not, received a notification.


[On January 11, 2125, Academician Lu was “resurrected”.]


Although there were only a few words, the amount of information was so huge that people couldn’t ignore it.


As if announcing the return of an ancient emperor, those scholars who had graduated from universities, who read his papers and studied the research projects he left behind, turned mad because of this news.


Whether it was the area that Lu Zhou had researched or those areas that he had not researched…


Everyone was talking about the impact his return might have on the academic world.


On a well-known scientific program of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.


Academician w.a.n.g Defu of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences sat on a sofa in the studio.


After a few opening greetings, the host sitting opposite Academician w.a.n.g quickly raised a question that almost everyone wanted to know.


“How do you think Professor Lu’s sudden ‘resurrection’ will impact the academic world?”


Academician w.a.n.g Defu’s reaction was sensible. He smiled kindly.


“That’s a hard question, what kind of impact… It’s hard to tell.”


Host: “Is it difficult to judge, or awkward for you to say?”


Academician w.a.n.g Defu thought for a while and said, “Both.


“In fact, if I remember correctly, similar discussions took place on the LSPM forum a long time ago, but the object of discussion was not Lu Zhou. Instead, it was regarding another scholar in history. That is, what kind of influence will Einstein have on today’s academia.”


The host asked with interest, “Then, do you remember your answer at that time?”


“I remember.” Academician w.a.n.g Defu smiled and said, “If I remember correctly, my answer at the time was like this.


“Ordinary people generally have a sense of superiority when they look at historical problems. This scholar was an idiot, that person was stupid, why didn’t they answer these obvious problems earlier, etc.


“This kind of thinking is actually reflected in the film and television cultural themes, such as if a modern person travels back to 100 years ago, almost no one doubts that he can rely on information from 100 years in the future to revolutionize the world.”


The host smiled and said, “Travel back to 100 years ago? I would never do that. Apparently, back then, there was no urban cloud system, smart wearable devices, and holographic technology.”


“There was, but it’s not as convenient as it is now… Anyway, I digress.” Academician w.a.n.g Defu smiled and brought the topic back on the right track. He continued in a gentle tone, “In fact, objectively looking at this issue, it is normal to have such a sense of superiority.


“Up until now, although the development of human society has setbacks on a small scale, it has moved forward on a large scale. If an era does not have the superiority it should have, we must have failed. We have not stayed in place over the past 100 years. Whether it is science, technology, economy, culture, education, or the progress made in poverty eradication as a social issue, we could have never imagined such a utopia 100 years ago.


“However, like I said, this issue should be viewed objectively.


“Although most of the PhDs engaged in theoretical physics research can understand the hypers.p.a.ce theory and the theory of extra dimensions that were considered esoteric at the time, it does not mean that they themselves are taller than the giants they stand on.”


Seeing the host was in deep thought, Academician w.a.n.g Defu continued with a relaxed tone, “Individual behavior is always unpredictable, just like physics cannot describe the trajectory of a single molecule. It is hard to say what specific changes Lu Zhou will bring to the world. I am not even sure that he will return to academia.


“However, I am still looking forward to his return, to bring a breath of fresh air to today’s lifeless academic world.”



The discussions on the Internet continued.


However, compared to the intense discussion of his “resurrection” on the Internet, Lu Zhou himself was not interested.


To be honest, Lu Zhou, who had been taught by Xiao Ai how to correctly use the virtual community to obtain necessary information, felt like a lonely old man left behind by the times.


“It’s fine, Master! Even if there is no place for you in the entire Internet, you are the best in Xiao Ai’s eyes!”


“… I don’t feel better at all when you say that.” Lu Zhou looked at the holographic screen floating in front of him. His scalp was numb from the dazzling information and UI design. He finally gave up on sending a Weibo to celebrate his resurrection.


In fact, it was not that he didn’t want to do this. It was just that the kind of websites and apps that old popsicles like him were used to had gone extinct.


His Weibo had become a part of history.


Otherwise, he would have shared the joy of returning home with his fans…


“There are so many things to learn…”


With a light sigh, Lu Zhou turned off the holographic screen and got up from the sofa.


Xiao Ai: “Speaking of which, Master, the formal suit you ordered online has arrived. Do you need to try it first? (•̀∀•́)”


“Already?” Lu Zhou saw the logistics drone flying by the window. After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said, “Okay, I’ll try it later.”


Xiao Ai: “Do you need Xiao Ai’s help? (///ω///)”


Lu Zhou: “…”


Is there something wrong with this guy’s head?


I should take some time to take a look at the old site of the Jinling Inst.i.tute for Advanced Study.
