Time to Show Some Real Technical Skill

Much of the reason domestic research commercialization rates fell short of expectations was not entirely because Hua Nation's scholars were incapable. A large part of the problem lay within industry itself. After all, many things could not be solved simply by drawing up a design blueprint; being able to research something did not mean being able to manufacture it.

Whether in science or technology, development had to follow certain laws, advancing step by step through mutual adaptation.

If possible, Lu Zhou would naturally have preferred to focus on theoretical research and leave others to figure out how to turn technology into practical results.

However, if he really did that, he might not see the day his research entered reality until he was nearing forty rather than thirty.

The next morning, outside the Space Shuttle Assembly Center.

After parking the car, Wang Peng glanced at the building beyond the window and casually asked,

"What are you planning to do once you get up there?"

Lu Zhou smiled at the question.

"I haven't decided yet. For now, I'll start by building an astronomical observatory."

"An astronomical observatory?" Wang Peng gave him a surprised look. "Since when did you become interested in stars?"

"An astronomical observatory is not necessarily for looking at stars. There is a branch of Physics called Astrophysics. For Theoretical Physics, Experimental Physics is one way to verify conclusions, but it is not the only way. Especially for problems that are difficult to realize with current technology, searching the universe for clues through Astrophysics can instead be a more economical and practical option."

In fact, many great discoveries had been born this way.

For example, the most famous discovery of Gravitational Waves was an achievement born from Astrophysics. By observing two black holes in the final stages of merging 1.3
