After Academician Kong left, Lü Yongchang returned to his office, a thoughtful look crossing his face.
As Zero's creator, Lü Yongchang naturally knew just how capable Zero was.
It was no exaggeration to say that the so-called Heavenly Court Project could only become a reality because Zero existed!
Computing power was not actually much of a problem.
Going from zero to one was always the hardest step.
Since the first-generation superconducting Quantum Computer had already been successfully developed, Academician Mo Zeyang would likely have good news about the second-generation Quantum Computer before long.
That left communication latency as the biggest obstacle.
Lü Yongchang closed his eyes, and his consciousness once again entered the Technology Tree System's space.
[Quantum Communication Technology]
Starship Manufacturing technology occupied an equivalent position.
In other words, these two technologies had essentially reached the ceiling of what was known as a Type I civilization.
Looking at the dim node near the top of the technology tree's first tier, Lü Yongchang sighed softly.
He tried focusing his attention on that extremely dim node, hoping to obtain a few simple hints.
A wave of intense dizziness surged from deep within his mind.
Lü Yongchang let out a muffled groan.
The next moment, his consciousness was ejected directly from that fluorescent green space.
"Professor Lü?"
Hurried footsteps and calls came from nearby.
"Professor Lü, are you all right?"
Perhaps because of the dizziness, Su Yutong's voice sounded strangely distorted.
Lü Yongchang struggled to open his eyes.
His vision was blurred.
He felt something warm just above his upper lip.
"Ah!"
A brief, startled cry rang out. "Y-you're bleeding from your nose?!"
Hurried footsteps faded into the distance, followed by a cacophony of shouts.
He instinctively tried to reach up and wipe it away, but his vision went black,
