Long before the anti-terrorism exercise codenamed "Mission" began, China informed the international community about the exercise through reasonable and legitimate channels.
However, for most ordinary people, it was the second day after the exercise ended that they actually heard about this "special exercise" with the aerospace forces as the protagonist.
In addition to testing the newly equipped "Thunder" airborne capsule and the newly formed orbital airborne force, the other two important purposes of this exercise were deterrence and publicity.
In order to perfectly restore this "leap of the century" and the shocking scene, the CTV news reporter responsible for filming the exercise also put in a lot of effort.
Not only did they use a rare movie-style filming technique, but they also broke a lot of expensive filming equipment in order to capture the various perspectives of the airborne capsule entering the atmosphere.
However, compared to the high cost, the effect was also quite shocking.
On the news broadcast the day after the exercise, after a brief introduction by the host, the half-minute video, which was the culmination of countless news workers' hard work, quickly caught everyone's attention.
The commander said "cabin separation", then the airborne capsule breaking through the atmosphere, and the gradually accelerating and exciting pace made the audience unable to move their eyes away.
There was no need for special effects at all.
Every frame was a blockbuster-level scene!
Especially the close-up of the airborne capsules leaving the cabin, as well as the steel torrent that finally hit the ground and the explosion of the orbital airborne soldiers, it directly pushed the video … or rather, the atmosphere of the film to a climax! It made people's scalps tingle!
Because of this, the discussion about this military exercise had already exploded on all major online forums, QQ groups, and media platforms even though the news was only halfway through its broadcast.
[F * ck me! Orbital airborne soldiers! When did our aerospace forces become so powerful?!]
[Shocked! Is this really an exercise? Not a movie? I'm going to smoke a cigarette to calm down.]
[Our journey is the sea of stars!!!]
[Since ancient times, the moon has been a sacred and inseparable part of us.]
[Congratulations to the express delivery alliance! Worldwide delivery within an hour! Thunder Express, mission accomplished!]
[I'm afraid NASA is going crazy this time. No wonder I saw something wrong with the US stock market yesterday. There was no good news, but the aerospace companies were all on drugs.]
Before this, no one had ever heard of the Air Force Equipment Department having such a research plan.
Deploy globally within an hour.
An airborne landing at an altitude of 110 kilometers.
Until a few hours ago, these concepts sounded absurd, like something that would only appear in a sci-fi blockbuster.
Even though such a scene was presented in front of them, many people who saw this half-minute video from other places subconsciously couldn't believe it was real.
Common sense and reason reminded them that they were more willing to believe that this was the result of the Office of Strategic Deception, or that it had simply been taken from that sci-fi blockbuster …
In fact, they could not be blamed for feeling this way.
After the entire drill footage was edited, it did not look like news material. Instead, it looked more like an action-oriented sci-fi blockbuster.
All it needed was a BGM, and it could be used as a recruitment advertisement for the aerospace forces.
Speaking of which, someone really did add some background music to the video and uploaded it to YouTube. In less than a day, it had received millions of views.
A lot of foreigners who didn't know the truth even asked in the comment section which movie this was from, and argued furiously with the kind-hearted people who reminded them that this wasn't a movie.
It wasn't until they saw the news on Facebook and elsewhere that many people instantly realized that this really wasn't a movie, and that every shot had been recreated from a real drill …
In addition to the half-minute video featuring the twenty orbital paratroopers, the "Thunderbird" multi-purpose spacecraft, the "Great Wall" space transport ship, and the ground command center that was working behind the scenes were also given several close-ups by the CCTV reporters in the follow-up interviews.
While demonstrating the results of the training to the public, this "thunderbolt" that fell from a height of a hundred kilometers really deterred a lot of people who harbored evil thoughts.
At the same time, it also smashed a lot of conspiracies brewing in the dark.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy was laughable.
If their opponent had such an army that could break through all the existing air defense systems in the world within an hour, send their troops anywhere they could imagine, and not even give them time to react …
In the face of such an opponent, they really had to reconsider many things …
…
Time quickly passed by.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the middle of July.
Ever since the end of the drill, Lu Zhou returned home from the training base. He spent almost all of his energy on researching the Riemann conjecture.
Even though no one urged him to make any breakthroughs, as August got closer and closer, Lu Zhou still had the illusion that he was approaching the deadline.
This was the first time for him.
Even after making so much progress, they were still wandering in the maze, unable to find the exit.
As usual, Lu Zhou sat in his study room. After he finished searching for the latest research results in the field of analytic number theory on arXiv, he was about to close the browser and begin his research.
However, a string of bubbles popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.
Xiao Ai: [Master, you have mail! ノ]
Lu Zhou: "Open it for me … Make me a cup of coffee and bring it to the study room."
Xiao Ai: [Okay, Master!]
This little guy seemed to have endless energy; he was always full of energy.
When Lu Zhou saw the emoji, he couldn't help but smile. He felt like his mood had improved a lot.
He looked at the computer screen. He was familiar with the email address. It should be the high school student he met at the Yan University mathematics research center.
Speaking of which, it was already the middle of July. Even though Lu Zhou didn't pay attention to the IMO competition, he still knew when the competition would end.
Ji Mo: [Master! You got the gold medal, you said you were going to take me as your student!]
Gold medal?
This kid is good.
Lu Zhou still remembered that he thought Lu Zhou was annoying, so he said that to get rid of Lu Zhou. He didn't expect Lu Zhou to actually win the gold medal.
However, even though he didn't like Lu Zhou's arrogant personality, if Lu Zhou had the ability to win an IMO gold medal, then he would be worth training.
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and typed a reply.
[Come to Jin Ling University when school starts.]
After he finished typing, he clicked send.
Just as Lu Zhou was about to close his mailbox, a reply appeared in his unread mailbox at the speed of light.
[Yeah, okay, Master! Oh yeah, what should I read over the summer? I plan on studying university courses.]
Lu Zhou: "…"
Even though he didn't want to talk to Lu Zhou, he still couldn't help but type a reply.
[Study my a * s.]
Ji Mo: […???]
Lu Zhou sighed and continued to type.
[Hurry up and play. The happiest days of your life are only left in these two months. When you get to university, I promise you that you will have plenty of time to read. As for the remaining two months, it's better to do some things that I wanted to do before but didn't dare to do, such as traveling.]
Lu Zhou thought about it carefully and realized that Lu Zhou was right.
Ever since he stepped into the university campus, his life was like a tightly wound clockwork. Although he was not busy every day, there was almost no time for him to relax.
Of course, even though Lu Zhou wasn't disgusted with his current fulfilling life, he still enjoyed doing research that he loved.
It was just that he would occasionally miss that carefree and carefree life.
Ji Mo: [Okay, Master! Even though I don't know why you're saying this, I'll do it!]
Lu Zhou looked at Lu Zhou's reply and nodded with approval.
Not bad. Even though being arrogant is a bad habit, being obedient is worth a lot of points.
He was about to close his email for the second time to continue his research when he suddenly remembered something important. Therefore, he couldn't help but send another email.
[Oh yeah, it's okay to walk around, but try to stay away from superstitious places.]
Ji Mo: [Why?]
Lu Zhou: [I'm afraid you'll go astray.]
Ji Mo: […?]
