The applause was like a thunderstorm, echoing throughout the venue.
Even though there was a curtain wall between them, one could still feel the passion and excitement from the applause.
Lu Zhou didn't really care about things like honor.
If he could win more honor and recognition for himself, for those who supported him, for his people, and for his country, of course, he would not refuse. But even if he didn't, he wouldn't feel bad about it.
However, when he stood on the stage, he couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.
Even though he didn't care about anything else, in the face of the mysteries of the universe and the glory of the human mind, the secular world's reputation was nothing more than a bubble, as light as a reed.
However, the heavy weight that symbolized responsibility and the light that symbolized hope that hung on his chest were not fake at all …
…
Jin Ling University cafeteria.
It was early in the morning, and it was already packed with people.
Regardless of whether they were freshmen or seniors in their third year of postgraduate studies, regardless of whether they were preparing for the CET-4 or CET-6 exams or slacking off on a daily basis, they all woke up abnormally early on this day when they should have been sleeping in.
There was a long line in front of the noodle counter. The TV hanging in the corner was already on, and it was playing the CCTV news program.
"Did you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"Yesterday, our school's Academician Lu received the National Medal of Honor!"
"That nutty?! Is it the medal that only the few people with the most outstanding contributions in each industry can receive? "
"Of course!"
"Nutty, how many national awards has God Lu won?"
"I don't know, I'm just curious about one thing. Which big name is receiving the award with him?"
"He didn't receive the award with him. This year's National Medal of Honor was only awarded to him!"
Not far away, the actors from the crew were sitting.
The earlier they finished filming, the earlier they could release the movie. For them, once the movie started filming, there was no such thing as a holiday. An actress wearing a cap looked at the long line of students in front of the window and spoke with surprise.
"Jin Ling University students are so hardworking, they're up so early on a holiday."
"Yeah yeah, much more hardworking than I was."
Han Mengqi, who was sitting next to the two professional actresses, was sipping her porridge. She was going to follow them to the library to shoot some scenes. Although she was not familiar with the two of them, she still raised her head to look at them when she heard their conversation.
"Normally, there wouldn't be so many people. It's just that today is special."
One of the actresses tilted her head and looked at her curiously.
"Special?"
Han Mengqi nodded and said simply.
"Yes, the military parade at 7 PM today will be broadcasted live on Central TV."
Although he could watch it on his phone in the dorm, it was obviously not as good as watching it on TV with everyone in the cafeteria. Moreover, it was also time for breakfast. Since he was already awake, if he didn't eat something, he would feel like he was mistreating himself for waking up so early.
While they were talking, it was already seven o 'clock.
Accompanied by the spirited military music, the grand and grand inspection officially began.
The soldiers lined up in a square formation marched on the wide road with sonorous and powerful steps. Following closely behind were various types of heavy equipment, tanks, and fighter jets that hung rainbows in the air. The boys in the cafeteria were filled with adrenaline and excitement.
Although Han Mengqi was not interested in these things that only boys were interested in, under the influence of the impassioned music and atmosphere, she couldn't help but softly hum a song.
Speaking of which, Academician Lu should be watching it live.
My sister seems to be there too.
I just don't know where they are sitting …
Just when Han Mengqi had completely forgotten about the shooting and was thinking about some strange things, the style of the TV suddenly changed.
A phalanx that was completely different from other military types walked into the center of the camera.
Kinetic skeletons armed to the teeth, futuristic bullet-less rifles, digital eyepieces that couldn't be seen … The uniform pace revealed a sense of majesty and sternness.
Behind each of them was a four-rotor multi-purpose drone. The hanging muzzle and the bullet-less rifle in the hands of the soldiers exuded a chilling deterrent force.
They were clearly infantry, but they were more powerful than armored forces. Accompanied by the sonorous and powerful footsteps, they marched forward in unison like a steel torrent formed by a human wall.
What is that?
Han Mengqi, whose attention had been completely captured by this scene, couldn't help but feel her cheeks heat up.
It was the temperature of excitement.
Although she was completely uninterested in weapons and equipment that only boys were interested in, for some reason, these things seemed to have ignited her passion.
In an instant, she suddenly understood where this exhilarating feeling came from.
The black kinetic armor, isn't it the "high-strength carbon nanocomposite" project she did last year?
It can't be wrong!
This is it!
Seeing that the scientific research project she participated in produced results and was projected into reality in such a cool way, she felt like she was drinking a glass of iced coke in the hottest days of summer. Her mood was indescribably excited and comfortable.
There was only one sentence to describe it.
This is so cool!
…
At the scene of the military parade.
A little girl who looked like she was only seven or eight years old and seemed to have just entered elementary school climbed onto the knee of a white-haired old man. She pointed her little hand excitedly at the phalanx not far away and said in a childish voice.
"Grandpa, come and see the robot!"
Academician Pan Changhong patted his granddaughter's hand and told her not to be so active. He then went back to his seat and spoke to his pouting granddaughter. "What robot! That's our Orbital Airborne Brigade! "
His granddaughter tilted her head and spoke with a puzzled expression.
"What is an Orbital Airborne Brigade?"
Academician Pan Changhong smiled, and there was a trace of fascination in his aged pupils.
"It's a group of people who guard our space frontier."
The appearance of the Orbital Airborne Brigade shocked everyone at the scene, including the audience in front of the TV.
Almost as soon as the torrent of steel appeared in front of the CCTV cameras, the hot topic instantly exploded, whether it was on Weibo or a certain video website that came with a mobile game.
"So cool!"
"Steel is our footprints!! (voice cracking) "
"What's the use of this kind of armor? It's the 21st century! It's not flexible at all. Do you expect armor to be bulletproof in modern warfare? I don't even go to junior high school, this isn't smart at all! "
"Why don't you try for yourself if it's bulletproof? Also, that thing is called a kinetic skeleton! It's not a f * cking bulletproof vest! "
"Orbital Express, Mission Accomplished, Manual Funny! (Funny) "
Whether they were dazzled by the cool design or blinded by the expensive digital equipment, the Chinese netizens were thrilled to see such an awesome weapon appear in the phalanx.
At the same time, on the foreign forums, as the live broadcast video was released on CCTV's overseas account, the overseas netizens were deeply shocked by this scene.
In the comment section of YouTube, waves of heated discussions came one after another. In less than an hour, the number of comments easily exceeded 10,000.
Among them were overseas Chinese who were proud of the strength of their motherland. There were also people who were crazy with jealousy. There was also a group of people who were shocked by the equipment they had never seen before.
"What do the Chinese want to do?! Fight aliens?! "
"I want to ask that guy on Twitter, where are our aerospace forces?!"
"We have aerospace forces, but we don't seem to have an aerospace force. (dizzy) "
"I heard they can deploy globally in an hour."
"That's scary, if I say bad things about them, will they suddenly land in my yard?"
"It's unlikely, but instead, they might go to Pennsylvania Avenue or the nuclear bomb site in Arizona …"
