Zhongshan International mansion.
Lu Zhou returned home after a long day of work. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a drone with a huge "QAQ" flying toward him.
Xiao Ai: [Master! QAQ]
Lu Zhou's hair was blown to the side by the drone's airflow. He looked at Xiao Ai with a muddled expression.
"What happened?"
Xiao Ai: [There's a strange woman. She did some strange things as soon as she came in. QAQ]
What the hell are these strange things?
Lu Zhou took off his shoes and was about to go to the kitchen to take a look when he heard light footsteps coming from the corner of the corridor.
"You're back?"
Chen Yushan walked over from the kitchen with a plate of braised fish. She had a charming smile on her face as she joked, "I used the kitchen without your permission, you don't mind, right?"
"I don't think any man in this world would mind …" Lu Zhou pressed down on Xiao Ai and asked, "Why did you get off work so early today?"
"I wanted to give you a surprise, so I left early."
"Surprise?"
"Don't tell me you forgot your birthday."
Birthday?
Suddenly, Lu Zhou had a look of realization on his face.
Chen Yushan smirked at Lu Zhou and spoke.
"I can tell from your expression that you must have forgotten. Luckily, I remember."
"Yushan."
"Hey … don't be so mushy." Chen Yushan couldn't help but shiver when she heard his mushy voice. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands. It's time to eat!"
Lu Zhou nodded and spoke with a smile.
"Yeah! I'm on my way! "
Xiao Ai: [(∀ ∀ □ ′) (∀ ∀ ∀ ∀)]
The candles were inserted into the cake, and the birthday song blew out the flames.
Lu Zhou looked at the number printed on the candles and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Time really flew by.
Although this was not the first time he felt this way, the moment he blew out the candle, he still felt that time flies.
In the blink of an eye, he had gone from a young boy to an old man.
Fortunately, these twelve years were not wasted, nor were they wasted.
At the age of thirty, he could be considered to have achieved something.
"What did you wish for?"
Lu Zhou put away his hands and spoke with a smile.
"Isn't there a saying that doesn't work if you say it out loud?"
Chen Yushan said excitedly, "How could that be? We can achieve it together. Wouldn't that be double the efficacy? "
Lu Zhou said with a smile, "Then I'll say it."
Chen Yushan nodded expectantly.
"Yes! Say it. "
He closed his eyes and tried to recall the feeling he had when he made a wish.
As if he was making a new wish, Lu Zhou put his palms together again and said.
"I want to use the money I have earned over the years to do something beneficial to society at the age of thirty. For example … Like an old man suggested to me, I should set up an award in my name to encourage more young scholars. "
In fact, this idea was not temporary. It had been formed in his mind a long time ago.
When he received the blessing of the "Goddess of the Lake" on the shore of Lake Mälaren, Lu Zhou made up his mind.
Although he didn't believe in gods, he was so happy now, and it was indeed time to fulfill his wish.
After hearing Lu Zhou's wish, Chen Yushan pouted.
"I thought it would be related to me."
Lu Zhou looked at Chen Yushan and smiled.
"I don't need to entrust everything related to you to an illusory birthday wish. I hope to achieve it through my own sincerity."
"When did you become so glib?"
Lu Zhou thought about this question for a moment. He frowned.
"Did I?"
"…"
Chen Yushan didn't say anything. Her cheeks were a little hot.
Although she wasn't the type who was easily sensitive to sweet words, she always felt that it was very reassuring to see him say those words seriously.
It was like a switch in her heart was turned on.
Ahhhh …
AWSL！
Lu Zhou: "…?"
The candles were blown out, and it was time to cut the cake.
However, when Lu Zhou looked at the birthday cake, he didn't want to take a bite.
Because right in front of them, the table full of delicacies was exuding a tempting aroma. Just smelling it would make one salivate. Not to mention the visual impact, it was almost as if they were glowing like in comics.
If there was such a thing as attribute tags, Lu Zhou was sure that there would be "excellent" or "perfect" attribute cards next to it.
After finishing the sumptuous dinner, the two of them sat shoulder to shoulder on the sofa like any couple would do.
As for cleaning up the table, Xiao Ai did it.
Looking at the image on the TV, Chen Yushan, who seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly whispered.
"You won't be back until the end of the year from Mars."
"Yeah." Lu Zhou nodded, looked at her, and said, "Let's get married as soon as we come back, isn't that good?"
"No, you're not sincere at all."
Lu Zhou didn't expect Chen Yushan to refuse. He was stunned for a moment and spoke.
"Then … why don't we —"
"No!" Chen Yushan's index finger tapped on Lu Zhou's lips, interrupting him. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Whoever goes back on their word is a puppy! Do you want to be a puppy? "
"Um … Forget it, it's still a little embarrassing for me." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Although it may be a bit rushed, I swear I will make you happy."
Chen Yushan's lips curled up happily.
"Hmph, I'll remember what you said … Pinky promise."
Lu Zhou smiled and held the right hand in front of him.
"Yeah, pinky promise."
…
Ever since Schulz moved to the Jinling launch site, there was one more student in the training plan. With the arrival of delegations from other countries, Lu Zhou finally met all the members of the expedition team he was about to lead.
Although everyone was unfamiliar with each other, they got along smoothly.
After all, it was for the future of human civilization. Everyone was fully committed to the pre-launch preparations.
As the day of departure approached, Lu Zhou's work became busier and busier. However, he would still try to take some time out of his busy schedule to accompany his fiancée.
At the same time, the voices of discussion on the Internet were constantly fermenting.
In particular, the list of the "diplomatic mission" that represented the human civilization to Mars to communicate with the extraterrestrial civilization had not yet been announced. Many people were guessing who would be in the diplomatic mission.
"I guess one of the members of the LSPM research group must go! I don't know if you noticed that detail. If it wasn't for the language deviation, the extraterrestrial civilization seems to have indicated that they want to talk to the person who solved the ABC conjecture. "
"I guess it's Academician Lu, the pinnacle of the wisdom of human civilization … Apart from him, I can't think of anyone more suitable to represent the highest level of wisdom of human civilization."
"How is that possible! If I were a high-level official, I would definitely not allow him to go! "
"Haha, unfortunately, you're not."
"Could it be Perelman? Russia has been a little closer to us in the past two years, plus he seems to be working at Jin Ling University since last year. Maybe he will be sent there. "
"That's unlikely, as for him … No one can persuade him to do something he's not interested in. His mental state is also not very stable. Who would dare to send such a person? "
"Oh, it doesn't matter if he wants to go or not, if I were Pu —"
"Okay, okay, do you think this is a red alert? You can just move your fingers and go there? Here's the mouse. You can command everything. "
"…"
The voices of debate became more and more intense, and the scope was gradually expanding.
Not only the list of the second batch of Mars landing plan, but also the soon-to-be-established "Human Alliance" also attracted the attention of many people and became a topic of interest.
Before this, the community of human destiny had always been just an abstract concept, but now it had been given a practical meaning.
Many more radical social science scholars even put forward bold ideas.
The exchange with extraterrestrial civilizations would not only greatly improve the level of science and technology of the two civilizations, but it would even completely change the political ecology and the concept of traditional boundaries on Earth.
For example, Professor Camilla Iven, a famous economist and sociologist at the University of Cambridge, expressed very optimistic views in an interview.
"All the achievements that human beings have made so far have been driven by imagination. The contact with extraterrestrial civilizations has broadened our imagination to a new dimension. It turns out that in a certain corner of the universe, there are a group of creatures that are as smart as us, or even smarter than us."
"And their production relations will be something we have never seen before."
In addition to the upcoming launch of the second batch of manned Mars landing plan, the China Lunar Orbit Committee also announced the second batch of large-scale immigration plans for Guanghan City.
This time, the size of the immigration was 500 people.
Although there was not much direct and obvious causal relationship, people still clearly felt that the discovery of extraterrestrial civilization seemed to have pushed China's development of moon resources into the fast lane.
In the face of this rapid change, many people felt a trace of complex emotions in their hearts.
It wasn't just the people of the world.
Similarly, it also included people born on the land of China.
As if to cater to this mood, an article on WeChat entered the eyes of the vast majority of people and also caused people to think about the future …
