Yangtze River Delta City Group.
A huge building made of steel was located on the edge of the coastline of Shanghai's neighboring port area.
A dark gray steel skeleton formed the outer wall of the building. The beautiful outline looked like a cradle from a distance, pregnant with the fire of life and hope.
Its name was Heart of Asia.
Every inch of steel on its body was a special steel produced in the low-gravity and low-pressure environment of Mars.
In order to commemorate the population of Tiangong City breaking through the 10,000 mark and the gross domestic product breaking through the threshold of one billion, China used steel sent from Tiangong City to cast this landmark building.
It was also this building that directly doubled the GDP of the Mars colony the following year.
Over the past 70 years, this building had witnessed the cross-regional power grid spread across Asia. It had witnessed the replacement of traditional optical cables with submarine quantum optical cables. It had also witnessed the people of the Pan-Asian region and the Chinese people moving towards common prosperity hand in hand, forming a community with a shared destiny in the new era.
Today, this cultural center, which incorporated virtual reality technology and could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, had become one of the important venues for the Pan-Asian Cooperation to showcase regional strength and hold international events.
Today, this cradle standing on the coastline was once again lit up by brilliant holographic light and shadow.
Representatives of more than 100 countries and regional alliances participated in this event, as well as elites and celebrities from all walks of life. Representatives of civil society were also invited.
The 36000 holographic projection arrays were all powered up, and the two nearby main roads were all blocked. All the guests attending the conference were sent to the venue by special light rail. The police force of the entire area was invested in this area to ensure public security in this area.
This was the first time such a high-profile party had been held in the past 20 years …
Even though he hadn't stepped into the venue yet, Lu Zhou, who was standing in the lounge, could already hear the hustle and bustle of the people outside the venue.
He calmed his breathing and made a relaxed smile in the mirror, calming his beating heart a little.
"It's so grand, it's embarrassing."
Lu Zhou gently adjusted the tie in front of his chest. He looked at the "new era suit" that would definitely be considered bizarre in the 21st century. He suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
After returning to Earth, he had only lived a peaceful life for less than three days, and he was about to return to the boring life under the spotlight. For a moment, he was a little hesitant.
However, that trace of hesitation only lasted for an instant.
After taking a deep breath, he nodded slightly to the waiter waiting next to him, indicating that he was ready, then followed his footsteps and walked into the hall of the Heart of Asia.
The spacious hallway was carpeted with red carpet, extending all the way to the door.
The guard of honor standing at the door opened the door to the main hall for him.
Almost as soon as he stepped into the main hall, an illusory salute sounded twelve times in the air.
The flying light particles and colorful ribbons slowly fell from the dome along the finely carved steel load-bearing structure and finally landed on the bright red carpet.
It was like the stars falling from the sky, embellishing the invisible but real glory around him.
Cheers, applause, and the pairs of eyes full of heat and excitement surged like a tide, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a peak …
Many people took the maglev train for tens of thousands of kilometers and worked hard to get the admission qualification, just to come to the scene to see him and witness the style of the greatest scholar from a hundred years ago …
"Welcome home!"
Director Li Guangya took the initiative to greet him. He held Lu Zhou's right hand with both hands and said with a warm smile.
"I hope this triumphant ceremony, which has been delayed for a century, has not made you wait too long!"
"For me, it's just a blink of an eye." Lu Zhou held Chairman Li Guangya's right hand. He smiled faintly and continued, "The only thing that surprised me was that in the blink of an eye, the outside world has changed so much."
In fact, his experience on Mars couldn't be described as a blink of an eye.
Even though he watched the life of the Martian civilization in a fast-forward state, the memory spanning tens of thousands of years took him a few years.
However, compared to the time that had passed on Earth, these few years could only be described as insignificant.
Moreover, he hadn't decided if he should reveal the details yet.
"No matter how the times change, I believe that people's enthusiasm and yearning for you will not change." Chairman Li Guangya smiled heartily and said in a relaxed tone, "I believe you have already felt it from the cheers of people."
"Haha, that's true." Lu Zhou also smiled in a friendly manner and said jokingly, "Or rather, the enthusiasm makes me a little embarrassed."
After a few words of exchange, Lu Zhou followed the footsteps of the party host and came to the first seat of the guest seat in the infield. Sitting next to him were ministerial officials of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, as well as diplomats from other regional alliances.
Especially those diplomats from other regional alliances, they had been casting their eyes on him, seemingly trying to see something from him.
For those inquiring eyes, Lu Zhou just responded with a faint smile and did not say much.
He could guess the surprise in these people's hearts.
He was even sure that if Newton or Einstein climbed out of the coffin one day, the expression on his face might not be much calmer than them …
On the stage, an elegant and long song was sung, and a passionate symphony was played immediately.
The 100-meter-wide holographic screen was like a golden waterfall, slowly hanging from the dome of the venue.
Lines of powerful words emerged on the waterfall, presenting his life and honors in front of everyone.
Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize winner, Cole Prize in Number Theory, Lingyun Medal winner, Hoffman Medal, Fields Prize and Gauss Prize winner, Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry, academician of the China Academy of Sciences, honorary academician of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences, founder of the Lu Zhou Education Foundation and the Freezing Human Rights Foundation …
As well as one of the most influential people of the 21st century announced by the United Nations at the beginning of the 22nd century!
As for his titles and honors, even if an entire holographic screen was used up, it would not be able to record them all. Even Lu Zhou himself did not fully know about the honors that were bestowed on him in the past century.
As for the legends surrounding him, there were even more.
Even if the entire party was used, it would be impossible to describe them in detail.
However, the Pan-Asian Cooperation did not intend to do so.
This party was not originally prepared to review the first half of his life, but to send a signal to the world, or to announce a fact.
The man who once led China, the world, and human civilization to greatness!
Now, he was back!
The lights dimmed slightly.
The noise inside and outside the venue subsided slightly.
A man in formal attire walked onto the stage.
Chairman Li Guangya cleared his throat and announced in a steady and solemn voice.
"… The unfinished exploration a hundred years ago opened the prelude to the Age of Space Navigation. A group of explorers from all over the world gathered together and launched a challenge to the ruins buried deep under Mars.
"It was also the exploration of extraterrestrial civilization that made us set our sights on the world beyond the atmosphere. It also made us realize in a real sense that we are not alone in this universe. There are mysteries and dangers beyond our cradle that we do not understand.
"We have paid a heavy price for our immaturity, and our hero has been left on Mars forever."
"However, everything was not as bad as we thought.
"Perhaps because of the providence, or perhaps because of the hopes and prayers of the century, our hero did not sleep in the relic. Instead, he has returned to us with the glory that belongs to him!"
"Let us give his triumphant return a round of applause and blessings!
"Welcome home, our hero!"
