With six days left before the fusion ignition day, Lu Zhou received an invitation from the Pan-Asian Cooperation.
The invitation letter was written by Chairman Li Guangya and sent to Lu Zhou's home by Secretary Wei.
In the invitation letter, Li Guangya first expressed sincere greetings on behalf of the Pan-Asian Cooperation and thanked him for his contributions to the Pan-Asian people over the past year. He also invited him to attend this grand celebration as a special guest of the celebration.
It just so happened that Lu Zhou was quite curious about what this ignition day celebration would be like, so he didn't refuse and agreed to it.
Considering the importance of this celebration, in order to avoid some guests from making a fool of themselves because they were not familiar with the process, the Celebration Committee held an on-the-spot rehearsal on the fifth day before the start of the celebration.
Although he could not go in principle, considering that they had been preparing for a month, Lu Zhou still obeyed the arrangement and went to accompany the staff.
Xing Bian got out of the car in the parking lot next to the Heart of Asia. He held the door with his right hand as he looked at the towering steel giant structure. He narrowed his eyes and spoke smugly.
"Do you know why the name of the Heart of Asia is obviously the Heart of Asia, but it is shaped like a torch?"
Lu Zhou glanced at the steel building that was bigger than the Bird's Nest and couldn't help but complain.
"How does this look like a torch?"
He wanted to say this the last time he came here.
Xing Bian almost choked when he heard Lu Zhou's words. He coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
"I think it's quite similar, but that's not the point!"
Not the point …
Lu Zhou didn't want to waste time on this issue, so he said perfunctorily.
"… Because of fusion ignition day?"
Xing Bian: "Correct answer!"
Lu Zhou: "…"
The answer was a little too obvious …
Captain Xing didn't notice the speechlessness on Lu Zhou's face. He grinned and looked at the Heart of Asia with a trace of fascination in his eyes.
After a pause, he continued to speak.
"For the Pan-Asian Cooperation, controllable nuclear fusion has extraordinary significance. This is not only a gift from the Huaxia people to the human civilization, but also the core that links our fate together! "
Was there still such a layer of meaning?
A thoughtful expression appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the territory of the Pan-Asian Cooperation was the area covered by the cross-regional power grid. Because of the breakthrough in controllable fusion technology, this magnificent project could be realized.
"Speaking of which, what's going on in this celebration? Is it just an ordinary performance? "
"Theatrical performance? Of course there are, but this is obviously not the point. "With a smile on his face, Xing Bian continued," Generally speaking, representatives of various regional alliances will be invited to participate in the celebration, and invitations will also be sent to major research institutions and high-tech companies around the world. "
Lu Zhou: "And then?"
Xing Bian: "Then, major research institutions and high-tech companies will use this celebration to show their cutting-edge research results, technologies, and products!"
Lu Zhou: "Does it sound like a world's fair?"
Xing Bian touched his chin and said, "World Expo? Um … You're right, but the celebration of the Ignition Day is more inclined to the technical level. If the selling point is just weird, I'm afraid the judges of the celebration will not give a high evaluation. "
Lu Zhou: "It sounds interesting, but will other regional alliances bring their cutting-edge technology to Shanghai to show?"
Xing Bian smiled and said, "Why not? For research institutions and companies, if they can take the lead in the celebration, it will be a symbol of technical strength! For regional alliances, if more universities, research institutions, and companies can emerge here, it will also be a thing worthy of national pride! "
After hearing Xing Bian's words, Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback. He then spoke with a smile.
"It seems that the political environment of the 22nd century is really completely different from the 21st century."
"That's for sure." Xing Bian said with a smile, "After all, the times are moving forward."
In fact, there were some words that didn't need to be said by Xing Bian.
After living in this era for nearly a year, even if no one told him, Lu Zhou could feel some things intuitively.
Although there were still confrontations between regional alliances, in the 22nd century, the fate of human beings had been connected as a whole.
Perhaps, as his friend from the North Sea Alliance, Professor Leonard, said, in this era, humans had basically eliminated wars on the ground and extended their tentacles into space. Even the most chaotic corner of the African continent cast a yearning look at the civilized and civilized world.
The embryonic form of the community of human destiny had appeared. All civilizations could be completely connected as a whole and achieve common prosperity in the historical wave of exploring the new world.
And this time was different from the union a century ago.
It was not because of external forces, but because of the evolution of historical trends.
Everything seemed to flow naturally.
Lu Zhou could feel that the curtain of the era was being pulled open.
He had woken up at just the right time …
Lu Zhou smiled.
"Since this day is so important, then I will also offer a big gift for our community of destiny."
"That ultimate material?" Xing Bian's face showed an excited expression. "If it is this, I bet it will definitely take the top spot at the celebration!"
Although he wasn't at the scene, he had heard about it.
When Academician Xia of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences Institute of Nanomaterials saw the material stored in the test tube, he was dumbfounded.
Not only that, but the experts at the Institute of Engineering were also dumbfounded.
After seeing the physical properties of the "ultimate material", even the engineers who were pessimistic about the space elevator plan had changed their previous positions.
This thing was simply tailor-made for the space elevator …
No matter how you looked at it, it was an epoch-making research!
"You mean that?" Lu Zhou suddenly smiled mysteriously, shook his head, and said, "I don't have the habit of stirring up cold water, not to mention using that thing, there is no surprise."
Looking at Lu Zhou in confusion, Xing Bian didn't understand. If even that thing couldn't be called a surprise, what else could be called a surprise?
However, facing this friend's confusion, Lu Zhou did not make any explanation. He just looked up at the sky, then walked toward the Heart of Asia with his hands behind his back.
At the same time, on the Moon hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
A cylindrical device with a diameter of about 20 centimeters emerged from the dark sky and slowly descended toward the surface of the Moon …
