Clooney was a journalist from the Iberian Peninsula, working for New Century, mainly engaged in writing articles on science and technology pages and political commentary pages.
A few days ago, if someone asked him when the highlight of his life was, he would have to think for a long time before he could give a mediocre answer.
However, from today onwards, everything would be different.
Because his predecessor asked for leave due to illness, he would replace his predecessor this time to go to Shanghai to interview and report on the grand occasion of the ignition day celebration.
As the largest annual celebration in the world, it was a great honor for a reporter to be able to represent a certain media to go to the scene for an interview.
Moreover, it was said that this year's ignition day celebration would feature Academician Lu, who had served as the chief engineer of the controllable fusion ignition program, as a special guest. The historical significance of this celebration was even more incredible.
Clooney was excited to be able to record this moment with the camera in his hand. Whenever he thought of his mission, he would be excited.
In order to report the grand occasion here in real time to his fans, as well as the readers of New Century, he had arrived here seven days ago in advance to make sufficient preparations for today's report.
However …
Even with sufficient mental preparation, when he arrived at the scene on the day of the celebration, he was still shocked by the grand occasion in front of him.
Before he stepped into the exhibition hall of the Heart of Asia, just standing on the red-carpeted square, he felt the shocking feeling from the exhibits.
"The K-11 space mining module of East Asia Heavy Industries! It is equipped with eight pairs of plasma cutters! It can be installed on any type of large-scale mining space station, and it can also be used as an independent automated mining equipment to mine asteroids above one million tons! Jesus … They really made this thing. "
Murmuring to himself, Clooney looked at the space capsule in the booth. He raised his trembling hands, aimed the camera in his hand at the behemoth, and pressed the shutter.
As early as two months ago, East Asia Heavy Industries released the news at its own press conference, saying that it was designing a heavy mining equipment for asteroids above one million tons.
Because the mining of asteroids above one million tons had always been a problem that needed to be solved urgently in the industry, after this news was released, it immediately caused a lot of sensation in the entire space mining industry.
As a reporter in the field of technology, Clooney had been following up on this news and paying attention to the latest developments of this matter in real time.
Unexpectedly, in just two months' time, he saw the legendary behemoth with his own eyes at the celebration of the ignition day.
However, before he could be surprised by what he saw, he heard an incredulous exclamation. Following their line of sight, they saw a silver-white arm displayed in a transparent display case.
"Hippocampus Group's latest bionic prosthetics!"
"It is equipped with a laser calibrator and 42 miniature electric actuators. It supports multi-angle folding and multi-purpose operations. It is divided into automatic and non-automatic modes … It's simply amazing!"
"F * ck, that's awesome. The Hippocampus Group has really implanted the automatic operation mode into the prosthesis? Then wouldn't I be able to do housework while making a dungeon? "
"I think people who can afford this kind of implant probably don't need to do housework by themselves … After all, the price of this hand has caught up with a household robot."
One after another, the exclamations were endless, and everything in front of Clooney was too much for his eyes to take in.
Now, he finally understood why every ignition day celebration would make the entire technology circle so crazy.
This was not so much a celebration as an Expo of the science and technology community, a grand gathering for scholars, scientific researchers, and engineers!
…
It was finally 6: 50 in the evening.
After three hours of traffic diversion, tens of thousands of spectators finally took the light rail special line and passed the security check to enter the infield.
The 6,000 holographic projection arrays were all electrified, and the entire Heart of Asia was like a lit torch, illuminating the coastline of the dock area and illuminating everyone's eyes.
At the opening ceremony of the celebration.
A man who was familiar to everyone walked to the front of the stage at a steady pace.
Facing the pairs of curious, excited, expectant, or expressionless eyes, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and delivered an opening speech with a smile on his face.
"Hello, friends from all over the world."
"I am Lu Zhou."
A clear voice echoed in the wide venue.
Whether the focus of attention was on the opening speech or not, everyone turned their eyes to the person standing in front of the stage.
Responding to those pairs of eyes, Lu Zhou did not pause and continued.
"In the past year, our civilization and our society have gone through many trials."
"Some of them are about technology, some of them are about human nature, and some of them are about the future.
"Even if the disaster once plunged us into despair, even if our civilization was once on the verge of a dilemma. But just like those problems that we have solved, in the face of the disaster that swept through the world, unity allowed us to stand together and brought us this hard-won victory.
"On this special day, I want to dedicate a special gift to the people of China, all the citizens of Pan-Asia, and even the people of the world."
The venue was quiet.
Pairs of eyes with different expressions began to be filled with strong expectations.
Especially Clooney, who was sitting in the audience. His hand holding the camera trembled slightly, and the expectation and excitement in his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
What would this scholar from a century ago bring to them at this grand gathering of scholars?
He was willing to bet that no matter what it was, it would cause a sensation all over the world and become a topic of interest for people. This was exactly the news he dreamed of. He didn't want to miss this moment in any case!
Just when everyone wanted to cast their expectant eyes on the stage, Lu Zhou, who was standing on the stage, suddenly smiled lightly and looked up at the night sky above the dome.
"Everyone, please look up."
Whether it was Chairman Li Guangya sitting in the special seat, the leaders and foreign ministers of other regional alliances, or the many spectators sitting in the audience.
After hearing Lu Zhou's words, everyone raised their heads and looked at the deep night sky.
Is there something there?
Clooney, who looked up at the sky, stared at the night sky for a long time.
Except for the stars that were particularly dazzling today, there seemed to be nothing there.
Is he going to give a star to all of humanity?
Does someone need to give this thing to me?
There was a trace of confusion in his heart. Just when he heard the same confused whispers in his ears, a change suddenly happened.
It was a multicolored light.
Or a band of light.
No one noticed how it appeared. When everyone began to realize its existence, it had already appeared there.
That illusory light and shadow looked so real, like a longbow pointing straight at the sky. It was bright and dark in the sky, opening and closing with breathtaking beauty and power, drawing out a long river in the sky that spanned across the starry sky.
At this moment, everyone was stunned, and their faces were gradually filled with disbelief and surprise.
The leaders of the regional alliances turned their eyes sideways and whispered to their aides, foreign ministers, or leaders of other regional alliances.
Clooney, who was sitting in the audience, was still looking up at the sky.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten what words he should use to express the surprise in his heart at this moment.
His lips opened and closed, but he couldn't spit out a word. Only his lips were constantly shouting.
Aurora!
It's an aurora!
God …
He actually saw an aurora in the temperate zone!
