The first weekend of July.
For the people living on Mars, this was definitely an extraordinary day.
Because on this day, the East Asia Communications Company suddenly announced a piece of major news.
After countless days and nights of repeated debugging, the quantum communication network processor located in the Yangtze River Delta city group was officially turned on and running.
As the first main server of the quantum communication network, with the completion of this server, the information exchange efficiency of the global network would reach an unprecedented height. It was no exaggeration to say that the efficiency of the global network would be a whole dimension higher than the previous network model.
Under the framework of the Lu Consortium's distributed computing model, every bit of information could be paired with its corresponding bit in the shortest time possible. Not only that, but the security of the information would also rise to a higher level.
The last time such major news happened in the field of information engineering was when the first submarine quantum optical cable was completed a century ago. After 100 years, people finally found the "software" that could match this set of "hardware".
Whether it was a coincidence or some kind of historical inevitability, the root cause of these two technological breakthroughs was actually the same person …
Of course, compared to the surprise of the scholars of information engineering and the incredible feeling of this set of "Lu Distributed Computing Model", the audience was more interested in … and even excited about something else.
That was the big net that had been rewoven. Not only did it include the entire world, but it also expanded its tentacles beyond the Earth-Moon system, including the colonial cities on Mars.
From now on, people on Mars would no longer have to endure dozens of minutes of delay in communicating with their relatives and friends on Earth.
With the help of stargate technology and holographic imaging technology, not only could they swim on the same wonderful network as citizens living on Earth, but they could even communicate face-to-face with their relatives and friends across hundreds of millions of kilometers.
The Star of Asia, located on the coastline of the Yangtze River Delta city group, in this huge stadium overlooking the Pacific Ocean, was a crowded scene at this moment.
After several months of negotiations, under the joint consultation of various regional alliances, the charter of the Human Alliance was finally drafted.
And today, at this important moment, Li Guangya, as the chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, would not only announce on behalf of the entire community of human destiny.
"If you want to choose the four greatest inventions of the 22nd century, he alone accounts for two."
Wu Shuhua: "Which two?"
Li Guangya: "Faster than light technology and quantum communication networks."
As for the other two, the robot could probably be selected as one of them. The other was not so easy to evaluate. Including the magnetic levitation car, there were too many alternatives that could be selected.
But at this moment, Li Guangya suddenly realized that, strictly speaking, robots seemed to have something to do with him.
Even though this technology was created while he was asleep, the company that funded the research and development of this technology was Star Sky Technology and its subsidiary, Zhongshan New Materials.
"Where's the space elevator? He was also the one who completed it. "
"Does that count as an invention? I prefer to call it something like the Great Wall of China or the pyramids … They are the wonders of engineering. "
Hearing this, Wu Shuhua, who was looking at Li Guangya, suddenly had a strange expression on her face.
She still remembered that a year ago, when they had just heard the news that Academician Lu was still alive, the guy in front of her said, "We need a mascot".
However, who would have thought that this "mascot" in their eyes would not only not be comical and out of place in this era, but on this day, a year later, it would completely change everyone's way of life and even the entire world.
The Human Alliance, which had fallen apart because of his disappearance, was once again born on the international stage.
Even though he had never said a word for this alliance, all of this was born because of his existence …
"It's really hard to believe. In our original plan, this year we should completely solve the problem of the ownership of Olympus Mons on Mars with other regional alliances, but who would have thought … We have become a community of shared honor and disgrace."
"No one would have thought that, just like I never thought that a scientist from a century ago could wake up during my tenure." Li Guangya sighed softly. He said in an emotional tone, "Maybe, just like what I said in that speech a year ago."
Wu Shuhua: "What did you say?"
"Destiny."
Wu Shuhua's eyebrows twitched. She squinted at him and didn't know how to respond.
Wu Shuhua looked at her watch and ignored his bullsh * t. She cleared her throat and continued.
"While we are chatting here, there are only ten minutes left before the press conference … Comrade Chairman, are you ready?"
"Only ten minutes left? That's great, this long wait is finally over. "
Li Guangya stood up from the chair and walked to the mirror. He smiled slightly and reached out to adjust his collar.
In a relaxed and confident tone, he spoke concisely and to the point.
"Let's go, let's start a new era."
…
Li Guangya, who was wearing a formal suit, walked to the front of the stage amidst a round of applause.
All of this was a piece of cake for him. He had stood in the same situation countless times. He knew better than anyone how to mobilize people's emotions and how to make people cheer for his ideals.
Facing the microphones, he cleared his throat and spoke in a gradual and sonorous tone.
"From walking upright to slash-and-burn farming, from the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers to the Euphrates and Tiris Rivers, from the dark age of ignorance to the ancient feudal dynasty … Until today, in these tens of thousands of years, we have created a prosperous culture and established a brilliant civilization on this land.
"However, just as the shadow always follows the light, in these tens of thousands of years, we have also suffered the memory of hunger, disease, war, and poverty.
"Fortunately, they did not defeat us."
"The memory of suffering makes us grow up, makes us more united, and stronger. It makes us deeply realize that eliminating exploitation and oppression, ending war and hunger, and liberating our enslaved compatriots … is the primary goal of our civilization, and all existences that hinder us from realizing this great ideal will be our common enemy.
"This is an alliance that transcends bloodlines and national boundaries. Regardless of nationality or belief, in the face of this common ideal, our fate has been closely linked, and our future will be shared.
"In these 100 years, we have proved with our actions that peaceful rise is a feasible path. Even in the most difficult times, we still maintained the greatest restraint and never resorted to violence against others for our own suffering.
"And now, we are willing to share our experience and culture with you."
At this point, Li Guangya looked around the vast venue.
He suppressed the excitement and heroism that were about to overflow from his chest. He took a deep breath, raised his voice, and spoke in a sonorous and powerful tone.
"Today, I am honored to stand here and reach a consensus with all of you on the common topic of the future of our civilization.
"I am also very honored to be able to announce the arrival of this glorious moment."
Pairs of expectant eyes focused on the stage.
In response to the expectations in the eyes, he didn't stop for a moment and spoke loudly.
"From today onwards —
"I announce on behalf of 233 countries and regions around the world, as well as the regional alliances established on this basis!
"The Human Alliance is officially established!
