Scholar’s Advanced Technological System - Chapter 1566
Chapter 1566 – Gift To The World
With 6 days left before the fusion ignition day holiday, Lu Zhou really received an invitation from the Pan-Asian Cooperation officials.
The invitation letter was personally written by Chairman Li Guangya and sent to Lu Zhou?s home by Secretary Wei.
In the invitation letter, Li Guangya first expressed his sincere greetings on behalf of the Pan-Asian Cooperation and thanked him for his contributions to the Pan-Asian people in the past year. He then invited him to attend this grand celebration as a special guest.
Lu Zhou was curious about what the celebration of the fusion ignition day was like, so he did not decline. Instead, he accepted the invitation.
Considering the importance of this celebration, in order to avoid some guests embarrassing themselves because they were not familiar with the process, the celebration committee held an on-site dress rehearsal on the 5th day before the start of the celebration.
Although it was unnecessary to go, considering that they had been preparing for a month, Lu Zhou still obeyed the arrangement and walked through the scene with the staff.
Xing Bian got off the car at the ground parking lot next to the Heart of Asia. He held the door of the car with his right hand and squinted his eyes while looking at the huge steel building.
?Do you know why the Heart of Asia is shaped like a torch??
Lu Zhou glanced at the steel building that was even bigger than Bird?s Nest. He couldn?t help but say, ?How does it look like a torch??
He wanted to say this the last time he came here.
Hearing Lu Zhou?s words, Xing Bian almost choked on his saliva, and he coughed to hide his embarrassment.
?I think it looks like one, but this is not the point!?
Not the point I see…
Not wanting to waste time on this issue, Lu Zhou said casually, ?Because of fusion ignition day…??
Xing Bian: ?Correct!?
Lu Zhou: ?…?
This answer is too obvious…
Without noticing the speechlessness on Lu Zhou?s face, Captain Xing grinned.
There was a trace of fascination in his eyes as he looked at the Heart of Asia.
After a pause, he continued to speak, ?For the Pan-Asian Cooperation, controllable nuclear fusion is of extraordinary significance. This is not only a gift from the Chinese nation to human civilization but also the core that connects our destiny into a whole!?
How does that make any sense?
There was a slightly confused expression on Lu Zhou?s face.
But then again, it seems true that the territory of Pan-Asian Cooperation is the area covered by the cross-regional power grid. It is precisely because of the breakthrough of controllable fusion technology that this magnificent project could be realized.
?Speaking of which, what kind of show does this celebration have? Is it just an ordinary theatrical performance??
?Theatrical performances? There are definitely some, but they are obviously not the point.? Xing Bian continued with a smile on his face, ?Generally speaking, the celebration committee will invite representatives of various regional alliances to participate, and at the same time, it will also invite the world?s major research institutions and high-tech companies.?
Lu Zhou: ?Then what??
Xing Bian: ?The major research institutions and high-tech companies will use this celebration to showcase their most cutting-edge research results, technologies, and products!?
Lu Zhou: ?That sounds like a World Expo??
Xing Bian touched his chin and said, ?World Expo? Hmm… Sort of, but the things that are displayed on the Ignition Day are usually more inclined toward the technical level. If the selling point is just weird and not technically difficult, the judges won?t give a high evaluation.?
Lu Zhou: ?It sounds interesting, but will other regional alliances bring their cutting-edge technology to Shanghai to showcase it??
Xing Bian smiled and said, ?Why not? For research institutions and companies, if they can get first place at the celebration, it will be a symbol of technical strength! For regional alliances, it is also something that the people can be proud of!?
After hearing Xing Bian?s words, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned. He then said with a smile, ?It seems that the political environment of the 22nd century is 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, this was obvious.
Having lived in this era for nearly a year, even if no one told him, Lu Zhou could still feel this.
Although there were still confrontations between regional alliances, in the 22nd century, mankind had become one.
Perhaps as his friend Professor Leonard of the North Sea Alliance said, in this era, mankind had basically eliminated wars on the ground and moved its tentacles into space. Even the most chaotic corner of the African continent cast longing eyes on the civilized world.
The embryonic form of a community with a shared future for mankind had emerged. This is the last opportunity for all civilizations to be completely connected as a whole and to achieve common prosperity in the historical wave of exploring the new world.
But this was different from the union a century ago.
Not because of external forces, but because of the evolution in conformity with historical trends.
Everything seemed to connect together.
Lu Zhou could feel that the curtain of a new era was being opened.
This is the perfect era for me to wake up in…
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou had a smile on his face.
?Since this day is so important, then I would also like to offer a great gift to our community.?
?The ultimate material?? Xing Bian?s face showed an expression of excitement as he said, ?I bet it would get the top spot in the celebration!?
Although he was not there, he had heard of this material.
When he saw the material stored in the test tube, Academician Xia of the Institute of Nanomaterials of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences was dumbfounded and exclaimed in disbelief.
Not only him; even those experts from the engineering research institute felt the same.
After seeing the physical properties of the ?ultimate material?, even engineers who were originally pessimistic about the space elevator program changed their previous opinions.
This thing was simply tailor-made for the space elevator…
It could be regarded as epoch-changing research!
?You mean that?? Lu Zhou smiled mysteriously. He shook his head and said, ?I don?t like to milk something twice, not to mention that it can?t be considered a surprise.?
Xing Bian looked at Lu Zhou in confusion. He didn?t understand. If that thing wasn?t even a surprise, what else could be called a surprise.
However, Lu Zhou did not give any explanation. He just looked up at the sky for a moment before walking towards the Heart of Asia with his hands behind his back.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away on the moon.
A cylindrical device with a diameter of about 20 cm was emerging from the dark sky and slowly descending towards the surface of the moon…
