Chapter 1250 We

Under the gorgeous fireworks.

The family stood at the entrance of the gymnasium. An old man in a gray vest looked around, chattering incessantly.

"Where are people? Why don't you come?"

When we parted yesterday, he made an appointment with the old Lu who he met on the high-speed rail, and we met at the entrance of the gymnasium, but he waited here for a long time without seeing anyone...

Or rather, there are people everywhere.

"Old man, it's time for us to check the tickets!"

Still unwilling to leave, Liu Peizhong glared at the staff who wanted to help him, then looked at his wife, and shouted loudly, "Wait a little longer... my friend will be here soon."

"Fuck you XXX! You and your brother with a different surname!"

Finally annoyed by his family, his wife left such a sentence and walked to the gym by himself.

Standing next to the two old men, the slightly younger man had a dumbfounding expression on his face, and hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law to take his son to catch up with his mother-in-law, so as not to be scattered by the crowd, he came to his father In front of him, he earnestly persuaded.

"Dad, we can't wait any longer. There are so many people. If we don't leave, we will be kicked out by the security guards here."

"That's right, Uncle Liu." Standing on the other side of the old man, a fashionable white-collar woman put down her mobile phone and said with a sigh, "Can't we just watch the celebration? It's a big festival Introduce someone to me... can't I introduce it tomorrow?"

Even if it is a blind date, there is no blind date in this kind of place, right?

If you encounter face blindness, you may not even know that the person next to you has changed.

"You do not understand!"

"I don't understand what you are talking about?"

Liu Peizhong hesitated for a while with evasive eyes, finally sighed and spoke.

"The one I introduced to you...is a bit unusual."

The white-collar woman rolled her eyes.

"The idiot son of the landlord's family or the young son of the coal boss's family? This is Shangjing, how can it be extraordinary if it is unusual?"

"The license plate of his parents who came to pick him up is Jing A..."

"Brother, I don't think it's good to release people, let's wait!"

Seeing the cousin who suddenly turned his face, the man standing next to him was dumbfounded.

Damn, it's too realistic, right?

but,

Beijing A...

The man nodded awkwardly.

"Well, that's fine, let's... let's wait together."

I don't know when it started, fireworks have already bloomed in the sky.

Although they still wanted to wait, looking at the rioting crowd and the venue staff who came up to maintain order, it was obvious that there was no place for them to wait any longer.

The crowd began to move, and Lu Zhou also entered the venue.

At first, Lao Lu was obsessed with not meeting that old friend and his niece, but after entering the venue, he forgot about it.

Because everything that appeared in front of my eyes was too illusory.

The arrow floating in front of him was immersed in the smoke column, as if it was real.

"This... can I touch it?" Lao Lu opened his mouth, not knowing how to describe the illusory light and shadow in front of him, and he didn't know who to ask, so he could only point it out to his son.

Looking at the bewildered father, Lu Zhou smiled.

"Touch it with confidence, it's just a hologram, it won't break."

In order to prevent equipment loss caused by people trampling, almost the vast majority of holographic projection equipment are on the ceiling except for a few projection equipment used to complement the picture. Like a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, holograms throughout the stadium are built from the top down.

There is no need to worry about breaking something valuable.

Guided by the lights, the group followed their numbers and found their seats.

After taking his seat, Lu Bangguo put on his seat belt under the reminder of the staff next to him.

Before the celebration started, he looked around the stadium, saw the huge crowd, and the spectacular stadium itself, and said with emotion.

"This bird's nest is quite beautifully repaired... It's a pity I haven't been here before."

Fang Mei rolled his eyes at him: "What a pity, aren't you here now?"

"Now is definitely different from what I saw in the past... Zhouer, how long will it take for this celebration to start?"

Just when Lu Bangguo asked this question, Lu Zhou was about to answer when the lights on the ceiling suddenly dimmed. With this gradually dimming light, the originally noisy assembly hall of 100,000 people suddenly became quiet by several decibels.

Lu Zhou raised his head and looked at the time on his watch, with a smile of anticipation in his eyes.

Looking at Dad, he replied.

"It has already begun."

...

When the last spectator entered and sat down, the music sounded from all corners of the venue, washing away the noise of the audience.

The beams of light from the sky gradually dimmed, and the venue gradually merged into the night. Except for the light sources emitted by a few mobile phone screens, it was almost pitch-black darkness.

Under the shroud of this silent atmosphere, people gradually stopped making loud noises and changed to whispering. There was a hint of excitement in that voice, and a hint of anticipation.

This is the celebration they have been looking forward to for a long time.

Finally started!

Invisible mist rose in the dark night, like a thick cloud, quickly filling the entire interior of the gymnasium. It's like coloring the whole oil painting, it makes the darkness more viscous and more invisible.

This time, even the light source emitted by the mobile phone screen was engulfed in the artificially generated thick fog.

Only a few naive people turned on the flashlights, but the staff followed the light source and confiscated their mobile phones. After registering the identity information, these mobile phones will be sent to the security room and returned after the celebration.

The darkness didn't last long.

Just when people were confused about what the celebration wanted to express, dots of light suddenly appeared beside everyone. Those faint red light particles, like fireflies flying in the flowers, are also like the sparks of a prairie fire, dancing in this invisible dense fog, and outline small and insignificant trajectories.

There are more and more fireflies flying, like a galaxy shuttling overhead.

Being distracted by this spectacular and romantic scene, people stopped talking and began to look curiously at everything that happened around them.

The child sitting in the adult's arms stretched out his right hand, trying to hold the non-existent firefly in his hand.

The couple leaning on each other, excitedly pointing at the light spots in the sky like shooting stars, took the opportunity to make a wish to be together forever...

Everything in front of me is like a mirage in the fog, full of dreamy beauty and unreal feeling.

At this moment, when everyone was not ready, suddenly all the gorgeous light particles flew into the air, gathering into a ball of fiery red color.

The flame was like a torch, exuding energy like a burst of magma, illuminating the thick wall of fog into a depressing dark red. The rising rays of light are like the boiling flames on the trenches, and they are like gunfire piercing the night sky, pouring down on the silent land.

Under the shroud of that oppressive atmosphere, the children subconsciously stopped crying, the lovers stopped talking about you and me, the adults held their breaths, and the old people clenched their fists, and the pupils reflected The colors seem to be evoked memories of the years...

Suddenly, the fighter plane pushing the propeller broke through the clouds and swooped down from the sky with the flames sprayed from the muzzle. There were screams in the stadium one after another, making it difficult to distinguish whether it was the ambient sound effect or someone's shouting.

As if in the scene of a war movie, in the center of fierce firefights, people swayed from side to side and dodged. If they were not tied by seat belts, most of them would have fallen to the ground.

What is horrifying is only the opening moment, although the crisis is far from over.

The battlefield turned into tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and then tens of thousands of acres of withered and yellow fields.

In the ice and snow, people climbed to Mount Everest. On the swamp, on the frozen soil, and in the mountains, people carried sickles and hoes forward without hesitation, looking for the lifeline of industry...

In the era of scarce productivity, people are the least valuable machines.

But it is also this most worthless machine that forcibly built a world on the ruins with his own hands.

There is no other reason.

They believe that tomorrow will be better, and they believe in it.

This is the only fuel other than carbohydrates that keeps them moving.

Maybe they didn't have any concept of automation, and there was no novelty like artificial intelligence in that era. But they still firmly believe that there must be such a day in the future, when everyone can have enough food and clothing, do decent jobs that are different from them, and realize the value of life in things that are more worth devoting time to, rather than on the assembly line. wasting life on...

It would be best to be able to be a little pretentious after eating... and this is something most of them have never experienced.

Even if they know it well, when this day really comes, they probably won't see it.

But it doesn't matter.

They believe that if they cannot see it, their children and grandchildren will surely see it for them, telling them all about the future in dreams, and will not waste their sacrifices in vain.

The movies of the era are like a revolving lantern, flashing in front of people one after another.

When seeing the memories about the past appearing in their eyes, many old people's eyes were filled with tears. The children sitting next to the adults, although their eyes were ignorant, still clenched their fists involuntarily under the influence of the atmosphere.

Until, a car appeared.

It was disembarked from a ship that was docked.

The sound of the siren seemed to sound the clarion call to join the WTO, and the beautiful era finally revealed a corner in front of people, wanting to refuse. The oppressive atmosphere finally faded away amidst the ups and downs of music, and then tall buildings rose from the ground.

The Oriental Pearl Tower, the Bird's Nest, the World Expo Pavilion... and the Xiaguang that conquered the orbit of the earth and the moon, and the Moon Palace floating above the sky.

In the last scene of the celebration, an astronaut carrying a red flag walked from the gray lunar soil, just like his fathers, he planted the red flag heavily on the moon with his strong arms.

The screen switches again.

That red flag is gone.

Instead, the gray wasteland under his feet has become a space city that seems to only appear in science fiction movies. The track train suspended among the high-rise buildings, and the cargo box crawling along the mine road, are going nowhere...

Lu Zhou noticed that his father, who was sitting next to him, quietly raised his arm and rubbed the corners of his eyes with his cuff.

He didn't speak, but silently moved his eyes away.

He knew very well that his father was a face-saving person, which was exactly the same as himself. If his son discovered his weak side, he might be so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep all night.

"……Feel."

"Feel?"

Really can't think of any words to describe it, Chen Yushan sniffed and said in a choked voice.

"It's spectacular."

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded slightly.

"Yeah, it's spectacular."

Although he doesn't know whether this celebration can be considered a success, he also doesn't know whether Starry Sky Technology's holographic projection system has fired the first shot...

But the most precious meaning of this celebration has undoubtedly been achieved.
