Chapter 1569 Aurora!
Clooney is a reporter from the Iberian Peninsula who works for the "New Century" and is mainly engaged in writing articles on the science and technology page and the current affairs commentary page.
A few days ago, if someone asked him when was the highlight moment in his life, he might have to think for a long time before giving a mediocre answer.
But starting today, everything has changed.
Since his senior was on leave due to illness, this time he will replace his senior 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 is a great honor for a reporter to be able to go to the scene to conduct an interview on behalf of a certain media.
Moreover, it is said that this year's Ignition Day celebration will have Academician Lu, who once served as the chief engineer of the controllable fusion ignition project, as the special guest. The historical significance of this celebration is even more incredible.
Being able to record this moment with the camera in his hand, Clooney will be very excited every time he thinks of his mission.
In order to report the grand occasion here to his fans in real time, as well as the readers of the "New Century" newspaper, he came here seven days ago in advance and made 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.
He has not stepped into the exhibition hall of the Heart of Asia, but just standing in the square covered with red carpet, he can feel the shocking feeling from the exhibits.
"The K-11 space mining module of East Asia Heavy Industries! 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 automatic mining equipment. Mining! God...they really made this thing."
Muttering to himself, looking at the space capsule on the booth, Clooney raised his trembling hands, aimed the lens in his hand at the behemoth and pressed the shutter.
As early as two months ago, East Asia Heavy Industries released news at its own press conference, saying that it was designing a heavy-duty mining equipment for asteroids with a capacity of more than one million tons.
Since the mining of asteroids with a capacity of more than one million tons has always been an urgent problem to be solved in the industry, this news immediately caused quite a stir in the entire space mining industry.
As a reporter in the technology field, Clooney has been following up on this news and paying attention to the latest developments in this matter in real time.
Unexpectedly, in just two months, he saw this legendary behemoth with his own eyes at the Ignition Day celebration.
However, before he could be surprised by what he saw before him, he heard an unbelievable exclamation in his ears. Following the line of sight of those people, they saw a silver-white arm displayed in a transparent showcase.
"The latest bionic prosthetic body of the Hippocampus Group!"
"It is equipped with a laser aligner, forty-two miniature electric drives, supports multi-angle folding and multi-purpose operations, and is divided into automatic and non-automatic modes...it's a blockbuster!"
"Damn it, that's awesome. The Hippocampus Group has really implanted the automatic operation mode into the prosthetic body? Wouldn't it be possible to do housework while writing books?"
"I think people who can afford this kind of implanted prosthetic body probably don't need to do housework by themselves... After all, the price of this hand has already caught up with a home-use bionic human."
Shouts of astonishment were heard one after another, and Clooney was dizzy with everything in front of him.
Now, he finally understands why every Ignition Day celebration makes the entire technology circle so crazy.
Rather than saying that this is a celebration, it is better to say that this is a world expo in the scientific and technological world, a grand gathering for scholars, researchers, and engineers!
...
The time finally came to six fifty in the evening.
After three hours of traffic diversion, tens of thousands of spectators finally took the light rail line, passed the security check and entered the infield.
The six thousand holographic projection arrays are all electrified, and the entire Heart of Asia is like a lit torch, illuminating the coastline of the pilotage area, and also illuminating everyone's eyes.
At the opening ceremony of the celebration.
A man familiar to everyone walked up to the stage with steady steps.
Facing the curious, excited, anticipating, or expressionless eyes of the audience, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and delivered the opening speech with a smile on his face.
"Hello friends from all over the world."
"I'm Lu Zhou."
A clear voice echoed in the wide venue.
Whether or not the focus of attention was on the opening speech, all eyes were on the man standing in front of the stage.
Responding to those gazes, Lu Zhou continued without any pause.
"In the past year, our civilization, and our society, have undergone many tests."
"It's about technology, it's about humanity, and it's about the future."
"Even though disasters once made us despair, even if our civilization was once on the verge of a dilemma. But like those problems that we have solved, in the face of disasters sweeping the world, unity makes us stand together and stand for us brought about this hard-won victory.”
"On this special day, I would like to offer a special gift to the people of China, all the citizens of Pan-Asia, and even the people of the world."
There was silence at the venue.
In the eyes of the pair with different expressions, strong expectations began to be written.
Especially Clooney who was sitting under the stage, his hand holding the camera trembled slightly, and the anticipation and excitement in his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
What will this scholar from a century ago bring to this grand gathering for scholars?
He bet that no matter what it is, it will be a sensation all over the world and become a topic that people talk about. And this is exactly the news he dreamed of, no matter what he doesn't want to miss this moment!
When everyone was looking forward to the stage, Lu Zhou who was standing on the stage suddenly smiled and looked up at the night sky above the dome.
"Everyone please look up."
Whether it is Chairman Li Guangya sitting in the special seat, leaders of other regional alliances and foreign ministers, or many audiences sitting in the auditorium.
After hearing Lu Zhou's words, everyone raised their heads in unison and looked at the deep night sky.
is there something there
Clooney, who looked up at the sky, stared carefully at the night sky for a long time.
There seemed to be nothing there except the stars were extraordinarily bright today.
Is it a star for all mankind?
Does anyone need to deliver this thing?
There was a hint of confusion in his heart, and just when he heard whispers in his ear that were equally confused as him, a sudden change occurred.
It was a colorful light.
Or light strips.
No one noticed how it appeared, it was there by the time everyone became aware of its existence.
The illusory light and shadow look so real, like a longbow pointing directly at the sky, stretching in the air flickering, opening and closing with breathtaking beauty and power, drawing a horizontal line in the air. The long river across the starry sky.
At this moment, everyone froze there, their faces gradually filled with unbelievable surprise.
The leaders of the regional alliances turned their eyes sideways and chatted with their staff, foreign ministers, or leaders of other regional alliances in low voices.
Clooney, who was sitting in the audience, was still looking up at the sky.
At this moment, he has completely forgotten what language he should use to express the surprise in his heart at this moment.
From the opened and closed lips, no word could come out, only the shape of the lips kept shouting.
aurora!
It's Aurora!
God……
He actually saw the aurora in the temperate zone!
