Scholar’s Advanced Technological System Chapter 1568 - Aurora!

Chapter 1568: Aurora!

Clooney was a journalist from the Iberian Peninsula. He worked for the “New Century”. He was mainly engaged in writing articles on the science and technology page, as well as the current political commentary page.

A few days ago, if someone were to ask him what the highlight of his life was, he might have to think about it for a long time before he could give a mediocre answer.

However, starting today, everything had changed.

Because his predecessor asked for a leave due to illness, he would replace his predecessor to go to Shanghai, to interview and report on the grand occasion of the fusion ignition day celebration.

As the largest annual celebration in the world, being able to represent a certain media to conduct interviews on the spot was an incredible honor for a reporter.

Moreover, this year’s Ignition Day celebration had apparently invited Academician Lu, who had served as the chief engineer of the controllable fusion ignition project. The historical significance of this celebration was even more incredible.

Being able to record this moment with the lens in his own hands… Clooney was excited whenever he thought of his mission.

In order to report the grand event here to his fans in real-time, as well as readers who were following the “New Century” newspaper, he came here as early as seven days ago and made sufficient preparations for today’s report.

However…

Even with sufficient mental preparations, 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 had not stepped into the exhibition hall of the Heart of Asia, yet by just standing in the red-carpeted plaza, he could feel the significance of the exhibits.

“The K-11 s.p.a.ce 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 s.p.a.ce station and can also be used as a piece of independent automated mining equipment for asteroids above the million-ton level. Jesus… they really made this thing.”

Muttering, he then looked at the s.p.a.ce capsule in the booth. Clooney raised his trembling hands. He then pointed the camera in his hands 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 type of heavy-duty mining equipment for asteroids above the million-ton level.

Since the mining of asteroids above the megaton level had always been a problem in the industry, after the news was released, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire s.p.a.ce mining industry.

As a journalist in the field of science and technology, Clooney had been following up on this news and following the latest developments in this matter in real-time.

Unexpectedly, after only two months, he saw the legendary behemoth with his own eyes at the celebration of the fusion ignition day.

But before he could even digest what he saw, he heard an incredible exclamation in his ear. Following the sight of the crowd, he saw a silver-white arm displayed in a transparent showcase.

“Hippocampus Group’s latest robotic prosthetic!”

“It is equipped with a laser aligner, forty-two micro electric drive devices, supports multi-angle folding and multi-purpose operations, and is divided into automatic and non-automatic modes… It’s insane!”

“F*ck, that’s nuts, Hippocampus Group really implanted automatic operation mode into the prosthetic body? So the hand can wash dishes by itself?”

“I think people who can afford these kinds of implants probably don’t need to do housework by themselves… After all, the price of this hand is the same as a household robot.”

There were endless surprises.

Clooney was overwhelmed by everything in front of him.

By now, he finally understood why every fusion ignition day celebration would make the entire technology circle so crazy.

Rather than saying that this was a celebration, it was better to say that this was an expo for the science and technology industry; a grand meeting for scholars, researchers, and engineers!

…

The time was finally 6:50 in the evening.

After three hours of traffic evacuation, tens of thousands of spectators finally took the light rail special line and pa.s.sed the security check into the infield.

Once all 6,000 holographic projection arrays were energized, the entire heart of Asia was like a torch, illuminating the coastline of the eastern docks.

At the opening ceremony of the celebration.

A man who was known by everyone walked to the front of the stage at a steady pace.

Facing the curious, excited, antic.i.p.ating, and expressionless gazes below the stage, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and gave an opening speech with a smile on his face.

“h.e.l.lo, friends from all over the world.

“I am Lu Zhou.”

The clear voice echoed in the wide conference hall.

Everyone turned their attention to the person standing in front of the stage.

Responding to the pair of sights, Lu Zhou continued to speak without a pause, “In the past year, our civilization and our society have gone through many tests.

“Some about technology, some about human nature, and some about the future.

“Even though disasters once brought us into despair and even though our civilization was on the verge of a dilemma, just like those problems that were solved by us, facing the disasters that swept the world, unity allowed us to stand together and help us bring this hard-won victory.

“On this special day, I would like to offer a special gift to the people on the land of China, all citizens of the Pan-Asian state, 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 under the stage. He felt a slight tremor in his hand that was holding the camera. The expectation and excitement made his heart beat out of his chest.

What will this scholar from a century ago bring to us at this grand gathering of scholars?

He bet that no matter what it was, it would be a sensation all over the world and become a topic that people talked about. And this was exactly the news he dreamed of, so he didn’t want to miss this moment!

When everyone cast their expectant eyes on the stage, Lu Zhou, who was standing on stage, suddenly smiled and looked up at the night sky above the dome.

“Please raise your heads.”

Whether it was Chairman Li Guangya in the special seat, leaders of other regional alliances and foreign ministers, or spectators in the audience…

After hearing Lu Zhou’s words, everyone raised their head unanimously and looked at the deep night sky.

Is there anything there?

Clooney, who looked up at the sky, stared at the night sky carefully for a long time.

There seemed to be nothing there except today’s extraordinarily dazzling stars.

Is it to give mankind a star?

What’s the point?

There was a trace of confusion in his heart. He heard the same confused whispers around him. However, the change suddenly happened.

There was a colorful light.

Or rather, a ray of light.

No one noticed how it appeared. By the time everyone started to realize its existence, it had already surfaced there.

The illusory light and shadows looked so real, like a longbow pointing straight to the sky, with breathtaking beauty and power, a horizontal line appeared in the air, like a long river across the starry sky.

At this moment, everyone was stunned. Their faces were incredibly surprised.

The leaders of the regional alliances turned their eyes aside and talked quietly with their aides, foreign ministers, or leaders of other regional alliances.

Clooney, sitting in the audience, was still looking up at the sky.

He had completely forgotten what language he should use to express the surprise at this moment in his heart.

He opened and closed his mouth.

Aurora!

It’s an aurora!

Jesus…

We’re seeing an aurora in China!
