[Dear Professor Lu Zhou, I'm sorry to disturb you in your busy schedule! 】

[I know that when you received this letter, you must have prepared the wording of the rejection, or even written it!] But let me beg you, please do not be so hasty to refuse me. 】

With the advent of the 21st century, computer and mathematics have opened a new door for our research. However, what bothers us is that it is difficult to focus on the research of one discipline and take care of other fields. There are so few great scholars like Nash who are willing to put aside their prejudices! 】

[I've tried to delve into those obscure numbers, but unfortunately at my age, many things are no longer what I want to do. 】

[I, I can guess that you must have an impatient expression on your face, and it's really not interesting to listen to a bad old man selling miserably. But I'm still grateful that you didn't throw the letter in the shredder and patiently saw it. 】

[In two weeks, there will be an international macroeconomics conference in Shanghai, right in your country, if you have time, you might as well come to visit.] 】

[I would like to talk to you face-to-face, and at the same time, I hope you can see that your academic achievements are shining on a new stage that you don't know much about. 】

【I look forward to meeting you!】 】

It's starting to stalk......

This perseverance is almost in time for the phone call to sell insurance.

Sitting in the lounge of the Great Hall, Lu Zhou, who had changed into a suit, was cross-legged, and read the letter to the end while enduring the makeup artist smearing and fiddling with his face.

I said...... Can you hurry? ”

For a straight man, having him put on makeup is worse than killing him.

Not to mention sitting in front of the vanity mirror and letting others fiddle with it for so long.

It seemed that he expected what Lu Zhou would say, or maybe he was used to it, the young lady who was in charge of helping him grooming replied in a formulaic and soft voice with a professional smile on her face.

"Please be patient, respected Academician Lu, it will be fine soon."

Damn, have to wait?

As soon as he heard that he would have to wait for a while to end, Lu Zhou was suddenly unhappy

"I think I'm handsome enough without makeup, so be it."

This time, I couldn't help it, the young lady who was putting on makeup suddenly sneered, and the eyebrow pencil in her hand was almost crooked.

"You, you're really kidding...... Ah, of course, I mean you are indeed handsome, it's just that for this formal occasion, proper contouring and makeup is etiquette for attendees. ”

Although Lu Zhou didn't like to listen to the first half of her sentence very much, he still couldn't afford to worry about a little girl's family, so he just muttered.

"I never wear makeup when I give presentations."

"But this is not an academic report," a familiar voice came from behind, Lu Zhou glanced at the mirror in front of him, Director Li of the Bureau of Science and Industry in formal clothes, and walked in with a smile, "Academician Lu represents the image of our Chinese academic community, and you can't just do it." ”

Looking at the old man who walked in the door, Lu Zhou asked.

"You're wearing makeup too?"

Director Li said with a smile.

"Wiped a little."

Lu Zhou frowned and stared for a while.

"Why can't I see that?"

"Just touched up the lower wrinkles...... After all, I'm old, and I can't compare with you young people. Director Li cleared his throat, put on a serious expression, and continued, "Are you ready?" You'll be the first to speak in a moment. ”

Gently straightening his tie, Lu Zhou smiled and said casually.

"I'm fine, I've seen all the big scenes, but I've almost never been to the United Nations."

"Want to go? There is a chance. ”

"Forget it...... I'll just say it casually. ”

On the topics discussed by the United Nations, Lu Zhou estimated that he was probably not interested.

What's more, he is not a star, so he needs to add so many characters to himself.

It doesn't seem necessary to run there to brush your face?

"Okay," at this time, the young lady with makeup stopped the eyebrow pencil in her hand, took half a step back and patted her hand, and said with a smile, "A handsome and charming Academician Lu was born, do you want me to take a photo for you?" ”

"No need, it seems that the time is almost up," raised his hand and looked at the table below, Lu Zhou said casually, "What's more, I think I'm more handsome without makeup." ”

Makeup Artist Lady: "......"

……

The Great Hall was crowded with people.

Scholars from the field of physics from all over the world, as well as experts in the field of aerospace engineering and high-level officials in the field of aerospace from various countries, are sitting here at this moment.

In addition, there are also some young people who follow the mentor, the fledgling academic community, who was thrown aside by the tutor as soon as they entered, and finally found a place to sit down after squeezing in the crowd for a long time.

There are still about ten minutes before the opening ceremony of the seminar, and many people are whispering to each other in the 10-minute gap.

"Guess who I saw when I just came in?"

"Who?"

"NASA Administrator Carson!"

"Wouldn't it be, even Director Carson is here?"

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken, it's him!"

“…… It's hard to believe that not only the physics community, but also the global space industry has to change. ”

"Are you new to the Internet?"

“…… What do you mean? ”

"Hasn't the pattern of the global aerospace industry changed a long time ago?"

At this time, the lights on the stage suddenly turned on.

As the light lit up, many people unconsciously stopped talking and looked towards the stage.

The sound of ear-to-ear exchanges gradually subsided.

Under the watchful eye of the crowd, Lu Zhou, who was dressed in formal clothes, stepped forward to the stage.

Facing the gaze of the audience, I saw him straighten the microphone, clear his throat, and speak in a steady and clear voice.

"It's a pleasure to meet you here."

The first sentence of the card, which is a bit out of routine, made many people look at it here, dyed with a bit of curiosity.

Without a pause, Lu Zhou raised his voice slightly and continued.

"It's quite a pleasure to be able to see so many friends here, which means that we have a consensus, or at least some of them, on many issues."

"This is one of the few seminars that I have participated in, without any academic language or academic ideas, and I'm sure many of the scholars sitting here are the same as me."

"I am a great believer that politics, economics, culture, and research are inextricably linked. And we sitting here, from different fields, different professions, and different nationalities, are also for the same purpose—"

His voice gradually raised his voice, and after looking around the quiet and silent venue, Lu Zhou gently slowed down the pace of his speech, and said his next sentence at a steady pace.

"It's about looking into the farther future and facing the issues that we have to face together."

It's almost time to speak.

The opening speech was only a short two-and-a-half minutes left for him.

Most of the first half is his free play, and the second half is the content of the speech.

Facing a pair of eyes staring at him, Lu Zhou cleared his throat, looked at the speech in his hand for the first time, and said the last two sentences of the opening ceremony speech in a steady and powerful voice.

“…… Here, on behalf of the Chinese academic community, Chinese scholars, and all like-minded people, I would like to express to the world our beautiful vision for the project of the century of the Lunar Hadron Collider. ”

"I also hope that the bright moon can witness our common prosperity."

The moment the words fell.

The auditorium of 10,000 people resounded with thunderous applause.

Facing the venue with thunderous applause, Lu Zhou bowed slightly and walked towards the stage.
