Chapter 1276: Necessity Expedition

For a superpower to want to punish an East African army. valve, simply not too easy.

Marash, who returned to the base with a lot of trouble, didn't know that he had survived until now purely because no one took him seriously.

And now, his greed had completely angered a force that he should never be angry with. It's not just Hua Guo who has his eyes on him, the whole world is looking at him with curiosity.

This curiosity was certainly not curiosity about how he would escape.

It's curious how tragic his death will be......

At this moment, Lu Zhou, who is visiting Copenhagen, does not know what is happening behind the scenes.

Truth be told, these things were beyond his professional scope, and while the power that was staring at him made him feel a little worried, it was far more than just scared.

Or don't say you're scared, you can't even talk about being afraid.

The Aerospace Force is on standby 24 hours a day, and I am afraid that no one in this world is safer than him.

However, it is a pity that Li Gaoliang did not come to meet him on the cruise ship after completing the mission, or he planned to invite him to drink two glasses.

Staying in the most luxurious hotel in Copenhagen, Lu Zhou sat in the executive lounge, drinking afternoon tea while swiping the scarf in his mobile phone.

These days, the headlines of major news media have been swept up by the orbital airborne troops that fell from the sky. The most interesting thing is that the netizens in District 11 have given this unit a lot of strange names.

For example, such as "Heavenly Tribulation Flame", "Heavenly Soldier", "Knights of the Empire's Cosmic Order", etc., the most unimaginable thing is that these words are actually quoted in their newspapers.

As for netizens in North America, they are more serious.

They complained that NASA spends a lot of money every year, but they don't see any results.

In fact, this is wronging them.

Although NASA does spend a lot of money, they definitely don't spend it indiscriminately, not only that, but they are even so frugal that they want to break a coin in half to spend it.

But there is no way, the marginal effect of scientific research investment determines that some things will definitely see a return if you don't spend money. Unless there is another talent like Lu Zhou, they will not see any hope of catching up with Huaguo in the aerospace field in the short term.

"The mayor of Copenhagen wants to visit you tomorrow morning, I wonder if you have time?"

Sitting opposite Lu Zhou was Ambassador Du Yanming of China to Denmark. The gray-haired old man was already 60 years old and was said to have lived abroad for 20 years.

"So welcoming?" Lu Zhou raised his head and glanced at the old man sitting opposite him with some surprise.

From yesterday to now, he has almost met all the political leaders of this half-sized country. So far, he has a lot of business cards on him, but he doesn't remember the name, let alone match the name with the face.

"Normally they wouldn't be so enthusiastic."

"That seems a bit unusual this time."

"Because we haven't usually made such a big fuss before a foreign visit," the gray-haired ambassador smiled, picked up his teacup and took a sip of the black tea in the cup, "You know what? At least one camp is stationed outside the hotel you're staying in. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou's face showed an innocent expression.

To be honest, he was quite innocent.

Where would he have thought that on a cruise ship, mosquitoes will chase after him and bite.

Nothing like this had ever happened before, at least not during his visits to Russia and France.

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't speak, Du Da gently touched the teacup with his index finger, smiled mildly and continued.

"I noticed that you don't seem to have any interest in tea, but anyway, I really recommend you try this cup. The tea leaves of this cup of black tea are produced on a Sri Lankan farm, which is said to be more than 100 years old and is considered one of the properties of the Danish royal family. Only when they meet the most distinguished guests will they take it out and entertain them. ”

Lu Zhou sighed softly, reluctantly tasted it, and put the teacup down.

"I'm really not used to drinking it, it would be better to give me a cup of instant coffee."

"Academician Lu's hobby is really unique," Haha smiled, and Ambassador Du continued, "Speaking of which, Academician Lu is not married?" ”

"Sort of."

"Can I introduce me?"

"No need, I already have a partner."

"I'm sorry, I was abrupt," Ambassador Du Yanming showed a surprised expression on his face, then an apologetic smile appeared, and he quickly changed the topic without a trace, "Speaking of which, Ambassador Zhang asked me to say thank you for him." ”

Lu Zhou raised his head: "Ambassador Zhang Wenbin? ”

"Yes." Du Yanming smiled and nodded, "It is said that Prince Ferep tweeted after disembarking, thanking and praising your behavior on the cruise. The people of Sweden also expressed their surprise, they didn't expect our Academician Lu to have such a brave side, standing up at the moment of crisis, being braver than their royal guards, and saving their lovely little princess...... If Princess Lillian had been a little older, it might have been a good story. ”

Lu Zhou coughed dryly.

"Don't talk about this kind of thing."

Ambassador Du slapped his thigh with a smile.

"Haha, it's just a friendly joke, please don't take it personally. In any case, this is a beneficial and harmless thing for our diplomatic exchanges with the Nordic countries. What do you think? ”

As he spoke, the gray-haired old man squeezed his eyebrows at Lu Zhou teasingly.

If it weren't for the color and sparse amount of hair reminding Lu Zhou of his age, Lu Zhou almost couldn't help but think that he was not talking to a sixty-year-old man, but to a peer.

Truth be told, it's not a very fun experience.

Especially for an older young man who is running for three, people can't help but have a doubt about whether they are already old and decrepit.

However, what Lu Zhou didn't expect was that his unintentional move would bring such a big improvement to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. When you think about it, it's a pleasant feeling.

……

Saturday.

The Climate Action Summit was held as scheduled.

This global event attracted attention from all over the world. Not only because high-level leaders from all over the world will attend this grand event, but also because Academician Lu, who won the second Nobel Prize in Stockholm, is standing on the podium and delivering a speech on behalf of China.

In fact, environmental protection is not Lu Zhou's area of expertise, and he has no specific research on how to improve the atmospheric environment. But from a non-professional point of view, he felt that he could still say something.

The camera is all focused on him.

Lu Zhou could feel that the moment he stood on the podium, the high-level officials of other countries all stopped talking and looked at him with tentative eyes.

In addition to this, there are also a number of well-known environmentalists who have been invited to come.

These include the school boycotts who were popular a few years ago, the representatives of Greenpeace, which is now in the limelight, and a series of extreme environmentalists.

Of course, the most excited are the reporters who stand against the wall.

Almost as soon as Lu Zhou stepped into this room, the shutter in their hands was already pressed like a windmill.

However, these trivial things did not have any impact on Lu Zhou.

This was not the first time he had a briefing meeting, and instead of being nervous, he was a little accustomed to standing here.

Stretching out his hand to straighten the microphone, Lu Zhou nodded slightly to the audience, then cleared his throat and said in a steady tone.

"It's an honor to stand here, and it's an honor to be able to represent my country and present this answer sheet to the world."

Gently shaking the speech in his hand, Lu Zhou made a friendly smile on his face and continued in a gentle tone facing the camera.

"This is my second speech after the Nobel Prize, and I believe everyone has already understood the theme of this speech in advance, so I will not go into too much detail, but only make a simple refinement."

"That's what we've done in the last five years."

"And about this, I want to summarize it with a number five," Lu Zhou paused at this point and continued, "Five controllable fusion reactors have been successfully ignited, and the energy from controlled fusion has benefited at least one-fifth of the world's population. At the same time, in five years, we have eliminated more than 90 percent of thermal power and replaced more than 50 percent of gasoline-powered vehicles, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels to the level of half a century ago. ”

"And this is unprecedented in the history of human development."

"Not only that, but we are not satisfied with what we have achieved on our mission, we have pushed clean energy to Southeast Asia, along the ancient Silk Road, and spread the convenience of technology to further afield, just as our ancestors did."

"Civilized countries spread civilization, barbaric countries spread barbarism, and as all of us can see, we have fulfilled our responsibilities and set an example for the cause of building a community with a shared future for mankind, and we will continue to do so."

"Thank you!"

At the end of the speech, the audience burst into applause.

According to the process, Lu Zhou, who had fulfilled his duties as a "mascot", nodded lightly and was about to step off the stage. However, at this moment, a hand was suddenly raised in the audience.

I saw a girl in green clothes and a green baseball cap, standing up with her hands held high, and the comer spoke unkindly.

"May I ask questions?"

"It seems that I have no chance to refuse," although he didn't know why the girl's eyes were obviously hostile, Lu Zhou still looked at her with a good look and nodded lightly, and said softly, "For the sake of easy salutation, can I ask your name?" ”

"Grea, you can call me that," the girl did not hide the hostility in her eyes, looked at Lu Zhou and continued, "May I ask Mr. Lu Zhou, in your opinion, the development of lunar resources can also be regarded as one of your country's contributions to the world?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Of course. ”

As if grasping the handle, the girl's shoulders trembled with excitement and continued aggressively.

"How dare you take it for granted!"

"I've heard that the overuse of the moon's resources can affect the earth's tidal environment, leaving fish unable to find a home to spawn, dolphins disoriented, and permanent damage to the marine ecosystem! Why can't we cherish this only home and do more things that make it better, instead of exporting our terrible troubles to other places? ”

Lu Zhou waited quietly for her to finish.

"It seems that you have heard a lot of things, so, have you studied anything other than what you have heard?"

It seemed that she was stopped by this sentence, and it seemed that she didn't understand the true meaning of the research, and the girl was stunned.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Zhou smiled faintly and continued.

"It looks like you should be doing well in liberal arts, just a little lacking in scientific thinking."

Looking at the girl with an excited expression, Lu Zhou was not angry, and the smile on his face was a little pity.

After thinking for about two seconds, he continued.

"If the moon disappears in an instant, the kind of thing you are talking about is indeed possible, and even the waves will flood our coastal cities in an instant. But if it were a slow gradual process, this kind of thing wouldn't exist at all. Not to mention, our exploitation of the moon's resources is only scratching the surface, and living beings naturally adapt to changes in their environment, just as they have been doing for thousands of years. ”

As if she was not satisfied with this explanation, the girl trembled angrily and stared at Lu Zhou standing on the stage.

But why do we force those beings to adapt to the problems we bring? Is it just for our own selfish desires? ”

The high-ranking officials of other countries sitting in the audience were about to fall asleep listening to Lu Zhou's bragging, but now they were in good spirits again, looking at Lu Zhou curiously and even playfully, ready to see how he planned to end.

However, what they expected did not happen.

In the face of the girl's accusations, Lu Zhou's reaction was very calm, and there was not even the slightest wave of emotion.

"Do you think it's a selfish desire to let more people live?" Looking at the girl, Lu Zhou continued, "Or do you think that as long as the status quo remains unchanged, or retreats to the primitive society of slash-and-burn, you can achieve permanent harmony between man and nature?" ”

"Can't we—"

"Stop dreaming."

Interrupting her, Lu Zhou looked at the girl expressionlessly, but his gaze passed through the almost distorted face, and also through the people behind her who were also wearing green vests, or supporting or taking advantage of her.

In a voice of pure reason, he continued.

"The contradiction that any life will face in the process of reproduction is the lack of living space. As the global population continues to grow, expanding our borders into outer space is a matter of time and the only way out. ”

"It's not a joke."

"We can't stay in the cradle for the rest of our lives, even if it's so comfortable, so comfortable that it's hard to find an exact replacement in other star systems. But it is undeniable that there is a limit to what it can bear. ”

"The day when we reach the tipping point may be postponed, but it will eventually come, and the exploration of outer space is not so much a selfish attempt as a kind of self-help for long-term reasons."

"Yes, sooner or later we'll have to export our troubles to space."

As he spoke, Lu Zhou glanced at the camera on the wall, and then took a deep look at the high-level officials of various countries who were exchanging glances with each other in the audience, as well as other non-governmental people who unconsciously held their breath and fell into deep thought.

"It's not about satisfying your own desires, friends."

"It's an expedition of necessity."
