Zhongshan International's villa.

When he returned home from a day's work, Lu Zhou had just pushed open the door and watched a drone hit him with a huge "QAQ" on top of it.

Xiao Ai: [Master! QAQ】

His hair was blown to the side by the drone's air current, and Lu Zhou looked at Xiao Ai with a confused expression.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Ai: [There is a strange woman, she does some strange things as soon as she enters the door. QAQ】

What the hell is something weird?

After changing his shoes, Lu Zhou was curiously about to go to the kitchen to take a look, when he heard light footsteps around the corner of the corridor.

"You're back?"

Walking over from the direction of the kitchen with a plate of braised fish, Chen Yushan looked at him with a heartwarming smile on her face and said jokingly, "I used the kitchen on my own initiative, don't you mind?" ”

"I'm sure there is probably no man in this world who will mind ......" Holding Xiao Ai who was protesting with his hand, Lu Zhou asked strangely, "You got off work so early today?" ”

"I wanted to surprise you, so I left early."

“…… Surprise? ”

"You can't even forget your birthday, do you?"

Birthday?

In an instant, a sudden expression appeared on Lu Zhou's face.

Bending the corners of her lips towards Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan said teasingly.

"As soon as I looked at your expression, I knew you must have forgotten, but I'm glad I remember."

“…… Yushan. ”

"Shhh...... Don't be so numb," Hearing the voice, Chen Yushan couldn't help but get goosebumps, and rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat!" ”

Nodding heavily, Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"Hmmm! I'll go! ”

Xiao Ai: [(╯‵□′)╯(┴─┴]

Candles are planted in the cake, and birthday songs blow out the flame of blessing.

Looking at the numbers printed on the candles, Lu Zhou, who made a birthday wish, couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Time flies.

Although this was not the first time he felt this way, the moment he blew out the candle still made him feel like an arrow in his heart.

It's really a blink of an eye, and he has gone from a young boy to a young man.

Fortunately, these 12 years have not been wasted or disappointed.

And in his first year, he can be regarded as a small achievement.

"What did you wish?"

Facing the eyes that flashed with curiosity, Lu Zhou put away his folded hands and said with a smile.

"Isn't there a saying that if you say it, it won't work?"

Chen Yushan said with great interest: "How come? We can achieve it together, isn't that a double blessing? ”

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "Then I'll just say it." ”

Chen Yushan nodded expectantly.

"Uh-huh! Go ahead. ”

I closed my eyes and looked for the feeling when I made a wish.

As if making a wish again, Lu Zhou folded his hands again and spoke.

"At the age of thirty, I want to use the money I have earned over the years to do something that benefits society. Like what...... As an old man suggested to me, I should set up an award under my own name to encourage more young scholars. ”

In fact, the idea did not come on the fly, but had been shaped in his mind a long time ago.

When he received the blessing of the "Goddess of the Lake" on the shore of Lake Mälaren, Lu Zhou made up his mind in his heart.

Although he didn't believe in any gods, he was so happy now that it was time to make a vow.

After hearing Lu Zhou's wish, Chen Yushan pouted.

"I thought it had something to do with me."

Looking at the senior sister who was playing with little emotions, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"Everything related to you, I don't need to place my ethereal birthday wishes, but I hope to realize it through my sincerity."

"When did you become so flamboyant?"

After thinking seriously about this question for a moment, Lu Zhou frowned.

"Is there one?"

“……”

didn't speak, Chen Yushan's cheeks were a little hot, and she turned her head away.

Although she is not the type who is prone to being particularly allergic to sweet words, she always finds it very reassuring to see him say those words seriously.

It was as if she had flipped a switch in her heart.

Ahh......hhh

AWSL！

Lu Zhou: "......?" ”

The candles were blown out, and it was time to cut the cake.

However, looking at the birthday cake, Lu Zhou didn't have a bite to eat.

Because just a few feet away, the table full of food is exuding an enticing aroma, just smelling it makes people salivate, not to mention the visual impact, which almost shines like in the comics.

If there is such a thing as an attribute label, Lu Zhou is sure that there must be an attribute card such as "excellent" or "perfect" next to it.

The storm swept away the sumptuous dinner, and the two sat shoulder to shoulder on the couch as any couple would do.

As for cleaning up the table, Xiao Ai did it for him.

Looking at the picture on TV, the senior sister who seemed to be thinking about her thoughts suddenly whispered.

“…… You're going to Mars this time, and you won't be back until the end of the year. ”

"Well," Lu Zhou nodded, turned his face to look at her and said, "We'll get married as soon as we come back, okay?" ”

"Not good, no sincerity at all."

I didn't expect the senior sister to refuse, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said.

"That'...... Or—"

"Don't!" The index finger pointed at Lu Zhou's lips, interrupting his unfinished words, Chen Yushan glanced at him angrily, "If you say something good, whoever regrets it is a puppy!" Are you going to be a puppy? ”

"This ...... Forget it, it's still a little shameful for me," reading the warmth flowing in his eyes, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Although it may be a little rushed, I swear, I will definitely make you happy." ”

Chen Yushan happily curled the corners of her lips.

"Hmph, I can remember your words...... Hook. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and shook the right hand that was stretched out in front of him.

"Well, the retractor."

……

Since Schultz moved to the Jinling Space Launch Center, there is one more trainee in the training program. With the successive visits of other delegations, Lu Zhou finally met all the members of the expedition he was about to lead.

Although everyone is relatively new to each other, they get along fairly smoothly.

After all, for the sake of the future of human civilization, everyone enthusiastically devoted themselves to the preparations before the launch.

Although Lu Zhou's usual work is getting busier and busier as the departure day approaches, he will still take a little time out of his busy schedule to accompany his fiancée.

At the same time, the voices of discussion on the Internet are constantly fermenting.

In particular, the list of "diplomatic missions" that represent human civilization to Mars to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations has not yet been announced, and many people are speculating about whose name will be in this diplomatic mission.

"I guess the members of the LSPM group will have to go to one! I don't know if you've noticed that detail, but if it weren't for the language skew, the extraterrestrial civilization seems to have indicated that it would have a conversation with the person who solved the ABC conjecture. ”

"I guess it's Academician Lu, the pinnacle of human civilization...... I can't think of anyone else who is more suited to represent the highest level of human civilization. ”

"How is that possible! If I were a high-level person, I would definitely not allow him to go! ”

"Hehe, it's a pity you're not."

"Could it be Perelman? Russia has made a bit of progress with us in the past two years, and he seems to have been working at Jinling University from last year to now, so I can't say that I will send him up. ”

"Unlikely, his words...... No one can persuade him not to say anything about things that he is not interested in. His mental condition is also not very stable, who would dare to send him over with such a person? ”

"Heh, does he want to count a fart, if I'm Pu-"

"Okay, okay, should you be on red alert? Crawl over with a finger movement? Give you the mouse, and you'll be given the command of everything. ”

“……”

The controversy is getting stronger and wider.

is not only the list of the second batch of fire plans, but also the soon-to-be-established "People's Federation", which has also attracted the attention of many people who eat melons and has become a topic of conversation.

Before this, a community with a shared future for mankind has always been an abstract concept, but now it has been given practical significance.

Many of the more radical social science scholars have even put forward bold ideas.

Exchanges with extraterrestrial civilizations will not only greatly improve the technological level of the two civilizations, but also enable new art forms, and even completely change the political ecology of the planet and the concept of traditional frontiers.

For example, Professor Camilla Awen, a well-known economist and sociology scholar at Cambridge University, expressed a very optimistic view in an interview.

"All the achievements made so far in the development of human society are driven by imagination, and contact with extraterrestrial civilizations will broaden our imagination to a new dimension - it turns out that in a certain corner of the universe, there is still a group of creatures that are as intelligent as us, or even more intelligent than us."

"And their production relations will be like nothing we have ever seen."

In addition to the upcoming launch of the second batch of manned landing programs, the Huaguo Lunar Orbit Construction Committee also announced plans for the second batch of large-scale resettlement of Guanghan City.

This time, the size of the emigration was five hundred.

Although there is not much direct and obvious causal relationship in this, people still clearly feel that the discovery of extraterrestrial civilization seems to have put Huaguo's development of lunar resources into the fast lane all of a sudden.

In the face of this rapid change, many people feel a trace of complicated emotions in their hearts.

And it's not just the people of the world.

In the same way, it also includes people born in the land of China.

As if to cater to this emotion, a popular article in the circle of friends has entered the sight of the vast majority of people, and it has also caused people to think about the future......
