Chapter 247: Opening Ceremony
In the past two days, Sun Hu and Liu Lang have been inseparable, and many things Liu Lang has done have puzzled him, not because he doesn't understand, but because he can't explain it at all.
A five-year-old child, full of whimsical ideas, but also convinced all kinds of big people, this is an incomprehensible thing in itself, in addition, Liu Lang has to read books until late every night, others read books, that is read line by line, and I can't read much after a few hours, how does Liu Lang read books? It is page by page, and I finish reading a book in half an hour.
Can people do this? Anyway, Sun Hu can't do it, he thinks that no one can do it, and I am afraid that only Liu Lang can do it in the world.
"Brother Sun, do you think I have a point?"
Liu Lang asked with a smile.
"I haven't read many books, so I don't know what you're talking about, but looking at the looks of those people, you must have a point, but I'm curious, how do you, a five-year-old child, know things that those old men in their sixties don't understand?"
"Hehe......!"
Liu Lang pursed his lips.
That's right, he has indeed been a little "excessive" in the past two days, especially after seeing Wan An, his performance is indeed beyond the scope of a prodigy, Huo Tianting and Mu Xiaohu have been in contact with him, and they know a lot about Liu Lang's "superhuman" side, but Sun Hu, Mo Lan and Wan Jia's father and son have only just come into contact with themselves, and even Sun Hu, a person who doesn't study much, can see the problem, let alone the other three.
"Brother Sun, if you say that I am the one who came back from the future, do you believe it?"
Liu Lang said with a smile.
"What does the future look like?"
Sun Hu was puzzled.
"The future! The future is as I said, the country is rich and strong, the people are happy, even the Americans dare not look down on us, and those countries in the West take the initiative to make friends with us!"
Liu Lang replied.
"Is the future really that good? I really hope that I can live to the future era and see a rich and powerful country with my own eyes. ”
Sun Hu didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Lang's words, but looked forward to that future era.
It's so casual to talk to "uneducated" people, even if Liu Lang tells the truth to the other party, there is no need to worry.
"Liu Lang, since you are coming back from the future, then build the country well, build the country into the way it will be in the future, let us all live a good life, so that the enemy will no longer dare to bully us, and let my comrades-in-arms no longer sacrifice and shed blood!"
Sun Hu said solemnly.
Liu Lang also felt the patriotic heart in the other party's heart, although he didn't have much culture, but his feelings for the country, even he was afraid that he couldn't compare, Sun Hu dared to sacrifice his life for the country, can he Liu Lang do this?
"Brother Sun, in the future, our country already has the most advanced weapons in the world, more advanced than the United States, and the soldiers have inherited your will, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, not even afraid of death, the will of the country's soldiers has been passed on, coupled with advanced weapons, what enemy do you say we can't beat?"
Liu Lang replied solemnly.
"That's good, that's good, it seems that the future is still good, I didn't let my comrades-in-arms sacrifice ......... in vain!"
Liu Lang said that he came to the future, which is a joke, because no one will believe it, but Sun Hu believes it, but Sun Hu didn't think this answer was ridiculous, because he didn't know that this was beyond the scope of science and technology in terms of technology, he only cared about the future of the country, whether the soldiers should work hard for the country like now, as for whether Liu Lang's words were reasonable, he never thought about it.
There is no selfish distraction for the country, this is the legendary pure heart, even if it is Liu Lang, at this moment there is only respect and admiration, without any ridicule, if the country is full of people like Sun Hu, how can the country not be rich and strong? How can the country's rejuvenation not succeed?
"Brother Sun, you will see the day when the country is strong, we are the ......... everyone will!"
In the next two days, no one came to Liu Lang again, Mu Xiaohu Huo Tianting did not show up, it should be a model of Transformers that was a big sell, they couldn't get out, and three days later, the large force of the national delegation arrived, and more than 150 people were stationed in the Olympic Village, and athletes from many other countries gradually began to move in, and the entire Olympic Village became lively all of a sudden, and people of different colors lived in the same place in various languages, and this kind of life can only be done by the Olympic Games.
Except for a very small number of racial elements, the athletes are very good among themselves, especially for Chinese athletes, athletes from many countries first greet each other after learning that the other party is Chinese, and then pose a hand touching the nose while making a screaming sound, this is the classic shape of Xiaolongge, in their cognition every Chinese is a kung fu master.
Chinese athletes naturally didn't know what this posture meant, and thought that the other party was provoking, and a few young people with strong blood and strength almost fought with each other, and in the end, it was Lu Mingzhi who came forward and told everyone the story of Brother Xiaolong abroad, so that they would not make a fuss.
On July 10, 1984, the Mind Olympics, billed by the United States as "the gathering of the world's brightest young people," officially began, and the venue of the competition was in the Hayes Library.
Before the Games, more than 1,000 athletes from more than 50 countries participating in the competition gathered in the square outside the library for a brief opening ceremony.
Compared with the official Olympic Games, the intellectual Olympics is naturally much simpler, with the flags of more than 50 countries fluttering in the square, and Liu Lang saw that most of the countries that came to participate in the competition were economically developed countries, which was also normal, because education needed money to support.
Don't look at China is very poor now, but the basic education of primary, middle and high schools is very complete, even in that chaotic era, these basic education has never stopped, and these are still free.
And many poor countries in the world even these basic education systems are very imperfect, only the rich can enjoy education, the poor can only be poor forever, basically there is no chance to turn over, the most obvious is the three countries next door, the population is large, but still implement the primitive caste system, the upper caste family generations of power, the lower caste can only be poor forever, in addition, there are many countries in the midst of war, perennial war so that the people can not even eat, let alone go to school.
It can be said that the countries that can participate in the intellectual Olympics are basically countries with relatively good future economies, such as the United States, Germany, France, island countries, and many countries in Northern Europe, only Egypt has sent a team in Africa, and there are only three countries in South America.
Naturally, the US delegation had the largest number, with more than 100 people, more than three times the size of the Chinese delegation.
An Olympic vice president attended the opening ceremony, and Liu Lang regretted not seeing Samaranch, an old friend of the Chinese, who is now the president of the Olympic Committee, and his contacts with China have just begun.
Then there's the white guy named Jordan, the secretary general of the São Paulo Cultural Federation, who is about sixty years old.
"Jordan's name is amazing!"
Hearing this name, Liu Lang remembered, the '84 Olympics was the first World Series trip of the basketball god, and he led the U.S. basketball team all the way to win the championship, and no one knew how high his future achievements would be.
Wan An also participated in the opening ceremony as a sponsor of the Olympic Games, and he is now a well-known figure in the United States, and even a giant company like IBM sees him as a strong opponent, but Liu Lang is not concerned about him, but on the two people not far behind him.
is no one else, one is Bill Gates, who will occupy the position of the world's richest man for many years in the future, and the other is the "Joe Gang", the founder of Apple Inc., who is respected by countless young people as a god.
"After twenty years, these two people can buy a country with a combined value!"
Liu Lang couldn't help but sigh when he saw the two of them.
This era is really interesting, whether at home or abroad, Liu Lang has seen a group of big people who will call for wind and rain in the world in the future, but now they have not yet made a career, and they are all "ordinary people", just like Bill Gates, with messy hair, wearing a casual white shirt, standing at the back of the guests and looking forward on tiptoe, obviously his current "coffee position" is not enough, he can only be at the end.
The same is true for the gang leader of Na Qiao, about thirty years old, with a partial head, although he did not stand at the end, but compared with Wan'an, he is far inferior, there are more than thirty sponsors on the scene, and he can also be ranked in the bottom thirty.
The fate of these people is all in their own minds, what if they find a killer to kill the two of them? Will there be a powerful Microsoft company and Apple that will obscure hundreds of millions of young people in the future?
Liu Lang suddenly had a feeling of omniscience and omnipotence.
"If Wan'an can listen to my advice, I'm afraid that the development of computers in this life will change, and the good future of these two big men will be ruined in my hands!"
These two were god-like existences in his previous life, Liu Lang believed that if this life developed normally, they would still establish their own kingdoms, but now that they have appeared, as long as it is beneficial to their country, he doesn't care about changing history, and he doesn't have any psychological pressure on this.
The opening ceremony was over quickly, and then it was time for the competition.
