Chapter 366: The Prelude
After a few days, Lu Qiujian came to Switzerland again, but this time he came to Zurich, not Geneva, where CERN is located, where the 15th FIFA World Footballer of the Year award will be held.
As a result, Lu Qiujian defeated Brazilian star Ronaldinho again in the selection of this award, and his dream of winning the award was shattered.
Lu Qiujian pondered that the reason why he was able to win the award was not only because he did well in last season's competition, but also because FIFA used his personal good image to promote.
Winning the European Ballon d'Or last month, and this time winning the World Footballer of the Year, Luciu became the seventh player to win both awards in the same year, following Van Basten in '92/Robert Baggio in '93, George Weah in '95, Ronaldo in '97 and '02, Zinedine Zidane in '98 and Rivaldo in '99.
So, the day after he won the award, the front page of the world's major sports media published the news! Liu Yuzhou's phone was once again flooded by calls from major sponsors, but unfortunately they still did not get the results they wanted.
This time, however, the Chinese media behaved a little unusually, and the sports media still hyped up the significance of Lu Qiujian's victory as the World Footballer of the Year, but the official media downplayed the news, and instead turned out Lu Qiujian's speeches at the University of Tokyo and Beijing Normal University and interpreted them at great length.
When Liu Yuzhou received this news, he immediately notified Lu Qiujian, and Lu Qiujian immediately opened the Internet to search for relevant information.
"Ah, isn't this a show filmed by the three of them?" Lu Qiujian looked at his passionate speech in the auditorium of Beijing Normal University in the video and said, I have to say that the photographer of the imperial court still has a few brushes, and the people in the video look much more mature and stable than themselves in reality, they obviously did post-processing, so as not to make people feel distrustful because of their age and too immature face.
After Lu Qiujian fast-forwarded the video, he opened the picture of a certain newspaper and saw that the front page of the newspaper had such an eye-catching headline as "21 st Century -- A Century Belonging to Space." They published almost the full text of Lu Qiujian's speech, and found a number of experts to interpret Lu Qiujian's speech.
The Youth Daily also put this topic in the most conspicuous position, recounting several major breakthroughs in the process of human exploration of the universe, from Gagarin's first entry into space to Armstrong's landing on the moon, from the Voyager probe to the International Space Station, from the Hubble Space Telescope to the Shenzhou series of spacecraft.
"Science and Technology News" pointed out the various technologies needed by human beings to enter space, and listed the achievements that human beings have made in these fields, and finally gave people the view that the space age does not seem to be far away from human beings.
Some online media outlets have also joined the craze, and of course, in order to attract attention, they have unearthed a lot of vague rumors in addition to these regular reports, such as the 1977 Ohio radio telescope received a wow signal, and the 1947 Roswell incident. The legendary fifty-one districts of the rice country and so on.
They seem to be showing that humanity is not alone in the universe, and that in order to meet the upcoming challenges, humanity must develop space technology as soon as possible, so as not to be powerless to deal with it by then.
The craze lasted for several days, and the government finally took a stand, and an official at the Ministry of Science and Technology said ambiguously that the government seemed to be considering speeding up the progress of the space exploration program, which for a time attracted widespread attention from the Chinese people.
It seems that the elder group has been tempted by their own plan? Is this the beginning of the work of covering up the momentum? Lu Qiujian looked at these reports and fell into thought.
So should I also make some responses? Lu Qiujian pondered it carefully, and slightly revealed some tone when he was interviewed by a domestic reporter through the Internet.
Li Meng, a female reporter from Youth Daily, immediately entered the message in the dialog box after receiving Lu Qiujian's reply. "Dr. Lu, what do you think of the rumors of the Ministry of Science and Technology about speeding up the space exploration program of China?"
"This is a great thing for the whole of humanity, since the collapse of the Red Empire, the United States has no rivals in the world. As a result, the pace of mankind's space exploration has slowed down! Now that our country's economy is developing, it is time to carry out its own exploration plan!" Lu Qiujian first affirmed this news, and then expressed his support. "I am also very interested in this project, and if the country needs it, I will return to my country as soon as I graduate to participate in this great project!"
Tomorrow's front page is here! Li Meng clenched his fists. Then he asked, "But Dr. Lui, your previous research seems to be more theoretical, while the space exploration program is more application-oriented, doesn't that bother you?"
"That being said, but the space exploration program also needs theoretical guidance, and my foundation in mathematics and physics is not bad, let me be cheeky to say, I think China still needs talents like me!"
As soon as this news was published, the Ministry of Science and Technology immediately responded, saying that for a well-known scholar at home and abroad like Dr. Lu Qiujian, we very much welcome him to participate in our project.
As a result, the two sides began to shout through the media channels, so that China's space exploration program once again attracted widespread attention, and everyone from the United States government to Chinese university students were talking about this issue enthusiastically.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the recent moves of the Chinese government?" In the White House conference room, President Xiao Cong and his think tank gathered together, and the projector in front of the conference table was full of reports on the space exploration program.
"Although China's space technology has reached the world's first-class level in some fields, its overall development is still lagging behind, and it will not pose a threat to us for at least 20 years!" This is thinking that they have found an opportunity, "I think it would be a good thing for us that they have invested money in these fields! It would be nice if they could drag down China like the Star Wars program!"
"So, what do you think of this person!" the staff brought up a photo of Lu Qiujian, "Does he have the ability to improve the level of science and technology in Huaguo in a short period of time?" (To be continued.) )
