The Opening Ceremony of the International Lunar Hadron Collider Symposium Ended Successfully, and Academician Lu delivered an important speech at the Shangjing City Hall on behalf of the Chinese academic community with the title of "Witnessing Our Common Prosperity"

For Renren Daily, the headline of today's headline is a bit extraordinarily long.

And the amount of information behind the headline, like its length, stunned all who saw the paper.

The Lunar Hadron Collider construction project will start in a month!

The total budget of the project is 20 billion US dollars!

More than 200 institutes of high energy physics and related research institutes around the world will participate in the project!

These include CERN, the world's center for physics, and Princeton's Department of Physics, which is famous for its academic theory and mathematical physics, as well as other well-known world-class research institutes that are not only known to insiders, but also to laymen.

Of course, it's not just these participants who surprise people the most.

What is really surprising is that out of the total budget of 20 billion US dollars, Huaguo, as the initiator of the project, has only contributed 10 billion US dollars.

And among the remaining 10 billion dollars, there are actually 5 billion of the Americans?!

Almost as soon as this newspaper came out, relevant discussions have been swiped on the scarf and major current affairs BBS......

[The sun is coming out in the west, and the Americans can still be so kind? 】

[Imperialism does not die in its heart, and there must be something strange in it. Add me to this comment and let Academician Lu see it! (fist) (fist)】

[This, this is incredible...... If I'm not mistaken, the space race was fought hard last year, why did the Yankees give in this year? (surprised) (surprised)】

[In any case, the research of basic disciplines will benefit the entire human society, and it is always good to have one more country to share the funds.] The reason why the United States participates is probably because it does not want its own physics community to be marginalized too far by the world's physics community......]

[I'm afraid that they will take the opportunity to make some excessive demands.] 】

[Then kick them out!] 】

The news of "Renren Daily" has sparked a considerable degree of heated discussion on the Internet, and keywords on this topic have been on the top of the hot search.

Soon, not only "Renren Daily", but almost all domestic news media platforms were invariably occupied by the news related to this grand event of physics and aerospace engineering.

A mega-engineering project involving more than 50 major countries around the world......

A futuristic project that connects the past and the future of human history......

All of this is actually led by Huaguo.

More than a decade ago, or even a few years ago, this was unimaginable to the vast majority of people.

After all, when they were researching controlled fusion, they had just been forced to withdraw from the group by the United States with a group of younger brothers. And now, these people who once fell into the well have not only become their "little brothers", but also come to the door with banknotes in their hands to ask for cooperation, such a change in identity and status really makes people sigh for a while.

Although no matter what kind of news, there must be some discordant voices, but seeing the motherland's international influence getting stronger and stronger, the vast majority of people are still gratified by this.

$10 billion is not a small number, but it is worth it when you think about the opportunity to get scientists from all over the world to work for us.

However, compared to the Chinese media, which cheered and almost sang in the newspapers, the North American media seemed less happy.

The media that support globalism is fine, but for those who stand conservative, the White House's move is like a slap in the face.

Although they were mentally prepared for the bottom line of those mercenary and cunning politicians, they still didn't expect these people to be able to do such a thing.

A well-known current affairs talk show host complained in front of all the audience on the latest episode of the show.

"Don't those stupid asses on Capitol Hill know how to use their brains? Hua Guo is our opponent in the space race! They actually spent five billion dollars to support their project! It's insane! ”

China is a fierce rival to the United States for space supremacy!

However, the White House actually paid for the opponent to build this Lunar Hadron Collider!

In the eyes of many conservatives in North America, their president must be insane!

As a result, people even organized marches and took to the streets, holding high slogans and shouting slogans to protest the White House decision.

"The madmen of the Western Pacific want to build a collider on the moon! This is the biggest Ponzi scheme of the century! ”

"We could have invested this money in people's livelihood! There are still many people in the United States who are facing the dilemma of losing their jobs, do you know how many homeless people are in the subway in Los Angeles? Have you parliamentarians been there? ”

“……”

The index finger gently flicked the blinds of the window to let in a ray of sunlight into the somewhat dimly lit room, and as he watched the procession pass through the street, Vice President Mike cursed in a low voice.

"These idiots...... The sesame-sized brain is full of paste, and he doesn't even know where the problem is, only that he is spinning around in the gutter like a fly. ”

In response to China's Lunar Orbit Construction Committee and a series of lunar landing initiatives, the previous president signed an executive order to rebuild the National Space Council (NSC), under which the vice president would also serve as chairman of the NSC committee, responsible for restarting the U.S. national moon landing program and reasserting U.S. hegemony in space.

Although it is nice to see his power rise and no longer just a mascot in the White House, Mike has hardly been happy about his job since taking over the NSC.

There is no other reason.

From a layman's point of view, it is almost impossible to re-establish US hegemony in space.

All they can do now is reduce their losses.

While opening up the domestic market as much as possible and participating in Chinese-led scientific research projects, they held their only position and slowly recovered what they had lost......

These rabble, who only know about protest but can't think of a way to solve the problem, will never know what kind of sacrifice they have made!

Mike's fists clenched slightly, but just then, the office door opened, and a tall, lanky man in a suit walked in with a document.

"If your words are heard by the New York Times, tomorrow's headlines will probably have to be changed from Academician Lu to your name."

"It's not funny," Mike frowned slightly as he glanced at his secretary, and then his gaze fell on the document he had tucked under his armpit, "What's the matter?" ”

Restrained his smiling expression, the secretary said solemnly.

"We might be in trouble."

Mike asked with a blank face.

"What trouble."

"Look at this."

As he spoke, the secretary placed the document under his arm on the table.

Mike frowned slightly, looking towards the file on the table.

What I saw on the table was an anonymous letter.

In the lower right corner of the anonymous letter, a black eagle is reflected, clutching an American assault rifle under its talons.

All of these symbols, and the black undertones, exude an unsettling atmosphere.

Mike reached out and touched the envelope, but quickly retracted it.

"Rest assured, the envelope has been inspected at the sender's receiver and nothing strange has been put in." Shrugging his shoulders, the secretary opened the letter in front of Mike and gently shoved it in front of him.

With his eyes narrowing slightly, Mike looked at the contents of the letter.

[Hello Mr. Mike, Honorable Mr. Vice President and Chairman of the NSC Committee, we are predatory eagles, a group of obscure little people.] Or you can call us a bunch of aspiring hackers. 】

[We know very well that information technology should not be used for terrorism, so even though we watched the great Star-Spangled Banner retreat in the arena of spaceflight, we still maintained the greatest restraint and chose to remain silent. 】

[However, human patience has a limit, when watching our trust be betrayed little by little, watching the Star-Spangled Banner slide step by step into the abyss, especially those who act as standard-bearers are taking the initiative to lower the flag for it...... We realized that we could not afford to remain silent like this any longer. 】

[In the face of the great powers, you have chosen to give in and compromise, then we will use our own way to stop this stupid meeting and stop your traitorous behavior. 】

[This is a war, and there is no innocent person in the face of war. 】

We will not stop our actions until you meet our demands and suspend our cooperation with the Chinese. 】

There was a mysterious silence in the office.

About five minutes had passed, and the secretary glanced at his watch, then took a deep breath and looked at the vice president.

“…… How do we do that? ”

Mike was silent for a moment, then suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched.

Then he reached out and grabbed the letter, and threw it back into his secretary's arms as if it were garbage.

"Take it to the FBI guys."

Looking at the secretary who hurriedly took the letter, Mike said in a violent tone.

"Don't bother me with the little things that are big with sesame seeds in the future!"

"Yes......"

Looking at Mike, who was in a bad mood, the secretary quickly exited the office with the letter.

Looking at the reclosed office door, Mike's right fist slammed into the desk before slumping back into his office chair.

Hacker?

Traitorous?

The parade is stupid enough, and even the "war" is coming......

What are you kidding internationally......

Are these idiots playing a game between great powers?!

But......

These gradually intensified emotions made Mike a little alarmed.

While the president and his staff have systematically analysed the international situation and made the least risky judgment, they seem to have somewhat underestimated the reaction of public opinion.

Raising his right hand with a faint pain and pinching his eyebrows, he reached out and grabbed the landline phone on his desk and called the president's office.

While it is uncertain whether the president received the letter, he must report it immediately.

In addition, there is also a US delegation that is in Beijing to attend the seminar.

Maybe he should have informed Director Carson in a moment that they should be a little tougher at the meeting.

At the very least, let their people see that they are not "giving in......
