67: All our efforts are for one goal! To let China stand tall in the world!
Then, more people noticed that pattern.
But no one could guess what it was.
Many people's necks were already sore from craning.
They kept rubbing their necks.
Yet they refused to lower their heads for even a moment of rest.
To let their necks relax.
They continuously patted their necks gently with their hands.
Then they watched the airship in their sight grow larger and larger.
Growing larger and larger.
That irregular geometric pattern also became clearer and clearer.
Gradually filling everyone's field of vision.
With a crash!
It was like a giant, silent, colorful bubble shattering.
The mirage in the sky suddenly let out a soft sound.
And silently vanished.
The crowd immediately let out an 'Ah!'
As if regretting that they hadn't seen enough.
However, the next moment.
Those fighter jets appeared in their view.
Real fighter jets!
And the massive airship being escorted in the center.
No need to deploy the Sky Curtain anymore!
They were truly flying over!!!!!
They were flying directly towards Dragon Country Square.
The huge formation of fighter jets flew through the sky.
Emitting a muffled thunderous sound.
But the crowd's confusion remained unresolved.
What was the pattern on the other side of the airship???
What did it represent?
Was it another gift for Dragon Country's 100th Anniversary Celebration?
...In an ordinary residential complex.
Zhao Cheng suddenly shot up from his seat.
Tears were welling up in his eyes due to excitement.
"Teacher!"
"Teacher! Look!"
"That's!!!"
"Is that a Nuclear Reactor??"
Liu Chengping also stood up abruptly.
Because he stood up too quickly, he stumbled.
He almost fell over.
This brought another round of nagging from his spouse.
"Old Liu, what are you doing?"
"You're already so old!"
"Don't you know how old you are now?"
Liu Chengping pinched the Oxygen Mask in front of his nose.
Breathing in deeply.
The white mist he exhaled condensed onto the Oxygen Mask.
It didn't dissipate at all.
Revealing his rapid breathing and agitated state of mind.
Zhao Cheng saw this scene.
He smiled.
But tears streamed down his face as he smiled.
"Teacher!"
Zhao Cheng said:
"I still remember the first class I took with you."
"What you told me."
"Do you remember?"
Without waiting for Liu Chengping to speak.
Zhao Cheng had already spoken.
Teacher, you once said:
"We researchers have no other pursuit than to hope that in the field we excel at,"
"We can contribute our strength to the country and the common people."
As he said this.
Liu Chengping violently ripped off his Oxygen Mask.
His eyes were already filled with hot tears.
He began to shout loudly along with Zhao Cheng.
Their voices converged.
Echoing repeatedly in the room.
"To allow our Dragon Country people to stand up, never again to be sanctioned by others,"
"To make those who once sanctioned us,"
"All look up and act according to our mood!"
The spouse beside them exchanged a look with Zhao Cheng's wife.
Wondering what madness these two were suddenly afflicted with??
After Liu Chengping finished speaking.
He looked at Zhao Cheng.
The latter was also looking at his mentor.
They both spoke out again simultaneously.
"Controllable Nuclear Fusion!"
"It's a success!!!"
...On the plaza of Dragon Country.
Everyone saw the massive airship slowly flying over the plaza.
The area where the military parade had been held before.
A huge patch of space was empty.
Everyone didn't know what was supposed to happen.
At this moment, everyone realized.
This was where the airship was going to dock.
The airship began to descend slowly.
And Elder Sun, standing on the Red Tower, had been wearing a smile all along.
His smile carried an irrepressible anticipation.
And now, regarding what the pattern on the other side of the airship represented?
That desire to know the answer grew even more fervent.
Seeing that the airship was about to land.
Elder Sun began to speak into the microphone in front of him.
"Citizens of Dragon Country."
At this moment, everyone's attention was once again captured by Elder Sun's words.
They all looked towards Elder Sun in unison.
And the giant airship was still continuously descending.
Such a massive fuselage.
Required a certain amount of time.
Elder Sun's voice continued to ring out.
Resounding across the plaza of Dragon Country.
Through the signal.
It echoed across all the lands of Dragon Country.
"In our Dragon Country!"
"There has always been a group of Scientists."
"Research workers."
"They work day and night for our stability and prosperity."
"No matter what difficulties they encounter."
"They will overcome them!"
"They work tirelessly."
"Bidding farewell to their parents, their wives,"
"Their relatives,"
"Working incessantly."
"With only one objective."
"That is, from now on, Dragon Country will,"
"Stand up in the world!"
Saying this!
An unprecedented aura radiated from Elder Sun's eyes.
This kind of aura hadn't been seen for many years.
He looked at everyone in the plaza.
And simultaneously looked at everyone in front of their televisions.
"That is!"
"Our Dragon Country must stand tall in the world!"
As his voice fell!
The entire plaza fell silent.
Then, suddenly, formations of Soldiers appeared.
Everyone had serious expressions.
Holding Ceremonial Rifles loaded with blanks.
Only sound, no bullets.
The person leading the formation began to shout:
"Fire Salute!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The muzzles pointed straight into the air.
While firing the salute.
The formation marched in perfect step.
Towards the spot where the airship was about to land... Inside the White House of the USA.
Biden watched the scene with a grave expression.
Seated beside him were the Minister of National Defense.
The Director of the Intelligence Agency.
The Vice President.
The Secretary of State.
And the nuclear fusion expert.
They were all watching the Dragon Country live broadcast with wide eyes.
The nuclear fusion expert spoke first.
"The pattern on that airship looks like a Nuclear Reactor."
As his words fell, a voice sounded.
Presenting a counter-argument.
The owner of this voice was on the giant video screen.
He was an old man, sitting next to the President of Yizhi Country, Franco.
"Based on my many years of experience,"
"The probability of it being a Nuclear Reactor is very high."
"However..."
Before the old man finished speaking.
Another voice interjected.
Also an old person, but an elderly woman.
She was sitting next to the Prime Minister of United Kingdom, Surak.
"However, this kind of Nuclear Reactor is too strange."
"It doesn't conform to the external appearance of mainstream Nuclear Reactors!"
"Unless..."
Another voice continued her sentence.
This was a middle-aged man.
As the youngest expert in the field of nuclear fusion research.
The man was sitting next to Aten Wenshiong.
He said:
"Unless it was intentionally made to look this strange,"
"Just to confuse our sight,"
"And disrupt our research direction!"
"Exactly!" The expert beside Biden also agreed.
This was a collective video conference of all nations in the world's most powerful alliance.
Everyone had brought their most capable experts.
This time, Biden did not want to be fooled by Dragon Country again.
He needed to know exactly what Dragon Country was doing now.
And what it would do.
He would present a concrete response plan!
At this moment, another voice came through the video link.
"There is one more possibility!!!"
