China informed the international community about the military drill, long before the anti-terrorism exercise mission began.
However, most people heard about the aerospace forces “special exercise drill” the day after the exercise drill was finished.
In addition to letting the airborne troops test the newly installed “Thunder” airborne module, the other mission objective was to deter and scare enemies.
In order to fully portray the “jump of the century” on camera, CTV news reporters responsible for covering the story made great efforts to capture every moment.
Not only did they use cinematic shooting techniques and editing, but they also captured various angles of the airborne capsule breaking through the atmosphere by placing cameras inside the capsule.
Unsurprisingly, the results were quite amazing.
The news anchor made a brief introduction, followed by a half-minute video of the launch process, capturing everyone’s attention.
As the video showed the airborne capsule being “released” from outer space, then breaking through the atmosphere, people’s eyes were glued to their televisions.
There was no need for any special effects.
It looked like someone out of a blockbuster movie!
The close-up shots of the airborne capsule hitting the ground, as well as the airborne soldiers appearing out of the cloud of smoke, was like the climax of a movie!
Because of this, halfway through the broadcast, the discussions already began flooding in on the Internet.
[What the f*ck! Outer space soldiers? When did the aerospace forces get this nutty?!]
[I’m shook! Is this really a real-life exercise? It’s not a movie? I gotta go smoke a cigarette and calm down.]
[Our future is in the stars!!!]
[This is something out of a Mission Impossible movie!]
[I’m guessing Amazon is thinking about how to use this technology for world-wide delivery in under an hour!]
[Looks like NASA is going to go crazy, they’ve stayed quiet all day. It’s like the aerospace stock market was hit with a tornado.]
No one knew that the Air Force Equipment Department had this kind of technology up their sleeves.
Global deployment in under an hour.
Airborne at an altitude of 110 kilometers.
Until a few hours ago, this sounded like a ridiculous concept, something out of a science fiction movie.
Even after seeing the video with their own eyes, some people still couldn’t believe this was real.
Their common sense told them that this was just a “commercial” for the next upcoming science-fiction blockbuster…
It made sense that they felt this way.
The editing done on the video didn’t look like a news story at all; it looked like a movie clip.
If they added some background music, the clip could totally be used as an advertisement for the aerospace forces.
Speaking of which, some people downloaded the video, added some background music, and uploaded it to YouTube. It received millions of views within a day.
Some foreigners asked in the comments section which movie the clip was from.
This video traveled from Facebook to Instagram to Twitter, until people finally realized that this wasn’t a movie at all…
In addition to the half-minute video featuring the 20 orbital paratrooper soldiers, the CTV reporters also recorded B-roll footage of the “Thunderbird aerospaceplane”, as well as the “Great Wall” space carrier.
The “Thunder” capsule descending from the sky deterred people with bad intentions.
On the other hand, it also destroyed many conspiracies.
If China had a team of soldiers that could arrive at any location on Earth within an hour, no one would have enough time to react…
Thus, when faced with such an opponent, there were many things that had to be reconsidered…
…
Time quickly flew by.
It was already mid-July.
After the exercise mission ended, Lu Zhou left the training base and went back home. He dedicated almost all of his time to researching Riemann’s hypothesis.
Even though no one was pressuring him to create any breakthroughs, the closer it got to August, the more Lu Zhou felt like he was approaching a deadline.
This never happened to him before.
Even though he had made significant progress, he was still stuck in the same spot.
He sat in his study room and downloaded the latest research from the analytic number theory section on arXiv. He closed his browser and was about to begin today’s research.
However, a text bubble appeared on the lower right corner of his screen.
Xiao Ai: [Master, you have mail! (✿゚▽゚)]
Lu Zhou: “Open it for me… Also, bring a cup of coffee to the study room.”
Xiao Ai: [Okay, Master! (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧]
It seemed like Xiao Ai had an infinite amount of energy.
Lu Zhou smiled at the message and could feel his mood going up.
His eyes turned toward the screen, and he recognized the email address. It was the high school student he met at the Yan University mathematics center.
Speaking of which, it was already mid-July. Even though Lu Zhou didn’t pay close attention to the competition, he still heard that the competition had ended.
Li Mo: [Sir! I got a gold medal, you promised me, I’m your student now!]
Gold medal?
This kid’s not bad.
Lu Zhou remembered he only casually made the promise to make the kid go away; he didn’t expect the kid to actually win a gold medal.
I don’t really like his arrogant attitude, but anyone that wins an IMO gold medal is worth cultivating.
Lu Zhou pondered for a second and wrote a reply.
[Apply to Jin Ling University.]
He finished typing and clicked send.
Lu Zhou was about to close his email when he saw another email appear in his mailbox.
[Okay, teacher! Oh yeah, what books should I read for the summer? I plan on preparing for university classes.]
Lu Zhou: “…”
Even though Lu Zhou didn’t want to reply, he still sent a reply.
[Just go twiddle your thumbs.]
Li Mo: [… ???]
Lu Zhou sighed and typed another reply.
[Take your time and enjoy yourself. These two months are going to be the best days of your life. You’ll have plenty of time to read books once you are in university. Do something out of your element, go traveling or something.]
The same thing happened to Lu Zhou.
Ever since he entered university campus, it was like his life did a 180-degree change; he hadn’t truly taken a break in years.
Of course, Lu Zhou loved what he was doing, research was his favorite thing to do.
However, occasionally, he would feel nostalgic about his carefree days.
Li Mo: [Okay, teacher! I don’t understand why, but I’ll listen to your advice!]
Lu Zhou nodded his head with approval.
Not bad, a bit cocky, but at least he’s obedient.
He was about to close his email and get back to research when he suddenly remembered something important. Thus, he sent another email.
[Oh yeah, try not to visit spiritual and religious countries.]
Li Mo: [Why?]
Lu Zhou: [You might turn to the dark side and leave mathematics.]
Li Mo: […?]
