Scholar's Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1676: On This Great Day

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The first weekend of July.

For people living on Mars, this was definitely an extraordinary day.

Because on this day, East Asia Communications suddenly announced a piece of breaking news.

After countless days and nights of repeated debugging, the quantum communication network processor located at the Yangtze River Delta city group was officially up and running.

This was the first main server of the quantum communication network, and the information exchange efficiency of the global network would reach an unprecedented height. It was no exaggeration to say that it was on another level compared to the past network model.

Under the framework of Lu’s Distributed Computing Model, each bit of information could be paired with its corresponding qubit in the shortest possible time. Not only that, but the security of information would also rise to a higher level.

The last time such a piece of major news occurred in the field of information engineering was when the first submarine quantum optical cable was completed a century ago. And after 100 years, people finally found a “software” that could match this “hardware”.

Whether it was a coincidence or due to a certain historical inevitability, the causes of these two technological breakthroughs were actually due to the same person...

Compared to the information engineering scholars’ shock towards the “Lu’s Distributed Computing Model”, most people were more interested in something else.

That was this re-woven world wide web, which not only accommodated the world but also expanded its tentacles beyond the Earth-Moon system and incorporated the colonial cities on Mars into its territory.

From today onwards, the people on Mars would no longer have to endure dozens of minutes of a delay from communicating with relatives and friends on Earth.

With the help of stargate technology and holographic imaging technology, they could not only travel on the same wonderful network as citizens living on Earth but could even communicate face-to-face with relatives and friends over a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers.

The Heart of Asia, located on the coastline of the Yangtze River Delta city group, was a huge stadium that overlooked the Pacific Ocean. At this moment, it was crowded with people.

After several months of negotiations, under the joint consultation of various regional alliances, the charter of the Federation of Human Alliance had finally been drafted.

And today, at this important moment in history, Li Guangya, the chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, would speak on behalf of the entire community.

“If we look at the four greatest inventions of the 22nd century, he accounts for two of them.”

Wu Shuhua: “Which two?”

Li Guangya: “Faster than light technology and the quantum communication network.”

As for the other two, robots were probably one of them and the other was debatable. There were too many technologies that could be shortlisted, including the maglev car.

But at this moment, Li Guangya suddenly realized that technically, robots seemed to be related to Lu Zhou as well.

Although this technology was born during his dormancy period, the company that funded the research and development of this technology was Star Sky Technology and its subsidiary—Zhongshan New Materials.

“What about the space elevator? He did that too.”

“Is that an invention? I prefer to think of it like the Great Wall or the Pyramids... They are miracles in the history of engineering.”

Wu Shuhua looked at Li Guangya, and she suddenly had a weird expression on her face.

She still remembered a year ago, when they first heard the news that Academician Lu was still alive, this guy in front of her said, “We need him as a mascot.”

However, who could have imagined that this “mascot” would not only integrate perfectly into this era, but a year later, he would completely change the way of life for the entire world.

The Human Alliance that fell apart due to his disappearance in the past was once again born on the stage of the international community.

Even though he never spoke a word on behalf of this alliance, all of this was possible because of his existence...

“It’s hard to believe that in our original plans, we were going to resolve the issue of the ownership of the Olympus Mons with other regional alliances, but who would have thought... We will once again become a community with a shared destiny.”

“Nobody would have thought this, just like how I never thought that a scientist a century ago would wake up during my tenure.” Li Guangya said with a sigh, “Maybe it’s just like what I said in that speech from a year ago.”

Wu Shuhua: “What did you say?”

“Destiny.”

Wu Shuhua glanced at him, not knowing how to respond.

Wu Shuhua looked at her watch and ignored him. She cleared her throat and continued, “There are only ten minutes left before the press conference... Chairman, are you ready?”

“Only 10 minutes left? That’s great, this long wait is finally over.”

Li Guangya stood up from the chair. He walked to the mirror, smiled slightly, and reached out his hand to adjust his collar.

He spoke in a relaxed and confident tone.

“Let’s go, let’s begin a new era.”

...

Li Guangya, dressed in formal clothes, walked to the front of the stage amidst the applause.

All of this was familiar to him. He had stood on the same stage countless times, and he knew better than anyone else how to utilize people’s emotions and how to make people cheer for his ideas.

While facing a microphone, he cleared his throat and preached in a grand and sonorous tone.

“From walking upright to slash-and-burn cultivation, from the Yangtze River to the Euphrates and Tigris, from the dark age of obscurity to the ancient feudal dynasties... Over these tens of thousands of years, we have created a prosperous culture, a glorious civilization has been established on this land.

“However, just like how shadows always follow the light, we have also suffered from hunger, disease, war, and poverty during these tens of thousands of years.

“Fortunately, they did not defeat us.

“The memory of suffering allows us to grow and make us more united and stronger. Let us deeply understand the need to eliminate exploitation and oppression, to end war and hunger, to liberate the enslaved. That is the primary purpose of our civilization. Everything that blocks us from realizing a utopia is our common enemy.

“This is an alliance that crosses blood and national boundaries. Regardless of race or belief, in the face of this common ideal, our destiny has been closely integrated, and our future will be shared with each other.

“In the past 100 years, we have proved with our actions that peaceful growth is a feasible path. Even in the most difficult moments, we still maintained the greatest restraint and never resorted to violence against others.

“And now, we are willing to combine our experience and culture and share it with you.”

Li Guangya glanced around the venue.

Feelings of excitement and heroism overflowed in his chest, he took a deep breath, raised his voice, and spoke loudly in a sonorous tone.

“I am honored to stand here and reach a consensus with all of you, on common issues regarding the future of our civilization.

“It’s also a great honor to be able to announce the arrival of this glorious moment.”

Pairs of excited eyes focused on the stage.

He continued to talk in a loud voice, “From today onwards—

“On behalf of 233 countries and regions around the world, as well as the regional alliances—

“I declare the establishment of the Federation of Human Alliance!”
