Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1187 The shock of black technology (first update, please subscribe)
October 10th, this day.

It is a day worth remembering. The torch of the 17th Olympic Games will be lit at the Olympic Stadium in Chang'an. This is the first time that an Asian country has hosted the Olympic Games. Before this, the Olympic Games have always been the exclusive domain of European and American countries.

This Olympic Games is destined to write a new page in the history of the Olympics.

At seven o'clock that evening, Nanyang seemed to have fallen silent in an instant. The once bustling night market was almost deserted. Only a few cars occasionally passed by on the busy roads. Schools, shopping malls, and cinemas had all closed early. It was no exaggeration to say that the streets were deserted. More than 90 million Nanyang people gathered in front of the TV, waiting for the opening moment of the Olympics.

The lotus-like Olympic Stadium is dotted with colorful neon lights, just like the lotus of Guanyin of the South China Sea. This stadium, which can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, is home to spectators and athletes from all over the world.

Most of the audience were dressed in their best clothes - in the past few days, women from Southeast Asia, whether of Tang or European descent, all wore gorgeous Tang costumes, also known as Hanfu.

Of course, it is not limited to women. Many men also wear Tang suits, but the only difference is that they cannot tie their hair into a bun like women.

Although the beautiful and gorgeous Tang Dynasty clothing has long been famous in the world, it was at the Olympics that people from all over the world really took notice of it. Not only did tourists from various countries put on Tang Dynasty clothing, but some athletes also bought Tang Dynasty clothing as souvenirs.

"here we go!"

Whether they are athletes participating in the competition or ordinary audiences watching TV, the same voice will ring in their hearts at this moment.

At 7 o'clock sharp, five F2 fighter jets of the "Suzaku" flight demonstration team flew over Chang'an and the Olympic Stadium. The planes appeared over Chang'an with colorful smoke. The gorgeous smoke immediately attracted everyone's attention. This was the first time people saw colorful smoke pulled by planes.

In the past, although there were flying demonstration teams that used smoke, they were all white smoke. When have they ever used colored smoke, and the colors of the Olympic rings? Not many people know that this kind of colored smoke was specially developed by related companies in Nanyang. It is not complicated, but it is definitely not simple.

Just as people were surprised, the flight demonstration team arrived at the Olympic Stadium, sprayed five-color smoke over the stadium, and drew the Olympic five-ring pattern in the blue sky.

This performance really attracted a lot of attention!
The colorful smoke trails were spectacular and became the most classic scene of the Olympic Games as soon as they appeared.

The opening ceremony is the highlight of every Olympic Games. The Nanyang Olympic Organizing Committee has put a lot of effort in this regard, starting preparations five years ago. Every detail has been rehearsed many times, ensuring that both the basic rituals of the opening ceremony and the final large-scale cultural and sports performances are foolproof.

After the air show, the opening ceremony began.

"...First of all, I would like to sincerely welcome you all to Nanyang to participate in this grand Olympic Games. As the host of the Chang'an Olympic Games, I feel extremely honored to be able to witness this historical moment with my own eyes. At the same time, I would like to express my most sincere congratulations and good wishes to all the athletes..."

After the speech, the entrance ceremony was the highlight of the entire opening ceremony. Delegations from 86 countries and regions entered in alphabetical order of their country names, receiving cheers from the audience. However, in order to show respect for the origin of the Olympic Games, the Greek delegation was the first to enter the venue at every Olympic Games, and the Nanyang delegation, as the host, was the last.

An hour later, when the Nanyang delegation walked into the venue under the leadership of the flag bearer Yang Wu, the applause and cheers of the whole audience reached a climax. Although the size of 283 people was not the largest among all the delegations, they would all fight for the honor of the country in the coming month anyway.

As the athletes took the oath, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky and fireworks bloomed over the stadium.

The large-scale cultural performance then began. Although the cultural performance had a strong oriental flavor, when the actors in Tang suits performed the "Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Robe Dance", audiences from all over the world were amazed. This was a culture completely different from that of Europe and the United States. The agile and graceful dance moves on the stage were like fairies descending to the earth.

At this moment, the people in front of the TV seemed to understand that this was Nanyang, a completely different country.

Its oriental charm is different from that of other oriental countries. It is a country with distinctive characteristics.

It was also from this time that Tang clothing truly became the representative clothing of Nanyang people, forming a sharp contrast with the Manchu-style cheongsam, Ma褂, and long gown.

Of course, artistic performances are not just about the classical side. After all, Eastern sentiments and Western charm are the most authentic side of Nanyang. The European culture brought by millions of Europeans has also deeply influenced this country.

And what is the most important link?
Of course it’s the sacred flame.

The Chang'an Olympic Torch Relay adopted an epoch-making innovation in terms of means. The Olympic flame relay adopted a different approach from the past.

The Olympic Games opened on the 18th and were ignited in Olympia on the 13th. After the flame was passed to Athens, Nanyang did not adopt the previous method of using ships, airplanes or relays. It converted the ions of the Olympic flame into electronic pulses, which were forwarded to Chang'an within 1 second with the help of aerospace satellites, and then used lasers to ignite the torch.

Satellites and lasers, which are well-deserved products of the space age, are a method of delivering the Olympic torch that has never been used before.

At this time, mankind had just entered the space age, an era full of curiosity and yearning for space. It was naturally a romance unique to this era, and countless people admired it.

Satellites in Nanyang, lasers in Nanyang!
This is not only the power of science, but also a symbol of the advanced technology of Nanyang. Of course, this way of torch relay also saves a lot of manpower, material and financial resources for Nanyang. After all, it is just a matter of a few signals. If it is replaced by traditional airplanes and ships, the cost will be expensive!

After the torch was lit with a laser, the torch relay began, and it was passed to Chang'an on October 10. Finally, the torchbearers landed in Taiping Bay by dragon boat and then passed the torch to the Olympic Stadium.

Moreover, the torchbearers of the Chang'an Olympic Games were a combination of one man and one woman, the first time in the history of the Olympic Games that two people carried out this mission together. A total of 1788 torchbearers participated in the relay in Nanyang.

However, the identity of the torchbearer who lit the Olympic flame at the main venue was always kept secret. The identity of the last torchbearer of each Olympic Games is strictly confidential, and only a very few people know it. Finally, after two athletes from Nanyang passed the Olympic torch to fourteen teenagers from seven cities, including Kuching, Taiping, Yongan, Yongning, Zhongxing, Yongding and Dongning, a twelve-year-old boy and girl from Kuching took the torch, and they raised the Olympic torch together and ran forward.

The audience at the scene and in front of the screen will witness the final torchbearer lighting the main torch, and the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV are all watching with great anticipation. Zhao Pingyuan, who usually stays in the company, is also watching TV with his wife and children.

"Wife, I think the last torchbearer must be Yang Wu. He is the first Olympic champion in Nanyang. It must be him, no doubt about it!"

Just as Zhao Pingyuan finished his words, a familiar person appeared on the TV screen.

His eyes widened instantly, and Zhao Pingyuan said loudly:
"This this……"

Zhao Mingzhen on the side shouted excitedly.

"It's my sister, look, it's my sister, it's my sister..."

The girl who appeared on the screen was Zhao Minghui. She and the boy beside her took the torch together. Then, as torchbearers, they ran together towards the main torch through the long stairs, and the camera switched.

People watching on TV saw them standing in the water holding torches.

"What is this...what?"

Zhao Pingyuan, still shocked that his daughter was the last torchbearer for the Olympics, looked at his daughter standing in the water in surprise.

At this time, everyone was confused, people all over the world were confused!

You know, water and fire cannot coexist. If you stand in water with a torch, you don't have to worry about the water extinguishing the fire.

But just like this, to everyone's surprise, two flame holders, one on the left and one on the right, Zhao Minghui stood on the right, and the two of them put the torch in the water together, and the flame actually ignited in the water, and then the entire torch stand slowly rose from the ground.

At this moment, everyone was stunned!

"Fire can actually burn in water!"

The circular sacred flame and the flowing water curtain on the side complement each other, creating a visual feast of the fusion of water and fire.

Not to mention that this was a very shocking ignition ceremony for this era, it was also very shocking for people decades later, it was absolutely black technology.

It turns out that water and fire can also blend. Water is the origin of all life and symbolizes nature, while fire is the origin of human civilization. Such a lighting ceremony can be said to allow civilization and nature to blend perfectly.

When the Olympic flame was lit, a smile appeared on Li Yian's face. Yes, he plagiarized this method of lighting the torch, but he definitely did not copy it completely. For example, the reason why young men and women from all over Nanyang passed the last few baton was because they were born and raised in Nanyang. They were the true first generation of Nanyang people, and the glorious mission of lighting the main torch should of course be undertaken by them.

One man and one woman is a right thing in itself. There is nothing more right than this in the world. If it is wrong, his father should hang him or her on the wall.

And this in itself is a kind of passing on of the torch! It is in the same vein as the Olympic flame and the Olympic spirit!
Looking at the young man and woman in the distance, Li Yian's mouth corners curled up and his face was bright.

He is telling everyone in this way that they, the children, are the future of Nanyang! They will pass on the torch, they will create the future, and they will lead Nanyang to a brand new world!

So the fire of Nanyang will be ignited by them.

However, when Li Yian picked up the telescope and saw the last torchbearer, he was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth for a moment - this was clearly the young version of White Snake.

"No way, are there people in the world who look so alike?"

Li Yian thought so with some doubt, yes, they look really alike.

However, what he didn't know was that this girl was not Bai Niangzi, but Bai Niangzi's sister, her biological sister. The two sisters looked almost like they were carved from the same mold.

Their lives have also changed a bit, and their parents have also come to Nanyang. Perhaps this is the change that Nanyang has brought to the world.

Well, maybe there really are people like this in the world.

Just at this moment, Margaret, who was sitting next to him in a gorgeous palace dress, whispered:
"My dear, this opening ceremony is really perfect. The way the Olympic flame is lit is really shocking..."

Are you shocked?
