CHAPTER 1861: CHAPTER 1686: PROSPERITY AND STRENGTH

Inside the Bird’s Nest.

Cheers resounding.

As the rain of light dissipated.

Everyone turned their gaze to the ground.

"At this moment, the time light emitted by the sundial illuminated the Bird’s Nest, lighting up the giant drum formation composed of two thousand and eight drums and two thousand and eight drummers." The sound of drums began to rise.

Due to the oriented voice transmission equipment, the live effect was simply explosive.

In the past.

The cheers overshadowed the drum sound, and everyone was hearing just noise—only TV and live broadcasts could hear clearly, as it was all specially recorded and the broadcast also had narrator commentary.

But nowadays.

Live.

Broadcast.

Almost synchronized.

Perfect.

"Is this live?"

Many people were amazed.

Not everyone had experienced perfect live sound quality, today, they had witnessed it, and in their minds appeared that young face, it was him, who made the live performance a pleasure.

...

In the seats.

"Brother, you’re amazing."

Tang Nian’er’s little face was red with excitement.

Visuals.

Auditory.

The entire atmosphere of the scene was elevated to its peak by elder brother’s product. The other family members of Tang Qing felt the same; to make this grand event praised and celebrated by the world was itself an honor.

"Of course."

Tang Qing smiled.

Stood up.

Waving the glow stick in his hand.

...

In the general director’s office.

Busy chaos.

All the staff were on edge, every part had to be flawless, or it wasn’t just a simple matter of personal punishment; it would bring shame to Huaxia, which was absolutely not allowed.

"Good, good, good."

Everyone was very satisfied with the live effect.

More than just satisfied.

If it were using gunpowder fireworks, testing could only be done elsewhere, finally launching at the Bird’s Nest, but, with holographic projections, they could test the effects repeatedly, just at the cost of some electricity.

Relatively speaking.

This time, the design and manufacturing cost of fireworks was probably not as expensive as these projection devices.

However.

Speaking of ’management difficulty’.

These projection devices performed nearly perfectly, without errors, and could be attempted multiple times; their adaptability was strong, making them much more convenient than using gunpowder fireworks, and easier to control.

Green.

Technology.

Culture.

Immediately fitting all.

...

Outside.

Another minute passed.

At this moment.

Accompanied by rhythmic beating, all the drums lit up, after two prior phases, two thousand and eight drummers stood straight, waiting for commands, the live scene became calm.

Fifty-nine minutes.

Accompanied by the drumbeat.

The drum formation displayed two numbers,

---60.

"With a heartbeat-like drumbeat, giant light-shadow numbers emerged from the drum formation. Each thrilling resonance, each transformation of light-shadow numbers, heralds the arrival of the moments of the Beijing Olympics."

Live.

Everyone heard the host’s voice as if in a live broadcast.

---50.

"Let us traverse through time, counting down together."

---40.

"The thrilling rhythm stirs the thousand-year-old nation’s vast territories."

---30.

"Stirring the pulsating blood of the Chinese nation, jointly welcoming the Olympic era shining upon Huaxia."

---20.

"Ten."

After two thousand and eight people’s shouting, the countdown began. This countdown was not calculated by seconds, as changing formations required time, the interval between each countdown was approximately two seconds.

"Nine."

"Eight."

"Seven."

"..."

Live, countless audiences followed the drummers in shouting, Tang Qing also joined the crowd in yelling, in the past observed with only silent thought, but now, he’s at the scene, fortunately controlling the volume.

Otherwise.

The entire field might be overshadowed by his voice.

This is not an exaggeration.

"One."

No zero.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Crackle crackle!"

Instantaneously.

The entire sky over the Bird’s Nest was covered with splendid fireworks. This time, there was no use of holographic projections, throughout the opening ceremony, gunpowder fireworks were used three times, the first time was here.

The second time.

Was during the performance of the four great inventions.

The third time.

Was at the end of the opening ceremony.

"Roaring!"

Everyone stood up, cheering.

At this moment.

Eight o’clock sharp.

"Tonight, the stars are brilliant, August’s Huaxia is filled with fiery passion, sincerely invites guests from all directions, widely welcomes friends from all over. Tonight, fireworks fill the sky... witnessing miracles of striving, forging peaks of honor."

Next up.

It was drums and song, welcoming friends from around the world, chanting Confucius’ famous line "Isn’t it a pleasure to have friends come from afar?" Although, most people hadn’t noticed.

But with the narrator’s explanation.

Soon after.

The drum performance ended.

The Bird’s Nest dimmed.

On the big screen.

Live aerial footage began playing, the crowd cast their gaze, Tang Qing also looked up, due to technical issues, this time’s aerial photography equipment was rented from the United States.

And not allowing ordinary people to touch.

To this.

Tang Qing pouted.

Blockade?

The more blockade.

The faster Huaxia’s technology grows, just like the Transcription Fluid, which Huaxia cannot manufacture for now, but with careful research, there might be dozens or hundreds of technological breakthroughs along the way.

And the medical cabin.

Take it apart.

Learn.

Even if it can’t achieve the original effect, yet the accumulated other technologies and application breakthroughs would be extremely valuable; one can never judge the value of a scientific research direction by its goals.

Not reached.

Doesn’t mean not traveled.

"In the shocking sound, we are delighted to see enormous footprints composed of fireworks traveling along the central axis road of Beijing, passing through Tiananmen Square, boldly heading towards the National Stadium."

In the footage.

Giant footprints spanning hundreds of meters stepped through the air.

Each step.

Would ripple like water waves, extending outward.

Tiananmen.

A large number of people unable to be on site gathered here, watching the sky’s giant footprints, along with the spreading blue ripples, and each step scattering starlight, they were intoxicated.

Stunned.

"Roar~"

Along the path of footprints, there were excited shouts.

Not like gunpowder fireworks disappearing quickly, rather leaving footprints growing shallower, and slowly restoring the ’water surface’ to its original state, initially the director wanted to ’create lotus with every step’.

But on second thought.

Too complex.

No time, as Shiguang had been going public only for a few months.

"Twenty-nine footprints symbolizing the historical footprints of the twenty-ninth Olympiad, also signifying Huaxia’s century-long pursuit of the Olympic dream, stepping into a moment where dreams are realized."

"..."

When the last footprint fell in the Bird’s Nest sky.

Countless fireworks blossomed.

At this moment.

The Bird’s Nest was filled with numerous light points, like a vast galaxy descending to earth, then, as if with life, flying towards the center of the Bird’s Nest, in the air, condensing into a giant dazzling Olympic Five Rings.

’Fei Tian’ danced around it.

Afterwards.

The Five Rings began to rise.

Soon surpassing the Bird’s Nest’s top, standing at dozens of meters above the ground, with a booming flame, like the sundial earlier, visible from far away.

Subsequently.

The light points of the Five Rings transformed.

Into a map of Huaxia, the scene’s atmosphere reached its peak.

In an instant.

An ethereal voice echoed throughout the Bird’s Nest, everyone turned their gaze, "The five-star red flag waves in the wind, the victory song is so loud, singing our beloved country, from now we’ll stride towards prosperity and strength."
