The press conference was a mess.
The audience sitting in front of TVs, computers, and mobile phones watching the live broadcast of the press conference were all shocked when they heard Lu Zhou announce that he would go to Mars in person.
He's going to Mars?!
What is going on?!
"Academician Lu is going to Mars himself?"
"F*ck, no way? He's really f*cking going?!"
"I think… Academician Lu is probably joking? Although he is not old, going to Mars is still too ridiculous. I remember that only professional astronauts can adapt to life there."
"No please, God Lu, please stay on Earth!"
The discussions on Weibo were exploding.
The popularity of the topic soared rapidly, surpassing the "Mars landing plan press conference" and other terms that dominated the trending search list.
