Lü Yongchang's steady voice came over the radio.
A moment later, as countless people watched, a scene straight out of science fiction unfolded.
Several blue indicator lights first lit up on the surfaces of the nine silvery-white cubes.
Then, as the indicator lights continued flashing, the silvery-white cubes slowly unfolded along the seams in their surfaces.
