The night before the first day of the New Year.
The whole family sat around the dining table, eating New Year's Eve dinner.
A table of delicacies had already been placed on the table. Not only were there Lu Zhou's favorite braised pig trotters, but there were also plump and delicious bream that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, as well as piping hot minced leek dumplings.
Especially the dumplings.
Lu Zhou was moved to tears when he tasted the dumplings made by his mother.
This was probably the most delicious food he had tasted in the past year …
Old Lu saw that Lu Zhou had already eaten two plates. He was drinking wine and eating braised beef. He couldn't help but speak.
"Don't eat too much. Don't overdo it."
While chewing, Lu Zhou didn't even raise his head.
"It's only once a year. Let me eat more."
"What do you mean just once? If you want to eat, I'll cook for you for a few more days." Fang Mei looked at her son and said, "I want to eat, what are you going to do about it?"
Old Lu felt wronged and said, "I'm just worried that his stomach will explode."
"What do you mean? I think our son has gotten thinner than last year. He must have been exhausted this year! If you have the time to worry about other people, you might as well go wash the dishes. "
Looking at his parents bickering, Lu Zhou quickly said, "No need, no need. Just leave the dishes in the kitchen. There's … an automatic dishwasher at home."
The phone in his pocket vibrated.
Lu Zhou didn't have to guess to know that Xiao Ai was protesting again.
However, he didn't have the time to care about it. Eating was more important.
Looking at her brother who was eating like a starving ghost, Xiaotong giggled. She pursed her lips and said, "There's still a long way to go before the New Year's Eve dinner. Brother, eat slower."
"Alright! I'll slow down. "
Although he said that, Lu Zhou's chopsticks did not stop moving.
As for bursting his stomach …
It didn't exist for him.
A long time ago, the System had strengthened his body's functions, and now he had completely adapted to this transformation. Even if he ate the amount of food that two adults could eat, with his metabolic ability, he could easily bear it. Even if there were excess calories, they would be converted into something other than fat first.
Because of this, no matter how much he ate, he never gained weight.
After being scolded by his wife, Old Lu stopped nagging.
However, even though Old Lu stopped nagging, his phone had been vibrating non-stop in his pocket.
Lu Zhou couldn't take it anymore. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and took out his phone.
Sure enough, it was from Xiao Ai.
There was only one message.
[Master, I want to eat it too ~ (̄ ̄ ̄)]
Lu Zhou: "…"
This request was too difficult for him.
With a sigh, Lu Zhou typed a reply.
[You're still young. Let's talk about it in the future.]
Xiao Ai: [QAQ]
Lu Bangguo, who was sitting next to him, glanced at his son's phone, but Lu Zhou quickly looked away.
Old Lu took a sip of his wine and smiled.
"Psh, why are you so stingy? Girlfriend? "
Before Lu Zhou could answer, his mother, who was coming out of the kitchen with freshly made dumplings, heard Old Lu's words, and her eyes lit up. She immediately put down the plate in her hand and asked her son.
"What? You have a girlfriend? Seriously, why didn't you bring her home for Chinese New Year! "
Sitting on the other side of the table, Xiaotong sighed. "You guys don't understand me."
Lu Zhou: "…"
Xiao Ai: [(??? *)?]
The family chatted happily. The Spring Festival Gala soon began.
Even though he hadn't paid attention to the show in a long time, he had already gotten used to turning on the TV.
It was Chinese New Year, wasn't it supposed to be lively?
There weren't any firecrackers these days, so it would feel like something was missing if there weren't any festive sounds.
According to the program schedule, before the Spring Festival Gala began, there were New Year blessings from all of China's celebrities.
The male host stood on stage with a microphone in his hand. He looked at the camera and said in a passionate voice, "In addition to these New Year blessings, we have a special New Year blessing."
The female host pretended not to know.
"Special blessing? Who is it? "
The male host gradually raised his voice and said with a smile, "What's special about it isn't who sent it, but what's special about it isn't who sent it. It's because it came from the Moon, 380,000 kilometers away! "
The second the host finished speaking, the TV screen quickly switched to the Moon's orbit 380,000 kilometers away.
Nie Yun, who was wearing casual clothes, was standing in the Skyglow cabin. He smiled and waved at the camera.
"Hello, everyone, this is Skyglow, 380,000 kilometers away from Earth, in the 127-minute orbit of the Moon.
"My two comrades have set foot on the Moon. They are on a mission, so they can't meet you. On behalf of my two companions, I wish everyone a Happy New Year. May everything go well and all your wishes come true! "
"Also, Dad, Mom, Happy New Year!"
The TV screen switched to the Spring Festival Gala.
The entire Spring Festival Gala was filled with cheers and applause.
Old Lu stared intently at the TV screen and suddenly spoke.
"You built the spacecraft?"
Lu Zhou looked at the TV screen and paused for a second. He then smiled and said, "How could I build it? It's the result of the joint efforts of all of the engineers at the Aerospace Research Institute and all of the staff at the launch site."
Especially the people who were still working at the launch site.
Forget about New Year's Eve dinner, a lot of people didn't even have time to eat instant noodles.
Old Lu: "Then you built it."
Lu Zhou made a helpless expression and didn't explain.
As long as the old man was happy.
Old Lu looked away from the TV screen and looked at his son. He smiled and said, "Not bad, kid."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Not bad."
Old Lu nodded and spoke sincerely.
"Well done."
Lu Zhou paused for a second and smiled.
"Yeah! Thanks for the compliment. "
Air and water weren't the only precious resources on the Moon. There were also communication resources.
After all, the ground command center needed to be in contact with Skyglow, and the data collected by the lunar module had to be sent back in real time. The only thing they could rely on was a small water pipe that was less than 400K. Therefore, it wasn't realistic to broadcast the Moon landing live to the audience on Earth. Just sending the 57MB New Year's greeting video would take up a lot of data that was originally allocated to scientific research.
However, the most important thing in life was a sense of ceremony.
Aerospace was the same.
It would be too boring if he had to calculate how much profit he could bring and whether it was worth it for every single matter.
After all, not every action could be calculated.
Lu Zhou looked at the Spring Festival Gala and smirked.
Things were a bit difficult right now.
However, that was only for now.
Once a communication base station or communication satellite was built on the Moon's surface or orbit, the "high Earth-Moon communication traffic" problem would be slightly alleviated.
