Inside a private resting room.
Lu Zhou hung up the "do not disturb" sign and locked the door. He then walked to a clean bed and laid down. He closed his eyes and said "system" in his mind.
Soon, a familiar feeling hit him.
When he opened his eyes again, he was in a pure white space.
How long has it been since I've been here?
A month?
Two months?
Or half a year?
Lu Zhou couldn't remember the last time he was here.
Ever since the start of the mission chain, the system had given him a long-term research goal, and the number of times he returned to this place seemed to have decreased.
He walked to the holographic panel and a line of light blue text slowly appeared in his field of vision.
[Congratulations, User, for completing the first stage of the "Control of Earth and Moon" mission chain: Landing on the Moon.
[Requirements: Send at least one astronaut to the moon in a project led by the host and successfully bring him back to the surface while ensuring his personal safety.]
[Reward: 100,000 engineering experience points, 50,000 materials science experience points, 50,000 energy science experience points, 500 general points, one lucky draw ticket.
[Secondary goals:
① Bucket of gold: Collect and bring back 1 kilogram of lunar soil. Reward: 50,000 experience points (achieved)

The experience points rewarded by the system were amazing. In addition to the subject experience points from the main mission, the subject mission rewards were all freely distributable experience points, which added up to a total of 250,000 experience points. There were also precious lottery chances, which amounted to four.
The excitement in Lu Zhou's heart at this moment was no less than that of the astronauts who had just stepped out of the aerospaceplane.
Of course, it was too early to be happy.
Whether or not it was worth celebrating would depend on the results of the lucky draw.
"System, open the Attributes Panel!"
A pale blue light swept across the screen, and the attribute panel quickly appeared in front of Lu Zhou.
There was no need to consider mathematics and physics for now. One was level 8 and the other was level 7, and the upper limit of experience was in the millions. 250,000 free experience points wouldn't make a splash at all.
Level 5 engineering and biochemistry seemed to be good investment targets, but Level 3 energy science and Level 2 information science were also very cost-effective. Moreover, if he wanted to solve the problem of helium-3 mining or communication on the Moon, energy science and information science seemed to be useful.
After standing in front of the status panel for a while, Lu Zhou suddenly felt that with so many mouths to feed, 250,000 EXP wasn't enough.
"As expected, I didn't complete enough Side Missions this time. I have to pay attention to the second stage of the mission … "
After taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou lowered his head and thought for a moment. He quickly made his decision. He allocated 200,000 experience points to biochemistry and the remaining 50,000 experience points to information science.
Soon, the updated attribute panel appeared in front of Lu Zhou.

A. Mathematics: Level 8 (774,000/3 million)
B. Physics: Level 7 (13,215/1.2 million)
C. Biochemistry: Level 6 (10,000/600,000)
D. Engineering: Level 5 (10/300,000)
E. Materials science: Level 6 (63,000/600,000)
F. Energy science: Level 3 (50,000/100,000)
G. Information science: Level 3 (3,000/100,000)
General points: 4,835 (four lucky draw tickets)

His biochemistry level increased from level 5 to level 6, and his information science level increased from level 2 to level 3. The former was further into materials science, and the latter was beyond the beginner's level.
The reason why he chose this distribution method was because biochemistry was closely related to materials science in a theoretical sense. Since his biochemistry level was behind materials science, the benefits of upgrading his biochemistry level were relatively large.
As for why he chose information science instead of energy science, it was mainly because the second-generation controllable fusion technology was nowhere to be seen at this stage. The mining of helium-3 resources wasn't that urgent. They only needed to find out the reserves and then race around the moon.
Of course, there was another way, which was to upgrade his engineering to level 6 first.
However, for now, Lu Zhou felt like he didn't need an engineering level that much. After all, there were many excellent engineers at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study who could help him make up for his shortcomings in the field of engineering.
After the experience points distribution was over, it was time for the lucky draw.
Lu Zhou looked at the holographic screen and took a deep breath. After he silently said "lucky draw" a few times, he focused all of his attention on the faintly emerging roulette.
The second he pressed the button, he shouted at the same time.
"… Spin!"
The roulette spun rapidly.
This time, Lu Zhou didn't stop at all. He quickly pressed the button five times in a row.
However, after seeing the results of the lucky draw, his face became darker and darker.
Three lucky draw tickets, two garbage items, and one sample. They were a Future brand liquid food, a can of Future brand Coke, and a … thermal long johns with the Future logo?
Even though the label said it was a shirt, it didn't look any different from long johns.
What surprised Lu Zhou the most was that this "long johns" was actually a sample?
But in Lu Zhou's opinion, this thing was no different from garbage.
Lu Zhou planned on studying this thing after he put it out. He took a deep breath and looked at the lucky draw button.
Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, there was only one last chance left.
Lu Zhou clenched his teeth and pressed the button.
The roulette spun rapidly. After he pressed the button again, it spun dozens of times before it slowly stopped.
[Congratulations, User, for receiving a sample!
[Received, "Crawler" all-terrain remote-controlled exploration vehicle!]
Lu Zhou: "?!"
The moment the prize popped up, Lu Zhou's eyes were immediately attracted by this strange-looking exploration vehicle.
Even though he hadn't read the description in detail, his intuition told him that he had found a treasure this time!
His mood finally recovered a little.
After the lucky draw tickets were exhausted, the roulette gradually disappeared. Lu Zhou continued to look at the holographic panel.
At this moment, the mission briefing that could not be selected had become optional after all the lottery prizes were collected.
"It's time to enter the next stage."
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and clicked on the mission panel.
A light blue light swept across the screen, and the updated "Goal 2" quickly appeared in front of him.
[Goal 2: Permanently on the Moon
[Requirements: Build a semi-permanent scientific research station on the Moon for astronomical observations, hydrological and climate observations, high-energy physics experiments, etc. The basic rule is to keep more than 100 tons of man-made objects on the surface of the Moon.
[Secondary goals:
① Overcrowded: More than 100 people active on the Moon in 24 hours.
② Spark of the Future: Large Hadron Collider on the Moon.
③ Dig Three Feet Underground: Collect a total of 50 tons of rare earths from the Moon.
④ Alchemist: Produce 100 tons of titanium alloy.
⑤ Looking Back at the Mother Planet: Build a semi-permanent Earth meteorological observatory in lunar orbit.
⑥ Looking into the Distance: Build a large space telescope to conduct more detailed observations of the planets in the Solar System and extraterrestrial galaxies.

Lu Zhou: "…"
If a manned moon landing was considered a realistic mission, then this mission had completely entered a realm that was completely unfamiliar to Earth's civilization.
Keeping more than 50 tons of man-made objects on the Moon, even using Skyglow to pick up garbage from low-Earth orbit and throw it on the Moon would take several round-trips. Moreover, if he only managed to muddle through the quest, not only would the quest reward be pitifully low, there would probably be even more ridiculous quests waiting for him in the next stage.
Lu Zhou felt his scalp tingle.
This sh * tty system …
It's getting more and more difficult.
