#445 - The rapidly developing lunar base

The following events involved a series of testing procedures to ensure everything was foolproof and prevent any unexpected incidents.

This series of tests couldn't be completed in a short time, but if no problems arose, Fang Yuan currently had nothing to worry about.

Following the usual routine, Fang Yuan should be leaving now, but this time he wasn't very reassured. Otherwise, he would have gone home right after the first test.

This shows how much Fang Yuan valued this matter. How could he not? This space-time travel technology, in a sense, was the key for him to unlock a brand-new era.

If even the key wasn't well-made, there was no need to elaborate on what the upcoming era would be like, right?

And so, only after another round of testing did Fang Yuan finally feel relieved.

Time flew by, and the Spring Festival was approaching. The space-time travel project, including the unfinished tests, had taken a little over two days.

Of course, this was just the research and development phase. The basic construction would take an unknown amount of time!

However, for China, this was the easiest part. Infrastructure construction, these four words might be difficult for others, but in China, it was incredibly simple.

Even if it wasn't that exaggerated, it was close. As soon as it was confirmed that there were no issues, the construction of the space-time travel technology could begin.

The first phase would cover the entire country, including the lunar base. At the same time, China's other base on the moon, the International Lunar Research Station, was already completed. Before completion, all the related slots had been 'given away'.

However, those who were gifted these slots all gave China some return gifts. Excluding the 200 slots reserved for China, there were 730 slots left for research personnel and others.

The entire base could accommodate 1024 people. Of course, it could accommodate more, but that would interfere with the base's research.

The annual income from these slots alone could support the entire lunar base's expenses, including round-trip transportation costs.

Currently, only China could accurately send personnel to a specific location on the moon. Even if other countries could, they couldn't send everyone up at once.

But China had the strength. Large manned spacecraft were not just talk. In recent years, in addition to the Pangu, they once again had a manned spacecraft capable of carrying 500 people.

The purpose of this manned spacecraft was specifically to transport scientists from various countries to the lunar base. One round trip and the money was in hand.

To commemorate the development of China's space program, this manned spacecraft was named Dongfanghong-X (East is Red - X), such a nostalgic name.

Fang Yuan didn't know much about the International Lunar Research Station, only that it existed. He had never looked at the detailed information.

It wasn't that the higher-ups were deliberately hiding it, but after giving him the information, he would casually toss it somewhere. Of course, such confidential matters would be promptly destroyed even if he tossed them.

Therefore, all Fang Yuan knew was the name. As for what it was used for, he knew very little.

However, he never imagined that this International Lunar Research Station was actually used to make money. Heh heh, it could even be considered developing tourism?

Could it be considered tourism? Looking at the current situation, it really could be, and it was the kind of 'black' tourist spot where everything was frighteningly expensive.

In fact, the round-trip transportation costs and the rental fees for the International Lunar Research Station weren't the biggest source of income. The biggest profit probably came from selling necessary living supplies every year.

China also stipulated that each passenger could only carry a maximum of 50kg of luggage. Of course, China transported the necessary research equipment separately, and the costs were settled separately.

How many living supplies could they carry with 50kg of luggage?

But China was different. With the existence of the Earth-Moon transport channel and space compression technology, as long as they wanted, the supplies were virtually endless.

Of course, China also provided them with necessary material transportation services, but the fees weren't very cheap and would definitely not meet their needs.

Well, in this way, the profits generated would definitely be enough to make up for the lunar base's long-term losses.

If managed properly, maybe their funding wouldn't need to be paid separately in the future. Speaking of which, this was really good news.

In addition, the space-time travel technology would soon be put into use. For the people at the lunar base, the distance between Earth and the Moon was almost non-existent.

Just thinking about it was exciting. How many years had it been? From the establishment of the lunar base to now, the technological development on Earth was too fast.

At this rate of development, the opening of the Great Universe Era was inevitable. However, they all knew that the ability to develop to this extent was inseparable from that person on Earth.

Not to mention anything else, the environment of the lunar base was already close to Earth's level. This kind of change alone was shocking enough.

The previously released environmental modification colonies had begun to play their role. With the guidance of human factors, the environment of the current lunar base might be better than the laboratory in the Gobi Desert.

Moreover, the basic living guarantees were just a small matter for the lunar base. If they weren't afraid of wasting too many supplies, the current lunar base wasn't much different from the wealthiest city in terms of living conditions.

They were already very satisfied with the current environment. Who would have thought that they could enjoy such treatment on the moon?

They thought that they could only stare blankly at the rocks on the moon, and that would be the biggest entertainment. The current situation was already ten thousand times better than expected.

But to be honest, if it weren't for Fang Yuan's existence, the Earth transport channel wouldn't have been established, and the lunar base wouldn't have been built into its current state.

To put it bluntly, they should be most grateful to Fang Yuan for being able to conduct research here now.

They might be even happier if the rotation time wasn't more frequent, right? After the last incident, the lunar base was changed to an eight-month rotation.

Of course, to ensure their results, these people could apply for a delayed rotation or an independent laboratory. Even after the rotation, the project would only be suspended, and no one else would enter your laboratory.

However, only influential figures could apply for independent laboratories. Not everyone was qualified to apply. Otherwise, even if the lunar base was newly built and had a larger area, it couldn't support such consumption.

More often, independent laboratories were applied for by groups. Truly independent laboratories applied for by individuals were few and far between.

However, strangely, Fang Yuan, who had never been to the lunar base, actually had an independent laboratory, but no one said anything.

This wasn't a waste of resources. Fang Yuan's independent laboratory had its own use. However, only a few people besides Fang Yuan knew about it. This only happened after the lunar base was rebuilt.

The biggest purpose of this laboratory's existence was to maintain contact with the lunar base.

It used some of the technologies used in the Dream Net project. Fang Yuan dared to guarantee that as long as the lunar base still existed and didn't completely disappear from this world, he could establish contact with it.

In addition, this was Fang Yuan's second pair of eyes. He couldn't come here now, but he could use some technology to replace himself. This laboratory had this function.

It was even more sensitive to the outside world than the human body. It contained many sensors developed by Fang Yuan himself.

In order to obtain more accurate data, this laboratory used many unknown technologies. Of course, as the builder, the Chinese government also obtained all of these technologies.

There was nothing to hide. It was fine for the Chinese government to obtain them, saving himself trouble in the future. Anyway, he had no other intentions. The higher-ups were already too grateful to him, how could they cause him trouble?

It was a joke. With his current achievements, who could cause him trouble? Moreover, he obeyed the law and never touched the red line. Who would be idle enough to cause him trouble?

Fang Yuan, who was on his way home, didn't know that Xiao Fangxuan had completely 'dominated' the kindergarten. Both teachers and students were under her 'rule'.

But even if he knew, Fang Yuan wouldn't say anything. What could a child do?

It was the existence of this kind of thinking that led to so many naughty children. Fortunately, Xiang Lingling was relatively strict, and Xiao Fangxuan had her own judgment at this age.

Otherwise, the most terrifying naughty child in the world would have been born. Speaking of which, after he left, Xiao Fangxuan restrained herself a lot.

At least at home, she was a good baby. It was really strange. The elders at home hadn't left, and her backers were all there. He didn't know why she felt that Fang Yuan was her biggest backer.

Could it be that she didn't know that Fang Yuan had no resistance to Xiang Lingling? If she knew everything, she wouldn't be a child. To put it bluntly, no matter how she behaved at school, she was just a child who had just turned five years old.

Understanding human relationships and worldly wisdom requires time to accumulate. Even Fang Yuan now wouldn't dare to say he's proficient in this area; no, he's very much not proficient.

As for his daughter, judging by her current demeanor, she will definitely be stronger than him in this aspect in the future. However, this kind of skill, no matter how strong, is just a minor talent.

Looking at the path Fang Yuan is taking now, it's a broad and glorious road. Even if someone is dissatisfied with him, what can they say? He can directly crush them; no one can withstand Fang Yuan's path forward.

Just considering this point alone, Fang Yuan is definitely among the strongest people in this world, perhaps even the strongest one.

It would be very difficult for others to replicate such a path. Without absolute strength, trying to copy this path would be asking for trouble.

However, he doesn't want his daughter to embark on this path. Simply because it's too difficult. Even if she likes it, it can't always sustain her forward.

How wonderful would it be to live this life happily? It's not like he doesn't have the ability. Since he can't enjoy it, what's wrong with letting his daughter enjoy it?

No problem. In Fang Yuan's view, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this.

Therefore, from the moment Xiao Fang Xuan was born until now, Fang Yuan has been acting according to this principle. As long as it's something his daughter wants, he will try his best to satisfy her.

Fortunately, this little one knows her limits and hasn't asked him for the stars in the sky. Otherwise, it would really be difficult for him.

It's not that he couldn't do it. There's a very simple way to achieve this kind of thing in a different way. However, once this precedent is set, who knows what it might develop into in the future!

After returning home, he spent some quality time with his daughter. In the evening, he and Xiang Lingling never opened their bedroom door.

What happened inside is not for outsiders to know. It's only known that Fang Yuan walked out refreshed the next day, while Xiang Lingling looked exhausted.

In the past, the one who was always exhausted was definitely Fang Yuan. After more than a decade, he finally turned the tables and became the master.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan became excited. As expected, he's a chosen one, and should be the strongest in every aspect.

He used to think that Xiang Lingling wasn't a normal human, right? Now it seems that he has surpassed her, at least in terms of physical strength.

Long-term use of advanced energy potions has kept Fang Yuan's physical fitness increasing, while Xiang Lingling? She has almost always remained in place, and with the passage of time, she has even slightly declined.

Over time, this has created the current situation. If we really have to talk about it, it can't be said that Fang Yuan's physical fitness has completely surpassed Xiang Lingling's.

Okay, let's not discuss this matter anymore. After resting for a few days, Fang Yuan couldn't stay idle.

The Dream Net project on the Kyushu side has entered a crucial stage. At this time, he doesn't need to help with anything. With Little Star around, he knows the progress there very well.

He can even give them some advice at critical times. He's living a very comfortable life.

A warm bed, a wife, and children – life is complete.

Towards Fang Yuan, who is so lacking in ambition, Xiang Lingling actually felt a strange sense of heartache!

So many years have passed, and Fang Yuan has never slowed down; instead, he has become even busier.

As his wife, she can't help him with much else, but she can give him a stable rear, helping him take care of the elderly and children at home.

Of course, she can also manage the company's affairs for him. Whether it's the research center or the Kyushu side, she is considered the second-in-command.

Most importantly, once Fang Yuan returns, she will put down everything she's doing and wholeheartedly accompany him. A wife like this is hard to find even with a lantern.

What great luck does Fang Yuan have? He actually found such a virtuous wife.

He knows very well in his heart that if he had to say who he has wronged the most over the years, it would definitely be Xiang Lingling.

Isn't that right? To make up for her, he's simply like a little lamb, obedient in every way, as long as it doesn't involve something that crosses his bottom line.

He can unconditionally agree to her, even if it involves his bottom line, but it's not something he can't do, he will also agree.

After all, she is his closest person. Even his parents, at this stage, are a little less important than Xiang Lingling.

As mentioned before, the people around him are important in different aspects. Under different conditions, different people are of different importance to him.
