My courtyard shelter

That night, the launch center carried out two launch missions in succession, launching the core module and living cabin of the lunar base, as well as various supplies.

Next, there will be six more launch missions.

The completed lunar base covers an area of ​​about 8,000 square meters, with a total of four cabins, which are interconnected and roughly distributed in the shape of the letter "甲", a bit like the dome-shaped Han tombs of ancient Daxia .

In addition, the lunar base also has a small solar energy storage power station to provide energy for the base when sunlight cannot be used.

The entire construction process is estimated to take more than two years, and it will take three to five decades to achieve the goal of mining.

…

Xu Dong is not an avid space fan, so of course he will not stay in Zibei forever.

The next morning, the group left the launch center and began to return to Coconut City.

Xiaobao has made up his mind to resign. He called Professor Duan and his superiors last night.

Although Professor Duan was a little regretful, he did not object. He just told his granddaughter and grandson-in-law that since they had chosen this path, they should not give up halfway and must stick to it to the end.

The young couple naturally agreed.

On the other hand, there was a little trouble at the institute. The resignation soon alarmed the top management, and the general manager of the project team called to persuade them overnight.

In the end, Xu Dong personally came forward and persuaded them to settle the matter.

As for the ash fertilizer plant, he handed it over to his eldest son and let him take full responsibility. In short, the bottom line has been drawn, and it depends on fate whether it works or not.

On the way, the father and son took the opportunity to talk about the acquisition of the steel plant.

"Why don't you just move back to Kangaroo Country? I asked someone to investigate last night. There are only two steel mills in Qiongdao, and they are supporting facilities of the industrial park. There is no possibility of acquisition.

On the contrary, Kangaroo Country has no shortage of coal and iron mines. There are many high-quality acquisition targets, most of which are concentrated on the west coast, but there are also several steel mills around Sydney, maybe we can take them down."

Xu Dong paused and got straight to the point:

"After saying so much, what are your thoughts?"

"Dad, let's choose around Sydney. Xinyue has long missed Xiao Siyue and Xiao Tuanzi, and grandma is old, so I want to spend more time with her."

Xiaobao answered without hesitation.

Last time their grandfather passed away, they didn't get back in time, leaving too many regrets, and their parents were old, so he couldn't leave all the support responsibilities to his second brother.

Besides, his second brother just took office as the director of the branch last year, and he probably couldn't spare much time. It would be easier for the two brothers to share the burden together.

As for the eldest brother, he is responsible for running the family business and also fulfilling his filial duty. This is what Grandpa said to them when he was alive.

When Xiao Huihui heard that they were going back to Sydney, he jumped up from the sofa and danced with excitement: "Mom, are we moving back to Sydney?"

The little guy only came to Qiongdao last year.

He hasn't fully adapted to it yet!

"Yes, don't you say you miss grandma every day? Is this what you want now?"

Duan Xinyue reached out and scratched her eldest son's nose.

Xiao Huihui laughed!

Xu Dong nodded with satisfaction: "Of course it would be best if we could move back. Since your uncle and his family moved away, the house has become much quieter all of a sudden."

"Dad, don't you like quietness?"

Xiaobao couldn't help but joked.

"I like quietness, but your mother doesn't, and your grandma is someone who can't sit still."

Xu Dong shook his head.

Xiaobao quickly changed the subject: "Dad, aren't you idle after retirement?"

"Yeah? What's wrong?"

"Xinyue and I have discussed it and want to invite you to be the general manager of the steel plant. After all, it's a business worth billions, and we are unsure."

"Dad, come and help us?"

Duan Xinyue followed closely and echoed.

"No, no." Xu Dong waved his hand, "It's okay for me to help you guide the general direction, as for the specific management work, to be honest, your dad can't do it."

"Dad, don't be modest."

Xiaobao expressed doubt.

If his dad can't do it, then there will be no one in the world who can do it.

"You can ask your eldest brother about this matter, I'm not kidding you."

Seeing that his youngest son didn't believe it, Xu Dong called his eldest son on the spot, and then stuffed the phone in his hand, and he accompanied Xiao Huihui to watch the live broadcast.

Ten minutes later, Xiaobao hung up the phone with a bitter smile on his face, and then returned the phone to his father.

His father really didn't lie.

This was something he never expected.

Finally, the father and son bargained, and Xu Dong reluctantly accepted the position of consultant, working one day a week to kill time.

…

After arriving in Coconut City, Xu Dong flew back to Sydney on the same day. He originally wanted to stay a few more days, but his youngest son had already decided to move back, so he didn't mind these few days.

As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to pull his wife aside.

"What are you doing? In broad daylight?"

"What are you thinking? I have good news to tell you." Xu Dong explained in a low voice.

Yang Lina blushed and quickly covered up:

"What good news?"

"Xiaobao and his family are moving back."

Xu Dong didn't keep it a secret.

Yesterday, he specifically told his youngest son to keep it a secret.

This was a surprise he gave to his wife.

Old couples also need romance.

Yang Lina said in disbelief: "Really?"

"This can still be false. It took me a lot of talking to convince them."

"Tell me how you did it? You tried to persuade me every year, but it didn't work at all."

"Well, I'm going to help them buy a steel factory and let them start their own business."

Xu Dong replied.

Yang Lina suddenly sighed: "We should have done this a long time ago. It's a pity that Dabao can't come back, otherwise our family will be together."

"Don't worry. Once the third child gets familiar with the chairman's job, it's not impossible to move back in the future. After all, there are planes now, so I can fly more often."

"Forget it, don't bother, flying is too dangerous, just let them stay in South Africa!"

Yang Lina quickly waved her hand.

Her husband had taken planes for business trips several times before, and every time she was frightened and couldn't sleep well at night.

The large-scale air crash more than 20 years ago was really shocking.

Xu Dong subconsciously wanted to give some advice, but after thinking about it, he gave up. If he really encountered a plane crash one day, he would regret it later.

Sometimes, Murphy's Law is quite accurate.

"Okay! One more thing, the steel plant is currently short of a general manager. Jianbang and the others want to come to Sydney. Can you help me ask him if he is interested in this general manager?"

Siblings Yang Ge and Yang Zhen both stayed in Sydney to work after graduation.

My sister entered Xinke Seaweed and then married her colleague. In the second year after their marriage, the two were transferred to the Brisbane branch base for key training.

The couple currently has two children together.

The younger brother got into the system and became a grassroots leader in the sub-district office. He did a pretty good job. Last year, he even married the daughter of the director's family and gave birth to a fat boy at the beginning of the year.

After their eldest grandson was born, Yang Jianbang and his wife could no longer sit still. Since their son was unwilling to take over, there was no point in them staying in Hancheng.

It’s better to move here and reunite as a family.

Yang Lina hesitated and said: "Jianbang is three years younger than you and has a bad heart. He probably won't be able to work for a few years..."

"It's okay. Xinyue has no experience. The main thing is to let Jianbang take care of her and play an excessive role. She can stick to it for two or three years at most. Then let Xinyue take over."

Xu Dong explained.

My brother-in-law has worked diligently at the Hancheng Bread Factory for twenty years. He is definitely not lacking in ability, and he is also old enough to use his remaining energy.

The key is to trust your own people.

As for the past grudges, after so many years, he has long since looked away.

"Okay!" Yang Lina finally nodded, "I'll call Jianbang later. I'll speak in person. He probably won't refuse."
