159: Chapter 159 Travel Must Include Delicious Food

"Even if the entire nation ate as much as they wanted, our grain reserves would last for over two years. It's not that serious, is it?"

"Nova, let me ask you a question. Suppose there was originally enough food for ten people, and the price was one yuan. If there was only enough food for nine people, how much do you think the price would rise?"

"Increase by 10%?"

Nova asked tentatively.

"No, no, no... it would rise to the point where the poorest of the ten people couldn't afford it even with their entire net worth. If the poorest person has a hundred yuan, the price will be a hundred and one. If he has a thousand, the price will be a thousand and one!"

"This..."

"Food... is never enough! Especially when the blight cannot be overcome, even if our domestic grain is enough for ten years, the price will soar. Why? Because everyone knows there won't be any new grain, so no one will sell!"

"President, do you think... someone who can't stand Gao Yuan might try to assassinate him..."

Putin laughed.

"Of course there are such people, but... the success rate is infinitely close to zero! Remember, no matter what others do, our people must absolutely not do it. Understand? I'm old, and I don't know if I'll make it to the next term. If Xia Country controlling the world is the general trend, at least we won't suffer a crisis after being integrated!"

Nova felt a bit sentimental...

At this time, Donghuang was in high spirits.

After he smashed the Black Fish Technology store last time and Black Fish Technology withdrew its staff overnight, Donghuang's prestige had risen to its peak.

Now his fans were networking everywhere...

Donghuang couldn't wait any longer.

He stood on the street: "If I take office, the first thing I'll do is recall all soldiers abroad and completely expel all Xia Country people in America!"

"Donghuang is mighty! Go now..."

"Yes, take office now. We can't wait; Annie is not worthy!"

"Only Donghuang can save America!"

Donghuang stood above with a proud face.

This was... his confidence.

"Ban Douyin International Version, ban Black Fish Technology, ban Little Green Book. On Douyin in Xia Country, minors can only watch educational videos, but what are our minors watching? They're watching shootings, drug use, games, body modification, and por...nography. In the long run, the gap between the youth of America and Xia Country will only grow wider! And the wrist machines? In Xia Country, they're used for communication, learning, and work. Here? They're used to scroll through Douyin and play games. This is a conspiracy by the Xia people!"

"And the Little Green Book, it's subtly changing us, changing our culture, and assimilating us! This is a cultural invasion, a war... let us unite and Make America Great Again!"

At this point, some people were completely incited.

"Why should we wait until the end of the year? Look at what America has become! We can't wait any longer. Let's go to the Presidential Palace right now and make Annie abdicate!"

"Yes, head for the Presidential Palace!"

"This is the voice of the people!"

With someone leading the way, a large group of people sprang into action.

Carrying guns and driving off-road vehicles, they whistled for their friends and began marching toward the Washington D.C. area from all over.

This movement quickly spread on Douyin.

Ironically, the Donghuang fans who wanted to ban Douyin were using Douyin to network and promote their actions on Douyin!

A revolution was about to unfold!

Meanwhile, in Muza, Xia Country, a grand event was taking place.

Hai Yan looked at the time excitedly: "Now let's count down ten seconds. In ten seconds, three space buses will fly to the moon!"

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one... Ignition, lift-off!"

Although the netizens knew this moon landing should go smoothly,

they still started to feel a bit nervous during the countdown.

This was also the first time they had seen the scene of a space bus taking off so clearly...

There were no surging orange flames...

As the engines of the three space buses started, the vehicles began to float.

The intakes sucked in a large amount of air, which was heated by the energy generated from Nuclear Fusion into high-energy particles and ejected from beneath the vehicles.

The reaction force pushed the space buses upward...

The netizens were stunned.

"This isn't cool at all!"

"It just floated up like that? Why does it feel like a cheap fifty-cent special effect?"

"Exactly, what's going on?"

"I just saw it look like it let out a fart, and then the vehicle flew..."

Hai Yan looked up as the space buses quickly ascended. The effect was indeed not as impressive as a rocket, but the speed was truly fast.

Gao Yuan sat inside a space bus, watching Muza below get smaller and smaller. The industrial park slowly turned into a matchbox, and the entire Daqing Mountain range looked like a coiled divine dragon...

The space bus continued its rapid ascent.

In Moon Palace No. 1, Tan Jianlong, a native of Shannan and a fourth-generation astronaut trained by the state, recalled how he had been inexplicably excited when he saw the first Xia Country astronaut enter space as a child. He had wanted to go up and see for himself...

After all these years, he had finally entered the National Aerospace Center and become a reserve astronaut.

A year ago, he would never have imagined he could go up so soon. According to the original plan, five astronauts were supposed to rotate to the space station this year!

If only five were chosen, it would never have been his turn.

But the sudden emergence of Black Fish Technology had moved the moon landing forward. Moreover, the space bus had anti-pressure devices, so ordinary people could actually ride it without needing specially trained astronauts.

However, given that this was Xia Country's first official moon landing, they were cautious and decided to let professional astronauts do it.

Furthermore, the space bus had an incredible carrying capacity, so the number of spots was increased, giving him the chance to represent the country in the moon landing.

Although Tan Jianlong didn't feel the pressure of g-force, his heart rate accelerated. As the altitude increased, he became more nervous, and looking at his colleague beside him, he saw the same expression.

"Brother Qiu, are you nervous?"

"Nervous... this is my first time leaving Earth! But Teacher Zhou has worked on the space station before; he probably isn't nervous!"

The two of them looked toward Zhou Gu beside them!

Zhou Gu was resting with his eyes closed, seemingly sensing someone looking at him.

He opened his eyes: "What are you looking at?"

"Teacher Zhou, are you nervous?"

"Why would I be nervous? This space bus is so comfortable, even more comfortable than a plane. What's there to be nervous about?"

"It's a moon landing! Aren't you excited?"

"Excited!"

"Then why are you like this?"

"Conserving my energy to perfectly complete the first moon landing mission! With such good conditions this time... you guys haven't ridden a rocket. Those things can crush your bones!"

"Really, Teacher Zhou?"

"Was your usual g-force training uncomfortable?"

The two aerospace newcomers immediately turned pale. Speaking of g-force training, it was simply a fate worse than death, like having a mountain pressed against your chest...

"Is riding a rocket really as brutal as the training?"

"It's much more uncomfortable than training. When I first went up, I thought I was going to die..."

Zhou Gu said.

The two newcomers looked at each other with lingering fear.

"This space bus is just too comfortable!"

It was indeed too comfortable. At this moment, various exquisite foods were laid out in front of Gao Yuan, even including steak and red wine.

"Travel requires good food!"
