460: Chapter 459 The First Sub-Venue of the Spring Festival Gala – Laurel City!

Lin Mo, who had put on his Kunlun Exoskeleton Armor in advance,

suddenly hovered half a meter above the ground.

Then, he landed silently on the runway,

without raising even a single speck of dust.

The Space Force general who had just spoken still had his mouth slightly agape.

Secretary-General Liu let out a long sigh of relief.

"Let's go."

Without a single word of nonsense,

Lin Mo walked straight toward the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet that was already on standby.

The hatch at the bottom of the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet was wide open.

Secretary-General Liu, also wearing Exoskeleton Armor, and several guards hurried to follow.

The second they boarded,

"Boom!!!——"

The engine of the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet let out a deafening roar.

A long stream of pale blue flames erupted from the tail of the fighter jet.

A massive sonic boom thundered through the night sky.

After ascending vertically, the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet turned its nose toward the north and vanished into the horizon in an instant.

...

Kyoto.

The main venue of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

The lights were brilliant.

The crowd was bustling.

Inside the vast studio, thousands of audience members had already taken their seats.

At the head table in the very front row below the stage,

a few empty seats were particularly conspicuous.

"Has Chief Designer Lin arrived yet?"

Chief Designer Bai Yannian looked at his watch.

"Secretary-General Liu just sent a message saying they've already departed,"

a staff member responded in a low voice.

On stage,

CCTV hosts Li Yong, Kang Guang, Nigeti, Li Si, Lu Yu, and others stood with smiles on their faces, microphones in hand, making final preparations.

Inside the control room,

various equipment indicator lights flashed incessantly.

"Dear viewers, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Wood Horse is about to begin!"

Just then,

the back door of the venue quietly opened.

Dressed in a dark Sun Yat-sen suit, Lin Mo walked into the venue with a calm expression.

Behind him followed Secretary-General Liu and several staff members.

The audience seats instantly erupted in a stir.

"Chief Designer Lin! Chief Designer Lin is here!"

"Oh my god, he looks so much younger in person than on TV!"

"Holy cow! Chief Designer Lin is way too tall and well-built!"

"Don't forget, Chief Designer Lin is a national defense student trained by our Huaxia University of Science and Technology!"

"He must be at least 1.9 meters tall, if not two meters. Is he really a scientist? If you can't reason with him, can he just apply some 'physical' force?"

"Chief Designer Lin! Chief Designer Lin!"

Countless people stood up,

paying tribute to this leading figure of Huaxia's new era.

Lin Mo nodded slightly in acknowledgement, walking toward the head table at a steady pace.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian and other high-level officials rose one after another to welcome him.

"Comrade Lin Mo, you've finally arrived."

There was a clear tone of relief in Chief Designer Bai Yannian's voice.

This Year of the Wood Horse Spring Festival Gala

was even more significant than last year's live broadcast of the moon landing.

As the primary figure who created all of this, it would have been a great regret if Lin Mo could not attend.

"My apologies, Chief Designer Bai, I was delayed for a while at the Jiuzhang Quantum Supercomputer center,"

Lin Mo responded with a smile.

He took his seat at the head table,

and the surrounding high-level officials sat down one after another.

The atmosphere of the entire venue instantly reached a new height.

The hosts on stage saw Lin Mo take his seat

and continued according to the script.

"Now, I announce that the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Wood Horse has officially begun!"

The opening song and dance performance kicked off.

The brilliant lights and shocking sound effects pushed the atmosphere to its first climax.

Ten minutes later,

the first program ended.

Host Li Yong stepped back onto the stage,

the smile on his face even more radiant.

"Dear viewers, there is a special arrangement for this year's Spring Festival Gala."

His voice spread throughout the venue via the speakers.

"For the first time, we will establish a sub-venue, and I believe the location of this sub-venue will shock everyone."

The audience below held their breath in anticipation.

The hundreds of millions of viewers in front of their televisions also stared intently at their screens.

"Tonight, our first sub-venue will be located at..."

Li Yong paused deliberately.

"The First Lunar Base City—Yuegui City!"

Boom!

The entire venue instantly exploded with excitement.

The audience members widened their eyes in disbelief, followed by an eruption of deafening screams.
