462: Chapter 461 Moon Palace Ecological Park! Growing Rice on the Moon!

"Holy crap! Holy crap!"

"A lake? I see a lake on the moon? And there are koi in the lake?! "

"This has to be special effects, right? This is definitely special effects!!"

"Bullshit! If that's special effects, I'll eat my TV! This is a live broadcast from CCTV!!!"

"..."

In front of television sets, countless families erupted in incredulous gasps, and the barrage of comments online instantly froze.

The shock at the Spring Festival Gala continued.

Reporter Sa Ning crossed the artificial lake.

He led the audience to continue touring the first lunar city in human history.

"...Here, there are complete urban functional zones such as the Central Park area, agricultural area, industrial area, scientific research area, residential area, and commercial area."

"Currently, over 1,500 of China's top researchers and engineers are working and living here as the first batch of residents."

"And the location where I am standing right now is none other than the Central Plaza of Yuegui City."

"It is also the core area of Yuegui City—the Moon Palace Ecological Park!"

"Through the transparent dome above the Moon Palace Ecological Park, you can directly see the deep space scenery, as well as the beautiful blue planet that everyone is currently on—Blue Star!"

The camera panned upward.

Through the transparent dome, one could clearly see a cerulean planet hanging quietly in the pitch-black void of space.

Blue Star!

As the camera slowly rose, looking through the dome to present the entire azure planet before the eyes of hundreds of millions of viewers.

The entire world seemed to have been pressed on mute.

At the Spring Festival Gala.

The crowd, which had been rowdy and bustling just a moment ago, was now deathly silent.

In the live broadcast room.

The barrage of comments that had been scrolling by at lightning speed.

Also experienced a blank space lasting several seconds.

Everyone held their breath.

It was a kind of shock and tenderness that could not be described in words.

The perspective of looking at Earth from the moon instantly brought tears to the eyes of countless viewers.

"It's too beautiful..."

"Our home, it's truly so beautiful when viewed from this angle..."

"I declare that this is the most beautiful scene I have seen in my entire life, and I will not accept any rebuttals!..."

Reporter Sa Ning guided the camera to follow his footsteps.

"Now, let me show everyone the most shocking place in Yuegui City!"

On the big screen.

The footage of Yuegui City was still playing.

The camera straightened and slowly zoomed in.

Revealing a giant domed space covering an area of about 30 football fields.

Lush vegetation of various types intertwined.

It was simply like a miniature version of Earth's ecosystem.

"The Moon Palace Ecological Park is adjacent to the agricultural area, and it adopts a fully closed-loop natural ecological circulation system developed by Academician Yuan."

"Every plant here has been carefully selected by Academician Yuan's team, capable of surviving and reproducing in this artificial environment."

"Of course, since it is Academician Yuan's project, naturally, Academician Yuan's hybrid rice cannot be missing from the agricultural area!"

Following Reporter Sa Ning's introduction.

The camera slowly ascended and kept moving forward.

Until it crossed over the central ecological park.

At this moment, what came into the viewers' view.

Was actually a large expanse of green rice paddies!

That's right, rice paddies!

In the nearby agricultural area.

The newly headed rice stalks were glistening under the artificial light.

"Holy crap, am I mistaken? You can actually grow rice on the moon???"

"Damn it, we Chinese people really have to plant rice wherever we go!!!"

"Academician Yuan is awesome! Academician Yuan is awesome!!"

Reporter Sa Ning crouched down.

He scooped up a handful of black soil.

"Through technical improvements by our Lin Mo Technology Center Agricultural Science Research Institute, the special soil mixed with lunar regolith can now grow over 20 types of Blue Star crops!"

"Moreover, due to the moon's gravity and sunlight, the growth rate of crops here is over 30% faster than on Blue Star, and the yield will increase by at least 50%!"
