465: Chapter 464 The Second Important Event!

At the Spring Festival Gala venue.

The thunderous applause continued ceaselessly.

It seemed as if it would lift the roof off the Spring Festival Gala studio.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian, General Li Jingwu, and other high-ranking officials stood up and applauded.

Yet, when all of this was truly and vividly displayed before the people of the nation and even the entire world through the stage of the Spring Festival Gala...

...that surging sense of pride still made their hearts race uncontrollably.

General Yun Feijie, Commander-in-Chief of the Space Force, had slightly reddened eyes, struggling to hold back his tears.

Only he knew best how those researchers, engineers, Space Force soldiers, and the workers who volunteered at the Blue Star Base had endured these past six months to achieve this "completion on schedule."

That wasn't work; that was risking their lives!

Everyone felt as though they had been skinned alive!

If it hadn't been for the Azure Dragon Warrior Grade 1 supplements, which greatly improved everyone's physical fitness, it is likely that quite a few people would have died from overwork!

But all this sacrifice was worth it.

Today.

It has all received the most glorious reward!

At the main venue of the Spring Festival Gala.

Host Li Yong had been waiting on stage for a full three minutes.

Only then did the tsunami-like applause from the audience subside slightly.

He took a deep breath, his face beaming with an even brighter smile than before, his voice raised significantly due to his excitement.

"Thank you! Thank you to all our audience friends for your enthusiasm!"

"The completion of Yuegui City is a New Year's gift from us in China to the whole world, to all of humanity!"

"It belongs to China, and even more so, it belongs to the future of all humanity!"

"Next, let us enjoy the grand song and dance performance, Chang'e Flying to the Moon! ..."

Wang Fei, the singing diva familiar to all Chinese people, took the stage.

Her ethereal voice rang out, accompanied by the prelude to "Prelude to Water Melody."

The following program was a grand song and dance performance meticulously choreographed around the Chinese myth of Chang'e Flying to the Moon.

The scene was magnificent, beautiful, and festive.

In past years, this would definitely have been a finale-level act that could have garnered thunderous applause.

But tonight was destined to be different.

Whether at the Spring Festival Gala venue or among the hundreds of millions of Chinese viewers in front of their television sets...

...no one had the heart to watch the song and dance performance anymore.

Everyone was excitedly discussing that heart-shaking scene from just a moment ago with those around them.

Even more people were looking down, their fingers tapping frantically on their phone screens.

Engaging in heated discussions on major social networks.

"This performance is genuinely good, but I really have no heart to watch it!"

"Right! My mind is completely filled with thoughts of when the lottery for the first batch of moon tickets will start. It's only a few tens of thousands of yuan; I want to go to space!"

"Ancestors bless me!! Grandfather bless me!! Grandmother bless me!! I must win the lottery for the first batch of moon tickets! ..."

"Go check Blue Bird quickly! A bunch of foreigners are over there babbling nonsense; it's fucking hilarious!"

"From today on, if any banana person dares to be sarcastic with me again, saying that the moon is rounder abroad, I will launch them directly to the moon and make them open their dog eyes to see the red dragon flag flying over Yuegui City!"

"..."

Behind the scenes of the Spring Festival Gala.

Director Ha Wen looked at the monitor, seeing that not a single audience member was seriously watching the song and dance performance.

A bitter smile appeared on her face.

Ha Wen had actually anticipated this.

That was why for the first scheduled program, she had specifically invited Wang Fei, the hottest entertainment superstar and singing diva in China, to anchor the show.

But she hadn't expected...

...that this really wouldn't be able to hold the audience's attention at all!

One couldn't blame the program for being bad, nor the diva for lacking prestige.

It was just that the impact brought by Yuegui City was too earth-shattering!

Any brilliant song and dance performance seemed so pale and powerless in the face of such a sensational event as the "first lunar city for humanity."

Time passed minute by minute.

Five minutes later.

The grand song and dance performance finally ended.

Host Kang Guang took two steps at a time.

Walking quickly back to the center of the stage.

Countless gazes refocused on him.

The noisy discussions at the venue instantly quieted down.

Everyone had a premonition.

The madness of tonight might have only just begun!
