491: Chapter 490 The Fourth Major Event! The Haori Heavenly Court Plan!

"Singing to our beloved motherland."

"From now on, we march towards prosperity and strength!..."

"..."

The passionate melody of "Singing Huaxia" faded away.

The Spring Festival Gala had reached its final ten minutes.

Li Yong, Kang Guang, Hostess Li Dan, and all the other hosts gathered on stage once again.

Their faces were beaming with festive smiles.

"Tonight."

Li Yong, standing in the very center of the stage, took a step forward.

His voice, carried through the microphone, clearly reached every corner of the studio and resonated across all of Huaxia.

"Entrusted by Chief Designer Lin,"

"we have a fourth, and final, but absolutely most significant major event to announce to all our fellow Huaxia compatriots!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The scene fell into a deathly silence that lasted for several seconds.

Those audience members, who had originally been looking down, fingers furiously tapping on their phone screens to download the official Huaxia Future app, now stiffly lifted their heads.

They stared at Li Yong on stage with eyes that looked as if they were seeing a "devil."

Still... still more?!

Damn it, is he human or a ghost?!

Is he not going to stop until he gives everyone a heart attack tonight?!

"I beg you, stop reading! Brother, please, really, stop! If you keep going, people are going to die!..."

"I surrender! I give up! Can I just kowtow to you instead?!..."

"Host Li Yong, I beg you, please act like a human! Can you just give us a way to live?!"

"I feel like I'm not watching the Spring Festival Gala, I'm witnessing a miracle... No, even a miracle wouldn't be this outrageous!..."

In the livestream chat, the barrage comments were filled with "wails."

Everyone was truly left dazed by this series of completely unreasonable "trump cards."

They couldn't distinguish reality anymore.

The happiness came too suddenly, and too intensely.

So much so that their hearts and brains started sounding alarms of being overwhelmed.

On stage, Li Yong knew the timing was just about right.

If he kept building suspense, it might really cause "public outrage."

He put away his smile, his expression becoming unprecedentedly solemn and serious.

He spoke in a steady, powerful voice.

"Looking up at the starry sky is a dream that humanity has never ceased to pursue since its birth."

"From the ancient legend of Chang'e flying to the moon to modern manned spaceflight, our Huaxia nation's longing for the brilliant galaxy above has never changed."

"In the past, we could only gaze at the stars from the ground."

"Today, we have already established our own planetary home on the moon—Yuegui City."

"But,"

"this is far from enough!"

Li Yong's voice suddenly rose, filled with power.

"The moon is only the first stepping stone for us to head into deep space, not our final destination!"

"Our journey is the sea of stars!"

"I believe,"

"everyone should still remember the three Huaxia sci-fi dreams that Chief Designer Lin once promised to all Huaxia compatriots!"

"Now,"

"under the leadership of Chief Designer Lin,"

"we are taking it one step at a time, constantly moving towards those three sci-fi dreams!"

"Our goal,"

"is to build,"

"a true space city above Blue Star!"

A space city!

As soon as these four words were spoken, there was another collective gasp from the audience.

Li Yong didn't give anyone time to think.

His voice was like a war drum, striking heavier and heavier against everyone's hearts with each beat.

"To build thirty-three space cities orbiting above Blue Star's equatorial geostationary orbit, capable of accommodating billions or even tens of billions of people to live and multiply, possessing complete ecosystems and industrial systems!"

"This magnificent plan is what Chief Designer Lin calls—"

"the Haori Celestial Court Project!"
