The eve of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The family sat around the dining table and ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

A table of good dishes was placed on the table early, not only Lu Zhou's favorite braised pig's trotters, but also fatty and delicious, crispy bream on the outside and tender on the inside, as well as the steaming meat-stuffed leek dumplings.

Especially the dumplings.

Eating the dumplings made by the old lady herself, Lu Zhou was moved to tears.

It was probably the most delicious food he'd had in the past year......

Seeing that Lu Zhou had already eaten two plates, Lao Lu, who was drinking a little wine and sandwiching braised beef on the other hand, couldn't help but say something.

"Eat less, don't break your stomach."

Chewing something in his mouth, Lu Zhou said without raising his head.

"It's just once a year, let me eat more."

"What do you mean this time, if you want to eat, Mom will cook for you for a few more days," kindly looking at her son who was immersed in eating, Fang Mei then glared at Lao Lu, "My son is hungry and wants to eat, can you manage it?" ”

Lao Lu said aggrievedly: "Aren't I worried that he will break his stomach?" ”

"What's going on, I think my son is thinner than last year, and he must be tired this year! If you have that spare time to worry about others, you might as well go and wash the dishes. ”

Looking at the bickering father and mother, Lu Zhou hurriedly freed his mouth and said, "No, no, you can put the plate in the kitchen, and the family ...... There is an automatic dishwasher. ”

The phone in his pocket shook.

Lu Zhou didn't have to guess to think that Xiao Ai must be protesting again.

But at this time, how can he have time to care about it, it must be important to eat.

Looking at the old brother who ate like a starving ghost, Xiao Tong sneered, pursed his lips and said: "The Chinese New Year's Eve meal is still long, brother, you eat slowly." ”

"Good! I'll slow down. ”

Although he said this, the chopsticks in Lu Zhou's hand still did not stop.

As for breaking your belly......

It is non-existent for him.

The system had strengthened his bodily functions a long time ago, and now he was fully adapted to the transformation. Even if he eats the food of two adults, he can easily bear it with his metabolic ability, and even if he has excess calories, he will be preferentially converted into something other than fat.

It is precisely because of this that he has really never gained weight no matter how much he eats.

After being counted down by his wife, Lao Lu stopped nagging.

However, although Lao Lu is no longer nagging, since just now, the mobile phone in his pocket has been shaking and not playing.

Lu Zhou finally couldn't help it, put down the chopsticks in his hand, took out his mobile phone and looked at it.

Sure enough, it was sent by Xiao Ai.

There is only one sentence in the message.

[Master, I want to eat too~(ˉ『ˉ)】

Lu Zhou: "......"

It was too hard for him.

With a sigh, Lu Zhou replied by typing.

[You're still young, let's talk about it when I have a chance later.] 】

Xiao Ai: [QAQ]

Lu Bangguo, who was sitting next to him, glanced at the mobile phone in his son's hand, but he was quickly dodged.

After taking a sip of wine, Lao Lu said with a smile.

"Cut, so stingy huh? Girlfriend? ”

Before Lu Zhou could answer, the old lady who happened to come out of the kitchen with the freshly baked dumplings, as soon as she heard Lao Lu's words, her eyes suddenly seemed to light up, and she hurriedly put down the plate in her hand and asked her son.

"What? Got a girlfriend? You kid is really, why don't you bring it back for the New Year! ”

Sitting on the opposite side of the dining table, Xiao Tong sighed faintly: "You don't understand my brother too much." ”

Lu Zhou: "......"

Xiao Ai: [(??? *)？ 】

The family said this lively, and the Spring Festival Gala soon began.

Although I haven't cared about what this show is doing for a long time, it has almost become a habit to turn on the TV at this time.

Chinese New Year, isn't it just a lively picture?

Now that the cannon is not fired, if there is no festive sound, I always feel that something is missing.

According to the program arrangement, before the start of the Spring Festival Gala, New Year blessings were sent to all walks of life and celebrities in China.

Standing on the stage, the male host held the microphone in his hand, faced the camera at the scene, and said in an enthusiastic voice: "...... In addition to the above Chinese New Year wishes, we have a special Chinese New Year blessing here. ”

The hostess pretended not to know and opened her beautiful eyes wide.

"A special blessing? Who could it be? ”

The male host gradually raised his voice and said with a smile: "What's special about it is not who sent it. Rather, it comes from the Moon, which is 380,000 kilometers away from us! ”

The moment the host's voice fell, the picture on the TV screen quickly switched to the lunar orbit 380,000 kilometers away.

Standing in the cabin of the Xiangrui, Nie Yun, who was dressed in civilian clothes, smiled and waved to the camera.

"Hello to the audience in front of the national television, this is Xiangrui, 127 minutes from the moon 380,000 kilometers away from the earth."

"Two of my comrades-in-arms have already set foot on the moon and are on a mission, and they can't meet with you. Here, instead of my two companions, I would like to congratulate you all on a happy Chinese New Year, all the best, and all your wishes come true! ”

"And, Dad, Mom, Happy New Year!"

The screen switched to the scene of the Spring Festival Gala.

At this moment, the entire Spring Festival Gala scene has been filled with cheers and applause.

staring intently at the big screen of the TV, Lao Lu, who had been silent since just now, suddenly came to a sentence.

"You built the spaceship?"

Also looking at the picture on the TV, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "How could it be that I made it, it is the result of the joint efforts of all the engineers of the entire Aerospace Research Institute and all the staff of the Space Launch Center." ”

Especially those who are still on site at the launch center.

Not to mention the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, many people may have to wait until the shift change to eat even a bite of instant noodles.

Lao Lu: "That's what you made." ”

Lu Zhou made a helpless expression and didn't explain.

It's good that the old man is happy.

Retracting his gaze from the TV screen, Lao Lu looked at his son and said with a smile, "You kid can do it." ”

Lu Zhou smiled: "It's okay." ”

Lao Lu nodded and said sincerely.

"Well done."

Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then smiled.

"Hmmm! Thanks for the compliment. ”

The moon is precious not only for air and fresh water, but also for communications.

After all, the ground command needs to be in contact with Xiangrui throughout the process, and the data collected by the ground lunar module must also be returned in real time. However, the only thing that can be relied on is a small water pipe of less than 400K. Therefore, it is not realistic to broadcast the moon landing to viewers on Earth, and just sending this 57MB video of New Year's greetings takes up a lot of the data stream that would otherwise be allocated to scientific research missions.

However, what matters in life is the sense of ritual.

It's the same with astronautics.

It's a bit boring to calculate how much of a benefit everything can bring and whether it's worth it.

After all, not all actions can be valued.

Looking at the Spring Festival Gala program that continued to be played, the corners of Lu Zhou's mouth hooked up a smile.

Now the conditions are a little harder.

But that's just for now.

When a communication base station or communication satellite is established on the surface of the moon or in orbit in the future, the situation of "excessively high communication traffic between the earth and the moon" will be somewhat alleviated.
