Lin Yi spends the day acquiring large quantities of seeds and supplies for his company, the Nuclear Creation Corporation. Despite facing eye-rolls and mild scoldings from Empress Dowager Ye for his lack of direct involvement, he feels the heavy burden of his responsibility to humanity. Later, he joins the ongoing research discussions but continues to inject a comedic element, much to Empress Dowager Ye's frustration.

This has gradually made those people somewhat numb, they’ve become accustomed to Lin Yi’s attitude.

Of course, Lin Yi’s delegation of responsibilities has also significantly increased the pressure on them.

For a time, they started to be more demanding of themselves, fearing they might make a mistake and delay Lin Yi’s major plans.

After all, with the current nuclear group, it’s truly a world-renowned conglomerate, and even the slightest deviation could have significant consequences.

"What’s up, calling me so late? You’ve already selected all your people."

Lin Yi, after walking to the side, picked up the phone and then roared ungraciously at Ouyang Lei.

Can’t help it, the pressure here needs some outlet.

And Ouyang Lei was indeed bewildered by this out-of-the-blue rant, leaving him at a loss:

"Uh, did you swallow gunpowder or something? Why are you talking so aggressively?"

After some complaining, Ouyang Lei quickly jumped to the main point:

"Here’s the thing, as for personnel, we really couldn’t select any more, we’ve only picked about 500 people.

We really can’t manage any more over here.

There’s hardly any time, and we don’t dare to randomly select people.

How about just once, let’s only send up the 500?

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi waved his hand impatiently and said to Ouyang Lei over the phone:

"Hey, it’s not that big of a deal, is it? Since you’ve selected 500, leave the rest to me.

Have everyone prepared and let’s head out at 8 a.m. tomorrow.

You can transport them overnight today, Li Huiqun will handle the base over there, just call him and have him arrange everything.

By the way, have those two big treasures been sent up yet?"

Listening to this, Ouyang Lei was full of helplessness; this is typical interaction with Lin Yi, who seems to treat everything as trivial.

Yet if you say he doesn’t care, this guy always manages to perfectly resolve things once they occur.

This is his skill, the reason Ouyang Lei can only smile wryly and meet with a welcoming face despite the tone.

"The personnel here have already been prepared, they’re on the plane heading over.

Shouldn’t take more than two hours to land there.

Alright, I’ll contact Li Huiqun later about the matters there.

The two treasures have long been secretly transported over, they’re now in the warehouse not far from the spacecraft.

The thing is too conspicuous, can’t put them under the spacecraft, right?

If placed there, within moments it’d be all over the internet, considering the spy satellites above are no joke."

But hearing this, Lin Yi sneered dismissively:

"Old Ouyang, you’re slapping my face here.

Within the base, can those surveillance satellites outside take any pictures?

If they can, what would be the point of me living?

Let me put it this way, if they can take a shred of footage, I’ll write my name backward."

Ouyang Lei actually trusts this, as Lin Yi’s technology is indeed impressive.

The spy satellites outside can’t capture anything in that area, not even their own reconnaissance satellites, showing only a grey desert-like image with no hint of any structures.

However, for safety’s sake, he didn’t leave those two treasures outside, as they’re just too eye-catching.

"I know you’re capable, but for safety, keeping them in the warehouse is more prudent.

Fine, let’s leave it as it is; besides these personnel, we’ve also brought a large amount of research equipment, which together might take up space equivalent to around 1000 people."

Ouyang Lei was indeed giving Lin Yi a heads-up, although he hadn’t brought enough people, the volume of research equipment and instruments required considerable space, and including those, the space equivalent to 1000 people wasn’t too far off.

However, upon hearing this, Lin Yi didn’t seem to care and suggested just to hurry up and do it, then hung up the phone.

After returning from hanging up the phone, he realized that things seemed to have ended here, several people were sitting in the restaurant waiting for him.

This caught Lin Yi off guard, making him somewhat puzzled as he walked over to ask:

"What, you’re done with the discussion? No more talks?"

"We’ve mostly gone through everything, basically, it’s like you said, we’re not cutting off contact, if there are any problems we can just communicate by phone anytime. Come on, we’re waiting for you, let’s sit and eat together."

Yet hearing this, Lin Yi could only roll his eyes in helplessness.

Well, how little they regarded him.

He had clearly eaten in front of their eyes earlier, but they hadn’t noticed, now waiting to eat together, which left him speechless.

But looking around, there was no one he could afford to provoke, so he quietly sat there, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat in small bites, after all, he wasn’t eating food, it was about the atmosphere.

"Are you leaving tomorrow? How about we set off there tonight?

Lao Lin, pack up your luggage after eating."

While feeding Xiaoluo Ning nearby with small bites, Lin Yi paused upon hearing this, his movements stilled, looked at his mom and dad in surprise and asked:

"What do you mean? Are you saying both of you want to come along?

Are you thinking about joining me at the moon base? Hah, not a bad idea."

However, this only drew a helpless laugh from his mom, who then pointed at Lin Yi with some irritation:

"You’re talking nonsense, why would we go?

We’re clueless up there, only causing trouble.

Plus, the resources going up are limited, we can’t waste them on us.

All three of you are going, taking away my precious granddaughter. I have to go see you off."

Hearing this, Lin Yi knew he was overthinking.

At the same time, he could see his mom was genuinely reluctant to part with Xiaoluo Ning.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi could only offer a sheepish smile, then continue feeding his beloved daughter.

But just as he began feeding, Empress Dowager Ye dismissed him, moving him aside, and personally started feeding her precious granddaughter.

While feeding, she didn’t forget to criticize Lin Yi and instruct him on how to care for Xiaoluo Ning, on how to feed her.

Listening to his mom’s nagging, Lin Yi could only smile warmly.

"Don’t worry, I’m still with Zihan, right? What’s the issue? If I can’t care for the child, her mom sure can.

Mom, rest assured, once we’re up there, we’ll start the second phase of the base construction.

Once it’s completed, I’ll bring you and dad up there, let you stroll around; it’s no different than our backyard."

Saying this, Lin Yi got excited, starting to vividly describe the unique scenery there.

This successfully caught his dad’s attention, whose face was full of anticipation, eager to go up with his son and see it firsthand.

But Comrade Lin, after just exchanging a few words, was silenced by a glare from his mom, who then quietly resumed eating.
