Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1211 - 1117: Never Parting Forever

After all, everything happening right now is already more than enough, and shocking enough. After such a long period of adjustment, Xiao Zihan’s nerves must have toughened quite a bit.

After all, everything on this lunar base is just so sci‑fi.

Presumably at this point, even if he told her about the whole crossing thing, she wouldn’t be that stunned anymore.

This was also why Lin Yi chose this moment to explain.

If he’d tried to tell her back on Earth, it would have been very hard for her to accept. But after what she’s experienced now, it becomes relatively easier to take in.

And how things would actually develop, whether she would believe him, or accept it—none of that was something Lin Yi could control.

He found a free moment and simply brought Xiao Zihan back to their room, then sent Luo Ning off to her small room to play with her toys.

"Zihan, there’s something I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time, but the timing was never right. Now it finally is, and I want to talk to you about it."

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, confusion immediately appeared on Xiao Zihan’s face. She was a bit puzzled about what he wanted to tell her.

After all, she hadn’t seen such a formal expression on Lin Yi’s face for a long time.

Even when he was leading Team 1000 to land on the moon, he hadn’t been this serious.

Precisely because of that, Xiao Zihan’s heart was uneasy, doubtful, confused, and at the same time a little scared.

Because she really cares too much about this family. She cares too much about Lin Yi.

So, seeing that grave expression on Lin Yi’s face, her own expression turned equally grave.

And she didn’t say a word more. She just stared straight at Lin Yi, waiting for him to go on.

Because she knew this was not the time for her to ask questions. She only needed to listen. He wanted to tell her something, not make her pry.

This was also what Lin Yi found especially fascinating about her; he really liked this part of Xiao Zihan’s personality.

As long as it was something he didn’t want to talk about, then no matter how puzzled Xiao Zihan was, how much she didn’t understand in her heart, she would absolutely never ask him a single question.

This is something most women simply don’t have.

Seeing that grave look on Xiao Zihan’s face, he also felt he might have been a bit too serious.

So the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a gentle smile. Then he reached out and lightly pinched Xiao Zihan’s cheek:

"We’ve been here for two days now. I’m sure in these two days you’ve seen a lot, and I’m sure you’ve been very confused in your heart too, right?

The engineering here just doesn’t look like something that could be done with our current technology, and there are many things that even the Zaohe Group couldn’t possibly make today.

Other people might not be clear about that, but you definitely are.

And the truth is exactly as you suspect: all these technologies really aren’t something the current Zaohe Group could produce.

Take the fact that I can build a Starship. Given the Zaohe Group’s current level, even with another fifty years of development they absolutely couldn’t make one.

This simply isn’t something that can be completed in a short time.

Just look at the materials used on that thing—those are nowhere near what we can reach nowadays.

You could put it this way: the special materials used on it don’t exist at all on Earth or on the moon.

Many scarce resources have to be obtained from other planets.

To give the simplest example, a lot of components in the thruster have to be forged from dedicated metals refined from Mars rock.

And with our current level of technology, wanting to land on Mars is pure wishful thinking.

Of course, what I’m saying doesn’t include our spaceship. With that ship, getting to Mars would be easy."

His words did strike right at the doubts in Xiao Zihan’s heart. She did have these questions and also knew this was absolutely no simple matter. She had just never asked Lin Yi anything about it.

Because she knew that as long as Lin Yi wanted to tell her, he definitely would. If he didn’t want to, then asking would only put him on the spot.

And at this moment, Xiao Zihan had completely become a listener, quietly listening to Lin Yi speak.

Every now and then she would nod in response, indicating that she really had been harboring these doubts.

Seeing her like this, Lin Yi pinched her cheek again:

"Actually, you don’t need to be this nervous. Strictly speaking, this is a good thing—it’s just a bit beyond imagination.

The reason I didn’t tell you before was because I thought it would be too hard for you to accept. And the reason I’m telling you now is that over these two days you’ve already seen a lot of unbelievable things, so if I tell you now, it’ll be easier for you to accept, right?"

After he finished, Xiao Zihan showed a look of sudden realization. At the same time, she deeply understood Lin Yi’s intentions.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to tell her; it was just that her level of understanding hadn’t yet caught up with Lin Yi’s pace.
