[The leaders hope you can attend the international expo two months from now, because it's a world-class event showcasing our latest technological achievements and awe-inspiring to foreign powers. They say they'll be very pleased to see the technology you bring back from trade rapidly boosting our nation's strength.]

Gu Xixi looked at the list of scientific and technological details to be showcased at this World Expo, and all of them were technologies and even products that she recognized.

For example, an upgraded version of an adjustable sleep monitor.

In addition to retaining the previous adjustable sleep time and the option to dream or not dream, it also adds the effects of brain nerve relaxation and memory enhancement.

With long-term use, students can improve their memory, and the elderly can prevent Alzheimer's disease... This upgrade is really well done, Gu Xixi nodded repeatedly.

Personal aerial vehicle technology is relatively mature, but so far only military versions have been produced.

In addition to its previous functions as entertainment and smart home robots, holographic projection technology has added functions such as mental health therapy and "tit-for-tat".

Mental health therapy is easy to understand; it's about providing support to psychologists, helping them to treat and diagnose patients.

She didn't understand the specifics, but she did understand the other feature, "An eye for an eye."

This feature is used in the rehabilitation of convicts or juveniles with confirmed crimes, using realistic holographic projection technology to create a brand new life script tailored to them.

Let them experience what the victims went through, or let teenagers see what kind of life they would have if they continued on their current path, thus combining punishment and education.

This design and renovation idea is also very good. Gu Xixi has come to appreciate more and more the significance of technological progress in the lives of ordinary people.

Actually, the name of this project hasn't been decided yet. The name "An Eye for an Eye" was chosen by Chen Yu himself, which is quite fitting.

When it's displayed at the expo, I expect it to generate a huge response.

Other items on display include a youth version of a fighter jet powered by controlled nuclear fusion technology; a miniature mecha entertainment version; a silk handkerchief; a small tree with a large Ganoderma lucidum mushroom; and a ginseng set.

Gu Xixi felt that the technology she had acquired through the trade, even the rudimentary creations she had made, were enough to shock foreign media for a long time.

China is about to enter the cyberpunk era.

That will surely be another golden age.

[Once these are exhibited, some of them will sell for a good sum, and all the money will be used to build a space city and spaceships. Using other countries' gold coins to develop our own space program—just thinking about it makes me laugh out loud.]

Chen Yu's text message arrived again, and Gu Xixi expressed her agreement.

I'll try my best to come back for the expo two months from now. Please reserve a staff spot for me in the mecha demonstration section; I want to play. I'll also let everyone watch the rocket launch tonight.

After replying, Gu Xixi called Ran Qing and together they delivered the food to the dormitory building.

After moving in, Ran Qing went to call the others back for dinner, while Gu Xixi prepared a notification message for everyone to watch the rocket launch together that evening and sent it over.

The supermarket notified the people queuing outside in the afternoon that it would be open until 7 p.m. at the latest today, and would open again at 7 a.m. tomorrow. However, it would be open until 11 p.m. every day thereafter.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Shang Yu and the others obediently stayed in their dormitory with the door closed and did not come out.

Everyone else gathered in the supermarket's backyard to watch the live stream projected on a screen.

The satellite launch center has entered the final preparation stage.

As the sun sets, the sky turns into a black curtain.

Launch time arrived quickly. At 7:15, the countdown began on the screen: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, launch!

With this command, the rocket carrying the satellite soared into the sky, its tail fins bursting with blue flames in the air, flying at a speed faster than any rocket Gu Xixi had ever seen before.

However, Gu Xixi could not see the other improvements with the naked eye.

Chu Feng explained, "The working principle of a nuclear fusion rocket is to generate power through a nuclear fusion reaction to propel the rocket forward. In addition, it is equipped with solar panels to collect solar energy and provide the initial energy needed to trigger nuclear fusion."

"Compared to traditional chemical fuel rockets, nuclear fusion rockets are superior. For example, with conventional fuels, it would take astronauts about 500 days to travel to and from Mars, while nuclear fusion rockets can shorten this time to about six months. The endurance of nuclear fusion rockets is also very strong, and they will definitely be mainly used for deep space exploration in the future to help us uncover more of the mysteries of the universe."

Gu Xixi seemed to understand, but she knew the key point.

"Anyway, other countries have already been left light-years behind us."

"With such a unique existence, we will definitely reach that level." Ran Qing nodded, and the other soldiers took off their hats to salute the successful rocket launch.

After watching the live stream, everyone went back to rest, but Shang Yu and the others still didn't go out.

After washing up, Gu Xixi lay in bed, letting out happy laughs as she scrolled through her phone, looking at everyone's comments about the rocket launch.

Domestically, it naturally received widespread praise and hype.

Foreign media outlets were all shocked.

[This rocket launch by China is extraordinary; could it be the beginning of a new era for Chinese technology?]

[Impossible, they're a hundred years behind us, it's definitely a deceptive tactic.]

[By the way, they must have stolen the artifacts too, otherwise how could they have turned to ashes? This is just too bizarre.]

[Shameless! Who stole from whom? It disappeared in broad daylight, without anyone even approaching. It deserved to disappear; this is the punishment from the gods of China.]

"Yes, if you accuse us of doing it, then produce the evidence."

The gods of China are amazing! Please tell me which god is the most powerful; I want to come and worship you.

……

Meanwhile, in the pavilion behind the county government office in Xilan County during the Great Huang Dynasty.

On the stone table sat a plate of spicy beef jerky and a dish of sour plums. Zhao Liangyi held a bottle of cola, raised it to the moon, and said, "Muzhi, this 'fat man's happy water' really has a unique flavor, and it does make you feel inexplicably comfortable. It truly deserves the name 'happy water'."

"If you like it, I'll bring some more back for you later." Shen Qingyan sipped the warm, nourishing chicken soup and looked up at the moon. "The evening clouds have dispersed, revealing a clear, cold sky; the Milky Way is silent as the jade disc of the moon turns. This night is fleeting; where will we see the bright moon next year?"

“The moon has been the same for thousands of years, so what difference does it make whether you see it next year or not?” Doctor Zhao shook his head and comforted him, “Your bright moon is in your heart. As long as you remember it, it will be eternal, and you will see the bright moon at all times.”

Shen Qingyan nodded, put down the bowl, picked up the unfinished wooden doll, and continued carving under the oil lamp, chuckling, "What are Zhao Liangyi's plans for the future?"

“In a month, my junior brother will come to Xilan County to help me. After I leave, I will petition His Majesty to grant him this position. If you stay, he will certainly not treat you unfairly. My junior brother comes from a poor family and shares my interests. With him in Xilan County, I can rest assured.”

"No need. After you leave, I will travel the world and find a destined person to pass on my medical skills. If you are willing, after you die, I will take your ashes with me on my travels, so that you can see all the mountains and rivers of the world. What do you say?"

Zhao Liangyi smiled at Shen Qingyan, his eyes and brows exuding a carefree air.
