He sat up straight instantly.

"You're incredibly audacious! Aren't you afraid the government will take action against you...?"

"To conduct an experiment?" He didn't say the last few words, but his eyes were full of worry.

The space that can hold things is so amazing that ambitious people all want to have it.

"You should keep this secret forever. You shouldn't tell the country, and you certainly shouldn't tell me."

The current national leaders are good; they didn't allow Lin Chuchu to be experimented on or dissected. But what if others find out and imprison Lin Chuchu?

His face twitched with fear as he grabbed Lin Chuchu's hand tightly.

Lin Chuchu reassured her, "The space isn't that magical, and once it's bound, no external force can separate it unless I die."

"Moreover, given the benefits that space brings to China, the top leaders will protect me at all costs."

She then told Mu Chen about the new functions that had appeared in the space.

“I don’t have much ability to protect myself, and I don’t want those national treasures to keep being lost abroad, so I reported the situation to the country.”

She has interests in the country, and only such a relationship is more reliable.

Leaving aside the replication function, the ability to store things in the space alone can be applied in many areas.

Therefore, the country will only support her, and unless it is serious enough to constitute treason, the Chinese leadership will not take action against her.

Mu Chen's face turned pale and then flushed. When he learned about the replication function, his heart skipped a beat. As a Chinese, he didn't want to give up any opportunity to retrieve a national treasure.

He took a deep breath. "After this leave, try not to leave the base if possible. After all, you can only be protected in the base."

"As for your family, if you miss us, we can come over."

Before he knew such a big secret, Mu Chen thought there was no need for the higher-ups to send someone to protect his family.

But now they feel it's still not enough. If the spies find out about Lin Chuchu's special qualities, they might send people to arrest the Mu family to threaten Lin Chuchu.

Lin Chuchu said with a wry smile, "No need to exaggerate, it's okay. Since the higher-ups have agreed to my leave, they must have made thorough preparations."

Even so, Mu Chen's brows were still slightly furrowed, but he didn't say anything.

Because he had something on his mind, Mu Chen got up very early and talked with Captain Qin in the study for a long time. He learned about the identity of the group protecting Lin Chuchu and felt much more at ease.

Before we knew it, it was the Lantern Festival. The city was not as strictly controlled as before. They even organized a lantern festival and allowed fireworks.

The moon in the sky was big and round, and people who had nothing to do at night went out of their homes and walked little by little from one end of the street to the center.

Mu Chen held Lin Chuchu's hand, with the two children on either side of them. Not far away, Captain Qin, Xiao Lu, and others were secretly protecting them.

There were many stalls on both sides of the street, as well as some food and lanterns.

Walking and stopping, before long, the two children were holding a small lantern and a string of candied hawthorns.

Lin Chuchu and Mu Chen also had candied hawthorns, but Lin Chuchu found them sour, so she took two bites and gave one to Mu Chen.

This year marks the first lantern festival, and the stall owners went from being cautious to beaming with joy, clearly indicating that business was booming today.

"Mommy, what's that? It's so cute."

Xiao Bao pointed at the sugar figurine and said.

Sugar figurines come in all shapes and sizes, mostly small animals such as pigs, dogs, and sheep, and they look incredibly lifelike.

Lin Chuchu smiled and said, "This is a sugar figurine!"

Seeing that the stall was quite clean and there was nothing to eat, Lin Chuchu bought one for each of the two little ones.

The sugar figurines were very sweet and didn't melt easily, so the two little ones stopped eating their candied hawthorns and focused on eating the sugar figurines instead.

Soon, it was time for the fireworks display. First, firecrackers attracted everyone's attention, and then fireworks burst in the sky.

The fireworks were not varied in style and were not as beautiful as those of later generations, but at that time they were definitely a rare sight.

The children clapped their hands as they watched.

There weren't many fireworks, and they were all gone in no time, leaving everyone wanting more.

There were still a lot of people, almost to the point of being packed together.

Seeing that Da Bao and Xiao Bao were too sleepy to keep their eyes open, and that her own ankles were aching from walking, Lin Chuchu decided to go home.

Mr. and Mrs. Mu also went out. There were too many people, and they didn't want to squeeze in. So they simply strolled around the neighborhood, found a less crowded spot, watched the fireworks display, and then came back.

Grandma doesn't like crowds, so she stays home and makes glutinous rice balls for the family.

After everyone returned home, they ate glutinous rice balls and went to sleep.

After the Lantern Festival, Lin Chuchu's holiday was short, and soon it was time to say goodbye.

The two little ones have become much more obedient. There's no need to make excuses to take them out anymore. The two little ones tug at Lin Chuchu and say in their baby voices that they will be good and wait for their mother to come home.

His sensible manner made Lin Chuchu feel a pang of sadness.

Once in the car, Lin Chuchu was still in a daze, and Captain Qin and Xiao Lu didn't know what to say either, so the car became quiet.

As the car drove into the military area, Lin Chuchu realized that the military area seemed to be expanding.

Lin Chuchu asked the political commissar who was standing by supervising the construction, and only then did she learn that the military region was about to establish a research institute.

The military region can also conduct research at that time, and tank research can also be carried out here.

Lin Chuchu's lips twitched; she probably couldn't go back.

The base is moving here, why would she go back?

This place not only houses the safest military base, but also the most important research projects, making it no less impressive than the original base.
