Everything looked so natural and fresh, yet it felt completely unfamiliar.
Lu Yuan walked up to the car and looked at the people inside. He immediately saw Xiao Pinghai.
"You're the chief designer of this satellite base, aren't you?"
The other person paused slightly, then reached out from the car and shook hands with Lu Yuan: "You... hello, I'm Xiao Pinghai, you... are you Chinese?"
"That's right! I am Chinese! Welcome home!"
Xiao Pinghai was stunned upon hearing this: "This...this is China?"
"No, this should be considered my territory, but I'm Chinese, so this place belongs to China! Let's get out of the car! By the way, could you please check if this satellite is damaged?"
Xiao Pinghai nodded and then used some technical terms on some of the scientists beside him.
So they began to check the satellite's safety. Fortunately, they didn't drive very fast along the way and avoided some ditches and uneven roads, so the satellite was intact.
"The inspection is complete, and the satellites are all in good condition! There is no damage!"
"Great! Everyone, you must be starving! Come with me quickly, I'll arrange your lodgings first, and also tell you what you'd like to eat?"
Xiao Pinghai and his men were starving. As for what to eat, they felt that as long as they could fill their stomachs, nothing else mattered.
So, Lu Yuan led them to the first building next to the laboratory.
"Alright! This is your place. You'll stay here from now on! How about you take a shower and have a meal first?"
Xiao Pinghai asked with a hint of anticipation, "Can we eat first? We can take a shower later!"
"Haha! Of course, no problem! Please follow me!"
Next, Lu Yuan led them to the laboratory's cafeteria.
Since it wasn't mealtime yet, there was no one inside. However, upon learning that these scientists were coming, Lu Yuan had already instructed the people inside to prepare food.
Seeing the dazzling array of food on the table, the scientists, who were already starving, no longer cared about their manners and rushed over to grab the food and began to wolf it down.
Seeing their awkward expressions, Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong exchanged a glance and both sighed.
"We've finally got everything sorted out! I never imagined our journey would be so difficult!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "Yeah! It's been so tough! From the underground fortress until now, we've been on edge for over a year! Finally, we can finally have some peace and quiet!"
"It's not easy! I wish I could go back to China right now! By the way, I wonder if China can still launch satellites normally, and if we can find Xiwen through satellites. What if Xiwen isn't in China?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan shook his head: "I think it's better to launch it from our own territory! Otherwise, it will always feel like we're not on our own land in a foreign country. We went through a lot of trouble to get this satellite, and it wouldn't be good if something went wrong!"
"Alright, let's go back then! When are we going back?"
"Let them finish their meal and see what the scientists have to say!"
So the two waited quietly until the scientists had finished eating everything on the table before they went over.
"Ahem, is everyone full? If not, we can continue tonight. You haven't had a proper meal in a long time, so it's best to control your intake, otherwise it will have a big impact on your stomachs!"
At this moment, Xiao Pinghai stood up with tears in his eyes and looked at Lu Yuan: "Mr. Lu, thank you, thank you all!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Great scientist, no need for thanks. You'll still have to help me with some things later!"
"No problem! Of course, no problem! You're planning to launch this satellite into space, right?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "That's right. We've been searching for so long just to restore communication, because we're looking for someone! He's very important to us!"
Xiao Pinghai immediately replied, "Don't worry, we have plenty of experience to launch this satellite into space!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized he might have said something wrong: "Um... if only there were rockets!"
"Haha! Don't worry, we've brought the rocket back! Go back and take a good shower and get some rest. We'll come find you again first thing tomorrow morning!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Pinghai and the others were stunned.
"What? You guys got the Rockets too?"
"Yes, we've already received what President Freeman gave us in exchange!"
"What? You rescued President Freeman too?"
"That's right, President Freeman is currently in Mexico, but you can meet him after communications are restored! By the way, I have a few questions about this satellite. After launch, will it be attacked by monsters?"
Xiao Pinghai immediately shook his head: "Mr. Lu, don't worry! This satellite was specifically created to prevent monster attacks! Moreover, this satellite is a comprehensive satellite, which not only has communication, weather and reconnaissance functions, but can also be controlled by adjusting its position through the ground, and can even make contact with people on Mars!"
Upon hearing the other party's last words, Lu Yuan chuckled: "Sorry, we've never even considered contacting the people on Mars. They've abandoned us, and there's no need for us to communicate with them! This Earth is our territory now! If they want to leave, let them leave!"
