Chapter 238 Another Meteor from Outer Space
Afterwards, Li Xiang burst into tears every time he thought about it.
He feels that it is not necessarily impossible to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
If there is no moon, we can ask extraordinary people who are good at illusion to use their supernatural powers to materialize a bright moon. The moon should not be too big, and it can be hung above the base hall. We should try to create a realistic scene, so that every child who has never seen the moon can come and appreciate the moon, eat moon cakes, and tell stories about Chang'e flying to the moon, Wu Gang cutting the cassia tree, and the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine.
This is "hope". The inheritance of civilization.
What Li Xiang wants to do is not to let everyone linger on, but to live with hope and fight with hope until human civilization is revived and a new era begins again.
Of course, if the technology is well preserved, it can also be experienced in a variety of ways, such as holographic projection and the metaverse.
As for Qingming Festival, there is no need to say much.
Even if it is officially banned, it cannot be stopped.
Throughout history, there have been many difficult times, filled with danger and uncertainty, with people starving and living from hand to mouth, but people would spontaneously perform related rituals on this day. Even if they could not visit the graves or burn paper money, they would kneel down and kowtow.
These festivals are part of Chinese civilization and are quite important elements that have influenced generation after generation.
The more difficult the times, the more we need spiritual support and psychological adjustment, and various festivals and related rituals are the best way.
In the ice and snow, Li Xiang made cured fish and then began to practice.
His practice still involves doing various chores most of the time, such as tending the vegetable garden, clearing snow, etc.
It snowed heavily for many days and the snow didn't melt. Li Xiang piled up the snow in the front and back yards and built an ice castle.
For the water-scarce Northwest region, this snow is a good thing. It should be stored in water cellars and used when it melts in spring.
As the name suggests, a water cellar is a cellar for collecting rainwater. It is shaped like a gourd, with a relatively small mouth and bottom and a relatively large middle part. Its depth is very particular and needs to meet certain standards.
Because the underground temperature is relatively low and cool, the water stored in the water cellar for a long time will not become moldy or deteriorate. However, if the depth of the water cellar does not meet the specified requirements, the water in the water cellar will become moldy or deteriorate over time.
Although many places now have running water, the water in the water cellar is better for watering flowers and vegetables than tap water. Some frugal families use it for bathing and flushing toilets, which can also save a lot of water bills.
However, Li Xiang's hometown has abundant water, so there is no need to collect the snow.
As Li Xiang was working, his breathing method was naturally integrated into his every move. The spiritual energy in his body was like the Yangtze River, surging endlessly. Suddenly, he felt a warm current surging in the upper left abdomen, approximately where the spleen was, and it seemed that a spiritual energy vortex was about to form.
This is a sign of a breakthrough.
Li Xiang had experienced this kind of situation too many times, so he was not panicked at all. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, slowly practiced breathing techniques, and supplemented it with special movements to guide the flow. Finally, after expending a lot of energy, he finally smoothed out the trend of this spiritual power vortex.
Well, I finally suppressed it again and successfully prevented the "restlessness" from entering the eighth level.
If those extraordinary colleagues from the previous life saw this, they would probably be shocked.
Because ordinary extraordinary people, when they encounter such a breakthrough opportunity, they must be eager to condense the spiritual power vortex. Every time a spiritual power vortex is condensed, one can be promoted to a higher level. This is such a rare opportunity. Most people want to upgrade but don't have the chance.
However, Li Xiang is now taking a steady approach and feels that he needs to continue polishing and refining his skills, so he is suppressing it.
He is the chosen one, with a system to support him and an endless supply of elixirs, so he never has to worry about not being able to ascend.
This is not the first time he has done this. At the eighth level, he has suppressed it for the fourth time. He may not be able to hold it back and explode at any time.
This is the "hold back" trick he learned by himself. Try to hold it back and keep it steady. When you really can't hold it back any longer, release it. It will be more refreshing. No, if you break through again, you will be stronger! At the same level, the strength is stronger.
He also shared this trick with Luo Feifei and Jiang Caier, asking them to try their best to do the same. It includes many details, such as how to stabilize the mind, how to guide the flow of spiritual power, what rhythms and beats are in between... It is very detailed and cannot be explained in one sentence.
It can be said to be a secret that is not passed on. He will not teach it unless you are a super genius or a very good friend.
Well, by analogy, this "hold back" tactic can also be used in other areas.
Li Xiang went to see the little white elephant.
The little white elephant, its mother, and the entire elephant herd now live on the China-Laos border, in a wild elephant nature reserve located in the Chinese territory. After all, that side is further south, and although there have been several heavy snowfalls, they have now melted and the temperature has risen. The weather forecast predicts rain and snow in a few days, but overall, it will be warmer than Sichuan Province.
From north to south, there is a temperature gradient, and the weather conditions of rain and snow are also different. The only common point is that the world is getting colder.
Some experts have commented that global cooling is not necessarily a bad thing, and we can increase carbon emissions and no longer need to be so cautious.
In fact, this expert's unexpected success does make sense. Increasing carbon emissions will accelerate all kinds of development. The end of the world is coming, so why bother about carbon emissions?
Li Xiang naturally would not favor one over the other. He also went to Siberia to see the little golden tiger, the little phoenix tiger and the tiger mother.
This litter of tigers is stronger than the mother and cub white elephants. Firstly, the upper limit of the potential of the little golden tiger is the Saint level, and secondly, with one more tiger, they have three exotic beasts in one family.
The mother tiger is a snow demon tiger, and the sister tiger is a red-striped phoenix-winged tiger. They may evolve wings in the future, which will give them even more power and allow them to fly without reaching the saint level. The little golden tiger seems to have the attributes of wind and thunder, and is a high-end combat force of the twenty-second level.
When Li Xiang went to visit the cute pets, he certainly didn't go empty-handed. He gave each of them some elixirs as gifts. He also taught them how to practice breathing techniques, and they played and interacted with each other to enhance their emotional exchanges.
The elephants are relatively docile, but these tigers are much more naughty, jumping up and down and showing extraordinary abilities.
Unfortunately, it is not convenient to bring them back to Lijia Village, so they can only be released into the outside world for the time being.
Li Xiang originally wanted to signal that these tigers migrate to the northeast, into the country, where there are almost no poachers, and it is safer. But then he thought that tigers are different from other animals. They are born to fight. The worse the environment, the greater the training and improvement of them, so let nature take its course.
In addition, after taking Li Xiang's elixir and practicing breathing techniques, his strength will only get stronger and he will not necessarily be afraid of poachers.
Xu Xuan called and said that there was something important and asked him to go to Rongcheng to meet him.
"It's not convenient to go into details over the phone, but we received news that a meteor also fell in the United States a few days ago, and then some cases occurred in the surrounding towns. Come over and we'll talk in detail."
Li Xiang: "..." He frowned slightly. He had a premonition that there were definitely more than one of those scattered animal eggs floating in the space. As time went by, he might encounter more.
Unexpectedly, one came right away.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Li Xiang went to Rongcheng alone. He went to find out the situation first.
In Chengdu, Xu Xuan took him to meet Mr. Xu and several other elderly people, and they held a meeting.
"Jingcheng's intention is to let you lead a team to investigate. If it is a strange beast, it would be best if you can bring it back. Don't let the Americans capture it alive. Besides, the Americans can't catch it either."
Li Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "In a foreign country, the situation is unclear, and there is no strong support and cooperation like in China. I can't guarantee that I can catch him alive."
Because this space beast has a very high upper limit, far exceeding the mutant creatures on Earth. If you kill it, the reward is absolutely generous. Last time Li Xiang sent a living beast to the country for research, it was actually a big sacrifice.
So this time, Li Xiang wanted to kill him.
Then, what he said was also true. When carrying out a mission across borders, the Americans would not mobilize resources to help, and might even obstruct and create obstacles in various ways. The mission was much more difficult than at home.
Mr. Xu nodded, showing his understanding: "If we can't catch them alive, corpses will do. Also, your own safety is the most important thing. The one in the capital has said that if you complete the mission, you will not be treated unfairly."
This space monster involves new technology and new materials. By researching this technology, we will be far ahead of other countries. The other side of the ocean has always been China's number one competitor, so naturally we want to snatch it away.
In addition, we cannot allow this kind of thing to grow. Although the dead are Americans in the United States now, the earth is so small that at the speed of that kind of thing, it will be easy for it to come to China in the future.
For both public and private reasons, Li Xiang felt it was necessary to make the trip.
Afterwards, the old man explained some things, including that the identities of Li Xiang and others had been arranged. The trip would be on official business and technical exchange, and it would not be just Li Xiang and his group that would go, but also some other people who would be accompanying the team.
Although China and the United States are competitors, they cooperate in many areas.
This time, there will be a cooperation forum and exchange conference in the energy field in San Francisco, California. Li Xiang and his colleagues will go there as technical experts, engineers, secretaries, security personnel, etc.
Including Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou, everyone will go there.
Although the mission is full of dangers, it is a good opportunity to gain military merit. The Xu family and the Zhang family happen to have two such extraordinary people, so they naturally have to participate.
First, Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou wanted to go. They were very excited and didn’t want to be absent. Second, the family elders also supported it.
True elites are never cultivated in a greenhouse.
With their family background, if they do nothing but lie down and do not make any serious mistakes, they can have a worry-free life and even hold a high position. However, that would not meet the requirements of future heirs to the family.
Moreover, the person in the capital is also paying attention to this operation.
