"Alright~"

The next moment, Candy’s attention was drawn to the battle armor in the middle of the laboratory.

With a sly grin, Candy said, "Brother, do as you please, I’ll just play on my own."

As she spoke, Candy jogged over.

What does it mean for me to do as I please? Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes helplessly.

Anyone would think this laboratory belonged to Candy.

Seeing Candy had already opened the battle armor, Mo Jingchun stopped paying attention.

"Zero, access all the data on neural connection technology."

"Data retrieved."

All afternoon, Mo Jingchun quietly sat in a chair in the laboratory, seriously reading and contemplating the information on neural connection technology on the computer.

From the principles to the application, Mo Jingchun read everything very carefully.

Even though he already had related knowledge in his mind, Mo Jingchun preferred the feeling of reviewing the information through reading.

A little past five in the afternoon, Mo Jingchun’s thoughts were interrupted by Candy.

Mo Jingchun looked up and glanced at Candy standing beside him, "What did you say just now?"

"Brother, I said the battle armor ran out of power."

"Oh, just have Zero recharge the battle armor."

"But it’s already past five, and my stomach is growling."

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun glanced at the bottom right corner of the computer.

17:26

Indeed, it’s already past five, time really flies when you’re focused.

Time just slipped by without notice.

Stretching his neck, Mo Jingchun said, "Zero, save the file, I’ll continue reading tomorrow."

"No problem, boss."

Hearing that her brother would come back tomorrow, Candy sighed.

How annoying, classes start tomorrow, no time to play with the battle armor.

"What’s wrong? Why are you sighing for no reason?"

"So young, what troubles could you have?"

Candy frowned, disagreeing intensely:

"Who says kids don’t have worries. Classes start tomorrow, that’s worrying enough for me."

"Is that all? No worries, once you see your classmates, you’ll forget all your troubles."

"The real troublesome time is in senior year, facing college entrance exams, studying day and night."

Upon hearing that, Candy wasn’t afraid; after all, high school felt distant to her.

Not only was she unafraid, but she was even a bit curious.

Candy looked up at Mo Jingchun with curiosity in her eyes, "Brother, how did you get through senior year?"

"Just got through it, without any pressure."

"Let’s go, otherwise your sister will think we’ve left if she can’t find us."

As Mo Jingchun pulled her along, Candy giggled and said:

"Sister isn’t that silly, Little Grey and Bun are still in the office, she’ll know we haven’t left."

"You’re just so smart."

As night fell, after preparing the items needed for tomorrow, Candy requested to watch an extra hour of cartoons tonight before the next holiday.

After several rounds of bargaining, they finally agreed on an extra half-hour.

On the first day back to work, Zhou Yaling had already spent her energy dealing with intern issues and was fighting sleepiness all afternoon.

Now she could barely hold on.

Yawning, Zhou Yaling stood up and said:

"You see, I’m going upstairs to sleep, today was especially tiring."

Without waiting for Candy and Mo Jingchun to reply, Zhou Yaling just left.

On the sofa, Candy and Mo Jingchun exchanged glances.

"Is sister’s job very tiring?"

"Not really, she’s just managing over a thousand interns. Not even as many people as your principal manages."

Candy gasped, "Over a thousand people?!"

"Our homeroom teacher handles just our class and constantly complains of headaches, yet sister manages over a thousand people, that’s amazing!"

"Tch~" Mo Jingchun smirked, bluntly saying, "By her managerial standards, your brother manages several tens of thousands of people. How come you don’t say anything about that?"

Candy raised an eyebrow and said, "Brother just drinks tea all day, right?"

...

From space, looking down at Blue Star, it appears as a glassy orb intertwined with blue and white textures, surrounded by a thin, blue "veil."

The other half of the blue blends like scattered stars in the cosmos.

That’s the twinkling lights of nightfall.

Beside the beautiful Blue Star is the Moon, orbiting around it, full of mysterious allure.

Throughout history, humanity has had endless fantasies about the Moon.

Chang’e flying to the moon, Wu Gang chopping wood, Jade Rabbit grinding medicine, Celestial Wolf devouring the moon, and so on.

Silent and serene, the crater-filled Moon has no division of day and night.

Deep beneath the secondary Moon Base of Xia Country, a scientific expedition team was, as usual, researching the massive artificial object before them.

In the distance, a series of robots tirelessly continued excavation and reinforcement work.

"Professor, still no luck."

The entire expedition watched as the so-called strongest human-developed acid, Magic Acid, had no effect on the silver, curved wall before them, leaving everyone visibly dejected.

The world has developed acids millions, even billions of times stronger than sulfuric, hydrochloric, or nitric acids.

Take HSO3F-SbF5 (Magic Acid) for example; it’s 10 million times stronger than 100% sulfuric acid.

Yet this incredibly powerful Magic Acid still left no trace on it.

Since the investigation began, they’d tried every conceivable method, but hadn’t damaged the alien artifact one bit.

Despite their self-proclaimed wisdom and civility, they were experiencing the fragility of human civilization for the first time.

What’s even more chilling is that the alien artifact, as it seemed to present itself, appeared as a seamless whole.

No traces of a potential "door" were ever found.

Perhaps the door leading inside was right there, but with humanity’s current technology, finding it was close to impossible.

Everyone remained silent for a while until the command was given from the Blue Star control center to withdraw, and everyone reluctantly began preparations to leave.

At that moment, an accident occurred.

A scholar tripped and fell, the cumbersome spacesuit preventing him from taking evasive action, leaving him to simply fall toward the silver alien artifact.

Upon contact, an even more terrifying event transpired.

The helmet visor of the sturdy spacesuit cracked instantly.

Like an egg hitting a rock.

The oxygen leak was visible, and the pace suit rapidly depressurized.

In these emergency circumstances, standby rescue teams began first aid procedures.

However, none of the expedition members paid the incident any more attention.

Everyone slowly withdrew, their eyes reflecting the shock of what they witnessed.

At some unknown moment, an arched door had suddenly appeared where the contact had taken place.

Neither small nor large, it was just big enough for one person to pass through.

The instantaneous change was too sudden.

The absence of sound or light, just an abrupt emergence of the door.

Blue Star.

Zero, who had entered a dormant state, suddenly opened its eyes, looking up at the sky in confusion.

There, an imperfectly round moon hung high in the sky.
