"Latest news, due to the Beautiful Country’s high frequency of using spacecraft over the past two years, the Striver shuttle failed to deploy its parachute in time during its return to the ground at 19:9:38 today, veering off the runway and catching fire. Reportedly, this fire has caused irreparable damage to the Striver."

"According to our latest report, the Beautiful Country’s officials stated that the newly designed spacecraft was completed a month ago, and this Striver accident will not impact the space program."

"Stay tuned to our station for more updates."

At night, lying in bed, Mo Jingchun opened any short video app, and almost all the videos he saw were about the crashed spacecraft.

Honestly, the Beautiful Country’s achievements in aerospace are truly impressive. Just look at how many years the Striver shuttle has been in service; it’s simply unimaginable.

Moreover, the Beautiful Country’s private aerospace industry is the best in the world.

What has happened these past two years? Every country is flying to the Moon and building Moon Bases.

The real news online is also very limited.

In short, it’s quite baffling.

The Moon is rich in resources, which is well-known, but you have to have the ability to bring these resources back to Blue Star.

Furthermore, over-exploiting the Moon might potentially bring immeasurable disasters to Blue Star.

Just like in the movie "Moonfall."

Should the Moon really fall one day, don’t doubt it, that would be the end of human civilization.

Mo Jingchun shook his head and put down his phone.

"Sleep, sleep."

He doesn’t have any kind of advanced tech like a Spaceship, so there’s no point in worrying too much, it’s just pointless fussing.

The netizens who love a spectacle slept soundly, while the officials of the Beautiful Country couldn’t sleep at all.

Yes, they have produced new spacecraft, and the new spacecraft has undergone comprehensive technological upgrades.

But! It has not been test-flown even once!

No one knows if there are any fatal design flaws in the new spacecraft.

According to the original plan, later on two space planes were supposed to be in service simultaneously.

"NO! NO! NO! Jason, I must be responsible for the newly designed spacecraft. I absolutely cannot allow it to go into service without undergoing a series of tests."

In the huge base, a group of people stood under a brand new white spacecraft, engaged in a heated argument.

Both sides refused to back down.

"John, you have to understand, if we pause our space program, the East will surpass us in no time."

John, with golden hair, a face full of wrinkles, and wearing reading glasses, angrily shook his head and shouted: "No, I simply don’t understand what you all are fighting for!"

"According to the treaty, the Moon belongs to the entire world! And we’ve already built a Moon Base there."

"Why can’t we take a break? Do you know what the citizens outside are saying? They say we are wasting taxpayers’ money!"

Engaging in a space race is undeniably costly, a luxury that most countries cannot afford.

"If it’s just about transporting supplies, I think SpaceX Company would be delighted, and it would even be more cost-effective."

"Isn’t that right, Jason?"

The two of them stared at each other, and everyone else remained silent.

"OK! I’ll give it a try."

On Saturday, Mo Jingchun, who went to bed late the previous night, didn’t intend to get up for breakfast.

He decided to sleep in, and wake up at eleven to catch lunch.

No need to cook for himself anymore, he thought, just wake up to food ready to eat. Blissful.

Half asleep, he heard the door open, but he didn’t pay much mind and continued to sleep.

At home, Zhou Yaling wouldn’t just barge into his room without a word.

There was only one possibility—it was his little sibling visiting.

Mo Jingchun guessed right; the visitor was the adorable little troublemaker.

Just now, Candy used her mouth to bite a bag of pure milk, freeing her hands to tiptoe and open her brother’s room door easily.

As soon as the door opened, Candy shivered.

So cold, brother keeps the air conditioning so low when he sleeps.

In bed, brother was lying sideways, not clear whether he was playing with his phone or sleeping.

Drinking the pure milk, Candy tiptoed to the other side of the bed.

Bummer, brother wasn’t playing on his phone, just sleeping in.

Boring, not fun at all.

Sister was on the computer and just gave her a bag of milk to get rid of her.

Brother is sleeping in, definitely won’t play with Guoguo.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed Candy became, so she sat on the carpet to drink the milk.

Within moments, she finished the whole bag of milk.

Standing up to throw the bag in the trash, she even noticed her stomach gurgling.

Hehe, wouldn’t tell sister she already had a bag of milk downstairs before coming up.

Rubbing her full tummy, Candy was invigorated, full of energy yet nowhere to channel it.

Thinking for a moment, Candy took off her shoes, climbed onto her brother’s bed, and started playing with his phone.

Mo Jingchun, now half-awake, knew his sister was up to no good again.

No problem, as long as she didn’t disturb his sleep.

After about half an hour, the little rascal got bored with the phone too.

No one to play online ranks with, even Kings of Glory became boring.

Leaving the phone aside, she started climbing up the headboard for fun.

And it was indeed fun, quite amusing. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

As the rascal was engrossed, her foot slipped and she fell.

Unfortunately, her feet landed directly on her brother’s face.

The little rascal was stunned instantly.

On the bed, Mo Jingchun, clutching his nose, blurted out a classic national exclamation.

It really hurt!

Seeing her brother’s eyes, a panicked Candy scurried to pull on his hand, saying:

"Sorry, say it’s okay."

Mo Jingchun, holding his nose, didn’t want to speak, turned his head away.

With all her strength, the little rascal turned his head back, still insisting:

"Brother, you say it, say it’s okay."

The little rascal bit her lip, already deciding in her heart she must make her brother say it’s okay.

Otherwise, she’d surely get spanked later.

Out of the office, she had nowhere to find a safe haven now.

"Say it’s okay."

Obviously, while the rascal kept pushing him to say it’s okay, inwardly she was panicking like crazy.

Mo Jingchun, still hurting, grew angrier the more he listened. What, there’s enforced apology now?

"Brother, quickly say it’s okay."

Panic-stricken, Candy watched her brother’s silence, felt the urge to flee.

Otherwise, she couldn’t comfortably continue playing.

The quiet Mo Jingchun quietly looked at his sister, he really didn’t want to say those three words.
