Chapter 261 – Circling the Pacific Ocean (3)
Inside a quiet and depressing office, NASA’s director stared out the glass wall and at the big screen in the hall, his hands cold and his expression dull.
“D-Director! The funds have arrived!” At this time, a male assistant suddenly opened the door to the office and ran in while gasping for air. “Has the lottery started?”
“…It’s already ended.”
Removing his glasses with his trembling right hand, the director lowered his head and pulled out a cardboard box from under his desk. He then silently packed his office supplies into the box.
“Director…”
“Stop calling me that.” Picking up the cardboard box, NASA’s director scanned the chicly decorated office before muttering, “Listen. Do you hear that sound?”
“W-What sound?”
Closing his eyes, the former NASA director said, “It’s here. The sound of festivities…” (Add BGM here)
…
“We have our ten participants. I will now begin teleporting them here. The order is the same as usual.”
After saying so, Chen Yu skillfully manipulated the virtual globe and entered the address of the bullet comment group’s first member.
“First, Youtube’s RNGesus, LONGsenve!”
The next moment, space within the metal arch distorted, and a blond, brawny man with a big waist charged out of it. With a face flushed with excitement, the man spread out his arms and pounced on Chen Yu for a bear hug. “I got chose! I finally got chosen by the host!”
Having long since prepared for this situation, Chen Yu pulled out the High-frequency Lightsaber without hesitation. “Don’t come here!”
The brawny man abruptly halted his footsteps.
“Back away! At attention! Turn right! Start walking!”
“B-But the sea is on my right…”
“Yes. Just walk into the sea and cool yourself.”
“D-Don’t mess around, Host. I’ve calmed down already…” The brawny man raised his hands in submission, and obediently stood at a corner of the metal platform.
Storing the lightsaber away, Chen Yu approached the brawny man and scanned him with a sharp gaze.
“Gulp.” Like a bullied daughter-in-law, the brawny man pitifully asked, “H-Host, What’s wrong?”
Chen Yu did not respond. Instead, he suddenly removed his helmet, leaned closer to the brawny man, and inhaled deeply. “Sniff—”
The brawny man: “(ŎдŎ;)”
“Don’t mind it.” Chuckling, Chen Yu said, “The New Year is almost here. I’m trying to inhale some luck.”
The brawny man: “…”
“Now, let’s continue with the teleportation!” Chen Yu said as he returned to the Interstellar Portal and entered the second participant’s address. “Bilibili’s River Mountain 457.”
Half a minute later, a bespectacled, gentlemanly young man walked out of the portal. The young man then bowed and said, “Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to travel to space, UP.”
“Oh? You’re actually calm?” Chen Yu was surprised. “You have a great mentality!”
“I’m a clinician,” the youth declared as he pushed against his glasses. “I just injected myself with a tranquilizer.”
“…”
Subsequently, Chen Yu successfully teleported the bullet comment group’s three lucky winners.
Crazed Awakening, a university teacher. Sniff…
Dim Memory, a housewife from Korea. Sniff…
CC178, a cute girl from Japan. Sniff, sniff, sniff…
After getting a whiff of the five blessed individuals’ luck, Chen Yu put his helmet back on and quickly teleported the donation group’s five members.
The donation group’s members were: the Director of the China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation, a Director from the Airbus Company, the General Manager of Google Planetary Resources, a representative from Arianespace, and SpaceX Space Exploration Technology Corporation’s CEO—Elon Musk.
Chen Yu only exchanged a simple handshake with the first four people. However, when he arrived before Musk, he spread his arms and gave the latter a tight hug.
Chen Yu greatly admired Elon Musk.
In Chen Yu’s eyes, Elon Musk, who had devoted himself to the field of space, was a true pioneer of space.
Whether it was SpaceX, Tesla, or even SolarCity, Elon Musk had founded every one of these companies as a foundation to explore the universe in the future. He had never done any useless tasks, and his goal had always remained firm and down-to-earth. Money, status, connections, knowledge, technology…everything was a tool for his incredible career.
While there was a possibility that Elon Musk was merely putting on an excellent act, but so long as his facade remained flawless, Chen Yu’s favorability for him would not decrease.
“Hello, nice to meet you.”
“Hello, hello!” Musk responded joyfully, flattered by Chen Yu’s actions.
“Your company’s reusable rockets are a great achievement! Only a great company like it can help humanity advance,” Chen Yu said as he amiably patted Musk’s shoulders like a bigshot.
“Y-You’re overexaggerating. It’s just a meager achievement. Only a leader of future technology like yourself can lead humanity forward.”
“Mhm.” Nodding, Chen Yu said, “What you said is quite reasonable.”
“…Y-Yes.” Musk’s Chinese was poor, so his pronunciation was slightly off.
“Once the review is over, I might have a partnership to discuss with you.”
“Partnership?” Musk’s spirits sharpened. Tentatively, he asked, “Is it about space?”
“Yes. To be precise, it’s related to your dream. Truthfully, that is also one of my dreams.”
Hearing this, Musk’s pupils shrank.
“Alright, let’s not talk about that for now.”
Turning around, Chen Yu scanned the people on the platform before disconnecting the Interstellar Portal’s spatial link. He then approached the space capsule and tapped on the steel ladder, saying, “Since everyone is here already, let’s not waste time. Line up by your order of arrival, enter the space capsule, and wait for takeoff.
“The Earth Spray calculates all parameters intelligently, so the acceleration process should be stable. However, for everyone’s safety, those with heart disease, severe hypertension, fear of heights, and epilepsy, I recommend you withdraw from the event. Otherwise, I will not be responsible for any accidents that happen.”
Everyone shook their heads in response to Chen Yu’s suggestion.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even death would be a small price to pay if they could experience this ride…
“Good. Now, enter the capsule!”
At Chen Yu’s command, the ten participants lined up immediately and climbed up the ladder one after another.
“Wait for me!” Little Peach, who rode on a helicopter hovering in the distance, shouted anxiously. She then jumped straight into the ocean.
Splash!
“Wait for—guruguru… I want to—guruguru…”
After doggy-paddling for three minutes, Little Peach arrived at the metal platform.
Holding his forehead, Chen Yu said, “Are you crazy? I never said I was going to bring you.”
[Female assistant❤~]
[She’s wet.]
[What an excellent figure! She looks absolutely gorgeous!]
[It’s 2021. Anyone who doesn’t reveal their faces will be treated as Qiao Biluo.]
[You guys are just lusting for her body! Scoundrels!]
[Yes, I am lusting for her body. I am honest. ( ͡°͜ʖ͡°)]
Shortly afterward, everyone, including Little Peach, had entered the space capsule. They laid down on the glass window and stared at Chen Yu.
“A shocking scene is soon to come. To ensure everyone in the audience can get an exciting view, I will have the camera stay outside the capsule.
“In a way, those watching the livestream are more fortunate as those inside the capsule won’t get to see the super-fountain.”
After saying so, Chen Yu clicked the ‘Start’ button on the Earth Spray’s console. He then jumped into the space capsule, closed the hatch with a “bang,” and locked it.
[Testing complete.]
[Planning ascension route.]
[Planning complete.]
[Energy reserves at 100%.]
A mechanical voice echoed across the ocean surface.
Then, a thundering sound came from the pipeline underneath the space capsule…
Boom!
The next second…
The world shook!
