"Is it about the Old Russians’ space shuttle being requisitioned?"

On the other side, Su Wenyan, standing outside the only hotel at Anyang Base, paused for a moment and glanced back at the Old Russians’ representative stationed at the base.

"Boss, how did you know?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun chuckled and said, "I just received the notification from above as well. I’m already aware of this matter, you don’t need to worry about it. Someone will come to take the space shuttle in a few days."

"Oh, by the way, there’s something I need to give you a heads up about."

"Boss, please tell me."

Su Wenyan mentally prepared herself, but Mo Jingchun’s next sentence brought her joy beyond expectation.

"The production line for the space shuttle will be increased; how many lines exactly is still undetermined, which means your work will be a bit more challenging."

"Boss, I don’t feel it’s challenging at all; the more production lines, the merrier!"

Joking, the production lines for the space shuttle are all fully automated; what Su Wenyan needs to do is nothing more than drive around for routine inspections for any anomalies.

The workload hasn’t increased much, yet the performance has skyrocketed. Such a good thing, the more, the merrier, Su Wenyan really wants to say.

Mo Jingchun shook his head and didn’t say anything more.

Su Wenyan’s work is almost flawless.

Just as Mo Jingchun hung up the phone, the cellphone rang again.

Mo Jingchun looked carefully, feeling a bit surprised.

"So quick there’s a result?"

With doubt, Mo Jingchun answered the call from Qin Yuzhu.

"Hello, Qin, it’s me."

Qin Yuzhu, who had just left the airport and sat in the company car, rubbed her forehead tiredly, and said:

"Just received the notification, your application has been approved from above. I will send you the detailed arrangements via email once I reach the office. I just left the airport now."

"Good."

Regarding this result, Mo Jingchun felt an unexpected calmness, as if it was supposed to be this way.

It’s not due to Mo Jingchun’s arrogance, but under the current context, no nation would let go of the opportunity for a stable long-term working controlled nuclear fusion reactor.

What does infinite clean energy mean? There’s no high-level person who doesn’t understand it.

Some countries go to war at all costs just to seize the development of oil.

Oil is such, let alone the energy brought by controlled nuclear fusion.

Once confirming no more calls are coming in, Mo Jingchun put the cellphone back in his pocket.

At this time, Mo Jingchun noticed Candy was furiously watering a hole in the flowerbed that appeared out of nowhere.

Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing?"

Candy glanced back at her brother when asked, "Brother, aren’t you curious about this hole? Surely it’s a mouse hole, don’t you think.

Watch how I use water to flush the mouse out of its hole."

At this moment, the network of tunnels one meter underground was flooded with water.

The mouse, standing on its two feet, took a last look at its home, then ran headlong out of another hole.

While escaping, the mouse thought of its ancestor.

If not for the ancestral teaching, always leaving multiple escape routes wherever they nested, it would have become a drowned rat.

Seeing the faint light not far away, the mouse picked up speed.

Leaping out from a hidden hole, in the next second, the mouse saw a furry big paw greeting its head.

In the instant it flew out, the mouse seemingly saw its ancestor.

"Meow~"

"Bun, can’t you see I’m busy with the mice? Go play by yourself, don’t tug at my pants leg."

Beside him, Mo Jingchun was surprised to see Bun jumping over from outside the yard, along with a plump mouse pinned under Bun’s paw.

That drenched appearance looked as if it had just been fished out of water.

Wait a minute?

Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy still watering the hole, then looked back at the mouse under Bun’s paw.

Could it be such a coincidence?

"Candy, I think you should look at what’s under Bun’s paw?"

"What?" Candy confusedly looked back at her brother, then glanced down.

"Oh my gosh."

Staring wide-eyed at the mouse, Candy felt a chill down her spine, quickly retreating over three meters.

"Meow~"

At this point, Candy noticed something was off about the mouse.

Smart Candy quickly connected it to the mouse hole.

"This mouse from the hole? Where did it pop up from, why didn’t I see it."

While Candy was talking to herself, Zero, who disappeared sometime ago, came over with a glass jar from the house.

Mo Jingchun glanced, it was the glass jar from yesterday’s canning.

Putting on gloves, Zero nonchalantly grabbed the mouse under Bun’s paw and stuffed it into the jar.

Screwing on the lid, cutting off air, it wouldn’t take long for the mouse to suffocate.

Dumping the gloves into the trash bin, Zero grinned and lifted the jar in his hand, saying, "Want this, Candy?"

"If not, I’ll toss it into the big trash bin outside."

Upon hearing this, Candy shook her head like a rattle.

"No, no."

"Okay, then I’ll throw it."

"Stop watching me, just look at your pants leg, it’s all soaked. Quickly go change them or your sister-in-law might see it and give you a lesson."

"Sister-in-law wouldn’t." Rolling her eyes, Candy chuckled and said, "I think the chances of sister-in-law teaching you a lesson are greater, you can’t even take care of a kid properly, am I right, my dear brother?"

"You’re asking for it."

Even before moving, Candy had already dashed back into the house.

Shaking his head, Mo Jingchun picked up the watering can that Candy left on the ground.

Once Zero returned, Mo Jingchun said, "Check around, don’t let mice get into the house."

"Boss, leave it to me, I’ll dig three feet deep and find the mice around."

Not too concerned, Mo Jingchun nodded and went inside.

A few minutes later, Xiaofeixia and Hawkeye, each holding a soldier’s shovel, followed Zero.

On Zero’s shoulder, Bun lazily licked its paw.

Suddenly, Zero halted, pointed to the corner of the wall and said:

"Here, dig downwards. There’s a nest of baby mice inside, who’s going to tolerate that."

Xiaofeixia and Hawkeye exchanged glances, unsure what got into this man’s mind today, determined to fight the mice.

Without a word, Xiaofeixia and Hawkeye swung the military shovels, digging vigorously where Zero pointed.

Before long, they did dig out a nest of mice.

A nest of baby mice yet to open their eyes.

As dusk fell, Zero returned home with Bun after his sweeping task, acting as if nothing happened.

On the other side, everyone was crowding around Xiaofeixia holding a small plastic bucket.

The bucket was filled with exterminated mice.

"So many?"
