New Year, first day of the first month:
The spectacular "asteroid" collision in the early hours of the morning had practically ignited global public opinion.
Whether it was at home or abroad, when people woke up, they would find that the headlines were related to this incident.
From traditional news to online media, there was no lack of coverage.
On the surface, many astronomers claimed that this collision was unprecedented in the solar system's history.
Although many people also questioned how the two asteroids could collide so "beautifully," these posts and news were quickly drowned out by a large number of ghostwriters.
Those that couldn't be drowned out were simply deleted...
Secretly, everyone was shocked by the power of this antimatter bomb.
According to the calculations of the various governments' teams, if an explosion were to occur in low-Earth orbit, only three such antimatter bombs, arranged 120 ° apart from each other, would be needed to detonate them simultaneously.
The intense light radiation they would release would cause severe burns to all living creatures on Earth!
Plants would also be ignited, and the temperature of the air would rise to around 60 degrees Celsius.
This would indirectly cause the atmosphere to heat up, glaciers to melt rapidly, sea levels to rise, and 57% of the land would be submerged.
Perhaps there was no need to go through so much trouble. One could simply detonate one in Yellowstone Park and achieve similar effects...
Meanwhile, Transdimensional's UP still had one such antimatter bomb in his hands.
In the future, there might be more, bigger, and stronger fireworks like this.
Moreover, according to what Chen Yu said at the end of the program, he would detonate a star during next year's Spring Festival...
From the government to the audience, not many people felt that Chen Yu was joking.
Now that even an antimatter bomb had appeared, destroying a star shouldn't be a problem.
Even if a star was destroyed, destroying a star shouldn't be impossible.
In that case, destroying a star system and destroying the entire universe should also be within expectations...
The future development of human civilization was still unclear, but with Transdimensional's UP around, humanity seemed to be getting closer and closer to becoming a "virus."
At this point, the world's governments couldn't help but feel powerless toward Transdimensional's UP.
As for Transdimensional Review's attitude towards Transdimensional Review, the game developers' initial attitude of "investigate and control" changed to "investigate and cooperate", then to "investigate and balance", and finally, to "stop investigating. Just go easy on Transdimensional Review..."
Aside from observing, cooperating with the livestreams, and providing raw materials... the original Lords of Civilization seemed to be completely useless.
They had become side dishes.
Moreover, as Transdimensional Review brought out more and more "extreme" products, their side dishes would also become increasingly cold...
...
Bang! Bang!
New Year's Day, 6: 30 AM:
Suddenly, someone knocked on Chen Yu's bedroom door.
"Get up and eat." Mother Chen's voice came from outside.
Opening his eyes in a daze, Chen Yu picked up his phone and looked at the time. He then shouted in pain, "So early?
What are you doing? "
"The first meal of the new year must be eaten early.
You can sleep after eating. "
"F * ck …"
Sitting up, Chen Yu yawned and swayed as he put on his clothes.
After the livestream ended last night, he only went to sleep at three in the morning. It was now half past six, and he had slept for three hours at most.
Even though his physique far surpassed that of an ordinary person, he still felt dizzy.
"Mr. Chen, Happy New Year!" Little Peach jumped onto the bed and clapped her hands excitedly. "It's snowing outside!
Can we have a snowball fight? "
Hearing this, Chen Yu glanced at the snowflakes falling outside the window. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes.
Today, I'll bring you to play a snowball fight plus version. "
"Wonderful!" Little Peach cheered.
"Let me finish eating first."
After putting on his clothes, Chen Yu pushed open the door and walked out of his bedroom. His three little sisters were also half-asleep and staggering toward the bathroom.
From his point of view, they looked like three zombies pouncing on him …
"Brother, New Year … Ah …" Seeing Chen Yu, Chen Yike, who was about to greet him, couldn't help but yawn.
"Ah …" Chen Erke yawned as well.
"Ah …" Chen Sanke followed suit.
Chen Yu also wanted to yawn. However, when he thought of the dentures in his mouth, he held back.
After entering the bathroom, Chen Yu turned on the faucet and felt the cold water splash on his face.
"Hurry up and wash. The dumplings are going to solidify."
Mother Chen had woken up even earlier than Chen Yu. Although she was also too sleepy to open her eyes, she still finished cooking the dumplings and cooking.
"Got it."
Rubbing her eyes, Chen Yike snuggled into Chen Yu's embrace and washed her face with the second-hand water.
Following her example, Chen Erke snuggled into Chen Yike's embrace and washed her face with the third-hand water.
Seeing this, Chen Sanke squeezed into Chen Yike's embrace and washed her face with the fourth-hand water.
From afar, they looked like a human pyramid.
"..."
Looking at his little sister's "layers" under him, Chen Yu facepalmed and asked, "Can't you guys wait until I'm done?"
Chen Yike: "I don't even think you're dirty."
Chen Erke: "The water is still warm after you're done."
Chen Sanke: "You poured water on my head!"
After washing up, the Chen family's four young masters sat side by side on the dining chairs and watched as Mother Chen served plates of dumplings to the table.
Mother Chen: "Do you only know how to eat?
Don't you know how to use chopsticks and bowls? "
Chen Sanke: "Big Brother!
Yesterday's fireworks were so beautiful. "
Confused, Chen Erke asked, "Fireworks?
What fireworks? "
Chen Yu: "Big Brother isn't lying to you, right? Those fireworks were specially for you."
"Amazing..."
Chen Yike contemptuously said, "Tch, it's clearly an asteroid collision."
"That's right. I controlled the asteroids to collide and made them into fireworks."
Mother Chen's complexion darkened. "Are you treating me like air?"
Chen Sanke: "Big Brother, will there be more next year?
I want to see more. "
"Yes!" Chen Yu nodded. "Next year's will be even bigger. I promise."
Chen Yike said, "Experts say it's rare for asteroids to collide so close to each other. It won't happen next year."
Chen Erke: "What are you guys talking about?
[?_??]”
"…" Mother Chen clenched her fists and suppressed her anger. She took out the bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of the Chen family's four young masters.
"Everyone, hurry up and eat. I'll take you out to play once you're done," Chen Yu said as he received the chopsticks. He then looked at Mother Chen and asked, "Where's the soy sauce?
How are we going to eat dumplings without soy sauce? "
"… It's the New Year, so I'm not angry."
Mother Chen grumbled. Squeezing out a smile, she grabbed the soy sauce bottle from the shelf and handed it to Chen Yu. "For you."
Chen Erke: "Mom!
Where's the vinegar? "
"… Here."
Chen Sanke: "I want to eat sesame oil!"
Chen Yike: "Where's the chili, Mom?
I remember it was on the chopping board yesterday. "
Father Chen: "Honey, bring me the mustard."
Mother Chen: "Ahhh!!!"
…
The "parallel" timeline that was more than two thousand years away also ushered in the Lunar New Year.
But in the 40th century, this day was only a small festival, and not many people cared about it.
Outer Solar System, Kuiper Belt, Transdimensional Marketing Company's headquarters, second mezzanine space:
The salesperson in charge of Chen Yu stood up from the cockpit and walked up to the bright and clean window. With a wave of her right hand, a transparent powdery substance condensed into a goblet. Inside the goblet was a rich red beverage.
After elegantly taking a sip of the liquid, the salesperson sent out a message through her brainwaves.
"Block C, the eighth episode's growth value is enough for you to advance. You can start preparing that special product."
"Okay, that's not a big problem.
I'll leave the ninth and tenth episodes' products to Block B, then. "
"Sure."
After a simple communication, the salesperson set down the goblet and looked out the window into the darkness.
"We should be arriving at the node soon, right?
"Everything that can be done... has been done...
