Chapter 278 Contact Daxia, Spring Festival visit! Eagle sauce postponed the drill? Is this a coward?
(already edited)

The next day was just two days after Christmas.

Lu Ze and Lucy returned to the town of Livermore.

Now it will be December 12.30th in two days, and their winter vacation will probably start on January 1.5th and will last until February 2th of the following month.

However, since Daxia’s Spring Festival is not until February 2.14th, Lucy also applied for spring break in advance. The two will be on vacation until March before they need to return to the laboratory to work.

This is why Lucy is so powerful that she can do whatever she wants in the LLNL laboratory.

If it were someone else, even if they were a professor and asked for leave from the laboratory, they would probably be slapped in the face.

As soon as she got home, Lucy was busy packing various luggage.

There were various gifts to be brought back to Daxia, as well as some skin care products for her daily use.

Standing in the bedroom, Lu Ze watched her packing her luggage and stuffing her clothes in one by one, as if he wanted to take all of her hundreds of different clothes with him.

Seeing this, he hurried over to stop it, with a 'black question mark' on his face: "Lucy, do you know that Daxia and Yingjiang are both countries in the northern hemisphere?"

"I know." Lucy gave him a very strange look.

Although the American people's knowledge of geography is very poor, there is no reason why she should not even recognize this common sense.

Daxia is definitely in the northern hemisphere just like Eagle Sauce, and the longitude and latitude of some areas of Daxia are the same as Alaska. She has seen this on the world map.

Hearing this, Lu Ze finally let out a long sigh and took out those short-sleeved shirts: "Why did you bring these clothes? The latitude of our Northwest Province is not in the subtropical zone."

"It's already snow season, why are you wearing these clothes?"

This is the northwestern province. Even in January when the sun is shining brightly during the day, the temperature will not be higher than two or three degrees Celsius. In the early morning, it can even drop to minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius.

In this weather, you brought short sleeves? Isn't it just like bringing a cotton-padded jacket to Qiongzhou, totally unnecessary?

Hearing this, Lucy pouted and said, "I can wear it indoors."

These clothes are so beautiful, she bought them specially to wear back to Daxia. If she doesn't take this opportunity to wear them, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
At this time.

Suddenly, Lu Ze seemed to remember something: "By the way, I have already booked the flight back to Daxia."

"On January 1th...we will fly there directly."

"Okay, I've prepared everything." Lucy nodded. She had packed almost all the gifts and clothes she was going to bring, and was waiting to mail them to Daxia in advance.

A few days ago, Lu Ze took his ID and Lucy's passport to book a flight to Daxia.

It’s the peak travel season here in the U.S. right now, so it’s hard to book flights to either Asia or Europe. As for direct flights to Lanzhou, the capital of the northwestern province?
This route has not been opened at all, and there are even relatively few flights that require transfers in Yanjing. Most flights require about two transfers to reach the Northwestern Province.

Although the "bionic robot" he now has can be exchanged for a crew to use the Boeing 777 as a business jet, it requires applying for a route from Daxia, and it is also easy to expose his identity.

Moreover, Lu Ze had already made up his mind that this seemed to be a better means of transportation for visiting Daxia.

Therefore, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Lu Ze chose to order the plane ticket more than ten days in advance, in case he had to think of other ways at that time.

At this moment, he immediately looked at Lucy next to him and said, "By the way, are you really not going to go back and visit?"

It seemed that since he met Lucy, he had never seen her go home.

This Christmas is almost as important as the Spring Festival in the West. So, you should at least visit your parents, right?

"I do have this idea." Lucy nodded, staring at Lu Ze with a malicious smile: "Then do you want to go back with me?"

She went back alone? Could she follow Lu Ze back to Daxia?

Don't even think about it, her parents will never let her out easily.

"Forget it then!" Lu Ze quickly refused!
But Lucy was planning to follow him back to Daxia. If his parents found out, she would probably get beaten up.

wrong.

Given the power that Lucy's family holds in America, they would probably just use a Gatling gun to fire directly.

Afterwards, they announced that Lu Ze had trespassed into their private territory of one hundred hectares.

Faced with these terrifying questions, it is best not to offend Lucy's parents at this moment, otherwise he will suffer the consequences.

Lu Ze thought: "I think I should contact them in advance and let them prepare."

What he wants to deliver is not just an aircraft carrier, including the newly acquired '955 Borei- strategic nuclear submarine'.

There are five ships in total, and two of them are "nuclear-powered aircraft carriers."

Think of this.

Lu Ze considered it for a moment, then decisively typed a line of text on the light screen of his eyeball and sent it via email.

[We are planning to visit Daxia during the Spring Festival. Is it convenient for us to receive you? ]

the other side.

Xiake Institute.

It is now noon, but the sky is still gray and there is not a trace of sunlight.

It was snowing heavily in Yanjing at the end of December. It was so cold walking outside that made people's limbs numb. It was impossible to stay outdoors for even a moment.

There is a saying that goes like this: the so-called cold in the south is damp and cold, like a magical attack that makes your bones feel like they are being pricked by needles. No matter how many clothes you wear, you can't bear it.

If we describe the coldness in the north, it would be like a 300-pound man punching you on the forehead. If you can't bear it, you will have to go straight to the ICU. Even if you can bear it, you will see stars.

If you encounter strong winds, you can feel the cold wind as if a knife is cutting your skin, causing pain, and it takes a lot of effort to open your eyes.

If you don't keep warm when you are outdoors, you are very likely to suffer various casualties due to hypothermia. If you faint or get drunk outdoors and are not discovered in time, you will only have to go to the funeral home to collect the body the next day.

Even a 'magic attack' would be vulnerable in the face of absolute temperature.

Although Yanjing is not as cold as the northern provinces, the temperature is still around minus seven or eight degrees Celsius for a long time.

The two old men, Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing, stayed indoors obediently. At least there was heating in the office, and it was better for them to avoid getting cold at their age.

"What? You're not going back today?" Zhang Yuli looked at Zheng Lixing strangely.

Today is Sunday. In the past, if nothing happened on this day, Zheng Lixing would take this opportunity to go home and hug his grandson.

As a result, he still stayed in the office this time, showing no sign of wanting to go home.

"At this time, I am in no mood to go back." Zheng Lixing waved his hand and sighed, "At least after the drill is over, it will be in time."

It seemed like more than half a month had passed since he last went home. Although his grandson at home had been clamoring to see him, Zheng Lixing remained unmoved.

He knew the priorities of things and knew he could go home whenever he wanted. His home was not in the south or thousands of miles away, but just a dozen kilometers away.

But if any unexpected situation occurs, the two of them must immediately notify Fu Hai, Wang Guanghai and others to make decisions. These things cannot be delayed for a moment.

The 'Asia-Pacific Joint Exercise' organized by the Eagle Sauce will be held in two days. How can he get away at this time?

After saying this, Zheng Lixing glanced at Zhang Yuli and teased him, "How dare you say that to me? You haven't been home for a long time."

They both lived here at Xia Ke Institute, and even their dormitories were not too far away. How could he not know that Zhang Yuli hadn't been back home for longer than he had.

It seems that he has not had a single day off since National Day.

Not to mention going home to play with grandchildren, even having a family reunion and a meal together is very rare.

Hear the words.

"I have to be free too." Zhang Yuli said unhappily, pointing at the documents on his desk.

He still had a lot of things to deal with on his desk at the moment, so there was no way he could get away easily.

Since joining the 'Top Special Secret Team', this situation has become the norm for the two of them. No holidays, no rest, and even no need for sleep.

In this world, there is never anything good that is unilaterally good, and there is even less good that can be enjoyed without taking any responsibility.

The higher-ups have given this group unparalleled authority, and likewise, they have responsibilities as heavy as a mountain. This is what they are supposed to do.

Even though Liu Zhixue seems not to be very busy, he actually needs to act as a liaison frequently, and occasionally needs to be on duty in the "top secret liaison room" on weekdays. He is actually very busy, otherwise he would not have gotten sick from being so busy.

At this time.

Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang.

Zhang Yuli quickly picked up the phone, his face filled with a serious expression, and he kept agreeing, "I understand," and "Okay, I'll pass the order on."

After hanging up the phone, his face was full of shock and he stood there in a daze.

Seeing such a strange expression on his face, Zheng Lixing beside him finally couldn't hold back his anxiety and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Did something happen suddenly?"

Hearing this question.

Zhang Yuli looked at him with a stiff neck, and said in disbelief: "Eagle sauce, actually postponed the 'Asia-Pacific joint exercise'"

He just heard the latest news from above. The Eagle Sauce notified all countries ten minutes ago that the "Asia-Pacific Joint Exercise" originally scheduled for December 12.30 would be postponed to a certain date.

The reason is that there were huge winds and waves on the sea on the 30th, and there was a fear of causing some accidental damage.

However, everyone scoffed at the explanation given by the Eagle Sauce. The satellite weather map clearly showed that the entire East China Sea would be almost clear two days later, with not even a few rainstorms. Where did the wind and waves come from?
However, due to the face of the Eagle Sauce, other countries did not say it clearly.

Immediately, Zheng Lixing frowned and asked quickly, "Is this postponed? Or is it postponed indefinitely?"

Postponement has two meanings. One is to postpone the drill due to an accident, and the second is to postpone it indefinitely, which is another way of canceling the drill.

"No, it's delayed until after the Spring Festival." Zhang Yuli shook his head.

He also didn't understand the meaning of this move. They in Daxia were already prepared for "battle" at any time, but you, Eagle Sauce, told me that the drill would be postponed with only two days left?
Isn't this a joke?

"Is the Eagle Sauce getting scared?" Zheng Lixing suddenly asked.

"It's unlikely." Zhang Yuli still denied it, "In terms of weapons and equipment, they are not behind. They have even rehearsed it for the whole world for so long. It doesn't make sense that they would be afraid when the final blow comes."

In terms of military, the strength of the Seventh Fleet, which does not belong to the Asia-Pacific region, should not be underestimated. The one aircraft carrier and one amphibious assault ship that Daxia has are not enough.

The other party has no reason to be afraid, and is even less likely to flee in the face of danger.

Then, there is only one final possibility.

The postponement of the drill was just a conspiracy on their part, with the purpose of launching a deadly move.

Now, it is to temporarily paralyze Daxia and interrupt their momentum.
Thinking of these thoughts.

Zheng Lixing sat back in his chair and said in a deep voice, "No matter what tricks they are playing, we will fight back when the enemy comes and block the water with earth."

"We were not afraid when we were penniless decades ago. There is no reason why we should be timid after putting on shoes!"

No matter what the Eagle Sauce wants to do, Daxia is always fully prepared.

Your own strength is what determines who has the right to speak, rather than relying on others.

Just when the two were wondering what Eagle Sauce meant.

Suddenly, a familiar series of rapid beeping sounds rang out throughout the office.

After the two looked at each other, Li Ke stood up quickly and ran towards a place.

Speak of Cao Cao and Liu Bei will appear!

This voice must be the "Great Wall Watch" organization contacting them.

After a while.

Several dozen meters underground in Xiake Institute, in a top-secret external liaison room.

Zhang Yuli's fingers were flying on the keyboard, almost so fast that only afterimages were left, making it impossible to see what commands he typed.

In just less than thirty seconds, he had unlocked all the more than ten security verification stages, and the background of the mailbox came directly into the eyes of the two.

There were only a dozen words written on it, but they made their eyes widen, with shock and joy written all over their faces.

[We are planning to visit Daxia during the Spring Festival. Is it convenient for us to receive you? ]

Look at this short email.

"Their organization is going to visit our Daxia again?" Zheng Lixing couldn't help but shout out excitedly!

PS: Please give me a monthly ticket!!
