As his thoughts reached this point, Zhao Dong let out a long breath and stretched.
He felt that the world had changed too quickly, leaving his emotions incredibly complicated.
Even he himself had never imagined that one day, he would become obsessed with mining.
But that was the Moon!
They were building a lunar base!
True, the blueprints had been calculated by artificial intelligence, but players like them could also offer "suggestions"—that was, use the system's research function, spend points, and manually draft blueprints.
And as for where the points came from, naturally, mining.
The sense of accomplishment was undoubtedly maxed out.
For now, Zhao Dong was still very satisfied with this world. He reckoned that most people felt the same way.
Just looking at the people passing back and forth before him, he could see that they all walked slowly, a world apart from the hurried bustle of the past.
If someone were to conduct a happiness survey, then for this era, at least for now, the results would undoubtedly be maxed out.
Only for now.
This was exactly what Zhao Dong was studying.
His mentor had once said something quite insightful.
Only with contrast could there be happiness.
Everyone had once been poor and suffered hardship. Now, resources had suddenly become plentiful. They no longer had to run themselves ragged to make a living, and they had time of their own, so everyone felt immensely happy.
But when the next generation was born into all of this and enjoyed it from the start, they would take it for granted and would not feel such intense happiness.
Moreover, the Federation's welfare benefits could only increase in the future, never decrease. Otherwise, problems would arise.
Zhao Dong had not given this much thought.
His reasons for studying it were simple.
