After touring the spaceship, Secretary Li took Lin Mo to eat at his workplace.
The selection was not as varied as before the disaster, but there was a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, with unlimited staples.
Lin Mo found a corner and sat down with his tray. After a couple of mouthfuls of rice, something suddenly occurred to him.
"When are we setting up the portal on the moon?"
Sitting across from him, Secretary Li put down his chopsticks.
"That will take a little time. The moon has no atmosphere. It's a vacuum."
"Once the portal opens, if the air pressure on the two sides is unequal, the air will be sucked away instantly. That's very dangerous."
"So the engineering team is building a large sealed chamber to simulate a vacuum. The plan is to put the portal inside."
"It won't be long. Completion is expected in two days."
Lin Mo nodded and popped a piece of braised pork into his mouth.
"All right. Let me know whenever it's ready."
That worked out well. He had consumed an enormous amount of magic power over the past few days and needed time to recover, too.
For the next two days, Lin Mo enjoyed a rare stretch of leisure.
While consolidating his experience casting Portal Magic and refining the details of his magic power control, he wandered around Tianshu Underground City.
He watched the news to learn about the country's overall situation.
The disaster of Blue Star's Great Deceleration continued, but the Underground City system was running smoothly, supplies were distributed in an orderly manner, and public order was well maintained.
Compared to a few months earlier, when everyone had been numb, like the walking dead, people were now positively brimming with energy, smiles on their faces.
Life was worlds apart.
