At the dinner table.
Su Mu looked down and sent a few messages to Zhou Jianhua.
We've used up all the mushroom bombs we had before, and I don't know if he has any left.
If they were available, Su Mu would take them all.
"Why are you playing on your phone while you're eating?"
Seeing that Su Mu had finally come all this way, and was engrossed in playing on his phone, Wang Peng couldn't help but say something.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu thought for a moment and then put her phone away.
"You've been gone for so long lately, do you know that the rice we eat now has changed? Try this, I had the hotel bring the rice I bought to make this."
Wang Peng looked at the rice that was served, smelled its aroma, and after confirming that it was cooked from spirit rice, he quickly pushed it in front of Su Mu.
The rice cooked from the spirit rice is plump and even has a slightly translucent appearance, and its aroma is especially intoxicating.
Does this guy think he's a savage who's never eaten before?
"I don't know how this spirit rice was developed. It's so delicious, and the yield is astonishing. One acre can produce 10,000 catties. That's incredible."
When Wang Peng and the others mentioned the spirit rice, they couldn't help but start talking about it.
"I find our country increasingly incomprehensible. Ever since the first light pillar incident, unexpected things have been happening to our country frequently."
"You bet! I still feel like that Floating Island is some kind of advanced technology. I'm guessing it used some kind of anti-gravity system."
The more they talked about it, the more excited they became.
After a few drinks, they became even more enthusiastic when talking about this.
"Bite!"
Just as the group was chatting, all of their phones simultaneously beeped.
They then picked up their phones and, after seeing what was displayed, were stunned for a moment, their faces filled with surprise and delight.
"Hey, speaking of those beams of light, it's starting again!"
On several people's phones, warnings were displayed about impending large-scale power outages in several areas.
The same story as before, but the time was changed to 1 a. m.
"I wonder if there will be any results this time? It's really strange, why is it that only after the pillar of light does some high technology appear? Could there be something special about this pillar of light?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's some kind of high-tech gadget. Those things were developed using this high technology, and then this high-tech stuff is really power-hungry."
Several people held their phones, looking at them over and over again, their faces beaming with joy.
At that moment, not only them, but also the other guests in the hotel received the message.
In their excitement, the guests immediately started drinking to celebrate.
Not only were they excited, but netizens online were even more thrilled.
Now, a belief has formed in their minds that after each pillar of light, their own country will become increasingly powerful.
"In previous visits, these places almost always had a one-day holiday, but this time the time is scheduled for the early morning, which is terrible."
"I heard that several satellites were moved, relocated to a position around 7 or 8 o'clock. There are now many more satellites in the area where the beam of light is appearing."
"Ugh, it's 1 a. m., and it'll probably last for several hours. If we wait, we won't find out what big news it is until 6 or 7 a. m. Then, will we even be able to go to work the next day?"
Netizens were also a bit annoyed by the renewed barrage of messages.
The day of the massive power outage was a Wednesday, and they still had to get up and go to work.
But if I don't stay up late to watch it, I always feel like I can't fall asleep. But if I do stay up late, it turns into an all-nighter, and then how am I supposed to go to work the next day?
The thought of this filled them with immense distress.
Wang Peng and his colleagues, however, had no such concerns as those expressed by netizens.
He's a manager at the company, so being a little late for work is no big deal.
They had already decided that they would stay up all night to watch the beam of light.
At this moment, a group of high-ranking foreign officials also learned of this news, and they were so angry that their chests felt tight.
This Huaxia don't value martial virtue. They used to start their tests at 7 or 8 o'clock, but after they mobilized satellites to monitor them, they immediately changed the time.
Wouldn't their satellite surveillance be completely useless then?
After a satisfying meal, Wang Peng wanted to take Su Mu to experience the nightlife that followed.
By this time, it was already getting a little dark.
Su Mu suddenly frowned and declined the other party's kind invitation, "I have something to attend to and need to leave for a bit."
After saying that, Su Mu took out his phone and asked the liaison officer to arrange a plane for him.
After realizing the importance of Su Mu's situation, the liaison officer quickly checked the latest flight information and arranged for a car to be delivered to Su Mu.
Several hours later, Zhou Jianhua, who had already left work, met Su Mu in his office.
He was also carrying a late-night snack.
"Shall we grab something to eat?"
Zhou Jianhua looked at Su Mu, took out a late-night snack, and handed it to Su Mu.
Seeing that the other party had already bought everything, Su Mu ate a little as well. "Something's happened. It seems like the Japan is up to something."
"What is it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianhua immediately perked up.
" The Spirit of the Dragon Vein just found me and said that something in the seawater is eroding our area. It's been suppressed for now, but it will cause bigger problems if this goes on. After all, the Spirit of the Dragon Vein is a bit weak, and our coastline is so long."
Su Mu briefly explained the situation.
Just after finishing his meal, the Spirit of the Dragon Vein hurriedly found him and gestured for a long time before Su Mu finally understood what it meant.
What is eroding the seawater?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianhua's expression immediately changed.
"Damn it, did they release nuclear wastewater in there?!"
Lately, he's been hearing news like this constantly, saying that the other party will soon have nowhere to store these things, or that they're no longer able to.
Excuses like "the nuclear wastewater has already been purified" were giving him a real headache.
Upon hearing this, he immediately realized that this was the case.
Nuclear wastewater?
Upon hearing this, Su Mu's expression immediately changed.
If this stuff is dumped into the sea, everyone will suffer!
Moreover, once they discharge the seawater, they probably won't need the storage tank anymore; they can just keep discharging it after they've used it all.
This Japan is truly a scoundrel; the America prints tons of money, and everyone else foots the bill.
This guy is releasing nuclear wastewater and making everyone else pay the price!
