DipNovel Chapter 90: New Year Greetings
Chapter 90: New Year Greetings
In the blink of an eye, time flies, and finally, the long-awaited and highly anticipated Lunar New Year's Eve has arrived.
Compared to last year, there are many more happy people this year.
Because the rectification of the unfinished project is in full swing, and a small portion of it has already been delivered.
However, whether they have already moved in, are waiting to move in, or are not moving in at all, they all have the same concern: Is it certain that there are no problems with this unfinished project?
Although some people have explained what prefabricated buildings are, although the walls are made of special materials used in mecha armor (actually, they are walls made of compressed waste wrapped in a thin layer of E carbon steel), and although many people have reviewed that the new houses are better than similar houses in the past, except that the soft furnishings are a bit more difficult to put in.
However, these new houses were built too fast: seven floors a day;
It's too easy: just insert the main structure into the ground, and then clip and lock the house onto the main structure;
A seven-story residential building with an elevator, spacious balconies for every household, and facing north was thus completed.
Most people would be uneasy about a house assembled so hastily.
Besides, everyone has the same question: Isn't it said that there are no free lunches? Why does this new type of house seem like a free lunch?
Although some residential properties not only have no shared area but also offer bonus area, I doubt any residential property would offer a 50-square-meter L-shaped balcony as a bonus.
Although the balcony has a slightly odd design, it's a full 50 square meters!
Many families live in spaces smaller than 50 square meters, yet these abandoned construction projects are giving away 50 square meters of new housing!
Isn't this a windfall?
There's a problem, definitely a problem, but well, it's not really a problem.
In contrast, another problematic issue has garnered more attention and sparked greater curiosity: the Spring Festival Gala!
Normally, all programs for the Spring Festival Gala are confirmed before the program list is released. Once the program list is released, unless there are force majeure events, all programs must be performed strictly in the order, duration, and cast list on the program list.
So here's the question: why did the program list for this year's Spring Festival Gala change after it was announced?
It's one thing to change things, but why is the change the grand finale?
Normally, the grand finale is always a song and dance performance, and the main event is always an unforgettable evening.
However, this year's grand finale turned out to be "New Year's Greetings"!?
That's one thing, but why are other programs only a few minutes long, while that one is half an hour long?!
The runtime is one thing, but why is the cast list being kept secret?!
Yes, in the latest official Spring Festival Gala program list, the word "Confidential" is clearly written in the column for the performers of "New Year's Greetings," and it's even in big and bold letters, as if afraid that someone might miss it.
In addition, it seems that the authorities are afraid that many people will either pick out individual programs from the Spring Festival Gala to watch, or simply ignore the Gala altogether and not even know which programs they are watching.
Therefore, in order to let more people know about this news and watch the program on time, a truly massive publicity campaign was launched, which directly ignited the curiosity of the entire nation.
Mobile text messages, scrolling bars on all TV stations, startup screens and main interface images on all online media, pinned messages on online communities, radio stations, etc.—whether official or private, online or offline—are all promoting that program.
It's safe to say that anyone who lives on Earth and is a modern person will know about that program.
And so, an outrageous yet somewhat plausible rumor has been circulating widely: we have made contact with aliens, and aliens will send us congratulations this year!
Therefore, this year's Spring Festival Gala has become a program that everyone eagerly anticipates and pays close attention to.
"Ugh, dumplings again."
"It's boring. I thought with such high popularity, the Spring Festival Gala programs wouldn't be as dull and uninteresting as before, but I'm very disappointed."
"Why not cancel this garbage show? Why do they have to cancel my brother's show? We're protesting! This is rigged!"
"..."
The more people there are, the more fault-finding there will be. As a result, the Spring Festival Gala was unsurprisingly criticized and became a trending topic.
Then, as the cursing continued, the cursing stopped because the show started.
"Next, please enjoy the program 'New Year Greetings'."
After the host finished announcing the program, the room went completely dark.
The next second, a faint red dot seemed to appear in the center of the stage.
"Tick-tock tick-tock~"
As the bugle sounded, the red dot gradually grew larger, and at the same time, a small figure made of golden light, whose face was indistinct, suddenly appeared on the stage.
As the bugle call continued, more and more, countless golden figures began to appear, gradually enlarging, as if they were charging towards the audience.
However, it didn't last long. The bugle call began to fade away, seemingly getting farther and farther away, making it increasingly difficult for the audience to hear.
At the same time, one golden shadow after another suddenly vanished, turning into a sky full of golden light.
However, the golden light did not disappear into thin air. Instead, it continued to turn red and converge, gradually expanding into an ever-expanding red five-pointed star.
"Whoosh~"
Once the red five-pointed star reached a certain size, it suddenly expanded rapidly, seemingly engulfing the sky and disappearing from the audience's sight.
"Chirp chirp~"
The next second, accompanied by birdsong, the stage presents a forest after a bombardment from a bird's-eye view.
"Whoosh~"
Suddenly, the bird took off, soaring into the sky and then flying at high speed.
As the birds flew away, the forest ravaged by artillery fire gradually disappeared, replaced by a harmonious and beautiful jungle landscape filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
After soaring over mountains, rivers, forests, wilderness, deserts, and oceans, the bird flew into a bustling modern city.
From a bird's-eye view, the city is bustling with traffic and people, showing no signs of having been attacked by artillery.
Perhaps for this reason, the bird flew back into nature, flew to a snow-capped mountain, and saw a solitary watchtower standing on the snow-capped peak.
Amidst the wind and snow, several border guards stationed there pushed open the door of the watchtower, led their disciplined dogs out of the watchtower, and then looked in the direction of the birds.
*Smack!*
The border guards jumped to their feet and shouted, "All officers and soldiers of the XX outpost extend their greetings and wish you a Happy New Year!"
"Whoosh~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene changed to a watchtower on a deserted island.
The same border guards, the same words, rang out once again.
Then, it was in dense forests, in submarines, on ships, in war zones, and in space stations.
The same words, repeated in different scenes, finally arrive inside the launch matrix: "All officers and soldiers of the Alashan launch matrix extend their greetings and wish you a Happy Chinese New Year!"
"Phew~"
The next second, the scene shifts to the pitch-black universe, looking towards a blue planet.
