Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

158: Take a space elevator and go on a ”business trip” to the moon!When Lu Chen’s ultimate declaration, full of god-like dominance and ambition—”The owner of the moon is named Xia”—clearly echoed in the briefing room of the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base, the entire aerospace community of Xia Nation erupted!

”Let’s do it!”

”Damn it! Isn’t it just building houses on the moon?!”

”Academician Lu, just tell us how to do it! We’ll do it!”

”Exactly! We even built a divine item like the tongtian divine ladder! What’s there to be afraid of a moon base?!”

”Brothers! What are you waiting for?! Let’s get to work!”

”For our Xia Nation’s never-falling Guanghan Celestial Palace!”

”Charge!!!”

For a time!

The entire Kunlun Mountain Underground Base once again plunged into a scientific research frenzy, a hundred times more insane than any before!

All the aerospace experts who had been frowning over the damned launch costs were now as pumped up as if they’d been injected with adrenaline!

One by one, they rolled up their sleeves!

Their minds were wide open!

An unprecedented super

Moon

Decisive Battle!

Officially, began its

Prelude!

A month later.

In the East Sea, the silver-white Buzhou Mountain Base, filled with violent aesthetics.

Had completely transformed into the busiest and most

Sci-fi, space

Port!

Countless uniquely shaped, silver-white anti-gravity shuttle elevators, brimming with a sense of future technology!

Just like diligent worker ants!

Along that golden tongtian divine ladder, filled with a sacred aura!

Continuously transported thousands of tons of supplies and equipment to the distant, deep

Space!

And at the “Tiangong” space station, thirty-six thousand kilometers away.

It had been expanded into a massive interstellar

Transfer station, comparable to a small city!

Numerous large transport ships, escorted by “Kunpeng” aerospace fighters, were constantly moving in and out here!

Transporting the massive amounts of supplies brought from Earth!

Again to the even more distant, three hundred eighty thousand kilometers away

Moon!

An unprecedentedly busy and efficient terror

Golden shipping lane

Had formed between the Earth and the Moon, enough to make any nation despair!

And, today, this golden shipping lane will welcome its most distinguished, and most

Important “guest”!

”Academician Lu! Everything is ready!”

On Launch Pad One of the Buzhou Mountain Base.

Academician Qin Shan, the chief commander of the “Guanghan Palace” project, reported with fervent enthusiasm to the calm young man before him:

”The ‘Chang’e’ One anti-gravity lunar lander has been fully inspected!”

”Ready to depart at any time!”

”Very good.”

Lu Chen nodded calmly.

He turned around and looked at Long Weiguo, Ye Qingcang, and the other top leaders of Xia Nation behind him, who were also dressed in silver-white spacesuits filled with a sense of future technology.

He smiled faintly.

”Distinguished leaders.”

”The journey to inspect our ’backyard’”

”It’s almost time to begin.”

”Hahahahaha!”

He pointed at Lu Chen and burst into a hearty laugh, more uninhibited than ever before!

”Good kid!”

”You described going to the moon as going to the backyard to ’inspect work’?!

”Your vision...”

”I like it!”

Ten minutes later.

When the sci-fi-esque “Chang’e” One lunar lander, resembling a silver-white teardrop, silently ascended from the Buzhou Mountain Base.

The entire world fell silent.

All the Western media and politicians who were secretly observing through various channels!

All felt as if an invisible hand had clamped down on their throats!

One by one, their faces turned pale!

Their bodies were cold!

Their minds were blank!

Lunar

Landing?!

The people of Xia Nation, they were actually going to the moon?!

And they were riding in that anti-gravity

Spaceship that didn’t even need ignition?!

This...

How the hell is anyone supposed to live?!

Meanwhile, inside the spaceship.

Everyone gazed with curiosity and shock at the rapidly shrinking azure

Planet outside the window!

And the endless, deep, vast

Starry sky!

”O-Oh my God!”

”This... this is the universe?!”

”It’s too... too magnificent, isn’t it?!”

Even these national pillars, who had long been accustomed to all sorts of major challenges!

Couldn’t help but exclaim like children at this moment!

And Lu Chen, like the most professional tour guide.

Calmly introduced the “scenery” along the way to them.

”Distinguished leaders, please look.”

”On our left, is our Xia Nation’s ‘Jianmu’ which was just completed less than half a year ago.”

”tongtian divine ladder!”

”On our right, is our expanding ‘Tiangong’”

”Interstellar Spaceport!”

”It is expected that in three years, it will become humanity’s first step towards the starry sea.”

”Forward Operating Base!”

Listening to Lu Chen’s introduction, filled with a “Versailles” aura.

All the bigwigs present were listening as if to a heavenly book!

One by one, they were enthralled!

Their hearts surged with emotion!

They knew!

A new, great era of the

Great

Universe

Era!

Had quietly arrived!

And just as they were still immersed in this unprecedented pride and revelry.

”We’ve arrived.”

Lu Chen’s calm voice slowly rang out.

”Huh?”

All the bigwigs were stunned for a moment.

Arrived?!

How much time had passed?!

One hour!

Just one hour!

Back then, the Apollo of the Western Alliance took three days and three nights to fly from Earth to the moon!

And, they...

Actually only took an hour?!

This...

What kind of divine speed is this?!

With immense shock and excitement, they looked out the window!

The next second!

Everyone’s breathing stopped at this moment!

They saw it!

They saw with their own eyes!

On the barren, desolate, gray-white far side of the moon!

A massive, semi-circular transparent

Domed city, brimming with future technology, extremely sci-fi, and incredibly audacious in design!

Was silently embedded on the vast lunar

Surface, like a dazzling blue super diamond!

Inside the dome was a human

Paradise, with lush green grass, birds singing, and flowers fragrant!

Outside the dome were densely packed mining

Bases, like a forest of steel!

And the dark, gaping muzzles of space-based

Weapons, enough to make any military power tremble with fear!

”Th-this, this, this...”

His lips trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence!

His heart, which had long been tempered as firm as a rock by all sorts of major challenges!

At this moment, it actually started to pound wildly, uncontrollably!

He knew!

From this moment on!

That Guanghan Celestial Palace, which only existed in myths and legends!

Was truly created by this eighteen-year-old young

God!

And, at this moment.

In the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base.

Su Qingying gazed adoringly at the god-like young man standing in the light on the screen.

Her cold, beautiful eyes were filled with an unparalleled fanaticism and

Admiration!

She picked up the internal communication phone, her voice filled with uncontrollable trembling and

Deep affection.

”Lu Chen.”

”Hmm?”

”Do you see it?”

”Our Xia Nation’s Chang’e.”

”Really...”

”Came home.”
