Chapter 1422: Nations Race to the Moon, Each Showing Their Skills
The launch preparations of the Hua Xia Celestial Star Bureau forced all nations to stand at the starting line!
No one wanted to fall behind!
And while the Celestial Star Bureau was rushing their preparations!
Far across the ocean, the U.S. Space Navigation Bureau headquarters was also exceptionally busy!
At this moment, in the main control hall, a gold-rimmed glasses-wearing man in a suit and leather shoes was staring intently at the big screen!
He was the Space Navigation Bureau Director, Napa!
Projected on the screen was the situation of the One-Eyed species on the far side of the moon!
All other nations were making final launch preparations, except for the U.S.!
Because they were playing the game of directly building a large spacecraft in low Earth orbit!
Using the ability of Star-Plucker Martin, they eliminated the need for rocket thrust to escape Blue Star's gravity!
The screen switched!
There, in low Earth orbit, a massive spacecraft was orbiting Blue Star!
Just the number of space capsules alone numbered in the hundreds, connected by airtight cabin doors!
The entire spacecraft was cylindrical, currently rotating around the main living module, using centrifugal force to simulate Blue Star's gravity!
Looking at the Zeus spacecraft, everyone in the main control hall had relieved smiles on their faces!
(relieved smile)"Finally built! We can go to the moon anytime! Which other country has one bigger than ours? Can carry more than us?"
But Napa had a look of disgust!
(displeased face)"Motherfucker! If it wasn't for that bastard Jiangnan blowing up that cannon back in the Fish Kingdom, the Zeus would have been completed a month ago and already set off for the moon!"
"We'd probably have made several round trips by now! That bastard!"
Mentioning this, the workers in the hall all had dark faces, frantically refreshing their resentment values!
[From Napa: Resentment +1000!]
[From...]
"Director, why get angry at a dead man? No matter how annoying Jiangnan was, the Celestial Group still killed him, right?"
Hearing this, Napa's face relaxed again with satisfaction!
Just then, an officer rushed in hurriedly!
"Director Napa, all nations have completed launch preparations!"
"Orders from above: the Space Navigation Bureau is to secure an advantage at all costs and establish initiative on the moon!"
"Other nations are about to launch. Should we take precautions?"
Napa sneered: (sneering face)"Hmph! In this field, the only ones we need to worry about a little are Hua Xia and the E Nation!"
"Especially the E Nation. The rest are nothing to fear. Do you think the Thousand Illusions Agent Group is just eating for free? We've already made arrangements!"
"Kekeke～just wait to see fireworks. All their efforts will come to nothing!"
"We were the first to leave footprints on the moon, and it'll be the same this time. Let them eat our dust!"
"Instead of worrying about that, worry about the Holy Star's movements. How are the Moon Conquest Force preparations going?"
As soon as he finished speaking!
A large group of people wearing specially designed combat spacesuits walked into the hall!
The suits were made of the memory spirit material Flowing Moon Silver, not easily damaged, with external armor to meet combat needs!
They carried life support backpacks and had jet propulsion devices!
They were very form-fitting and didn't look bulky. The helmets were fully transparent circular spirit material covers to ensure ample visibility and also displayed various data!
Just one such combat spacesuit alone was an astronomical sum!
And this Moon Conquest Force had over three thousand members!
The lowest rank was Diamond!
Leading them were Star-Plucker Martin and the spatial system Piers!
Napa's face was radiant!
(radiant smile)"Lord Piers? Is the cargo loading complete?"
Piers laughed heartily!
(laughing heartily)"Ever since I reached Dao Heaven, my Alternate Dimension hasn't been full. This is the first time, and it's stuffed with miniaturized items!"
"I didn't expect to have a chance to go to the moon in my lifetime?"
Martin grinned: (grinning)"Building that Zeus spacecraft nearly exhausted me to death, and I was blown up once by Jiangnan's cannon!"
"Good thing that kid is dead. What a relief!"
Piers also looked satisfied: "With all these preparations, once we get up there, the moon belongs to us!"
Just then, a woman with a slightly slim figure walked out!
She had short tea-colored hair reaching behind her ears, delicate features like a porcelain doll!
Two small metal bear earrings hung from her earlobes!
Her large blue eyes were half-open, looking quite listless!
Her rank was actually Starlight Four!
"Old Piers, don't forget the miniaturization time limit is only three days. If you don't take the items out within three days, they'll return to normal size!"
"Your Alternate Dimension will burst!"
Piers' face darkened. Who the hell is 'Old Piers'?
(deadpan face)"Alright, alright! Got it! I'm well aware of your Doll Winnie's ability!"
Martin sighed with emotion: "Thanks to Winnie, this ability is so convenient. No one can carry more than us!"
Napa said respectfully: "Lady Winnie? How are the Doll Legion preparations?"
Winnie rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers casually!
(rolling eyes)"Overtime means more pay. I hate working!"
A worker pushed a huge transparent airtight cabin over, with a continuously operating life support system!
Inside, it was divided into small compartments, filled with soldiers only the size of a thumb!
There were tens of thousands of them, currently bouncing around alive inside the cabin!
Winnie said impatiently: "Once the moon base is built, just release them and let them return to normal size!"
"Finish within three days, or they'll revert to original size on the way, the spacecraft will burst, and everyone will die!"
Napa was excited! Who else?
I'm sending this many up in one wave, even capable of going head-to-head with the One-Eyed Army!
No one can beat this!
"Then please, Lord Martin, lead everyone into the Zeus. Depart immediately. Time is tight. Keep in touch at all times!"
Martin grinned: "This assignment is pretty damn far, huh? Haha! Let's go, let's go!"
With that, he controlled gravity, lifting the Moon Conquest Force and the Doll Legion straight up into the sky, flying toward the Zeus!
Meanwhile, at the Hongguo Space Headquarters!
The giant rocket on the launch pad had already been erected, ready for launch!
At this moment, Qian Benying was strapped into the launch seat wearing a spacesuit, frantically mumbling to herself!
(angry face)"So annoying, so annoying! Why does it have to be me? There's nothing on the moon, and it's freezing cold! Why send me up?"
Hongguo not only had to launch Qian Benying up, but her Alternate Dimension was also packed with supplies!
The core key to this plan was the spatial system user Qian Benying!
Opposite her, Liu Hua had already started crying!
(crying face)"They only said they wanted you, not me! Why did you have to drag me along? And I took up a spot!"
"It's so far from home. I'm scared!"
Qian Benying said impatiently:
(impatient face)"Wherever big sis goes, you follow, understand?"
Liu Hua looked terrified!
(scared face)"I'm scared. I want to go to the bathroom!"
Qian Benying pouted: (pouting face)"Lazy flower, lots of pee and poop on the grind. Just pee in your pants! The spacesuit has a water circulation system..."
Liu Hua: (crying face)……
At the E Nation Deep Space Bureau headquarters!
The heavy rocket had been erected, with Hart and Mo Mo sitting in the launch capsule!
A bunch of combat personnel and workers were also accompanying them!
At this moment, the two were sitting in the rocket holding hands, encouraging each other!
Even if it's to the moon, Uncle will always be with you!
The E Nation hadn't prepared much for this launch!
All they needed to do was launch Mo Mo to the moon, let her summon a Star Whale there!
Then naturally, they could use the Star Whale to send large amounts of personnel and supplies directly to the moon!
Once the Star Ring was successfully built, connecting both sides, base construction, manpower, etc., would naturally not be a problem!
In this regard, the E Nation had an unparalleled advantage!
At this moment, Bai Kou stood under the rocket launch pad, hands clasped, silently praying!
(praying face)"Little Di, Yu Shen, watch over us～"
Not only the E Nation, but Feng Guo, Fan Guo, and Ying Guo had also completed launch preparations!
At around 4 AM, the Moon Grasping Operation Team led by Jiang Tianchen was ready at the base of the rocket!
Jiang Tianchen was wearing a specially made combat spacesuit!
It was bright red all over, woven from the silk of the spirit beast Fire Silkworm, very form-fitting!
Although its strength couldn't compare with Mi Ye's spider silk, it wasn't far off!
Inside the fire silkworm silk, there was a lining made of spell array spirit power circuits, which could absorb spirit power from the Spirit Bead at the back of the neck!
It emitted heat to resist the extreme cold and heat of space, keeping the inside of the spacesuit at a constant 26 degrees Celsius!
On the back was a life support backpack that integrated all functions!
Stars shimmered on the chest, and a moon-shaped patch was attached to the shoulder!
The helmet was also a transparent round dome, like a fish tank, displaying various information!
The whole outfit was bright red, looking absolutely cool!
And everyone, including Jiang Tianchen, had a Pocket Rabbit tied to their chest!
Even the Pocket Rabbits had specially made spacesuits!
At this moment, the Pocket Rabbits were staying obediently inside the spacesuits, looking completely confused!
(confused face)?
What are we doing?
Jiang Tianqing was filled with envy and jealousy!
Even the Pocket Rabbits were going to the moon, but their Rabbit Boss didn't make it?
Jiang Tianqing was so envious that she chewed her fingernails into a sawtooth shape!
(envious face)"This spacesuit is so cool!"
Yang Jian clicked his tongue: "Not just cool, it's expensive too! Just making one set, excluding raw materials, cost over thirty million!"
Jiang Nan: !!!
Even if it was made of gold, it wouldn't be this expensive, right? Spacesuits are that valuable?
"Please, for the love of god, give me a suit to wear!"
