155: Angry Pretty and Kitty
“Holy cow, building a space elevator? This can’t be real, can it?”
“Can this thing really be built right now??”
“What kind of talk is that? Are you saying you don’t trust Fellow Student Big Shot’s technology?”
“Ahem, no, it’s just too shocking.”
“Hehe, I knew it. Fellow Student Big Shot has been quiet since he returned to the country. Turns out he was holding back a big move.”
“Strong, too strong. If the space elevator is built, will we all be able to travel to space?”
“Let’s put tourism aside for now. With such a big project, won’t those guys in the Western Countries cause trouble?”
“That’s right. If the space elevator can be built, its strategic significance will be too great. Those guys in the Western Countries probably won’t give up easily, right?”
“If they mess with it a bit and damage the space elevator, it would be too dangerous.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Since the authorities have announced it, they must have made full preparations and are not afraid of them causing trouble!”
“That’s true…”
“Everyone, let’s look forward to what the space elevator will look like once it’s built.”
“Honestly, Fellow Student Big Shot is awesome. The first thing he did after returning to the country is so amazing. With this, our advantage in the space domain will be enormous!”
“This really fits my stereotype of Fellow Student Big Shot: he doesn’t act unless he has to, but when he does, it’s always earth-shattering!”
“……”
The Netizens in the country were incredibly excited.
When science fiction becomes reality, no one can remain calm.
Especially since, once the space elevator is built, everyone will at least have an opportunity to travel to space for sightseeing.
This was the fundamental reason for the Netizens’ excitement.
However, the people in the Western Countries were not so happy.
During this period, the country has developed too quickly!
It’s as if it has a cheat code.
Now, they are even going to build a space elevator, which makes them furious!
“Damn it, we have to pay ten times the resources to exchange for a spaceship technology upgrade module. Technology and materials like the space elevator would empty our national treasury, and we still couldn’t afford it. How dare shang xia wen (chinese) do this?!”
The Unpretty high-level official was grinding his teeth.
They were not very willing to believe that the space elevator technology also came from that mysterious Classmate.
They were more willing to believe that it was exchanged between the country and the Aliens on the moon.
After all, for something like a space elevator, the technology is not a big problem; the difficulty lies in the materials!
Even if that mysterious Classmate had the technology, there are currently no suitable materials on Blue Star.
Therefore, they were more inclined to believe that the materials needed for the space elevator were exchanged from the moon!
And this was also where their greatest anger lay.
The price for exchanging materials with Tiangong Base was too expensive. They couldn’t understand how the country had so many resources to exchange for the required materials!
“Perhaps, the Commander of that moon base gives us different exchange rates than he does shang xia wen (chinese). We have to pay three times the resources to exchange for materials, but shang xia wen (chinese) might be exchanging one-to-one.”
A faint light flickered in the eyes of the Little Eagle Sauce person.
They had actually suspected this for a long time.
After all, that base, no matter how you look at it, seems a bit too biased towards shang xia wen (chinese) culture.
Giving some preferential treatment is quite normal.
“If he gives them a lower exchange rate than us, then what do we have to compare with shang xia wen (chinese)?” The Unpretty high-level official was furious.
“Therefore, we must quickly break away from our dependence on Tiangong Base and quickly acquire spaceship-related resources to obtain materials from other planets,” said the Little Eagle Sauce person.
“You mean, increase the exchange quota?” The Unpretty person was a bit displeased.
“Yes, at this time, we can no longer be stingy with resources. If we don’t quickly go to other planets to obtain resources, we might not even have a chance later,” the Little Eagle Sauce person said with a heavy tone.
“Then we just let them build the space elevator so smoothly?” A cold glint flashed in the Unpretty person’s eyes.
“Hehe, a space elevator tens of thousands of kilometers high, how can it be built so easily?”
The Little Eagle Sauce person smiled faintly: “It’s quite normal for a little accident to occur during this process, isn’t it?”
“You mean…” The Unpretty person’s eyes lit up.
Then, both sides tacitly revealed a cunning smile.
However, before their smiles could fully spread across their faces.
Another piece of news from the country once again topped the hot search, instantly extinguishing the ideas that had just emerged in the hearts of the Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce people.
“Dear Netizens, we are pleased to inform you that we have obtained the necessary materials for building the Sky Carrier. Construction of the Sky Carrier will begin immediately and is expected to be completed within a few months.”
“At that time, everyone will be able to see our Sky Carrier soaring above Blue Star. Please look forward to that day with us!”
This subsequent announcement immediately caused a frenzy in the country.
“Holy cow, they just announced they’re building a space elevator, and now they’re saying they’re starting to build a Sky Carrier??”
“Hahaha, I knew it! When they announced the space elevator, they must have already made full preparations. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will have to consider whether they can withstand our retaliation after the Sky Carrier is successfully built!”
“This is too exciting! Ever since they announced that Fellow Student Big Shot provided the Sky Carrier construction technology, I’ve been looking forward to it. It’s a shame that the relevant resources were later held up by the Western Countries, but now it’s great, we can finally start building it, haha.”
“Our Carrier will conquer the entire blue sky!”
“Presumably, some people in the Western Countries should be sweating a bit right now, right?”
“……”
The Netizens in the country were in a state of euphoria.
The Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce people, who had not yet ended their video conference, were caught off guard by this news.
After a long silence, the Unpretty high-level official directly smashed the water glass next to him and roared furiously:
“It must be resources exchanged from the moon!”
“That damned Alien Commander, the exchange rate he gives shang xia wen (chinese) is definitely lower than ours!”
The Little Eagle Sauce person remained silent.
They had already suspected that Tiangong Base’s material exchange rate for the country was much lower than for them.
And now, this announcement from the country directly confirmed that point for them.
This was very bad news for them!
Then, the Little Eagle Sauce person said with a gloomy face: “Given the circumstances, our plan must be brought forward. While the Aliens on the moon still don’t have the ability to attack us, we must seize extraterrestrial resources, and then…”
Upon hearing this, a hint of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Unpretty high-level official, and he nodded with a cold face.
……
At the same time, Lin Yang suddenly received a message from Butler One.
“Commander, the Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce countries have increased their resource exchange quota. They want to exchange all the necessary items at once. Please instruct whether to proceed with the exchange.”
“Oh? They want to exchange everything they need at once? They’re not worried about resources anymore?” Lin Yang was a bit surprised.
Last time, after the exchange price was announced, the two countries only took out a portion of their resources to exchange, which clearly showed they were very concerned about those resources.
Now, suddenly increasing the quota and wanting to exchange everything, this is a bit sudden.
