76: If you are not beautiful, you want to go to the moon? (Second update)

“Congratulations, Host, you have received a blind box reward: one Primary Moon Landing Spaceship (Finished Product Version).”

“May I ask if the Host would like to extract it?”

“Moon Landing Spaceship? What is that?”

“Answering Host, the Moon Landing Spaceship can perform close-range planetary landings. You can understand it as being able to shuttle between nearby planets after riding this spaceship!”

“Huh? What? Can it shuttle between planets? Isn't that a guy?” Lin Yang was stunned for a moment.

“Answering Host, the Moon Landing Spaceship can only be used for shuttling between close-range planets and does not possess the various functions of a guy.”

“Can you just speak in plain language? What's the difference exactly?”

“Alright, Host. Simply put, a qualified guy has a complete ecosystem inside, allowing people to live in it for many years, and is equipped with attack Systems, defense Systems, etc., enabling long-distance interstellar travel.”

“As for the Moon Landing Spaceship, you can understand it as a single-person, non-functional interstellar travel device that can only perform close-range planetary shuttling.”

Lin Yang rolled his eyes directly: “Couldn't you just say that this Moon Landing Spaceship is a single-person version of a guy with various functions removed?”

“Apologies, Host, for bringing you a poor user experience again. The System will record your suggestion for optimization!”

“…” Lin Yang was momentarily stunned.

Because if he remembered correctly, the last time he said the System was too complicated, the System's reply was “Alright, Host, you can understand it that way.”

But this time, it actually changed to recording suggestions for optimization?

Is this System becoming more human-like, or is it also constantly evolving?

Lin Yang felt strange, but he didn't ask further. The System certainly wouldn't answer such questions.

So he simply didn't waste his breath and instead asked: “What is the approximate distance this Moon Landing Spaceship can travel between planets?”

“Answering Host, it can fly from your current planet to the planet you call the Moon!”

“Moon?” Lin Yang's spirits lifted!

The Moon, for any Shangxia person, must be a place full of infinite meaning.

From ancient times to the present, no one has stopped longing for and exploring the Moon.

And now, he can Moon?

Land on the mysterious Moon?

“Well then, if I use this Moon Landing Spaceship to Moon, can I come back?”

Immediately after, Lin Yang asked an important question.

Going is not an issue, but if there's not enough energy to return, then it's over.

“Rest assured, Host, the energy in the current Moon Landing Spaceship can support you for six round trips between the two planets!”

“What about after six times?”

“After six times, the energy will be exhausted. The Host can recharge it. Since you have provided Controllable Nuclear Fusion Technology to your affiliated nation, Nuclear fusion technology can solve the energy problem of the Moon Landing Spaceship.”

“So, it seems we still need to accelerate the application of Nuclear fusion technology domestically.” Lin Yang mumbled.

“Answering Host, the System suggests that the Host temporarily not use the Moon Landing Spaceship for Moon.”

The System's sudden reminder made Lin Yang slightly pause: “Why?”

“When the Host leaves their affiliated planet for the first time and sets foot on another planet, they will receive some special rewards. However, the prerequisite for those rewards is that the Host performs some related construction on the planet they first set foot on, and you currently do not have the relevant resources.”

“Therefore, the System suggests that the Host quickly improve the technological level of their affiliated nation, and start stockpiling relevant materials, while also acquiring more national treasure value to exchange for relevant items, to prepare for the first landing on another planet!”

“Oh… are there any other tips or suggestions?”

…

At the same time, while Lin Yang was still communicating with the System.

The United States suddenly issued a new announcement.

“Our nation's aerospace technology has achieved significant breakthroughs. We anticipate at least three manned Moon activities within three to six months, and look forward to jointly ushering in the Moon era with all nations!”

As soon as this announcement was released, it instantly topped the headlines of news media worldwide.

Domestically, Netizens immediately began discussing it.

“What does the United States mean by this? Why suddenly announce such an exaggerated piece of news?”

“Oh, in my estimation, it's probably because they've just been defeated by us even in their most proud fighter jet aspect, and they don't see hope of surpassing our fighter jets in the short term.”

“So, in order to restore public confidence and maintain their image as the First Great Power of the current era, they had no choice but to choose to announce this news, hoping to prove from another track that they are still a powerful superpower!”

“That makes a lot of sense. Their aerospace technology is already very advanced, and they've been secretly researching all these years without disclosing much information to the outside world. I estimate that if our fighter jets hadn't suddenly appeared, they would have kept it hidden, at least, they would never have exposed it directly like this.”

“Holy cow, what do we do now? If they go and plant their flag on the Moon and declare the Moon theirs, wouldn't that be the end?”

“Heh, don't you say, with the United States's style, they really might do something so shameless.”

“What's there to estimate? They absolutely can do such a thing. Have you forgotten when they first landed on the Moon years ago? Didn't they have this idea back then?”

“It's just that at that time, the technology might not have been very mature, making long-term stays impossible, so they hastily took a photo and left. But now, if the technology is mature, and they plant flags everywhere, they might really consider it private property!”

“Damn it, these Unpretty guys are really causing trouble endlessly.”

“What do we do now? Although we can also Moon, they are all machines, and we haven't successfully achieved manned Moon yet. Are those guy from the United States too far ahead?”

“I feel it's time to appeal to Fellow Student Big Shot again…”

“…I say, isn't everyone's expectation of Fellow Student Big Shot a bit too high? This is aerospace, this is Moon… we are decades behind in technological gap. Even if we start researching now, it's impossible to catch up within three months, right?”

“I think so too. Fellow Student Big Shot has already done enough, from missiles to Systems, and now fighter jets. It's quite comprehensive. Even a genius has limited energy after all.”

“Let's not put too much pressure on Fellow Student Big Shot. What if Fellow Student Big Shot doesn't have much research in this area and can't produce it, then some people with ulterior motives will start stirring up trouble again!”

“Anyway, I don't care, the Moon has been ours since ancient times! As for Moon, we've had people go there since the mythical age. Unpretty, don't even think about claiming it for yourselves for any reason!”

“…”

The sudden announcement by the United States can be said to have caused a bit of an explosion among countries worldwide.

Everyone is still playing within their own planets, and the United States suddenly wants to usher in the Moon era?
