120: The Moon's terrifying mineral resources!

Ground Command Center.

Lin Chen had just been put down.

After hearing that inspiring remark from Old Zhang, he was once again lifted up and tossed into the air by several people in celebration.

The surrounding Engineers had tears of joy in their eyes.

"Haha! The Moon belongs to our Great Xia Country now!"

"From now on, the Moon's resources belong to our Great Xia Country."

"Let's see who can compete with us for the Moon's resources now!"

The Engineers had already claimed the Moon for Great Xia Country.

Never mind any international treaties.

Whoever has the capability, goes up.

If you can't go up, then don't talk about any international treaties.

Those are only meant to constrain the weak.

Li Jianguo looked at the excited crowd, and a surge of heroic spirit rose in his heart.

Command Center was in a state of ferment.

The audience in the livestream was no exception.

They were even more excited and thrilled!

The barrage of comments instantly covered the entire screen, making it impossible to even see the video feed.

"Holy crap! I'm so excited, I wish I could fly to the Moon right now to take a look!"

"Wuwu! I hope one day I can travel to the Moon."

"I'm going to start saving money right now! I believe a trip to the Moon will be possible soon."

"I hope that day comes soon! I can't wait."

All the netizens were eagerly looking forward to the day when lunar travel would begin.

Meanwhile, all parts of Great Xia Country were cheering and celebrating.

In front of the big screen in the capital's square, the crowd erupted into thunderous cheers.

Grandpas and grandmas waved small national flags and joined in the shouting:

"Long live Great Xia Country!"

"Long live the people!"

Students cheered on campus.

"We've landed on the Moon! We are number one!"

At the Bund in Shanghai!

The lights suddenly all turned on.

The words "Great Xia Aerospace, Chasing Dreams Among the Stars" were displayed.

Passersby stopped to take pictures.

In rural areas, some people even set off firecrackers, as lively as during the Chinese New Year.

In an elementary school in a remote mountainous area, the children gathered around the teacher's mobile phone to watch the livestream, their eyes shining.

"Teacher, can we go to the Moon in the future too?"

The teacher smiled and nodded: "Yes, as long as you study hard, you definitely can!"

Border defense soldiers in the southwest region watched the livestream, their eyes glistening with tears of excitement.

"Haha, our Great Xia Country has become powerful again!"

"That's right! Since the last incident, Little Asan has retreated 100 kilometers."

"It's so boring without Little Asan!"

"Hehe, you're just thinking about getting a first-class merit award, aren't you?"

"Haha! Hahaha..."

Meanwhile, the international scene was a completely different story.

In the forums of the Eagle Sauce Alliance countries.

The netizens of the alliance were filled with sour jealousy.

The comment section was as sour as if a jar of decades-old pickled cabbage had been overturned.

"Damn it! Why was Great Xia Country able to become the first country to land a human on the Moon?"

"fuck! Did we, Eagle Sauce, actually succeed in landing on the Moon back then? Why isn't our flag on the Moon!"

"I think it's a video synthesized by Great Xia Country using technology; they definitely didn't succeed in landing on the Moon either."

Many Eagle Sauce netizens were unwilling to accept this cruel fact.

Why could Great Xia Country succeed in a manned lunar landing?

While they, Eagle Sauce, are the world's number one country in technology and military.

Was their manned lunar landing back then actually faked?

It's simply humiliating.

Many Eagle Sauce citizens went out to the streets holding banners.

They wanted the Eagle Sauce government to give an explanation!

Eagle Sauce NASA.

Durutt went silent.

Their lies had been completely exposed.

It was estimated that their Eagle Sauce would soon become the laughingstock of the whole world again.

"Sigh! A lie is still a lie after all..."

He sighed helplessly.

This was the sin committed by the previous generation.

Yet their generation had to bear the consequences.

Making them the laughingstock of the whole world.

The people who formulated the 'Moon Landing Project' back then were all dead.

At this moment, a white-haired scientist named Elson said seriously in a deep voice:

"Director! Great Xia Country's aerospace technology is far more powerful than we imagined."

"Their spaceplane can land directly on the Moon, and even their lunar rover adapts to the lunar environment so easily."

"It proves they already have the ability to mine lunar resources!"

"As a result, the Moon will become Great Xia Country's backyard."

"With the resources on the Moon, Great Xia Country's technological development will be unimaginable..."

By the end, Elson didn't dare to continue speaking.

The current Great Xia Country had already left their Eagle Sauce far behind.

If it had the support of the Moon's massive resources.

To what extent would Great Xia Country develop!

It was unimaginable!

The surrounding Engineers lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.

Durutt had complicated feelings; he remained silent for a moment, then spoke:

"We cannot give up!"

"We still have the starship."

"As long as our starship can carry humans to the Moon, we can plant a flag anywhere and occupy some resources!"

Hearing this, Elson and the others didn't say anything.

Right now, their starship couldn't even manage manned spaceflight.

Let alone a manned lunar landing.

Would Great Xia Country stop and wait?

Obviously impossible!

However, Durutt was also right.

No matter how difficult it was.

They couldn't give up.

Inside the White House.

Opden looked at the livestream, his face gloomily terrible.

"fuck!"

"Damn Great Xia Country, they didn't leave us any face at all."

He wasn't angry that Great Xia Country succeeded in landing on the Moon.

Anyway, Great Xia Country's success in landing on the Moon didn't cause any loss to their Eagle Sauce.

But Great Xia Country specifically went to expose their shortcomings.

That was what made him unhappy!

Couldn't they just land on the Moon properly?

Why did they have to go and expose people's shortcomings? Isn't that just asking to be hated?

"Mr. President, Great Xia Country has succeeded in landing on the Moon."

"Will they occupy the entire Moon in the future?"

The secretary on the side cautiously reminded him.

Hearing this, Opden frowned deeply and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed possible!"

"It seems we need to land humans on the Moon as soon as possible."

"At the same time, we must unite with other countries to re-establish new space regulations!"

He knew that Great Xia Country's space technology was already unstoppable.

But they couldn't let Great Xia Country monopolize the entire Moon's resources.

They must make Great Xia Country share them!

Otherwise, it would be destroying the peace of Blue Star!

Thinking of this, he called Secretary of State Remundo over.

He ordered him to contact other countries.

He believed that for this kind of thing, there would definitely be many countries willing to step up!

On the Moon.

Old Zhang, Little Wang, and the others had already started surveying the Moon.

The lunar rover's Detector kept flashing, recording the surrounding terrain and mineral data.

"Wow! So much iron ore, and they are all open-pit rich ores!"

"Discovered titanium ore! The content is very high!"

"And Helium-3! The reserves are astonishing!"

"..."

As the survey continued.

Little Wang's excited voice could be heard from time to time.

This showed just how rich the resources on the entire Moon were.

Everyone who has the Moon at home knows.

The reserves of Helium-3 on the Moon exceed 1 million tons!

What concept is this?

The total proven reserves of Helium-3 on Blue Star are only 15 tons.

100 tons of Helium-3 can satisfy Great Xia Country's energy needs for one year.

And there are 1 million tons on the Moon.

Enough for Great Xia Country to use for 10,000 years!

Besides Helium-3, there is terrifying titanium ore, with reserves directly exceeding 100 trillion tons.

And iron ore is even more terrifying; the sand within the top 5 centimeters of the entire lunar surface contains a large amount of iron.

And in the lunar mare basalt areas, the iron ore is directly exposed!

The total reserves are 1.5 quadrillion tons!

There are also various other minerals like aluminum and copper.

Rare earth ores are even more countless.

Almost all the minerals currently discovered on Blue Star.

The Moon has them too.

And there are many minerals that Blue Star doesn't have!

If all of these were developed.

Great Xia Country would directly become the richest country in the world!

Moreover, there is still the more mysterious Far Side of the Moon waiting for Great Xia Country to uncover its secrets!
