150: The world is laughing at them!

Seeing Opden so resolute, Remundo stopped trying to persuade him.

She turned and left to issue the announcement.

As soon as the announcement was released, the Eagle Country populace immediately erupted in excitement.

On the streets of New York.

The announcement regarding the starship's second crewed lunar landing was played repeatedly on the large screens.

[In half a month, our astronauts will step onto the Moon! This time, no one can stop us!]

Passersby stopped one after another, growing excited and thrilled.

“Are we finally going ahead with the crewed lunar landing? I hope it succeeds this time!”

“Since India isn't interfering this time, we will definitely succeed.”

“Exactly! I heard that this time, we've gathered aerospace scientists from all European countries to collaborate on the research and development. It's bound to work!”

“As long as we succeed in the crewed lunar landing, the Great Xia Country won't be able to monopolize the Moon's resources!”

“...”

A large number of Eagle Country Netizens were filled with anticipation.

Especially after they learned that Eagle Country had gathered all the aerospace scientists from the entire world, excluding those from the Great Xia Country and India, to participate in the R&D.

They were even more confident!

They firmly believed that this attempt would succeed.

They already admitted that the Great Xia Country was formidable.

But they refused to concede defeat; they intended to rise up and catch up.

They would catch up to the Great Xia Country's pace eventually!

At the same time.

Netizens from the Eagle Sauce Alliance countries also entered the fray.

“Yōshī! Eagle Country Daddy is finally going ahead with the crewed lunar landing! Amaterasu Ōmikami will surely bless your success.”

“Once Eagle Country succeeds, if the Great Xia Country wants to monopolize the Moon's resources, they'll have to ask if our Eagle Sauce Alliance agrees!”

“Exactly! As long as Eagle Country succeeds in landing on the Moon, it represents the success of our entire Eagle Sauce Alliance.”

“That's right! Our Eagle Sauce Alliance is one unified entity!”

People in those countries knew that a solo crewed lunar landing was impossible for them.

So, they wanted to use this method to bind themselves to Eagle Country.

Thereby achieving the goal of restricting the Great Xia Country... However, the reactions of netizens from other countries on Blue Star were a completely different scene.

“I suggest preparing the ‘technical failure’ speech draft in advance, so you don't panic when the time comes.”

“I bet this time they'll postpone it using the excuse of ‘excessive space radiation.’ Do you believe me?”

“No! Opden will definitely say it was because they used inferior fuel!”

“Haha! Yes, that sounds exactly right!”

Netizens from almost all other Blue Star countries entered mass mockery mode.

None of them were optimistic about Eagle Country succeeding this time.

If it were just a starship test flight, perhaps it would succeed.

But wanting to land on the Moon?

Easier said than done!

Great Xia Country netizens, in particular, switched on their spectator mode.

On Weibo.

The topic #EagleCountryMoonLandingBigGuess# quickly became viral.

“I bet fifty cents that something will definitely go wrong this time!”

“Last time, they made the excuse that India was causing trouble. This time, they've united scientists from so many countries, what excuse will they find?”

“What if they get lost on the Moon and need our navigation?”

“Hahaha! The person upstairs speaks the truth! I suggest they download the Star Navigation APP in advance.”

On a certain video platform, UP Hosts rushed to produce prediction videos.

“Looking at historical data, the failure rate of Eagle Country's lunar landing program is as high as 60%!”

“The starship technology used this time is another one of Musk's new technologies, giving it a zero chance of success!”

In the comment section, netizens' ridicule was endless.

“starship? Compared to our kunpeng space plane, it's garbage!”

“I suggest Eagle Country stop messing around and just buy our space tourism package; it saves time and effort.”

“Exactly! Why spend that wasted money? It'd be better spent buying a star flying car!”

“Once our Guanghan Palace Base is completed, we welcome Eagle Country astronauts to visit!”

...NASA Space Agency.

Durutt frowned as he looked at the announcement suddenly released by the White House.

“What exactly does the President want to do?”

“Half a month for the test flight is just an estimated timeframe.”

“Can't they just let us make adequate preparations?”

He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling utterly helpless.

Originally, they only intended to test the performance of the starship rocket this time.

They hadn't reached the stage of a crewed lunar landing yet.

Now, the White House had directly released the announcement.

Even if they didn't want to, they were being forced into action.

Fortunately, everything else was relatively smooth.

The main issues were finding astronauts on short notice and determining the specific operations after landing on the Moon.

These things could all be copied directly based on the experience of the Great Xia Country's kunpeng space plane.

Next, Durutt instructed all the scientists to make their final push.

As for the astronaut problem, he would leave that headache to Opden!

...Great Xia Country, Xia Academy of Sciences.

Lin Chen expressed satisfaction after reviewing the first batch delivery of the star flying cars.

“Not bad! The effect of the star flying cars is better than expected!”

He could already see from the online comments.

The first batch of owners who received the flying cars were full of yearning for a better life.

They no longer had the exhausted mindset they had before.

Even if their work was tiring.

The thought of returning home after work to see their Child and family filled their hearts with happiness.

Especially under the new policies now in place.

Their living pressure instantly vanished.

Coupled with the free medical care they now received.

They were already extremely satisfied.

While Lin Chen was pondering.

Li Jianguo pushed the door open and entered, his expression somewhat serious.

“Xiao Lin, did you see Eagle Country's announcement?”

“Eagle Country's announcement?”

“What kind of trickery are they pulling now?”

Lin Chen had been focused on the matter of the star flying cars.

Li Jianguo immediately explained: “Eagle Country is preparing for a crewed lunar landing in half a month!”

“Oh?!” Lin Chen scoffed dismissively.

“Old Li! You don't need to worry.”

“Eagle Country will never succeed in landing on the Moon.”

What a joke!

There are star stones on the Moon, after all.

How could he possibly let Eagle Country go up there?

Even if they had the capability, he would find a way to make Eagle Country's lunar landing fail.

No matter what!

The resources of the Moon must belong only to the Great Xia Country.

No one is allowed to covet them!

Seeing Lin Chen's reaction, Li Jianguo's eyes immediately lit up: “Xiao Lin! Are you suggesting...?”

Lin Chen gave a mysterious smile but did not answer.

But Li Jianguo instantly understood.

Wasn't this the exact expression Lin Chen had when he first tested the Super Energy Laser Cannon?

At that time, Eagle Country directly lost several satellites, along with a global hawk drone.

Later, during the maiden flight of the white emperor aerospace fighter, thousands of Eagle Country's Starlink Satellites were destroyed.

And the Yasukuni Ghost Latrine in Sakura Country was annihilated.

Every time Lin Chen was about to cause trouble, he would show this smile.

This time, Eagle Country was probably going to have bad luck again.

Even if they managed to successfully fly toward the Moon.

The final result would be the same—lunar landing failure!

Li Jianguo mentally mourned for the Eagle Country astronauts for 0.1 seconds!

Next, Lin Chen talked with Li Jianguo about the Guanghan Palace Base.

As for Eagle Country's crewed lunar landing!

Lin Chen didn't take it seriously at all.

Right now, he just wanted to build the Guanghan Palace as quickly as possible.

Once the base was built, he could also go up to the Moon and take a look!
