154: Starship rocket flies toward 'death'!

Inside the starship Rocket crew cabin.

The three astronauts' faces were filled with tension and worry.

"Hanson, do you think we can successfully fly out of Blue Star this time?"

Among the three, Bumt, the youngest astronaut, was full of worry.

He was also forced to participate in this Manned Lunar Landing.

Because he owed loans and couldn't pay them back.

He was eventually drafted by the Space Agency.

As long as he participated in this Manned Lunar Landing,

he could be exempted from the $300,000 student loan debt he owed.

They even bought him a high-value personal accident insurance policy, with his parents as beneficiaries.

It was because of this that Bumt agreed.

Hanson was the big brother among the three and had participated in 1 space station mission.

He was selected to participate in this Manned Lunar Landing because he had offended people at the Space Agency.

At this moment, Hanson was expressionless, as if he had already put life and death aside.

"Bumt, don't overthink it!"

"Just let nature take its course. The result is actually predetermined."

When Bumt heard this, he seemed to understand something, yet also nothing at all.

And the female astronaut sitting in the very middle, Lilith!

She was the only female astronaut on this mission.

She, instead, was full of excitement.

Watching the starship Rocket continuously accelerate, she screamed aloud: "Ah! This is too thrilling, this is exactly the feeling!"

It was as if she didn't care whether the starship Rocket would fail.

All she wanted was this thrilling sensation.

Hanson and Bumt shook their heads helplessly.

Having spent time together during training, they understood Lilith's personality.

They were not surprised by this.

Outside the window.

The originally azure sky gradually darkened.

Orange-red patches of the ionosphere slammed against the porthole like fiery rain.

The starship shook violently, and the warning lights on the dashboard flashed incessantly.

The starship Rocket had reached the Atmosphere.

Whether they could survive,

also depended on whether they could break through the Atmosphere this time.

Inside the crew cabin, the three people closed their eyes.

As if waiting for the moment of death to arrive.

They didn't know how much time had passed.

It felt like centuries.

When they opened their eyes,

They saw that they were already in Space.

Blue Star in the distance looked like a sapphire embedded on black velvet, emitting a soft light.

The three froze simultaneously.

A few seconds later, Bumt's voice, tinged with a sob, rang out: "We... we broke through the Atmosphere?"

Hanson's face was also full of surprise, his voice filled with the relief of having survived a disaster: "Yes, we made it out."

Lilith looked at Blue Star outside the window, her eyes full of excitement: "Haha, is this Space? It's magnificent!"

The three were now completely awake and excited.

Being able to successfully break through Blue Star's Atmosphere,

proved that they had hope of reaching the Moon.

At least they were still alive!

As for whether they could successfully land on the Moon, everything depended on fate... On the ground.

Launch Center Observation Deck.

When Opden saw the starship Rocket break through the Atmosphere, he was so excited that he grabbed Remundo next to him.

"Haha, we succeeded!"

"This time, let's see who dares to mock us!"

Opden's voice was full of wild excitement.

Remundo didn't mind being hugged and chimed in: "The President is wise! It is your decisiveness that allowed us to take this crucial step!"

Durutt, not far away, was not so relaxed.

He stared at the fluctuating fuel consumption data on the screen, his brow tightly furrowed.

The Chief Engineer leaned over, his voice very low: "Director, fuel consumption is 8% more than expected. If this continues, we might not be able to return smoothly even if we reach the Moon."

Durutt's heart sank. Looking at the celebrating Opden, he gritted his teeth and said: "Keep it quiet! Calculate the Backup Plan first. If absolutely necessary, we'll reduce the Lunar Orbit Radius."

The Engineer nodded, turned around, and left quickly.

Durutt looked at the starship on the screen and silently prayed: Nothing must go wrong, otherwise the entire NASA will be finished... In the Global Live Broadcast Room.

The bullet comments from Eagle Country Netizens instantly flooded the screen, densely covering the entire display.

"Ahhh! We broke through the Atmosphere! We are going to the Moon!"

"I knew Eagle Sauce wouldn't lose! If Great Xia Country can do it, we definitely can too!"

"Who just said we were going to set off fireworks? Come out and apologize!"

"We Eagle Sauce must get half of the Moon's resources!"

"..."

The entire Eagle Sauce nation was celebrating wildly.

The confidence they had previously lost was retrieved at this moment.

Netizens from the Eagle Sauce Alliance Countries also joined the celebration.

South Korea Netizens: "Eagle Sauce Daddy is too powerful! Once you succeed, we want to go to the Moon too!"

Australia Netizens: "Fortunately, we chose the right side. Great Xia Country is no match at all!"

Europe Netizens: "We will definitely catch up to Great Xia Country this time!"

They clearly knew that Eagle Sauce's method was behind Great Xia Country's.

But they still chose to follow Eagle Sauce in catching up.

In response, Great Xia Country Netizens were completely calm.

Instead, they switched to teasing mode.

"What's the rush? They only just broke through the Atmosphere; they haven't reached the Moon yet."

"Hehe! I bet fifty cents that something will go wrong later. After all, Lunar Landing isn't that easy!"

"Hehe! Are these people really so confident now? Getting excited just for exiting the Atmosphere?"

"..."

Regarding the excitement of those Eagle Sauce Alliance Netizens,

to Great Xia Country Netizens, it felt like people who had never seen the world before,

getting overly excited just seeing a small scene.

Nowadays, the lives of the Great Xia Country people are vastly different from the past, and their national confidence is soaring.

They no longer fear Eagle Sauce as they did before.

They view them more with a peaceful and slightly teasing mentality.

This is the confidence of the strong brought to the Great Xia Country people by technological development!

...At the same time.

Xia Academy of Sciences, Lin Chen's office.

"Little Lin, Eagle Sauce's starship Rocket has broken through to Space. Can they really succeed in the Lunar Landing?"

Li Jianguo couldn't help but ask after seeing the Eagle Sauce rocket fly out of Blue Star.

If Eagle Sauce really succeeds in the Manned Lunar Landing,

they would use this as an excuse to occupy the Moon's resources.

Li Jianguo did not want to see this happen.

Lin Chen smiled, "They want to land on the Moon? Impossible!"

"Isn't there a shipment of supplies heading to the Moon today?"

"When the time comes, if Eagle Sauce doesn't run into trouble themselves, then we'll give them a hand!"

Li Jianguo's eyes instantly lit up. "Little Lin, are you planning to intercept them directly en route?"

Lin Chen nodded, "That's right! Anyone who tries to lay hands on the Moon will face this result!"

The kunpeng space plane has already been installed with the Super Energy Laser Cannon.

This is to prevent certain accidents and allow for self-defense.

After all, there are often alien meteorites in Outer Space.

Sometimes, when encountered, the Super Energy Laser Cannon can be used to destroy those Extraterrestrial Meteorites.

Li Jianguo expressed support, "Good, I will go issue the instructions to the Pilot right now!"

After speaking, he immediately contacted the Command Center to issue the interception order.
