132: Chapter 133 The Secret of the Far Side of the Moon! The Demon Child Has Provoked Something Extraordinary—The Muscular Jade Rabbit Makes its Appearance!
"What do you mean?" the two women asked in unison.
"It's simple."
Jiang Chen crouched down, picked up a twig (brought from Earth), and drew a circle on the lunar soil, then drew a square inside it.
"Round on the outside, square on the inside!"
"For the outer layer, we'll listen to Zero!"
Jiang Chen pointed to the surface of the moon.
"We'll build a [Lunar Iron Great Wall]! We'll camouflage all the solar panels, defense towers, and planet-buster cannons!"
"Camouflage?" Zero asked, confused.
"Yes! Camouflage!"
Jiang Chen grew more excited as he spoke.
"Zero, didn't you want to build a planet-buster cannon? Let's build it in the shape of a massive [Alchemy Furnace]! The muzzle will be the opening of the furnace! It can emit smoke as a special effect in peacetime, and shoot fire directly when we're at war!"
"And that landing pad, let's build it to look like a [Martial Arts Arena]! We'll hide anti-gravity engines under the floor!"
"This way, it looks like an immortal's paradise on the outside, but it's actually a fortress of war!"
Jiang Chen looked at Ji Linglong again.
"For the inner layer, we'll listen to Linglong!"
"Inside the Iron Great Wall, we'll use holographic projections and Spirit Gathering Arrays to create a [Core Living Area] where it's spring all year round!"
"We need little bridges and flowing water, osmanthus trees, and a Jade Rabbit pounding medicine (though we can use robots for that)."
"We'll live inside, enjoying the atmosphere of cultivation while having the security of technology!"
"This is called the — [Primordial · Cyber · Guanghan]!"
Jiang Chen finished in one breath and looked at his two wives expectantly.
"How is it? Isn't it perfect?"
Silence.
The lunar surface fell into a brief silence.
Ji Linglong rubbed her chin, thoughtful:
"Turning the planet-buster cannon into an alchemy furnace... that idea actually has some creativity. It doesn't lose my dignity, and it has combat capability."
Zero's data eyes spun rapidly, seemingly running a simulation:
[Simulation result... Feasibility 98%.]
[Camouflaging high-tech weapons with an ancient style has extremely strong strategic deception. Enemies will think it's a decoration, thereby letting their guard down.]
[Moreover, this mixed style... seems to fit the latest cosmic aesthetic trend: Retro-Futurism.]
The two looked at each other, the hostility in their eyes dissipating significantly.
"Fine."
Ji Linglong nodded.
"Then we shall follow my husband's words. However, the design of that alchemy furnace must be designed by me personally, and the runes on it must be real!"
[Agreed.]
Zero also nodded.
[As long as it doesn't affect the heat dissipation efficiency of the muzzle, you can stick as many runes as you want.]
"Awesome!"
Jiang Chen was so excited he wanted to cry.
Finally!
He finally managed to coax these two ancestors!
"What are we waiting for? Let's get to work!"
Jiang Chen waved his hand, with the boldness of a construction foreman.
"Sagras III! Stop slacking off! Bring your people over to move bricks!"
"Zero, start the 3D printers!"
"Linglong, cast 'Bean Soldiers'!"
And so.
On the lunar surface, an unprecedented and bizarrely styled massive infrastructure project began.
On the left.
Countless nanobots surged like a tide, devouring the lunar soil and the corpses of the Zerg, converting them into silver-white high-strength alloy plates.
On the right.
Ji Linglong scattered a handful of golden beans, which instantly transformed into hundreds of [Yellow Turban Warriors], three zhang tall and possessing immense strength, running across the moon while carrying massive pillars.
In the middle.
A group of miserable Star Alliance aliens, wearing spacesuits and holding shovels, were digging a foundation for that massive "Alchemy Furnace Planet-Buster Cannon."
"Is this what Earthlings are like..."
Sagras III, while digging a pit, watched a Yellow Turban Warrior run past carrying a pillar larger than a warship, and then looked at the nanobot storm cutting through the moon on the other side.
He was completely convinced.
"Cultivating immortality on one side, doing high-tech on the other."
"Who the hell can beat this?!"
Just as the renovation project on the front side of the moon was in full swing.
On the far side of the moon.
That dark region that always faces away from the Earth, full of mystery and the unknown.
A petite figure was riding a pink mech with an exaggerated design, wandering around inside a huge crater.
It was Xue Youyou.
She disliked that the renovation site was too dusty (actually, she was just too lazy to work), so she brought her new mount—the [pink reaper · Klara]—and ran to the far side to explore.
"Boring... so boring..."
Xue Youyou was sitting in the mech's cockpit (actually, she was just riding on Klara's back), chewing on a lollipop brought from Earth.
"Little Eight, do you think there might be an alien base on the far side of the moon? Or Transformers?"
Klara (wearing an exoskeleton) beneath her waved her tentacles, wanting to cry:
"Master... this is a vacuum, there is no sound... and I have already scanned it; there is nothing here but rocks and dirt..."
"I don't believe it!"
Xue Youyou huffed stubbornly.
"I clearly saw the magnetic field readings jump just now!"
"There must be treasure! Maybe it's the secret stash your deadbeat dad hid!"
As she said this, Xue Youyou manipulated the exoskeleton and fired a high-energy mining laser at the ground beneath her feet.
"Zzz—"
The laser swept across, and the thick lunar soil was blown away.
Suddenly.
"Clang!"
A crisp metallic clanging sound (though inaudible in a vacuum, it vibrated through bone conduction, making Xue Youyou's butt numb) came through.
"Did I dig something up?!"
Xue Youyou's eyes lit up, and she quickly increased the power.
As the lunar soil was cleared away.
A huge, ancient stele, made of a material that looked like neither metal nor stone?
Slowly revealed its true form.
On the stele, there were no high-tech circuit boards, nor were there runes from the cultivation world.
There was only a line of crooked handwriting that looked like some kind of hieroglyphs, but also exuded a cheeky vibe.
After automatic identification by Zero's translation system, the meaning of that line was:
[Private property, no trespassing.]
[Vicious rabbit inside, bites hurt.]
"Vicious rabbit?"
Xue Youyou blinked, looking at the text.
"There are rabbits on the moon?"
"Could it be the legendary Jade Rabbit?"
"Is it delicious? Braised or spicy?"
Just as Xue Youyou was still pondering the recipe.
The stele suddenly vibrated.
Immediately after.
The ground behind the stele cracked open.
A fluffy, white ear poked out from the ground.
Then a second one.
Finally.
A huge, red-eyed, very cute-looking rabbit head crawled out.
"Wow! Such a cute rabbit!"
Xue Youyou just wanted to reach out and touch it.
However.
The next second.
That "cute rabbit" suddenly stood up.
As it stood, the muscles on its body expanded wildly as if being inflated.
"Rrrrip—"
The fur that originally looked soft and cute was instantly stretched open, revealing a set of granite-like muscles even more terrifying than Schwarzenegger's.
This rabbit was a full two and a half meters tall.
It looked down at Xue Youyou, then looked at the stele that said "No Trespassing."
Then.
It slowly raised a fist larger than a sand pot and struck a standard Muay Thai starting pose at Xue Youyou's mech.
Xue Youyou: "..."
Klara: "..."
"Master..."
Klara's voice was trembling.
"I think... we seem to have... dug up something incredible..."
"This rabbit... looks like... it's not someone to mess with..."
