156: Chapter 156 Live Broadcast of the Moon Landing

"Old Gao, we worked so hard to open up the overseas market. Now that the door is open, if you don't do anything, people will soon follow suit!"

Zhang Baiyi said.

Follow suit?

Gao Yuan smiled. If that really happened, wouldn't it be better? Things were so messy outside right now; he would wait until they finished fighting and then settle the score with the winner! Wiping them all out at once—how great would that be!

"Just do your own work! Don't worry about those details outside! Xu Lin, recall all the employees from abroad!"

...

Black Fish Technology moved quickly. The robots and Xia Country employees at the America stores began boarding planes to return to Xia Country the next day.

Other Xia Country enterprises in America were also being marginalized.

They were originally happy to hear that Black Fish Technology's stores had also been smashed, thinking they wouldn't have to step up themselves. With Gao Yuan's personality, he would surely crush them.

But they didn't expect Black Fish Technology to move so fast—fast as they were, they had actually run away.

International Douyin, Little Green Book, and other enterprises in America, as well as the US branches of many state-owned enterprises, were all looking expectantly at Black Fish Technology, but they didn't expect Black Fish Technology to back down this time.

In fact, many people internationally were also watching.

After all, anyone in this world who had dared to cross Black Fish Technology was already gone.

Black Fish Technology's reaction this time was shocking.

Many foreign organizations were celebrating, believing that after Black Fish Technology destroyed Neon last time, it actually had no antimatter left, and its Space Warship was now just for show.

Consequently, places everywhere began to marginalize Black Fish Technology's products.

Gao Yuan, however, turned a deaf ear to such things...

At this time, a press conference for Life-Sustaining Base Fluid was being held in location. Gao Yuan didn't even attend; it was hosted by Zhang Baiyi and Bai Moyu.

Life-Sustaining Base Fluid was indeed impressive...

But more people in the medical industry felt a sense of crisis.

Coupled with Gao Yuan's failure abroad, his reputation on the internet reversed overnight.

Many people began to slander Black Fish Technology.

"Gao Yuan, that murderer, should go to hell. Why isn't he retaliating this time?"

"He only dares to act violently against Asians. In America, they're riding on his neck, yet he doesn't dare to retaliate!"

"How many people's livelihoods has Gao Yuan destroyed? Since Gao Yuan appeared, have you noticed that our lives are getting harder and our international image is becoming more and more unbearable?"

"The black fish... met a cook, haha!"

...

As for Gao Yuan, he was currently checking the construction progress of the Daqing Mountain base. Using the Construction Insects again, Daqing Mountain had effectively become a super city, with over a hundred thousand employees. Not just around Muza, but many young people from all over the entire location had joined Black Fish Technology.

Gao Yuan felt the time was ripe.

The robots Gao Qiu had given him last time had brought back four types of high technology. Even in the Future World, these technologies were restricted. Microbial Gene Editing Technology had already been put to use; the withered virus and the various bacteria used to produce Nutritional Paste were products of this technology.

As for the other three technologies—antimatter manufacturing technology, warship manufacturing technology, and 3D precision printing technology—Gao Yuan did not intend to use them on Earth. He wanted to develop the Moon Base.

When he went to Qinjing before, he had also brought two space buses as gifts for the country.

Just today, the National Space Center announced that it would broadcast Xia Country's manned moon landing mission live to the world tomorrow.

Gao Yuan prepared to join the country...

This time, he would go up personally to build a base on the moon that integrated mining, manufacturing, and military operations.

To this end, Gao Yuan called Qin Tiejun.

He requested a joint live broadcast between Black Fish Technology and the National Space Center.

Black Fish Technology didn't need a joint venture at all, but it was a matter of attitude.

Gao Yuan was signaling to the national leadership that he was willing to cooperate sincerely with them to control the coming world.

After all, the Earth was so big; it would be too boring if Gao Yuan played alone.

...

In Muza, at the Black Fish Technology Industrial Park, there was a huge space bus launch site in the Phase II project.

Although it was called a launch, there was actually very little commotion.

By now, staff from the National Space Agency had already arrived here.

When Zhou Zhengli learned that Gao Yuan was also going to the moon, he made the decision to move the launch to Muza, to Gao Yuan's base. This was a reciprocal gesture, with both sides showing their sincerity.

On the base, three space buses were lined up. Twenty-six astronauts from the National Space Agency were already in position.

The host held a microphone.

Staff from the Xia Country Central Radio and Television General Channel, Xia Country Network Television Station, Xinxia News Agency, and Xia Country Daily were filming with their cameras.

Hai Yan, a news anchor from CCTV, was explaining into the microphone.

"Hello, viewers. I am Hai Yan, and this is the live broadcast of the CCTV moon landing!"

"This moon landing is the first time Xia Country's astronauts will officially set foot on the moon. We are currently at the Muza Launch Base in Linzhou City, Shannan Province! Behind me, as you can see, the manned space tools for this mission are different from before! There are no sky-piercing rockets, no massive gantries—only three vehicles that look like modified buses... I'll keep you in suspense for a moment: can you guess what we'll use to complete the moon landing?"

Hai Yan walked toward the space buses...

At this moment, a group of people in the live stream chat were spamming.

"That wasn't a very good cliffhanger. Gao Yuan drove one before; this thing is called the Baby Bus!"

"Isn't this Black Fish Technology's space bus?"

"The country has fallen!"

"I knew Black Fish Technology's strategic resolve had increased lately. Before, if anyone dared touch Gao Yuan's things, they'd be wiped out. Now that his stores have been smashed, he just issued a condemnation on Weibo. It turns out he was acquired by the state!"

"Where is Gao Yuan? I suspect Gao Yuan has joined the establishment; otherwise, how could he have such resolve!"

"Damn it, I'm leaving too. Don't ask me why. The authorities cooperating with a murderer like Gao Yuan is a violation of human rights!"

Hai Yan arrived in front of the space buses.

"As you can see, these bus-like tools are actually quite large, with half the space inside available for passengers and various equipment! This moon landing mission has been named the 'Moon Palace Project.' There are three space buses here: this one is named Moon Palace No. 1, the one behind it is Moon Palace No. 2... and the last one is called... black fish!"

After Hai Yan finished speaking, even she couldn't keep a straight face.

The netizens were even more amused.

"Great name... I thought she was going to have me guess if the third one was called Moon Palace No. 3!"

"Did she say it wrong? They should be called black fish No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3!"

"The state has finally given up. They're not even building their own rockets anymore; they're just using Black Fish Technology's space buses..."

At this time, the twenty-six astronauts lined up, all looking a bit nervous. This was Xia Country's first moon landing. Although rumors online said Gao Yuan had already been up many times, it hadn't been officially confirmed, and Gao Yuan hadn't admitted it either. So, they were still the first people to land on the moon in the official records...

But there were quite a few people this time..."
