160: Chapter 160 Building a City on the Moon

The internal scenes of the three space buses were all opened for live broadcast to the national audience.

The main purpose was to showcase the internal environment and the mental state of the lunar landing personnel.

The National Team and Gao Yuan were simply two extremes.

"Why do I feel like Gao Yuan is going on vacation?"

"What do you mean 'like'? He is! To President Gao, the Moon is just a vacation spot. Forgot about the lunar advertising space for rent? The Moon is his advertising space. Isn't inspecting his own property considered a vacation?"

"The National Team is so serious!"

"So proper... I feel like I could go to the Moon too!"

In front of the space bus was the boundless space, pitch black like an abyss, with only the light of the Moon growing larger in their field of vision.

Behind the space bus was the Earth.

This was likely the first time many people in their lives had seen the complete appearance of the Earth from a live broadcast room.

Ancestors lived on Earth for thousands of years but were never able to glimpse its full form; it wasn't until modern times, with satellites launched into space, that the first picture of Earth was taken.

And now, Tan Jianlong turned his head to look at the Earth behind him.

He didn't know how to describe his feelings—shock, trepidation, helplessness. Some people stand on a cliff looking into the abyss, while others stand in the abyss looking at the cliff walls, but no scenery is as shocking as looking at the Earth from space.

It is this celestial body that nurtured all of humanity.

This is the common home of mankind.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were also dazed by the sight.

If watching the live broadcast was this shocking, what would it be like to experience it in person?

Gao Yuan sat in the space bus, drinking wine and eating meat, his mind starting to ponder what he should do after reaching the Moon.

...

Time passed quickly.

Under the gaze of thousands of netizens, the Moon grew larger and larger, and astronaut Qin Mu began his explanation.

"We are now about to enter lunar orbit to find a suitable landing site! According to the plan, we have chosen Guanghan Palace as our first landing spot! Guanghan Palace is a terrain explored by the Chang'e and Yutu missions! It is located between Oceanus Procellarum and Mare Humorum!"

"Our space bus has now completed a full orbit around the Moon. The landing site has been locked, and the space bus is beginning to turn..."

Gao Yuan sat in the vehicle...

He stretched and said, "Descend!"

The black fish space bus took a direct dive. The nearby Moon Palace No. 1 and Moon Palace 2 were startled as they watched the black fish ship streak past.

"Nothing will go wrong, will it?"

someone asked.

"Probably not..."

Two minutes later, Gao Yuan's voice came through the space bus's console: "Hurry down, why are you so slow?"

A group of astronauts looked at each other in bewilderment...

This was the Moon.

Tan Jianlong was already eager to go. They finally arrived; they put on their spacesuits and made all the necessary preparations.

He had expected a huge impact upon landing, but the space bus landed steadily, without even a speck of dust splashing up.

Excited, Tan Jianlong turned to Zhou Gu and asked, "Teacher Zhou, have we reached the Moon?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Gu was also a bit excited.

Reaching the door, it opened, and Zhou Gu was the first to jump down.

The landing was very light! The light was dim. Zhou Gu looked into the distance; the pitch-black sky, the distant blue planet—every sight was so wonderful.

He beckoned behind him.

Soon, a group of people filed out one after another.

As the captain of Moon Palace No. 1, Zhou Gu began arranging various tasks.

Meanwhile, Gao Yuan sat inside the black fish ship; the robots had already gone down.

Gao Yuan began directing the robots to build the base.

Zhou Gu was startled when he saw the people from Black Fish Technology. These people actually weren't wearing spacesuits... they were moving on the lunar surface just like that, with nothing.

What was going on? How did they do it?

Could it be that Black Fish Technology had some new high-tech that allowed people to move freely on the lunar surface?

Unable to figure it out, Zhou Gu first worked with his team members to install the signal transmitter so the live broadcast footage would be clearer.

What Gao Yuan wanted to do was... build a base here.

Under Gao Yuan's command, a group of robots moved a machine down from the space bus.

This was the 3D Micro-printer he had prepared on Earth. Such technology was high-tech even in the Future World. Relying on molecular-level purification technology and the powerful computing power of bio-chips, it could achieve integrated mining, smelting, and manufacturing!

The netizens in the live broadcast room watched as the Black Fish Technology staff installed a strange machine on the Moon.

This was the only piece of equipment from Heiye Technology.

"What is Black Fish Technology doing?"

"I don't know. I just want to know why they aren't wearing spacesuits?"

"Haha, such a low-level mistake. There's no air on the Moon. Is Gao Yuan filming this in a studio? Don't embarrass yourself."

"Incredible! Wearing nothing! Aren't they afraid of UV rays? Don't they need to breathe?"

"Black Fish Technology is far ahead. What's there to fear? I bet the Black Fish Technology employees have practiced the Tortoise Breathing Technique!"

Many people in the live broadcast room were being sarcastic and cynical.

But that had nothing to do with Gao Yuan.

He didn't care now. There was no need to pretend. Foreign countries were almost finished anyway, so there was no need to be secretive!

Those who don't believe you won't believe anything you say! Those who believe you don't need an explanation; they just understand.

The robots finished installing the 3D Micro-printer...

On the National Team's side, the national flag had already been planted. Some people began collecting various specimens, while others tested various data...

Gao Yuan sighed. Why go through all that trouble?

"Lunar city construction! Begin!"

Soon, the Construction Insects and the 3D Micro-printer began to work.

Under the control of the Optical Quantum Computer, the Construction Insects began building the main structures at Guanghan Palace.

This was Gao Yuan's main base on the Moon. He planned to build a tourist base next to it later, which could expand travel routes to Oceanus Procellarum! With the base right there, all kinds of supplies would be very convenient and wouldn't need transportation! This would save a lot of time.

The National Team's astronauts looked at Gao Yuan, not knowing what he was doing.

But they were all stunned when they saw the tide-like Construction Insects 'growing' a massive building foundation on the lunar surface as if by magic.

Was Gao Yuan building a city?

On Earth, in the live broadcast room, the netizens were also stunned.

Someone was still trolling: "This animation is a bit crappy. Can't you spend a bit more money?"

"I see the Construction Insects! So that's how Construction Insects work!"

"Holy crap, I didn't believe it when Gao Yuan said he was going to open a lunar tourism line, but now he's already starting to build a city?"

"Moon Base, Guanghan Palace?"

The Construction Insects began building, and the 3D Micro-printer also started working.

People saw a conveyor belt automatically extending underground and into the distance. Lunar rocks were constantly being swallowed and then decomposed into various raw material particles. These particles were then 3D printed into various vehicles!
