79: Chapter 79 Advertising Space for Rent
Might as well cause some trouble...
Gao Yuan walked into this custom shop.
Inside, there was still a robot clerk.
"Welcome, what would you like to customize?"
"Customize a banner!!" Gao Yuan said.
"The content?"
"Hmm, like this: the five-starred red flag of ancient Xia, with a sentence added below: The moon has been an inseparable part of Xia since ancient times! Yeah, just like that. Make it as big as you can!"
"Do you have any other requirements, sir?"
"Yes, do you have the kind of instrument that can write on the moon's surface such that it can be seen from Earth?"
Gao Yuan asked.
It was lucky the clerk was a robot; otherwise, they would definitely think Gao Yuan was a lunatic...
That's the benefit of robots. No matter how unreasonable or bizarre a customer's request is, they will first consider its feasibility...
"Sir, we have ultra-high-power laser projection devices! Theoretically, as long as the power is high enough, we can create patterns and text visible from Earth!"
"Is the power of your laser projection device high enough?"
"One isn't enough, but we can set up multiple units—say, ten thousand... that would be enough! Each unit would be responsible for one point!"
Gao Yuan understood...
If the power isn't enough, make up for it with numbers...
Ten thousand ultra-high-power projection devices arranged on the moon's surface, turned on simultaneously, could project text and patterns.
Gao Yuan wanted to have some fun now.
He unhesitatingly customized ten thousand units, then went to other shops on the moon to buy ten thousand robots and a thousand lunar low-altitude flying vehicles.
Then, with these robots sitting in the flying vehicles, Gao Yuan went to an open area and summoned the Space-Time Gate with his brain waves...
Soon, the Space-Time Gate appeared in front of Gao Yuan...
Gao Yuan had the robots drive the flying vehicles through the Space-Time Gate, also carrying the oversized five-starred red flag he had just customized.
Gao Yuan sat in the last flying vehicle and passed through the Space-Time Gate...
Just by crossing a single gate, the scenery was completely different...
The moon in the real world was empty and quiet, without massive mining equipment, towering lunar space stations, or lunar elevators, and certainly no space buses shuttling back and forth overhead...
Gao Yuan first had the robots fix the giant five-starred red flag onto the moon's surface...
Then, according to the designed pattern, ten thousand robots carrying ten thousand ultra-high-power laser projectors distributed themselves across the moon. Once all the robots were in place...
Gao Yuan had them activate the projectors...
Then... he left the robots and flying vehicles on the moon's surface, drove one flying vehicle himself, and crossed back through the Space-Time Gate to the Future World...
He took the nearest space bus back to Earth... found a hotel, and rested comfortably for a few hours.
Ten o'clock the next morning...
Gao Yuan left the hotel. This time, he used his Brain-Link to mark the location of his transit so he could compare it with the location in the real world and look for patterns...
Crossing back to the real world, Gao Yuan opened the GPS on his phone...
And checked his position...
Neither the longitude nor the latitude seemed to be the same... Gao Yuan compared the location of Muza with the location of Longjing in the Future World...
He really did find a similarity.
The difference between their longitudes and latitudes was the same...
Gao Yuan could understand it this way: the Space-Time Gate was a passage in four-dimensional space. This passage depended on his own spirit for existence, and there was a curvature inside the passage that caused a certain offset when traveling through time and space... but this offset rate was fixed.
It was like this four-dimensional passage was a spiral slide. No matter where the slide was, the deviation between the entrance and exit of the slide was fixed...
Of course, because there was little experimental data now, it was just a guess on Gao Yuan's part. He could verify it after crossing at a few more locations in the future...
After Gao Yuan crossed over...
He knew he would definitely cause a worldwide sensation today because... the moon had changed.
So before making a public appearance, he sent his location to his security robots via brain waves to ensure they had already arrived in Qinjing and were around him. He also checked that the Protective Spheres, transformers, and Armed Self-Defense Reconnaissance Drones were all working normally.
Gao Yuan then walked out of that remote alley. An San and An Si were waiting at the alley entrance, and seeing Gao Yuan come out, they naturally followed behind him!
"Let's go... to..."
To where?
Gao Yuan only then remembered that Qin Tiejun hadn't told him the location yesterday at all...
So, he immediately contacted Qin Tiejun: "Director Qin, I've arrived in Qinjing... where can I find you?"
Qin Tiejun was currently overwhelmed with problems...
Because the whole world was in chaos. Just last night... when someone abroad was looking at the moon, they discovered some patterns on it...
So he took photos with a high-definition camera and posted them on social media...
Soon, people discovered that these patterns were actually Xia characters.
People who understood Chinese translated these characters...
The content was shocking.
"Advertising Space for Rent — Black Fish Technology!"
These images quickly caused a sensation in the circle of astronomy enthusiasts, and many people were woken up in the middle of the night...
They set up astronomical telescopes and began observing the moon...
Then they discovered an even more shocking fact.
A huge Xia national flag had appeared on the moon's surface. How big was it? It could cover a medium-sized lunar mare!
And underneath, it also advertised — The moon has been an inseparable part of Xia since ancient times!
These images quickly spread to space agencies in various countries...
Once they confirmed the authenticity of the event, some began to panic, some were furious, and even more people just wanted to watch the show...
Early this morning...
The Xia internet exploded.
'Moon Advertising Space for Rent' skyrocketed to the number one trending topic...
Netizens who woke up early were a bit confused seeing this trending topic...
What rental? What's going on?
So people began searching for related information. When they saw the photos taken by foreign netizens, they all thought it was a prank...
A close-up of the moon, with red rental text on top and Black Fish Technology's signature below...
After zooming in several times on the center of these words, a national flag could also be seen!
If a professional astronomical telescope was used to continue zooming in dozens of times, one could see that there were also words under the national flag...
Xia netizens were thrilled...
"Hiss, was this image photoshopped by Black Fish Technology themselves? This advertisement... the whole world knows now!"
"Awesome... Gao Yuan has been promoted to the new Chief of the Strategic Foolery Bureau!"
"How did foreigners believe such a ridiculous image?"
"It's actually so damn creative, advertising space for rent on the moon... awesome!"
Not only did the netizens disbelieve it, but even when it first reached the Xia Space Agency, the experts there just gave a disdainful smile...
"People actually believe an image like this?"
However, when they saw the reaction of the United States and collected a large amount of data, they were shocked...
Such a ridiculous image...
Was actually real! This was even more ridiculous than the image... Who was so capable? To stake a claim and draw advertising space on the moon!
