Chapter 1092: Landing on the Moon

~6 min read 1,193 words

Hong Wei stood on Yueqiu, holding Meng Jiao's hand.

Facing the engineering robot's camera.

He waved his hand.

"This is Daxia's achievement, and also the achievement of all humanity."

"Meng Jiao and I have taken this step; soon Yueqiu will be covered with our footprints."

"We have arrived, we will not leave again; this place will become humanity's new home."

This man and woman represent new life.

Meng Jiao also greets the countless people on Lanxing.

"This time we will live on Yueqiu for six months."

"We will complete humanity's exploration of living on Yueqiu."

"At the same time, we will continue to broadcast our life on Yueqiu."

"All revenue will be invested in humanity's grand spaceflight endeavors."

"If possible, in the future we hope to welcome new life on Yueqiu."

Wow……

Heavenly Vessel is truly bold, actually sending a man and a woman to Yueqiu to have children.

But at the same time, Hong Wei and Meng Jiao's fearless, exploratory and sacrificial spirit deeply moved all humanity.

Having children on Yueqiu is extremely dangerous.

Even if Heavenly Vessel can provide continuous support, it is still a very risky project.

Heavenly Vessel's actions quickly drew countless praises as well as countless denunciations.

But none of that matters.

What matters is that Heavenly Vessel showed its determination to the whole world.

Soon, Hong Wei and Meng Jiao planted a flag on Yueqiu.

They also concluded their exploration mission.

Then they entered the small base composed of three modules.

Inside the isolation compartment, after a round of dust removal and disinfection, Hong Wei and Meng Jiao removed their heavy spacesuits.

They folded and stored them before opening the transfer module leading to the other compartments.

People in the Live Broadcast Room only then saw the vast space, as large as a giant hotel.

They also saw a farm that already had a hint of green.

"A place this big could top a villa."

"It looks so comfortable; I feel I could live in it for a lifetime."

"The key is there is gravity here; living is much more comfortable than in Taikong Lüguan."

"Heavenly Vessel is truly generous, spending several hundred billion; it launches as soon as it says so."

"I heard Heavenly Vessel sold lunar soil for nearly a hundred billion USD."

"No wonder Heavenly Vessel is so extravagant."

"By the way, does the flag Hong Wei planted mean this area will belong to Daxia in the future?"

"Probably about right; grabbing land is just like that."

"This place is rich in water ice."

"Daxia got a huge bargain."

"We must hurry up, otherwise Daxia will take all the good spots."

"I heard Ma Yilong has already fled to Daxia."

"Ma Yilong did the right thing; staying in Yingjiang any longer would leave him with no chance."

"Ma Yilong was harshly scolded by Yingjiang and also suffered a huge blow in Yingjiang's industry."

"I know that; I heard the Yang Family has already withdrawn massive investments from Yingjiang."

"It seems they retrieved several trillion USD."

"Yingjiang is practicing discrimination; if the Yang Family doesn't run, they'd be swallowed whole by Yingjiang. Their shamelessness is known to all."

"The Yang Family fled from the mountain top; I think they're not afraid of Yingjiang, they just made enough money, and if they don't run now they'll be trapped."

"Could Yingjiang's financial crisis be approaching?"

"According to economic cycles, Yingjiang's cycle should be arriving as well."

"It might really be so; the Yang Family's rise seems closely tied to financial speculation."

"They always manage to get the tastiest morsels during financial crises."

"The person upstairs is now watching the Yueqiu Base."

"Do you know what benefits from landing on Yueqiu? It benefits the spaceflight concept."

"Why does the Yang Family reclaim so much cash? Isn't it for spaceflight?"

"The upstairs really said it; with that much money, Heavenly Vessel could splurge for over a decade."

"Wrong, wrong, wrong, you forgot what Yang Qing said; nuclear fusion, they will definitely increase investment in nuclear fusion."

……

……

Hong Wei and the others rested for several hours in Yueqiu No. 1 Base (a triangular complex formed by the Yueqiunongchang module, a living module, and a research module).

During this time, the Live Broadcast Room still retained massive viewership.

Robots occasionally came over to interact with everyone and then gave a tour of the Yueqiu Base.

Let everyone not feel bored.

The next day, the well-rested Hong Wei and Meng Jiao finally began work.

The first thing they needed to do was to unpack the packages.

Take out the cargo and arrange it properly.

Then start up all the equipment.

Lanxing.

Watching the two lively Yueqiu people.

The countries and major related companies of Lanxing stayed up all night, because the development of the Heavenly Vessel was really too fast.

So fast that it caught them off guard.

Countries that were originally under pressure and still hesitant.

In the end, they no longer hesitated.

"Go to Daxia, visit Daxia, improve relations, cooperate—we cannot fall behind."

Just after kicking Ma Yilong out, the Yingjiang who were preparing to share the fruits of victory suddenly found themselves abandoned by all.

Funds and orders were pulled away one by one.

Leaning toward Daxia, one cannot rely merely on empty talk.

They need to contribute something substantive.

The third day.

Having completed the basic tasks inside the cabin, Hong Wei and Meng Jiao began directing the engineering robots to package the lunar soil and then send it into the return spacecraft.

Three Heavenly Vessel landers, two of which have return capsules.

As the lunar soil was filled.

The return capsule rose into the air.

The people in the Live Broadcast Room watched the entire process as the robots excavated various lunar samples and then sent them into the return capsule.

And watched as the return capsule rose and disappeared into the darkness.

On Lanxing, those waiting to receive the cargo watched the entire return of the return capsule.

When the return capsule landed on the Gobi Desert.

The world was once again in an uproar.

Because the lunar soil brought back this time was too much.

Moreover, the samples were complete.

Moreover, they were taken from the most ideal location.

The value of this lunar soil is too high.

Once they obtain it, they can directly commence lunar research and formulate their own lunar landing and lunar base plans.

At the moment the return capsule landed, the climax of the backstabbing of Yingjiang finally landed.

The Yingjiang space standards are now merely nominal.

Ma Yilong, who had already moved to Qiongzhou, seeing this result, laughed out loud.

He never expected that retribution would come so quickly.

It far exceeded his expectations.

He originally estimated that this would take at least several years.

In the end, less than a few months later, the situation underwent a dramatic change.

Lost the financial and order support of allies.

Relying solely on Yingjiang, it is difficult to sustain the Yingjiang space program.

Unless they eliminate other companies and concentrate all resources in a single company.

Just like the former space agency.

Without regard to cost, without regard to price……
