Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

Surprisingly, no one dared to say much.

Even the monkeys who usually jump around so energetically, from South Korea and Lipbon, didn't dare to utter a single word.

After all, the three big thugs were just about to start fighting.

At this point, the situation is unclear, and no small country is so foolish as to dare to act recklessly.

Even at regular UN meetings, no one dared to condemn violations of the Treaty to End Nuclear Testing.

After all, they're the ones who set the rules.

If you really push them too far, they'll flip the table and quit.

You can only watch helplessly.

When China and the US are arguing at the United Nations, small countries have no choice but to squat instead of standing or sitting.

……

Xishan Base, underground structure.

These days, Fang Jing has mainly been maintaining contact with the world of The Wandering Earth and occasionally transporting over some necessary technologies.

This includes various communication technologies and AI control technologies.

Don't underestimate these things.

Learning from the finished products of The Wandering Earth can save us many years of hard work.

Take control technology, for example.

The control and responsiveness of exoskeleton weapon systems greatly enhance combat capabilities.

Another thing that pleased Fang Jing was that the quantum pathway within the base was finally installed.

This means that Fang Jing can now access the internet within the base!

This is also why the higher-ups opened the door for him; otherwise, how could a network be specially set up in a base of this level?

Anyway, after being offline for several days, he was finally able to surf the internet for a while.

This made him very excited.

As a result, once his phone, which had been switched off for several days, was turned on and connected to Wi-Fi, he was immediately drawn to a live broadcast.

"Live broadcast of the first lunar rocket launch test?"

"We're about to launch!"

Excited, Fang Jing couldn't wait to click into the live stream.

The live stream room was completely dark, but there were a lot of people there. A huge number of netizens gathered here and actually started chatting in the barrage.

"Where's the screen? Why is it still black?"

"Knock knock knock, if you're so capable, why don't you start a live stream? Why don't you turn on the screen!"

"Bring it up quickly! Bring the lunar rocket up quickly!"

"I can't wait any longer, it has to succeed!!!"

"Calm down, everyone, calm down. It's only the 29th, and the launch won't happen until the day after tomorrow. What's the rush?"

"I can't sleep at all! Ugh! I've been having insomnia for a month now!"

"Holy crap, where did that god upstairs come from?"

"..."

Just as the topic was gradually going astray in the live stream chat, suddenly, the screen flashed.

The image appeared!

The camera's view was directed at the massive 150-meter-tall building outside the beach.

This is a giant launch tower.

The launch tower was closed at the time, and the massive steel armor protected the rocket.

Although the rocket's true form cannot be seen, one can tell from this towering, massive building that it is no small rocket.

Meanwhile, the live stream also showed footage of the control room.

"Look, the launch time is displayed on the big screen at the front of the control room."

"1:20 AM on July 31st!"

Chapter 23 We wanted to go up, so we did.

China has publicly announced the specific launch time of its lunar rocket.

The news made headlines in news media around the world the very next morning.

Even yesterday's announcement by the United States that it had conducted a nuclear test in the Pacific was overshadowed by this news.

Meanwhile, within the United States, rumors circulated in the news media that "Chinese rockets stole technology from the US Apollo program."

Moreover, this rumor seems to be spreading even further.

Even a Fox News writer publicly stated that the other party was a spy who stole US technical data.

In response, CIA Administrator Clyde released evidence of the theft of NASA's database on social media.

As a result, netizens from both China and the US clashed directly over the Bluebird (a virtual bird-themed internet service).

"I knew China couldn't possibly have this kind of technology; it turns out it was stolen," a South Korean netizen sarcastically remarked.

"Hehe, go steal one, let's see if your South Korea can build one." Chinese netizens retorted without hesitation.

"This rocket is doomed to fail; it'll probably explode halfway through the flight," an Indian netizen commented with chilling sarcasm.

"It's better than you guys crashing planes every day, oh, and submarines actually diving."

"We're going to see the most expensive fireworks in history on the 31st!" joked an American netizen.

"Thanks for the invitation, but the Soviet Union was the biggest firework, we won't take the blame for that." In order to retort, we had no choice but to make things difficult for Russia.

In short, many people on the internet are pessimistic about this.

Some even went so far as to directly curse.

This content is giving Chinese netizens a heart attack.

The more this is the case, the more anticipation there is among Chinese netizens.

I hope this rocket launch will be successful.

I hope they can prove those despicable people wrong!

Time passed slowly, and the public in the country became increasingly anxious.

Fang Jing, watching from inside the base, also felt tense.

He never imagined that things would escalate to such a huge extent.

After being isolated in the base for only half a month, the outside world seemed to be turning upside down.

Fortunately, these changes were all within his expectations.

China will surely rise step by step into the stars amidst these changes.

After all, our journey is to the stars and the sea!

The technology of the Wandering Earth world alone is enough for China in this universe to officially embark on its journey into space.

Fang Jing looked at the sky in the live broadcast room, and at the huge launch tower.

This is just the beginning of a major transformation.

Don't be surprised yet, there's more to come that will surprise you!

It's just a lunar landing; it's merely a warm-up.

When I bring out the space elevator, how will you deal with it?

……

On the evening of February 30th.

South China Sea, outside the space command center.

Zhu Jincheng spoke with Fang Jingtong on the phone, offering his condolences before getting out of the car.

Before me stood a dense crowd of reporters.

They frantically pressed the shutter button in their hands, stretched out their microphones, and asked him questions.

"Mr. Zhu, when did my country begin preparations for its lunar landing program?"

Are you confident about this launch?

"Mr. Zhu, what is the name of our lunar rocket?"

"..."

Faced with a barrage of questions, Mr. Zhu simply gestured with his hand, and the surrounding reporters immediately fell silent.
