Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

"3, 2, 1, takeoff!"

With a command from Lü Yongchang, the Xuan Nu No. 1 on the runway drew a graceful curve and leaped into the air!

The next moment, the scene subtly changed.

The host, Bingbing, reappeared on camera, still sporting that sweet smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xuan Nu No. 1 has successfully taken off."

"It's time for us to say goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless comments flashed across the screen.

"???"

"That's it? That's all?"

"So short and weak?! What happened to the promised full live broadcast? And after introducing Professor Lü for so long, you didn't even give him a single interview shot?"

Seemingly noticing the comments from the viewers, Bingbing chuckled and said, "Of course the live stream isn't over yet."

"According to the latest data, Xuan Nu-1 will arrive on the moon in ten hours!"

"As for Professor Lü's interview footage..." As she spoke, Bingbing quickly glanced at the left side of the camera, as if she had received some instructions.

"I can reveal to everyone that, as originally planned, we invited Professor Lü to do a program about the Lunar Palace Project."

"However, in order to ensure the successful implementation of the Lunar Palace Project, Professor Lü declined our invitation."

"Alright, I won't say any more. The live broadcast will now be handled by the cameras inside the Xuan Nu No. 1!"

As Bingbing finished speaking, the live stream screen quietly changed.

Zhao Zijie stared blankly at the computer screen in front of him.

A huge console.

Various indicator lights were flashing on the control panel.

Of course, in some key areas, the staff "thoughtfully" covered them with thick mosaics.

Directly above the control panel are three glass portholes.

You can clearly see the outside world through the porthole.

After a brief delay, the chat room exploded with comments!

"Holy crap! Is this something we can even look at?!"

"Don't worry, didn't you see the crucial parts are blurred out?"

"Is it possible that Xuan Nu II is already on the production line, and the internal footage of Xuan Nu I is no longer that important?"

……

Sina Weibo headquarters.

Before the live stream started, Sina Weibo added ten servers to ensure smooth streaming, but now...

"Quick! Xiao Wang, add all the backup servers for me!"

"What?! You've used them all?! You can't you find something else, can you?!"

"Holy crap...where did all these people come from?!"

The person in charge swallowed hard as he watched the data on the backend system grow.

He received instructions from higher-ups just two days ago.

If we mess it up...

The person in charge shivered slightly.

Then, his voice rose even higher: "Hurry up! Even if you have to connect two potatoes, you guys have to keep the server stable!"

……

"The Top Academic Genius at Sandaokou University: A Glimpse into the Daily Life of Professor Lü Yongchang"

Professor Lü refused an interview with Xia Guo News, and the reason was...

"..."

Headlines like these flooded the entire Xia Kingdom's internet.

At this moment, the Xia Kingdom's execution capabilities were on full display!

The entire internet was completely devoid of any words that smeared Lü Yongchang.

Even if they exist, they will be quickly deleted by the cyber police and administrators of major websites the moment they appear. Some stubborn kids even won a 15-day sewing machine experience package because of this.

As for Lü Yongchang's refusal of Xia Guo News' invitation, it was repeatedly praised.

"These are true researchers!"

"Unlike those internet celebrities who desperately want everyone to know about them when they're just trying to ride a trending topic!"

"..."

……

Ten hours later.

Lunar orbit.

"Calling ground control center, this is Xuan Nu No. 1, please respond!"

"We have reached lunar orbit and request descent!"

A few seconds later, Lü Yongchang responded over the radio.

"Landing clearance!"

"receive!"

After responding, Bai Yixuan maneuvered the Xuan Nu No. 1 to descend towards the designated location.

During the period of developing lunar mining equipment, the three drivers flew the Xuan Nu 1 to and from the moon more than ten times. It can be said that now they can come to the moon as easily and skillfully as if they were going home.

As for the purpose of these more than ten trips to the moon...

Naturally, the goal is to bring all the necessary equipment for the Lunar Palace project to the moon.

The Xuan Nu No. 1's carrying capacity was not large enough to move all the supplies at once.

then……

At this very moment, various heavy equipment is erected on the silvery-white surface of the moon.

Smelting furnace, tracked conveyor, ore sorting equipment...

It's like building a small-scale ore smelting plant.

Countless specks of moon dust instantly rose around the fuselage.

Three pilots, dressed in spacesuits and carrying cameras, disembarked from the Xuan Nu 1.

The moment the view of the moon's surface was transmitted to Earth via satellite, the entire Xia Kingdom... the entire world, everyone watching the live broadcast was stunned!

"Holy crap?!"

"Isn't the Moon Palace Project supposed to officially begin today?"

"You actually believe what the rabbit says?"

Rabbit: I've only done a tiny bit.

"Holy crap... I'd believe you even if you said we were just missing one last automated mining unit!"

"Congratulations on answering correctly, but there's no prize!"

After setting up the camera, Bai Yixuan and two teammates went to the abdomen of Xuan Nu No. 1.

He reached out and pressed a few buttons.

With the hydraulic transmission system in operation, the cargo door on the belly of the vehicle slowly opened.

Inside the cargo hold, nine silver-white cubes, each with a side length of two meters, lay quietly.

"This is the automated mining equipment?" Hong Fan's voice rang out in the team channel. "It doesn't seem very reliable to me..."

"Logically speaking... there should at least be a drill bit, right?"

Bai Yixuan shrugged and said irritably, "Who knows? Maybe it exists, but it's just hidden?"

"Hmm? Is that so?" Hong Fan quickly walked to the silver-white cube and looked inside through the cracks on its surface.

"Alright, alright, let's finish the task quickly. These nine things are not easy to move!" Bai Yixuan walked past Hong Fan and headed towards the moving machinery on the side.

Hong Fan looked up at Bai Yixuan's retreating figure and said blankly, "Aren't you curious?"

"After all, Professor Lü also got involved in this thing; who knows how much high technology it contains..."

Xia Wanyi's voice rang out.

That makes so much sense, he was speechless...

Hong Fan paused for a moment, then abandoned his curiosity and walked towards his two teammates.

Even though the moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of Earth, moving these huge things is no easy task.

With the help of transport machinery, the three worked together to successfully move the nine silver-white cubes to their designated location.

"call……"

Bai Yixuan let out a long sigh of relief, then turned on the radio.

"Ground command center, mission accomplished."
