People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 93: Six Years Of Being On the Moon

“The Blue Moon Technology Corporation has built ‘Yuean City’ on the Moon and is recruiting the first batch of immigrants…”

“All individuals under the age of 35 are eligible to apply. Please fill out the information carefully, and if approved, our staff will contact you personally…”

As soon as this news appeared on November 13, 2028, it went viral across the internet.

“Immigrating to the Moon? For real?!”

“Wow, they’re even getting people to live on the Moon now…”

“Why is there an age restriction? I’m 65 this year, and I still feel young…”

“Of course, they need young people to go to the moon for development and construction. At your age, you’ll be collecting retirement pensions and dancing in the square, right?”

“Do they provide housing? If they do, I’m ready to immigrate…”

“Who knows what the conditions are? I just got dumped, and I want to go…”

Initially, people had doubts, but as time passed, more news reports emerged, and the federal government provided criteria for selecting immigrants.

It became clear that immigration was indeed real.

“Team leader, Liu Longlong has been in the restroom smoking for almost half an hour…”

One person reported to the team leader about a worker going to have a break for too long.

The team leader’s face lit up but showed an angry expression, “Damn it, even I don’t take breaks that long. It seems like he doesn’t want to keep this job!”

Just then, Liu Longlong returned from the restroom.

“Liu Longlong, you took so long in the restroom, do you still want to work here?” The team leader said angrily.

Liu Longlong glanced at him and coldly snorted, “I don’t want to work here anymore. You and your lackeys can have fun in this damn place!”

After saying that, he took off his work uniform and threw it at the team leader.

The team leader was dumbfounded. This person usually acted subserviently, so what happened today?

Other online workers observed the scene with curiosity, discussing among themselves.

“Why is Liu Longlong being so stubborn…”

“Who knows? If he quits, his salary might be deducted!”

Liu Longlong felt a sense of liberation. His once clouded and numb eyes regained clarity, becoming bright and lively.

“I’ve been selected…”

“The moon, a fresh start, a completely new frontier, a place where hard work pays off…”

In his view, Yuean City had enormous potential. Every industry lacked talent, and most importantly, they lacked management. Being among the first to enter, as long as he worked hard, there would always be opportunities for advancement.

Unlike on this Earth, where a petty team leader in a factory managed a handful of people, and promotion required ten years of experience.

There were many individuals who weren’t satisfied with their current situation on Earth and wanted to take a chance on the Moon.

In just three days, the number of applications to immigrate to the moon exceeded ten million.

The authorities in Xiadu was continuously reviewing applications and selecting suitable candidates according to a ratio of six women to four men.

Five days later, the electromagnetic disruption on Earth ended, and the global wireless network was restored.

“Finally, we can use our phones to go online…”

“I was so bored during the days without the internet, didn’t know what to do at work…”

“In the days without a network, I realized that my phone is my second life.

Now, I’m fully revived…”

“Hello, I’m chatting with you using my phone…”

While internet users rejoiced, the authorities in Xiadu were quite worried.

“Will Zhao Yu come?”

“I don’t know. Now that the wireless signal is restored, will he force us to connect to the Skynet?!”

“Even if he comes, we’re not afraid. We have eight contingency plans. We should be able to get through it…”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu hadn’t returned to Earth for several days. It was as if he had forgotten about the Skynet system.

This inflicted another blow on the well-prepared Earth Federation.

Although the chips from Zhao Yu’s transaction hadn’t spread throughout the entire network, those who purchased the projection touch watches were amazed by the excellent signal. Even in desolate areas, the signal remained strong.

Moon Base.

“Commander, the first defense line is complete…”

“Mercury mining base is complete…”

Uncle Da reported the changes in the base during this period.

Zhao Yu nodded and finally asked about the resources required for the second defense line.

“The second defense line has a broader range and requires 88 billion resources…”

Uncle Da shook his head and said, “At the current mining rate, it won’t be possible to complete the second defense line before the arrival of the extraterrestrial fleet…”

“In that case, don’t build it. Starting now, use half of the resources collected for the production of various warships, and store the remaining half for backup…”

Hundreds and thousands of production lines for various warships and combat robots had been expanded, allowing for a massive burst of production when needed.

Approaching the time when the extraterrestrial fleet would arrive, Zhao Yu no longer had the inclination to focus on Earth. He devoted all his energy to preparing for battle, spending most of his days simulating space battles with Uncle Da and others.

Besides that, Zhao Yu continuously studied various military texts. Although it was a last-minute effort, it still provided some usefulness.

Three days before the system’s warning of the extraterrestrial fleet’s arrival, Earth received news.

“A million people prepared to immigrate to the moon have been gathered and can be transported at any time…”

Upon receiving the news, Zhao Yu personally went to Earth, using dozens of transport ships to take all one million people at once.

In just 40 minutes, he and the million people arrived at Yuean City.

“This is Moon Base?”

“It’s so futuristic! That spaceport is even bigger than those in sci-fi movies.”

“How magnificent!”

“Oh my, when did we humans build such a big base on the Moon?!”

The Earth Federation was well-prepared for the resettlement of immigrants, so Zhao Yu didn’t need to worry too much.

It had been six years since Zhao Yu traveled to the moon on December 21, 2028.

Finally, the time indicated by the system for the arrival of the extraterrestrial fleet had come.

(Volume 1 complete.)

Summary at the end of the volume:

When I started writing this book, I outlined and planned around a hundred chapters for the first volume. However, I only managed to write about one-third of it before encountering Kel’s supervision, which struck me down like a sword. I couldn’t continue writing the rest of the content.

Helpless, I had to find a new way forward, stepping on landmines and continuously being struck by Kel’s criticism. Sometimes, he could strike me three times in a day. He would come at me before I have even recovered from his previous criticism.

Just as I finished a plotline, the previous one was cut down, so I had to make revisions to ensure the basic logic remained intact. Writing became exhausting and draining.

What’s more, I once wrote down my own criticism of Kel, but it was all deleted. I was very worried that the universe I created would be destroyed.

Fortunately, the first volume has finally come to an end. Although the ending is completely different from what I initially envisioned, I no longer have to worry about being relentlessly pursued by Kel.

In the second volume, I will mainly focus on the extraterrestrial fleet. Kel probably won’t be able to interfere with me anymore, so I can write with peace of mind.

I thank all the readers for their support.

I wish all the readers present good health, success in all their endeavors, and abundant prosperity..
