On the morning of November 14, many people couldn't help but check the official website of Galaxy Technology Co., Ltd. to learn about the Shenzhou spacecraft when they got up early for work.

Major media outlets around the world are also following and reporting on this at this moment.

The viewership ratings of major TV stations and live streaming platforms have also surged.

The closer it gets to the moon landing, the more global attention it attracts.

Around 9 a.m., Zhao Ye, Chu Peng, and their group arrived at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Everyone watched the monitor screen with tense and solemn expressions.

"The Shenzhou starship is operating normally. It has shut down its engines and begun deceleration. It is estimated to arrive at the lunar surface in one hour, twelve minutes, and fifty-eight seconds!"

The voices of staff members could be heard continuously in the lobby.

"The Shenzhou spacecraft is half an hour away from reaching the lunar surface!"

As the time drew closer, everyone grew increasingly tense, fearing that the Shenzhou starship might malfunction, leading to an accident during landing and resulting in the destruction of the spacecraft and the loss of life.

Soon, the Shenzhou starship had lowered its landing gear and was about to land. Everyone held their breath, their hearts in their throats, their eyes glued to the monitor screen.

At this moment, more than 2 billion people around the world are watching this live broadcast.

"May God bless the Shenzhou Starship spacecraft to successfully land on the moon!!!" On the Chinese internet, countless netizens clasped their hands together and prayed sincerely.

"We have to succeed!!!"

Many people abroad, however, do not want to see China successfully land on the moon, nor do they want to see China become so powerful. They have been hurling curses at China, especially American netizens, who are on the verge of a mental breakdown...

The United States was originally the only country in the world to have a manned lunar landing, a source of immense pride for countless Americans. But now, China is also set to have a manned lunar landing.

The United States is no longer unique, nor is it great.

In particular, China's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, attracting worldwide attention, while the United States' economy has been sluggish and in serious decline, with tens of millions of people unemployed and living in dire straits.

"The Chinese have taken away our factories and our jobs! I curse the Shenzhou Starship to fail in its landing and to be destroyed! We Americans are the true space superpowers. We landed on the moon with our own people back in 1969, while China only launched its manned lunar spacecraft in November 2011. They're utter garbage! What right do they have to compare themselves to us, the United States!"

The Japanese are also unhappy. Many are still immersed in the daydreams of their past invasion of China, with an arrogant and fanatical mentality. They are terrified of China's rise, but can only bark helplessly online, as if only in this way can they find a little comfort in their hearts.

"Baka yarou! The Chinese spaceship is about to land on the moon! Even our Great Japanese Empire can't do that! This is impossible!!! You, die, die, spaceship crash worker!!!"

Good grief, all they can do is rant and rave online, indulging in verbal sparring. If they wanted to fight, but lacked the strength, they would definitely cry for their parents and call on their American daddy for help.

The South Koreans were even more unhappy at this point.

South Korea is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, but for a long time, many South Koreans have held a very arrogant and hostile attitude towards China. However, as China has reformed and opened up and its national strength has gradually surpassed that of South Korea, this has triggered panic among the South Korean people. They have become like ostriches, unable to face reality, unwilling to acknowledge China's strength, and still yearn for the era when South Korea was one of the Four Asian Tigers.

Even in terms of culture, they lack confidence and act like robbers, appropriating Chinese culture for themselves.

"Damn it, the Chinese lunar spacecraft is going to explode!!"

"We, South Korea, are the number one superpower in the universe, and we, South Korea, will definitely conquer space!"

...

The Shenzhou starship has disappointed many foreigners.

It landed successfully on the lunar surface, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the four Chinese astronauts made contact with the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China.

"Reporting to the commander! The Shenzhou Starship successfully landed on the lunar surface at 9:12:22 AM on November 11, 2011. All equipment is functioning normally, and there were no injuries! Report complete!" Astronaut Zhou Qingshan said excitedly to the camera.

The moment he finished speaking, the whole world was in an uproar!

Across the land of China, 1.4 billion people were moved to tears.

Countless people embraced each other, cheering and jumping for joy.

Fireworks were set off all over the city, sending colorful ribbons flying everywhere.

Several CCTV hosts, who were broadcasting live, were overcome with emotion and their voices choked with sobs.

Jiuquan Base.

Zhao Ye waved his hand vigorously, extremely excited.

"Yes!!! That's fantastic! We finally did it!!!"

"The Chinese nation has realized its millennia-old dream of reaching the moon!!!"

*Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!*

At this moment, enthusiastic applause erupted in the hall. Everyone was so excited that they clapped with all their might.

The applause lasted for ten minutes before it stopped.

"Reporting to the commander, we are ready to exit the cabin. Please give us your instructions!" Zhou Qingshan shouted.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye nodded to the camera and said in a deep voice, "10-second countdown, prepare to exit the cabin!!!"

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, Open the hatch!!!!"

At Zhao Ye's command, the hatch of the Shenzhou starship slowly opened, and a ladder extended down from the top, all the way to the lunar surface.

Immediately afterwards, four astronauts from Galaxy Technologies filed out of the hatch and then carefully climbed down the ladder.

The moment astronaut Zhou Qingshan, who was at the forefront, stepped his right foot onto the lunar surface, thunderous applause erupted in the control center hall of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Countless aerospace workers were moved to tears.

Zhao Ye was overwhelmed with emotion. What China had not been able to achieve in his previous life, he had accomplished in this one.

China achieved its dream of a manned lunar landing in 2011!!!

At this moment, Zhao Ye felt that this was the highlight of his life. Looking at the excited people around him, Zhao Ye smiled sincerely. Isn't this the meaning of life?

"That's amazing! Chinese people have set foot on the moon! It's truly astonishing and enviable!!"

"China is amazing! I seem to see a brand new era coming, and China will become the hegemon of this new era!"

"I'm so envious! China is truly amazing. I don't know if the US manned moon landing was faked, but I do know that the Chinese really did land on the moon!"

"It's simply unbelievable. More than 30 years ago, China was an extremely poor and backward country. In 1978, its GDP was only $149.514 billion, and its foreign exchange reserves were a mere $167 million. Today, China's GDP alone exceeds $30 trillion, a 200-fold increase—a growth rate that's hard to believe! Today, China has even realized its dream of landing on the moon! I really can't imagine what a great country it must be to create so many miracles!!!" A British university professor who has long studied Chinese culture was completely captivated by China…
