One month later.
Jiangcheng Military Airport.
The morning sky was bright and sunny. Ye Chen stood in the cockpit of Mousse One, watching the busy assembly scene outside through the porthole.
Teams of young people in dark blue uniforms and engineers in white uniforms boarded five spaceships one after another. Their faces were filled with enthusiasm and pride, clearly showing their great anticipation for this lunar journey.
Meanwhile, a dense array of transport vehicles loaded massive amounts of supplies onto the spacecraft.
Most of these supplies consisted of finished products from the lunar base already built on Earth, as well as daily necessities and various exploration tools for the more than one thousand people.
This shipment of supplies to space is the largest since the Tiangong Kaiwu Project began, enough to sustain these people for a month on the moon.
Moreover, once the lunar base is completed, it will be able to achieve self-sufficiency in production and become a permanent base.
Below the spaceship, Sun Zhibing, a security guard from the Mousse Group, was also among the assembled team, his heart filled with joy and pride.
He had been training hard at the training base for a month, all for this moment.
Since being selected for training, he has been training hard, working from morning till night every day, and doing his best to improve both his physical and mental abilities.
He kept falling and getting up, his training clothes soaked with sweat, but he never backed down. He knew that only through continuous effort and struggle could he have the opportunity to become a member of the team that went to the moon.
Yesterday, when Sun Zhibing learned that he had passed the training test, he was so excited that he could hardly sleep.
Early in the morning, he arrived here with the team. After receiving a full set of equipment at the drop-off point, he was brought here.
At this moment, Sun Zhibing stood in the group, his eyes fixed on the five enormous spaceships on the open ground with fervent anticipation. His heart was filled with expectation and excitement, and he couldn't wait to fly up to them.
As the group moved, he finally boarded the spaceship.
The moment he stepped into the spaceship, he was immediately awestruck by the sight inside.
The interior design of the spaceship is full of technology and futuristic feel, and every detail is amazing.
Following the prompts on the screen on his arm, he quickly found his location: a space chair resembling a massage chair on Earth, which could be used for sitting or lying down.
There is also a sizable storage compartment under the seat, which is very convenient for storing personal luggage.
This space seat was designed and manufactured by a company involved in the Tiangong Kaiwu project, and is primarily intended for short-term space travel.
Such designs are found throughout spacecraft, and most of them were completed by other companies.
These designs not only take comfort and practicality into account, but also incorporate technological elements, enabling people to live and work comfortably in space.
Sun Zhibing sat in his space chair, his heart filled with anticipation and excitement, but also with nervousness.
However, the varying pressure of the massage from the seat and the release of negative ions quickly dispelled his tension.
This is also one of the functions of this seat: to monitor the physical condition of the person sitting in it and then take corresponding measures to alleviate the symptoms.
In less than half a day, this massive fleet was ready and set sail.
"Commander-in-Chief, the five spaceships have assembled. Please give further instructions."
Wang Yuxi came in and reported that she was serving as Ye Chen's adjutant, responsible for assisting Ye Chen in managing the fleet, especially the troops directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In this fleet, Ye Chen is the commander-in-chief, and each of the ships below him has its own captain. In formal occasions, Wang Yuxi also addresses him as the commander-in-chief.
The dark blue uniform she wore accentuated Wang Yuxi's already excellent figure.
Ye Chen's gaze instinctively swept over the shapely figure faintly visible beneath the uniform, finally settling on that pretty face.
After a moment of stunned silence, Ye Chen whistled inwardly.
"The allure of uniforms is irresistible!"
Perhaps sensing something unusual in Ye Chen's gaze, Wang Yuxi blushed slightly, stood up even straighter, and continued, "Commander-in-Chief, it's almost time. Please give your instructions."
"Alright, notify the fleet, set sail!"
Ye Chen nodded, then instructed, "After orbiting Blue Star in near-Earth orbit, head to the Moon!"
"Yes, Commander!"
......
While Ye Chen was flying around Blue Star with five spaceships, satellites and ground monitoring stations from various countries on Earth observed it.
This unprecedented space fleet quickly caused a global sensation.
Leaders from various countries called the Chinese government to inquire about the purpose and intentions of the fleet.
Some countries even summoned their diplomatic ambassadors to lodge protests and lodge negotiations.
The top leader was also closely monitoring all of this. He was well aware that this move would have a significant impact on the future of China and even the world.
When Ye Chen came to discuss it with him, he decided to stop hiding the fleet's whereabouts and let some ambitious people see China's space power to intimidate them!
"Sir, as of ten minutes ago, a total of thirty-five countries and international organizations have sent inquiries through diplomatic channels, most of which are Western countries."
"In addition, there are three other inquiries from their heads of state through the chief's hotline, namely the United States, Russia, and Gaul."
The top leader's secretary, holding a document, was reporting on the impact of Ye Chen's fleet.
"For inquiries made through diplomatic channels, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can simply provide a response as usual."
The top leader smiled slightly and replied nonchalantly.
Then, his smile faded slightly, and he continued, "As for the three heads of state, I will personally speak with them at the appointed time."
He orchestrated this deterrent operation to get these key countries to contact him.
They took the initiative to make contact, so the initiative is now on China's side!
That afternoon, when facing reporters from various countries, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded as always, with the spokesperson stating firmly: "This operation was solely the action of the Mousse Group, an independent action by the company, aimed at mining space resources, and had no intention of targeting any other country. Please do not overinterpret it."
Of course, these countries don't believe a single punctuation mark in the statement made by the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
We're all seasoned foxes; who doesn't know the tricks of the trade?
However, no matter how much they pressed for answers, China only gave this one response.
With such a massive fleet hovering overhead, a sudden attack could easily reach their homeland.
Unable to get answers from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, these countries, in addition to continuing their protests, also used various means to monitor the movements of Ye Chen's fleet in real time.
