As Yuan Yi walked out of the command post, the first thing that appeared before everyone was the boundless starry sky.
In the boundless starry sky, the darkness alone evokes a profound sense of insignificance.
Sparse stars, like shattered silver foil, are scattered on the boundless, dark velvet curtain, as distant as fireflies that have never changed since time immemorial.
Standing on the moon and looking outwards, the deep darkness appears even more oppressive, like a giant magnet that draws one's gaze and thoughts into the unfathomable void.
The wind swept across the empty plains, carrying the damp chill of the night dew. As it brushed against my cheek, I could almost hear the stardust whispering in my ear, telling tales of eons of loneliness.
The distant horizon was blurred, and only a faint gray shadow remained where the sky met the earth, making the starry sky appear even more vast and desolate.
Occasionally, a shooting star streaks across the night sky, leaving a fleeting trail of light, like a short sigh in the darkness. Before anyone can catch a glimpse of it, it vanishes without a trace, leaving only a deeper emptiness.
At this moment, even my breath was tinged with a chill, as if the whole world was enveloped in this boundless darkness, and I was nothing more than an insignificant speck of dust in the universe, having briefly gazed upon this eternal starry sky in the long river of time.
Just as everyone was marveling at the beauty of the starry sky, the camera suddenly switched to the base.
On the silvery-gray lunar soil, a massive steel base stands out abruptly, its cold, metallic sheen gleaming under the blue star's light.
Countless thick alloy pillars are driven deep into the lunar rock, supporting the dome structure that stretches for several kilometers. Beneath the dome, one can vaguely see crisscrossing pipes and a cluster of silvery-white buildings.
Outside the base, a ring-shaped energy shield generator emitted a pale white halo, enveloping the entire base and protecting it from the harsh cosmic rays and tiny meteorites on the lunar surface.
Several spaceships were taking off and landing in the starport in the air, and then disappeared into the shadow of the crater.
In the center of the base, a towering light rhombus particle signal tower pierces the sky, its signal lights flashing regularly, as if announcing to the universe the existence of human civilization in this desolate land.
The entire base resembled a colossal metal beast lurking on the moon, silent and majestic, radiating an awe-inspiring technological power.
Standing inside the base, gazing at this modern marvel rising from the silent moon, one cannot help but be awestruck by its grandeur and amazed that our motherland could build such a massive steel base on the moon.
Although they knew that this kind of thing was probably bound to happen sooner or later.
After all, when they find out that our mom has a spaceship, they will definitely set foot in the stars.
But they still didn't realize how much time had passed.
Our mother will build such a huge base on the moon.
Looking at the spaceships taking off and landing in the spaceport, each enormous figure could carry countless supplies.
These transport ships all took off directly from the Pacific Ocean and then went directly to the moon.
Yes, just as you think.
These transport ships carry all sorts of ores mined from another world.
It is also one of the main materials that our mother is currently using to build warships.
As Yuan Yi introduced himself, he glanced at his popularity score panel.
In just over an hour, the popularity value has increased to 15 trillion.
This made Yuan Yi even more excited.
"As you may have noticed, you can breathe freely in this kind of base without carrying any oxygen equipment."
"Yes, it's because the original text of the shield is directly equivalent to the ozone layer of our Earth."
"It can retain oxygen even after isolating some harmful substances, just like our flight suits."
"It's just that this number is quite large, enough to cover the entire base."
"Of course, the most important thing is our super oxygen generator."
"Once this machine is running at full capacity, it can meet the daily needs of the base!"
In every corner of the planet Earth, countless eyes are fixed on the virtual screen in the sky above.
On the street, the toy spaceship in the little boy's hand fell to the ground with a "thud." He forgot to cry and just stared wide-eyed at the huge figure floating on the moon's surface on the screen.
The once noisy crowd in the square suddenly fell silent, the light from the floating advertisements reflecting on their blank faces.
In the speeding car, the office worker suddenly sat up straight, unaware that the nutritional paste in his hand had slipped onto his trouser leg.
As Yuan Yi's finger swept across the virtual star map, and the metal complex surrounded by craters on the far side of the moon slowly rotated, the entire world seemed to hold its breath in unison.
Inside the observatory, an elderly professor with white hair trembled as he took off his reading glasses. His young assistant spilled his coffee, the brown liquid spreading across the star chart tablecloth, much like the energy veins that stretched across the lunar maria on the screen.
“That… isn’t a meteorite crater…” someone murmured in the silence, as if in a dream.
These words, like a pebble thrown into a lake, instantly stirred up a tidal wave in the hearts of billions of people.
The data flow of the city's optical network experienced a subtle delay, and countless terminals were simultaneously frozen on the three-dimensional model of the moon. The silver disk that humans have looked up to for millions of years is now slowly unveiling its rusty veil.
The air in Times Square, New York, seemed to freeze for three seconds before exploding into a deafening roar.
On the virtual screen in the sky, Yuan Yi was still giving a long and detailed explanation, while the crowd was already boiling over like a bonfire.
