Chapter 458 Extra - Lunar Terraforming Project Three
【Ahhh, it's not me, it's not me, it's not me.........】
[Upstairs, you're blocking my eyes! And I'm not even mentioned! Waaaaah, why am I not here?!]
[I'm so sad! I rubbed my hands together so many times, but I still didn't get a chance. Waaaaah... I'm so sad! Hey bro, can we have another round?]
[Yes, yes, let's do it again! (Throws a tantrum)]
Those who didn't win the prize were constantly wailing, and the screen was filled with crying emojis.
The five lucky winners, however, dared not show their faces in the live stream.
After all, their ID names are too conspicuous right now. If they say anything now, they'll probably be dragged out and reprimanded.
So although they were excited, they all tacitly stayed out. At times like this, it was better to keep a low profile, otherwise being too high-profile would definitely get them beaten up.
The five people's actions were wise; if this had actually come to light, they would likely have been bombarded with criticism by the wailing netizens.
Despite the netizens' lamentations, their enthusiasm for the spaceship remained undiminished, flooding the screen with comments eager to know if there would be another chance for such a giveaway.
Seeing that the lottery had ended, and observing the lively scene in the live stream, with everyone resorting to all sorts of tantrums and shamelessness, Zheng Cheng couldn't help but chuckle and soothe them:
"Alright everyone, don't be discouraged. There will be more in the future. We'll be holding a lucky draw from time to time, so please stay tuned!"
Hearing Zheng Cheng's words, netizens calmed down a bit.
As long as there's still a chance, that's fine. Even if I didn't get it this time, maybe I'll get it next time! I'm so excited!!!
Gu Xinyan and the others also saw the excitement in the live stream room and couldn't help but sigh that it was fortunate they didn't need to participate in the lottery and could even choose two prizes each, which was really great.
This good mood lasted for a long time, and even Commander Zhang, who was talking to the academician, could feel it and couldn't help but smile and ask:
"Happy? Looks like you've chosen your favorite spaceship model!"
Hahaha, alright, now that you've all made your choices, and it's almost time, come with me.
"This time, we're not using this spaceship; it's our own Xialong-1!"
Upon hearing Commander Zhang's words, Gu Xinyan and the others immediately became interested and followed him with curious expressions.
Even the live stream room, which was just a moment ago, has quieted down now, with everyone looking on with anticipation as they wait to see the 'Xialong No. 1' spaceship.
Following behind Commander Zhang, we walked towards a small door on the side. After passing through the small door, we entered another very large room.
Inside the room were two spaceships. Although they weren't as big as the golden spaceship, they looked incredibly cool.
Both spaceships were black and gold, with the same design. The only difference was the name engraved on the side of the hull: one was 'Xia Long No. 1', and the other was 'Xia Long No. 2'.
At this moment, both spaceships were emitting a cold and mysterious light.
Its sleek lines outline a futuristic shape, like a lurking beast ready to take flight at any moment.
The special material on the spaceship's surface shimmered with a metallic luster under the light, giving it an indestructible feel.
They weren't sure if it was just their imagination, but they felt as if they could see the shape of a dragon on the black and gold hull of the ship.
The creature appeared and disappeared intermittently, as if it were about to fly out of the ship, causing Gu Xinyan and the others to widen their eyes in astonishment.
But after rubbing my eyes hard a few times, the faint dragon still seemed to be there.
"Is there a dragon on it? Am I seeing things?" Zhang Junyang asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, the group nodded and shook their heads in unison, confirming that they had seen it as well. Just as they were wondering what was going on, Zheng Cheng, who was standing nearby, explained the situation to them.
"The name 'Xialong-1' comes from this; the spaceship's hull is made of a special material that allows it to be double-layered."
We engraved a golden dragon on the inner layer, and the outer layer was specially treated so that the golden dragon pattern inside can only be vaguely seen under specific light and angles. Isn't that special?
This is a unique design, and it also symbolizes the dragon totem of our Chinese civilization, representing power and hope.
And look, doesn't this spaceship resemble a giant dragon about to take flight, carrying our dreams and hopes towards the vast universe?
Zheng Cheng smiled as he explained to the group and the viewers in the live stream, his eyes sparkling with pride and anticipation for the Xialong.
The design of this exterior was finalized after a long discussion, and it turned out to be a success. Just look at its domineering presence; it's impossible to look away.
Gu Xinyan and the others: "........."
Viewers in the live stream: [...]
Cool! So cool! Whether it was the netizens in the live broadcast room or Gu Xinyan and her group, they were all completely engrossed in listening, their eyes fixed on the two Xialong ships.
It was as if one could truly see giant dragons winding and coiling on the ship's hull, ready to soar into the sky at any moment.
This left them almost speechless, only able to silently experience the awe-inspiring power of the two Xialong ships.
His mind kept conjuring up scenes of their conquest of the vast universe, and the more he imagined them, the more excited he became, wishing he could set off right now.
"Isn't our Xialong cool? Hahahaha, alright, stop staring, you should all get on the spaceship. This is Han Yuan, the leader of this team, Captain Han!"
"Get to know each other. Once we're on the moon, follow his orders completely! No acting on your own, understand?"
Seeing the group staring blankly at Xia Longhao, Commander Zhang broke the silence with a smile.
Actually, he came to see it as soon as the Xialong was built, and when he saw it, he was just as stunned as these little kids.
However, it's almost time, and we can't let them dawdle any longer.
Commander Zhang's voice did indeed pull the group back to reality, and they reluctantly shifted their gaze from the spaceship to Captain Han Yuan.
He was a middle-aged man in military uniform. After the group greeted each other, they followed Captain Han onto the "Xialong No. 1". Of course, the live broadcast device followed along as well.
"Everyone, please find your seats first. You can move around freely after takeoff!"
Before everyone could even take a good look at 'Xialong No. 1', they heard Captain Han telling them to find their seats, indicating that they were preparing for takeoff.
