"Commander Wu suddenly contacted me. Is there something wrong with the Guanghan Palace Moon Base?"

"That's not true."

Wu Chuping, who was in the holographic projection state, explained: "Actually, the reason for interrupting this time is because the lunar base is about to be officially completed, and I want to invite Academician Xu to attend the celebration."

"At that time, we will broadcast the live broadcast from the Guanghan Palace Moon Base."

"besides."

"The first batch of lunar resources will also be mined and transported to the ground via space elevators."

After hearing what Wu Chuping said, Xu Lei suddenly understood.

It turned out that the other party was looking for something good for me.

Not asking for help.

But it makes sense if you think about it, the space elevator is already a very mature technology.

In addition, future technology provides such things as life capsules.

It is enough to ensure the survival of astronauts on the moon in the early stage.

With such prerequisites, it is not difficult to complete the construction of the lunar base.

After Xu Lei learned that the lunar base project was on track, the space agency implemented the near-lunar spaceport plan, making the transportation of astronauts and materials more efficient and convenient.

The next step will even be to build a Mars base and arrange solar system monitoring stations on it to ensure that dangers can be detected in time and the safety of the earth and planets can be ensured.

But the completion of the Guanghan Palace lunar base in just over a year still surprised Xu Lei.

Faster than he imagined.

Xu Lei was not too interested in Wu Chuping's invitation.

Now is a critical time. It won't be long before the Science and Technology Museum will unlock new exhibits, and there may even be unknown special changes.

Now he just wants to wait for his influence to reach tens of millions.

I'm really not in the mood to participate in any activities.

Not to mention having to run to Dentian Island.

Since the space agency wants to follow his previous approach and set up a live broadcast to share the joy at this important moment, then watching the live broadcast will be regarded as participating. The key thing can be done sitting at home.

Thinking quickly, Xu Lei directly expressed his thoughts to Wu Chuping.

"Commander Wu."

"Congratulations on successfully completing the construction of the Guanghan Palace lunar base."

"Becoming the first lunar base in history."

"I will watch the live broadcast on time, but there is no need to attend the event."

Seeing that he was rejected like this, Wu Chuping not only showed no sign of anger, but showed gratitude all over his face, and then said seriously: "I think Academician Xu did this because he didn't want future technology to occupy too much attention from the outside world.

So ignore our space agency."

"You can rest assured about this. After all, we are all contributing to the development of the country."

Regarding Wu Chuping's thought of this aspect, Xu Lei felt dumbfounded and really didn't know what to say.

In the end, after a slight hesitation, he decided to stick to what he had just done.

"Commander Wu, I understand what you mean, but there are special circumstances in the company that require me to personally take charge of, so there is definitely no way to go to Dentian Island."

Having said that, Wu Chuping naturally knew that he could not convince Xu Lei.

So I no longer waste too much time.

But in the end he still expressed his regrets.

"That's such a pity. I will definitely come and invite you in person next time."

"Definitely next time."

After Xu Lei responded to Wu Chuping with a smile, the video call ended.

Xu Lei then turned his attention to Xingtong and specifically told him: "Remember to remind me when the space agency's lunar base live broadcast event starts."

"Okay boss." Xing Tong nodded in response.

——

Since the two live broadcasts of the space elevator and the moon landing mission proposed by Xu Lei ended, the situation at the Guanghan Palace lunar base has almost become a state of lockdown. Apart from the occasional official release of a few photos, there are no other additional information channels.

Come pay attention.

This makes the outside world unclear about the details of the lunar base.

In addition, the recent popularity of virtual helmets and neuroprosthetics has been so high that they have successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Even more so, no one cares about the base.

I can't remember it in a short time.

So when the space agency issued an announcement, it stated that a new live broadcast event would be held to give everyone a clearer understanding of the Guanghan Palace lunar base.

As soon as the news came out.

It immediately triggered a new hot topic discussion.

Although the total number of views on the entire network is still not comparable to that of the virtual world, it still ranks in second place, dozens of times ahead of the third place.

Many people expressed their expectations for this live broadcast.

"Are we going to broadcast live from our lunar base again? There is no news during this period and I almost forgot that there are many astronauts living on the moon."

"Thanks for this announcement reminding me that there are astronauts on the moon."

"Speaking of how the construction of the Guanghan Palace lunar base is going, the people in the space agency are still not as good as Mr. Xu. It has been a year and there is still no new information announced."

"Suddenly there is a live broadcast. Is there any big progress? Looking forward to it!"

"You must have discovered Chang'e, right?"

"I just want to know when the space elevator will be commercially available. I really want to experience the feeling of entering the space station and the moon base."

"Some people can feel dizzy even if they sit in a car. I think it's better not to think about taking the space elevator. Why bother to make yourself suffer?"

"It's a pity that Mr. Xu has to be in charge of the virtual world and cannot serve as the commander-in-chief of the lunar base. Otherwise, I'm afraid the construction progress of the base will definitely be faster than it is now."

…

Three days later.

Sunday, December 26, 2027.

It is no exaggeration to say that today is the day with the smallest number of people online since the opening of the virtual world.

Because the space agency launched live broadcast on the moon again after a year.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Binjiang City.

Longhu High-tech Park.

Xu Lei had just finished breakfast and came to the office when Xingtong's reminder suddenly sounded in his ears: "Boss, the live broadcast room of Guanghan Palace Moon Base has been opened. Do you want to connect it?"

"Has it started yet?"

Hearing this, Xu Lei was startled for a moment, then sat on the sofa and whispered: "Open the live broadcast room."

He had previously rejected Wu Chuping's invitation and did not go to Dentian Island in person to participate in the celebration of the completion of the lunar base. However, after all, this lunar base involved future technology, and he also wanted to see what the overall situation of the base was like.

of.

What's more, he has promised Wu Chuping to watch the live broadcast.

Following the instruction, Xingtong naturally did not hesitate and immediately projected a holographic virtual light curtain from his eyes.

What is shown above is the live broadcast of the lunar base.

Look around.

You can find that the name of the live broadcast room is called Guanghan Palace Moon Base Live Broadcast Room.

What surprised him was that the astronaut in the picture who was introducing the situation to the audience was no stranger.

It was Ye Junmin.

After the successful operation of the space elevator, Ye Junmin was selected to participate in the moon landing mission as a newcomer on his first space mission. In addition, the live broadcast was from his perspective as a third-person live broadcast, so Xu Lei still had some impression of him.

It seems that he has been staying on the moon during this period and participating in the construction of the base.

"Hello, viewers in the live broadcast room, I am astronaut Ye Junmin, and today I will lead you to visit the Guanghan Palace lunar base."

Inside the lunar base.

Ye Junmin, who was still slightly shy, greeted the camera.

And put on a warm smile.
