Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 489 Building a Moon Palace
Leaving the space station, Gu Zhao continued to accelerate.

His actions were no secret; several satellites in the surrounding orbit adjusted their angles, pointing their radars and high-definition cameras at him.

Gu Zhao didn't care. He first moved away from the Tiangong space station to avoid disturbing the space and affecting it.

Then, accelerate!
There are still atmospheric particles at this distance, but they are already very thin. Gu Zhao no longer cared, and with a leap, he transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the moon.

"Mach 30...Mach 40...Mach 50..."

"It has already exceeded the third cosmic velocity, a speed that Voyager 1 could only achieve using a planetary gravitational slingshot, and it is still accelerating!"

"Huh? The data cut out for a split second, and his location suddenly jumped forward by a hundred kilometers, this is..."

"Transcending space? Instant teleportation?"

"Mr. Gu really knows how to surprise people. I thought that no matter how high their cultivation level was, they could only move around inside planets. I didn't expect that they could not only survive in outer space, but also reach this speed!"

"This is still due to the gravitational pull of Earth; if it were to enter outer space, its speed would likely be even faster."

"And there's also that kind of teleportation ability, isn't that the legendary shrinking the distance to an inch?"

"Tsk tsk, this isn't even human anymore, is it?"

On the Tianxia side, the Taoist office and the aerospace base were both excited and moved as they looked at the feedback from the probe satellite.

Overseas, all countries that possess detection satellites and meet the technological standards have fallen into silence and panic, and of course, anxiety.

"What does he want to do?"

Across the ocean, secret departments, politicians, and technology experts were urgently assembled to analyze why this extraordinary individual from Tianxia had suddenly broken free of Earth.

"Analysis has been completed; his target is the moon!"

"The moon? Why would he go to the moon?"

At this point, everyone had already forgotten that Gu Zhao could survive in outer space and reach the third cosmic velocity; these things that had already happened were no longer worth discussing.

The key question is, why did he suddenly decide to go to the moon?

What's on the moon?

"Are there really aliens?"

"Or is it the secret to their ability to achieve such extraordinary power?"

"We cannot fall behind; we must also land on the moon!"

"Ask NASA: What stage is the Artemis project at? How much longer are they going to delay?"

"Fifty years ago, we had the ability to send astronauts to the moon. Now, after fifty years of rapid technological development, why can't we do it anymore?"

"Luckily, he flew to the moon, and the general public knew nothing about it, otherwise how could I explain it to the public?"

……

While the people of Earth were experiencing excitement, sighs, anger, or panic, Gu Zhao had already arrived on the moon.

Desolate, silent, cold, and gloomy.

Huge impact craters and basins, boundless lunar maria, lunar canyons stretching for hundreds of kilometers, and vastly different highlands and lowlands.

Gu Zhao stomped his foot, raising a cloud of fine soil. Beneath the lunar soil lay dense lunar rock.

Of course, Gu Zhao couldn't tell whether it was igneous rock, breccia, or plagioclase.
"Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir; her heart aches for the blue sea and sky every night."

Gu Zhao looked around. There was no Chang'e or Guanghan Palace on the moon of Blue Star, but it was indeed a desolate place.

but……

Gu Zhao sensed the Five Thunder Token in his sea of ​​consciousness and the powerful Daoist Qi within his body. "Whether Chang'e truly exists in this world is really uncertain."

Thinking about this, Gu Zhao felt that he should do something.

So he reached out and patted the gourd, from which he took out an alloy seven-star sword.

He leaped into the air, swung his sword, and cleaved out a large chunk of moon rock.

Thanks to his experience supervising the construction of the Daluo Palace for most of the time, and as the saying goes, "If you read three hundred Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you can't compose them," he now has a 70% confidence and 30% experience in how to build a classical building.

Upon reaching a flat area on a high mountain, they first dug out a foundation, then chopped the moon rock they had brought into identical bricks and tiles, setting them aside for later use.

Then, they took out the sandalwood that was originally intended for their own factory from the gourd and trimmed it into beams, pillars, and brackets for the palace.

Then, construction began!
Embed the pillars, lay the floor tiles, build the steps, and erect the roof beams.

Then they opened doors, made windows, stacked walls, and laid tiles.

In just over an hour, a simple yet grand palace was completed.

Gu Zhao then picked up a rock about two people high from the side, pointed his longsword and flashed it. Rock fragments fell down, revealing a statue of Chang'e riding on clouds to the moon, with the Jade Rabbit in her arms.

Her face was beautiful, and her jade belt fluttered in the wind.

He placed the statue on the altar in the main hall, then left the hall. He used the remaining sandalwood to make a plaque, took out a brush and gold ink, and wrote the three large characters "Guanghan Palace".

With a wave of his hand, Gu Zhao placed the plaque under the eaves of the palace's main gate, took out his phone, and snapped a photo. "Done!"

Whether or not Chang'e, the Moon Goddess, the Jade Rabbit, and the Guanghan Palace exist in the world, since we've already arrived on the moon, building a palace is always a good idea.

Isn’t it strange that there are so many people?

Gu Zhao switched his phone back to the lunar soil list. "Time to get down to business."

His main goal in coming up here was to collect lunar soil and rocks to create a lunar geological landscape in China.

Without hesitation, Gu Zhao went to various parts of the moon to collect lunar soil and rocks according to the requirements on the list. In addition to those on the surface, he dug down 100 meters and collected some of each, classifying and collecting them.

"Even if they manage to come up, they can probably only shoot down about a hundred meters, right?"

Gu Zhao circled the moon, from the lunar surface to the far side, from the North Pole to the South Pole. Fortunately, he was fast enough; otherwise, he might not have been able to collect all the lunar rocks needed from more than a hundred locations in a single day.

……

After attaching a sticky note to the last two-person-high lunar rock, Gu Zhao considered his trip to the moon complete.

Take out your phone and check the time.

"That's good, we can still make it back for dinner."

Gu Zhao put the last piece of lunar rock back into the gourd, then leaped out of the lunar atmosphere and headed straight for Blue Star.

Before long, having already learned of Gu Zhao's purpose, and with their detection radar pointed at the Tiangong space station on the moon, they spotted Gu Zhao flying back immediately.

"came back?"

"came back!"

Ye Yunfu was looking at the radar, while Jing Chengpeng and Wang Qingping were peering out the porthole, where they saw a streak of light take off from the moon and fly toward Earth at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye.

The closer Gu Zhao got to Blue Star, the slower he became. As he passed the Tiangong Space Station, he waved to them, which made the two of them wave back excitedly.

The next moment, Gu Zhao flew into the atmosphere of Blue Star, leaving a long trail as he headed straight for Yandu.
