Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

"Hahaha, it's true, there's absolutely no mistake!"

Although I know that China has always been a country that keeps its word in the field of scientific research.

However, the news was so shocking that many people instinctively felt it must be fake.

Duan Rui had thought so before.

It wasn't until he arrived at the South China Sea island and saw the bustling construction site that he became completely convinced.

This time, it's for real—a moon landing!

As more and more people came to verify the information in person, those who initially treated it as a joke were forced to take it seriously with surprise.

How could this scene be fake?

……

The launch pad construction site, which was out in the open, was so large that it couldn't be hidden from anyone.

However, the work at rocket manufacturing factories is not easy these days either.

Hu Rongyao is a technician at Factory 615. He graduated from university three years ago and is responsible for the production of engine turbopumps.

Early in the morning, he was quite surprised to see the general manager personally accompanying several soldiers wearing red armbands as they input the model into the machine tool.

What are you doing?

But soon, after the manager held a small meeting, his question was answered.

They're going to produce engines for lunar rockets!

"Chief, shall we manufacture the new rocket engines?"

Hu Rongyao asked the steward with a look of surprise and delight.

"That's right, Xiao Hu, the task is arduous, so you need to learn and observe more!"

The supervisor admired Hu Rongyao, patted him on the shoulder, and continued to assign tasks.

"The rocket's code name has been assigned, and the higher-ups are taking the first launch very seriously."

"In addition, let me tell you that the entire lunar landing mission was allocated a total of 100 billion yuan, which shows how important it was."

"Ladies and gentlemen, landing on the moon is the dream of our Chinese nation."

"If it succeeds, all of you who participated will be remembered in history."

The manager's words were very persuasive, and everyone was very excited after hearing them.

Indeed, the Chinese people have a unique affection for the moon. The moon landing was not only an exploration, but also a spiritual transformation for the Chinese people.

Why are there still so many "banana people" (people who are culturally Westernized and lack cultural refinement) and "sheepdogs" (people who are outwardly Westernized and inwardly educated) even today?

Why do many Chinese people, despite their growing awareness, still idolize Europe and America?

After a century of weakness, the nation that once knelt down has stood up physically, but it still has spiritual deficiencies.

If this moon landing is a perfect success...

This is the final step that allowed the Chinese nation to completely overcome its lack of self-confidence!

From then on, no one cared how much the sheepdog barked.

The strong will always be strong; there's no need to defend the old ways.

After entering the gates of the Ansar people, there will be people to debate the scriptures for the Chinese nation!

……

Space agency, central control room.

"All tasks have been completed very well. The data provided by the military is complete, and we are able to meet the required production precision."

A leading figure in the aerospace industry reported to Zhu Jincheng, who was in charge:

"We discussed it for a long time and decided to use the code name Storm, and this type of rocket will be named Storm-9."

"storm?"

Zhu Jincheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's good. I remember that the technology from the Storm rocket was later incorporated into the Long March series."

"That's right, it's perfect for using to distinguish them."

The aerospace industry leader nodded and analyzed, "The Storm 9 uses the YF-140 engine, a single nozzle, a rear-mounted pump, and a thrust of 600 tons."

"The entire rocket has no boosters; there are a total of twelve core stages."

"The second stage of the core uses the YF-301, with a single unit having a thrust of 90 tons, and there are four units in total."

"The rocket has a total of 16 engines, and production is expected to be completed before the 10th."

At this point, the aerospace industry bigwig gave Zhu Jincheng a resentful look and complained, "Luckily you consulted us. If you had just released the news directly, let's see how you would have handled it."

Fortunately, the 700-ton test stand was just completed.

If Zhu Chengjin had pulled this stunt a month earlier, and there was no test stand for the 600-ton engine, how would you explain that to the people of the whole country!

600 tons of thrust, if it were on those old test stands...

Seriously, you can't make bricks fly with great strength, but you can definitely make houses fly with great strength.

Chapter 14: There is a mole, the deal is terminated

The time has come to September 7th.

In the world of The Wandering Earth, Zhou Zhezhi is tied up with other matters and won't be coming over anytime soon.

All the communication work was handled by his son, Zhou Weirong, who was also the first person Fang Jing saw in this world.

Compared to his father, Zhou Weirong was also very gentle, but he spoke much less.

In the past few days, Fang Jing and I have gotten to know each other's worlds a little.

However, negotiations with the world of The Wandering Earth stalled because this universe could not provide a stable passage, and only basic communication was maintained.

Therefore, Fang Jing has been mainly engaged in various training sessions during this period.

On this day, while training with firearms, Zhou Yuan suddenly ran over excitedly and patted Fang Jing on the shoulder, saying, "The Type 23 exoskeleton has passed the verification and will soon be officially deployed."

"Officially deployed?"

Fang Jing thought of the joke that Old Zhu had specifically mentioned on the phone: an old army officer who wished he could sleep with an exoskeleton.

"I guess the guys in the army couldn't resist anymore and stayed up all night working on the progress."

"That's certainly possible. When I tested a new gun before, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at night, so I would just go out and fire a few magazines in the middle of the night."

Zhou Yuan scratched his head and agreed with Fang Jing's statement.

It's really possible.

"Hehe, but the first to be equipped will definitely be the elite Marines and Air Forces!"

Fang Jing chuckled.

"The army's elite forces will have to wait, hahaha."

"Xiao Fang, that's not necessarily true. This time, the army has gone all out and seized two production lines."

Zhou Yuan shook his head, giving him an expression that said, "You're too young."

"The reasons given are ones that the higher-ups can't refuse."

"What reason?"

Fang Jing was curious upon hearing this, wondering what reason the higher-ups couldn't refuse.

"To reduce casualties during urban warfare when retaking a certain island!"

Zhou Yuan said with a serious expression, "The Army has decided to spend a lot of money to equip all members of the Eastern Landing Force with exoskeletons, and they will be improved models."

"At that time, the landing forces will be able to advance under the active protection of tanks during urban warfare!"

"At that time, the army will have no more scruples!"

"What kind of superhuman force is this, advancing under the active defense of the projectiles!"

Fang Jing clicked his tongue in amazement upon hearing this.

Active defense of tanks.

It involves actively launching rockets to intercept anti-tank missiles aimed at the tank.

Those who have been following a certain war in the Middle East recently know this.

Why was a "Judas" tank opened by a militia group?

A: Damn, in urban warfare, there are no infantry to clear buildings. With active defense activated, people think they're safe just because they're hiding in tanks.

When active defense is activated, the metal jet will cover the entire field, making it impossible for infantry to coordinate.

Therefore, active defense and infantry coordination have always been an either-or choice.

But with exoskeletons, China chose to have it all!

Once the armor is activated, I'll clear the building under the barrage of metal jets. Who dares to disagree?
