Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Tian Hao awarded the satellite the name "Orange".

This reward made everyone extremely envious, since it was the first creation that humanity had ever sent out of the world, and it would surely be recorded in history.

They all wanted this chance to go down in history, but unfortunately, they were too stupid.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Without any pretentious refusal, Ju Zi bowed gratefully, took out her carving knife, and stepped forward to carve four delicate characters on the hardened satellite shell—"Space Orange."

She certainly wouldn't just carve her own name on it, after all, this artificial satellite was shaped by her teacher, and her teacher was its creator.

After the orange was finished being carved, Tian Hao took out a liquid he had prepared beforehand and brushed it onto the satellite's outer shell, allowing it to slowly penetrate and harden further.

After this hardening process, the hardness of this outer shell will be comparable to most special metals, and it will be able to withstand collisions with other meteorites in outer space.

Finally, Tian Hao moved the artificial satellite out of the laboratory and quietly waited for the sunrise. Everyone followed him out to wait.

When the rising sun shines on the satellite, the special material on its outer layer begins to absorb light energy, greatly reducing the brightness around it, making it seem as if it were in darkness, and difficult to spot from a distance.

This is the first layer of protection that Tian Hao created for the artificial satellite. Like a black hole, it absorbs all the surrounding light, so it cannot be detected because it does not reflect light. At the same time, the absorbed light energy will also serve as an energy source to maintain the operation of the artificial satellite.

Once the sun had fully risen, the Orange satellite had absorbed enough energy and, under Tian Hao's control, activated its internal gravity module, reducing gravity to one percent. This was the limit of gravity control; to further improve it, one would have to become a god and reach the level of laws.

After the gravity shrank, Tian Hao activated another gravity module, a gravity module that only works against the moon's gravity.

This was something he specifically researched. The moon itself exerts a huge gravitational pull on the earth, which is why those tides occur. This gravitational pull was impossible to identify and utilize in the technological world of his previous life, but he separated it out in this world.

At the same time, the moon has not yet disappeared from view, and the moonlight it casts is also attracted, becoming a further directional indicator.

Ultimately, the satellite, aided by the moon's gravity, gained a gravity exceeding that of Douluo Star, which had been reduced to one percent. It slowly rose and flew towards the moon, its speed increasing until it quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Let's go to the lab."

Tian Hao turned around and went back to the laboratory, walking to the specially made control console, where thirty-six large screens were arranged in a spherical shape, even below them, corresponding to the thirty-six ultra-high-definition cameras on the Orange satellite.

Currently, all thirty-six screens are still displaying a distorted image because the Orange spacecraft is using all the energy it absorbs to power the gravity module for ascent. The cameras haven't been activated yet; they will only be visible once it reaches outer space.

Everyone was very patient and waited quietly after entering.

The Orange satellite, which was moving at an increasingly high speed, eventually left the atmosphere of Douluo Star and broke through that barrier.

That barrier was erected by the divine realm for each planetary plane under its command to prevent the beings within from escaping and to prevent external beings from sensing it and thus descending upon it to trigger war.

However, this barrier is only effective against living organisms and has no effect on pure matter; otherwise, meteorites and similar objects would not fall.

After passing through the dimensional barrier, the preset values ​​on the gravity module's sensing device were triggered. The power of the gravity module belonging to Douluo Star gradually decreased, and the shrinking gravity gradually increased, causing the Orange Satellite flying towards the moon to slow down more and more until it finally stopped.

Once things stabilized, the absorbed energy was redirected to other modules, and the control console at the experimental base gradually began to transmit images back.

The first thing that catches the eye is the vast starry sky, which is clearer and cleaner than the starry sky seen at night.

Then there were three balls: one silvery-white like the moon, one golden-yellow like the sun, and the other blue and green.

"moon!"

Kong Deming stared intently at the silvery-white, moon-like sphere, realizing that it was the moon, and that he had finally seen the moon in its entirety.

Xu Tianzhen and Xu Jinghong, grandmother and granddaughter, looked at the huge golden fireball and knew that it was the sun, the sun that corresponded to their martial souls.

Most people, however, looked at the blue-green sphere at their feet. Was this their world?

"Our world really is a sphere."

Ju Zi looked down at the scene that appeared at her feet. When His Highness the Crown Prince told her those remarks, she didn't believe it. After all, it was too challenging to her previous beliefs and was almost subversive.

What we see now proves that the teacher's earlier judgment was correct: the world we live in is a planet, and it is round; it's just that it's too big to see.

"This is Sunset Forest, this is Starry Sky Forest, and this must be Shrek City."

Looking at the continental plates displayed on the screen, Tang Ya first identified Sunset Forest and Star Dou Great Forest, and then discovered Shrek City next to Star Dou Great Forest.

However, judging from the satellite images, Shrek City was too small. If the teacher hadn't improved and upgraded the soul tool for photography, it would have been difficult to find. Even so, it looked very blurry, and she could only make a rough judgment.

Vina was searching for the location of Tiandou City, Xu Jiujiu was searching for Xingluo City, and Jiang Nannan was searching for her hometown. Unfortunately, her hometown did not have a huge city or any special landmarks, so she could only estimate its approximate location based on her memory.

Tian Hao ignored everyone else; he was observing the moon with the primary mirror of the Orange satellite.

Although he could have reached outer space ten thousand years ago, he never went up to avoid being discovered by beings like the Asura God. The first time he went up was to fight against a spacetime storm, and he didn't have time to properly observe the moon of this world.

Overall, it looks similar to the moon in my previous life, both are cratered and stuck, clearly indicating that the star core inside must be solidified and cooled, unable to drive the moon's rotation.

This main mirror was meticulously crafted by Tian Hao, incorporating the power of the Soul Guidance System. It allows for a clearer and farther view, making everyone feel as if the moon is right in front of them. It can even be adjusted to be closer or farther, and can even clearly see a rock on the moon.

This has given many people pause for thought. If they can see the moon so clearly, they can certainly see the ground on their side as well, and thus monitor it. In that case, no country or power will have any secrets from them.

Thinking of this, some people were excited, some were worried, and so on. However, they all agreed with a previous idea that the times were about to change and the future was destined to belong to them, the Soul Masters.

"Old Kong, send a message to your Sun Moon Empire: the space elevator project will be launched in a year. We are going to build a space station."

After observing the moon for a while, Tian Hao said something to Kong Deming.

"I will personally return to the Empire shortly."

Kong Deming nodded, indicating that he would go back in person.

He had heard this person mention the space elevator project, which involved using special metals to create strong steel cables that would connect to space, and then sending various materials manufactured on the ground to outer space via these cables to build a base.

That will be their bridgehead for conquering the stars; the second step is the moon.

"I'd better go back."

Xu Jinghong suddenly spoke up. A few days ago, he had already formed the Gravity Soul Guiding Core and sealed it into his spiritual sea, which helped him break through to the ninety-ninth level. His lifespan was extended, and his body was recovering rapidly.

Moreover, due to the special nature and quantity of his soul guide cores, his strength far exceeds that of a normal Limit Douluo. Even if Long Xiaoyao and that bastard Mu En came, he would be confident that he could crush them to the ground.

It's time for me to go back and travel around the empire to keep certain people and forces in line.

Kong Deming nodded without saying anything; this person would indeed be more suitable to go back than himself.

"Teacher, why do we still need to carry out that space elevator project? Wouldn't it be better to just send the space station up there this way?"

Xu Tianzhen couldn't help but ask. She also knew about the space elevator project and used to find it quite amazing, but now that she saw how the Orange satellite was launched, she felt that this was much more efficient and cost-effective.

Is it due to limitations in materials?

Vina pondered for a moment, thinking that there must be a limitation in the materials. It must have been very difficult for the teacher to make a soul guide core that could act on the moon's gravity.

"The material for the Moon Gravity Soul Guidance Core is very special. It requires flawless, top-grade moonstone to manufacture. I only have two pieces at the moment, and they are not very large. It's already the limit to lift that satellite into the sky."

Nodding, Tian Hao acknowledged that he indeed could not easily create a lunar gravity-guided core, mainly due to the issue of materials.

Only the finest moonstone can be used to create a gravity core that responds only to the moon's gravity; no other material can do it.

Therefore, if we want to build a space station, we still need to rely on the space elevator project.

"But how do we get the first steel cable up there?"

After a long silence, she expressed a question: she still couldn't figure out how to take the first step in the space elevator project.

The teacher also said that the lunar gravity soul guide core, which is made of top-grade moonstone, does not bear much weight. In fact, the original Orange satellite itself was not very heavy, weighing less than 100 pounds. After being reduced in size by the gravity core, it weighs only one pound.

Even so, the initial ascent speed was not fast, which shows that the power that the lunar gravity soul guide core could generate was really not that great.

So how were they going to send the first steel cable up?

If the first cable cannot be sent up, the other cables will also be unable to follow.

"Use it!"

Tian Hao pointed to a meteorite in the picture, a meteorite that was rotating around Douluo Star, which can be considered a kind of space debris.

However, this meteorite was large enough, estimated to be a kilometer in diameter, and its rotation with Douluo Star generated enough centrifugal force, which is why it was not pulled down by the gravity of Douluo Star.

Afterwards, all that's needed is to build a super-large gravity core on it and manipulate the gravity, or gravitational pull, that meteorite will bear, and a space station can be built on that foundation.

"But that's not enough."

Looking at the meteorite on the screen, Tang Ya still couldn't figure out how to use it to send the first steel cable up.

It's important to know that outer space is very far from the ground, and even the thinnest rope would be incredibly heavy over such a long distance.

"I'll go up with you on the next satellite launch and lower the cable from above."

Expressing your thoughts is a clever way to cut corners; you can basically skip the rocket thing.

Once he understands the spatial rules above, he might even be able to directly create a spatial portal.

"No, that's too risky."

Ahri, who had remained silent, rejected the idea. They didn't know what the environment in outer space was like, and even if they had these images, it wouldn't be enough. What if something happened to their master if he went up first?

The others disagreed as well; this person was the future of the Soul Master, and there could be no mistakes whatsoever.

“Sir, I am willing to be the first to ascend to heaven. Even if something unexpected happens, I can rely on the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield to save my life.”

Kong Deming volunteered to be the first person in space. Although it would be risky, such an opportunity to go down in history is rare, and he would regret it for the rest of his life if he missed it.

"Get out of here! You're not qualified to be the first person to ascend to heaven. What about me?"

Xu Jinghong pushed Kong Deming away, indicating that he was willing to be the first to ascend to heaven, and that he was the most suitable candidate, much more suitable than Kong Deming.

Because his martial soul is the sun and has reached level ninety-nine, even though the environment in space is harsh, he can quickly adapt with the support of the sun and then complete the basic construction of the space elevator.

"I didn't explain clearly. It wasn't my main body that went up, but a clone. The successful launch of the Orange satellite just now proves that the barrier has no effect on non-living objects. Currently, only a soul tool body like mine is suitable for breaking through."

Tian Hao waved his hand to signal that they should stop arguing, and took out a robot that resembled a spider.

Since you can't do adventures yourself, you can just create a clone to pretend to do it.

"But the spatial rules above are clearly different from those in our world. We couldn't use spatial teleportation before. If we bring the cable up using a storage soul tool, can we still retrieve it?"

Jing Hongchen pushed up his glasses and asked a key question.

They had previously tried to teleport up using spatial teleportation, but unfortunately, the space above was clearly different from the space below, resulting in chaotic teleportation directions, which would likely affect the use of the storage soul tool.

If the storage soul tool cannot be opened, then even if you use the soul tool to bring the rope you made up there, it will be of no use.

As for forcibly opening it after going up, although the storage soul tool is not very lethal, it is still made of spatial energy. If it is forcibly opened and the internal space is shattered, everything will be cut up.

The sharpest blade is the one that lies within space itself.

"Then we can only build planetary engines, which are more difficult, more expensive, and larger."

Tian Hao revealed the backup plan, which was also the real plan.

He naturally knew that the laws outside the plane would be different, which was why gods were not subject to many restrictions in space, but not in the plane.

So his real goal was to copy the planetary engine from the Wandering Planet and force it up using the power of the jets.
