World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 621 - 474: Space Program (Two in One)_2

Hu Peng said, "There’s no time to lose, Weiss, take us to see the body of that snake right away. Also, try to contact that bounty hunter named Sizar as soon as possible, he may have some clues on him..."

After finishing his words, he turned his gaze towards Xiao Shun.

"By the way, Brother Xiao, I’ll have to trouble you to go back and report this to the Star Lord, especially about that fragment, it must be handed over to him as soon as possible."

Xiao Shun, however, shook his head.

"This, I’m afraid we can’t hand it over just yet..."

"What happened?"

"The Star Lord is not currently on Water Blue Star."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned, then quickly regained composure, with Hu Peng even more excitedly saying:

"Xiao, Brother Xiao, are you saying that our plan has already begun?"

Xiao Shun nodded, while Xun You couldn’t help but have his eyes shine brightly.

"That plan? What plan?"

Only Weiss, who had been busy building the Wildfire Tavern with his teammates lately, was still in the dark about some of the organization’s recent developments.

Although he knew that the Star Lord was indeed very powerful and had heard many legends about him, the sudden news that he was not on Water Blue Star caught him by surprise.

"Could it be that the strength of our organization has already exceeded that of the planet?"

He wondered in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Xiao Shun revealed a slight smile and pointed towards the sky with his right hand, saying:

"That plan, of course, is our plan to make a fortune, it is also the first step towards the cosmos; we call it the ’Space Plan’."

...

At this moment, 380,000 kilometers from Water Blue Star.

The Moon.

There, by a small grove on the far side of the Moon, hovered a gigantic space battleship nearly 200 meters in length, just above the surface.

"OMG! I’ve been looking forward to this day for so long! To think that in my lifetime, I’d actually set foot on this land!"

Inside the hatch of the Dawn, a man in his sixties was watching the holographic projection outside, his face flushed with excitement.

This man was none other than Richard, the scientific talent recently recruited by Zhang Xiaoman from England.

Since their last parting, Richard had been busy with the affairs of his resignation.

For a bigwig like him, leaving his original company was clearly not an easy task.

Fortunately, with the maneuvering of his mother, Ms. Pei Lingsu, they were able to successfully pry him away from his former scientific research enterprise.

Of course, it came at some cost.

But compared to the value of such talent, everything was worth it.

Now, this bigwig finally got his wish to come to space, something he had dreamt of, and not just to space but directly and quite literally landing on the surface of the Moon.

Richard felt like he was dreaming—Transcendents, a mysterious organization, spaceships, space, the Moon, and even life on the far side of the Moon.

If he hadn’t been prepared in advance and gradually introduced to all of this, he probably would have passed out from the excitement by now.

After seven days of intensive training, he was ready, under the guidance of professional astronauts, to don his spacesuit and truly set foot on the lunar soil.

This trip included not only him but other research personnel from the Star Alliance, including Sun Mingsheng, Tina, and a professional astronaut instructor.

The astronaut instructor named Zhao Liang, had also personally been to space and was responsible for the routine maintenance in a space station.

However, an accident later caused him to permanently lose vision in one eye, forcing him into retirement.

After retiring, he had been working as a technical advisor at a domestic Space Agency before Ms. Pei Lingsu successfully recruited him to the Light Blue Star Company.

Initially, Zhao Liang did not believe in any space development plans and decisively declined Ms. Pei Lingsu’s invitation.

Until later, when he was coming home from work one day, an invisible anti-gravity car descended from the sky in the courtyard of his own villa...

Now, Zhao Liang was truly grateful that the lady had chosen him.

No one knew how emotionally depressed he had become after being forced to retire.

In front of others, he always pretended not to care, fearing the look of sympathy in their eyes. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Even though he could continue to work in the aerospace department, he knew that he would probably never have the chance to reach the vast, beautiful starry sky again in his lifetime.

At the moment, looking at the Moon’s surface so close at hand, Zhao Liang felt as if he had a thousand words to say, but due to the situation, he had to bury those emotions silently for now.

"If Old Ding and Old Wang knew where I am now, I wonder what their expressions would be."

Zhao Liang felt his eyes were nearly bursting with tears, tears of fulfillment, carrying the happiness and dreams of a lifetime’s pursuit.

In fact, everyone present, except for Zhang Xiaoman, was almost uncontrollably excited.

How many people have spent their whole lives chasing the dream of venturing into space, or even setting foot on the soil of an outer planet?

Now that they could achieve this so easily, who could remain indifferent?

Now, considering the safety issues, only Richard, Zhao Liang, Tina, and two other researchers were selected for the first moon landing.

They had all received emergency training conducted by Zhao Liang recently.

As for Zhang Xiaoman, he wasn’t much interested in landing on the Moon.

Moreover, wearing those cumbersome spacesuits really wasn’t in keeping with his status as a Star Lord.

It didn’t really matter if he went or not since he could attach his consciousness to a Star Guard and observe up close; there was no need for him to be there in person.

After helping Richard and the others into their spacesuits, Zhao Liang then dressed himself.

Soon after, five people in heavy gear stood in the spacecraft’s isolation chamber.

"Okay, everyone check your comms belts. Once the airlock depressurizes, I’ll go first. Follow me, keep your center of gravity low, maintain your pace, and don’t panic!" Zhao Liang said after checking everyone’s equipment one last time, then gave a thumbs-up to indicate that everything was ready.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded and immediately commanded the Star Order to open the airlock door.

At the same time, he signaled with his thoughts, and two Star Guards followed the group into the airlock.

Seeing this, the researchers turned around in surprise, their eyes full of confusion.

These two warriors, clad in blue-purple armor, had been secretly watched by them all along.

But the warriors had always stood silently, never speaking or making any unnecessary movements.

Had it not been for seeing them move, they might have mistaken them for statues.

But now, it seemed the Star Lord intended for them to enter space with the team?

The researchers were full of doubts and uncertainty.

Those selected for the first moon landing were all heavyweights in their respective fields.

Even Tina, who specialized in biological genetics and was an outsider to space, had undergone extensive relevant training beforehand.

They understood the dangers of the space environment far better than the average person.

It was, essentially, a domain where life was contested.

And now, to think that people could enter such a restricted area with their physical bodies was simply unbelievable to them.

Zhang Xiaoman, of course, knew what they were thinking and shook his head slightly, saying:

"It’s okay, they can move freely on the Moon. You don’t have to worry about them."

When they heard him say this, they also remembered the intelligence reports that a species of Alien Species called Desert Worms had been discovered on the dark side of the Moon.

They had been too excited earlier and had temporarily forgotten about this detail.

These armored warriors must be the protectors sent by the Star Lord to safeguard them.
