He Xingzhou and the others toured the space station for half an hour, then took the space elevator back to the ground.
The sensation of descending was even more thrilling, like jumping from space and plunging to the ground!
As the buildings on the ground grew larger in view, many spectators could no longer handle the excitement and exited the virtual experience.
"Is this a space drop tower? It’s so thrilling! My heart is about to jump out!"
"What does it feel like to jump from space 36,000 kilometers high? It feels like your nerves are about to explode!"
"Can there possibly be anything cooler than this in the world?"
"Will the space elevator be open to the public in the future?"
He Xingzhou said, "The space elevator will be open to everyone in the future. Within a year, going to space to work, travel, and live will become commonplace, just like taking the super high-speed rail!"
His words have already made the audience look forward to it. Over the years, they have experienced a lot of advanced technology.
But honestly speaking, the number of people who have actually been to space can be counted by all of humanity!
Who doesn’t long for the Star Sea?
The space elevator has begun to decelerate, and when it reached the tower’s aerial plaza, it first stopped.
When He Xingzhou and Xiao Mao and others disembarked, tens of thousands of engineers and workers at the aerial plaza couldn’t help but cheer loudly!
They were all wearing armor, as the altitude here is even higher than Mount Everest, with thin air and low temperatures. Without wearing armor, an average person couldn’t bear it.
He Xingzhou announced loudly to everyone, "I announce that the first space elevator in human history, Sky Ladder No.1, has successfully completed its trial run! It will be put into operation! Thanks to everyone’s dedication and efforts!"
"The Sky Ladder has been built!"
"The elevator to space, the nexus connecting the Blue Star and space, is henceforth born!"
Some engineers couldn’t contain their excitement, activated their flight models, and flew along the tower.
"Old Xiao!" He Xingzhou saw this and smiled, "I’ll leave this place to you."
"Leave it to me!" Xiao Mao said.
He Xingzhou leapt to the edge of the aerial plaza and began flying along the equator.
Since he was out, he planned to inspect all the space elevators.
Not just Sky Ladder No.1, other space elevators constructed simultaneously were also largely completed.
Artificial islands, towers, space stations.
He Xingzhou arrived over the Pacific Ocean, seeing the Space Air Mother Ship assisting engineers in transporting cables and carriages, sending them to the Space Port.
Once fixed at the Space Port and space station, the cables were then thrown down and fixed to the tower, forming a connection between heaven and earth!
He circled the equator of the Blue Star once and found no problems.
Two months later, Sky Ladder No.10 announced its completion.
As such, all ten space elevators were fully constructed, and the planetary logistics system was also initially completed.
He Xingzhou originally planned to visit the interstellar construction conference to update his ranking.
But an unexpected event interrupted his plan.
"Commander, the Moon is under attack!" An urgent message came through.
He Xingzhou connected with the Blue Star Alliance Command Headquarters, and Ge Xingchao, the chief engineer responsible for the Moon Base’s construction, sent satellite footage.
In the footage, construction machinery was building a surface base, and two gigantic beasts flew from the dark space.
The size of these two beasts was only slightly smaller than the original Ola Insect King, standing over 2,500 meters tall, resembling the original Mana Insect King, with four claws, long tails, capable of bipedal walking, flying, and spewing Atomic Breath.
Satellites near the Moon detected them and launched laser and plasma beam attacks, all blocked by a plasma protection layer surrounding them.
Space Armor attempted interception, but the weapons had no effect on them.
"These are at least primary Planet Dominators!" Song Jinhong said, "Two main features of Planet Dominators: first, they can form a plasma protection layer, and second, biological heavy nuclear fusion."
"Although they are not as large as the Ola Insect King, they can survive in space, and might be even stronger!"
"Outer Space Defense Department, commence the attack immediately!" He Xingzhou ordered. They didn’t yet have mature Cosmic Battleships, but they had Spacecraft capable of operating between Earth and the Moon.
"Copy that! The Earth-Moon Defense Team is rushing to the Moon, and Moon Base members are requested to evacuate in a timely manner!" Commander Luo An of the Outer Outer Control Defense Command responded.
His position had been upgraded from the Space Mother Ship Command to the Outer Space Defense Department commander.
He Xingzhou said to Ge Xingchao, "Two gigantic beasts, at least Planet Dominators, ask everyone to evacuate, don’t engage them head-on!"
"We are already arranging for everyone to evacuate!" Ge Xingchao was very anxious, "We’ve toiled for a year to build this Moon Base! If it gets destroyed, all this work would be for nothing!"
"If the base is lost, it can be rebuilt, but talent cannot be lost!" He Hongwei said.
He Xingzhou instructed, "Xuanwu, connect to the Moon Base defense system, prepare to attack!"
"Connected. Should we deploy the Space Mecha for interception?" Xuanwu asked for further instructions.
"No!" He Xingzhou directly denied, "In front of a Planet Dominator, these weapons are futile! Evacuate everyone and minimize losses!"
Inside the Moon Base, Space Mechas, engineering mechas, Moon Rovers, and others were rapidly evacuating, spreading across the cratered surface of the Moon.
He Xingzhou continued, "Prepare the Plasma Energy Storage Cannon, prepare the Proton Missile!"
Xuanwu: "Plasma Energy Storage Cannon has been activated, tracking proton missiles have been launched!"
