At the Zhaicheng Space Center, as the final countdown began, the atmosphere in the command room became increasingly tense.

Everyone in the command room held their breath, with their hearts in their throats. The audience in the live broadcast room stared closely at the live broadcast screen, unwilling to leave for a second.

Zhang Zhai stood in front of the command room, looking at the images returned by the lunar camera equipment.

At this moment, the main structure of the Crescent Palace Base has been completed, and its external structure has also been laid out. Tens of thousands of Terminators have poured into the Moon Palace Base to start the construction of the internal structure.

Zhang Zhai's eyes were fixed on the holographic screen, looking at the newly formed Moon Palace Base.

The Lunar Palace Base is like a super-large hemispherical cover buckled on the surface of the moon. Its surface is completely covered with nanowire solar panels, making the Lunar Palace Base full of science fiction.

Time continued to pass, and the command room remained quiet, except for the radio that sounded from time to time.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense. The staff were rapidly exhausted due to their high concentration, and sweat dripped from their foreheads.

In the live broadcast room, in front of the TV, countless viewers clenched their hands tightly and waited nervously.

Time passes.

One hour.

Ten thousand Terminators are divided into several batches, performing their tasks with super high efficiency.

Two hours.

In each area, new laboratories, smart factories, and a new No. 1 ecological simulation experiment circle are being completed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Three hours.

The interior and exterior of the Moon Palace Base are nearly completed, and the second-step expansion plan of the Moon Palace Base is nearing completion.

…

"00, I am 01, the internal and external confirmation of area 2 is complete."

"00, I am 02, the internal and external construction of area 3 has been completed."

"00, I am 03..."

…

At the end of three and a half hours, urgent feedback continued to sound through the radio in the command room.

In front of the command room, Zhang Zhai looked at the holographic screen in front of him, listened to the voice in his ears, and smiled on his face.

"Order that all Terminators inspect various areas of the Moon Palace Base as planned." Zhang Zhai picked up the communicator and said.

"01 understand..."

"02 understand..."

…

On the moon, in each area of ​​the Crescent Palace Base, the 10,000 Terminators that had just completed the internal construction of the Moon Palace Base and were about to pour out of the Moon Palace Base suddenly paused for a moment.

An instant later, 10,000 Terminators changed their trajectory, returned to the newly built areas, and began to fulfill Zhang Zhai's orders.

…

Time passed and ten minutes passed.

Zhaicheng Space Center Control Room.

A group of media pointed their cameras at Zhang Zhai and the holographic screen in front of the command room.

In the holographic screen, ten thousand Terminators poured out from four directions inside the Moon Palace Base and quickly converged on the flat ground between the Moon Palace Base and the circular transmission device.

The media and staff in the command room kept mentioning it again and again, and the strings in their heads kept tightening.

In the live broadcast room and on the Internet, countless people who were paying attention to this matter held their breaths and stared nervously.

At this moment, everyone had their eyes fixed on Zhang Zhai, waiting for him to announce the final result.

Zhang Zhai stood in front of the command room, feeling the eyes of everyone, with a smile on his face.

Zhang Zhai took his hands off the work table, raised his head and looked at everyone, one by one from left to right.

"Everyone," Zhang Zhai's eyes paused, and he picked up the communicator, "Now I announce that the Moon Palace Base expansion plan has been perfectly implemented, and a new Moon Palace Base has been born!"

There was an eerie silence in the command room.

On the surface of the moon, at the moment Zhang Zhai opened his mouth to speak, Terminator No. 01, at the front and far left of the Terminator phalanx, broke away from the phalanx as quickly as possible and galloped towards the interior of the Moon Palace base.

The moment Zhang Zhai finished speaking, Terminator No. 01 entered the Moon Palace Base.

One second later.

The energy system of the Moon Palace Base is activated, and the entire Moon Palace Base is powered on.

Suddenly! A bright light emerged from the surface of the Moon Palace Base that was originally submerged in darkness, illuminating the entire Moon Palace Base, making the entire Moon Palace Base like a bright pearl embedded in the surface of the moon!

The moment the Moon Palace Base lit up, the command room was filled with excitement!

"Wow..."

Cheers rang out, and everyone present stood up excitedly.

The media reporters who were broadcasting live at the back of the command room had their faces flushed red, and they held the microphone and shouted excitedly amidst the deafening cheers.

"Viewers, you are watching the live broadcast brought to you by the Capital News Channel. Just a few seconds ago, Mr. Zhang Zhai announced that the expansion of the Moon Palace Base has been completed..."

"Dear viewers, you have seen it! A Moon Palace base with an area expanded sixteen times has been born. I believe! This will be an important moment in the history of human spaceflight!"

"A larger Lunar Palace base will bring us into the era of lunar colonization more quickly... The new Lunar Palace base has been born, can the lunar city be far behind?"

…

"Pap bang pa... swish... swish..."

Just as the reporters were explaining excitedly, warm applause erupted in the command room, and everyone present stood up and applauded vigorously.

Soon, in Zhai City, which is the furthest distance from the Zhai City Space Center, hundreds of thousands of tourists burst into loud cheers, and countless people blushed with excitement.

At the ground ring transmission device five kilometers away from the Zhaicheng Space Center, the tourists who were still staying here burst into warm applause when Zhang Zhai announced the results.

Soon, almost in just an instant, the whole country of China was boiling!

Cheers, screams, applause, countless excited people venting their emotions.

In Zhang Zhai's live broadcast room, the over 100 million viewers were excited to comment on the barrage at several times the previous speed, extremely excited.

"Damn it, God Zhai, God Zhai is so awesome!"

"I am a god! I am a god!"

"The expansion of the Moon Palace Base is completed, does it mean that the lunar city is not far away!"

…

In the command room, Zhang Zhai smiled as he listened to the deafening cheers. He looked towards the live broadcast room and looked at the randomly captured barrages.

"Everyone, the expansion of the Moon Palace Base has been completed. The new Moon Palace Base will be enough to accommodate 20,000 Terminators operating at the same time, and will be able to further develop and utilize lunar resources.

In the near future, after the New Moon Palace base is fully operational, it will undertake the work of lunar exploration and research. It will be able to prepare for future lunar cities. It will be self-sufficient and further expand with lunar resources.

Development can even provide certain resource feedback to the earth."

Zhang Zhai looked at the increasingly rapid barrage, smiled and continued: "I can't say that the expansion of the Moon Palace Base is a milestone, but the expansion of the Moon Palace Base is indeed a new step for lunar exploration and lunar colonization.

"

…

"This live broadcast is about to end. You can look forward to it. When the Moon Palace base is expanded next, I will stand on the moon and live broadcast the birth of the lunar city for you." Zhang Zhai smiled,

"Civilization gives birth to technology, and technology leads civilization. Goodbye, everyone."

With that said, Zhang Zhai ignored the frantic barrages of the audience in the live broadcast room to persuade them to stay, and signaled A1 to close the live broadcast room directly.

Glancing at the closed live broadcast room, Zhang Zhai looked at everyone in the command room.

Everyone in the command room was still immersed in joy and excitedly communicating with each other.

Zhang Zhai smiled and then walked aside.

"Professor Hu, Academician Gan." Zhang Zhai walked up behind the two of them.

Hu Runze and Gan Xiaohua turned their heads at the same time, with still excited expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Zhang...Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Zhai nodded, the smile on his face gradually faded, and said in a deep voice: "Academician Gan, the second step of the expansion of the Moon Palace Base has been successfully completed. I hope that the existing problems can be solved as soon as possible, and preparations for the construction of the lunar city can be started as quickly as possible.

.”

Academician Gan nodded, "The second step of expansion of the Moon Palace Base has been completed, and the next step of the space center is to focus on the lunar city."

"Inform each team to continue working on key problems according to the previously decided research and experimental projects." Zhang Zhai said in a deep voice.
Chapter completed!
