Chapter 500 Eggs Stop, Faith Returns to Zero

The new Guanghan Palace is not just a city.

It will be the life capital of Great Xia in the future, and Great Xia's outpost city on the moon.

Safety is of paramount importance.

A three-tiered defense system is deployed on the ground, surrounding the city's perimeter and providing comprehensive coverage.

For close-range combat, there is a close-in weapon system (CIWS).

Intercepting small meteorites and all foreign projectiles.

There is no atmosphere on the moon to slow things down, so even a rock the size of a fist falling on you would be a disaster.

The medium-range is an electromagnetic railgun array.

The moon has no atmospheric drag, no wind deflection, and no humidity interference.

The range and accuracy of the railgun here far exceed the limits of deployment on the surface of Earth.

Once fired, it hits exactly where it's aimed.

Long-range weapons include heavy plasma turrets, antimatter warhead launch silos, and nuclear bombs.

This is the last line, and also the most ruthless one.

Plasma cannons do not experience energy decay in a vacuum, not to mention antimatter warheads and nuclear bombs.

The moon has no atmosphere, making it a natural and perfect firing range for energy and kinetic weapons.

With three layers of firepower combined, everything from the city's edge to the lunar wasteland hundreds of kilometers away was included in the strike range.

Any unidentified object that approaches the new Moon Palace will be torn to pieces before it even touches the city.

All of this is just the first step.

The second step of the plan is to rely on the city of Guanghan Palace to build planetary engines on the moon and launch a long-distance voyage.

The third step is to hollow out the moon and relocate the entire population.

The fourth step is to terraform the moon and build a planetary fortress.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

Because key positions at Daxia have always had a system of compensatory leave, the progress of various tasks did not stop at all, even during the Spring Festival.

As for abandoning Earth, the people had already prepared themselves for it.

Since Earth began to slow down, countless experts have been predicting its future online, arguing that it will inevitably lose its current orbit and crash into the sun.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Even the top leaders of the Great Xia Dynasty initially thought there were still several hundred years left.

They also planned to build planetary engines on Earth and use the World Tree to transform the ecological environment, but now they have to give up.

The demise of Earth is now a foregone conclusion.

The matter concerning Blue Star has come to a temporary end, and the year is over.

Lin Mo returned to the continent of Terra through the portal.

There's one important thing he needs to get done as soon as possible since he's back.

That is lunar gravity terraforming.

The new Guanghan Palace project has commenced and construction is proceeding smoothly.

However, the gravity issue remains unresolved. Currently, the gravity on the moon's surface is only one-sixth that of Earth, and long-term habitation would lead to severe degeneration of human bones and muscles.

Centrifugal simulation of gravity is one approach, but it is extremely complex and can only cover specific areas.

The other path is the dwarven runes.

The problem is that the dwarves' gravity runes are only ever used in the forging workshops, covering no more than a few hundred square meters at most.

To revamp the gravity of an entire planet?

The dwarves themselves had never even considered this; they had to discuss it face-to-face with Thorin.

Lin Mo walked into the Terra command center, where Zhao Gang was processing documents. On the table was a thick stack of reports from various ethnic groups regarding the establishment of shops.

"Brother Zhao, where is Elder Thorin?"

After Zhao Gang finished signing the last character on the paper, he saw Lin Mo return, paused for a moment, and then said:

"It should be in the cross-border trade center."

"The official opening is tomorrow, and people from all ethnic groups are making final preparations there, keeping them extremely busy."

Lin Mo slapped his forehead.

I almost forgot!

He personally decided on the opening date of the Two Worlds Trade Center.

During this period, one thing after another happened on Blue Star: the Blue Star crisis was brought forward, and the New Moon Palace project was urgently launched. He was so busy that he forgot about this matter.

"Okay, I'll go find him over there. I'll also check on the preparations."

Zhao Gang nodded, then added:

"Sorin has been in a bad mood these past few days, apparently because he's not happy with his bunk."

"When you get there, try to comfort her."

Lin Mo smiled, said nothing more, and turned to walk out.

At the entrance of the command center, guards were already waiting in an off-road vehicle.

With a deep, rumbling engine, the wheels rolled over the concrete road paved by Daxia, heading towards the area of ​​the Two Worlds Trade Center.

Two suns hung high and low in the sky outside the window, dyeing the earth a deep golden-red.

The distant woods are lush with foliage, and you can vaguely see several large birds flying over the treetops.

A dozen minutes later, the car stopped.

Lin Mo pushed open the door and got out of the car. When he looked up, he saw a huge gantry crane.

The two-way trade center is spectacular.

It's less of a trade center and more of a Hakka walled village magnified a hundred times.

Two enormous circular buildings stand in parallel, one on the left and one on the right, separated by a wide main road.

Above the large circular gate on the left hangs a plaque that reads "Daxia Commercial Center".

On the right is the "Terra Trade Center".

The two circular buildings have completely different architectural styles.

The building over there is made of reinforced concrete and glass curtain walls, clean and neat, full of industrial texture.

Although Terra's architectural framework was built by Great Xia, the interior decoration is very different.

It blends various ethnic styles, with stone bricks, wooden beams, and metal rivets mixed together.

It possesses both the ruggedness and solidity of dwarf architecture and the natural beauty of elven architecture.

There's also the pure, holy feel of the Holy Humans, and the "Syrian style" of the Orcs.

From afar, you could hear the clanging and banging of objects coming from inside, along with the cacophony of voices in various languages.

Lin Mo strode towards the entrance of the Terra Trade Center.

The arched gate is six meters high, and the door frame is engraved with patterns in various ethnic styles, showing that a lot of effort has been put into it.

Upon entering, the view suddenly opens up.

The street has a three-tiered structure.

The first floor is all shops, with spacious storefronts and signs already hung up.

The second and third floors can be used as storage or living quarters.

The entire complex stretches out along a circular arc, and when you stand at the entrance and look ahead, you can't see the end at all.

This is the essence of the circular design.

Whether you go left or right, you have to walk the whole loop before you can get back to the main gate.

Want to take a shortcut halfway? No way!

Imagine a tourist who only wanted to buy one thing, but ended up walking halfway around the circle, passing hundreds of shops, and getting dizzy from the sheer number of options.

"This one is good too."

"I want that one too."

"Since we're already here, and it's not easy to travel to another world, let's buy!"

One item becomes three, three items become ten...

Actually, this tactic isn't new; many shopping malls on Blue Star used it before.

The elevators and stairs are deliberately placed diagonally, forcing customers to walk through half a floor of shops to get upstairs.

However, Lin Mo used this move in another world.

There's no need to worry about merchants entering and exiting; Da Xia has already designed it so that they can use the back door.

Each shop has a separate passageway at the back, so that delivery, restocking, and employee entry and exit all go through the back, without affecting customers shopping in the front.

The large open space in the very center of the circle has been planned as a large public facility area.

In Great Xia, there are cinemas, amusement parks, and zoos; as for Terra, it depends on the interests of each race.

For example, the Holy Human race strongly demanded that a church be built.

His intentions are clear to everyone; he wants to develop a cult of otherworldly followers.

However, Lin Mo estimated that it was quite unlikely.

After all, once the eggs stop, faith disappears...
