Chapter 268: Chapter 246: The Advancing Moon (Two in One)_3

"After humanity barely restored order, they found the Moon had just filled up the Pacific Ocean, and terrible monsters crawled out from deep underground!"

Someone replied, "That idea is pretty cool! The volume of the Pacific Ocean is just a tad larger than the volume of the Moon. It has that bit of a sci-fi feel to it."

"It seems that the Moon might have split off from Earth during ancient times."

[zero]: "At three in the morning, a government alert wakes you up, saying: ’Don’t look up at the Moon.’ Start a story with this sentence."

Wang Hao yawned. Now that he could not play games, he had no choice but to shoot the breeze in the group chat to pass the time.

But the quality of this chat was just too poor.

These guys, who spent all day looking at cow hooves, were actually talking about astronomy?

What did they know? Not a damn thing!

People who couldn’t even be bothered to check out the sci-fi channel in online novels were now speaking as if they were experts?

Did this bunch of blockheads even know whether a light-year was a unit of time or distance?

[Namo Gatling Bodhisattva]: "There are rumors that the International Joint Government is sending astronauts to the Moon to investigate a precious meteorite that fell on the far side of the Moon."

"This is the first Moon landing in forty years!"

Indeed, these were photos of a rocket launch.

This news once again sparked a wave of chat in the group.

The fun seekers in the group began debating whether the Meili Empire had really succeeded in landing on the Moon more than fifty years ago.

Some believed that the previous Moon landings were "fake," concocted inside a film studio! And now, Moon landings are still so difficult, so what about over fifty years ago?

Others believed that the "Moon landing" was a real historical event, but since it was a massive investment without return, the program was halted.

Wang Hao felt a chill run down his spine hearing their nonsense and couldn’t help but start typing, "So why are they going to the Moon again this time? Could there be some profit motive? And why the rush?"

[Namo Gatling Bodhisattva]: "It’s said that the meteorite is made of gold!"

"It landed on the far side of the Moon!"

"So, a few major countries are rushing to land on the Moon, wanting to claim the gold for themselves. Of course, Great Xia Country has a share in this... the sooner, the better. Those in the know, understand; those who don’t, won’t get it even if you explain, so don’t ask. The interests involved are too significant."

Gold?

Wang Hao took a big gulp of Coke, muttering to himself: Bullshit!

Gold had some industrial value, but there weren’t many uses for it.

Value lies in scarcity. A gold meteorite with a diameter of 100 kilometers - how many billion tons would that be?

If it could be transported to Earth, then the price of gold would be no different from that of mud.

He typed again: "Gold doesn’t have that many industrial applications; it would destroy the human value system and bring social chaos. The spot price of gold hasn’t moved an inch, and the capital markets show no reaction; this news is probably fake."

"If the meteorite contains an abundance of minerals like Titanium, Lithium, and Rhenium, its value would be much higher. Our Earth’s lithium mines are completely insufficient; lithium prices are already a major bottleneck in manufacturing energy storage batteries."

"Discovering a trove of rare metals on the Moon could indeed usher in a brand-new space age... Hmm, wouldn’t that also take fifty or sixty years? Claiming ownership now doesn’t seem too bad?"

The actions of major countries are always planned out five, ten, or even fifty years ahead.

He even typed a few more lines: If supernatural mystical elements or treasures were found, that would be awesome. Of course, he deleted those lines.

After all, as a group admin, you have to keep a cool head and not act like an idiot.

Then the screen flooding began: "Hearing your words is like listening to a symphony."

"Hearing your words is like listening to a symphony."

Wang Hao enjoyed playing keyboard politics, dispensing wisdom in the group about industry, space, the future of humanity, social systems, and so on, wallowing in his eloquent spree.

Then he went off to play games with little sis Xiaoyue—delighting in a newly released wrestling rumble, having fun with the duo queue.

Summer vacation was almost over...

Every day of life was fulfilling!

(That’s it for today. The writer’s block is severe, and my mood isn’t great. Kunlun Mountain and Earth Era, two QQ groups that existed for several years, got banned, and our appeals went unanswered. The new group is mentioned in "The Author’s Words." I hope everyone will minimize keyboard politicking, and if you must do it, at least keep it of high quality. Sigh, that’s that.)
