Chapter 82 "Angry Moon" Part Two

I slowly stood up and called the general.

"Where are you?" I said.

"The launch tower in the city center is guarding the rocket with the experts," the general said.

"Where is the rocket now?" I asked.

"Wait a minute, let me ask." The general said and put down the satellite phone.

A moment's wait.

The general smiled and said: "I asked, we can land on the moon in twenty hours."

"Are you having any difficulties? Forget it, just hand the call over to the experts." I said anxiously.

The phone was handed to the other side.

"Hello, leader." The expert said calmly.

"Did the rocket encounter any problems this time?" I said.

"It's not a big problem. In my eyes, missiles are more challenging than rockets. Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, and several mathematicians are more cooperative. They helped a lot in converting the takeoff and distance, as well as the shape of the missile. ” said the expert.

"Stop talking about this, how long will it take to build a second rocket?" I asked.

The expert scratched his head, and I heard the sound of my scalp scratching on the phone.

"If there is no problem with this first rocket, according to this drawing. As long as a few mathematicians do not make mistakes in calculating the launch time, we can build a rocket in one year." The expert said.

"What about the cost? Can it be cheaper?" I said.

"Are you going to the wet market to buy food? Everything here is very expensive. Besides, the fuel you require is more than the amount of moon landing." The expert said dissatisfied.

"Although it is three times the cost of landing on the moon, this is a helpless move. Isn't everything just for the starting point plan? You can't just reduce your expenses a little bit." I said politely.

"Actually, it's not impossible." The expert said.

"You tell me." I said with a smile.

"I can indeed save about 15.00% of the price on this basis, but I cannot guarantee a [-]% success rate. You should know this better than me. After all, it is the plan and standards you gave me." The expert said.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say that. 13 billion is shipped once a year, please check it." I said helplessly.

"Just 12 billion, my leader." The expert smiled and said.

"Excuse me, please give the phone to the general." I said.

For a few passing seconds, I thought about the future.

"Master Leader, I heard our expert yelling at you. I will make him apologize, please don't worry." The general said.

"No need, he does a great job. Thank you also for always insisting on using him." I said with a smile.

"Everything is for the country." The general said seriously.

I hung up.

After waiting for a whole day, the plan to successfully land on the moon spread throughout the country.

It even spread to nearby neighboring countries, and almost all the special envoys of some countries sent news.

Hope to exchange data on rocket development, or directly purchase rocket manufacturing drawings.

I always choose to refuse, no matter how high the other party’s offer is.

The second rocket has also entered the research and development stage, and I personally serve as the Minister of Culture's advertising work.

Another year, my country's second moon landing rocket arrived as scheduled.

Same steps, same process for launching into the sky.

But the trademark on the rocket changed to: 999 Cold Spirit.

Everything is so perfect, not a single mistake.

Four days later, news of the successful moon landing once again spread throughout the country.

The Minister of Finance walked away quickly and did not speak immediately in front of me.

I saw him looking at my face, and I smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

The Minister of Finance organized his thoughts and said calmly: "Sir leader, I think there will be no problem with launching our entire rocket plan every two years, even three years, or four years. You will make money but not lose it, but do you have the right pace at your current pace? A bit too hasty? We didn’t make as much money this time as we did last time. If you do it again we might have to..."

The Minister of Finance looked at me and hesitated to say the word "compensation".

I looked at him with the red document and couldn't say anything.

"Leader, what you are holding in your hands is not the plan for Rocket [-], right?" the Finance Minister said with a trembling voice.

"Yes, you discovered it." I smiled.

"Can you stop for a moment? My leader?" the Finance Minister's voice trembled.

I put the contract aside, stood up and walked towards him, put my arm on his shoulder and said, "Isn't anything I have done in the past few years for the good of the country?"

"You have indeed done your best for the country, but people always make mistakes. Your frequency this time is really inappropriate. You may really need to stop." The trembling voice of the Finance Minister softened slightly.

I looked into his eyes and said calmly: "Trust me once, just this once, okay?"

The Finance Minister was stunned and lowered his head.

The third rocket is scheduled.

Another year, slowly launching into the sky.

This time the advertiser became Stanley Compound Fertilizer.

Watching the rocket slowly disappear in front of you.

"Are the advertisers I choose getting worse?" I said.

The assistant nodded and said, "I'm making less and less money, and the Minister of Finance is very unhappy."

"You block it for me. Even if you ask me, you will tell me I'm not here. This is the launch plan of the No. [-] rocket, and no one can block it." I handed the document to my assistant.

"Leader." The assistant said nervously.

"What? Are you going to convince me too? Don't you know me clearly yet? Go ahead and do it." I said calmly.

……

Another year.

"Do you still remember who the tenderer this time is?" I slapped the Rocket [-] contract on the table.

The assistant lowered his head.

"This is only the fifth one, what? No one is willing to invest anymore?" I said.

The assistant nodded.

"Forget it, I will launch without investment." I said.

"I want to say that K country wants our rocket blueprints. The price is enough for us to launch another rocket. I think you should know." The assistant said.

"There are more and more countries that can launch rockets," I said.

"Except for country K, almost all neighboring countries know it, but no country is willing to sell the blueprints to country K. Or the price is sky-high, so country K found us." The assistant said.

"Selling it to him is no longer a secret. Our plan is running out of time. Even if we rush it, we are still far behind." I sighed.

"Plan?" the assistant said in confusion.

"Go to work quickly and bring the contract." I said helplessly.

The assistant was helpless, took the contract on the table and walked out.

. . .

The sixth one was successful.

. . .

The launch plan for the seventh rocket is in my hands.

The door was kicked open by the Finance Minister.

I didn't dare move, but the Finance Minister pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at me.

I could clearly see his trembling hands.

"Dear leader, you can't make a living out of going to the moon. We still need funds to build the country." The financial leader said, his whole body trembling.

I slowly put down the contract.

"Is this a launch plan for seven rockets? I shouldn't have given you my vote back then. My leader, you are a madman who wastes money." The Finance Minister knelt on the ground, holding the pistol in his hand. trembling.

"Can you calm down? Listen to me. Although I can't tell you what's here, can you believe me? We don't have time, we have to keep launching. We have to get ahead of other countries, do you understand? "I said helplessly.

"You are crazy." The Finance Minister slowly raised the gun and stuffed it into his mouth.

The Secretary of the Treasury knelt before me and pulled the trigger.

Gunfire roared, and armed soldiers immediately entered the office.

The soldiers almost froze on the spot.I waved my hand and said, "Clean up the body. Take out the red contract on the table and give it to my assistant."

As soon as I finished speaking, I left the office.

Called the general's number.

"You're looking for me?" the general said.

"What else do we have besides rockets now?" I said.

"What? These finance ministers know more than I do," the general said.

"He just swallowed a gun and committed suicide in front of me. Tell me what you know." I said calmly.

"The army has been reduced by [-]%, and the weapons have not improved in seven years." The general said.

"How far behind are we? How far behind is the starting point plan?" I said.

"There are still three rockets left," the general said.

"Can we finish?" I said.

"I'm not sure, but for the sake of the country," the general said.

……

The eighth one was successful.

……

The plan for the ninth rocket is in my hands, and the army has been completely canceled by me.

Government staff canceled [-]% of the orders.

Taxes have doubled, and people are deeply resentful.

But the ninth rocket was still launched.

Four days later, the news that the rocket successfully landed on the moon reached my ears.

And the enemy's army also set foot on our territory.

There's still one left to go, but everything should be enough.

Four hours later, a heavily armed army appeared in front of me.

The assistant had fallen into a pool of blood, and the general's phone number had long been lost.

They were the army of the leading country, and their sophisticated firearms were aimed at me.

"Lord Leader, your people are cursing you." A soldier dressed slightly differently said.

"I know." I said with a smile from my morning office chair.

"I came in all the way, but I didn't even see an imaginary soldier." The soldier said again.

"Soldiers? This is the army. I have no money and can't afford it," I said.

"I forgot to introduce you, I am a first-class sergeant of country M. Billy Herrington may also be the one who took you away." The soldier captain said with a smile.

I put a remote control on the table and said, "You know for the past nine years, we've been sending rockets to the moon."

The soldier captain came over, took out a satellite phone and placed it on the table. "We know that we have been monitoring you. We think you may be crazy, my rocket leader."

The call was connected and it said: "I am the leader of Country M. I am now leading my army to take over your territory."

"Mo Zheng? Maybe, do you know what the remote control button in front of me is for?" I said.

"As far as I know, your country has not developed its military for several years. Our country invented a nuclear bomb last year. You wouldn't tell me this, right?" the soldier captain smiled.

The soldiers behind him also laughed, and the other end of the satellite phone was very serious and there was no sound.

"If you are really monitoring, I think you should know what the predecessor of our country's rocket is?" I said.

"Yes, I know. My rocket leader, or should I call you missile leader?" the soldier captain continued to say with a smile.

"Let me talk about common sense. You know that the moon we see is always one side of the moon. The other side is never visible." I said with a smile.

"So what?" the soldier captain looked at me and said, his smile a little far-fetched at this time.

"On the side that you can't see, there are nine rockets with two-thirds of the fuel remaining. Of course, my expectation was ten, but there is no chance for this last one. But this is powerful enough, but it will only Slow down." I said with a smile.

"You don't want to fool us with this, do you? A moon?" The soldier captain completely lost his smile.

"As long as I press this button, the nine rockets on the moon will re-ignite. Pushing the moon to hit the earth, I now ask you to put down your weapons and surrender to me." I shouted loudly.

The soldier captain raised his gun and pointed it at me, and the soldiers in the back row did not neglect either.

A voice came from the other end of the satellite phone: "Is what you said true?"

"Of course, the Starting Point Project has just begun. I need you to help me announce this and make the entire earth surrender to me." I shouted.

The real starting point plan is to spend 10 years to rule the entire earth.

"The remote control is in his hand?" the satellite phone said.

"Yes, I'm pinching him," the soldier captain said.

The satellite phone was silent for a moment and said, "Plan B."

Not far away, an ambushed sniper pulled the trigger.

My mind went blank and I fell on the table.

The soldier captain almost subconsciously grabbed my arm and snatched the remote control.

"This? The remote control is too light. It seems to be a plastic, it can't be some kind of transmitter. We were deceived, this madman." The soldier captain said.

"Captain, the leader's chest seems to be glowing," one soldier said.

The soldier captain positioned my body so that a wire was exposed on my chest.

The soldier captain untied my clothes and found the sensor attached to my chest.

The soldier captain touched it and understood that it was a circuit, and the switch of the circuit was my beating heart.

And my heart stopped beating at this point.

The soldier captain immediately went to the window and looked at the sky.

Above the blue sky and white clouds, no movement could be seen at this time.

But it was above the invisible sky, behind the moon.

Nine indescribable things are stirring.

At night, when everyone sees the moon.

I found that the moon was getting bigger and redder.

It looks like an angry moon, ready to embrace the earth.

……

postscript:

This story was voted on twice in the group.

For the first time, Goudan got one more vote than Lu Qiao and became the protagonist of "The Angry Moon".

The second time A is the good ending and B is the bad ending.

8% of the people who voted chose bad ending B, which is plan B.

Everything is God's will, everything is destined.

Let me just say this, this bad ending was chosen by voting.

But in order to make everyone happy, I will release the good ending that was not voted for.

The outline of a good ending: Hereinafter commonly known as Goudan mode.

After nine rockets were completed, other countries discovered it.

Continuing from the above, the difference is that the leader of the other country called off Plan B and the sniper put down his gun.

The soldier captain reluctantly put down his gun.

Negotiations with leaders of other countries have yielded no results.

Other countries announced the secrets on the moon and introduced the starting point plan for Goudan, and introduced Goudan to the world.

Goudan announced on TV stations around the world: The earth belongs to him.

Years from now, the world will look up at this one from time to time.

The moon can be angry at any time.

……

Of course, the happy ending is also for Goudan.

I won’t go into details about the outline. Which one you like varies from person to person.
