From the Moon Transfer Station, the Hope looked like a firefly glowing blue as it flew into the distance.
It shone in the darkness of space.
The enormous Hope accelerated at an astonishing speed, a testament to the power of human technology.
Propelling a spacecraft that large required not only extremely powerful engines, but also a constant supply of energy.
The Hope's four Controlled Nuclear Fusion Reactors powered all of its systems.
Under Zero's control, the spacecraft did not conduct an extreme test with all its engines running at once. Its output was set to just 70%.
To the employees at the Moon Transfer Station, the Hope had seemed like a fairly large spacecraft. But within seconds, it had become a tiny blue dot, twinkling like one of the stars they saw every day.
A day later, after Zero had corrected the Hope's flight path, it shut down all the engines.
In Mo Jingchun's Private Laboratory, a single screen displayed the Hope's flight data and trajectory.
Mo Jingchun was no longer keeping a constant eye on the Hope.
He trusted Zero to handle any abnormalities immediately and notify him at once.
If that was the case, there was no point wasting time monitoring it.
At the workbench in his Private Laboratory, Mo Jingchun was assembling something the size of a basketball.
With a click, the final piece of outer casing snapped into place, leaving a smooth sphere in Mo Jingchun's hands.
There was one ugly-looking connector on its smooth surface.
Mo Jingchun hefted it. It felt good in his hands.
The 15-kilogram Miniature Controlled Cold Nuclear Fusion Reactor felt weightless in his hands, and he tossed it up and down like a basketball.
More than a year after he had already acquired the technology to manufacture Miniature Controlled Cold
