The Tianchen Bureau's launch preparations had forced every country onto the starting line!
None of them wanted to fall behind!
And while the Tianchen Bureau rushed to get ready,
the Starflight Bureau's headquarters, far across the ocean in America, was just as busy!

Every other country was making its final preparations for launch. America alone wasn't!
That was because they planned to build a massive spacecraft directly in low Earth orbit!

The image on the screen changed!
A gigantic spacecraft was circling Blue Planet in low orbit!
It had hundreds of modules alone, connected by airtight hatches!
The spacecraft was cylindrical. It was currently rotating around its central living quarters, using centrifugal force to simulate Blue Planet's gravity!
Looking at the Zeus, everyone in the Main Control Hall smiled with relief!

"We'd probably have made several trips by now! Damn it all!"
At the mention of that, the staff in the hall all scowled, their Resentment Points soaring!
