What should we change it to?
Ding Hongbo almost thought he hadn't heard clearly.
He was stunned for a full two seconds before he realized that President Zhang was really telling him that he could get them a new moon.
That's as casual as changing clothes.
Ding Hongbo looked up and met Zhang Tianyuan's smiling face. He knew that this young man must have guessed what he was thinking.
That's right, the first thought that popped into his head after learning that the moon was actually a spaceship—
Take it!
It would be best if they relied solely on their own strength to capture the lunar spaceship and hold it firmly in their grasp!
This is a spaceship from a super-civilization within the Milky Way! xS12
Who wouldn't be tempted?
This was his instinct.
Without this instinct, no one could have gotten to where he is now.
That's why he just asked Zhang Tianyuan if they had any way to solve the problem of the moon's derailment on their own.
In this way, they overcame the crisis without relying on the Mutual Aid Society, and thus have a reason to refuse the Mutual Aid Society's interference in lunar spaceships in the future.
However, the president in front of him, though young, was clearly a cunning old fox. He had already seen through his thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth, which was why he deliberately mentioned the matter of "changing the moon".
This was not only a reminder to himself that he already knew his own thoughts, but also a demonstration of the Mutual Aid Society's capabilities.
Thinking of this, Ding Hongbo immediately added, "I fully agree with the Mutual Aid Society's philosophy. If changing the moon truly benefits the stability and prosperity of our spacetime, then I will also express my support."
The crisis of the moon derailing is not over yet, so we can't just throw away this lifeline. Anyone who does that would be the biggest fool in the world.
Moreover, what Ding Hongbo said was the truth.
Although he intended to monopolize the lunar spaceship, this did not mean he would refuse to join the Mutual Aid Society, or even become Mutual Aid Society enemy.
His true thoughts were exactly the opposite.
Regardless of the final outcome of the lunar spaceship mission, he would choose to join the Mutual Aid Society.
After all, this is an opportunity to experience multiple dimensions; to give it up would be to lose more than anything else in the world.
The biggest idiot is still the biggest idiot.
Joining a Mutual Aid Society Mutual Aid Society in an ordinary way is different from joining one with a super spaceship.
Ding Hongbo pursued the latter.
Zhang Tianyuan pretended not to know Ding Hongbo's inner thoughts and seriously discussed with him the pros and cons of replacing the moon.
"The benefit, of course, is that the moon in your timeline will become more stable and safer in the future, a benefit that was insignificant before."
Because the moon is inherently stable, but after the lunar crisis, you should appreciate this tranquility more.
"As for the downsides, of course, the technology on the lunar spaceship needs to be shared with the Mutual Aid Society, and the lunar spaceship cannot be moved at your will."
"Of course, we can guarantee that when your spacetime encounters a crisis, the Mutual Aid Society and the lunar spaceship will unconditionally appear in your spacetime to provide you with unlimited protection..."
"On this point, our credibility is impeccable."
At this point, Zhang Tianyuan paused for a moment, then told Ding Hongbo about a hypothesis that had been circulating within the Mutual Aid Society: " The Swarm discovered the Earth and the Moon very early; it had already reached the Earth-Moon system by the time of the Apollo moon landing."
"While it's unclear why it didn't take action until eleven years ago to launch an attack on the moon, it's highly likely that it sent signals to nearby friendly forces during those decades."
You mean the main force is still behind?
Zhang Tianyuan nodded.
Ding Hongbo was immediately caught in a dilemma.
He really wanted a lunar spaceship.
But the current situation is very unfavorable to him. The crisis of the moon derailing is something that even if the entire Earth were mobilized, it would be impossible to overcome safely.
Not to mention the potential for a large army from Galaxy AI to follow.
He also considered this statement to be reasonable.
It's impossible that the Swarm just spent the decades before it started drilling holes in the moon doing nothing, right?
Therefore, in order to overcome these two crises, he must rely on the power of the Mutual Aid Society.
If that's the case, then there's no reason why their timeline would be cheering them on from behind, only to end up plucking the biggest prize—the lunar spaceship—in the end.
As for "moon"
The claim that "the spaceship belongs to their heritage"...
Some people trace their ancestry back hundreds of years, while others, from the perspective of biological evolution, trace it back millions or even tens of millions of years.
But to claim ancestry dating back billions of years and then demand an inheritance—that's truly unheard of.
Moreover, strictly speaking, the lunar spacecraft should be considered the "creation" of humankind.
Therefore, the claim that the lunar spaceship is a legacy of their time and space is not strongly relevant; the Mutual Aid Society recognizes reason and emotion, but not law and reason.
Zhang Tianyuan could guess Ding Hongbo's inner turmoil, and he said understandingly, "Actually, what we're talking about now is just a digression. The real problem that urgently needs to be solved is the crisis caused by the moon."
"Regardless, our primary goal is to save lives; we will not stand idly by and watch billions of lives across your time and space be swallowed up by disaster."
"Yes..." Ding Hongbo rubbed his forehead, agreeing with this statement, "The most important thing right now is indeed solving the problem of the moon's derailment."
"It's important to emphasize this point beforehand: resolving the issue of the moon's derailment essentially requires eliminating the Swarm. Therefore, the Planetary Engine propulsion solution we proposed earlier can only provide temporary relief, giving you a breather and buying us more time for our subsequent actions."
"I understand, thank you for your hard work."
Everything can be put on hold for now, and we can discuss it later.
The effects of the moon's deviating from its orbit will soon become apparent.
In the movie, NASA collaborates with the European Space Agency to send the first batch of astronauts to the moon to deliver food to Swarm. Meanwhile, a massive flood has already occurred on Earth, with surging tides sweeping yachts directly onto land.
Apart from high-rise buildings, all low-rise buildings were submerged.
If Brian and the obese Houseman, who were in California at the time, hadn't tried to escape to higher ground, they would have been swept away as well.
If this is the case in California, then it means that other coastlines on Earth are experiencing significant fluctuations due to the moon's orbital shift.
The same scene will only occur in all coastal areas of the world.
Judging from the current situation, this disaster is probably only a week away...
