" Brother Li, I know you don't understand the purpose of our mission to the moon, let me explain it to you."
At this point, a smug smile flashed across Tang Cheng's face.
" Brother Li, are you familiar with the Outer Space Treaty?"
When the topic came up, Tang Cheng first asked Li Xingkong a question.
"I've heard of it; it's something about an agreement on outer space."
Li Xingkong had only heard of this thing when he was in school, and he only knew its name. As for what it actually did, he had no idea.
" Outer Space Treaty stipulate that outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, belongs to all of humanity, and no country can declare outer space as its territory."
After a brief introduction to the main contents of the treaty, Li Xingkong finally understood. It turned out that the treaty restricted all countries on Earth Star from forcibly occupying other planets.
What's the point of this treaty? Given the current state of affairs on Earth Star, only Divine Land has the capability to land on the moon. While the Eagle Country used to have that capability, it's long since forgotten about it. Big Hair isn't really interested in this anymore.
It seems that this treaty only applies to Divine Land.
Even if Divine Land were to directly go to the moon for construction and there was nothing other countries could do, Divine Land is not yet the dominant power on Earth Star and still needs to consider the opinions of other countries.
"But what does that have to do with you?"
This treaty doesn't seem to have much to do with Tang Cheng and his group going to the moon; it's not really related to them.
"Hehe, where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure. The Outer Space Treaty stipulates that Earth Star countries cannot occupy the Moon, so as long as we're not Earth Star country, it's fine."
Tang Cheng pronounced the words "Earth Star" very clearly.
"So, what is this?"
Li Xingkong roughly guessed what Tang Cheng meant.
"I am not very talented, but I have created a complete lunar script and its corresponding pronunciation. I am currently compiling historical documents and records about the Xi People, and it will be completed soon."
"This is an ancient the Myth; he is responsible for perfecting the historical records of the entire Xi People and for the excavation of related artifacts."
Li Xingkong naturally understood what Tang Cheng meant by "organizing and excavating"—it was simply making things up on the spot.
It seems the West's nihilistic historiography is now being used against them in its entirety.
" The Xi People? That name..."
Li Xingkong certainly wouldn't object to this approach, since it would also benefit him.
"This comes from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Di Jun's wife, Chang Xi, gave birth to twelve moons, and this was the first time they were bathed."
"Given that early human societies were also matriarchal, we will tentatively name the lunar people this way."
"So, this time we're not just going to the moon, we're also going to transform ourselves into lunar inhabitants?"
Li Xingkong finally understood: this was a plan to have his group of people go up and then transform themselves into lunar people.
"Yes, this operation will be a classified mission. After we complete the necessary construction, another group of lunar explorers will conduct lunar exploration, and then we will officially announce the establishment of diplomatic relations Divine Land and the lunar population."
"The Moon will be recognized as the legitimate territory of us Moon People, by most of the current nations of Earth Star."
Regarding this plan, Li Xingkong said that it's up to them to play dirty tricks; he himself doesn't have the brains for it.
He was only thinking about how to get to the moon; he hadn't really considered the issue of any legitimate claim.
"Will the Eagle Country recognize it? If only Divine Land recognizes it, then its legitimacy isn't sufficient, is it?"
" Eagle Country recognizes us or not is not important. Divine Land already has quite a few countries supporting it, and a significant number of third-world countries now follow Divine Land's lead. Moreover, for subsequent lunar exploration, we can bring several people from other countries with us. After all, by then, we will be fully prepared."
This plan was clearly the result of extensive discussions.
Although the moon is currently a double-edged sword for the nations of Earth Star —neither useful nor worth abandoning—once it is fully terraformed, there will be no shortage of nations on Earth Star that will have designs on it.
Although with his current strength, he might be able to sweep across the entire Earth Star by then and wouldn't need to care about these rules and regulations.
But it's clearly not quite right now; it's best to put on an act when necessary.
"If we were the Eagle Country, this reason wouldn't hold water. The traditional skill of the Eagle Country is to exterminate the natives."
Tang Cheng also made a joke that was downright horrible.
Having learned the reason why Tang Cheng and his team went to the moon, Li Xingkong's doubts were all resolved. No wonder the composition of the lunar landing team was so strange. Judging from this, besides Tang Cheng, these architects must have also done relevant architectural design.
The purpose was to distinguish themselves from the cultural style of Earth Star and to create a fictional cultural race that has been passed down on the Moon since ancient times.
"In that case, should we also make some adjustments to my appearance?"
Since these details have been taken into consideration, has the exterior design also been considered?
"No need. With your magic, Brother Li, this is already a very obvious difference from the Earth Star People. After all, in modern people's understanding, no one can survive in a vacuum."
When the time comes, as long as we appear on the moon, we will have already proven this point.
It seems that someone has already raised this issue and received a positive response, so Li Xingkong didn't ask any further questions.
With so many preparations, they are perfectly capable of legally occupying the moon.
The most important thing is that they have the support of Divine Land behind them. If they don't have anyone backing them, then no matter how well they are prepared, it will be useless.
Only power can give you a voice in the world.
Having learned the details of this first lunar landing mission, Li Xingkong introduced himself to everyone present.
These people are basically top scholars in their respective fields, and they are well aware of the tasks they are about to undertake, and they are all prepared to accept reform.
After learning about these people, Li Xingkong was very impressed by their knowledge and learning attitude. Even without the motivation of cultivation, they still managed to study every day and strive for their goals. Their talent was far superior to his own.
Never underestimate anyone. Even Tang Cheng, whom he thought was a slacker, was just as decisive and efficient when it came to professional matters.
