"Oh, right, I went to space a few days ago, and I'm planning to go to the moon in a few days."
After chatting for a while about the international situation brought by Li Xingkong, Li Xingkong then talked about his preparations.
"Going by yourself? Then I'll arrange a rocket flight for you right away."
Lou Zhiwu was about to start making arrangements when Li Xingkong waved his hand, signaling him to stop.
"No need. I'm going up myself this time; I don't need a rocket."
"Go up by yourself? You can break through the atmosphere now?"
Lou Zhiwu was somewhat surprised after hearing Li Xingkong's words.
Although he had already considered Li Xingkong's abilities to be as advanced as possible, he really hadn't expected that Li Xingkong could now break through the atmosphere single-handedly.
This ability far exceeded his imagination; even in ancient the Myth about immortals, very few people possessed such abilities.
Li Xingkong smiled but didn't say anything. He stretched out one hand and, in front of Lou Zhiwu, turned it from palm to back of hand.
"Damn, that's a piece of cake."
Lou Zhiwu clearly grasped the point Li Xingkong was trying to make.
"That's right. The reason I'm telling you this is because I've estimated that I can bring about 5,000 tons of supplies with me to the moon this time, so I'm coming to you to make the arrangements."
Li Xingkong said it casually, without the slightest hint of pretentiousness.
But Lou Zhiwu didn't think so.
A solo lunar landing, carrying 5,000 tons of supplies, Li Xingkong alone is equivalent to 200 rocket round trips.
Isn't this just showing off?
Although Li Xingkong's words sounded so simple and honest, they shocked Lou Zhiwu.
"55,000 tons?"
He couldn't believe it and checked again.
"Yes, actually, even more would be fine."
The system gave a minimum requirement of 5,000 tons, but didn't mention an upper limit. Li Xingkong was certainly not satisfied with just barely meeting the requirements; he wanted to take this opportunity to challenge himself and see his true strength.
"Okay, I'll notify the Earthly Capital to make the arrangements right away."
Lou Zhiwu became excited; his hands started trembling as he pressed the keys on his phone—it was all too surreal.
"These supplies need to be packed in boxes or something, otherwise I can't carry them."
Li Xingkong hadn't forgotten that he didn't have a spatial ring yet, so he could only ask them to pack the supplies in a box if possible.
Although he didn't know how big the box would have to be for something weighing 5,000 tons.
After all, this order of magnitude was beyond what he had seen in his daily life, and he had no concept of the volume of such heavy materials.
OK, anything else?
Lou Zhiwu wrote down Li Xingkong's requirements and then relayed the feedback to the Earthly Capital.
"Just bring more basic materials, we'll need to start construction first once we get up there, there's nowhere to put other stuff."
Li Xingkong thought for a moment. The lunar base hadn't even started construction yet, so even if he took a lot of stuff into space, there was nowhere to put it.
It would be outrageous to just pile them up on the surface of the moon like that.
It is easily detected by other countries.
Those who know are aware of the supplies Divine Land dropped on the moon; those who don't might think Divine Land is forcing aliens to grow cotton on the moon.
However, Li Xingkong didn't have many ideas about what specific items to bring. He didn't know much about other industries either, so he left these specific matters to the experts to figure out.
Meanwhile, Old Tang, who had received the message from Lou Zhiwu, was also in a daze.
His mind was completely blank; his usually sharp mind was now a jumbled mess, and he had no idea what he was thinking.
If the original attitude towards Li Xingkong was one of cooperation, respect, and material support...
Now, his strongest feeling towards Li Xingkong is actually fear.
He feared that Li Xingkong's previous behavior was all an act, because he simply couldn't understand how someone with such extraordinary abilities could be so easy to talk to.
Even before that, he had considered using Tang Cheng's modified physique to speculate on Li Xingkong's abilities.
This idea had been secretly implemented after he and Li Xingkong reached an agreement. Several research labs were established within the Earthly Capital specifically to study Li Xingkong's abilities, physique, and how to counter him.
After all, Li Xingkong is a person, and people have subjective consciousness; he is not a machine that can be controlled.
It is only natural to prepare in advance for such a dangerous person.
However, Li Xingkong's repeated actions have delayed the completion of his plan.
Initial estimates suggested that Li Xingkong was merely a mini-superman, capable of at most defending against bullets, but could be taken down by a large-scale barrage of fire.
But as news of Li Xingkong's performance in Wanli Shitang came back, their theoretical framework was overturned time and time again.
By pulling the ship at sea, Li Xingkong's strength level had already increased several levels. This was beyond what could be described as a simple superhuman. If he were placed in a city, he would undoubtedly be the king.
This time, he went into space alone, brought a bunch of stuff back with him, and even casually took down a warship.
The combat power displayed here is beyond human description. Apart from nuclear weapons, he can't even think of any other way to deal with Li Xingkong.
The methods people talk about online for dealing with invincible enemies are just jokes.
To trap someone like that, you first need to be able to beat him.
The research lab he had created to counter Li Xingkong's abilities now seemed completely unnecessary.
Because they had no idea how many more were hidden behind Li Xingkong.
Judging solely by demonstrated abilities is completely unreliable.
After all, the Divine Land People have a lot of trump cards up their sleeves, unlike the superheroes of the United Eagle Country who use whatever abilities they have without holding back.
Although Li Xingkong's request this time was very simple and would greatly advance Divine Land's lunar exploration, it shows that Earth Star is no longer able to hold Li Xingkong back.
He can leave here at any time, in a way that is far more convenient than in any other country.
Therefore, the plan against Li Xingkong needs to be changed from now on.
It's impossible to physically keep him here; the only way is to emotionally connect him with Divine Land, giving him a sliver of connection.
The key to this connection lies in Li Xingkong's family.
However, these can be postponed for now and considered later.
Now, what's giving Old Tang a headache is how to allocate this credit limit.
He was indeed having a bit of a headache; he had never fought such a costly battle before.
In the past, each laboratory had a quota of only a dozen tons, and they could only participate by drawing lots based on luck. Those who were lucky could only participate, while those who were unlucky might never get a chance to participate in a space project in their lifetime.
That's bad. He estimates that even if he crammed all the laboratories in the entire Earthly Capital into it, he still wouldn't be able to fit 5,000 tons.
