To the group on Moon-Chasing Island, the scene before them was as if an enormous meteorite was crashing down on their heads. Moon-Chasing Island, which was originally large enough for them to fight, seemed extremely small in comparison.
Fortunately, Li Xingkong had already positioned Moon-Chasing Island in lunar orbit, instead of having a face-to-face encounter with the moon at a speed of over Mach 30.
Otherwise, the scene would look even more exciting.
The landing of Moon-Chasing Island was a gradual process; Li Xingkong did not directly crash Moon-Chasing Island onto the lunar surface at high speed like a space return capsule.
While this type of landing had little impact on Li Xingkong, the others on the island could not withstand such a violent impact.
Therefore, Li Xingkong needs to adopt a more moderate approach.
There's no need for him to orbit the moon and then slowly descend. Li Xingkong only needs to maintain the same speed as the moon's movement to achieve a relatively stationary state, and he can land safely on the moon.
Although the moon does not have the conditions to form an atmosphere, when Li Xingkong got close enough to the lunar surface, he still felt as if he had stepped into the territory of a planet.
The main reason is probably that after the moon's entire surface could no longer be seen at a glance, it began to feel similar to Earth Star.
Having land beneath one's feet, even though humans have never set foot on it, always brings a sense of security.
Li Xingkong's altitude gradually decreased to about a few hundred meters above the ground before stopping, without landing directly on the lunar surface.
He's already on the moon, but his test isn't over yet.
The assessment clearly stated that he had to deliver Moon-Chasing Island to the lunar base, rather than simply leaving it on the moon.
The journey of a hundred miles is only half complete at ninety. Now, we are just one step away from completing the assessment, and that step is something we can easily accomplish.
Communicating with the ground from here takes more than ten minutes for a single message to travel back and forth. The communication efficiency is indeed quite poor, but considering that this is the moon, there's not much to complain about.
In places like this, you should be grateful for even having a signal; don't expect anything more.
While communicating with the ground to obtain the location of the base, Li Xingkong didn't stay idle. This was his first time on the moon, and since he didn't have any plans at this time, he simply took Moon-Chasing Island and randomly chose a direction to start wandering along the surface.
The surface of the moon is actually quite similar to that of Earth, but under the stimulation of sunlight, it appears to be more dazzling than the surface of Earth Star.
This place felt to Li Xingkong as if he had stepped into a vast desert. As far as the eye could see, there was only desolation, a true desolation, with no signs of life whatsoever.
There were no changes in the mountains and rivers; all that could be seen was endless desertified soil, stretching from the ground beneath our feet all the way to the distant mountain peaks.
The mountains on the moon are quite different from those on Earth Star. The highest mountains on Earth Star are only about 8,000 meters high, while the mountains on the moon are countless, with many exceeding 10,000 meters in height. Countless craters cover the moon, densely packed together, resembling a honeycomb when viewed from a distance.
Because the moon's gravity is much lower than Earth Star's, the mountains here are much steeper, making these peaks extremely dangerous.
After looking around for a while, news came from the ground, telling him the location of the base.
With the base's location known, Li Xingkong stopped wandering aimlessly. He could wander around whenever he wanted, but taking Moon-Chasing Island with him was not as efficient as acting on his own.
Let's get this first island on the moon to where it belongs first.
Li Xingkong is currently located on the near side of the moon, which is the side facing Earth Star. He can see Earth Star not far overhead by simply looking up, while the lunar base is located on the far side of the moon.
Fortunately, the moon is not as big as Earth Star. It may seem far away, but the distance is not as far as he traveled from Hedong to Wanli Shitang.
Taking Moon-Chasing Island with him, Li Xingkong ascended again from a height of several hundred meters, reaching an altitude of several thousand meters before flying towards the base.
It must be said that the mountains on the moon are indeed much more treacherous. Even though Li Xingkong has reached such a height, there are still quite a few mountains blocking his way.
This would never happen on Earth Star.
After another half day, Li Xingkong finally spotted traces of human activity on the ground.
After all, a row of human footprints in an area where no humans have ever lived is indeed quite eye-catching.
Moreover, there is no wind on the lunar surface, so footprints left behind can easily be preserved for decades.
Li Xingkong spotted the footprints from afar in the sky. With these footprints, he no longer needed to painstakingly search for the base location himself; he could simply trace back along the direction the footprints came from.
Following the footprints from where he came from, Li Xingkong flew about 20 kilometers in the corresponding direction until he finally saw traces of man-made structures.
While Li Xingkong saw the structures on the lunar surface, the first group of people working on the lunar surface also saw the islands flying in from the sky.
Although they had already learned from the ground that Li Xingkong had brought an entire island to the moon to support them, they were still taken aback when the island actually appeared before their eyes.
This size is called an island? It's way too "small".
As Li Xingkong landed, the silhouette of Moon-Chasing Island grew larger and larger in their eyes. Just as the island was about to hit the ground, Li Xingkong emerged from Moon-Chasing Island.
Where will Moon-Chasing Island be located? Do you have any plans for it?
As the first group of lunar landing personnel gathered around, Li Xingkong spoke.
Of course, there is no air on the moon, so speaking is impossible. However, Li Xingkong can see electromagnetic signals. He directly converts what he wants to say into corresponding electromagnetic signals and transmits them to the listening devices of everyone on the moon.
"This way."
They had already planned the locations for the supplies delivered from the ground.
Li Xingkong looked in the direction the man was pointing. It was a towering mountain wall in a ring-shaped mountain, with the wall and the ground forming a right angle. The place where the supplies were stored was in the angle formed by the mountain wall and the ground.
There are also several natural caves on the mountainside. It seems that these caves were also requisitioned by the first group of lunar landing crew members, presumably for storing supplies.
Li Xingkong carried Moon-Chasing Island to the designated location, and after everyone had moved far away, Li Xingkong slowly lowered the Moon-Chasing Island down.
After the mountain peaks at the bottom of the island were submerged in the lunar soil, Li Xingkong used his Magic Power to envelop the entire island and then applied downward pressure, pressing the inverted lower half of the island's peaks into the lunar soil.
Now, Moon-Chasing Island and the moon are one entity, which reduces a lot of subsequent problems.
The system's voice rang out the instant Li Xingkong put down the Moon-Chasing Island.
"Congratulations! You have passed the primary school level test perfectly. Your eligibility for secondary school is now open."
