Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 617 - 573: Slap Him Hard!

Lin Yi was busy inside Warehouse No. 3.

Seeing that his upgraded spaceship was nearly perfect, he was just waiting for the final supply replenishments to be completed before embarking on the journey to space.

However, at this moment, the outside world, specifically the internet, was already flooded with a particular event.

It could be said that the headlines of major domestic media outlets were unanimously reporting one specific news.

And that was the sudden announcement by the Beautiful Country to abandon the use of the International Space Station and declare the beginning of construction on a brand new independent space station.

Logically speaking, this would be considered their private affair.

The main point is that the current International Space Station has clearly entered a period of decline, so the Beautiful Country wanting to independently develop its own space station is not without reason.

But the reason this news instantly went viral nationwide was their simultaneous announcement of two other plans.

Firstly, they declared that in order to stabilize peace in the Middle East, they would develop space station-based ground weapons.

With this move, this is certainly not a trivial matter, since space stations are floating in mid-air and can pose a threat not just to the Middle East region.

So it can be said that their intentions are clear to everyone. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Because of this, it instantly sparked outrage among the public, who began to curse this obvious bandit-like behavior.

Moreover, there's a third plan, which is to restart the manned lunar landing program.

According to their plan, in three years, they aim to send their astronauts back to the moon and stay there for at least one week!

This news immediately caused an uproar across various countries, as the plan is overwhelmingly ambitious.

If the other party could successfully land on the moon and maintain presence there for a week, it's evident that this would put the Beautiful Space Agency once again at the center of global attention.

It would also demonstrate that their technology remains unparalleled in the world.

Of course, if it were just these matters, it wouldn't concern Lin Yi too much, since he's still just a student, a merchant.

But what everyone didn't expect was that besides announcing these three things, the Beautiful Space Agency also threw in some banter.

Their exact words were:

"The reason we've made a quick decision to develop our independent space station and restart the lunar landing plan is thanks to that kid from Huaxia's Nuclear Creation Group.

This kid is advancing quickly, giving us a slight sense of crisis.

If we don't speed up, we might soon be overtaken by them."

While the speaker's tone was relaxed and casual, anyone could tell it was a mockery aimed at Lin Yi.

As for why they said, 'If we don't speed up, we'll be overtaken by Lin Yi', clearly the implication is: your technology may be powerful, recognized globally, but to us, it's just minor tinkering that still falls short of our true capabilities.

Moreover, if you look at the whole affair, they meant to convey another point.

That no matter how much Lin Yi from the Nuclear Creation Group fusses, it's all just squabbling over a small patch of earth.

As for us, our target is directly in space, something you'll never catch up to.

After all, this is the scale difference, my vision is always broader than yours.

Those familiar with history can easily see that the operations by the Beautiful Country now are reminiscent of their past space race with the Soviet Union.

Initially, when this news reached Huaxia, people didn't find it too surprising nor paid much attention.

However, once they heard those folks bragging, they couldn't stay silent anymore.

As a result, a large number of netizens started @mentioning the Nuclear Creation Group and Lin Yi online.

Currently, the Nuclear Creation Community is filled with messages for Lin Yi.

As for the content of these messages, they're naturally requesting Lin Yi to overthrow them.

To them, Lin Yi is a god-like figure.

They may have doubts about other things, but when it comes to technological prowess, no one compares to Lin Yi.

But at this moment, Lin Yi was completely unaware of this online frenzy.

It wasn't until his phone rang and he got a call from Li Huiqun that he became aware of the situation.

"Boss, take a look online. Someone from the Beautiful Country has declared war on you! Should we respond?"

On the phone, Li Huiqun's tone uncharacteristically had a hint of anger, clearly revealing his displeased state.

But what he said puzzled Lin Yi, leaving him clueless about who dared to challenge him—could it be Microsoft?

Currently, the only likely candidate you could think of might be them,

Given that his Celestial Core System has now made it difficult for Microsoft to operate in Huaxia, it wouldn't be unreasonable for them to issue a challenge.

However, opponents like these are meaningless to Lin Yi, not even worth considering.

Or accurately put, they're simply not in the same league.

If Lin Yi really wanted to outdo them, it'd be like an adult versus a newborn child.

No exaggeration, if Lin Yi wished, he could unveil systems from Microsoft's future fifty years, and that would crush their current products outright.

Sitting in his near-earth spacecraft's control center, in his own cozy space chair, Lin Yi casually opened the screen in front of him.

The next moment, the Nuclear Creation Community page appeared on his control panel.

After some browsing, Lin Yi understood the context, shaking his head with a hint of resignation.

Li Huiqun really has a flair for exaggeration, claiming someone issued a challenge—what nonsense.

Yet these ignorant folks are quite restless. Though Lin Yi ignored them, now they're sticking their heads out, inviting a harsh slap—it's truly self-degrading.
