A few days later, at dusk, a brand-new garden-style manor stood on the outskirts of Modu's old city. The villa inside was renovated from a very retro-style building.

At this time, Su Mo, wearing pajamas, stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking into the distance.

An incredibly spectacular scene came into view. The old city ruins, which had been flattened, had been replaced by a brand-new interstellar airport. The giant, all-metal integrated terminal buildings were fifty meters high on each floor, making it clear that they were not designed to accommodate normal airplanes.

Su Mo had done some research. The Federation had planned a total of twenty-four interstellar airports, eighteen of which were being built in...

"Immediately resupply the ship and prepare for departure in twelve hours."

Long Ming issued the order decisively.

"Yes!"

......

Twelve hours later, the Pusher had completed its resupply.

Inside the control room, Zhang Wei and the others were seated at their respective stations. Two reporters, carrying live broadcast equipment, stood nervously to the side.

With everything ready, Zhang Wei turned to look at Long Ming.

"Let's go."

Upon receiving the instruction, Zhang Wei issued orders in an orderly manner.

"Close all entry hatches."

"Break through the outer sealed passage."

"Activate the Cs1 Fusion Power Unit..."

"Activating, power output normal."

"Check all lines and circuits."

"r1-r2342 line normal..."

"Activate anti-gravity assist system, ejection device ready to activate."

.........

As one operational command after another was issued, the special device openings at the bottom of the Pusher opened, and the massive Pusher slowly floated up. Immediately afterward, the thrusters at the rear ignited.

The Pusher began to slowly move away from the interstellar airport.

Long Ming and Olgulas stood on the observation deck, watching the city and the land gradually shrink, their hearts also rising.

It would be a lie to say they weren't nervous. They weren't too worried about their own safety, but more concerned about the fate of all humanity.

......

Before long, the Pusher broke through the atmosphere and left Earth, arriving in the vast expanse of space.

The moment they flew out into space, through the observation telescope, they immediately saw the magnificent Ring City, its halo emitting such brilliance and dazzling light, like the sun.

At this time, Zhang Wei quickly entered commands on the console to set the flight path, while issuing the order: "Full speed ahead, target Ring City."

"Understood!"

Many operators responded.

At this time, the two reporters swallowed hard, steeled themselves, walked to Long Ming's side, and asked.

"Council Speaker, shall we start broadcasting?"

"Broadcast! Everyone deserves to know what's happening."

Long Ming replied calmly.

"Yes!"

The reporters then began to adjust their equipment.

Soon, the live broadcast footage was transmitted back to Earth.

At this time, Su Mo was sitting at home watching TV, waiting for the latest developments.

Suddenly, a live broadcast was inserted into the TV program. A rather young reporter said excitedly, "Dear viewers, I am Federal News reporter Nick, and I am here to broadcast the latest developments of the Sky Cup. As you can see, I am in the control room of a spaceship called the Pusher, which is the ultimate reward for winning the Earth Cup. Now, the Federal Speaker, along with many council members, are on their way to the Ring City. You may not be clear on what the Ring City is."

"In fact, I don't know what that place is either, but that's okay. I can point the camera towards the observation telescope so everyone can take a look."

As he spoke, the image began to turn.

In the distance, everyone could see a spinning top-shaped mechanical city, but because the distance was a bit far, it was not very clear.

"Right now, due to the distance, we can't see it very clearly, but that's okay. When we get closer, I will present the Ring City to everyone in a comprehensive way. Now, let me tell you about the situation. The target ship is moving at sub-light speed and is expected to arrive at the Ring City in seven hours. According to what I learned from the doctor on board, the technology of this Pusher leads our current technology by at least five hundred years, but this ship is very likely not the highest technological achievement of the Ring City. It is estimated that the technology inside the Ring City may be of a completely different era than ours."

"Therefore, if the communication goes smoothly and we really win the Sky Cup, perhaps our civilization can truly be reborn..."

.....

Nick kept explaining.

Su Mo watched the live broadcast footage and couldn't help but give Long Ming and the Federation's upper-level council members a thumbs up.

He didn't expect the Federation to choose to go and accept the invitation publicly this time, instead of going alone.

They were really planning to be transparent, without any cover-ups, and were prepared to unite all of humanity to face this Sky Cup.

Su Mo walked to the refrigerator, took out instant noodles and a drink, and decided to stay at home all day watching the live broadcast.

His heart was becoming more and more excited. Now that interstellar spaceships were real, then mecha must also exist. Just the thought of being able to actually touch a mecha made the blood in Su Mo's body boil involuntarily.

After getting everything ready, Su Mo picked up his phone and glanced at the Xinghuan forum. The forum was still super lively, with countless players posting and discussing the Ring City and the Sky Cup.

From the initial panic, they had gradually adapted and were starting to look forward to the beautiful future that was about to come.

Of course, there were also many more rational people who used words to douse their fantasies.

"Don't have too many beautiful ideas. Think carefully, the difficulty of the Earth Cup must be lower than the Sky Cup, right? Even if we win, how many people will ultimately survive, let alone the Sky Cup? And the worst thing is, this is the real world, not the world of the Earth Cup, where you can be resurrected after death..."
