The Z's sudden landing on the moon had abruptly quieted down the bustling election in the M nation. Everyone had their eyes set on the moon.
For the M nation's scientific community, this was a rare opportunity to speak out and bring their people into the light through the media. Many well-known scientists and aerospace experts used this chance to explain some things to the public.
"Honestly speaking, we would need another five to ten years to build a space shuttle comparable to the Celestial Maiden," said one scientist. "We have yet to tackle the high-thrust detonation engine technology. We are far behind in high-energy battery technology. As for the high-thrust Hall engine technology, we are only on par with the Z's. In short, we are yet unble to create such an advanced spacecraft."
