"But...the team leader...sending instructions to travelers requires approval from the competent department. We have no right to directly dispatch..."
Beside, a researcher reminded in a low voice.
John directly ignored his words and joked, this situation is a rare one in a thousand years, how could he give up just because of this.
Everyone first retrieved the photos taken by the lunar rover, but perhaps because the distance was too close, nothing could be seen on them. All that caught the eye was a vast expanse of white. This was obviously because the golden light was too strong. caused.
"Quick! Quick! Is the Voyager's control console connected? Let's drive over now to see what's going on over there!"
John said impatiently.
The surrounding researchers were also eager to give it a try. One of the team members responsible for controlling the lunar rover switched to the real-time broadcast interface and controlled the rover to go to the place where the golden light appeared.
Generally speaking, there are two types of lunar rovers. One is for scientific research and is mainly responsible for collecting and surveying the lunar soil on the lunar surface and transmitting the data back to Aquamarine.
The speed of this kind of car is often very slow. At full speed, it may not exceed 200 meters per hour.
The other type is different. They are mainly responsible for mapping the area on the lunar surface, recording and transmitting terrain and related data back to the headquarters. To put it bluntly, they are pathfinders.
Such cars are different. They have certain requirements in terms of speed and stability, and the fastest speed can reach more than ten kilometers per hour.
Of course, a speed of more than ten kilometers would appear weak anywhere on Aquamarine, but you must know that the environment it works in is the moon, and the gravity, road conditions, temperature, energy, etc. are all very different from Aquamarine. Then everything makes sense again.
Voyager's speed is very fast, at least among its peers, it is already among the best.
It started from the original location and traveled for thirty hours before reaching its predetermined location across a distance of hundreds of kilometers.
For more than thirty hours, the situation here has naturally been known to the top management of the space agency.
As John expected, his overstepping of authority was not punished and criticized, but rewarded by senior leaders.
Not only the space agency, but also the US government attaches great importance to this. Some members of Congress even called in person to inquire about the situation. Lu En, the director of the Hurricane Bureau, who is the person in charge of the field of abnormal events, is naturally also paying attention.
He led several of his confidants to the scene immediately and expressed great concern about the incident.
And among the confidants he brought, Beru, who is currently the only transcendent in the Hurricane Bureau, is naturally among them.
"Team leader, we are blocked by a circular hillside in front of us. The terrain here is very steep. I'm afraid there will be an accident if we drive over hastily!"
Gale, who was in charge of the Voyager, spoke, and a difficult problem was placed in front of him.
John walked over in two steps and stood behind him, staring at the screen in front of him.
"No, this crater is too big. We don't have time to waste any more. We have to find a way to get around it!"
After observing for a while, the expression on his face was extremely solemn.
Finally, he frowned and said to Gale:
"The current terrain seems to have a light rare earth structure, which has low friction and is easy to loosen... You open the filter plate, put down the No. 3 and No. 5 brackets, adjust the rear tires to triangle mode, and accelerate up with all your strength!"
In front of him, Gale and several other researchers were also operating quickly according to his method. Their hands were flying on the keyboard and joystick in front of them. The hurricane bureau and others who were watching on the side were also nervous.
"Success!"
Finally, with Gale's scream, the Voyager finally reached the top of the hillside and successfully climbed over the last obstacle blocking everyone.
"We succeeded! Haha! Team leader, you have to go back..."
Gale was still smiling playfully and wanted to take the opportunity to rip off his boss, but he suddenly stopped in the middle of his words and fell into a daze while looking at the picture displayed in front of the screen.
"Oh...buy...embarrassing!! What the hell is this!!!"
He muttered to himself subconsciously, then suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help but burst out in exclamation.
There were many researchers on the side who were analyzing other reports. At this time, they were also startled by Gale's high-pitched voice, and they all turned their heads to look at him.
A few people who reacted quickly realized what was happening and quickly ran over, standing behind them and watching.
On the display screen right in front of Gale, as the lunar rover gradually climbed to the top, the perspective was adjusted, and the scene on the back of the mountain was also introduced to the eye.
What appeared in front of him was a flat ground, without the common potholes on the back of the moon. Everything was so neat and smooth, as if someone had gently rubbed it smooth on a rough beach.
But if it were just like this, it would not be enough to make the people present collectively eclipse. What shocked them the most was the blurry figure standing at the end of their line of sight in the distance.
"Zoom in! Zoom in! Quickly bring it up and see! What on earth is this!"
John shouted.
But there was no need for him to remind him. Gale had already taken action immediately.
As a series of pictures were processed for clarity, the towering figure in the distance finally revealed its true appearance in front of everyone.
"This, this, this...how is this possible...how is this possible..."
John's lips trembled, he was so shocked by what he saw in front of him that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"How could it be like this...how could it be like this...why is there this thing on the back of the moon...who put it there...is there really an alien civilization in this world..."
On the side, Lu En grabbed the back of the chair in front of him, staring at the thing in the picture. His fingers seemed to be pinching through the solid wood armchair.
It was a spear, a hundred meters tall, and it looked like a spear that pierced through the heavens and the earth.
One end of it pierces the earth diagonally, and the whole body is silvery white. Under the sunlight in the distance, it looks so sacred and inviolable.
"The Spear of Longinus! It's the Spear of Longinus! Is there really a god in this world? Is this a weapon given to us by the gods!!?"
Someone screamed.
But no one had any intention of blaming him, because now everyone was in a state of brain failure, and they never thought that they would see such a scene behind the hillside.
This is simply beyond their current knowledge. This is no longer an ordinary astronomical lunar exploration operation. If this news is spread, you can imagine what kind of sensation it will cause.
Human beings have always thought that they were the only lonely group in the solar system. Since the birth of astronomy, human beings have been searching for the secrets of outer space.
However, the long-term search has not yielded any rewards. Scientists use various means to understand this universe and find other life in the universe.
But it is a pity that all this is in vain and there is no result.
Thousands of years have passed, and no definite evidence of the existence of aliens has been found among humans on Aquamarine. This has gradually led everyone to believe that maybe humans are really alone, and that there is indeed no existence in this universe. Aliens exist...
Otherwise, why haven't they found us after so long...?
This idea is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind. Just like magic only exists in fantasy works, aliens have gradually become unrealistic.
However, just today, under the witness of everyone in the space agency, they saw a certain picture through Voyager 7 on the moon, a picture that completely collapsed their outlook on life.
A spear, a hundred-meter-long spear, it is absolutely impossible for humans to use it. The only explanation is that those who use it are aliens, or even...gods...
In some folk legends, the god came from somewhere in outer space. When he arrived on the earth, he fell in love with the ocean here, so he created life, and the earliest humans were born.
After the god created all this, he left in a hurry. His name can no longer be verified. In other words, he left countless identities in this world - Jehovah, Zeus, Heaven, etc., and all human beings have different identities for the gods. You know, they are just traces of His existence.
However, after the gods left, the demons discovered this planet full of life. They wanted to devour the life here to satisfy their endless desires.
Weak humans could not resist the powerful demons. The demons launched a great flood and destroyed the once brilliant civilization in an instant...
Just when all the fire was about to be extinguished, a man named Longinus stood up.
He claimed to have received revelation from the gods in his sleep and controlled the power to fight evil, but he also needed a weapon so that he could defeat those demons.
And the weapon he needs is a huge spear one hundred meters long on the back side of the moon.
Using the altar built by his tribe, Longinus finally landed on the moon and obtained the spear.
The power of the spear was unparalleled. Longinus returned from the moon and fought with the demons for seven days and nights with the spear, and finally destroyed all the monsters.
But Longinus himself died from his injuries.
Before he died, he followed the will of the gods and inserted the spear back behind the moon, in order to prevent greedy people from coveting it, and also so that when he encounters the devil again in the future, a brave man can go to the moon and pull out the spear. save the world.
This story ends here. Strictly speaking, this cannot be considered a household story. At least in the Eastern Hemisphere, most people do not know the legend about this gun.
It is only here in the United States that a small number of people have heard of this, but unlike the mainstream beliefs, most people just listen to it as a legend, and no one really believes in it. .
This is actually a bit similar to Chinese picture book stories such as "Journey to the West".
However, such a legend has really appeared in front of everyone today.
That majestic figure standing between heaven and earth could not be a product of the Aqua Blue Planet. Human beings currently do not have the ability to send such a huge thing to that kind of place.
The only explanation is that this legend is true!
"No, this is impossible... We have also explored the back of the moon before, but we have not discovered its existence at all. When did it appear here...?"
John said with some disbelief.
On the side, Toby, a fat middle-aged man, spoke.
"Perhaps, this is because it didn't want us to discover it at the beginning..."
"You don't want us to find it? What do you mean? Then why now..."
John stopped mid-sentence. Quite simply, he also thought of a sentence in the legend.
"When the devil invades the world again, Longinus will appear, and the real warrior will find him on the back of the moon and save the world!"
When John said this, everyone in the room changed their expressions.
"You, you mean... the reason why we didn't find it before was because it didn't want us to find it... and now it suddenly appears because..."
He swallowed hard, looked into Toby's eyes, and said the answer at the same time:
"The devil is coming!"
…
The scene became quiet for a while, and you could hear a needle drop.
Lu En's face turned pale and red, and he was already filled with turmoil.
Compared to these researchers who knew nothing, as the director of the Hurricane Bureau, he naturally knew much more.
Since the first monster attack on humans a few months ago, the world has changed in his eyes.
The common sense of the past needs to be broken. Those monsters that only exist in horror stories appear one after another. Even a determined person will change his three views because of this.
At first, Lu En still firmly believed that all this was due to some technological anomalies, just like what was filmed in science fiction movies, but it was just a mutation caused by receiving some kind of radiation.
However, when he saw the man on that mysterious island, his faith collapsed.
The destructive power displayed by the other party cannot be achieved by any mutation. It is more like a kind of magic, a supernatural magical power.
Later, Lu En received some news from Hu Hu of the Alien Department. Through this news, he learned that the monsters that appeared in this world were called alien species, and they were terrifying monsters from another dimension...
In the near future, the number of such monsters will continue to increase. Although the other party did not explain the specific reasons, he really felt the feeling of a storm approaching.
Therefore, Lu En knew that no matter whether the so-called legend of Longinus was true or false, at least one thing worth confirming was that the "devil" might really be coming...
