"Are there really gods in this world?"
Lu En couldn't remember how many times he had asked himself this question.
It is a pity that this question has never been answered, and it can only be troubled in my heart day and night, unable to let go.
If it was a year ago, someone told him in front of him that there are gods in this world.
Then he will smile kindly, nod slightly, and tell the other person that he still has work to do and does not need faith.
But if someone stood in front of him and said this to him now, he might not smile again.
He will become solemn and thoughtful, and will determine the identity of the person, and then investigate the other person to confirm whether what he said is true.
Because he has begun to waver.
What he has seen and heard in recent times has allowed Lu En to gradually overturn the previously established world view and begin to explore another, more mysterious and extraordinary realm.
However, whether it was a alien species or a transcendent being, he had never connected it with the so-called gods.
Although these things are surprising, in the final analysis they are well-founded.
Even if it cannot be explained by science yet, if it is regarded as science fiction, it can still make sense in at least some aspects of logic.
But a few months ago, when he saw the huge angel with six wings, he finally couldn't sit still.
No matter which angle you look at it, the other party has nothing to do with mutation or science fiction.
That appearance is simply the most representative feature, and there is no need for any other proof.
At this point, Lu En also began to doubt his own judgment.
This is true even for him, the director of the hurricane bureau, not to mention those believers and pastors.
According to relevant surveys, in the month after the Seraphim appeared, the number of visits to the church increased by 21 times compared with before.
I have to say, this is really an astonishing number.
But the appearance of the Holy Angel seemed to be short-lived.
Lu En has never seen each other since then. On the contrary, the legendary immortal cultivator and ancient martial arts in the East have become the mainstream topic, triggering national discussion.
Now, Lu En only felt that the information he had was too little.
Even in the underground shelter in Button City, many alien species have been accommodated.
Some results have even been obtained through research on them.
But compared to that mysterious organization and China, I was really far away.
Raising his head and staring at the huge spear on the screen, Lu En silently strengthened his determination in his heart.
This time, I and others have put in so much effort to decipher the secrets on the far side of the moon and find an extraordinary path that belongs to the United States.
…
Huasheng stew time, 2:48 pm.
Location, far side of the moon, coordinates 237.47; 126.54.
The new Apollo 1 spacecraft.
The hatch at the bottom was opened, and a folding passage protruded and extended, and then spread on the ground.
The white inner valve slowly opened, and five figures in heavy space suits stood behind it, waiting for the valve to completely rise to the top.
"This is the new Apollo 1, and I am the captain of this operation, Tony Michelit Ramsey. I have now opened the hatch and am about to start the moon landing."
"Also involved in the mission were Deputy Captain Maximilian Hirsch, Engineer Swaro Auld, Surveyor Leden Abbott, and Safety Officer John Ottos."
"This lunar landing process will be recorded in its entirety so as to serve as important information data and effective basis for space exploration."
"..."
In front of the cabin door, the leader, a white man, was talking nonstop into the headset.
He is the captain of this operation, Tony Michelit Ramsey.
This time he will also lead the engineering team to complete the "New Apollo Project" and "Longinus Project".
The other end of the communicator is connected to the NASA Aerospace Center located in the suburbs of Button City, USA.
At this time, in the headquarters of the aviation center, hundreds of elites in related fields were watching the situation there intently.
No one spoke or made any noise, as if even breathing could not come out.
I was afraid that any movement I made would affect this crucial moment.
"The consultation record has been completed, all equipment has been checked, and action is now underway."
At the aircraft hatch, team leader Tony took a deep breath, looked ahead, and prepared to set foot on the moon.
"Ramsey, wait!"
Behind him, a companion called out to him.
"What's wrong? Ottos?"
Tony subconsciously stopped and turned to look at the man.
The other people also looked over, obviously his sudden words frightened everyone.
"Hey, guys! Don't be so nervous. There is no danger here... I just want to say that this is the second time humans have set foot on the moon. Don't you have anything to say before taking action? For example,' That’s one small step for me, one giant leap for mankind’ or something like that?”
Safety John Ottos said in a relaxed tone.
When Tony heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a little helplessness:
"Okay, Ottos, you win...but you are the safety officer of this operation after all, and your reminder really made us jump..."
He paused for a moment, as if he was planning to think about what to say about his first words before setting foot on the moon.
"Aha! That's it! Ramsey, I think you have already said it! I think this sentence is very good, okay, you can go out, no need to change it!"
Ottos suddenly laughed in the communication channel, leaving everyone else a little confused.
"What? Didn't you hear? He just said his first speech when humans set foot on the moon for the second time! I've written it all down!"
Seeing that everyone was confused, Ottos made some operations on his device and played a recording.
"Okay, Otto, you win..."
Tony's voice rang in the headset again, the recording the safety officer had just played.
"Look, it's this sentence, 'Othos, you win', do you hear that? This will go down in history as the first words spoken by humans after they set foot on the moon for the second time!"
Ottos said excitedly.
Everyone was shocked by his coquettish behavior. They felt that what he said made sense, but they were speechless.
In the command center, some people couldn't help but chuckle at this, and the tense atmosphere was relieved a lot for a while.
"Okay, that's it."
Tony shrugged nonchalantly.
He felt that he had never lacked a sense of humor, and this sentence was somewhat interesting, so he simply stopped arguing with the other party.
The interruption was over, and everyone got back to business, and everyone started taking action again.
Tony walked out of the hatch immediately and stood on the moon.
Feeling the real touch under his feet, he felt that all the efforts he had made these days were worth it.
Secret screening, cruel competition, and strict special training. In the end, he even joined the research and development of the spacecraft and contributed his own share.
At this moment, Tony felt that he had no regrets in this life, and that this incident would become the greatest honor in his life.
He couldn't help but smile at the thought of his children being able to proudly tell others, "My dad has been on the moon."
"The landing was successful. Operations will begin now. Please stay within 50 meters of the new Apollo 1. All personnel should pay attention to the condition of their seat belts and do not move alone away from the team."
Tony gave the order to everyone, and all five people present started to move.
Surveying, equipment setup, security deployment... everything was proceeding in an orderly manner as if it had been rehearsed countless times.
Not only them, but the remaining astronauts in the spacecraft were also busy, and the expressions on everyone's faces were so meticulous.
"The temperature and gravity have been confirmed, the transportation pipeline has been connected, and the scanning radar has been installed. Now we are launching infrastructure. Please confirm the target location."
"Wait! Wait! It's not possible now! Damn it! This is an anorthosite area, and the bile alum content exceeds the standard. It is not suitable as a location for building a base. We have to go a little further over there!"
Raiden Abbott, the surveyor in the team, suddenly shouted.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look where he was pointing.
That was the direction in which Longinus' spear lay.
"No! According to intelligence, there is a certain degree of magnetic interference there. Our previous lunar rover lost contact there, so we can only go back!"
Tony declined his offer.
Abbott still insisted:
"Other directions will not work. I just looked at this area. Those directions are all anorthosite areas. Our base cannot be built on them. We can only move closer to the target location!"
"this……"
Hearing what he said, Tony was stumped for a moment.
Establishing a small base was an important plan that had been made before arriving.
And then there will be three people staying here to carry out one-year lunar exploration work.
But unfortunately, the place where he and others landed turned out to be an anorthosite area. The construction of the building could not be completed smoothly, and the target point had to be changed.
But the new Apollo 1 has landed and can no longer move at all. It can only find a new target location nearby.
But if he continued to approach the Gun of Longinus, he was worried that he would encounter interference from the abnormal magnetic field and cause unnecessary trouble.
The headquarters also immediately learned of the difficulties encountered by everyone, and various experts began to urgently discuss response plans.
Lu En couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw this.
There's no way around it. Landing on the moon is inherently difficult. Plus, being far away from logistics, it's understandable that we'll encounter various situations.
In other words, these situations are not even accidents, they can only be considered normal and expected problems.
Soon, the expert team came up with a plan.
The plan was simple, just do what Rayden Abbott said.
However, before that, the lunar rover must be arranged for exploration. After confirming that the signal transmission is normal, the astronauts can follow them to the deployment base.
After receiving the order, everyone quickly made arrangements.
This time the new Apollo carried three lunar rovers, one of which was directly activated and dispatched to check whether the condition of the target area was good.
"No problem! The signal transmission is normal! And from the image, there is no abnormality in the soil there. We can go and build it!"
Raiden said excitedly.
Everyone also went back to prepare, and then drove a lunar rover and a base vehicle directly over to start the construction work.
Along the way, safety officer Ottos also guarded them very conscientiously.
Unlike ordinary astronauts, Ottos belongs to the military hierarchy, and his main responsibility is to be responsible for the safety of these people during this operation.
To this end, the Hurricane Bureau has specially equipped him with special equipment to deal with possible dangerous situations.
According to normal logic, astronauts will not carry weapons. After all, no one would think that it is necessary to carry weapons in space.
But this time the situation was different, because the existence of the Gun of Longinus made them feel unusual to a certain extent.
Therefore, for safety reasons, the Aerospace Center specially equipped the team with a fully armed safety officer for this trip.
The target area planned by Rayden Abbott was about two kilometers away from the landing site of the new Apollo. It took the base vehicle everyone took more than ten minutes to arrive, and the speed was very slow.
"This is it! Stop the car!"
Abbott yelled and jumped out as soon as the car stopped.
Although the spacesuit is bulky, the gravity on the moon reduces this burden, making it not so difficult for him to move.
Using the instrument in his hand to measure, Abbott soon happily brought the good news to everyone.
"The location here is very good, it can be used as a base location!"
"Okay! Let's stay here then! Come to work!"
Tony also jumped down and organized everyone to start deploying the base vehicle.
In fact, it is said to be a base vehicle, but in fact this thing is not as advanced as imagined.
It is even more impossible to be like in the game, where you can directly press a button to fully automatically expand and form a high-tech platform.
This base vehicle is more like a RV that contains a large amount of supplies. Almost everything on it needs to be installed manually, which is quite troublesome to operate.
An hour and a half later, with the joint efforts of four people, a base that could allow people to survive on the moon for three years was completed.
If you just look at it from the outside, it is better to say that it is a base. It is better to say that it is an RV camp that is composed of super large RVs and various accessories.
"Okay, our base is completed. Let's rest for two hours before starting to implement the Longinus Plan!"
In the base, Tony issued new instructions to everyone.
