"Adjust the propulsion system..."
"Cheng'e 3, preparing for the last mission..."
"Start landing!"
"Hi~his~"
On the big screen, Chang'e-3 was descending rapidly. When it was completely captured by the moon's gravity, gas began to erupt from the bottom, slowing down its descent.
Seeing that the speed of descent was not slowing down significantly, Engineer Yang quickly said: "Increase the thrust..."
Under his remote control, Chang'e-3 adjusted five times before finally reaching the appropriate landing speed.
"Bang~!"
Chang'e 3 successfully landed without making any noise, but those present felt that there should be a noise here.
"Adjust the camera as I said..." Colonel Chu didn't wait for everyone to feel sad, and immediately stated the new request.
Soon, the big screen was divided into eight pieces, each of which independently displayed a picture.
"Everyone is watching carefully. If there is any abnormal situation, report it as soon as possible!"
Colonel Chu said loudly, his eyes fixed on the third screen, which is the direction of the White Rabbit No. 9 landing point.
"Does this really work?"
Chief Engineer Yang felt that even if there were indeed aliens, they wouldn't be so stupid. How could people fall for such an obvious trap? !
Moreover, this time Chang'e 3 is a purely electronic device with no life breath, so it may not be able to attract aliens.
Although he did not hold out hope for this operation, Chief Engineer Yang still looked at the fifth big screen dutifully. This lens was tilted upward, and a small half of the screen showed the dark outer space. Correspondingly, the horizon that could be seen was longer. farther.
Thirty minutes passed.
"My eyes are sore..."
"How much longer do we have to watch?!"
The staff were energetic at first, but as time went by and there was no change in the scene, they began to feel a little tired.
Colonel Chu frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with these people. Without taking his eyes off the screen, he said, "If there is no change for another half an hour, I will ask someone to take over this place..."
At this moment, Chief Engineer Yang suddenly felt that the scene in front of him seemed to be moving.
"If necessary, look at the fifth screen!"
he shouted, staring intently.
Upon hearing this, everyone else was drawn to the fifth screen.
On this screen, where outer space meets the ground, there is a black spot that seems to be moving.
"what is that?!"
Colonel Chu adjusted his glasses, took a few steps closer, and stared at the screen for fear of missing key information.
After more than thirty seconds, the black dot on the screen finally grew to the size of a green bean, allowing everyone to see its true face.
"Stone?!"
Chief Engineer Yang was a little confused. The black dots billowing in the picture were nothing more than a stone.
Assistant Xiao Wang murmured: "It should be a meteorite that was just sucked into the ground..."
There is no wind on the moon, so the boulders must be moving like this due to the influence of gravity.
"It shouldn't be a meteorite. I kept staring at the picture. It didn't appear from outer space, but from the horizon..."
Chief Engineer Yang denied the theory of meteorites and said directly: "The typical lunar rockfall phenomenon should be the movement of rocks caused by lunar earthquakes..."
After knowing that it was just a rock, he felt a little disappointed. After all, as a staff member of the space agency, he had seen many such moving lunar rocks.
Rockfall? !
Colonel Chu didn't believe it and stared at the screen without blinking.
In the picture, the stone is getting bigger and bigger, so big that it occupies one-fifth of the area of the lens, but it is still some distance away from the lens.
Only then did people realize that this was a huge stone, with a diameter of at least ten meters according to visual inspection.
"Wait, what is that?!"
At this time, someone suddenly pointed at the screen and said with a look of horror.
Not only him, but everyone looking at the fifth screen at this moment noticed something unusual.
In the Chang'e-3 lens, a very neat square gap suddenly appeared on the surface of the boulder.
Then, something like a tentacle stretched out from the gap.
"Beep~!"
A faint red light shook the lens, and the next second, all eight screens turned black.
"what happened?!"
"Why did it turn black?!"
Colonel Chu immediately looked at Chief Engineer Yang and found that the other man's face was filled with astonishment just like his.
"Is this supposed to be something that blocks the signal?!"
Chief Engineer Yang asked in disbelief.
Colonel Chu nodded, the look of horror on his face disappeared, replaced by excitement.
"All the video data captured by Chang'e-3 will be backed up and sent to this USB flash drive..."
As he spoke, he paused, looked at the audience, and said loudly: "Let me declare in advance that everything you see today must not be spread to outsiders..."
It didn't seem safe to do so, so he took out his old-style push-button cell phone, dialed a button, and the call was connected.
"Come and seal it!"
After just saying three words, he hung up the phone, believing that someone would come later to sign a confidentiality agreement with someone from the space agency.
The power behind Colonel Chu was very powerful. Within a few minutes of hanging up the phone, a large number of people came in and blocked the scene.
Looking at the group of people around who were full of murderous aura, Mr. Yang understood that this matter was serious.
He was a little worried and asked: "Colonel Chu, if it is confirmed that it is an alien, what should we do?!"
"You don't have to worry about these..."
Colonel Chu thought for a while and then said: "How many spacecrafts are there on the ground that can carry people to the moon?!"
ah? !
Chief Engineer Yang was shocked and said: "Only the White Rabbit No. 9 is officially in service. In addition, there is a backup test machine. It is not sure whether it can go to heaven..."
Colonel Chu nodded, patted Chief Engineer Yang's arm, and said with enthusiasm in his eyes: "Debug this test machine, find two astronauts who can operate the equipment, and be ready for launch at any time..."
this……
Foreman Yang is already a grown man. Outer space missions like this need to be planned a year or even a few years in advance. How can it be possible to fly temporarily? !
Suddenly, he realized something.
"Wait a minute, you don't want to go up in person, do you? There's no news about the three people on White Rabbit No. 9!!!"
"If you have the opportunity to negotiate with aliens, why not?!" Colonel Chu's lips raised, as if he didn't care about his own life or death at all.
This is a life-threatening madman!
The words were not conducive, and both parties were speechless for a while.
Halfway through the sealing work, Chief Engineer Yang was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but ask again: "Aliens, shouldn't it be just our Daxia country's matter, should we notify other countries?!"
"Not yet!"
Colonel Chu's mood has returned to normal and he said calmly: "After I talk to the aliens, I will decide whether to notify other countries..."
"But, what if you disappear after you go up?!" Chief Engineer Yang asked worriedly.
"Ah!"
Colonel Chu smiled slightly and said: "This is a signal whether to notify other countries!"
Chief Engineer Yang was stunned for a moment and quickly realized the meaning of Chu University's words.
Colonel Chu wants to go to the moon first to communicate with aliens. If he can succeed, he will gain huge benefits for Daxia.
If it doesn't work out, the worst plan is to disappear completely from everyone's sight like Zhang Tao and the others.
This also means that Colonel Chu wants to bet his life to judge whether the aliens appearing on the moon are opportunities or dangers for Daxia.
Chief Engineer Yang's emotions were a little complicated, and he looked at Colonel Chu with a hint of admiration.
After a long time, he said: "If you meet Zhang Tao at the alien base, please bring me a message..."
Colonel Chu couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, and asked: "What are you talking about?!"
"Zhang Tao, there's something I want to tell you. The guy you want to break his leg...the guy who climbed onto your balcony to have a secret meeting with your daughter, he is my son..."
