Having chosen a location and equipped themselves with weapons, the next step was to lure the star worms there.
Because they didn't have much time, only Lu Yuan and a few others participated in this detonation and luring plan.
The captain accompanied one of them, along with a weapons expert.
After some adjustments, the other party modified the intensity of the explosion and the energy of the combustion before bringing the items to the selected location.
The selected locations consist of eleven giant pits, each approximately 500 meters deep.
The crater was very large, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to reach the center.
At this time, the distance between them and the star worms was less than 100 kilometers.
Although it sounds like a long distance, the speed at which the star worms move is astonishing.
The other party would likely arrive in less than half an hour from 100 kilometers away.
So they had less than half an hour left, and everyone was quite anxious, but being anxious wouldn't solve the problem.
After the weapons experts selected the location, they adjusted the fuse, and the job was done.
At this point, less than ten minutes had passed since the explosion and the arrival of the star worms.
They have ten minutes to escape and detonate the weapons, so they really don't have much time left.
At least Lu Yuan and his group were already familiar with methods of rapid travel on the moon.
Everyone moved forward one by one like a kangaroo, each jump covering several tens of meters.
After they talked for about ten minutes, the observer received a message through the headset from the drone's monitoring system.
"The star worm is less than 20 kilometers away from the explosion crater."
After a pause, Lu Yuan asked the other party to continue observing, while he led a few people and ran forward quickly.
After running for a few more minutes, Starworm was less than five kilometers away from the crater of the explosion—a mere blink of an eye.
Just then, Lu Yuan heard a beeping sound in his earpiece, the warning sound before the weapon's countdown to explosion.
The sound was like a vortex, spinning faster and faster.
Finally, when the sounds connected in a straight line, a violent tremor suddenly came from afar.
Rumble!
There was no sound, only the earth trembling continuously.
Lu Yuan even felt the ground shaking like a sieve.
In order to get a reference to their current location, Lu Yuan looked towards Earth.
The shockwave from the explosion caused the entire moon to gradually shift.
This shift occurs much faster than the Moon's rotation.
Everyone lay on the ground, quietly waiting for the tremors to subside.
However, this time it wasn't just one nuclear bomb that was detonated, but all of them.
The explosion of more than a dozen nuclear warheads and a strategic hydrogen bomb generated a large amount of energy fluctuations.
Fortunately, the moon is a vacuum, so as long as they don't stare at it, they will not be harmed.
Lu Yuan felt a strong wind blowing in their direction.
Everyone immediately took the counterweights handed over by Lu Yuan and tied them to their legs.
This prevents them from being blown over by the wind when they jump.
Everyone carried these bricks and passive blocks on their bodies.
When the strong winds came, everyone felt their legs were too weak to stand on the ground.
Lu Yuan then taught them another trick: they tied their hands and feet to the ground.
This way, their bodies won't be blown away directly.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the sweeping wind, carrying immense heat, blew against their bodies.
Fortunately, the spacesuits they were wearing had excellent heat insulation properties.
Despite the outside temperatures reaching hundreds of degrees Celsius, they remained unharmed thanks to the protection of their spacesuits.
However, the strong winds brought not only heat and wind force, but also various kinds of sand and gravel.
The stones made a clattering sound as they hit him, and Lu Yuan was worried that his helmet would be shattered by them.
Fortunately, there's not much to worry about as these items are made of special materials, making them extremely difficult to break.
At this moment, Lu Yuan quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and inquired about news about the Star Worm.
The team members piloting the drone on the warship, who were exploring the area, had already observed the explosion that had just occurred in the lunar crater through the drone.
They never expected that the explosion on the moon would produce such a powerful shockwave.
If he had been placed on flat ground instead of in a lunar crater, Lu Yuan and the others would probably be dead by now.
The other party quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and began to give a report.
"Reporting to Mr. Lu, from our current position, we can clearly see that the Star Worm is reacting somewhat to the shockwave. No! It has stopped moving now."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's face froze for a moment.
He hadn't expected the star worms to actually stop at this moment, so he quickly grabbed the microphone and spoke.
"You keep a close eye on that star worm. If it makes any move, tell me immediately. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu. We are keeping an eye on it now and will make sure it doesn't get out of our sight."
Lu Yuan then helped everyone up.
Everyone was significantly affected by this shockwave.
Almost everyone was on his face, but thankfully they weren't hurt.
