After a five-hour flight, Zhong Xiaowei, Wang Jun, and Sun Zhibing successfully arrived on the far side of the moon.
"This is the legendary site where the spaceship was discovered? There's nothing special about it," Wang Jun said, looking at the crater in front of him with a hint of disappointment.
This crater is less than 500 meters in diameter and about 200 meters deep, and is quite common on the moon.
“Of course there’s nothing special about it. If there were, it would have been searched through several times already!” Zhong Xiaowei replied.
"Since we're already here, let's go down and take a look!" Sun Zhibing was very interested, constantly tidying up some tools in his hands.
"What are all those things in your hands?" Zhong Xiaowei asked curiously when she saw him taking out various strange objects from his backpack.
"Of course, it's the essential equipment for exploration! I specially prepared it yesterday."
As Sun Zhibing spoke, he held up a five-pronged iron claw and said, "This is for rock climbing. I made it specially yesterday, and everyone gets one."
"What's the use of this? Are we supposed to just leave the landing device unused and climb down ourselves?" Zhong Xiaowei asked, dumbfounded.
“Of course you have to climb the rocks yourself, otherwise how can it be called exploration!” Sun Zhibing said matter-of-factly.
“Let’s go, I’ve never tried rock climbing on the moon before,” Wang Jun said with a laugh.
Zhong Xiaowei muttered a few words, but couldn't persuade her two companions otherwise, and reluctantly left the login device.
After the three of them stood at the edge of the crater, Sun Zhibing fixed one end of the rope to the ground and tied the other end around his waist.
He then put on iron claws and said to Zhong Xiaowei and Wang Jun, "I'll go down first, you wait for me before you come down."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed the rope with one hand and slid down the cliff.
"Even if he jumps from here, nothing will happen," Zhong Xiaowei said helplessly to Wang Jun, watching Sun Zhibing's figure slide down.
"Just treat it as an experience."
Wang Jun laughed, glanced down the cliff, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Why did he stop halfway down?"
Zhong Xiaowei quickly craned her neck to look down and, sure enough, saw Sun Zhibing suspended in mid-air.
He quickly called out, "Soldier, why did you stop? What happened?"
Sun Zhibing's excited voice came through the headset: "Haha, I found something strange, you guys come down and take a look!"
Zhong Xiaowei and Wang Jun exchanged a glance, then returned to the lander and flew down.
A short while later, it hovered beside Sun Zhibing.
“Look here.”
With one hand holding the rope and the other pointing to a section of rock wall that had crumbled away, Sun Zhibing said, "When I was climbing down just now, the iron claw accidentally tore off the outer wall, revealing this thing inside."
"Is this a piece of metal?" Wang Jun followed his finger and looked at the rock wall. He saw a piece of rock that had been peeled off, revealing an object that shone with a metallic luster.
"Could there really be a spaceship hidden here? Let's dig it out and take a look!" Zhong Xiaowei said with great curiosity.
The three of them got right to work, taking out some digging tools from the lander and getting to work.
"Luckily, I had the foresight to prepare these tools in advance," Sun Zhibing said smugly.
Wang Jun and Zhong Xiaowei didn't want to talk and buried themselves in their work.
In less than ten minutes, they unearthed a metal cube about half a meter in length, width, and height.
The three of them moved the metal box onto the lander and began to examine it, but they couldn't find a way to open it for a long time.
"This thing looks very high-end. I've never seen this metal before," Zhong Xiaowei exclaimed in amazement.
He reached out and touched the metal box. The sensation he felt was unlike anything he had ever experienced before, completely different from the metal on Earth.
It's a very hard metal, but it feels like touching a soft piece of skin.
"Do you think there are any other metal boxes here?" Sun Zhibing turned to look at the cliff in front of him and asked thoughtfully.
Upon hearing this, the three of them were taken aback for a moment, then their eyes lit up, and they said in unison, "Keep digging!"
It's definitely unrealistic for three people to dig such a large cliff by hand.
Fortunately, the lander was also equipped with a laser emitter, and they used the laser gun to bombard the rock wall!
The entire cliff face was blasted open with hole after hole.
An hour later.
They have searched the entire rock face around the crater, and even the bottom of the crater.
Unfortunately, apart from the metal box they initially discovered, they found nothing else.
The three piloted the lander back to the lunar surface and discussed how to deal with the box.
After discussing for a long time, Zhong Xiaowei finally said, "This metal box is clearly not something that Blue Star can manufacture now. Whether it was left by aliens or is a product of an ancient civilization on Blue Star, it is not something we can handle. Handing it over to Commander Ye is the best choice."
The other two exchanged a glance and nodded.
“I’ll contact Commander Ye,” Zhong Xiaowei said.
"You can contact Commander Ye directly?" Sun Zhibing asked, his eyes wide with surprise.
Zhong Xiaowei chuckled and said, "My father knows it. I got the phone number from him, but I just haven't used it yet."
Sun Zhibing's eyes lit up. "Commander Ye is my idol! This number..."
Zhong Xiaowei interrupted him, saying, "Isn't Yu Xinxin your idol?"
Sun Zhibing was taken aback, then pursed his lips and asked in return, "Who said you can only have one idol?"
Zhong Xiaowei said irritably, "You thick-browed, big-eyed Sun Zhibing, if you want a number, go ask Commander Ye yourself. I wouldn't dare to give out his personal number."
After saying that, he ignored Sun Zhibing and picked up the phone to dial Ye Chen's number.
Mousse One
Ye Chen is currently conducting experiments on the spaceship. These past two days, he has been organizing the space and quantum technologies that have been unlocked, intending to start with the easiest areas to break through.
Suddenly, Tomoko's voice rang out.
"Master, Zhong Xiaowei is dialing your personal number."
"Zhong Xiaowei?"
Ye Chen was slightly taken aback, then remembered who Zhong Xiaowei was, and said...
"Bring Mr. Zhong's son in."
"Hello, Commander Ye. I am Zhong Xiaowei, son of Zhong Weiguo from Yinhuang Entertainment."
A slightly tense voice rang out in the laboratory.
“Zhong Xiaowei, I remember you. I saw you when you came to Mousse Group to study.”
Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Commander Ye, I didn't expect you to still remember me. The reason I'm calling you this time is..."
Zhong Xiaowei then quickly recounted what had happened.
Ye Chen's expression also turned serious. After Zhong Xiaowei finished speaking, he gave her some instructions:
"Wait where you are, I'm coming right away!"
"Yes, Commander Ye!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen immediately ordered, "Zhi Zi, locate Zhong Xiaowei's position immediately and fly there as fast as possible!"
