The deep starry sky is vast and boundless.

The majestic celestial bodies are moving according to their own laws, and everything is so peaceful.

Sudden……

A lander without any symbols or signs painted on it passed by several lunar exploration satellites and landed smoothly on the moon.

As a landing capsule jointly produced by four major countries overtime, it has not yet been determined by a logo and name.

The lunar soil splashed up dust, revealing a silver-gray appearance under the light.

Compared with the past, it can be said that it is now a manned space technology at the level of "throwing an iron box up with great force".

After combining the technologies of four major countries that can fully represent all mankind, and using meteorite materials to make some black technology-level strides.

Today, the space exploration technology developed by the four-nation joint moon landing program is completely different from what it used to be.

This new type of landing capsule is extremely versatile, and its interior space is large enough to carry the first batch of mining vehicles and some more advanced detection equipment.

Not long.

The door of the landing module opened smoothly.

A manned exploration vehicle slowly drove out, its solid tracks pressing on the lunar soil.

"Reporting to the lunar landing command center, everything is in good condition and all instruments are operating normally."

The astronauts reported their situation to Earth.

Seeing this, everyone on Earth who had been keeping a close eye on the progress of the moon landing breathed a sigh of relief.

Scientists from the four major countries couldn't help but smile at each other, feeling gratified for the overtime work they had been doing these days.

This time, the higher-ups want both speed and quality, which has really kept the scientists and workers busy these days.

Seeing that everything went smoothly, Detlin, who was temporarily taking over the position of supreme commander of the moon landing project, breathed a sigh of relief.

Having once participated in the core project of the space arms race in that disintegrated superpower, although he did not know much about various scientific and technological knowledge, he understood that any step in the space project was risky.

Now that everything went smoothly after the landing, Detlin finally relaxed the tension that had been tense since the rocket launch.

This time we are going to the moon to share the cake.

With the almost full and sincere cooperation of the four major countries, and the participation of meteorite materials, the moon landing plan was advancing at an unusually fast speed.

After Tom and Jerry submitted their findings to their superiors, the plan immediately accelerated like a clockwork toy.

After all, although Jerry and his team didn't know the meaning of their discovery, the senior executives who organized the moon landing project knew it very well.

After watching the video several times, they were able to confirm that the golden symbol flashing on the bright black substance was the sun pattern of eternal day.

This shocked them so much that they couldn't help but want to conduct further exploration immediately.

I want to know if that is really what Yong Zhou left behind? I want to know what Yong Zhou did on the moon.

Too much curiosity filled everyone's heart.

As a result, the joint lunar research team, which seemed to be cheating, pushed the parameters to the maximum and soon produced a usable lunar rocket and a lunar module equipped with all kinds of high-tech features.

At this moment, the lunar module has landed successfully.

“Everything went according to plan.”

Detlin gave the order.

Hundreds of small spider-shaped robots left the lunar module at the command.

They headed in the direction of Bailey Crater.

Next, under the watchful eyes of the command center on Earth, the rover, under the extremely skilled control of the astronauts, headed towards the direction of Bailey Crater as originally planned.

Because the landing location of the lander was carefully selected and calculated, the astronauts did not need to drive the rover too far.

The huge Bailey crater, with a diameter of 295 kilometers, can be seen in the field of vision.

But what follows is still a long journey.

After all, although Bailey Crater can be seen in the field of vision, there is still some distance between them.

And the speed of the rover cannot be too fast.

So it took several hours for the rover to arrive at the foot of Bailey Crater, which was almost the same as the originally calculated time.

Of the numerous spider robots that had been traveling with us, none were still around. They all had their own predetermined programs and were heading to different corners of Bailey Crater at an even pace.

At such a close distance, with the rover's 360-degree, wide-range high-definition camera function, the magnificence of Bailey Crater can be seen at a glance.

Just looking at the rough data from the lunar exploration satellite, 295 kilometers does not give people a strong impression.

But if you compare them, it's different.

The capital city of Shu is only a little over 200 kilometers in diameter, far less than the 295-kilometer diameter of this crater.

The Bailey Crater is so huge that it can easily accommodate the provincial capital of Shu.

The size of this is simply breathtaking.

Without the data assistance from lunar exploration satellites and other equipment, the lunar rover driven by astronauts would probably get lost in this huge wonder.

It is large enough to make it difficult to see the whole picture and to recognize the true face of Mount Lu.

And Detlin, who was far away in the Earth Command Center, and Zhang Shouquan, Hansen, Andrew and others beside him could not help but look at each other.

Looking at the rover climbing up the gentle slope towards the crater, complex thoughts flashed through the minds of several senior executives.

Is there really a man-made structure inside such a huge crater? It has a diameter of 295 kilometers!

If there is a man-made object of the same size hidden in it, it would definitely be a shocking and magnificent spectacle.

Such a spectacle is a great miracle that is difficult to replicate even on Earth.

It would be even more incredible if it were on the moon.

A man-made structure with a diameter of 295 kilometers, it can almost be called a city.

Even Zhang Shouquan, who had once speculated that the power of Eternal Day might extend to the universe, had never imagined that the scale of extension might be so large.

If the power of Eternal Day has reached such a point that it can move freely in the universe, then are there any traces of Eternal Day left outside the earth?

Among those myths and legends about the moon, the sun, and many stars, could there be one that actually describes Yong Zhou and his companions living outside the earth?

These two doubts were Zhang Shouquan’s first reactions when he saw the meteorite being smashed into pieces.

Now, it's time to verify his guess.

Looking at the almost real-time images sent by the rover, Zhang Shouquan swallowed nervously.

soon.

The rover stopped and reached the top of a cliff on one side of the crater.

It did not go directly to the area where the bright black substance was previously discovered, but chose to come to a high point in Bailey Crater.

Then, the rover controlled the hundreds of spider-like robots under the control of the astronauts.

These are all exploration robots jointly researched by the four major countries, and their technological level is quite high. After all, this is cutting-edge technology jointly researched by the four major countries, and a lot of meteorite materials have been invested. It can be said that it is the product of a small technological explosion.

At this moment, hundreds of spider-shaped exploration robots have reached every corner of Bailey Crater.

Although the distribution density is not high, after all, there are only a few hundred spider-shaped robots, but the distribution is definitely uniform enough.

Hundreds of spider-shaped robots less than one meter long extended a long metal tube from their abdomens and pierced directly into the lunar soil below.

Next, the detection begins.

The astronauts also began to continuously receive and summarize data.

The ground command center quickly received the synchronized data.

"The seismic detection data has been imported. We are currently mapping out the partial structure and properties of all the underground materials, and mapping out the images of the special underground materials."

"The electromagnetic wave detection data has been imported, and the conductivity and some properties of all underground materials are being analyzed."

"Thermal detection is being deployed, waiting for the rest of the detection process to be completed."

Reports were heard one after another in the command center. They were from many professionals who were conducting integrated analysis based on the data sent from the moon.

The astronauts sent to the moon are mainly to deal with special situations. They know a little about all kinds of fields, but they cannot be said to be proficient in them.

In this normal situation, it is natural that we rely mainly on the expert team on the ground to take over the various data analysis and integration tasks.

The bright black material suspected to be hidden under Bailey Crater has a particularly special rebound effect on shock waves, so the shape of all the bright black material underground can be quickly analyzed based on the shock wave data.

Soon, the intelligent brain drew a sketch based on the uploaded seismic wave data and electromagnetic wave data.

Everyone staring at the large central screen opened their mouths in shock at the sketch.

You can't tell anything just by looking at the data.

But after converting the data into pictures of the specific shape and size of the man-made objects underground, a strange feeling came to my mind.

In an instant, the ground command center fell silent.

We are all technical people in the aerospace field, and we all have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the sketches that are intelligently drawn on the screen based on the detection data.

Even high-ranking officials such as Zhang Shouquan, who were in charge of intelligence, widened their eyes in surprise at this moment.

For a moment, the ground command center fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone was shocked by the sketch that was being continuously improved by the intelligent system based on data.

The shocking thing is not that this huge Pele crater is really just the shell of a huge man-made structure.

What is shocking is not that the actual size of this man-made object buried deep underground is far beyond imagination.

Instead, they were shocked by some other discoveries! After a long while, someone finally spoke.

"This, isn't it a thruster?"

Hansen swallowed, and even though he was always calm, he felt a little sweat on his forehead.

Having been in this four-nation joint lunar landing project team for such a long time, he has learned some things about the aerospace field.

The huge structure on the screen in front of me is regular and orderly, and is definitely a man-made thing.

And no matter how you look at it, it looks like a thruster at the tail of a rocket that releases chemical fuel.

And if this is a thruster, how much thrust would it have? And what would it use as a power source? Confusion followed shock.

Andrew on the side didn't say anything, but just silently searched for milk candy in his pocket to suppress his anxious mood.

His first thought was the same as Hansen's.

At first glance, this really looks like a thruster.

Although the internal structure of this man-made object buried deep underground cannot be obtained from the detection data, we are completely in the dark about its specific composition.

But we only look at the general external shape detected.

You can vaguely see the flavor of rocket thrusters.

Devices similar to energy storage, jet nozzles, devices similar to nozzle steering adjustments, devices similar to heat dissipation vents... a series of structures are available. Although there are many differences from the rocket propulsion devices on Earth, Andrew feels that they are very similar.

Isn't the huge Bailey crater on the ground formed by the trumpet-shaped nozzle of the thruster being covered by lunar soil and dust?

The 295-kilometer-diameter object is not actually Bailey Crater.

It was a huge jet hidden underneath, a huge jet with a diameter of 295 kilometers, larger than a provincial capital city! Thinking of this, Andrew couldn't help but frown.

After searching around for the candy, Andrew finally found it. He swallowed it in one gulp and murmured calmly, "If it's a thruster, then this 295-kilometer-diameter jet nozzle is a bit too exaggerated. What is it trying to propel?"

No one in the silent ground command center responded to Andrew's mumbling.

Even Zhang Shouquan, who had always felt that no matter what surprises Yong Zhou gave him, he would not be surprised, now deeply doubted his life.

Is this Yong Zhou really a force that came from the ancient Earth? Zhang Shouquan always felt that it might be a bit too high for him to live on the same Earth with them? The day he saw that Yong Zhou had people who could travel in space and smash meteorites, he thought that if he vigorously developed aviation technology and went to explore the depths of space seriously.

Perhaps we will really find traces of Eternal Day's activities on the moon, Mars, Jupiter's moons... and even more celestial bodies in the universe.

Not long after, the day to go into space to look for traces of eternal day really came.

However, as he was looking forward to seeing what kind of supernatural powers and advanced technologies would be left behind in those places, he couldn't help but feel a little timid at this moment.

Even though he thought he knew Yong Zhou well enough.

At this moment, I can't help but feel a little bit like Ye Gong who loves dragons but is afraid of them.

After all, every time one witnesses Yong Zhou's power, Yong Zhou's level in one's heart will continue to rise.

now……

It seems to have reached a new height again.

The current facts have proven it.

Yong Zhou was able to leave the Earth and reach the Moon in an unknown time in the past.

That so-called giant step for mankind was already taken by Yong Zhou in ancient times.

Then, when they arrived at the Moon's Eternal Day, they built a huge thruster with a jet nozzle 295 kilometers in diameter.

Needless to say, the greatness of this is beyond words.

The most important thing is that at this moment Zhang Shouquan felt that he vaguely realized the meaning behind such a spectacle.

This ridiculously large thruster...

Could it be a planetary engine?!

Recalling the movie "The Little Wandering Ball" he had seen, Zhang Shouquan felt that this guess was very close to the truth.

Perhaps, Yong Zhou once thought of using a planetary engine to take him to the moon for a long voyage? But something happened that ended the plan?

The more I think about it.

Zhang Shouquan felt more and more powerless because of the existence of Eternal Day.

Whether it is supernatural means or technological means, others can build planetary engines.

The fighting between humans on Earth really needs to stop.

Before, he only anticipated that the future of mankind might be led by eternal daylight, but he was not sure when that future would come.

Now he just wants to vote immediately.

Stop fighting, why don't you just sit in the trailer? (End of this chapter)
