In this way, a group of five people, accompanied by two satellite satellites, landed on the moon.

Even though they had made all preparations in advance, when they set foot on this land in person, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

After all, this was the first time for everyone to land on the moon like this, even professional astronaut Zhao Liang.

Although he has been to a space station before, he has never truly visited an extraterrestrial planet.

Now, he needs to personally lead a team of scientists to the moon. How can he not be nervous?

So did everyone else, who didn't even care to appreciate the beautiful scenery here.

Their minds are now filled with the training they received in the past few days, and almost all they are thinking about is what to do next.

Fortunately, as time went by, everyone gradually adapted to this feeling, and their attention returned to the surrounding environment.

Even if you have already seen the outside scene through holographic projection in that spaceship before.

But when you step here in person, your senses are still different.

The endlessly deep starry sky, the sun in the distance that looks like a white spot, and the aqua stars emitting blue light are all intoxicating.

"Okay, everyone, adjust your posture. How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Zhao Liang's voice came from the team's communication channel.

"I was a little dizzy just now, but I'm fine now!"

"I'm fine, everything is fine!"

"no problem!"

"OK!"

The team members' answers came one after another. After confirming everyone's status, Zhao Liang said:

"Okay, since you can adapt to it, then follow me. The goal this time is to collect lunar soil and collect a specimen of the moon tree."

After he finished speaking, he led everyone to a small mound of soil, and then began the work of collecting lunar soil.

The collector everyone used this time is a special space box with a volume of about one cubic meter.

This kind of box has its own disinfection function. It is a professional aviation equipment that Zhao Liang spent a lot of time to acquire.

If it were filled with lunar soil, it would probably hold about two tons.

But people don’t pretend to be that much, and pretending to 70% is enough.

Faced with this number, everyone was extremely excited.

Especially Mr. Richard, after knowing the amount of lunar soil brought back this time, he was almost crazy with excitement.

This can't be blamed on him, after all, lunar soil is too precious. When he was in the research institute, it was almost impossible to apply for one.

This is all limited by humanity's current technology, which makes it impossible to bring a large amount of lunar soil back to Aquamarine.

Over the past few decades, Americans have only brought back a few hundred kilograms from the moon.

Now, this is just the first time for everyone, and they can actually get back more than a ton at once. How can this not make people excited?

The lunar soil on the surface of the moon is very loose and can be picked up with just a handful of hands.

At the beginning, everyone still collected with a sacred mentality.

But as more and more lunar soil was collected, everyone's movements became faster.

In the end, if it weren't for the restrictions of the thick spacesuits, everyone would have just bent over and used the planer.

On the dawn greeting ship not far away, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but smile on his face when he saw this scene.

In fact, he doesn't need to go to such trouble and just order the satellites to collect the lunar soil.

His previous concerns were just that he was afraid that this would bring about some unknown troubles.

However, now that he has professional aerospace and biological guidance, he can easily avoid these threats, and there seems to be no need for Richard and the others to work hard to pretend there is nothing.

The reason for doing this is entirely based on the enthusiasm of these people for their work.

Since they like the feeling of bending down to collect in person, it doesn't hurt for Zhang Xiaoman to help a few of them.

Time passed quietly due to the tireless work of Richard and others.

Five people, more than a ton of lunar soil, it took them more than 20 minutes in total.

After all, space suits are really not the first choice for physical labor.

In addition, several people were unable to use relevant digging tools, so they could only find some soft soil areas to scoop out bit by bit, and naturally the speed would not increase.

Considering the safety of the spacesuit's battery life, the next few people had to speed up their actions, and the task of collecting moon tree specimens could no longer be enjoyed slowly by them.

This so-called moon tree is the ugly purple strange tree that Zhang Xiaoman once saw here.

At that time, there was also a wild insect that came to eat, but he later killed it.

Since then, Zhang Xiaoman will come regularly to check the status of these trees every few days and see if there are any other insects harming the place.

Fortunately, there seemed to be only one bug on the moon, and he didn't find any other bugs.

On the contrary, this forest has expanded a lot in just over a month, and the previous trees have also grown a lot.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman had used the spirit detection technique to explore the woods, and no danger was found.

Zhao Liang and others immediately entered it and began to observe the appearance of these moon trees up close.

Previously, it was said to be the home of experts in the field of astronomy such as Richard, but now it has been replaced by Tina.

She looked at the moon trees with bright eyes through the thick glass of the space helmet, and her excitement was no less than when Richard and the others saw the moon soil.

I lightly scratched it with a knife, but the surface of the trees was not affected at all.

Tina was stunned for a moment, then increased her strength, but it still had no effect.

Zhang Xiaoman saw her intention and immediately ordered a star guard to step forward to help.

Unlike the other people who had just joined the Star Alliance, Tina had already entered the organization's laboratory half a month ago because of Dane's relationship, and she still had some understanding of these armored warriors.

Seeing them coming, he immediately stepped aside and waited for the other party to take action.

I saw the star guard quickly draw out the long sword from his waist, and then slashed it hard on the branch of the moon tree.

The latter was cut off easily, and a stream of juice spurted out, as if a living thing was bleeding.

"These guys feel like they are alive to me..."

Zhao Liang's voice came from the voice channel.

"I asked, did you hear a scream just now? Why do I always feel like this tree screamed just now?"

Another team member who was closer said.

"Liu Yang, are you stupid? This is the moon. Even if the other party screams, you can't hear it."

However, Zhang Xiaoman, who was not far away, frowned.

Because he felt that the team member heard correctly, the tree had indeed screamed just now.

But it was not a cry in the ordinary sense, but a kind of spiritual transmission.

From his psychic perception, he could clearly find that when the branches of the moon tree were cut off, the overall dark energy fluctuations changed drastically.

Zhang Xiaoman was a little confused.

He remembered that when he first discovered this place, he ordered the satellites to destroy the branches of this tree, but it did not produce a similar effect.

"Is it because the body size has increased?"

While he was pondering secretly in his mind, a star sequence reminder suddenly came to his ears.

"Alert, five kilometers southeast, a large number of unknown creatures are approaching."

"A large number of unknown creatures!?"

Zhang Xiaoman was startled and immediately thought of wild insects.

Sure enough, as the projection played by the star sequence appeared in front of everyone, he saw densely packed wild insects running crazily.

Although the number is not as large as that of the Seventh Fleet last time, it is still terrifying enough.

"Zhao Liang, lead the team back immediately! There are alien groups coming here!"

Zhang Xiaoman gave instructions to the exploration team outside the voice.

Everyone was slightly startled when they heard this, and then they were suddenly shocked.

They knew something about those alien species. Everyone had even seen their corpses at close range during the moon landing training and knew what kind of terrifying existence they were.

"How, how could this happen...Can living things really survive in this environment? Is this really..."

A surprised voice came from one of the team members, but he stopped mid-sentence because his eyes saw the two star guards beside him...

The satellite guards did not pause at all. They took action as soon as Zhang Xiaoman's order was issued. They picked up the box containing lunar soil on the ground and walked towards the Dawn.

The members of the exploration team also reacted and evacuated back as quickly as possible.

Before leaving, Tina did not forget to bend down and pick up the branch that fell on the ground.
To be continued...
