Seeing the light source that was about to approach him, Zhou Cheng's nerves tensed up, and his hand involuntarily tightened the Sentinel pen in his pocket. At this moment, the light that made him dizzy went out, and a small spaceship
Stopped in front of him.
The shape of this spaceship was completely different from all the other types of spacecraft he had seen. She had a slender appearance and sharp lines. She was covered in dark gray metal, with only a few pieces of glass in the cockpit. The entire spacecraft was transparent.
1 A fierce breath.
The hatch of the spaceship opened, and a man with a flat head and straight face walked out. He was much taller than Zhou Cheng, and taller than anyone he had ever seen in the Eternal City. He was wearing clothes that Zhou Cheng had never seen before.
I have seen a uniform before, but judging from the style and the badges on the shoulders and collar, it should be a military uniform.
He had powered exoskeletons on his lower limbs, lower back and arms, and the movement of climbing out of the spacecraft cockpit seemed a little unnatural. The man walked up to Zhou Cheng, performed a military salute with a serious expression, and said in a sonorous voice:
"Hello, Professor Zhou. I am from the 38th Group Army of the Space Force. I have been ordered to pick you up and take you to the moon base!"
Although Zhou Cheng had not heard such a strong and powerful way of speaking for a long time, it actually made him feel relieved a lot, and he let go of his hand holding the Sentinel pen.
"The moon? Do I know why they came to take me to the moon at this time?" Zhou Cheng asked.
"Sorry, Professor Zhou. I am only responsible for picking you up and am not authorized to answer any of your questions. You can choose to follow me or stay here. But please make a decision as soon as possible. I will only stay here.
3 minutes." The soldier's voice was as strong and powerful as his standing posture.
Zhou Cheng thought of Qingwen's previous statement that she had submitted an application to visit the moon. Besides, he was also very interested in the situation on the moon, so he said:
"I'll go with you."
The soldier took out a bracelet and handed it to Zhou Cheng:

"Please temporarily take off your current bracelet and wear this one. In addition to helping you complete your identity on the moon, it can also block tracking and monitoring signals that may exist on you."
Zhou Cheng took the bracelet in his hand and rubbed it, hesitating a little. The soldier said again:
"You don't have to worry, the bracelet will only block ordinary signals and will not affect the Sentinel activation system using quantum communication."
Zhou Cheng felt nervous because the soldier in front of him actually knew that he had a Sentinel pen in his pocket. But he didn't ask any more questions. He put on the bracelet according to the soldier's request and boarded the spacecraft.
Compared with other types of aircraft he has flown before, the space of this spacecraft is very small, just like being in the cockpit of a fighter jet. And the flying experience is far from comfortable, with rapid acceleration and deceleration.
As it approached the moon, many small aircraft suddenly appeared around the spacecraft. They surrounded the spacecraft and used a thin light curtain to scan the surface of the spacecraft.
Zhou Cheng looked around and saw that there were a large number of various orbiters of different sizes in the space orbit close to the moon. Although they did not know their specific functions, they had a chilling atmosphere and the end of the crisis era, all over the space station and
The near-Earth space of a combat ship is very similar.
Looking at the moon not far ahead, the undulations and textures on the surface became increasingly clear. The expected tall buildings and brightly lit space capsules did not appear. Zhou Cheng clearly remembered that even in the crisis era, he could see it from a distance.
They are scattered like strings of agate on the Guanghan Palace base on the north shore of the Moon Sea.
As the distance got closer, Zhou Cheng discovered that there were countless small black spots evenly distributed on the moon, making the entire moon look like a ball covered with sesame seeds. When he turned his attention to the central crater in the middle,
Only to find that the huge crater seemed to have disappeared.
At the moment of great confusion, the spacecraft passed the twilight line of the moon, the central crater disappeared from sight, and the spacecraft entered the back side of the moon.
At this time, Zhou Cheng was surprised to find that the back side of the moon, which was at night, was covered with light spots distributed in strips. Their brightness was not high, but they were widely and evenly distributed. It was as if they were randomly scattered on the disk in the dark.
Sprinkled with fluorescent powder.
Soon, Zhou Cheng saw clearly that these bright lights came from long strips of buildings built according to the mountains and terrain. They seemed to be integrated with the moon's surface. If it weren't for the faint light from the windows, it would be difficult to see them.
They are distinguished from the complex terrain of the lunar surface.
After the spacecraft lowered its altitude, Zhou Cheng saw the small black spots all over the moon that he had seen before at high altitude. They were tower-like buildings with a height of 100 meters. At the base of the tower, 4
Many thick and soft straps stretched out in a divergent manner.
The tower is actually a huge machine. Some of them squirm up and down or rotate left and right. Every time they move, the straps emanating from the base of the tower are stretched a little further into the tower, just like the daughter is moving.
The braid being braided in mother's hands.
It's just that those straps did not expand upward after entering the tower. Instead, they seemed to disappear. At this time, the spacecraft came from low altitude to near the North Pole of the moon. On a long cliff, a huge dam was built.
The building was built on a steep cliff.
But this building is obviously not used to block water. In addition to the fact that there is no water at all on the moon's surface, it is also because there are two rows of huge glass windows on the building.
Zhou Cheng marveled at the magnificence of this dam. He could hardly tell whether the building was hanging on the cliff or simply drilled out of the mountain.
The spaceship flew in from a hatch under the building. After passing the airlock, the apron was very spacious, and there were several various spaceships parked here.
After getting off the spacecraft, Zhou Cheng followed the soldiers towards the passage. He found that there was no electromagnetic gravity simulation system that was popular in the crisis era, and the soldiers had already removed the powered exoskeleton on their bodies.
His walking gait is very light, and the range and strength of his movements are just right to adapt to the gravity from the moon, but he always fails to control the strength, like a bulky penguin, jumping behind the soldiers.
1 On the way, Zhou Cheng found that everyone was as slender as the soldiers who led him. Although they also had extraordinary appearances, compared to the humans in the Eternal City, he could easily tell their genders.
The soldier led Zhou Cheng into a very large room. There were huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the far wall. It looked like he was on the bridge of a super battleship in the old era. Those floor-to-ceiling windows were like the portholes of the bridge.
"Professor Zhou, please wait here for a while. The marshal will receive you in person." After saying this, the soldier saluted and then turned and left.
Zhou Cheng didn't have any worries, after all, he had already met the commanders of three civilizations before.
He looked at the room carefully. He was standing in the back half of the room. The ceiling above his head was glowing with a gentle warm light. The front half near the floor-to-ceiling windows was dark. Under the dim light outside the window, only
You can see the silhouettes of several high-backed chairs placed in front of the window.
After waiting for a long time, the only sound in this big room was his own breathing. Zhou Cheng also relaxed. He walked a few steps casually and found a pool not far from him. The shallow water contained nothing but...
There are green algae floating in it and a stone that shines in the warm light.
He stared at the stone for a while across the slowly rippling water, and determined that it was not an ordinary stone, but a clear gem. So he reached out to pick up the gem and looked at the light source.
Go, the gems immediately bloom with brilliance after emerging from the water.
Zhou Cheng repeatedly looked at the brilliant gem in his hand, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
At this time, a slightly hoarse, magnetic voice came from the shadow in front of the floor-to-ceiling window:
"This is moonstone, a crystalline mineral unique to the moon. It was formed under the bombardment of high-energy particle flows by stellar winds for tens of millions of years. It is very rare and can only be formed on planets without an atmosphere. If you like it, keep it
