"Attention all accounts, 15-minute countdown to prepare!"
"Attention everyone, 1 minute countdown to prepare!"
"5,4,3,2,1, fire!"
boom!
At 18:12 that day, an "expedition-class" carrier rocket soared straight into the sky, piercing the sky and drawing a gorgeous trajectory between the sea and the sky.
There was no news coverage and not many onlookers.
It's a secret mission.
Li Qingshan, Smith and Jenny, plus two astronauts responsible for mechanical control, took this lying rocket to the distant moon.
"Escape Tower Separation!"
"Throw the fairing!"
"Booster separation!
"First and second level separation!"
Under the huge acceleration, everyone's face turned dark purple.
My heart was racing, but I was also uneasy.
No one knows what they will encounter in the future. Without much information, they can only rush into battle like a duck.
The height of the rocket gradually increased, and the sun emerged from the horizon, shining like a diamond, coating the horizon with wonderful colors. The sunlight cut through the dark space, and the sky was still gray-black.
My eyelids are heavy, my thinking is hazy, and my ears have a "buzzing" sound. This is the physiological instinct caused by brain congestion.
About 10 minutes later, the rocket successfully reached synchronous orbit.
As the ship and arrow separated, only one space capsule was left flying around the earth at high speed.
"Take that thing out..." Li Qingshan took a deep breath and adapted to the feeling of weightlessness. He slowly swam to a box, "I hope I won't fail."
A few people carefully took out a simple wooden treasure box from the nearby scaffolding. The treasure box was about 50 kilograms and had a constant mass. No matter how many things were stuffed into it, it would always be 50 kilograms. There was a crown symbol on the top and a diamond inlaid in it.
Brilliant ruby.
It looks like a classic box in a maze in an RPG game.
In the past, it was called "Mimic Monster", which is essentially a space type monster. It likes to hide in some ancient ruins and disguise itself as treasure. When humans mistakenly think that the treasure is approaching, it will jump up and take a mouthful.
Devour it.
But now, with the help of technological means, the "mimic" has fallen into a deep sleep and turned into a usable "dimensional treasure chest".
Li Qingshan swallowed and opened the treasure chest. The structure inside was a bit like a monster's mouth, with a faint moist feeling of saliva secretion: "Slow down, don't worry, it is still sleeping. We have fed it a huge amount of food in advance...
...Theoretically it won't wake up."
In extraterrestrial areas, due to subtle changes in idealistic rules, the "dimensional treasure chest" may suddenly wake up, burst out with aggression, and kill all astronauts.
Smith laughed dryly and started a small topic: "I heard, just heard... The Soviets once wanted to use Mimic Monsters to carry a large amount of rocket fuel to land on the moon first. However, after going into space, they found that the Mimic Monsters died.
Already."
"In the end they had no choice but to return without success."
Even though several people have been in the game training camp and trained many times, they are still a little nervous.
Fortune teller Jenny smiled and said: "That's true. However, the supernatural technology at that time was not as good as modern times. Mimic monsters helped climb the gravity well, which required a lot of energy."
"They didn't provide enough sources at that time, so the Mimic naturally escaped from exhaustion and died. That doesn't mean it couldn't adapt to the rules here..."
Things were taken out one by one.
Soon, the entire space capsule was filled.
Li Qingshan was in a good mood: "Very good, there is not much reaction from the dimensional treasure box... all the parts and fuel have been taken out."
"Now we're going to modify this capsule and go to the moon."
"Everyone, let's get ready."
Since all the parts are modular, people learn at 15 times the speed and trained for a long time in the game training camp. The entire modification process went smoothly, taking a total of 13 hours.
Next, the spacecraft successfully ejected flames, finally broke away from the earth's gravity and headed for the moon.
"very nervous?"
Smith looked at Li Qingshan's clenched fists and said with a smile, "I know a member of your black guard, Zhao. Even in desperate situations, he is not nervous at all."
"I wonder how he is now? When the mission is over, I will treat him to Daxia's famous meal, large intestine sashimi."
"He is such an interesting and strange person. He actually investigated the Blood Demon alone and survived...how did he survive?"
Li Qingshan's face twitched a few times and he didn't know what to say.
He is originally a serious person, but how to answer this question... that is a top secret!
And the colon sashimi is really...
"Mr. Zhao... He is missing and cannot be contacted. He may have gone to solve some big trouble again." Li Qingshan said.
"That's a shame."
"Don't worry too much, our Miss Jenny is a world-famous fortune teller." Smith added, "Since she dares to come here, there shouldn't be much danger, right?"
Jenny was floating in mid-air, experiencing the novelty of weightlessness.
She heard the conversation between the two: "You are wrong about this. I am only willing to go to the moon to pursue the inspiration in the dark."
"The most important thing for a fortune teller is inspiration, and one needs to pursue fresh experiences. Without inspiration, nothing will be achieved."
"But where does inspiration come from? Pursuing adventures, experiencing dangers, seeking legends, witnessing history...it doesn't mean that you will have inspiration just sitting at home."
"I see." Smith shook his head and said, "Isn't this trip potentially dangerous?"
"It's more than just danger?" Jenny said with a smile, "Now, I have developed a subtle sense of crisis. If we don't handle it well, we will all die."
Smith made an exaggerated expression: "How about this... I still have many wishes that have not yet been fulfilled!"
…
The average distance of the moon from the earth is 380,000 kilometers. According to the current sailing speed, the spacecraft may take about a day to reach the upper orbit in a curved manner.
The sky above the moon is gray and surrounded by a thick ring of dust, which is like a layer of eggshell covering the core inside. It is nothing more than crazy rumors among folk that this is an egg.
After reporting the situation to the ground headquarters, I took a short rest.
"Everyone, rest first. Our relay satellite has been launched first and will reach the moon before us."
…
Time passes minute by minute.
The spacecraft gradually moves away from the earth. Looking out the window at the extremely empty universe gives people a sense of bewilderment and panic. It is said that the astronauts who returned from the moon landing were more or less mentally ill. Some people think that
, the person who came back from the moon is no longer the same person...
Of course, these are all nonsense, but it is unrealistic to say that I am not confused and worried.
Li Qingshan felt the dark red flame beating in his mind, which was the anchor of [Game].
But at this moment, [the game] seems to be unresponsive.
He could only look forward.
The moon, a mysterious planet.
All early humans did not worship the moon.
Even in the earliest times, there were no astrological records about the moon.
However, in a certain period, records and worship of the moon appeared in large numbers around the world. This made modern archaeologists feel quite surprised.
The specific reason has not been found until now.
As for the origin of the moon, there are a total of four types: the split theory, the homology theory, the capture theory and the impact theory. Even this key issue has not been understood by people. The mystery surrounding the moon is natural.
…
After 23 hours, the spacecraft finally reached the moon and orbited the satellite.
To be continued...
