In fact, the sugar country has the strength to manned the moon landing very early, just because the mineral resources on the earth have not yet been exhausted. According to the current understanding of the moon by mankind, it is impossible to achieve a large-scale population at an acceptable price. Before landing equipment and equipment on the moon and returning safely, the symbolic significance of individual people landing on the moon is greater than the actual significance, and it does not help much to improve the country's overall strength.Coupled with the limitation of funds, the aerospace engineering of Sugar Country has been developing at a relatively smooth speed.Yet when the country starts to push something, its efficiency and ability are astounding.

Huang Yanxin and Luo Xiaoyou are the two astronauts responsible for landing on the moon this time. As the first astronauts in the history of Sugar Country to take on the mission of landing on the moon, the tension in their hearts is self-evident. Before coming, they have made a will. In case, they will be posthumously named martyrs, but maybe even the remains will never be returned.

After eleven days of flying in the sky, the launch pad was finally firmly attached to the back of the moon, and the lunar module immediately returned to stability after shaking for a while.The two people who had already put on their spacesuits looked at each other, opened the hatch nervously and nervously, and walked down the hanging ladder step by step.

As Sugar Country's first manned moon landing, the entire process this time was not broadcast live on the Internet as before, because they did not go to the moon for sightseeing, but were carrying a major secret mission.There are cameras on the inside and outside of the lunar module, and on the helmets of the two spacesuits. In the Sugar Land Space Agency, countless people are watching their actions. Some people can't help but put their fists on their chests and pray for them silently.And at the front of the crowd, an old man standing with his hands behind his back is a very common face in the Tangguo News Channel.

It was daytime on the back of the moon, Huang Yanxin stepped on the ground first, followed by Luo Xiaoyou.The hatch closed automatically behind them, and the landing and landing of the lunar module were all controlled by the ground, and they were only responsible for the mission of exploring the moon.

"Huh...huh..."

Huang Yanxin clearly heard the sound of his breathing echoing in the helmet. He took two tentative steps and said, "Report, we have now landed safely on the back of the moon!"

"Wow!"

"Yeah! That's great!"

"Success!"

Even though they had already seen this scene on the screen, everyone was still very excited at this moment. There were warm cheers and applause in the hall, and some people embraced and cried excitedly.

Ren Sanda shook hands with several people around him for a brief moment of congratulations, calmed down, and said into the microphone: "The target position is 870 meters away from your landing point at [-] o'clock. Arrive at the target position first, and search for abnormalities!"

"Yes!"

Huang Yanxin and Luo Xiaoyou immediately turned around and walked over.Although they have experienced very strict training on the space station, they still feel the discomfort of walking on the moon.The two were already trying their best to control their bodies, but they still jumped forward, causing the images in the camera to shake all the time.But no one complained on the ground, and everyone tried their best to scan the blurred images, trying to see what they wanted to find.

Arriving near the target location, the ground here is full of traces of sugar country lunar rover activities.The two were searching for these traces carefully, trying to find out where the lunar rover disappeared last, when suddenly a young girl on the ground lost her voice: "What is that?"

Everyone looked at her together, and the girl hiccupped nervously.Ren Sanda asked: "What did you see?"

The girl pointed at the big screen and said, "When Luo Xiaoyou turned around just now, I saw something in the corner of the screen."

Ren Sanda immediately ordered Luo Xiaoyou to turn back, and he turned around slowly, the girl stared at the screen, and suddenly shouted: "That's it!"

The picture was suspended immediately, the barren lunar surface was full of rough rocks and potholes, dotted with stars in the distance, nothing special could be seen.But after the girl was circled by operating the computer, everyone found out.

In the corner of the screen, there is a small red thing, propped up by a straight thin rod, which does not seem to be something that can be formed naturally.

There is a certain time difference in the transmission of information from the earth to the moon. When Luo Xiaoyou also noticed that something abnormal in his field of vision, he heard the ground's instruction to Huang Yanxin to continue searching in situ and let him go to investigate.

Luo Xiaoyou walked over bouncing, and the closer he got to that place, the more he felt that it looked like something he had seen often, but his reason told him that it was absolutely impossible, until he was less than ten meters away, and finally no longer doubted it. own eyes.

—that was the flag of the Sugar Nation.

Luo Xiaoyou walked over slowly, looking at the flag with uncertain eyes. He even reached out and touched it to see if it was real. The taut texture of the fabric could be felt through the thick spacesuit. , he withdrew his hand, and a turbulent sea was set off in his heart.

"My God! That's not true." In the command hall on the ground, a group of people stared dumbfounded at the national flag that appeared on the screen, and someone murmured.

Ren Sanda swayed involuntarily, and hurriedly grabbed the back of the chair next to him to stand still.Many thoughts popped up in his mind, but his thoughts were completely confused.

--What exactly is going on?Who is it...

The silver-haired old man standing next to the armrest also opened his mouth wide, showing a rare expression of gaffe.

"Look!" It was the girl just now, she shouted loudly: "There are footprints on the ground!"

There is no wind on the surface of the moon, so once any traces are left - even shallow footprints can be preserved for a long time.Luo Xiaoyou also quickly discovered the line of footprints on the ground. He walked all the way until a deep crack stood in front of him. He bent down to look, and saw several fingerprints and a palm print on the edge of the crack.

——It is the mark left when climbing with gloves on.

He turned on the flashlight on his arm and looked into the crack, and found similar handprints and footprints on several protruding rocks below, extending up from an unknown depth.

——a person... maybe a person... climbed up from the depths of the crack!

Like an electric current suddenly shot up from the tailbone to the top of the head, Luo Xiaoyou shivered all over, feeling cold all over.

In the command hall, there was a deathly silence, and no one had the desire to speak.The sun was scorching hot in June, but they all felt as if they were immersed in icy water, and their fingertips couldn't help shaking.There were even two timid people who yelled in fright when they saw those fingerprints and sat down on the ground, moving back with hands and feet, as if they were afraid that something would crawl out of the crack in the screen.

The girl couldn't help but swallowed with a "gurgling" sound, the sudden sound broke the silence, and several people around her trembled in fright, almost jumping up.

The joy of successfully landing on the moon is of course gone at this time, and the biggest feeling of the people present is that they seem to have accidentally seen the moment when Pandora's box was opened.

……

Huang Yanxin, who knew nothing about these situations, was still searching for the place where the lunar rover sent out the last signal. He didn't know that the people at the command station on the ground almost forgot his existence in the fright. wrong.

——what's wrong?

Huang Yanxin looked back carefully, and found that there was a row of footprints on the ground where he hadn't walked yet.Whether it is the pattern of the sole or the size of the shoes, they are completely different from their space suits.

He yelled in his heart, "No!" At this moment, he didn't think about going to other places, but thought that there were astronauts who landed on the moon in Nutland—could it be that they had already landed on the mysterious city first?

Thinking that there has been no news of going to the moon again in Nut Country for decades, Huang Yan feels a little comforted.He walked in the direction of the footprint, being careful not to trample it. After walking a short distance, he found that the footprint disappeared abruptly somewhere, and there was no other trace around it except a large potato-shaped stone.

--what happened?

Huang Yan walked around the place where the footprints disappeared in doubt, hoping that the ground command could give him some instructions, but more than ten minutes later, there was still no sound coming from the earphones.Suddenly, the potato-like stone moved, and Huang Yanxin actually saw a red light flickering on it.

Before he could figure it out, the stone spun around and moved a few times on the ground, but it didn't know what mechanism it touched, and a black hole suddenly appeared on the ground.

Huang Yanxin turned on the light and looked into the tunnel. On the not too deep ground, there was a pile of rocks and a string of unique wheel ruts left by the lunar rover.

……

Huang Yanxin's discovery lifted the spirits of the people on the ground, but out of fear of some mysterious existence, some people even planned to give up this exploration for a while.It took countless manpower and material resources to get to this step. Ren Sanda would never allow him to give up before seeing the enemy. He looked at the silver-haired old man asking for instructions. The old man nodded, and then looked up at the screen with a serious expression.

Ren Sanda issued an order: "Huang Yanxin is on standby, Luo Xiaoyou, join Huang Yanxin quickly."

Luo Xiaoyou, whose hands and feet were cold, finally heard the voice that brought his soul back, and he went back to join Huang Yanxin without hesitation. After doing the preliminary investigation and prevention work, the two walked carefully into the tunnel. With lingering fears in his heart, he unconsciously fell behind Huang Yanxin.

Walking in the dark tunnel, there is nothing to guide them except the ruts on the ground, and they cannot hear any other sound except their own breathing. If there is not a partner within reach, there are countless people on the ground. People exist as their backing. In such an environment, I am afraid that it will soon drive a person crazy.Luo Xiaoyou unknowingly leaned close behind Huang Yanxin, turning his head to take a picture from time to time, for fear that something would appear from behind.At this moment, he felt that no situation was the best situation. If something really happened, he felt that his heart might burst.

Finally, the darkness in front of him gradually came to an end, and the hole in the distance was filled with hazy light blue light, like a dream.
