the only savior

Chapter 879 New Apollo Project
USA, Button City, NASA Space and Space Center.

The atmosphere here is extremely tense today. Everyone is busy in their respective positions, with tense expressions on their faces, but mixed with strong expectations.

In the aisle, researchers in white can be seen hurrying past from time to time.

Even if I saw my old friends, I couldn't care less about saying hello at this meeting. The two sides just passed each other like strangers, and everything seemed extremely urgent.

Lune Matthews was standing at the command center with the agents of the Hurricane Bureau at this time, his eyes were fixed on a large projection screen in front of him, and his expression was full of dignity.

Today is a special day, and it is a very important day for the Hurricane Bureau, the space center, and even the entire United States.

Just a week ago, they successfully launched a manned spaceship named "New Apollo 1", starting the ninth manned spaceship program.

However, this flight was different from the previous ones.

This time it is not as usual to log in to the space station for docking, but has a more ambitious goal-manned landing on the moon.

This is a new attempt more than 60 years after the last manned moon landing, and it is also the most nervous and exciting moment for all aerospace workers.

According to records, although the last moon landing plan was successful, due to various reasons such as funding, income, and current situation, the plan was forced to stop and could not continue.

This has undoubtedly become a regret for many people.

And now, the Apollo manned moon landing program has been restarted, which suddenly made countless people crazy again.

More than four months have passed since the discovery of the Gun of Longinus.

It can be said that the discovery of this gun was a key factor in the restart of the Apollo manned moon landing program.

At the moment when the supernatural appears frequently, the appearance of this gun is tantamount to telling everyone that this is the most obvious supernatural realm, within reach.

No one can refuse such a temptation.

What's more, the United States has been looking for its own transcendent in the country.

But so far, Naihe has not discovered the existence of any extraordinary person except Beru.

On the contrary, many alien species were discovered, and they were basically stored in an underground shelter located in the suburbs of Button City, so that they could be studied at any time.

Therefore, for the gun on the back of the moon, the high-level side is bound to win.

Even if containment cannot be achieved, at least sufficient research files must be established, and it is best to be able to hold it firmly in hand.

Against this premise and background, the Apollo manned moon landing program, which had been shelved for decades, was once again put on the agenda, known as the "New Apollo Program".

The United States itself has top-notch technology in the aerospace field, coupled with the experience of successfully landing on the moon, so this time the new Apollo program has been carried out very smoothly.

Moreover, stimulated by the emergence of extraordinary worlds one after another, as well as the pressure of Fanxing Company, many capitals in the United States have also heard the news.

A large amount of capital investment abruptly shortened the planning time to four months.

In fact, according to the original budget, this time can be shortened to at least three months.

But after all, it is a high-tech technology related to human aeronautical engineering, and there are many technical problems that need to be overcome.

It can't be the same as last time. After landing on the moon, I spent two and a half hours outside and had to return to the spacecraft.

Therefore, there are still many technical difficulties that need to be overcome.

In addition, the modification of the spacecraft also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which caused the final plan to be delayed for more than a month before it was barely completed.

However, due to the huge capital flow this time, the project team is not short of money in all aspects.

A lot of banknotes were poured in, and all kinds of top-notch materials were put in, making the scale of the whole plan countless times larger than before.

Not only has the number of members of the aerospace team increased to 13, but the overall functions of the spacecraft have also been fully upgraded, making it no longer a one-day trip.

Now, the new Apollo 1 can explore the moon for more than 128 hours.

Not only that, the spacecraft is also equipped with a set of folding infrastructure.

After deployment, a set of temporary shelters can be temporarily built on the moon to form a two-year survival guarantee camp for three people.

In other words, they not only want to land on the moon this time, but also want to establish a base on the moon and gain a firm foothold!
This may sound a bit sci-fi, but with the current level of technology, it is indeed possible.

The reason why I haven't done it for so long is because the technology is relatively immature.

The investment requires a huge amount of money, but the return is so meager that it is not worth wasting resources.

But when there is a reason to do so, NANS Space Center once again showed their technical background, which is really shocking.

However, the confidentiality level of this plan has directly risen to the highest level ever.

Even like the original Manhattan Project, all scientists used a brand-new original symbol to represent some basic formulas in physical science.

Some people even imagined that after the successful completion of this plan, whether these formulas created by themselves could also be recorded in textbooks like the predecessors, and their names will last forever.

But for now, their desire to be famous has not been realized for the time being.

At least not for a long time after the successful landing of the spacecraft.

Unless the government has collected enough extraordinary information, achieved its own purpose, and finalized everything.

Perhaps only then can the names of these people be announced.

During this period, they couldn't even share the joy of the successful launch of the spacecraft with their families.

Such a result undoubtedly makes people feel very disappointed, and it feels a little bit like traveling at night in brocade clothes.

The time came to twelve noon.

This should have been a pleasant lunch time, but everyone in the space center has no intention of going to eat at all.

The researchers and operators all stood in front of their posts, monitoring every message sent back from the computer, for fear of any omissions.

Everyone's nerves are highly tense, and now we have reached the most critical moment.

This is not only the fruit of four months of hard work, but also the future and glory of every aerospace worker present.

"Drip... The spacecraft landed successfully..."

Above the command center, the green light on the screen lit up, and a long-awaited electronic prompt sounded.

"..."

There was a sudden silence at the scene.

In the next second, a burst of cheers erupted.

The staff of the entire space center stood up from their seats, celebrating this moment excitedly.

"Successful! We succeeded!!"

"Hahahaha! God bless! We finally landed on the moon again!"

"I buy it! I buy it! 13 people! This is 13 people! We sent 13 people to the moon! We have accomplished an unprecedented feat! This will be recorded in the annals of human history!!"

"We really made it! It's not a dream! It's real! It's not a dream! It's real!"

"Hahaha! I'm so happy to be able to witness... Oh, Shet! Franco, you idiot, get off the table quickly, don't step on the instrument!!"

"..."

The people in the space center were all ecstatic.

The cheers that erupted from them resounded throughout the space center, startling the soldiers in charge of guarding outside the door, and looking inside curiously.

"Professor Houston, congratulations, the new Apollo program has been successful, and your name will be seen in all children's textbooks from now on."

At the command center, Lu En also smiled.

Beside him was an old professor with white hair.

He is the general manager of the new Apollo program and the director of the space center, Hailust Houston.

"Hehe, Matthews, you are also one of the people in charge of this plan. If I succeed, it means that you have succeeded too. I am also happy for you."

Professor Houston's tense expression finally relaxed.

He looked at the director of the Hurricane Bureau with a smile, and he was glad that he had agreed to the other party's plan.

At that time, it was because of the other party that this seemingly crazy moon landing plan was proposed and implemented.

If there is no support from Lu En, the director general, even if he thinks about it, but with his influence, it is impossible to convince the higher-ups to nod in agreement.

The success of the new Apollo program can be said to be due to the timing, location, and harmony of people, all of which are indispensable.

Now after waiting for seven full days and nights, the new Apollo 1 finally successfully landed.

This also means that all efforts have been successful, and they finally set foot on the land of the moon again.

The two bureau chiefs, Lu En and Houston, exchanged a few words easily together, and then stopped at the same time in a tacit understanding, all eyes were fixed on the big screen in front of them.

"Command center, I am the captain of the new Apollo 1 team, Tony Michelet Ramsey, and I will report the situation to you now."

A handsome man in a black T-shirt appeared in front of the camera, holding a document in his hand, and said:

“华盛炖时间12点35分，新阿波罗1号已成功着落，坐标地点237.47；126.54，与预计地点误差不超过1.5英里……”

"Our spaceship currently has a total of 13 crew members. They are in good physical condition, have no environmental rejection, no Axel-North syndrome, and all crew members are in no abnormal state. They are on standby at any time..."

"The remaining 2250KG of food, 13500KG of water resources, 745GJ left in the spaceship's energy system, sufficient oxygen resources, the spacecraft's electronic system is operating normally, and the control ports are unobstructed..."

"After inspection, the third air vent on the left side of the bridge is abnormally congested. Engineer Swaro has been dispatched to repair it. It is preliminarily estimated that a foreign object is stuck..."

"Other than that, the spaceship is in good condition and there are no other risks. Please inform the command..."

"..."

After a while of statements, Tony closed the report in his hand, and then said to the camera:

"The current situation of the new Apollo 1 has been reported. It is on standby. Please give instructions from the headquarters."

Hearing this, Houston and Lu En glanced at each other, the latter took two steps forward, and said to Tony over there:
"You did a great job, thank you for your hard work. The 'New Apollo Project' has been successfully completed. Next, please start the implementation of the 'Longinus Project'. Immediately land on the moon, expand the base, and start collecting target information in real time. Image dissemination, we need to understand your dynamics."

Tony nodded grimly.

Immediately afterwards, the picture on the big screen was divided into two.

One side is still the situation inside the new Apollo 1 spacecraft, and the other side is the space scene outside the spacecraft.

"It's beautiful...bigger than we thought..."

Lu En couldn't help being a little intoxicated looking at the newly appeared scene.

Outside the spaceship, on the desolate lunar surface, a giant spear was inserted obliquely into the ground. From this angle, it felt like it was going to penetrate the sky and the earth.

This is their goal this time, the gun of Longinus stuck on the back of the moon.

"This should be the first time we've been so close to it... It's really shocking enough... It's really hard to imagine, who left such a weapon there? Is there really a God?"

Professor Houston also stared at the spear in a daze.

All the researchers present were already fascinated by the scene before them, and the entire command center fell silent for a while.

"Ahem... Well, the new Apollo team has already started preparations. It will take some time before they finish landing on the moon and deploying the base. Everyone take turns to eat during this time. Do you have any personal hygiene needs? Hurry up and solve it together!"

Professor Houston quickly came back to his senses and issued new instructions to his subordinates.

Everyone left their seats one after another after hearing the words, and the hunger didn't come until this time.

Seeing them leave one by one with excited expressions, Lu En was also very relieved in his heart.

It is all thanks to the joint efforts of all of us to get to this point.

Everyone here is a top expert in the field of aerospace engineering, and they are all big shots who can shake the industry.

But now they are all willing to join in, after listening to their own and Houston's dispatch, what they are doing is not all of this in front of them.

"Soon... Soon... The secret on the back of the moon, I believe we will be able to solve it soon... If we can master the mystery, I believe we will no longer have to worry about the threat of those monsters..."

Lu En pondered.

His eyes were fixed on the huge spear, but his thoughts drifted unconsciously to the distance.

PS: The New Year is coming soon, everyone should pay attention to safety when traveling, and go home safely for the Spring Festival.
