the only savior

Chapter 880 Apollo Team’s Moon Base
"Are there really gods in this world?"

Lu En couldn't remember how many times he had asked himself this question.

It is a pity that this question has never been answered, and it can only be troubled in my heart day and night, and I cannot let it go.

If it was a year ago, someone told him in front of him that there are gods in this world.

Then he will smile kindly, then nod slightly, and tell the other party that he still has work to do and does not need faith.

But if someone stood in front of him and said that to him now, he might not smile again.

He will become dignified, meditate, judge the identity of that person, and then investigate the other person to confirm whether what he said is true.

Because, he has already started to waver.

With what he has seen and heard in the recent period, Lu En has gradually overturned the previously established world view, and began to explore another more mysterious transcendent domain.

It's just that, whether it's a different species or a superhuman, he has never connected it with the so-called gods.

Although these things are amazing, they are also well-founded in the final analysis.

Even if it cannot be explained by science at present, if it is regarded as science fiction, it can at least make sense in some logical aspects.

But a few months ago, when he saw the huge angel with six wings, he finally couldn't sit still.

No matter from which point of view, the other party has nothing to do with mutations, science fiction and the like.

That kind of appearance is simply the most representative feature, and there is no need for any other proof.

At this point, Lu En also began to doubt his own judgment.

He, the director of the Hurricane Bureau, was like this, let alone those believers and pastors.

According to related surveys, within a month after the seraphim appeared, the number of church visits increased by 21 times compared to before.

It has to be said that this is really an astonishing number.

But the appearance of the holy angel seems to be only a flash in the pan.

Lu En hadn't seen each other since then. On the contrary, the legendary immortal cultivators and ancient martial arts in the East became mainstream topics and sparked discussions among the people.

Now, Lu En only feels that the information he has is too little.

Even in the underground shelter in Button City, many alien species have been housed.

Some results have even been obtained through research on them.

But compared to that mysterious organization and Huaxia, he was really far behind.

Raising his head and staring at the huge spear on the screen, Lu En silently strengthened his determination in his heart.

This time, I and others put in so much effort, we must decipher the secrets on the back of the moon, and find an extraordinary path that belongs to the United States.

……

Huasheng stew time, 48:[-] pm.

Location, far side of the moon, coordinates 237.47; 126.54.

The new Apollo 1 space vehicle.

The hatch at the bottom was opened, and a folding passage protruded from it, extended, and then paved on the ground.

The white inner valve slowly opened, and five figures in heavy spacesuits stood behind it, waiting for the valve to fully rise to the top.

"This is the new Apollo 1. I am the captain of this operation, Tony Michelet Ramsey. I have now opened the hatch and am about to start the moon landing."

"Jointly participating in this mission are Deputy Captain Maximilian Hirsch, Engineer Swallow Alder, Surveyor Raiden Abbott, and Security Officer John Ottos."

"The whole process of landing on the moon will be recorded so as to serve as important information data and effective basis for exploration in the space field."

"..."

In front of the cabin door, a white man in the lead was talking non-stop into the headset.

He is the captain of this operation, Tony Michelet Ramsey.

This time, he will also lead the engineering team to complete the "New Apollo Project" and "Longinus Project".

The other end of the communicator is connected to the NASA Space and Space Center located in the suburbs of Button City, USA.

At this time, in the headquarters of the aviation center, hundreds of elites in related fields are watching the situation there intently.

No one spoke, and no one made any noise, as if they couldn't even breathe.

I'm afraid that any movement I make will affect the next crucial moment.

"The consultation record has been completed, all equipment has been checked, and the action is now started."

At the hatch of the aircraft, team leader Tony took a deep breath, looked ahead, and prepared to set foot on the land of the moon.

"Ramsey, wait!"

Behind him, a companion called out to stop him.

"What is it, Othos?"

Tony stopped subconsciously, turned around and looked at the man.

The rest of the people also looked over one after another. Obviously, his sudden opening frightened everyone.

"Hey guys! Don't be so nervous, there is no danger here... I just want to say, we are also the second human being to set foot on the moon, don't you have anything to say before the action? Like' That's one small step for me, one giant leap for mankind' or something?"

Security Officer John Ottos said in a relaxed tone.

Tony breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said with a little helplessness:
"Okay, Ottos, you won... But you are the security officer of this operation after all, your reminder really made us jump..."

He paused after he finished speaking, as if planning to think about how to say his first sentence before stepping on the moon.

"Aha! That's all right! Ramsey, I think you've already said it! I think that's a very good sentence, now, you can go out, don't change it!"

Otos suddenly laughed out loud on the communication channel, making everyone else a little puzzled.

"What? Didn't you hear? He just said it, the first speech for the second time humans set foot on the moon! I wrote it all down!"

Seeing that everyone was confused, Otos operated from his own device and played a recording.

"Okay, Othos, you win..."

Tony's voice sounded again in the headset, which was the recording the security officer had just played.

"Look, that's the line, 'Othos, you've won', hear that? It's going to go down in history as the first words man said after stepping on the moon for the second time!"

Otos said excitedly.

Everyone was shocked by his coquettish operation, and felt that what he said made sense, but he was speechless.

In the command center, some people couldn't help but chuckled, and the tense atmosphere was relieved a lot for a while.

"Okay, that's it."

Tony shrugged nonchalantly.

He felt that he had never lacked a sense of humor, and this sentence was a bit interesting, so he simply stopped fussing with the other party.

The interruption was over, let's get down to business, and everyone started their actions again.

Tony walked out of the hatch first and stood on the land of the moon.

Feeling the real touch under his feet, he only felt that all the efforts he had made these days were worth it.

Secret screening, brutal competition, and strict special training, and finally even joined the research and development of spacecraft, contributing their own strength.

At this moment, Tony only felt that he had no regrets in this life, and this matter would become the greatest glory of his life.

Thinking of his own child being able to proudly tell others, "My dad has landed on the moon", he couldn't help but smile.

"Successful landing, now start the operation, please move within 1 meters of the new Apollo 50, all personnel pay attention to the condition of the seat belt, and do not act alone away from the team."

Tony gave instructions to everyone, and all five people present began to move.

Surveying, equipment construction, security deployment... everything is going on in an orderly manner, as if it has been rehearsed countless times.

Not only them, but the rest of the astronauts in the spacecraft are also busy with their own work, and the expressions on everyone's faces are so meticulous.

"The temperature and gravity have been confirmed, the transmission pipeline has been connected, the scanning radar has been installed, and now the infrastructure is launched, please confirm the target location."

"Wait! Wait! It's not working now! Damn it! This is the anorthosite area, and the content of bile alum exceeds the standard. It is not suitable as a location for building a base. We have to go a little further there!"

Raiden Abbott, the surveyor in the team, suddenly called out.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at where he was pointing.

That was the direction where Longinus' spear was.

"No! According to the information, there is a certain amount of magnetic field interference there. Our previous lunar rover lost contact there, so we can only go back!"

Tony turned down his offer.

Abbott still insisted:

"No other directions will work. I just looked at this area. Those directions are all in the anorthosite area. Our base cannot be built there, so we can only approach the target location!"

"This……"

Hearing what he said, Tony was stumped for a while.

Establishing a small base is an important plan that has been made before coming here.

And then three people will stay here for a year-long lunar exploration.

But it was a coincidence that the place where I and others landed turned out to be an anorthosite area, and the construction of the building could not be completed smoothly, so the target point had to be replaced.

But the new Apollo 1 has already landed, and it can no longer move at all. It can only find a new target location nearby.

But if he continued to approach the gun of Longinus, he was worried that he would encounter interference from an abnormal magnetic field, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

The headquarters also immediately became aware of the difficulties encountered by everyone, and various experts began to urgently discuss the countermeasures.

Seeing this, Lu En couldn't help sighing slightly.

No way, landing on the moon is inherently difficult, and coupled with being far away from logistics, it is reasonable to encounter various situations.

In other words, these situations are not even accidents, but only expected and normal problems.

Soon, the expert group gave a plan.

The plan is also simple, just do what Raiden Abbott says.

However, prior to this, the lunar rover must be arranged for exploration, and the astronauts will follow them to the base after confirming that the signal transmission is normal.

The people who received the order quickly arranged it.

This time the new Apollo carried three lunar rovers, and one was directly activated and dispatched to check whether the condition of the target area was good.

"No problem! The signal transmission is normal! And from the image, there is no abnormality in the soil quality there, we can go to build it!"

Raiden said excitedly.

Everyone also went back to make some preparations, and then drove a lunar rover and base vehicle to start the construction work.

Along the way, the security officer Ottos also guarded them very conscientiously.

Unlike ordinary astronauts, Ottos belongs to the military sequence, and his main responsibility is to be responsible for the safety of these people in this operation.

For this reason, the Hurricane Bureau also specially configured special equipment for him to deal with possible dangerous situations.

According to normal logic, astronauts will not carry weapons. After all, no one would think that it is necessary to carry weapons in space.

But this time the situation was different, because the existence of Longinus' gun made them feel unusual to a certain extent.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, the Aerospace Center specially equipped the team for this trip with a fully armed security officer.

The target area planned by Raiden Abbott was about two kilometers away from the landing site of the new Apollo. The base vehicle that everyone took took more than ten minutes to arrive, and the speed was very slow.

"Here it is! Stop!"

Abbott yelled, and when the car came to a stop, he couldn't wait to jump off.

Although the spacesuit is cumbersome, the gravity on the moon reduces this burden, making it less difficult for him to move.

Using the instrument in hand to measure, Abbott soon happily brought good news to everyone.

"The location here is very good, it can be used as a base building location!"

"Okay! Then here it is! Come to work!"

Tony also jumped down and organized everyone to start deploying the base vehicle.

In fact, it is said to be a base vehicle, but in fact this thing is not as advanced as imagined.

It is even more impossible to press a button to automatically unfold it, as in the game, and then form a high-tech platform.

This base car is more like a caravan with a lot of supplies. Almost all the things on it need to be installed manually, which is quite troublesome to operate.

An hour and a half later, with the joint efforts of the four people, a base that can survive on the moon for three years was completed.

If it only looks from the outside, say it is a base, it is better to say that it is an image of a RV camp composed of super large RVs and various accessories.

"Okay, our base is complete, and then everyone will rest for two hours, and then start to implement the Longinus plan!"

Inside the base, Tony issued new instructions to everyone.
