Chapter 606: Discovering an Alien Spaceship

The three put the toolbox into the storage compartment of the earth-drilling probe, then opened the sealed door and got into the cab one by one. In order to reduce the resistance of drilling, the diameter of the probe was strictly limited, which made the cab very small. Three grown men wearing extravehicular space suits sat inside, which was very crowded.

Xie Duanyang sat in the front driving seat. After he sat down, he first turned on the power supply of the equipment. The lighting equipment in the cabin lit up automatically, the system started quickly after power-on, various instruments and equipment began to work normally, various red and green indicator lights began to flash, and the integrated display screen in front showed various sensor readings and the monitoring screen in front. A sense of technology came over him.

The main working place of the earth drilling probe is deep underground, so the cab is sealed and equipped with an oxygen supply system and a temperature control system to meet the needs of the crew members to breathe freely. After the three people sat in the cab and closed the hatch, the system began to deflate and pressurize, and soon reached a standard atmospheric pressure. Qiao Ruida and the other two took off the helmets of their space suits and tried breathing and speaking, and there was no problem at all.

Xie Duanyang manually turned on two communication systems, namely the seismic wave communication system and the neutrino communication system, and adjusted the frequency band to establish contact with the lunar base. The ground-drilling detector needs to go deep underground frequently to carry out operations. Ordinary radio will attenuate very badly under the obstruction of rock soil or water ice, and the signal will be lost after a few dozen meters. If it is replaced with seismic wave communication, this situation will not exist. Communication can be maintained stable even at hundreds or even hundreds of meters underground. However, seismic wave communication also has a defect, that is, the bandwidth is too low and the transmission speed is not fast enough. Real-time voice communication can barely be achieved, and video connection will cause insufficient bandwidth and serious jamming. In contrast, neutrino communication has much greater advantages. Neutrinos have stronger penetration and can even penetrate a behemoth like the earth. There is basically no bandwidth limit. As long as the power is sufficient, it is no problem to directly connect via video across the distance between the earth and the moon. Therefore, the main communication equipment currently used by the ground-drilling detector is this neutrino communication system, and seismic wave communication is only used as a backup.

The communication was established successfully soon. On the display panel, two pictures appeared on the left and right. The left one was the picture of the lunar base, where Liu Mei, Fan Zichao and others were sitting. The right one was the picture from the flight control center of Ruida Space City on Earth, where the main members were more than 20 experts and professors in the fields of archaeology, alien civilization research, language and writing, cryptography, etc. It can be said that Ruida Space and the country have made the most thorough preparations for this alien spacecraft excavation. If they don't get some alien relics and advanced technology, they will be sorry for this effort.

"Hello, this is the ground-drilling detector, and we're testing the communication. Liu Mei, is the image you're receiving clear? Is there any interference?"

"The images are clear and complete, the latency is very low, and no interference has been found so far."

"What about the Earth Flight Control Center? Is the image you see clear over there? How much delay is there?"

"This is the Earth Flight Control Center. The communication status is good and the picture is clear, but the delay is a bit high, at least more than 2 seconds."

"Okay, a delay of two seconds is still within the normal range. Guys, fasten your seat belts, hold on to the handrails, and we'll set off now."

Xie Duanyang reminded him, and then pressed the start button. The huge alloy drill at the front of the detector began to rotate at high speed, and the entire fuselage trembled continuously. After the drill started, Xie Duanyang pulled the joystick to control the ground-drilling detector, drove forward for a distance, and then drilled into the channel drilled in the previous detections. At this time, the ground-drilling detector was vertically descending at an angle of nearly 90 degrees. Qiao Ruida and the other two were basically in a horizontal state. If they were not restrained by the safety belts, they would have fallen onto the wall of the cabin in front of the cab. This is also thanks to the relatively small gravity of the moon and the obvious reduction in human body weight. If it were on Earth, if this state was maintained for a long time, the stomach and shoulders would be red from the safety belt.

The earth-drilling probe took the old channel and did not need to drill again, so the descent speed was very fast. The first 100 meters of the channel was basically inside the water ice. Under the background of the probe light, the entire channel was crystal clear and beautiful, just like entering the crystal palace of the Dragon King. It is hard to believe that there is such a large piece of water ice on the desolate moon 38 kilometers away from the earth. The creation of nature is really magical. Seeing such a beautiful scene through the video link, even the more than old experts in the flight control center were amazed.

"This ice crystal channel is so beautiful. If I saw such a picture somewhere else, I would have thought it was taken in the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers on Earth."

"Yes, who would have thought that there is so much water ice in the South Pole of the Moon."

"Do you think the formation of this piece of water ice has anything to do with the alien spaceship below?"

"It is possible. After all, the distance between the two is too close, and the water ice is right above the alien spacecraft. This is too much of a coincidence."

"Perhaps this piece of water ice was created by aliens to cover up their spacecraft."

"If this alien spaceship really came from more than 10,000 years ago, when humans on Earth were still living in the slash-and-burn era, they had no ability to observe the moon. Is it necessary to cover up this alien spaceship, which is so advanced?"

"It's too long ago. No one can tell what happened on the moon 10,000 years ago."

While the experts were chatting, the earth-drilling probe had already penetrated more than 100 meters underground, passed through the water ice range, and entered the mixed area of ​​lunar rock and lunar soil. This layer has a soft material and high fluidity. The original channel has long been blocked by the lunar soil. The earth-drilling probe can only be used to open up a new route. In this way, the descent speed has slowed down.

Twenty minutes later, the driller finally penetrated the lunar soil layer above the alien spacecraft, and with a bang, it hit the alloy shell of the spacecraft. Then there was a violent vibration and a harsh friction sound, which was transmitted to the interior of the cab through the body. It was also at this time that the picture taken by the external camera was obviously interfered by unknown reasons. The picture was a little blurry, with snowflakes and horizontal stripes, just like the appearance of an old TV when the signal was not good. Qiao Ruida, who was riding a driller deep underground for the first time, was startled by the sudden vibration and noise, and asked in a panic: "What's going on? With such a loud noise and vibration, have we drilled into the lunar rock layer?"

Xie Duanyang checked the images captured by the front camera, observed the readings of several instruments, and said calmly: "Looking at the current depth, we should have reached the top of the spacecraft. What the probe just hit was the alloy bulkhead on the top of the spacecraft."

"Then does the interference in the surveillance image also originate from this alien spaceship?"

"Yes, this kind of unknown interference only exists when you are close to an alien spacecraft. This interference will affect all electronic equipment, including cameras, communicators, various sensors, etc., and various inexplicable failures will occur."

Xie Duanyang skillfully manipulated the ground-drilling probe to turn on the spot and drill horizontally along the outer shell of the alien spacecraft. After advancing hundreds of meters again, the ground-drilling probe finally touched the edge of the outer shell of the spacecraft, and then there was a slope that was sloping downward. The ground-drilling probe continued to drill downward along the slope, and continued to drill deeper for more than a hundred meters before reaching the edge of the slope. Next was a reverse slope that was inward, which was also the place where the suspected door of the spacecraft existed.

Judging from the results of several previous unmanned and manned detections, the entire alien spacecraft is in the shape of a straw hat, with three tails extending from the back and three huge engines installed on it. The main body of the spacecraft is made of an unknown alloy material, formed in one piece, with a smooth and flat outer shell and extremely high hardness. There are also some openings on the hull, which are speculated to be the launch ports of some weapons. The suspected entrance of the spacecraft is at the bottom of the straw hat, with a rectangular opening, 20 meters wide and 40 meters high. At present, there is a very heavy and very strong door blocking the entrance. All kinds of cutting tools invented by humans have been tried almost all the time, but they have not been able to destroy the door. The best result so far is just to leave a shallow scratch on the door, and its hardness can be imagined.

The moon has no magnetic field, and the earth-drilling probe is deep underground, and cannot be positioned by the lunar satellite. It can only estimate the general direction of its movement, so the positioning is not that accurate. The earth-drilling probe came to the bottom edge of the probe, which was still quite a distance from the gate. It groped hundreds of meters on both sides before it found the entrance to the spacecraft.

"We've arrived. This is the entrance to the alien spaceship. The entire gate is as smooth as a mirror. There is only a device that looks like a password keyboard in the middle of the bottom, more than two meters away from the bottom edge. We tried to enter various password combinations, but the gate didn't respond. The gate itself is too strong. We tried all kinds of demolition tools, but the results were not ideal." Xie Duanyang pointed to the blurred gate on the monitoring screen and explained to Qiao Ruida. Perhaps because the gate is closer to the core of the spaceship, the interference to the electronic equipment is more serious. The image captured by the high-definition camera has become blurred. Only the outline of the gate can be seen on the monitoring screen, and no details can be seen.

"To say that the result is not ideal is to flatter us too much. Let me put it this way, we have used almost every kind of cutting tool invented by mankind, and the only result so far is a shallow scratch on the gate. It is basically impossible to rely on these things to open this gate." Zhou Xiaobo has also participated in many gate-breaking tests and has a clear understanding of the strength of this gate.

"Well, have you ever tried to destroy the bulkheads around the gate? Maybe the material of the bulkheads is not that strong?" Qiao Ruida asked.

"Why haven't you tried it? The bulkheads on the four sides of the gate are made of the same material as the outer shell of the top of the spacecraft. They are hard and wear-resistant, and have a self-healing property similar to memory metal. It is difficult for our tools to scratch them, let alone break them."

"Okay, I took it for granted. So, let's put on our helmets and go outside to take a look. The interference here is too strong. I can't see anything clearly on the surveillance. If I don't see it with my own eyes, I can't find a way to open the door."

"Okay, everyone, put on your helmets, turn on the oxygen supply, and turn on the temperature maintenance system. After you open the sealed door and go out, it will be a vacuum environment outside, and the temperature will be very low." Xie Duanyang reminded everyone, and first put on the helmet of the extravehicular space suit, lowered his head and adjusted various settings. Qiao Ruida followed suit, put on his helmet, and prepared to leave the cabin.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Xie Duanyang pressed a green button on the console to start the door opening procedure. After a series of pumping sounds, most of the air in the cab was pumped out by the pump and stored for next use. Then the sealed hatch automatically unlocked, and Xie Duanyang pushed the hatch open and walked out first. Qiao Ruida followed closely behind, walked out of the earth drilling probe, and stepped on the wall of the alien spacecraft for the first time.

Seeing this, you may be wondering, isn't this the bottom edge of the spacecraft? The bottom should be suspended in the air, how did Qiao Ruida step on the wall of the spacecraft? Wouldn't he fall down? Don't tell me, this really won't happen. As mentioned earlier, this alien spacecraft is the source of the gravity anomaly at the South Pole of the Moon. When it reaches the gate of the spacecraft, the influence on the surrounding gravity is even greater, so that the gravity of the spacecraft on the human body exceeds the gravity given by the moon. Therefore, Qiao Ruida can walk on the bottom edge of the spacecraft with his head upside down, as if walking on flat ground. I don't feel anything, it feels almost the same as walking on the ground.

"Is this the gravitational effect created by the alien spacecraft? The intensity is so high that it seems to be even greater than the gravity on Earth."

"That's right. When we first came down, we tested the strength of gravity, and it was about 1.5 times the gravity. We are now hanging upside down, and the gravity has to offset about one-sixth of the gravity, which makes the pressure not that great."

For the purpose of demolition testing, Xie Duanyang and others had already opened up a large space above the door. At least Qiao Ruida could stand up and move freely without any impact. The three of them opened the storage compartment of the earth drilling probe and took out the three tool boxes. When loading the vehicle, under the gravity of the moon, it didn't feel heavy. Now that it is 1.5 times the gravity, it is much more difficult to lift the tool boxes. The power assist function of the extravehicular space suit is pushed to the limit to barely do it. Fortunately, this situation was taken into consideration when the tool box was designed. There are four wheels installed on the bottom, so it can be placed on the flat door of the spacecraft and pushed. (End of this chapter)
