Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Time and space outside the extraordinary universe.

September 12, 2030, Wenchang Space Launch Base, Hainan.

According to the weather forecast, the next few hours will be a rare launch window.

As the three astronauts boarded the spacecraft in the elevator of the "mobile launch platform" which is more than 140 meters high, the moon landing plan officially entered the launch phase.

Command Center: "Now enter the launch countdown, ten, nine... three, two, one, ignition!"

Rumble~

With a huge roar, the five high-power space engines at the tail of the "Shenzhou 10" carrier rocket, which is more than 100 meters high, were successfully ignited. In the dazzling light and the cheers of people outside the launch site, the rocket quickly took off.

The first-stage rocket accelerated to 9,300 kilometers per hour, and the engine was shut down at an altitude of 70 kilometers, and the first-stage rocket was detached.

Then the second-stage rocket ignited, and it took 6 minutes and 30 seconds to accelerate to 25,000 kilometers per hour and detached at an altitude of 175 kilometers.

Finally, the third-stage rocket ignited and operated for only about two minutes, sending the spacecraft to Earth orbit.

At this point, Commander Yin Xuejiang reported to the command center: "The launch operation was a complete success."

The sound of applause from the command center came from the communicator, but this was only the first step of this operation, so everyone just applauded and celebrated, and still stood on guard.

After the spacecraft circled the earth three and a half times in the earth's orbit, it found a suitable switching position, and the third-stage rocket ignited again, and the spacecraft left the earth's orbit and headed for the moon.

At this time, the protective cover at the front of the rocket opened, revealing the "Dream Boat" spacecraft used for this lunar mission. The spacecraft left the rocket and headed for the destination alone.

The speed of "Dream Boat" has reached about 40,000 kilometers per hour, but it still takes three days to reach the only satellite of the earth: the moon.

On the spacecraft, the three astronauts finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the next three days of the journey, they only need to keep checking the orbit and keep in touch with the command center at any time.

These tasks can be completed by one astronaut, so they can take turns to rest.

The youngest astronaut Ma Shen was the first to leave his seat. In a state of weightlessness, he looked out through the porthole at the space outside. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful."

Outside was a dark starry sky, as if filled with infinite tranquility and depth.

There is no light pollution here, nor is there any atmospheric barrier, so the vision is very clear. As long as you are not facing the direction of the sun, you can see a beautiful sea of ​​stars.

It's just that this sea of ​​stars seems to be immersed in a distant world, and it looks very deep, which seems to be a little different from the sea of ​​stars seen on Earth.

In this way, in the rotation monitoring, after more than two days of travel, the moon has occupied a large part of the field of vision. At this time, through the porthole, you can even see several huge craters on the surface of the moon.

At this time, "Mengzhou" made an attitude adjustment and made a 180-degree turn, with the head of the spacecraft facing the direction of the earth.

After sufficient preparation, the thrusters of the "Mengzhou" spacecraft, whose tail was in front, ignited and decelerated, and successfully entered the lunar orbit.

Because the moon's gravity is small, the moon's orbit is much lower than the earth's orbit. At this time, the "Dream Boat" is dozens of kilometers above the moon's surface, flying around the moon.

They will make final repairs in the moon's orbit and then officially start the moon landing operation.

As usual, Ma Shen used his rest time to lie on the porthole to look at the scenery outside.

It was a desert-like planet, and it seemed as if there was no life.

Suddenly, something seemed to move in a crater, and Ma Shen quickly adjusted his position to look for the moving object.

Nothing was found.

Soon, the "Dream Boat" spacecraft circled the moon again, and Ma Shen carefully observed the crater just now, but still found nothing.

Ma Shen wondered if he had hallucinations just now?

Suddenly, a hand patted Ma Shen, scaring him.

Looking back, it was Commander Yin Xuejiang: "Boss, you scared me to death."

Yin Xuejiang laughed and said, "Are you so timid? Go to the service module and get box No. 6."

The "Dream Boat" spacecraft is mainly composed of three cabins, namely the lunar module, the command module and the service module.

A series of operations on the spacecraft are mainly completed in the command module. The service module consists of two parts, one is the aircraft engine and fuel tank, gain antenna, four-way thruster, oxygen tank, etc., and the other part contains some necessary materials and supplies.

When Ma Shen brought box No. 6, Commander Yin Xuejiang said to another astronaut on duty, Luo Rui: "Temporarily turn off all communicators."

Luo Rui was slightly stunned, but he immediately executed the order.

After all the communicators were turned off, Yin Xuejiang said: "Before you rest, I want to convey a top-secret document to you and explain Order No. 0 to you!"

Ma Shen and Luo Rui were slightly stunned, and immediately realized that there was a secret mission for this moon landing operation.

Yin Xuejiang began to narrate: "During the Chang'e 3 mission, the camera captured an object moving at high speed on the lunar surface.

"Because the picture was blurry and fleeting, it was uncertain whether it was an extraterrestrial civilization, so the news was not announced to the public.

"So in the Chang'e 4 and 5 missions, there was a task to search for high-speed moving objects.

“During the ‘Chang’e-5’ mission, the persistence satellite finally observed the object again, and we named it the ‘lunar mobile object’.

"After 48 seconds of observation, it was basically determined that the object was not intelligent, but the target was very destructive. If the lunar landing spacecraft was hit by it, it would definitely suffer serious damage.

“So if you want to launch a moon landing, you must first investigate clearly what it is? And how to solve this problem.

“Then another problem arose. People who repeatedly watched the video sent back by the ZTE satellite had mental problems to varying degrees, and some even went crazy two weeks later.

"It is basically certain that the mental problems they have are caused by watching the video about the 'moon moving object', and the appearance of the other party may have unknown mental damage.

"In the end, the space agency determined that the news and the video were not suitable for public disclosure."

Ma Shen and Luo Rui were both a little surprised. This was the first time they heard of this type of disease.

The commander continued: “At this time, the space agency established contact with NASA and asked them if they had encountered similar situations during the moon landings in the last century.

"As a result, the space agency did not respond at all.

"After we asked many times, NASA responded: Why do you think we stopped the moon landing?"

Luo Rui understood: "They also encountered the same problem."

"Apparently yes." The commander said: "And obviously they failed to solve the problem, and therefore interrupted the moon landing plan and failed to establish a temporary base on the lunar surface.

"Then we had no choice but to solve this problem ourselves, and launched three artificial satellites one after another to monitor the 'lunar moving objects' in turn and conduct a more detailed analysis of them.

"First of all, researchers discovered that the 'moon moving object' actually has illusory properties, and often does not seem to be in the real world.

"At the same time, many attempts have been made on satellites, and conventional weapons, electromagnetic weapons, radioactive weapons, etc. have almost no impact on them.

"For a time it became the biggest problem for the moon landing, and we made no progress in researching it."

Yin Xuejiang took a deep breath and continued: "At this time, a civilian named Zhou Mingrui said that he knew exactly what it was.

“At first, the space agency didn’t pay much attention to what the other party said, but because it still couldn’t find a solution to the problem, it asked Zhou Mingrui to join the research team.

"The solution he gave is also very strange. It turned out to be to launch a Constitution that we are currently using at the other side."

Ma Shen opened his mouth: "Is it the Constitution, not the scriptures?"

Luo Rui also laughed and said, "I also think it would be more reliable to launch a Buddhist scripture."

Yin Xuejiang smiled: "This is indeed a strange proposal. When the proposal appeared three months ago and still no solution was found, the space agency carried out the plan with the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a live doctor. At the same time as other experiments, a copy of the "Constitution" was carried on the experimental spacecraft.

"The results are very surprising. The same batch of weapons used for experiments still did not produce any results, but when the "Constitution" was launched at the opponent, the opponent obviously made evasive movements.

"In order to confirm the results of this experiment, we sent several copies of the Constitution to the moon again, and the 'Moon Mobile Object' made evasive movements every time."

This time Ma Shen's mouth opened wider, and Luo Rui was also very surprised.

Yin Xuejiang said: "The space agency began to pay attention to Zhou Mingrui's proposal, and the director even went to ask for advice on the principles in person.

"According to Zhou Ruiming's introduction, the monster on the moon is the projection of another monster in the universe."

Seeing that the two team members did not understand what he meant, he further explained: "You should have heard of such a hypothesis.

"The universe we are currently in is actually a projection of another high-dimensional universe.

“It’s like a three-dimensional object was captured with a camera and turned into a two-dimensional picture on the screen.

“The monster’s projection is similar to this theory.

"According to Zhou Mingrui, in another universe, this monster is on the moon, turning the moon red.

“Because it is very powerful, by chance, it left a projection on the moon of our universe.

"In another universe, the hero who defeated this monster used the 'power of order'

"The Constitution, which we have been using for decades, already has the abstract power of 'order', so this monster dodges instinctively after seeing the Constitution."

The two astronauts had many questions. After the commander finished speaking, they both raised their hands to ask questions.

Ma Shen asked: "Boss, is Zhou Mingrui also from another universe?"

Luo Rui asked: "Commander, what is another universe like?"

Yin Xuejiang said: "That is a higher-level secret."

Both astronauts smiled helplessly.

The commander continued: "With Zhou Ruiming's participation, we worked out a plan to solve the monster.

“Because it’s just a projection, you can use a special mirror with a dark color to contain it.

"'Chang'e-7' and 'Chang'e-8' have proven that this method is practical, but because of the signal delay between the lunar rover using mirrors and the ground, we have tried several times but failed to solve the monster.

"But those experiments made us understand a fact, it is almost impossible to complete such complex operations through intelligent robots, so there is Order No. 0 for this operation!"

Yin Xuejiang's expression became serious: "The above content is top secret!"

The two astronauts immediately stood at attention in a state of weightlessness: "Yes!"

Then Ma Shencai said: "It sounds very fantasy."

Yin Xuejiang said: "At present, human probes have not left the solar system, and we are actually not very clear about what the universe looks like."

Then he said: "The content of Order No. 0 is: The most important task of this moon landing operation is to contain the monsters on the moon and lay a good foundation for us to build a lunar base later."

He paused and said: "I want to remind you that after close contact with monsters, there is a high probability that you will go crazy within two weeks.

"So you can choose whether to perform the task. If you don't want to perform the task, you can stay in the command cabin.

"Before the spacecraft was launched from the earth, I had chosen to carry out the mission. Now it's your turn!"

Ma Shen smiled and said, "I was going to land on the moon, count me in."

Luo Rui followed and said, "I didn't expect that I could land on the moon to carry out the mission, so I must go."

According to the original plan, the commander and Ma Shen took the lunar lander "Lan Yue" to the moon and carried out a series of tasks on the moon.

Luo Rui had to stay in the service module in the lunar orbit. After the lunar mission was completed, he docked with the "upgrade" of "Lan Yue".

However, the docking process can also be completed with a smart computer. Luo Rui was left in the low-Earth orbit just in case. The lunar lander was not very crowded, and the fuel was enough to take three people to and from the lunar surface.

After confirming that the other two were willing to execute Order No. 0, Yin Xuejiang opened Box No. 6 and took out three small boxes from it.

In each small box, there was a mirror that looked a little dark, and a brand new "Constitution".

Yin Xuejiang said: "There is a fastener on the left chest of our space suit, which is used to fix this Constitution.

"As long as there is this Constitution, the monsters on the moon can't hurt us.

"After successfully using the mirror to contain the monster, put the mirror and the Constitution back into the box. Under the effect of the Constitution, the monster will always be sealed in the mirror.

"Take the box into the lunar orbit for further processing."

Ma Shen suddenly realized a problem: "Commander, that is to say, if we hang a Constitution outside our lunar spacecraft, our lunar spacecraft will not be attacked by monsters?"

"Yes."

Ma Shen was stunned for a moment and asked again: "Then, why do we have to contain the monster? This mission sounds very dangerous."

Yin Xuejiang smiled slightly: "How can I let others sleep soundly beside my bed!"

Ma Shen also smiled: "I have no problem. ”

So the "Mengzhou" spacecraft reopened the communication system. After the three people took turns to rest, the lunar lander separated from the spacecraft and began the lunar landing operation.

The "Lanyue" lander is mainly divided into two parts, the ascent stage and the descent stage.

The three astronauts performed the landing operation in the ascent stage. The main function of the descent stage is to decelerate during landing and provide a launch platform for the ascent stage.

After completing the mission on the lunar surface, the ascent stage and the descent stage separated, and the engine of the ascent stage started to work. Under the not-so-strong gravity of the moon, the ascent stage was sent into the lunar orbit to dock with the "Mengzhou" spacecraft.

Under the skilled operation of the three astronauts, "Lanyue" landed successfully.

The next step is to start the lunar mission. Yin Xuejiang ordered: "The three of us will be divided into two groups, one group will stay behind, and one group will go out of the cabin.

"Luo Rui and I will conduct the first EVA operation, Ma Shen will stay behind."

Ma Shen, who was about to put on a space suit, asked a little unacceptably: "Why?"

Luo Rui smiled and said: "Because you are the youngest."

Yin Xuejiang took a deep breath: "Yes, if both of us went crazy during the mission, it proves that we should have had close contact with the monster.

"Don't worry about us, recover the mirror that contains the monster, and immediately operate the "upgrade" to return to low-Earth orbit. In the No. 10 folder of "Dream Boat", there is a follow-up task outline."

Ma Shen was stunned for a second or two before saying: "Yes!"

So Yin Xuejiang and Luo Rui put on space suits and carried out the first round of EVA missions.

The first person to get off the landing gear was Yin Xuejiang. After trying to walk a few steps on the moon, he said: "After 56 years, humans have visited the moon again.

"This time we will bring new surprises to the moon. After that, we will build temporary and permanent bases in an orderly manner. In the future, we will also grow vegetables on the moon."

At this time, in the command center of the Wenchang launch base, all the staff stood up and applauded excitedly. Although they showed smiles, most of them were in tears.

Once upon a time, we could only watch others travel in space, land on the moon, and explore deep space.

Now, those who set out early are still standing still, but this oriental dragon has caught up quickly and steadily.

After that, a series of sampling, photography, preliminary geological exploration and other actions began, but no monsters on the moon were encountered.

One round of extravehicular operations lasted four hours. After returning to "Lanyue" to rest for a while and replenishing some food and water, the second round of extravehicular operations began.

When the established tasks were basically completed, the alarms worn by Yin Xuejiang and Luo Rui suddenly sounded.

Ma Shen, who was in "Moon Landing", reported: "According to satellite monitoring, the 'moon monster' is coming towards us. The estimated movement trajectory is about eight kilometers away from you. Please move to the north immediately!"

Yin Xuejiang and Luo Rui immediately stopped their work, quickly boarded the lunar rover, and immediately took action after looking at the compass and determining the direction.

After more than ten minutes, the lunar rover had traveled about six kilometers, and they could already see the shadow moving rapidly in the distance.

If there were no satellites to calculate the movement trajectory in advance, there would be no way to meet the monster unless the monster was rushing towards them.

The moment they saw the shadow, the two people felt their scalps numb and their spirits seemed to have been shocked.

Fortunately, this was just a projection. If they had seen the real body, the two of them would have lost control and died at this time.

The two people got off the car immediately, opened the box and took out the mirror, and surrounded the monster in two directions.

As for the Constitution, they had already placed it on their chests in advance.

But soon they found something wrong, the monster was actually adjusting its direction.

The two people immediately realized that the monster was afraid of the Constitution, so it wanted to escape in other directions.

Astronaut Luo Rui immediately made a decision. He tried to throw the Constitution in the new direction of the monster and shouted, "Come to grandpa, you bastard!"

The monster seemed to understand Luo Rui's humiliation and actually came to him.

Yin Xuejiang in another direction tried to rush here, but the gravity of the moon was not strong, and it was very difficult to move. It was obviously too late to rush over.

Luo Rui held the mirror horizontally in front of him and stared at the monster in front of him.

As the monster approached, his mental activities became more and more intense, and his emotions were once at risk of getting out of control, but he still held the mirror horizontally in front of him!

In a breath, Luo Rui seemed to enter a dreamlike space.

He saw a huge figure that represented everything standing on the horizon. Suddenly, the sound and shadow collapsed, and part of it formed the shadow in front of him.

Then, twisted and crazy thoughts appeared in Luo Rui's mind one after another. Finally, he tilted his head and fainted.

But he still stood up, with the mirror firmly in front of him.

Not far away, Yin Xuejiang, who was also under great mental pressure, saw the huge shadow drill into the mirror at forearm height while breathing heavily.

At this point, the huge mental pressure disappeared.

Luo Rui slowly fell to the ground.

Yin Xuejiang rolled and crawled over to pick up the mirror at the fastest speed. There was no shadow of his in the mirror, only a vague black shadow.

He immediately stuffed the mirror into the box, put the "Constitution" on his chest into the box, and locked the box.

Yin Xuejiang went to check on Luo Rui again. He was pale and seemed to have stopped breathing.

At this time, Yin Xuejiang felt that he seemed to have tears and snot. When he reached out to wipe it, he realized that he couldn't wipe it through the helmet.

In fact, it was not snot and tears, but blood flowing from the nose and corners of the eyes.

Just now, he was too close to the "moon monster", and his body and mind were also damaged beyond repair.

Yin Xuejiang hurried back to drive the lunar rover over, and then put Luo Rui and the small box on the lunar rover while his nostrils, eyes, ears, and mouth were bleeding.

When driving the lunar rover back, Yin Xuejiang felt that his mind was a little dazed, but the last bit of consciousness allowed him to operate the lunar rover to continue driving towards the "moon".

Suddenly, Yin Xuejiang saw a figure in front of him, yes, there was a person there! A person who was not wearing a space suit, but a person wearing earth clothes!

It was a young man with short hair, with no special features, and a gentle appearance.

The only thing that impressed people was that he looked young and experienced, which seemed a bit contradictory.

Yin Xuejiang, who was already a little dazed, looked for three or four seconds before he seemed to come back to his senses: How could there be people dressed like this here?

This is the moon! It's space! Even if we ignore the temperature here, this is a place without oxygen and humidity. If you are exposed to the outside, you will die instantly and become a mummy.

The young man raised his hand slightly, and in a trance, Yin Xuejiang's sight seemed to become a little illusory.

At this moment, their fate was "fooled", and all the mental and physical injuries they suffered were "transferred" to the surrounding rocks.

When the illusion disappeared, he seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and the physical and mental discomfort disappeared just like that.

Yin Xuejiang hurried to look for any young man around?

At this time, he suddenly remembered that the young man just now was Zhou Mingrui! As the commander, he had met this "civilian".

Just when Yin Xuejiang was wondering if he had hallucinations just now, Luo Rui's voice came from the communicator: "Commander, we succeeded."

Yin Xuejiang turned his head and saw through the mask of his helmet that Luo Rui had woken up. He had a ruddy complexion and spoke with full energy, and it seemed that he was no longer in trouble.

"Yes, it succeeded." Yin Xuejiang still felt a little incredible. He had just made up his mind to die. He planned to get off the lunar rover after getting close enough to the "Moon Landing" and let Ma Shen retrieve the briefcase with the mirror and the "Constitution".

At this time, he took a deep breath and said to Ma Shen through the communication system: "Start preparing to return to the lunar orbit!"

There is a launcher on the "Dream Boat" that will push the box containing the monster away from the moon, and eventually leave the solar system, drifting in the quiet and dark universe forever.

More than an hour later, Zhou Mingrui, who was standing on the surface of the moon and watching the "Dream Boat" spacecraft take off, whispered: "Not having extraordinary power is not necessarily a bad thing."

After that, he disappeared from the surface of the moon and from this universe.

Four days later, the "Dream Boat" successfully returned to Earth. China's lunar landing operation was a complete success. The three astronauts who executed Order 0 did not suffer from mental breakdown.

Later, these three astronauts witnessed the construction of the lunar base, the breakthrough of technologies such as using lunar soil to produce pure water, and the beginning of immigration to the moon.

The era of developing the solar system has begun.
