Chapter 230: Lunar Exploration
The Moon, the Earth's satellite, is also the most special moon in the entire solar system.
The Moon is about 8 kilometers in diameter, about a quarter of the diameter of the Earth, with a mass equivalent to about one-eighty-one of the Earth's mass, and gravity is about one-sixth of the Earth's gravity.
At first glance, the Moon is just a small moon.
But in fact, humans are a race that is very good at deceiving ourselves, and our brains are very good at deliberately trying to manipulate things that we can't explain. It's obviously some very obvious anomaly, but when we get used to it, we almost turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye.
It can be said that the moon is the most special moon in the entire solar system, but people have not paid much attention to it, and even spent a lot of money to explore Mars, which is even more distant.
No one knows the secrets, but anyone who knows the truth about the moon will be shocked by the mysterious manifestations of this satellite.
The Moon is always facing us, and the far side of the Moon is mostly invisible to Earth. Because the moon does not rotate.
That's right, almost all planets and moons and even stars have a rotation, even some small meteorites. But the moon does not rotate.
And such a peculiar situation is probably the only special case after humans have observed the universe for so long.
The second is the famous pockmarked face on the surface of the moon.
The Moon is arguably the most unlucky moon ever built, with more than 33,000 craters larger than 1,000 meters in diameter on its surface, and countless smaller ones.
These craters were created by meteorite impacts, and the largest crater on the moon is as high as 295 kilometers in diameter, which means that it can fit a relatively small continent in the United States. If you squeeze it, you can get into the Japanese island.
And to create a crater with a diameter of up to 295 kilometers, the size of the impact meteorite is simply appalling.
The small meteorites that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs were only 10 kilometers in diameter, and the craters that caused them were only 100 kilometers. And the moon is a much smaller star than the earth, and it is a strange thing that it will be hit by such a huge meteorite. You must know that the larger the size of the planet, the more likely it is to be hit by meteorites, because the concept of being hit is high.
And the moon is small in size and has been hit by meteorites more, which doesn't make sense at all!
In addition, such a huge meteorite impact only created a shallow crater less than a few hundred meters deep, which is impossible on Earth! It is as if the surface of the moon is not soft soil, but a superalloy shell.
All kinds of doubts make people extremely suspicious about the moon. But no one wants to really unravel the secrets of the moon, and it seems that in the history of mankind, people have become accustomed to the anomalies of the moon.
After all this information passed through Yun Qi's mind, Yun Qi couldn't help but have a vague idea in his heart.
However, all this will have to be verified after reaching the moon.
The anti-gravity flight of Infinity was quite smooth, and after only a few hours, the crowd was slowly approaching the moon.
The Moon, which is an unusually inhospitable moon. Its surface is covered with a thick layer of dust that emits a gray glow that makes the eyes feel a tingling sensation after looking at it for a long time.
The surface of the moon was filled with craters everywhere, and there was not even a place to put your feet. It seems that all meteorites in the entire history of the Earth have smashed on the moon.
"What a desolate satellite. In ancient times, the Oriental people said that there was a moon palace on the moon, and there was a fairy in the moon palace and her jade rabbit as companions, and a person and a rabbit waited alone on the moon. If the ancients had seen the actual moon today, they would have been disappointed! There was nothing on the moon, the only thing that existed was endless lunar dust!" Yun Qi said with some emotion.
Hearing Yun Qi's words, Jazz suddenly interjected: "Hehe, I know, I know." In the East there is something called poetry. That poem is very famous in the East, called Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown! Yunqi, are you homesick!"
"Well, I miss my hometown a little, but I guess I won't be able to return to that world for the rest of my life!"
What Yun Qi said just now was indeed touching the scene, but what he didn't say was that he was more satisfied with his current life.
Now is the life of my dreams. But people are hypocritical, and even if they have obtained the life they want, sometimes they still miss the old days.
Thinking of this, Yun Qi couldn't help but laugh at himself.
At this moment, Iona said, "Captain, there are still ten minutes left before entering the lunar orbit. Where are we going?"
"Destination?" Yun Qi thought for a moment and said, "We don't have a destination at all, Iona, let's scan the moon first and see if we can find any clues!"
"By the way, go to the dark side of the moon, which is an absolute forbidden area for humans, and even the detection satellites on the dark side of the moon cannot detect the true situation on the far side of the moon because of the loss of communication. So let's go straight to the back and take a look, maybe find something!"
"Understood!" Hearing Yun Qi's order, Iona immediately controlled Infinity to enter the orbit of the moon, and then headed towards the dark side of the moon.
The dark side of the moon is facing away from the Earth, which has never been peered upon by humans, and is completely unfamiliar territory. Yun Qi stared at the obvious dark dividing line, and couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.
I'm about to become the first human to see the dark side of the moon with my own eyes.
When the last dark light dividing line was crossed by the Infinity, the Infinity was completely in the shadows.
It is in the shadow of the earth, and it is absolute darkness.
Even Yun Qi's eyesight could not see the terrain of the moon's surface through the dazzling window of Infinity, and all that came into his eyes was absolute darkness.
Thanks to Infinity's terrestrial radar detection device, everyone can roughly detect the terrain on the far side of the moon.
Gradually, a vague topographic map of the far side of the moon appears on the main screen, a 3D graphic sketched using simulated lines.
Seeing this 3D picture, Yun Qi had only one thought in his heart: Ping!
There are no craters, no craters and ravines, not even some obvious topographic bulges. It seems that the ground under his feet and the front side of the moon he just saw are not on a moon at all.
Moreover, this strange place has an absolute electromagnetic wave shielding effect, even if the infinity emits a super-powerful terrain detection radar wave, but more than 90% of the radar waves are inexplicably absorbed, and the radar waves that can be reflected back and received by the system are less than one-tenth of the original.
Such a strange situation is probably the reason why human satellites cannot obtain information on the dark side of the moon.
Absolute darkness and even absorbs electromagnetic radiation. All of this makes the dark side of the moon forever shrouded in mist. If it weren't for Iona's acting power and strength, such a faint electromagnetic reflection would not have been able to obtain enough information.
Just as everyone was digging deeper into the dark side of the moon, an unusual signal suddenly appeared on the screen. That's a huge reflex synapse.
It seems that the terrain scanning radar has found some huge obstacle, and this inexplicable obstacle forms a huge reflective surface, which is a huge cube at least eight thousand meters high.
The sudden appearance of a huge cube in this almost barren world is nothing short of shocking.
No one knows what it is, and not even Infinity's scanning system reflects only an unknown question mark, and no detector ray can penetrate this mysterious cube. Everything was shrouded in darkness of night.
