Moon...... Earth's unapologetic companion, a mysterious planet, and a base for conspiracy theorists' shameless rumors, so it is said that the moon was left to mankind by advanced wisdom to protect themselves, and now it seems that this view is completely unreliable: otherwise humans would not attack each other from the earth to the moon, and the main problem of the moon is that it is too close to the earth and too close to humans.

From Mars, the Earth and the Moon are like a pair of lovers, and the Earth is like an unruly dancer who loves vanity, dressed up in purple and red - from this aspect, it is difficult to find a blue asteroid that is more beautiful than the Earth, filled with water, and looks tender and sweet - the Moon is not, the Moon seems to be a little lady who appears next to her only to set off the beauty of the Earth, and from the eyes of humans, such a Moon is extremely humble and beautiful, of course, this does not delay her being affected by the Earth, Or to be precise, being involved by humans. For the moon, humans can't hurt her, the crux of the problem is that when nuclear energy bursts on the surface of the moon, the radiation dust stirred up cannot be dissipated for a long time, the planet is no longer suitable for human activities, and to this day she is still shrouded in a layer of foggy radiation dust, like a girl hidden behind a thick veil.

It's not that humans can't go, it's that they can't stay, and a war has manifested itself on the Earth and the Moon that have caused two very different outcomes.

"Captain, what about that woman?" Skunin asked as he returned to the captain's room on the top level of the Star.

"Fuck it, don't worry about her, don't let her go anywhere when locked up, don't let her come into contact with the outside world, women have always been this kind of thing, you can't care too much about her, but you can't force her, put it aside to dry." Zhang Tianhe curled his chin, "Come over and take a look, this is the distribution map of the iron and nickel on the lunar surface taken when a spacecraft came to the moon last time, can you see any difference?" ”

As mentioned earlier, there was an ancient argument that the moon was a large ship that was carefully designed and deliberately placed in the right place to protect the human reproduction on Earth - which is of course false, because for today's humans they realize that the human species is not the most worthy of such protection, even on the ancient earth, at least, the feline that mocks humans is more valuable. The Moon is nothing more than a big iron ball, like Mercury, it has no mantle and lunar crust, but a failed undeveloped planetary core - the remnants of the Earth's collision with other planets during the formative period, when it was still called Tiamat, it is too small, it cools rapidly under the influence of the Earth's gravity, and the heart of the Moon is cold - this is the same as a woman's - so she has to be the little daughter-in-law of the Earth, just like the green snake is to the white snake.

If the planet also has a fate, then the moon is quite miserable, which is equivalent to being defiled by a handful of things on the earth.

Martians don't go to the moon very often, the first reason is that they don't have that nostalgic complex, and the second is that there is nothing they need on the moon, and most of the resources needed for human survival can actually be found on Mars, including reclaimed water, so only cutting-edge science will study the moon, and this kind of research is becoming more and more meaningless - who would spend so much effort to study the cousin of a divorced woman? For the Martians, the status of the moon is probably the same. But some people on the left have never given up on the dream of returning to Earth, so after a while they will report to the Martian government, send a probe to Earth, and explore the Moon as they pass by.

It is now known that the Moon is a small planet that is not so complicated, and that its core is almost entirely metal, and because it cools down too quickly, its metal core is full of bubbles - in the words of the steelmaking industry, it is not good steel as a piece of steel, and it is useless because it "has a bad heart". In other words, there is a lot of space in the middle of the moon, but as the old saying goes, everything grows on the sun, and without sunlight, humans can't do anything, so no one wants to go down to the surface of the moon, and its use is stuck before it can be developed - radiation dust covers the entire planet, where humans can't work, and the rays will kill all cells, so they can't survive. If the moon is really of any use to today's Martians, it is similar to the use of Mercury, they are all metal balls, and you can engage in heavy metal mining, but as mentioned earlier, its steel is also bad, and the quality is not as good as that of Mercury, so there are Martian mineral companies on Mercury, but the moon does not, because it is not worth it.

Without the Earth, the Moon and humans would not be as closely connected.

On the far side of the moon, there was a meteorite impact plain where humans had rarely explored it before, and a large amount of iron-nickel ore was found on this plain, and now Zhang Tianhe showed Shi Kening the holographic scan that they sent back after flying around the moon.

"Here, here, and here......" Sknin pointed at the hologram, "something is wrong......

"Someone has done it, and I don't know who made holes in the interior of the moon, and they piled up the dug up near the mouth of these pits...... Presumably to evade detectors, it was deliberately piled up in the same place where the mineral deposits were previously discovered. But they don't even bother to do such a thing, a little here and a little there, like a groundhog......"

"Captain, do you want to go down and have a look?"

"I'm thinking about this too......" Zhang Tianhe frowned inexplicably, "For us, the most important thing is not this, but the outer solar system, if there are sudden twists and turns......"

"But if it's not our people, who is digging a hole here, what is the plan?"

"Since they dare to dig so blatantly, it means that they don't care much about others finding out, or they are not afraid of others finding out, at least they have thought about how to deal with it after being discovered, so this is another bad omen...... It's not good to come out this time, first I touched a woman, and a woman is a sign of bad luck, and then this ......"

"Captain, you're judging women." Skunin laughed.

"When I see a beautiful woman suddenly appear in front of me, it will be like seeing those heads on Mars, the hairs will always stand up, and then I will clamp my buttocks and sweat coldly, ready to be unlucky, this is the most useful life experience I have lived for so long......" Zhang Tianhe said while zooming in on the hologram and looking at it carefully, "No one makes holes on Mars, and the mining companies on Mercury will not work like this, they are still using directional blasting, because blasting is the most convenient and cheapest...... However, the potholes are evenly distributed, and the operation time should not be too far apart, note that these holograms show that the changes in the ore seam are simultaneous......"

"That is, someone dug some holes in the moon at the same time, what are they going to dig?"

"It's hard to say...... But I don't think they can dig anything they want, and even now, with the power of all the human beings in the solar system, they can't dig anything by gathering all the nuclear energy and digging holes in the moon, which is much stronger than we think...... But now that we've seen it, it doesn't seem reasonable not to mess with them...... No matter who is digging, no matter what they want to do, we have seen it......"

"That's it! It's like seeing someone blocking the road, but now they're plundering the moon, so we shouldn't stand idly by! Captain, let me lead the team! Whoever it is, they dig the moon, we Mars don't agree! ”

"Calm down! Don't panic when you encounter anything, sleep on it first! Let people stare at those potholes, turn off the lights today, and then talk about sleeping. ”

The appearance of the Star does not conform to aerofluidics, that is, it is not what the rockets and spaceships of the past look like, it is more like an aircraft carrier, it was assembled in the orbit of Mars, it is not for landing at all, but for long-term space flight, and the hull is designed for this purpose. The top and bottom layers of the spaceship are armed layers, and the middle layer is the power layer, and then the ecological layer and the living layer are sandwiched between the gap. Whenever I think of the days and nights of assembling the Star in the orbit of Mars, Zhang Tianhe can't help but have a bitter smile that is incompatible: although it is inevitable that he will be unhappy in the middle of getting along with the Martian government, and he has a stalk in his heart to this day, but you have to obey the courage of the Martian government - this courage is also like the courage of a woman, if she decides to do something, she decides to love someone, she can give everything for this!

The Martian government has built the Star with the power of the whole planet, put the best people on the spaceship, and let the gang go out on the waves, even if their own quality of life on Mars inevitably decreases without regret - in this respect, the Martians are much more productive than the earthlings, or in other words, a female-dominated government is much more productive than a male-dominated government - of course, provided that you have to convince the government of your sincerity, and men always seem to lack courage in this regard.

Zhang Tianhe's captain's cabin is a bit like a small mobile platform, but he always stops it at the front of the spaceship, especially when the lights go out, the brilliance fades and the stars rise, only in this place, in this position, can he feel the greatness and insignificance of the starry. What is great is its responsibility, and what is small is its nature—but it is still just a speck of dust that man has created that is insignificant compared to the universe.

Skuning has released an unmanned probe to stay on the far side of the moon to stare at the craters, while at regular intervals a miniature communicator is released to maintain real-time communication with the probe. Now that the star has turned to the front of the moon, you can see the blue, green and yellow hemisphere of the earth hanging in the sky from a distance, and it also looks very small. When the photos of the Earth came back before, the crew couldn't help but burst into tears, what moved them was just the humanity of the moment, the urge to go home, and now they can face the real Earth normally.

Between the Earth and the Moon are even smaller stars, forming a straight line between the three. In the past 4.5 billion years, the earth and the moon have looked at each other like this, for them there was no difference between the past and the present, but everyone has become a little uglier, just like an old husband and wife, it doesn't matter if it's ugly or not, it's the most important thing to be together. But for humanity, they have lost both, or in other words, they have been abandoned by both.

However, this is not the most urgent issue now, the most important thing is the strange visitors and the mysterious people who make holes, and there is not even time left for Zhang Tianhe to be sentimental. In fact, since he said that he wanted to go down, he would definitely go down, didn't he say that he would also hit that woman with a sonic cannon? If the story is going to happen, giving it some time to let it have some possibilities for getting better may be Zhang Tianhe's most primitive, basic and kind idea at this time.
