Unlike what Minsk observed with the naked eye when he came to the front of the moon, the color of the huge cube with grooves was no longer white, but a slight gray. Minsk also noticed that there seemed to be something wrinkled at the three vertices of the cube facing its direction, what was that?

However, one thing is absolutely certain in Minsk, that is, this cube could not have been made by humans, because it was too large and appeared instantaneously, which cannot be done with the current scientific and technological strength of human beings.

"I have a question for you." Minsk turned his head and beckoned to Qin Yi, motioning for him to lean over to his side.

"Excuse me."

"Do you have any means to find out what that strange cube is made of?" Minsk frowned.

"Originally, the radio spectroscopy method could be used to do a preliminary analysis of the elements, but now ......" Qin Yi shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile and said, "You also know that astronomical observation stations are unpopular units on the moon, and we don't have spectral analysis equipment here." ”

"By your judgment?"

"I don't dare to judge ...... Commander-in-chief, this kind of analysis is probably better done by those respected old astronomers on the far side of the moon. Qin Yi replied cautiously.

The big man in front of him can decide the life and death of anyone on the moon with a single word, although it seems that now is the time to establish a good image in front of Minsk, but Qin Yi also knows very well in his heart that he really doesn't know the material composition of the cube, if the nonsense is exposed later, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat, so he still took the safest approach, that is, it is safer to push the problem to those old scientists who have much more knowledge than himself.

"Timing is everything! The sooner you give me a preliminary conclusion, it will be crucial for the entire 200 million man-months on the moon! It was at least 12 hours before the old scientists arrived here slowly, and those 12 hours were very precious to me! Speak your mind! ”

Minsk's mood suddenly became high, and his words were very heavy, which scared Qin Yi all over!

"From ...... In terms of shape, the probability of the cube being formed from the matter of the original universe is extremely small, I ...... I...... It is not excluded that it is a creation of an alien civilization. ”

Qin Yi gritted his teeth and said his thoughts tremblingly.

"Aliens, are they? Well, at least now we have a preliminary idea. Minsk put away his majestic momentum, and suddenly smiled and patted Qin Yi's shoulder: "You are very good, this idea may become a truth in everyone's mouth in the future." ”

"From now on, the Stard Astronomical Observatory will observe the movement of the Earth 24 hours a day. At the same time, I appoint you, Qin Yi, as the stationmaster, and take full responsibility for observation! "Minsk suddenly gave such a strange order.

Before Qin Yi could react, he became a petty official in a daze, which was even more surprising than when he had just discovered the existence of the cube for the first time.

After all, the cube suddenly appeared there, and now it is a fait accompli that no one can change, but his words just now changed his life?

"Alright, I'm going back to the headquarters now for an emergency meeting, and you can report anything you find in your observation directly to me." Minsk beckoned: "Guard, give him a set of my secret communication terminals." ”

The guard quickly handed Qin Yi a black device, and Minsk nodded with satisfaction and prepared to leave.

But just before he was about to leave, a strange thought came to him: Let's take another look at this strange earth before going back to the meeting! After all, you can't observe it from the far side of the moon.

When Minsk put his eyes into the observation chamber again, he found an anomaly!

The Earth, which had been in the center of the eyepiece just now, actually began to move slowly to the right, even if the amplitude and speed of the movement were very slow, but Minsk could still clearly feel it.

"Qin Yi, didn't you just say that the equatorial mount has been debugged, and the earth will be fixed in the center of the entire field of view and will not move? Why does it feel like it's running out right now?? Minsk asked subconsciously.

Qin Yi shook his head and said, "Impossible, I have already set the equatorial mount movement to automatically track the ecliptic orbit plane, that is, the earth's orbit is synchronized, it will not move, commander-in-chief." ”

"Come and see!" Minsk didn't care so much, reached out and grabbed Qin Yi's sleeve directly, and dragged him in front of the eyepiece.

Before seeing everything that happened in the eyepiece, Qin Yi also wondered if the commander-in-chief was drunk, but when he leaned over and really saw the phenomenon that Minsk said, he was stunned.

"It'...... It...... The Earth is indeed moving! "Qin Yi almost stuttered!

"You young people are almost serious about doing things, don't you mean that they have already been debugged just now? So in the future, these devices should be checked often, and I don't want to see the same scene next time. ”

After educating Qin Yi in Minsk, he saw him standing beside the eyepiece in a daze, thinking that the other party was frightened by his words, so he patted him on the shoulder again and said: "This time I don't mean to hold you responsible, it's just that next time this kind of equipment debugging mistake can't be made again." ”

Unexpectedly, Qin Yi did not respond to Minsk's earnest teaching at all, but muttered to himself: "Earth...... The Earth is moving...... In the ...... away from us."

Minsk only heard Qin Yi's muttering but didn't hear the content clearly, so he turned his head and asked, "What are you muttering?" ”

"Commander-in-chief, I just checked, you read that right, and it's not a problem with the commissioning of the equipment, it's ......"

"And what?"

"The Earth is really moving, and it's facing out of the solar system!"

"What?!!! You repeat? ”

"I said that the current trajectory of the earth has deviated from the ecliptic plane and has begun to move towards the outer side of the solar system, and this is moving so fast that it can be seen by the naked eye through astronomical telescope observations......" Qin Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty: "It is now out of the control of the sun's gravity, the reason ...... Unknown. ”
