Chapter 116: Wreckage

The journey to the moon has officially begun. Perhaps at this moment, the name Houyi has its most appropriate meaning.

The spacecraft is in constant real-time communication with ground control bases. Any details about the Houyi spacecraft will be sent to Earth for the controllers' reference. Thanks to the full cooperation of the ground controllers and astronauts, the Houyi spacecraft has been operating normally without any accidents. After about nine hours, the Houyi spacecraft, which had accelerated to a sufficient speed, finally broke free from the Earth's gravitational field and began to set off towards the moon in a parabolic orbit.

This process lasted another two days. Two days later, the Houyi spacecraft successfully entered the orbit around the moon. After that, the spacecraft will constantly adjust its orbit during orbiting, and the lander will be released after the orbit adjustment is appropriate. Two astronauts will also land on the moon, while the other astronaut will remain in the Houyi spacecraft.

In the process of orbiting, the Houyi spacecraft once again began to try to call the lunar base, but as before, the lunar base still did not respond. In the images of the lunar base taken by the Houyi spacecraft, one can clearly see that the lunar base is still quietly dormant on the lunar land, still maintaining its light, and at the same time, there is no damage visible from the outside. It was determined that the lunar base had not suffered any damage during this time. It was not affected by a strong solar storm eruption. This will undoubtedly help improve Zhao Huasheng's chances of survival.

At this moment, the Führer and Li Wei even had such a thought in their minds: "Maybe...... It's just that the strong solar storm damaged the communication equipment of the lunar base, so the lunar base has not responded to the call from the earth? Maybe...... After the astronauts entered the lunar base, Watson had already prepared a table of meals. Where are you waiting to entertain friends from your hometown? ”

"If the solar civilization is finally terminated and Watson is still alive, then the plasma lifeform that monitors and controls him probably has little threat to him. Watson should finally be able to say what he thinks without hindrance. The misunderstanding of Watson in human society will be dispelled, and Watson will finally be able to obtain the honor he deserves. ”

After a six-and-a-half-hour orbiting journey, the Houyi spacecraft finally arrived at a suitable location. The two astronauts in charge of landing had already entered the landing module an hour before and were ready, so the hatch under the Houyi spacecraft opened at this moment. The landing module exited the parent body through this exit and began to slow down. Losing enough speed to orbit the moon, it began to fall under the influence of the moon's gravity. During the descent process, the orbit adjustment device and the satellite navigation device have been playing a role in guiding it to the correct landing site.

The reflex rocket turned on, and a strong air current blew up the dust on the lunar surface. In the midst of the darkness, the landing module finally landed successfully on the surface of the moon. The original landing site was planned to be 500 meters away from the lunar base, but there was still a slight error in the landing. The landing module finally landed at a distance of 1,300 meters from the lunar base.

This distance can be reached by walking. So the two astronauts, dressed in heavy spacesuits, climbed down the ladder from the landing module and walked towards the lunar base together.

The astronauts' spacesuits are equipped with state-of-the-art sound and video recording equipment. These devices transmit their collected sounds and images in real time to the Circumlunar Satellite, which in turn transmits these signals to Earth. It then appears on the terminal display screen and is presented to people.

At this moment, above the display screen in front of Li Wei was a thick darkness. In front of this thick darkness is the base of the moon that still glows, and below it are two lampposts. It was a spot of light from the searchlight on the spacesuit.

Looking at this picture, Li Wei felt like she was standing on the moon at this moment, and then she was constantly walking forward. He is no longer far away from the truth and the final outcome of the matter, it is waiting for Li Wei a little more than a kilometer ahead, waiting for people to uncover it. But Li Wei suddenly lost all her courage at this moment. Li Wei was scared. I was afraid that after the moon base was opened, what I saw would be Zhao Huasheng's corpse.

But the astronauts won't stop because of Li Wei's worries. They continued to advance on the moon, and finally came to the isolation hatch of the lunar base.

The moon base was built without encryption. So the engineers quickly issued an opening command, and the door of the isolation cabin slowly opened. The two astronauts walked into the isolation chamber and closed the hatch. And the inflatable pressurization command was pressed. As a result, the isolation chamber quickly filled with air. Then the other hatch opened, and two astronauts walked over and entered the interior of the lunar base.

The oxygen content is indicated by air detection instruments, and the analysis shows that the air here is good for breathing. But the two astronauts did not take off their spacesuits. Because no one knows what happened on the moon base or what the situation is like at the moment, the spacesuit can provide protection for the astronauts. Help astronauts defend themselves against dangers that may exist in the shadows.

The moon base is brightly lit, and the atmosphere here is very different from that of the dark lunar land. But Li Wei's mood became more and more nervous. Because Li Wei knows. The truth is just around the corner, and the truth is about to be revealed.

"We're probably in the maintenance area right now. We will go to the living area to try to find Zhao Huasheng. If you can't find it. We will go to the following areas in turn......"

The astronauts moved forward as they spoke, and at the same time turned on the call system. So the pre-recorded voice was played, and began to echo in the lunar base: "Watson...... Zhao Huasheng...... Can you hear me? If you can hear it, please answer us...... We are all concerned about your condition......"

The astronauts are constantly advancing. They first came to the living area and entered the bedroom prepared for Zhao Huasheng. The astronauts looked around the bedroom and saw the quilt still wrapped in plastic, as well as some other unopened equipment and living facilities.

"We were in Zhao Huasheng's bedroom...... But it looked as if he had never used this bedroom. Everything here is brand new and shows no signs of being used. "There is no valuable information here." Our next step is to take a look at the dining room and kitchen area. ”

The image on the display device changes as the two astronauts move. Leaving the bedroom, a hallway leads to the dining room and kitchen area.

"We found some traces of use here, and there was a little bit of food waste here. But they have deteriorated and seem to have existed here for a long time. It should be noted that there is not much of this kitchen waste, and there are few traces of the use of kitchen equipment. It's almost certain that Zhao Huasheng hasn't used it too many times. ”

"We'll go to the recreation area next and have a look...... Okay, we've got to the recreation area. The equipment here also has no traces of use, as if Zhao Huasheng has never been here or used here. ”

"We are now on the road to the research area. If possible, we'd like to have some surveillance footage retrieved from there to figure out what's going on here. ”

The hearts of the Führer and Li Wei are constantly sinking, until they sink into the bottomless abyss. There is a very simple logic, that is, if Zhao Huasheng had been alive, it would be impossible for Zhao Huasheng not to leave traces in the lunar base. Perhaps it's better that the equipment in the leisure area hasn't been used, and it's barely understandable that the living area and bedroom haven't been used - after all, no one here has stipulated that Zhao Huasheng must go to sleep in the bedroom, but the kitchen and dining areas are only a few traces of use. After all, Zhao Huasheng can sleep somewhere else, but it is impossible to make food without using the kitchen.

Don't...... Zhao Huasheng is dead? Dead when something happens on the sun? Seem...... Only the inference that Zhao Huasheng had died a long time ago can reasonably explain everything that happened here.

"From the equipment in the scientific research area, we can retrieve the surveillance footage of the moon base during this time, and hope that the equipment has not been damaged." "The air detection equipment detected that the air around here seemed to contain something strange, like dust, but more like ash from the burning of some organic matter." Ground Control Base, can you help us analyze what's in the air? ”

Before the ground controllers could reply, an astronaut exclaimed: "Oh my! What is it? What the hell is going on here? ”

Because of the angle, the astronaut's camera did not capture the picture ahead.

This exclamation made Li Wei's heart tighten suddenly.

"In the end...... What the hell is going on?! Li Wei clenched her fists tightly and clenched her teeth.

The astronaut's body moved, adjusting the camera angle, and the people in the control hall saw the image ahead.

It was a black, presumably human-like remainder. (To be continued)
