Chapter 23: Battlefield Ruins
"Bang!"
On the desolate moon, an object of more than 100 Mach fell, stirring up a burst of debris and dust, disturbing the ground and shaking with it.
After patting off the rubble on his body, Ma Le got up from the crater, and he finally succeeded in landing on the moon. In reality, there is no jade rabbit, no laurel tree, and no Chang'e who is alluring the country and the city, and there is no half-dime relationship with those romantic legends, but a desolate world full of craters that is as boring as in science and education films!
"It's boring......" Ma Le was about to speak, but helplessly, there was no air here, not only the outside world, but even in his lungs, so his vocal cords couldn't vibrate at all, so he could only dry his mouth and make up his own voice.
When Armstrong landed on the moon for the first time, the first thing he did was to take two jumps and experience one-sixth of the Earth's gravity. Ma Le also wanted to try it, so he found a piece of fairly solid ground, ran close to the ground for a while, and then jumped violently and performed a supersonic jump again!
This time, there was no sonic boom, there was no resistance from the air, and the gravitational force was one-sixth of that of the earth, and Ma Le easily jumped at an unprecedented speed! Feeling the thrill of flying, Ma Le opened his arms and reveled in the joy of landing on the moon.
"Huh? Wrong! After being intoxicated for a long time, Ma Le felt that something was wrong, more than ten minutes had passed since he jumped, even on the moon, this time was a bit too long......
Ma Le looked down and found that the ground under his feet was getting farther and farther away, and instead of landing, he was still rising?!
How did he know that on the moon, he could not only jump faster, but at the same time, because the moon's gravity was too small, the escape speed was much smaller than that of the earth! Under the addition of the two, Ma Le's jump exceeded the escape speed of the moon, and if he left it alone, he would slowly move away from the moon and turn into cosmic dust!
That's not good! Ma Le hurriedly sprayed the internal force in the opposite direction and returned to the moon by the reaction force. "Damn, I don't dare to jump in this place!"
Playing and playing, making trouble, it's time to get down to business, Ma Le began to run along the moon, because of small gravity, you can cross more than ten kilometers in any step, and the scenery under your feet is passing by quickly, craters, craters, craters......
Isn't there anything new to the fuck except for the crater?!
Flying thousands of kilometers all the way, Ma Le finally came to the far side of the moon, to the battlefield where adventurers fought bravely against the invaders a few years ago!!
"This ...... This is! I didn't know if I didn't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and when I came to the far side of the moon, Ma Le was completely stunned by the scene in front of him!
He subconsciously activated the True Qi Jet to prevent his body from falling, not only because he wanted to stand higher and see more clearly, but also because he couldn't find a place to stay!
The far side of the moon, missing!
This is not an extended meaning, it is literal, on the back of the moon, there is a huge gap, and at a rough glance, almost a third of the volume of the moon has disappeared!
The back side of the moon turned out to be a large bowl-like depression, which was supposed to be made of rock like the front side, but now, all that was left was the uneven fracture, jagged like the teeth of a demon! And on that hideous section, there are all kinds of strange warship mutilation, which is also mixed with tens of millions of corpses, dense and fragmented, because of the oxygen-free environment of the moon, the corpses are not rotting, but in a frozen dry corpse state!
Now the sun on the back of the moon does not shine, the temperature is extremely low, and when the sun shines, the temperature is extremely high, and the moisture of the corpse should have been dried at that time.
The vast majority of these dried corpses are of an alien race, with four arms, taller than a human, and wearing oddly shaped spacesuits, most of which, of course, are torn.
And their opponent is naturally that rare, only a few hundred thousand earth adventurers! Many of these adventurers are not yet able to survive on the moon and can only carry life-supporting devices, but the weapons in their hands prove that even if they know that they are dangerous, they have not given up their homeland, but have chosen to fight until the last moment of their lives in this desolate and harsh environment!!
The wreckage of the battleship and the corpses of the creatures all shocked Ma Le greatly, but these were all sights he had considered. And what really stunned him was a huge project!
That's right, it can only be described as engineering, on the broken section of the far side of the moon, an incomparably huge bracket was erected, like a giant tower on the damaged section of the moon!
The bracket is so huge, each steel bar has a thickness of thousands of meters, and every rope is like the legendary candle dragon snake, which is extremely huge and magnificent! And these steel bars and ropes all extend out into the universe above the back of the moon, and at the end, a huge metal ball is pulled!
The metal ball looks rough and rough, with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, as huge as an asteroid, and thanks to this metal ball pulling, the missing half of the moon will not lose its balance, and it will still move as accurately as before, only showing the front face to the earth!
This is a camouflage project, with this, it will be able to make it impossible for ordinary humans to know about the war on the back of the moon, and they will be able to hide the truth of the apocalypse!
Ma Le doesn't have to think about it to know who did it, only the system can have such courage and such a big deal!
Seeing this shocking scene, Ma Le suddenly felt that those mediocre human beings on the ground were a little pitiful, and felt that those who calculated others and intrigued in order to make more money and gain more power and status were too boring...... Who can survive such a catastrophe, and what is the point of wealth and status in such a catastrophe?
But in this world, the heroes who have really contributed and maintained the survival of the race are destined not to be known...... Is this the sorrow of the adventurer? Or is it ...... Destiny!
Ma Le strolls through the vast battlefield ruins, stepping on the corpses of martyrs and aliens, and there are countless alien weapons and real equipment on the ground. But unfortunately, most of these were destroyed in the war. And after several years of erosion of the temperature difference in the lunar environment, most of them have lost their original sharpness.
But it's not like you won't be able to keep a single one, right? Ma Le picked up the equipment on the ground, and the miracle badge swept over, and everywhere he looked, there were all the wreckage of equipment below the silver level. However, in some places, there are some traces of pressing, showing that something should have been placed here, and then it was taken away!
"It seems that I am not the first to land on the moon after the Great War!" Ma Le shook his head, thinking about it, he can do something that an ordinary level, there is no reason why those champion-level powers can't do it, knowing the battle of the back of the moon, he must also come up to check it, and most of the high-level equipment that has been left has been taken away.
"Even so, there are a lot of treasures here!" Ma Le began to pick up the equipment on the ground, even if it is damaged, the materials will not change after all, and if you take it back to the system, you can sell it for a good price, find adventurers who are familiar with manufacturing, and maybe you can create new equipment. And those high-tech weapons, replacement parts, maybe there is also the possibility of repair.
It is also said that those who can land on the moon are high-level adventurers, and they have no interest in these broken copper and iron, and those who are interested are low-level and do not have the ability to land on the moon. In the end, it's still cheaper.
Fortunately, I emptied my personal storage space before I went to the trial, and there were only repaired exorcist beads and pistols inside. At that time, it was just just in case, I was afraid that these equipment would accompany me to the funeral, so I had to leave more for the Persian cat and Shangguan. Now it seems that the large space of 100 cubic meters is really helpful.
For better or worse, the silver ones are all scavenged, and occasionally the ones are intact, and the blue and white ones are also to be scavenged! In this way, after two days of cleaning, Ma Le cleaned up the battlefield, and all kinds of tattered equipment occupied most of his storage space.
"It's pretty much there!" Ma Le shook his head: "The silver is basically cleaned up, and the rest is not worth much, so I will clean it up when I am short of money!" ”
Next, he set his sights on alien weapons.
Unlike the adventurers, these aliens are equipped with the same standard, the same level, the same class, and exactly the same equipment. According to Ma Le's observations, the most numerous and poorly equipped should be the basic infantry, usually with an energy rifle...... Ma Le didn't know what to name, the thing was about a meter long, the shape looked like a streamlined staff, one end was wide and smooth, the other was sharp, Ma Le picked it up and fiddled with it a few times, and when it touched a certain mechanism, the sharp end swooped out an energy projectile, hitting the moon rock, burning a small hole.
Can it still be used? Ma Le was a little surprised, and after a few attempts, he understood how to use it. The power is not bad, the miracle badge is swept away, this thing is called an alien assault rifle...... The name is simple and crude, silver quality, the rate of fire is about the same as the earth's rifle, but it is an energy projectile, and the power of a single shot is about 100 points, of which the physical impact and high temperature damage account for half each, which is a relatively comprehensive weapon. In addition to the relatively high damage, there are no special effects.
In addition to this rifle, they also have a short knife made of unknown metal, which is very sharp and strong, with a power of around 150 points, and no special effects, blue quality. Some of the corpses still had useless grenades hanging from their waists...... This is also the result of Ma Le's experiment, when he was fiddling, he accidentally detonated one, and a radius of four or five meters was shrouded in strong light, and the rocks were also destroyed, but it was much stronger than the earth's grenades. This is still in a vacuum environment, Ma Le estimates, if there is air, the formation of shock waves, the range of destruction is several times larger!
This is also a good thing, according to the badge scan, it is concluded that in the range shrouded by strong light, the damage is enough to 800 points, the same half of the impact power, half of the special damage, and the recent power of the shock wave outside the range is also three or four hundred, and then it spreads and decays. Silver quality props, excellent quality.
Ma Le packed it up, but either the aliens used the grenades in that battle, or the people who came up before also paid the same attention, and there were not many of these grenades, and it took an average of a dozen corpses to find one, and only some of the ones that were found and could be used accounted for.
However, this is also a considerable number for a base of tens of millions. Collecting them all, Ma Le's storage space is really not enough.
