Chapter 392: The Soviet Moonlanding
Shortly after the New Year, news came from the Soviet side.
On February 23, 1968, on the day of the Soviet Army's Day, Soviet cosmonauts successfully landed on the moon. As soon as this news came out, it immediately spread throughout the world. The Soviets also learned from the Americans, and broadcast the moon landing live, only to see the huge N-1 rocket carrying the spacecraft into the sky.
Since the N-1 rocket has a much larger payload capacity than the American Saturn rocket, the number of people who landed on the moon together this time was five Soviets, including a female cosmonaut.
When the spacecraft landed on the moon, the Soviet female cosmonaut was the first to step out of the hatch and become the first woman to set foot on the moon, if you don't count Chang'e in Chinese mythology. Not only that, but she also danced a short swan dance on the surface of the moon, and in a beautiful tune, she showed the talents of Soviet women.
As the "second" country to land on the moon, the Soviets seemed to look down on the Americans, thinking that NASA had not really landed on the moon, and they also said that they would find the flag left by the Americans on the moon.
"If the Soviets were to find out the truth, it would have a big impact on the reputation of the United States and the interests of SCC. We have to plug this most embarrassing loophole quickly! Hughes and the others all thought like this in their hearts, and they all thought of one person in the end, and that was Alex.
"Huh?" Alex was taken aback when these people approached him. I thought I had done something, and the East Window incident happened. After he asked about the situation, he felt a little funny: "Let me fly to the moon with the national flag and stick it on the surface of the moon?" ”
"Yes, the Soviets claimed that after the next moon landing, they would start investigating the authenticity of our moon landing!"
"So you have to forge all the evidence before the Soviets find out!"
"Yes, if the Soviets find out that our moon landing is fake, it will be miserable!"
Alex was a little embarrassed when he heard this, these guys did stupid things, but as a result, he had to come out and clean up the scene. According to what he thought. This moon landing may have economic benefits for the United States. But for these Venerable Masters, it doesn't make much sense anymore.
If you want to go to the moon, there are many ways.
Wearing the Iron Man armor invented by Alex is one, and the other is the result of the "Philadelphia Experiment". Just teleport the person up. As for relying on scientific and technological strength. It's okay to slow down. Anyway, the moon landing or something, someone has already done it a thousand or two thousand years ago, and it is not their turn to be the first place.
And that's because he thinks so. Therefore, it was not involved in this counterfeiting incident. But after the last day, he still couldn't escape, and was pulled back by these people and continued to help them fake.
Other people can not give face, but Hughes can't not give face. After all, he and Hughes are old friends, and they didn't get involved before, but it's okay to say that this time it's an emergency, so he has to reach out and pull it.
"Okay!" Alex thought for a moment and replied, "You guys get things ready, then tell me the coordinates, and I'll get things done quickly." ”
These people were very efficient, and not long after Alex agreed, he immediately sent the things over. Actually, it's nothing, just a flag, a pair of astronaut shoes, which are used to make footprints, and some miscellaneous spacecraft junk, etc.
After getting the things, Alex put them in a box, then put on the Iron Man armor and flew directly to the moon with the box.
After transformation and improvement, this set of armor has been able to adapt to various environments, whether in the air, underwater or in space, you can fly at will, as long as this set of armor still has power, you can always fly. As for the power source, it is related to the refining array, and the refining array is drawn using energy gems.
According to Alex's calculations, after this armor has been used for more than one hundred and twenty years, it will need to be redrawn into a refining array. At that time, it is estimated that the level of science and technology has developed, and this set of armor will not be needed.
After flying out of the atmosphere, Alex looked up to the left and right, and saw that the moon and the sun were the most conspicuous stars against a void background. At this time, space was very clean, there were not many man-made objects, and there were not as many satellites as in later generations.
It didn't take a few hours to fly from the Earth to the Moon, it was very fast. If it is launched by a rocket, it may take a long time, because the spacecraft do not fly in a straight line, and they need to go to the earth orbit first, then leave the earth orbit, and then walk a long curve.
Alex doesn't have to be so troublesome in Iron Man armor, he can accelerate to the moon with a strong acceleration and walk in a straight line. In the case of full acceleration, his speed will only get faster and faster, reaching dozens of times the speed of sound, or even higher at the most extreme speed. As long as the human body can withstand it, it can continue to accelerate.
The armor's acceleration is not based on the principle of rocket jets, but through a telekinesis similar principle of flight, but unfortunately it can only be applied to the armor, not other objects, otherwise, Alex would have the equivalent of having telekinesis.
The moon is desolate, full of dust.
Alex found a place to land based on the coordinates provided by NASA, then took the flagpole out of the box and planted it on the ground.
Although the moon's gravity is small, it does not affect Alex's movements at all. He can fly on the surface of the moon very flexibly and freely, but the accuracy is a little low, not as accustomed to as on Earth.
"That's it! The flagpole has been planted, so let's get some footprints out. Alex took out a pair of astronaut shoes, put them on, and walked around the surface of the moon for a while. At this time, he felt the difficulty of walking on the moon.
After tossing for a while, he took off his shoes and threw them into outer space. As for whether it will still fall on the moon in the future, then he doesn't know, but it looks like it is flying high and far.
When the shoes were finished, he then took out the garbage from the box, throwing a little in the east and some in the west. These are all parts or tools on the spacecraft, and if Armstrong does make it to the moon, they will definitely leave a lot of objects on the moon.
After the forgery was made on the spot, Alex also threw the box into space. Then I slowly flew up, checked my work, and thought it was pretty good.
"Now that you're on the moon, let's go around!" Alex thought to himself that he didn't want to return to Earth so soon. "Maybe we'll be able to find some traces left by the Moon Demon!"
The moon is full of ring-shaped volcanoes, or craters. There is a theory that it is precisely because of the existence of the moon that life on Earth can develop, otherwise meteorites fall every once in a while can kill life on Earth. And the moon is like a babysitter, landing most of the meteorites on the moon.
Standing on the moon and looking at the Earth is a great experience, and it feels as if everything on earth is far away. The earth is blue and white, suspended in the void, blue for the ocean and white for the clouds. It's very special, it's completely different from other planets.
The Moon is always facing the Earth, and this side is traditionally called the front. There is another side, and the far side of the moon is mostly not visible from the Earth, except in the area near the edge of the lunar surface that is visible in the middle due to the movement of the scales. In the years when there were no probes, the dark side of the moon remained an unknown world.
Since the Soviet Union and the United States successively launched probes to the moon, people have been able to see this side of the scene, and one of the major features of the far side of the moon is that there is almost no uneven lunar surface feature like the lunar sea. There is also the fact that when an artificial probe is on the far side of the moon, it will not be able to communicate directly with Earth.
Alex has also seen NASA's photos of the far side of the moon, but he thinks there must be something hidden in these photos. Even as a human being, when you want to get some world-level secrets, you have to pay a price. For example, if Alex wants to know the ins and outs of the Moon Demon's secrets, he will probably have to be involved in the struggle between Freemasonry and the Illuminati.
This is the kind of price that Alex is not willing to pay. He would rather explore it on his own, or wait for others to tell him what they want from him. Just like Hughes, Lord Newton, and others did.
After flying to the far side of the moon, Alex was surprised to find that this side appeared much smoother. However, this side should be more vulnerable to meteorite attacks, because this side is facing the outer universe, and as for the side facing the earth, unless the meteorite changes its trajectory due to the gravitational pull of the moon and crashes into it like a moth to a fire. Otherwise, such a huge contrast simply doesn't make sense.
Shortly after flying around this side, Alex soon noticed something unusual, a man-made object on the far side of the moon.
"Huh? What is that? Alex quickly slowed down and landed. He saw a spaceship, which looked like it was made of black iron, and it exuded a heavy and thick aura.
At first, Alex wondered why the ship looked like it had no signs of age, unlike thousands of years on the moon. Soon, he noticed a familiar logo printed on the ship: "Scythe and hammer!" ”
It turned out to be a Soviet spaceship! This is not the place where the Soviets landed on the moon for the first time, which means that it was the second or third moon landing, and the outside world did not get any information at all.
"What the hell are these guys doing? Go down and have a look! Alex landed on the surface of the moon, ready to observe the Soviet cosmonauts up close. Although there are no detectors in the Iron Man armor he wears, with his ripple energy perception and the bonus of refining array, he can "see" things far away outside the armor.
