111: Moon landing, suspected extraterrestrial civilization? (Third update

"Of course!"

The System gave an affirmative answer.

"You can command the Sky Carrier to descend upon the world, pointing its sword at the West, and make them hand over the cultural relics belonging to your country that are scattered abroad. As long as you participate, even if it's not through stealthy theft, you can still receive the corresponding series of mission rewards."

"Furthermore, if your country's technology becomes incredibly powerful due to your help, causing them to voluntarily return your country's cultural relics out of fear, pressure, or other reasons, you will receive even more rewards!"

"Theft, after all, is a minor skill. When you or your country becomes powerful to a certain extent, making them voluntarily return the items—that is true ingenuity!"

"At that time, in addition to national treasure value and series mission rewards, you will also gain a massive amount of fame value and can trigger special rewards."

"Therefore, after calculation, System believes that your current priority for Moon is the most cost-effective choice."

"..." Lin Yang's eyes flickered.

This broken... System, its words are quite meaningful, aren't they?

Theft is a minor skill; openly taking it back... *cough cough*, bringing it back, that's great ingenuity!

Those words are quite interesting.

"Alright, then let's go to Moon first. Do I need to prepare anything else?"

Lin Yang asked, while simultaneously exchanging for two primary planetary communicators.

One would stay on Blue Star, and one he would take to Moon.

"Not needed for now."

"Alright, then let's go!"

Lin Yang's voice trembled slightly.

Moon!

Not to mention the significance of the Moon to the people of Shangxia.

From ancient times to the present, a large number of literati and poets have left numerous records related to the Moon, whether in poetry or prose.

It carries an unparalleled sense of longing and remembrance.

For the people of Shangxia, the Moon symbolizes reunion and a distant yearning for loved ones.

It has witnessed too many joys and sorrows of the Shangxia people from ancient times to the present.

The ancients did not see the Moon of today, but today's Moon once shone upon the ancients.

And now, he finally has the opportunity to personally set foot on this mysterious Moon.

It's hard not to be excited.

Furthermore, from a personal perspective, exploring the universe, traveling to other planets, and embarking on interstellar journeys are things that every modern person yearns for.

Lin Yang is naturally no exception.

This is a real interstellar journey!

He entered the temporary interstellar lander he had obtained last time and took two deep breaths.

"Host, please prepare. The interstellar lander is about to launch."

"Launch it," Lin Yang said, but then he immediately added, "Wait, won't it be detected by various countries when it ascends? And in space, won't it be photographed and seen by people on the Space Station and satellites?"

"Host, please rest assured. This temporary lander also has stealth capabilities. With Blue Star's current technological power, it cannot be detected. Moreover, System has already planned the route to land on the far side of Moon, so it will not be discovered by anyone."

"Even if people on the Space Station happen to see the lander rushing out of Earth at that moment, they will only feel a streak of light flashing by and won't be able to see the lander's appearance."

"That's good, then let's take off."

Lin Yang nodded slightly and lay down.

Although it wouldn't matter even if he were discovered, it's better not to expose himself if possible.

To prevent the Unpretty United States from taking countermeasures.

The next instant, the lander closed directly.

"Host, during this process, you don't need to close your eyes. Although the lander's speed is extremely fast, you can still see a glimpse of the cosmic starry sky."

After the lander started, System kindly reminded him.

"Cough cough, I thought it would be like those escape pods in sci-fi movies, where you have to go into hibernation."

Lin Yang gave an awkward smile and opened his eyes.

"That's hibernation technology only needed for ultra-long-distance interstellar travel. From Blue Star to Moon is not far. At the lander's speed, it won't take long to arrive, so no hibernation is needed."

"Moreover, hibernation actually means that the technological civilization is not advanced enough to perform continuous space jumps or to counteract the harm of continuous jumps to the human body."

"Oh, oh..." Lin Yang watched the lander ascend at an extremely fast speed, his mood completely stirred.

The Earth rapidly shrank, and in what felt like the blink of an eye, they had directly rushed out of Blue Star and into outer space.

"Holy crap, that fast!"

Lin Yang looked at the scene that abruptly changed to outer space and the vast blue planet, utterly shocked.

This speed... it's ridiculously fast!

"Host, you will arrive at Moon in five minutes. Please prepare for landing."

"Five, five minutes? Are you kidding me?"

Hearing this reminder from System, Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat again.

As is well known, under normal circumstances, with Blue Star's current technological level, it takes at least a week on average to reach Moon!

Even the Unpretty United States' Apollo mission took more than four days.

And domestic Moon probes even take more than ten days.

But this lander, only five minutes?

"Don't we need to first merge into Blue Star's orbit and then enter Moon's orbit and circle a few times? Just directly rush into Moon?"

"No need, Host. Although this is only a temporary lander, it cannot be compared to Blue Star's current technological level. There's no need for such trouble."

"...Alright!"

Lin Yang could only express his amazement, then began to put on the spacesuit.

Almost as he was conversing with System for those short dozen seconds, the lander transformed into a streak of light, moving away from Blue Star and heading straight for Moon.

...

At the same time, in the Shangxia Space Station in outer space above Blue Star.

Expert Yu Can from the Aerospace Institute, who was working in the Space Station this time, happened to be monitoring data in the direction of Blue Star. Seeing the streak of light suddenly rush out from within Blue Star, his eyes blinked several times in quick succession, then his expression instantly turned serious as he hurriedly shouted:

"Old Zheng, Zheng Guanghan, quick, look, did you see it? It seems like something rushed out from inside Blue Star. It was too fast, I couldn't see it clearly before it flew far away!"

"I saw it!"

Next to Yu Can, Zheng Guanghan, another Expert from the Aerospace Institute, also had a solemn expression!

Then, the two stared as the streak of light shot towards Moon, disappearing from their sight in the blink of an eye.

The next instant, the two turned around in unison, looking at each other, both seeing the shock and terror in the other's eyes!

After a moment of silence.

Yu Can spoke first: "Old Zheng, what do you think that streak of light could be?"

"I'm not sure. It looked like a meteor, but even a meteor's speed probably isn't that fast, and it looked like it came out from inside Blue Star!" Zheng Guanghan's tone was extremely grave.

"So, should we report it now?" Yu Can asked again.

"What are your thoughts?" Zheng Guanghan countered.

"I think we should report it. If it were just me, perhaps I saw wrong, or it was an illusion, but you saw it too, so we can't ignore it."

"This came out from inside Blue Star. I suspect there might really be some unknown alien civilization that has been lurking, and this time we just happened to see it."

Yu Can spoke solemnly.

"Whether it is or not, we must prepare for the best and worst-case scenarios!"

Saying that, he pointed to the monitoring equipment screen in front of them.

"After all, our monitoring equipment didn't even scan that streak of light just now. This means that streak of light is very likely some kind of extraterrestrial civilization's spaceship, possessing powerful stealth capabilities that shielded it from our detection!"

"We must report this!"

"This could concern the future destiny of all human civilization on Blue Star!"

As promised, three chapters, three consecutive updates, the third update is here!
