122: Prepare for the worst

From within the Moon, an attacking stream of light shot directly towards the Unpretty joint spacecraft!

This scene made everyone worldwide watching the live broadcast hold their breath in an instant.

The high-ranking officials of Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce changed their expressions drastically, staring intently at the white stream of light.

This joint spacecraft was built with the combined strength of their two nations after sharing technology, and the financial resources expended were countless!

Moreover, it carried the most outstanding Astronauts from both nations!

If anything were to go wrong…

“Damn it, could there really be Aliens on the Moon?”

The Unpretty official's face was ashen, and his eyes were almost spitting fire.

After failing to attack the domestic spacecraft just now, their own spacecraft was now under attack, which felt terrible!

“Perhaps, it’s just a cosmic stream of light phenomenon, just a coincidence?”

The Little Eagle Sauce official spoke with a hint of anticipation, hoping it was just a coincidence.

Because the cost of a spacecraft accident was something neither of their nations could bear!

“Whether it’s a coincidence or not, as long as this stream of light hits the spacecraft, the spacecraft might lose its power to return!”

The Aerospace Experts from both nations were all very pessimistic.

They knew their own technology; although their two nations shared technology and their aerospace technology was far ahead of other countries on Blue Star, due to material limitations, the Moon spacecraft currently could not withstand cosmic phenomena or high-energy weapon attacks as depicted in sci-fi blockbusters.

Listening to the Experts, the high-ranking officials of Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce began to pray in their hearts that this was just a coincidental cosmic stream of light phenomenon.

Because compared to there being Aliens on the Moon, they preferred to believe it was just a coincidence.

After all, if there really were Aliens, then an attack from Alien technology was definitely something their spacecraft could not withstand.

No sooner said than done.

Under the tense gaze of people worldwide, the stream of light surging from within the Moon directly struck the joint spacecraft.

Then, a dazzling white light erupted.

The white light was so dazzling that the broadcast screen turned completely white, making it impossible to see what was happening.

Immediately after, the worldwide live broadcast screen instantly went completely black.

“What’s going on?”

“Why did it go black?”

“Was that stream of light really sent by Aliens?”

This sudden black screen made everyone anxious.

Just when they were watching a critical moment, a sudden black screen made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Not only were the Netizens anxious, but the people from Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce were even more anxious.

They were even more eager to see the current situation of their spacecraft.

Inside the Great Science Academy.

Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong and others were equally nervous.

Although the stream of light just now attacked the joint spacecraft and not the domestic spacecraft, no one could help but worry about such an unexpected event.

“Old Song, what’s going on?” They then directly connected with Song Changming, who was far away at the Aerospace Base.

At the same time, the Academicians and Experts of the Aerospace Institute within the Aerospace Base were nervously calculating and attempting to contact the spacecraft.

Song Changming’s expression was also serious; he glanced at the data analysis report and said:

“Preliminary estimates suggest it should be strong electromagnetic interference, causing the Moon spacecraft to lose contact with us, which prevents us from getting images.”

“Electromagnetic interference? Is it artificial or…?”

Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong exchanged glances.

“Hard to say.” Song Changming shook his head. “The stream of light appeared too suddenly. If it were a cosmic phenomenon, it would be too much of a coincidence, not to mention being accompanied by such strong electromagnetic interference waves.”

“Then you mean… there really is an Alien civilization on the Moon?”

Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong both changed their expressions simultaneously.

Song Changming shook his head again: “Before seeing it with my own eyes, I cannot make such a conclusion. Currently, I can only say that the possibility of this being a cosmic phenomenon is extremely, extremely low!”

“Then our spacecraft won’t be in trouble, will it?” Zhao Zizhen quickly asked.

“We are trying to contact the spacecraft using every available means,” Song Changming said in a deep voice.

These words made Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong’s hearts sink slightly.

They understood Song Changming’s implication: although the stream of light just now was not directed at the domestic spacecraft, no one could guarantee the outcome.

“Let’s explain it to everyone first.”

After a moment of silence, Ye Guhong spoke.

Currently, various rumors online were rampant, with all sorts of claims.

Soon, the official account of the Great Science Academy posted a notice on behalf of the Aerospace Institute.

It stated that the current black screen was very likely due to a sudden encounter with a strong electromagnetic storm interference in space, and asked everyone to wait patiently.

“Cosmic electromagnetic storm interference?”

“Holy cow, why did this electromagnetic storm come at such a critical moment, not sooner or later?”

“This electromagnetic storm is truly damned; it just happened to interrupt us from watching the most crucial footage. I wonder how Unpretty’s joint spacecraft is doing now.”

“Hope our spacecraft and Astronauts aren’t affected!”

Although there was an official explanation, which calmed the agitated Netizens considerably, their curiosity had not diminished at all.

They were all eagerly awaiting the electromagnetic storm to pass quickly, wanting to see whether it was a cosmic phenomenon or if there truly were Aliens.

Time passed bit by bit, and the live broadcast screen remained black.

The Aerospace Base also still could not contact the Moon spacecraft.

Soon, five minutes passed.

The screen did not recover, and the Aerospace Base still had not contacted the Moon spacecraft.

This caused all the Academicians and Experts at the Aerospace Base to show solemn expressions.

Because electromagnetic storms generally do not last too long, especially as no strong interference electromagnetic storm lasting five minutes had been detected on the Moon for many years.

This meant that the situation just now might not be an accidental cosmic phenomenon; it was highly likely that an extraterrestrial civilization indeed existed on the Moon.

“Let’s… prepare for the worst.”

Song Changming looked at the latest monitoring data and said to Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong.

“The worst?”

These words made Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong’s hearts skip a beat.

“Yes, we must be prepared for losing contact with the spacecraft, and at the same time, we must be prepared for the existence of an extraterrestrial civilization on the Moon,” Song Changming sighed.

Ye Guhong was silent for a while, then slowly said: “Let’s wait and see. Only five minutes have passed; it’s a bit too early to make a conclusion now.”

Zhao Zizhen’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: “If the images transmitted by the spacecraft are lost, what about the satellites we launched to the Moon before? Can the satellites still transmit images?”

“No, the electromagnetic storm that erupted at that instant caused all satellites to lose contact simultaneously, which is why our calculations suggest that this electromagnetic storm should not have been an accidental eruption.”

Song Changming sighed again, and at the same time, re-emphasized:

“Therefore, we must prepare for the worst!”
