Chapter 396 Human Star

Four days later.

In the lunar orbit, a spider-like landing module with six front and rear legs detached from the working module and began orbiting the moon along a huge arc.

After several fine-tuning of the angle, the landing module was captured by the moon's gravity, and the falling shape and angle gradually stabilized. Then the partition in front of the camera opened, and the landing module saw the desolate planet for the first time.

The high-speed cameras and advanced chips are protected by the armor spell outside the magic isolation coating. The data stream is steadily transmitted to the work cabin, which is then forwarded back to the earth through high-power laser communication equipment.

As a result, the Earth's moon landing command room also saw that scene two seconds later.

That's an image of the front side of the moon.

There was a burst of cheers in the command room. At this point, the launch mission has been basically completed. There are three items to be tested: the availability of the floating spell during the launch phase, the reliability of the traceless stretch spell in long-distance navigation, and the final communication stability. Sex has achieved satisfactory results.

Next, every second the detection satellite exists is extra money earned.

Everyone was relaxed, and occasionally people walked around and patted each other on the shoulders.

Murphy was still waiting. The orbit of the landing module was still too high. At this moment, it could only see some craters and the like.

Need to get closer.

"According to our latest calculations, the location of the protozoa should be the very center of the far side of the moon, and the landing module can land there after decelerating twice."

After more than ten hours, the landing module circled the moon, then slowed down again, gradually falling toward the lunar surface, and finally reached a low enough position. It quickly passed over the lunar surface, and circled from the front to the back of the moon. .

It quickly passed over the Jules Verne crater, slowed down again, adjusted the landing position, and then passed over the Tsiolkovsky crater. In front of it was the center of the moon's back where it was scheduled to land, a valley in the Soviet mountain system. .

At this moment, the sun was in the right position, and the field of view was very clear. The high-speed camera clearly transmitted the scene on the back of the moon back to the control room.

A spectacular mountain range appeared in the field of view of the landing module. This mountain range was very irregular, covered with towering cliffs and abyss-like valleys. The speed of the landing module further decreased, the landing engine was ignited, and after the third attitude adjustment, it dropped from ten From a height of about 5,000 meters, we began to slowly descend.

Below is an area surrounded by towering moon rocks, but deeper there is darkness due to the angle of incidence of sunlight.

"Why do they look like artificial structures..." someone next to them said suddenly.

Murphy also saw clearly the appearance of those moon rocks. Indeed, compared to the strange-shaped moon rocks elsewhere, or the craters impacted by meteorites, the shape of the moon rocks here is a bit too regular, and they form a circle. , but it does not look like it was formed by a meteorite impact. They almost all have roughly similar outlines. Instead, they seem to be made of several ring-shaped stones - deep wells.

"This thing, isn't it?" someone exclaimed in surprise. "Although no detector has ever observed this place at this altitude, some photos from higher altitudes have been taken in the past. If this place looked like this, it would have been there long ago. It was discovered..."

Murphy frowned and suddenly thought of the word, "Magic Insider Effect..."

But at this moment, the high-speed camera seemed to have some malfunctions and kept flashing. In the occasional pictures, you could see the shadow of a piece of schist rock pillars below. Those rock pillars were covered with irregular outlines. .

But before they could see it more clearly, a red light suddenly lit up below.

In the darkness below surrounded by circular moon rocks, tall stone statues stand in the valley. They are standing or lying in different postures. Most of the stone statues are dilapidated, and some have even fallen to the ground, their bodies broken into pieces. The stones have been removed, but there are still many stone statues that look like they were newly carved, as if they have never been exposed to any weather.

In the eternally silent space, a tiny star suddenly appeared in the abyss-like sky and slowly began to fall.

Suddenly, a stone statue shook and cracked numerous cracks.

Soon, more stone statues began to vibrate, and in the "clack, click, click" sound, it seemed as if countless debris fell down as the stone statues vibrated.

"star……"

"The Star of Man..."

"The time has come..."

With a crash, a huge gap opened in the head of a stone statue, and a shining red eye burned sternly in it.

The next moment, a red light shot into the air.

However, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared in mid-air, reflecting the light back like a mirror, plowing huge ravines in the valley.

At the same time, the flickering picture in the control room suddenly flickered, and then turned into a snowflake.

The signal was lost, but the landing module did not crash, but continued to descend. The stone statues below started to commotion. A stone statue squatted down, then jumped up with a bang, and rushed out like a cannonball, about to come into contact with the landing module. , but at this moment, a shadow of a chain suddenly appeared on its body.

The next moment, the chain turned from virtual to solid, and with a bang, it was tightly pulled.

The landing module also stopped descending. It stopped at a position more than a hundred meters above the valley. There was obviously nothing there, but it seemed to have landed firmly on a piece of glass and stopped moving.

"Its power..."

"weakened……"

The next moment, countless stone statues moved. They jumped up one after another, but were eventually fixed in the air by chains. Then new stone statues ran upwards along those physical chains, and then were pulled by the new chains again.

Countless stone statues were finally stacked up like Arhats in the valley, getting higher and higher, and more and more chains were entangled, tying up the stone statues like rice dumplings.

Below, the stone statue that had just emitted red light squatted down, and then suddenly ran wildly, running upwards along the mountain of stone statues that had been tightened by thousands of chains, like a stone pillar, and countless chains emerged from the ground again. , tried to stop it, but a bloody spear appeared in its hand, and the chains were blocked by it, unable to bind it for a while.

But an illusory chain also appeared on it. The moment it reached the top of the stone pillar, the chain turned from imaginary to real, pulling it in instantly. The huge pulling force even made the entire valley tremble.

However, the spear in his hand was thrown by him, and suddenly turned into a bloody meteor. With a "bang", it actually pierced the transparent dome and was firmly fixed on it.

The entire valley shook violently, and the transparent barrier suddenly lit up with a dazzling light. The next moment, with a "click", the dome cut off the spear and restored it to integrity.

However, the red spear tip that was broken outside the dome squirmed, then bounced up like a bug and jumped into the lander.

Immediately, the six metal legs of the landing module came to life, squatted down to accumulate strength, and then suddenly jumped into the air.

Several chains below pursued them like long snake tentacles, but the landing module suddenly disappeared from the sky, jumped hundreds of meters higher, and got rid of the chains.

At the same time, the landing engine, which had obviously run out of fuel, emitted blue tail flames and rushed towards the work module staying in lunar orbit in deep space at an alarming speed.

"What happened? The signal disappeared..."

In the Earth command room, people were checking various parameters in confusion, trying to find the reason why the landing module signal disappeared.

But at this moment, a researcher saw the data on the screen and was stunned for a moment, "Director, our landing module has no return plan, right?"

"It seems to be returning to lunar orbit!"
