Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 139: Foreign Objects in the Moon's Coat

Fan Chen looked at the state of the lunar surface through the 39 SkyNet Satellites in the High Earth Orbit, and sensed that there was something strange in this. The star in the Solar System is the Sun, has a very hot temperature and illuminates almost all the planets in the Solar System, but suddenly a very small laser beam shot into the Moon and changed its color in an instant.

This is so strange, how could sunlight lose to a small laser beam.

"Scan the whole month."

Xiaochu next to Fan Chen, gave control over all the shuttle drones on the Moon. "Releasing 200 Space Drones to scan the Moon."

The two hundred Space Drones, powered by small Ion-Pushing Engines, fly around the Moon at standard speeds around the Moon while releasing infrared rays to detect it. Detecting the inside of an object with a diameter of 3,474.8 kilometers is not easy, even to detect a building with a length and width of 100 × 50 meters requires several revolutions.

"In airtight outer space, light can move freely without constraints, but to scan the inside of the Moon, it's too difficult." Astrological Scientist Zhang Junda shook his head.

Fan Chen knew this, but there was nothing to do but try to scan the inside of the Moon through the Space Drone.

"Xiaochu, how did the Intelligence Department respond from countries around the world?"

Xiaochu raised his hand towards the large screen in front of him. "The Superpower requested access to view the monitoring of the SkyNet Satellite and the Heilong Telescope, as for the other small countries in the western hemisphere, they considered us nonsense because it was still daytime."

"Small countries still survive?" Fan Chen was puzzled, even the Sun Country that had the No. 06 strong military from all over the world had already lost half the land.

"Their country is in the middle of the land, far from the sea so it is safe from the attack of mutant beasts that have a high level." Xiaochu shows the western countries in a variety of colors.

The red color means that the country is experiencing severe destruction, and almost all the red color is in the part bordering the sea. The color orange is a country that is threatened with destruction. The yellow color should be careful and the yellow colored state on average has a small area and is flanked by a strong state.

The Guangdong area is orange and in Shenzhen it is almost red because it is close to the ocean, let alone Hong Kong.

"Give fake access, monitor all countries requesting access to SkyNet Satellite and Heilong Telescope. When these people perform the operation, try to control the SkyNet Satellite and the Heilong Telescope, making it look as if they can move it. But try to avoid the lunar surface on which the base is built."

Where could Fan Chen give them access, so he could only grant them false access. Xiaochu will penetrate their defenses, use cameras there and control the SkyNet Satellite and Heilong Telescope according to what input is entered, but when directing it to the Moon or Earth, it will be, there will be warnings such as insufficient access.

"Good, Master."

Fan Chen refocused himself on the screen in front of him, he saw the scan was almost complete.

[80% ... 88% ... 99% ... 100%]

[Successfully scanned the Moon]

Fan Chen stretched out his right hand, grasped it and turned around making a gesture like throwing it at the round table behind him.

The holographic device flashed as it detected Fan Chen's hand movements and projected the Moon in the form of red stripes as well as constantly changing numerical parameters.

Initially, Fan Chen was just second-guessing what was inside the Moon and while scanning earlier, he had hoped that his guess was wrong, but what was shown in front of him really made him shaken.

This foreign object enclosed the Inner Core, Outer Core, Partial Melt, Coat 712 kilometers thick, then another Coat on it 493 kilometers thick, then there was a 52 kilometer thick Crust, and the surface of the moon is 18 kilometers thick.

Fan Chen sat on the chair while squeezing his head. "Wait!" He stood up and slammed both hands on the table. "How can the Space Drone scan objects buried as far as 563 kilometers from the surface? The infrared ray technology used is the same as that on Earth, but we can't even scan a depth of 500 meters from the ground."

Scientist Xu Chen looked at the holographic projection while rubbing his chin. "We don't need to think about our technological advances or other possibilities, but just take the worst, maybe, maybe, this thing inside releases electromagnetic waves that let the Space Drone scan it even if it's buried deep in the mantle."

Fan Chen opened his mouth about to speak, but he held it in and took a deep breath. He had to calm down before speaking, he did not want the panic to overwhelm him which made his pride fall in front of everyone. As the Captain of Mingyue Defense, he had to show his calmness and authority, never showing panic and fear.

Fan Chen opened both hands and cupped his hands, making the projection shrink to reveal the Solar System surrounded by Hydrogen Walls. He made a straight line from the Moon to one of the points on the Hydrogen Wall.

"Because we estimate the worst, then let's think more cruelly. Long before humans were created on Earth, there were other civilizations outside the Solar System such as Alpha Centauri, Barnard's Star, Proxima Centauri, Sirius, Vega, Arcturus, Betelgeuse, Rigel, and others, and another star system in the Orion Arm ..."

"So, civilizations in one of these star systems came to the Solar System, counting every planet and getting the result that Earth after millions of years of evolution would produce intelligent life. So, this civilization built a device inside the Moon, or maybe outside the Moon, and then an asteroid hit this alien body to form the Moon that it is today."

Fan Chen opened the mineral bottle and downed half of it.

The scientists here did not cut off Fan Chen's conversation, they listened carefully.

"There is a legend that says that the Continent of Atlantis is the continent with the most advanced technology on Earth, and the Continent of Atlantis is lost without a trace. What if, this is if, we ourselves do not know the truth or not, or maybe the story of the Continent of Atlantis is just a lie, but there is no harm in us considering it true ..."

"Civilization outside activates the tools inside the Moon, affect the gravity of the moon to make sea water on Earth rise so that a tsunami that reaches the clouds, this tsunami wiped out the Continent of Atlantis."

"Let's assume that the Continent of Atlantis was the First Era, and now it is the Second Era. The First Disaster was a mutant beast, the Second Disaster was a zombie. From Space Worms coming from space, we can assume this is a biological virus from the outside that can increase the strength of animals ..."

"Then there are biochemical viruses, viruses that make humans and animals into the undead like the ones out there. As for the current Red Moon event, let's assume that the moonlight that illuminates the entire surface of the earth is radiation that increases the increase of mutant beasts, as well as making zombies grow wild."

Fan Chen gulped and was silent, he again downed the drinking water due to his dry lips.

Scientist Xu Chen nodded when he heard the speculation about the Red Moon that occurred today. "Yes, even if it's just speculation, but we can take it seriously. Moreover, we ourselves detect this foreign object is indeed inside the Moon, now, we have to dig it and infiltrate it ..."

Zhang Junda let out a long sigh and said, "Additional, perhaps the Hydrogen Wall back then has not appeared, and now the Hydrogen Wall exists to protect the Solar System from the invasion of this civilization in the Orion Arm. Why don't they come? Isn't the Hydrogen Wall hot enough to stop them? Let's speculate, there was a storm of electromagnetic pulses inside the Hydrogen Wall that even other advanced civilizations in the Orion Arm couldn't withstand the impact, and their planes were destroyed while trying to enter, so it can only send a small laser beam to activate this foreign object."

Fan Chen nodded his head, he looked at everyone here and said, "The task of cleaning up the mutant beasts and zombies in China, we leave it to Basel. Xiaochu, I want you to continue counting the Moon and the Hydrogen Wall non-stop, continue to provide information periodically. Then, let's think about how to take over this foreign object and use it to attack the alleged other civilizations."
