People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon-Chapter 3

White Rabbit No.9 Is Missing!

“It’s been an hour. I can’t believe it. They’re still playing footage of White Rabbit No. 1 when the moon landing is happening right now …”

“They must have discovered something that they can’t tell us about…”

“Is it possible that there are aliens waiting outside the lander?”

“Maybe, I guess. Perhaps the aliens said hi at the three astronauts and said,’Welcome to the Moon’ or something.”

The live broadcast of White Rabbit Nine’s manned moon landing was cut off for an hour.

The capital city of Xia didn’t give any other explanation other than asking the host, Du Dan, to come out and explain that the signal was interrupted due to electromagnetic interference.

Despite being able to see only old footage of the previous landing, the people sitting in front of the television and in the live broadcast room did not dare to leave for a moment. They were afraid that they would miss an important scene.

On the internet’s hot topic list, the hottest topic were #livestream interrupted for an hour# and #what exactly is on the moon#.

The top ten trending searches were all related to the Moon. It appeared that everyone in the great nation of Xia was talking about this.

Meanwhile, the same kind of discussions were also held in other countries.

“Can anyone use a VPN to check what’s happening in Xia right now? Are they watching the old footage as well, or is it just us?!”

“The live broadcast is hosted by Xia’s government, right? Judging from the quality, I almost thought that it was streamed by some small media company…”

“I came back from Xia’s live broadcast. The livestream in the great nation of Xia is the same as what we’ve seen. It’s all replays…”

“What’s going on? Did they discover something?”

“What the hell is Great Xia doing? They’re doing a live broadcast and a one-hour replay. Who are they trying to fool?!”

..

Thomas replied, “Great Xia’s live broadcast was interrupted for an hour. The reason for it is because of electromagnetic interference. However, as far as we know, there doesn’t seem to be any external electromagnetic interference near the landing site on the dark side of the moon…”

“Yeah, electromagnetic interference. Wait, you said there isn’t any?”

Chief Engineer Yang coughed and smiled. “Ah, right, right, right. There’s a small glitch in our equipment. The camera that we developed turned black. We couldn’t adjust it for a long time…”

After hanging up, Thomas instructed, “Mobilize the Zeus detector and search for any electromagnetic waves near the moon…”

He suspected that there might really be some electromagnetic waves on the dark side of the moon. As it turned out, Great Xia had detected it while they had not. This was very scary to him.

This meant that the great nation of Xia’s detection technology, in a certain aspect, might have surpassed theirs!

He hung up the phone in regret. Calling didn’t help at all. Not only did he not get any useful information, he also increased his workload by having to call for a full investigation.

“What the hell is Great Xia doing?!”

Thomas browsed through the comments on the Internet. All the comments were saying everyone suspected that Great Xia have discovered aliens.

This was not impossible. Humans had launched many satellites onto the moon. They knew very well the condition of the moon’s surface. However, who knew if there wasn’t any extraterrestrial technology that deceived them this whole time?

“Which satellites do we have on the dark side of the moon right now?” he asked.

“We need ones that can see the landing point of White Rabbit Nine…”

“Not at the moment, Sir. The nearest long-orbit satellite will be in a day’s time…”

“Get that satellite ready at all times. Focus on observing the situation at White Rabbit Nine’s landing point a day later…”

The entire world was paying attention to Great Xia’s manned moon landing, and these people were no exception.

When White Rabbit Nine reached the dark side of the moon, it was not that they did not want to continue monitoring. The thing was, their satellites on the moon happened to have limited capacity. Furthermore, the dark side could not be observed directly through Earth’s equipment, so they could only obtain information from Great Xia’s official website.

..

Meanwhile, in the Great Xia Space Agency.

“Are you sure that the filming location is the landing point?!”

Chief Engineer Yang stared at the image from the lunar exploration satellite. He was a little confused.

On the screen, there was no White Rabbit Nine Landing Cabin. The ground was barren. The spaceship, too. There was not even a single trace of landing.

“We’re sure. We’ve used three algorithms to calculate. The location captured by the satellite is correct. It’s where White Rabbit Nine landed…” The staff member said affirmatively, but his tone was filled with uncertainty.

“Then tell me, where’s the spaceship? Where are they?!”

Chief Engineer Yang’s voice trembled. This kind of thing had never happened before. He did not know what the consequences would be.

All the staff members looked at the images sent back by the satellite. They were all at a loss and were terrified to find out what happened.

They all watched as White Rabbit Nine was being launched from the ground and flew toward the moon. They watched it all, step by step, before the spaceship finally landed on the dark side of the moon.

Some people even suspected that they had a problem with their memory, so they found the video of White Rabbit Nine landing on the moon. After taking a good look, they confirmed that White Rabbit Nine had, indeed, landed on the moon from outer space.

After a long silence, someone finally couldn’t help but say, “Chief Engineer Yang, perhaps there’s something wrong with this long-orbit detection satellite. Maybe there was a problem with the image transmission…”

“Why don’t we let the near-orbit satellite take a look again?!”

Chief Engineer Yang nodded slightly. He felt that the possibility of an error during image transmission was very high. Otherwise, what could have explained the disappearance of a giant spaceship?

“How long before the nearest near-orbit satellite arrives?!”

“Two days!”

“What about the other forces?” he asked.

“There are five satellites on the moon. The satellites of Asan are assembled, and the images are synthesised in the later stages. They don’t have the capability to observe the landing point…”

“The technology inherited by the Northern Bear lacks maintenance, and there is no satellite landing point…”

“The Five Eyes does have a remote satellite landing point. It will take three days for them to arrive…”

“The closest ones belong to Thomas. Their long-orbit satellite would pass through the landing point in a day…”

“Boss, should we contact them?”

“No, they won’t tell us the truth…”

Chief Engineer Yang pondered for a moment and said, “Their long-orbit satellite will arrive in a day. Let’s see how they will react then…”
