At this moment, a scientist pushed open the office door.
He ran up to Zhou Zhezhi in small steps and said excitedly: "Ghost! The ghost pushed the moon away!"
His voice enters everyone's ears through the simultaneous interpretation system.
Everyone was stunned.
Scientists explain: "The distance between the Earth and the moon is increasing and has been doing so for several minutes!"
The excitement could not be concealed on his face.
This time the ghost is different from the past. It is too persistent and has no intention of decaying at all. It seems to be kicking the moon away in one breath.
Zhou Zhezhi hesitated and said: "Is this news true?"
The scientist replied: "Absolutely true!"
After confirming that the data was correct, he came to report the news to Zhou Zhezhi.
"The space station also transmitted the same observation results!"
"If we can maintain the current push speed, the distance between the earth and the moon will return to a safe range in at most fifteen minutes!"
The scientist said, unable to conceal his excitement.
"Okay, okay..."
Zhou Zhe was full of praise.
At this moment, the tension in his heart relaxed.
Humanity can be saved.
As for what the ghost is, he doesn't want to delve into it at the moment, because this ghost is really beyond the scope of human exploration.
"Commander in Chief!" Zhou Zhe turned his wheelchair, "Let the people on the moon stop, there is no need for them to detonate nuclear bombs!"
The commander-in-chief also heard what the scientist said.
But he shook his head.
"I'm sorry, sir!" he said forcefully, "I can't give such a hasty order!"
Zhou Zhe was slightly startled.
"I don't know this guy at all, I don't know what he's talking about!" the commander-in-chief sneered, "What kind of ghost is pushing the moon? It's simply ridiculous!"
The ghost is a secret, known only to scientists and dignitaries involved in related projects.
The commander-in-chief was not among them.
Zhou Zhe frowned.
There are only the last few minutes left. If the astronauts on the moon are not notified in time to stop detonating, then the most courageous and dedicated team of astronauts in mankind will be completely wiped out.
"Take your president's call."
Suddenly, Hao Xiaoxi raised his cell phone.
Zhou Zhe glanced at Hao Xiaoxi in surprise. He didn't notice at all when Hao Xiaoxi called the other president.
"Your president also ordered you to halt your detonation plans."
Hao Xiaoxi stressed: "Please stop immediately!"
The commander-in-chief took the phone hesitantly and put the receiver to his ear. After a few seconds, his face changed drastically.
"Yes! I understand!"
"OK!"
"Do it right away!"
The commander-in-chief returned the phone to Hao Xiaoxi. He took a deep look at Hao Xiaoxi and said loudly: "Stop the nuclear bomb detonation plan immediately and tell the space station that there is no need to detonate the nuclear bomb for the time being!"
"yes!"
...
Zhang Peng is sitting on the lunar soil, with a nuclear bomb at his back.
When he was about to die, he suddenly felt a little emotional. He thought to himself, sitting on the moon with a nuclear bomb - no one could do this before, and there will be no moon for people to do this in the future.
unprecedented.
Being able to accomplish such a thing in this life is considered a life well spent!
"Countdown to detonation, two minutes."
A cold artificial sound came from the headphones, bringing his thoughts back to reality.
No one is talking on the communication channel.
There was a dead silence, and everyone was reviewing their lives like a revolving door.
"Countdown to detonation, one minute."
"brother."
Maozi pilot Nov suddenly spoke up.
"I didn't embarrass Teacher Wang, did I?"
Nov and Zhang Peng are classmates.
They studied together, worked together, and now they will die together on the moon.
Zhang Peng murmured: "Why does one minute take so long?"
Isn't this torture?
"You won't say a few words?"
Nov asked.
It's the last minute. If you don't say a few words, there will be no chance in the future.
"Don't you usually talk a lot?"
Nov joked.
Zhang Peng smiled, his mood gradually relaxed, and he decided to face the last minute calmly.
He murmured: "Yes, I should say something."
"Say something?"
He had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.
Nov sighed: "What a pity, no..."
"emegency notice!"
A high-pitched voice suddenly sounded from the communication channel, interrupting Nov's melancholy words.
"Mission suspended! Don't detonate a nuclear bomb!"
Zhang Peng was stunned.
Task paused?
Is this an order from the space station?
Don't let anyone who can't bear the pressure of death talk nonsense on the communication channel and delay the opportunity to save the earth...
"I am the commander!"
"Repeat it again!"
"Don't detonate a nuclear bomb!"
"I just received news from the ground that the situation has changed. The mission has been suspended. The countdown has stopped. All astronauts are on standby!"
The brisk "Canon" played on the communication channel.
When he heard the sound of the piano, Zhang Peng finally confirmed that it was a command from the space station, because only the space station has the authority to play audio files in the communication channel.
He stared blankly at the remote control in his hand.
"Remember! Don't detonate a hydrogen bomb either!"
The commander said humorously.
"besides......"
Zhang Peng was no longer listening to the commander's speech. He entered a state of brain fog. The joy of surviving the disaster flooded into his brain and made his whole body feel numb.
At the last minute, he said there was no need to detonate a nuclear bomb...
So fucking scary!
Zhang Peng showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Old Nov, did you hear that?"
"We can go back!"
he said excitedly.
Nov replied even more excitedly: "Of course I heard it! I'm not deaf!"
"Turn off the safety of the nuclear bomb and put away the remote control." The commander said slowly, "If nothing else happens, the space station will deliver some supplies to you in half an hour."
"There is a base nearby."
"You have to stay there for a while and then return to the space station in batches."
The space station's vehicles have been almost used up, and there is no way to transport all 300 astronauts back to the space station at once.
"Great!" Zhang Peng said excitedly, "We don't have to die. By the way, what did you just say?"
Zhang Peng's hands kept shaking.
He carefully placed the remote control on the open space next to him, far away from him, for fear of accidentally touching the trigger and dying in a daze.
Haha, it’s great to be alive!
Novov smiled and scolded: "I said! Go back and take your kid to Lake Baikal to fish for salmon!"
"Isn't Lake Baikal frozen?" Zhang Peng complained with a smile, "You are so insincere, you might as well invite me to skewer!"
...
In the next few days, the distance between the earth and the moon continued to expand, and astronauts on the moon returned to the space station one after another.
The lunar crisis is over.
Humanity paid a huge price in this catastrophe, including the two most outstanding scientists of the 550 project, Ma Zhao and Tu Hengyu, who both died underwater.
Until the last moment of their lives, they were still working hard to launch the Beijing root server.
They completed the task successfully.
The Beijing root server was successfully launched before the end of the countdown. Although it was not put to use due to the appearance of the "ghost", Tu Hengyu and Ma Zhaoshe's spirit of risking life and death still moved many people.
The coalition government recovered their bodies and held funerals for them and others who died in the crisis.
The sun rises as usual and everything seems to be back on track.
But before humans had time to take a breath, new problems appeared in front of them.
"Report!"
"We found that the positions of many stars have changed. They seem to..."
