The two leaders of the Empire were bent over a table at a stall selling spicy hot pot by the roadside. There was a pile of plates in front of Sandora that was half a meter tall. She even threatened to eat the remaining spicy hot pot if they didn't serve it quickly. We all believed that she would do what she said, and Kuchulin believed her even more. Thus, the pitiful soldier could only wipe away his tears and open his meridians. As for the Einherjar, Sasaki and the rest of the people, they had already pushed their stalls and fled the moment the Queen started eating. It was as if they were being chased by hundreds of Town Security officers.
For Kuchulin, entering the food business under the Queen's nose was probably his biggest mistake. If he could still return alive today, I think he would be left with a lifelong disability that would cramp his stomach at the sight of cooked food. He would then live the rest of his life eating raw fish.
"Another thirty plates. I want everything!" Sandora didn't care. She was the Queen and it was enough for her to fill her stomach. Thus, she gobbled up the food at an astonishing speed and elegance that didn't match her speed at all. At the same time, she urged the waiter to serve more dishes.
Kuchulin's tears rolled down his cheeks. He immediately expressed that the Queen would eat him if things didn't work out. There were only two existences in this world that could provide food to Sandora in real time. One was the omnipotent Anveena, and the other was the omnipotent Mother Nature. However, Kuchulin was just an Einherjar. Spicy hot pot was a hobby that he had while teaching Osaka and the others martial arts. How could he possibly provide for her?
In the end, seeing that he was really unlucky, I could only point him in the right direction. I leaned over and whispered, "Just serve it. As long as there are enough ingredients, Sandora doesn't care about the taste."
It wasn't just that she didn't care. Sandora had already asked to eat a periodic table of elements. How could she know whether it was salty or not? There were circles of teeth marks on the cupboards in the house. Could you say that it was due to the freshness and reliability of the stainless steel?
Kuchulin wasn't stupid. He immediately understood what I meant and began to serve raw meat and vegetables to Sandora. As expected, the Queen was still in high spirits. She didn't even notice the change in the taste of the food.
Every time I encountered such a situation, I would feel guilty towards Sandora. I always felt that I was bullying her. Everyone in my family had a bad habit. They would always stuff leftovers or things they didn't like to eat to Sandora. Sometimes, it would even include watermelon peels and eggshells. When Anveena was cooking, Sandora would always hide in the kitchen and use eggshells, onion peels, potato sprouts, and even disposable plastic bags as appetizers. Ever since this girl moved into the house, the kitchen didn't even have a trash can. In fact, the last trash can in the kitchen was eaten by Sandora in the middle of the night. She usually disposed of nearly half of our household's garbage, and it directly caused the six stray cats that used to live near our house to go through the trash cans to run to another street and fight with the local stray cats for a few days.
In addition, when Mercury Lamp first came to our house, she thought that Sandora was a punching bag and that we, the group of bullies, were making her eat trash …
Alright, it was inevitable that there would be such a misunderstanding when meeting for the first time. However, ever since Mercury Lamp found out that her comb was eaten by Sandora, she didn't think so anymore. She realized that Sandora was the one with the highest living standards in this strange family. After all, even though we fed her trash, we also fed her the large LCD TV that we bought for ten thousand RMB, right? Who would be so extravagant as to eat a 64-inch LCD TV and two iPhone 4's for dessert?
"Eat slowly. No one is going to fight with you."
I coughed twice and reminded Sandora to pay attention to her image. However, this reminder was mostly meaningless because Sandora's image was really good when she ate. Aside from her speed, she behaved like a noble princess in all other aspects. Once again, aside from her speed, Medusa, who was dressed casually, sat across the table.
She had a helpless expression on her face as she stared at me. There were a few times when she wanted to speak, but she was interrupted every time. It wasn't until Sandora slowed down her eating speed that I had the time to look at her that she shrugged. "Boss, do you have time to listen to me now?"
"I was listening just now. Try this." I chuckled as I passed the purple-haired elder sister a large handful of fish balls and vegetables, teaching her how to eat such things. "But there's nothing to worry about. Is it a big deal to me?"
Medusa pouted. Then, she imitated me and Sandora. She used chopsticks to scoop the things on the bamboo skewers into the dish, stirred it back and forth, and put it into her mouth. Only after she put it in her mouth did she reveal a surprised expression. Medusa, who was a little arrogant and petty bourgeois, had never eaten Mala Tang before. She was clearly not the same kind of person as Cuchulin and Red A, who dared to squat by Fairy Lake and fish for mermaids in their big pants.
However, this didn't stop Medusa, who had the temperament of a princess, from being conquered by Mala Tang. After all, Mala Tang had conquered a real queen.
"But will they be in trouble if they really go up there?" Medusa frowned and asked with a dutiful attitude. "They will be landing on the moon in two days."
I grabbed a skewer of oily beef meatballs and looked up at the sky. Behind me was the mother planet's mysterious curved surface. Two seconds later, Gaia seemed to have noticed my gaze. He controlled the mother planet's lights and gave me a smiley face.
I sighed and lowered my head. It seemed that Gaia was starting to learn bad things.
Medusa had been sitting there for ten minutes. She mainly reported to us about the suppression of the unusual species around the world. There was also a piece of disturbing news. First of all, the monsters around the world had been successfully suppressed. In another twenty hours, the density of psionic energy between the Earth and the moon would decrease to a safe level. By then, they would be completely fine. This incident had stirred up a storm in the dark world, and it had even affected ordinary people to a certain extent. There were many supernatural incidents and so-called 'miracles' around the world. However, they were all controlled to the point where public opinion could handle them. The heroic spirits and the central government's ten sets of systems took the credit. However, the disturbing news wasn't good news. America and Russia were planning to land on the moon again, and they had already chosen their pilots.
What was even more surprising was that their spaceship would be launched in two days.
"Everyone has a trump card. To them, they don't even need to use their trump card to send people to the moon in a few days." Sandora ate until her mouth was dripping with grease, but she still said to me with a serious expression, "In peaceful times, it might take a long time to plan and prepare to land on the moon. However, if the situation calls for it, sending people to the moon would just be a long distance space flight. They already took a small step on the moon in 1969. How is it possible that they haven't made any progress in the past thirty years? In recent years, human exploration on the moon has only slowed down, but it doesn't mean that their space technology has stopped developing. "
"That's true." I reached out and wiped the corners of Sandora's mouth. After that, I fed her a tissue. "Who doesn't have a trump card? Didn't Bubble say that they found a manned Mars landing module somewhere in the United States? They should have a spacecraft that can be used directly on the moon." "Wrong, they don't."
Sandora shook her head. "I just checked the information link, and none of the countries involved in the moon landing plan have a manned spacecraft that can be used immediately. Humans have the potential, but their potential is limited. They can only find a spacecraft that was originally going to carry out another space mission and forcefully drop a machine on the moon. As for a manned spacecraft, it is impossible. For humans, it will take a lot of time to prepare. The spacecraft that is about to land on the moon is only an unmanned probe, and this probe only has a 50% chance of landing successfully. After all, human space technology is still constrained by the 'window period.' These two days are not a good time to explore the moon. Medusa, your intelligence is a bit off. The manned moon landing was just rejected by a meeting six minutes ago because letting astronauts participate in this kind of mission that is almost doomed to be a disaster of public opinion. "
I felt a little strange at that moment. On the other side of the earth, the most influential group of people on the planet were sitting in the parliament building, nervously discussing an emergency lunar exploration that could change the history of mankind. On the other side of the earth, a young couple was sitting at a spicy hot pot stall, discussing the same thing in real time. Strictly speaking, the latter's "spicy hot pot meeting" was more important than the former one.
"Why did they suddenly want to go to the moon? What were they doing a few days ago?"
I spread my hands. I was a little confused by the leaders of the countries on earth. After the lunar impact, I thought that humans might eventually be unable to suppress their curiosity and choose to go to the moon to see what was going on. I didn't expect them to choose this time. Everything seemed to have calmed down … "It's the politics of inferior civilizations."
Sandora nodded as she spoke. "Two days of wrangling, two days of intense arguments, and two days after that, no one gave in. In the end, they came up with a conclusion in five minutes. After the lunar impact, all the countries in the world had a proposal to go to the moon to see the situation, but no one dared to act on their own. It wasn't until now that they had no choice but to make a decision. Then, a few countries decided to join forces to explore the moon. After wrangling for so long, they finally came up with a definite plan. In fact, what forced them to make this decision was the observation data of the aliens."
I was stunned. "Observation data?"
"The readings of the psionic energy between the Earth-Moon system." Sandora nodded. "Humans don't understand what kind of energy it is, but they can at least observe it. The psionic radiation in the Earth-Moon system has been decreasing rapidly for the past two days. After twenty hours, it will no longer affect any matter on Earth, and it will completely disappear after six days. Human scientists will definitely not sit still in this situation, and the politicians with keen senses are not fools. No one is willing to watch an opportunity that could change human history slip away in the middle of a meeting, even though no one knows what this opportunity is. In any case, they have taken out a lot of secret treasures. These things are enough for them to send a recyclable probe to the moon without any prior preparations. "
"By the way, hasn't research involving psionic energy (scientists on Earth call it 'zero' energy) been banned by the governments of various countries?"
"Research on psionic energy is banned because the properties of this energy might overturn the current foundation of human physics. But even if we don't research it, we can still go and see where the energy comes from, right?"
After eating and drinking, Shadora became more talkative. It was as if she had been revived, and she looked like a cheerful and optimistic silly girl. I knew that this was because the current situation wasn't a problem in her eyes. Of course, it was the same for me. However, even if it wasn't a problem, I couldn't just ignore it. Thus, I connected to my family mentally and called out to them in the public channel. Instantly, all the idle people in the family came online.
"Ah Jun, Ah Jun, what's so fun about it?" The first to make a fuss was, of course, Shallow Shallow. She knew that I had gone to the Shadow City to look at the navigational log, so she was eager to know if there was another opportunity to stir up trouble in another world.
"It's nothing. A few countries want to land on the moon. They will send out their spaceships in two days …"
Liliana instantly exclaimed, "Oh, oh, oh! Boss, just you wait. It's time for Liliana to make a contribution. When the time comes, I will stab the spaceship down for you … Wah! Big Sister, I was wrong! "
There was a flurry of activity in the mental link. Obviously, the bunch of people in the family who had nothing to do finally had something that interested them. Furthermore, after Liliana decided to stab the spaceship down, the five Protoss Bars immediately joined in and suggested many constructive ideas, such as using Liliana's shield to smash the spaceship down, using a rope to pull it down, using her wings to slap it down, using Ielson's face to knock it down …
In any case, the moment the topic started, it immediately focused on how to stab the spaceship that would only be launched in two months.
I had to yell for them to quiet down, and I immediately ruled out the second plan of Liliana 'fart the spaceship down'. Then, I let Visca answer.
In the current situation, Visca was undoubtedly the person in question. After all, the human probe was going to land on her head, even though the size of the probe was not even comparable to a speck of dust in Visca's other body.
"How do you feel about the earthlings throwing rocks at your head?"
Lina wanted to see the world plunged into chaos. She spoke in a sarcastic tone, as if she couldn't wait to encourage Veska to destroy the world.
Visca thought for a few seconds. I was really worried that she would make the decision to shoot down the earthlings' spaceship from the moon. With this little girl's crazy personality, it was not impossible.
But what was especially unexpected was that after thinking for a while, Visca said leisurely, "Whatever, I have already filled in the three impact craters."
Immediately, everyone expressed their shock through the mental link.
Liliana was the craziest one, and naturally, she was the one with the loudest voice in this situation. She immediately shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me! Humans want to go to the moon, but they throw a small rock on you for no reason, and also a bunch of inexplicable household garbage on you. Can you tolerate that? At this time, you should unify the world with nuclear weapons and illuminate the horizon with helium flashes. That is your true destiny! "
After Liliana said that, she screamed again. It was obvious that her sister was using her great parenting skills again.
Visca didn't care about Liliana's encouragement. No one knew what she was thinking, but I seemed to see her confused face through the mental link. She thought for a long time, then said blankly, "Let's go to the moon then. Anyway, they have a few satellites orbiting me all day long. I'm used to it, and I think it's fun …"
When Visca said that it was fun, she was stunned for a moment, as if she was looking for a word to describe the situation. Then, she said confidently, "It's like playing with ants, watching them crawl around and explore the grass. Oh yeah, brother, I found an ant hole at the door!"
When I heard that, I understood, but I felt a chill in my heart.
Visca tolerated humans sending probes to the moon, tolerated a bunch of satellites flying around in front of 'her', and even tolerated humans leaving all kinds of strange equipment on the surface of the moon. It wasn't because she was magnanimous, but because she didn't treat humans as humans.
When humans sent probes to the moon, Visca treated it like she was playing with ants!
Even though we knew that this little lunatic was a person who treated human life as grass, and we knew that she didn't feel guilty about genocide, this was the first time we experienced it directly.
"It seems that there is still a long way to go to correct Visca's worldview."
Sandora muttered to me in the encrypted channel. "She lacks the moral values that the Shiring Apostles should have. A civilized civilization should be admired no matter how clumsy they are when exploring the universe. That little girl doesn't seem to have any similar thoughts."
Sandora was right, but no one could blame Visca. After all, when the child needed to mold the Shiring Apostles' worldview the most, she was being hunted down by her own people.
Visca expressed that she had no objections to the human exploration of the moon. Even though the reason she had no objections wasn't very honorable, at least I didn't have to worry about the lunar probe that was launched by a group of troublemakers at home. On the contrary, my elder sister and Sandora were both concerned about this special human space mission. The two of them even started to watch the news broadcast …
The moon exploration mission was broadcasted on the news the next morning. It was broadcasted by all the major media outlets in the world at the same time. All the countries in the world that had the ability to launch a rocket into space had finally come together to do something. The leaders of the countries involved in this mission spared no effort in describing it as a turning point for mankind. They were about to unveil the ultimate question of whether mankind was alone in the universe. However, I felt like they were trying to unveil Visca's identity …
Some people with a keen sense of smell naturally noticed a lot of fishy things going on. The easiest thing to figure out was that some countries had been hiding their space power. They were going to launch a lunar probe in two days without any prior preparations (counting from the day of the moon's impact, there were only seven to eight days of preparation time). This was already beyond the current human space technology known to the general public. It was obvious that someone was hiding something. However, no one cared about this anymore. The energy radiation in space was weakening by the minute, and it had already weakened by 60%. It no longer interfered with any artificial satellites. Only sophisticated instruments could be used to confirm that the energy was still slowly spreading with the moon as the center. No one knew what was crashing into the moon, but no one wanted to miss this opportunity to find out. Scientists said that there might be a celestial body on the dark side of the moon that carried a huge amount of energy. But now, this celestial body was transforming into an ordinary rock. You don't want to expose your space power? Sure, when they return from the dark side of the moon with technology that could advance your technology by a thousand years, don't cry.
Even though countries had banned direct research on energy that seriously violated the common sense of physics, exploring the source of the energy emission was simply impossible. It was human's most instinctive impulse, and that was curiosity.
So, as time passed, the "Dark Side of the Moon" space mission, which was the race against time in human history, finally began on time.
