"Maybe the United States dug up the entire tree!" Jia Changtian shook his head. "Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. The dangers and mysteries of the moon far exceed our expectations. We need to leave immediately and hand the leaf over to the laboratory for further investigation!"
Jia Changtian's words received Wang Jiawei's full approval. The two of them returned to the lunar vehicle as quickly as possible and then returned to the lunar module.
On the way back, their communication with the command center on Earth was restored. Wang Jiawei immediately reported to the command center about the discovery of the leaf on the surface of the moon. The entire command center was dumbfounded.
When they lost contact just now, the command center appeared to be very shocked on the surface. However, they had already experienced a complete loss of contact before. Many of them were quietly chatting on the spot, waiting for the communication to be restored.
As they chatted, they began to talk about why Jia Changtian and the others had lost contact. Naturally, some people joked that Jia Changtian might have met an alien.
Others said that it was not an alien and that they might have met someone from the moon.
"Who knows, maybe Chang 'e is treating them to osmanthus wine!" In the end, the command center said with a smile. Then, the communication was restored. After that, they heard Wang Jiawei's report about the discovery of the leaf on the surface of the moon.
According to Wang Jiawei's analysis, the leaf seemed to be very similar to the leaf of a tree he had seen before. This tree was none other than an osmanthus tree!
The entire command center was shocked. After a long silence, the command center immediately issued an order to end the mission early and all members to return immediately.
At the same time, they quickly reported it. One could imagine how many people would be shocked by this news.
Of course, ordinary people … no, 99.99999999% of the world's population would not know about this shocking news unless the relevant departments felt the need to announce it.
On the way back, Wang Jiawei was worried that the capsule would encounter some danger. Fortunately, everything was very peaceful. The capsule was still standing on the surface of the moon, intact. Jia Changtian and Wang Jiawei did some final finishing work. The capsule was ignited and lifted off under the command of the command center. It met up with Lin Benyou who had been waiting for a long time in lunar orbit. Xihe reignited, adjusted its attitude, and flew towards Earth.
Three days later, the Xihe entered the atmosphere under the watchful eyes of the entire world. Finally, it landed on the vast desert. Jia Changtian, Wang Jiawei, and Lin Benyou were all in perfect health after a thorough examination. However, they still needed to be quarantined for another three months for observation.
As for the leaf that Jia Chang Tian brought back, it was immediately sent to the most advanced laboratory for research.
After all the researchers wanted to cut open every cell to study, they came to the conclusion that this leaf was indeed the leaf of the osmanthus tree, or rather, there was no difference at all. They even cut off all the DNA strands for comparison, but they did not find any problems. This was a normal osmanthus leaf.
However, after further inspection, everyone was surprised to find that this Osmanthus tree was likely more than 3,000 years old. At the same time, according to the residual cosmic rays in the leaf, this leaf had been in the universe for at least 500 years.
The most amazing thing was that after 500 years, the leaf was still in an active state, and the water in its body was still very abundant. If it weren't for the obvious data, this leaf would be no different from a freshly picked osmanthus leaf.
This result was too mysterious, because it all pointed to one conclusion, and that was that the ancient legends of Hua Xia were very likely true. In the earliest legend of Chang 'e flying to the moon, there was a real osmanthus tree on the moon.
But where was this tree now?
Was it on the moon, or had it been dug up by the United States?
Of course, none of this was reliable. After the experts' research, the most reliable conclusion was that there had always been extraterrestrial life forms on the moon. They were secretly spying on and monitoring humans, and this leaf was accidentally left on the surface of the moon by an extraterrestrial life form.
This could explain why the United States no longer dared to land on the moon after 1972. Maybe they had already come into contact with aliens and were warned not to touch the mysterious moon again.
[PS: Don't worry, everyone. The richest instant noodle player will suddenly start fighting aliens or cultivating immortality. This plot is just a foreshadowing for the sequel of instant noodle, "The First Million Resource Number." In the novel after that, other than the parts involving space, there won't be any non-scientific plots.
As for the space content, at most, there will be some strange discoveries, but there won't be any events beyond this range.
This is a special note to avoid people suspecting that the author is going to open a new map and forcefully drag the plot.]
However, these matters would naturally be dealt with by the professionals. Among the Huaxia people, everyone was in a state of jubilation.
The Hua Xia people really landed on the moon and returned very smoothly. Three astronauts went and three came back, and the mission was more than any of the previous six moon landings. Technically speaking, Hua Xia people's first moon landing had surpassed the United States people's six moon landings.
Of course, there was a gap of more than 30 years in between. All kinds of technology had been comprehensively developed, and it was a bit unkind to compare with the United States people 30 years ago.
However, this did not affect the Hua Xia people's explosive self-confidence and national pride. The relevant departments also immediately launched relevant celebration activities. For a full month, they were immersed in a happy and beautiful atmosphere, which made the people of other countries very angry.
Of course, at the government level, all the governments congratulated Hua Xia. You had to go online to see the real emotions.
Clues could be seen on the largest international public forum, 51 Tieba.
First of all, the United States. The most popular post was called "The moon is a thing of the past, our real goal is Mars!"
This post first emphasized that the United States was the first country in the world to land on the moon, and the United States had actually perfectly explored the moon. The moon was no longer a secret to the United States, so there was no need for the United States to restart the moon landing plan.
Now, the United States was actually launching various Mars probes, and even landing on the surface of Mars. This showed that the next target of the great United States had been locked on Mars, and the moon was not something to be mentioned.
The United States would soon become the first country in the world to land on Mars.
Although there were many groundless speculations in this post, there was nothing to say. The United States were indeed ahead of the Hua Xia people, and they did launch a large number of Mars probes. The post was reasonable and there was nothing to refute.
However, the most popular post in the Indian forum was called "In 2030, India will become the first country in the world to land on Mars." This was very funny.
The United States went to the moon before going to Mars. India didn't even have manned aviation, how could they go to Mars in 2030?
Ou Meng and many other countries were also jealous, saying that the Hua Xia people were not democratic and not free enough. Why did they only bring Hua Xia people to the moon? They should have brought some foreign friends, such as Europeans.
Fusang's forum was calm, as if the Hua Xia people did not exist.
Finally, there was the Koreans. The most popular post was: "I checked the Jia family's genealogy. Jia Yapeng and Jia Changtian are our Korean simida!"
