Chapter 336 The Vast Relics Buried on the Far Side of the Moon

Xu Zhao stared at the curve that had returned to its straight state, and the cold sweat on his back gradually cooled down.

"It's not an earthquake."

Her voice was very soft.

Chen Ge looked at her.

Xu Zhao raised his hand and cut out the waveform from those two seconds, overlaying it with all the past geological vibration records of the Guanghan base.

Ordinary moonquakes propagate and attenuate, leaving behind a jumble of reflected waves between different rock layers.

But just now, there were no extra traces.

It seemed to emanate from the interior of some massive structure, travel along a fixed metal frame, and then be drawn back along the same path.

Clean.

stable.

Like a sleeping machine, it unconsciously turned its gears.

Jiang Xiu said in a low voice, "It doesn't seem like it's awake."

Everyone looked at him.

Jiang Xiu stared at the Soul-Suppressing Talisman on the black wooden box, its light flickering, his face grim.

"It's more like turning over."

Chen Ge did not ask any further questions.

He pressed the communication button directly.

"Kyoto, Guanghan requests access with the highest privileges."

A few seconds later, Wang Mingyuan's figure appeared on the holographic screen.

Behind him is the joint control room.

Lin Feng, the president of the court, and several military representatives were all present.

Without wasting any words, Chen Ge directly transmitted the oscillation data from earlier.

Lin Feng's expression changed after only a dozen seconds of watching.

"We overlaid all the low-frequency exploration data, lunar seismic echoes, records of drill bit obstruction in the mining area, and anomalies from patrols on the back side of Lunar Orbiter Station 1 over the past four months."

"It will generate a lot of errors," Xu Zhao said.

Lin Feng looked up at her.

"Now, error is more valuable than blanks."

Xu Zhao gritted his teeth and immediately did as instructed.

The main control array at the Guanghan base began operating at full capacity.

Lunar Orbit Station 1 was also temporarily connected to the computing link.

The fragmented data that was originally scattered across different departments and projects was forcibly dragged into the same model.

Abnormal resistance transmitted during drilling in the mining area.

The relay stake left by the deep exploration team before they lost contact was displaced.

The coordinates of the black powder scraped off by Chen Ge's lateral drilling.

And there was that oscillation line that had no aftershocks just now.

Countless chaotic data flickered in the holographic moon model, like a swarm of fireflies flying around.

At first, you couldn't see anything.

Only red dots.

Miscellaneous points.

A broken line.

Xu Zhao's fingers moved rapidly across the control panel, sweat beading on his forehead.

"Eliminate natural moonquakes."

"Eliminate mechanical interference in the mining area."

"Eliminate noise from the Taiyin drainage pipeline."

"Retain the non-attenuated bands."

One interference after another was deleted.

Finally, deep within the Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, a very faint arc appeared.

Xu Zhao stopped what he was doing.

That curve was too perfect.

It's so orderly that it makes people instinctively resist it.

It is a segment of a circle.

Lin Feng's voice came from Kyoto, so low that it was almost inaudible.

"Continue to complete."

Xu Zhao did not move immediately.

She glanced at Chen Ge.

Chen Ge nodded.

"repair."

More data was pushed in.

The incomplete arc began to lengthen.

a circle.

Two laps.

Three laps.

Moments later, a massive structure slowly took shape beneath the strata on the far side of the moon.

It looks like a black ring that has been forcibly nailed into the interior of the moon.

The outer ring spans hundreds of kilometers, while the inner structure contracts in concentric rings, resembling the gears of some massive machine, or a closed eye.

At the very center of the ring, all low-frequency echoes disappeared.

There was only a desolate emptiness.

Chen Ge stared at the empty space, his voice deep.

"What's in the middle?"

Lin Feng did not answer.

The president of the court slowly stood up, his face showing obvious fear for the first time.

"Door."

Everyone looked at him.

The dean stared intently at the nested black structures.

"Not some small thing like us who use spiritual veins and spatial anchors to tear open a short circuit."

His voice grew softer and softer.

"This is a door in the truest sense."

Wang Mingyuan asked, "Where does it lead?"

The dean did not answer.

Lin Feng raised his hand and tossed the spatial distortion model from the Los Angeles void disaster aside.

It was chaotic, torn apart, and out of control.

Like a piece of paper torn open by a wild beast.

However, the structure on the far side of the moon is as regular as a product on an industrial assembly line.

Lin Feng's voice was cold and hard.

"The area below the far side of the moon looks like a regular passageway."

The words "official channels" felt like a block of ice, pressing down on everyone's hearts.

Chen Ge looked at the huge circular model and suddenly understood something.

"So it didn't crash here."

Wang Mingyuan slowly raised his eyes.

Chen Ge said, word by word, "It was buried here."

Xu Zhao's face turned pale.

Who buried it?

No one answered.

Jiang Xiu suddenly spoke in a low voice:

"It's also possible that it wasn't buried by someone."

He looked at the black ring.

"Perhaps the moon itself was gradually grown out of the moon later on."

This guess is absurd.

It was so absurd that no one immediately refuted it.

Because what was presented to them was beyond the realm of common sense.

Aitken Basin.

The shadowed area on the far side of the moon.

Taiyin cold pressure.

Black wreckage.

The missing team.

Dark red fibers.

At this moment, all the clues were connected by the huge ring buried underground.

Wang Mingyuan remained silent for a long time.

Then he spoke.

"From now on, all relevant information will be classified as top secret at the civilization level."

"Deep structures on the far side of the moon, codenamed—Black Gate."

"The Guanghan base must remain silent and must not be evacuated."

The logistics minister suddenly looked up: "Not evacuating?"

"We cannot retreat."

Wang Mingyuan looked at the huge circular model.

"Removing it would be tantamount to leaving this door intact to the unknown."

"But the base doesn't have enough troops right now," Chen Ge said.

"So I'm not telling you to attack."

Wang Mingyuan's voice was eerily calm.

"What you need to do is guard your eyes."

Wang Mingyuan continued with the order:

"The teleportation array will be preserved."

"The mining area will be preserved."

"Taiyi Furnace will maintain a minimum production capacity."

"But all exposed links in outer space are suspended. Gravity links will no longer be used for heavy-load transport missions to prevent them from being captured in reverse."

"From today onwards, all material exchanges between Earth and the Moon will only use controlled teleportation arrays."

"Each opening requires authorization from both Kyoto and Guanghan."

Xu Zhao said in a low voice, "The phase fluctuations when the teleportation array opens cannot be hidden."

"So we keep the opening time as short as possible each time," Wang Mingyuan said. "Like opening a safe. Open it briefly, take something out, and close it immediately."

Lin Feng added, "I will redesign the outer shielding shell of the teleportation array. I will use the Taiyin Cold Pressure to suppress the phase trail, and then use the Extreme Yang Remnant Flame to create a reverse perturbation, so that it cannot form a stable coordinate on the far side of the moon."

Chen Ge nodded.

He turned to look at the deployment map of the Guanghan base.

"What about the far side of the moon?"

Wang Mingyuan looked at him.

"blockade."

Chen Ge was not surprised.

"At what level of lockdown?"

Wang Mingyuan stated, "Except for reconnaissance, rescue, and pollution control, no unit is allowed to approach the restricted area on the far side of the moon."

He paused.

What are the chances that the Deep Exploration Team is still alive?

Xu Zhao lowered his head and did not speak immediately.

Jiang Xiu slowly spoke:

"No soul fragments were found."

Chen Ge suddenly looked at him.

Jiang Xiu looked terrible, but his tone was steady.

"I can't feel that they're dead."

"I can't even tell they're alive."

"They seem to be stuck somewhere."

These words caused Chen Ge's fingers, gripping the sword, to slowly tighten.

Wang Mingyuan did not immediately express his opinion.

The rescue operation must continue.

But we can't send ordinary construction teams to their deaths.

Furthermore, we must not venture into the far side of the moon on a large scale, lest we stimulate the Black Gate.

Chen Ge took the initiative to speak:

"I'll lead the team."

"No," Wang Mingyuan said outright. "You cannot leave your command post now."

Chen Ge remained silent.

Wang Mingyuan looked to the other side.

"Contact the Underworld; we need their help."

"The rescue team should be limited to seven people or less. They should carry a void contamination isolation coffin, a lunar anchor, and a disposable low-frequency beacon."

He paused.

There is only one goal.

"Confirm whether the deep exploration team is still alive."

……

Kunlun, the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds.

Gu Qing gazed quietly at the moon.

In his view, the black gate on the far side of the moon was not a cold, metallic relic.

It's more like a black wedge driven into the surface of reality.

Behind the wedge, there was a dark red expanse with indistinct boundaries.

System prompts kept appearing.

A stable cross-dimensional structure has been detected.

[Dormant void biomass detected.]

Low-frequency coordinate residue detected.

[It is recommended to immediately erase any traces of causality in the relevant areas.]

Gu Qing ignored him.

His gaze lingered on the almost extinguished, faint light of the Guanghan Base.

This added a faint trace of emotion to his eyes.

It's not praise.

It's more like a confirmation.

Gu Qing raised his hand and gently brushed it across the void.

He cast a very subtle glance into the depths of the black door.

In the depths of the dark red, something seemed to tremble slightly.

It's like sensing another, colder presence watching you through countless layers of dreams.

Gu Qing lowered her eyes.

"Don't rush."

His voice was very soft.

"The door isn't open yet."

……

The far side of the moon is 9,800 meters below the surface.

The low-frequency probe, which had lost its signal, was quietly stuck at the edge of the black metal seam.

I don't know how much time passed.

Deep within the seam, the layer of dark red, dried tissue contracted very slightly.

This time, it happened in more than one place.

A thin, dark red line slowly lit up along the gap in the black metal.

It's like someone opening one eye in the dark.
