Chapter 653: The End of the Tunnel
"In the end, it's all about money. If you're willing to spend tens of millions to send a package, it will definitely be delivered within 24 hours no matter where it is on Blue Star."
"I have a feeling something is wrong on the moon. Why are we in such a hurry to send things there? The experiment of launching aerospace fighters with rockets has been successful. If it is not necessary, we can just take off from a normal airport. Although it will be a few days later, it can save tens of millions of dollars."
"Previously, we were probably just testing the rocket launch method, but this time we wanted to test the shortest time it takes to send a package from the Blue Planet to the Moon. The scientific research base on the Moon has been well developed, so there shouldn't be any urgent need for supplies..."
Everyone is also actively discussing this incident on the Internet, but of course no one really knows the ultimate purpose of this mission.
After a flight of twenty-three hours and fifty-six minutes, the Shenniao successfully reached the back side of the moon and dropped the lunar module carrying the Diglett to a location on the back side of the moon, near the black hole.
Soon, the lunar module successfully landed at the designated location, and the astronauts stationed on the moon also successfully received the express delivery.
Once the news that the express delivery was successfully received was released, it caused heated discussions among people all over the world.
Everyone is excited about this historic achievement in the aerospace field. With such powerful transportation capabilities, transporting materials between the blue planet and the moon will become a very common thing in the future.
However, the entire Shenzhou Space Agency was not too excited about this success, because there are still many important tasks to be carried out.
"Academician Xu, the Mole has arrived near the black hole and is ready to start the diving mission."
At this time, Xu You was sitting in the control center of the Shenzhou Space Administration, paying close attention to all the developments on the moon in real time.
Judging from the information transmitted from the moon, the Gopher is currently in good condition and has the conditions to carry out its mission.
"Okay, let's arrange the Mole to carry out the diving mission." Xu You said.
The size of the Moles is not large. This time, there are as many as six Moles transported to the moon by aerospace fighters, which has a certain fault tolerance rate.
Even if one or two moles are lost due to some accidents, other moles can be deployed.
Soon, the astronauts on the moon received the signal to carry out the mission. They started the Gopher and placed it near the black hole.
The Gopher is not shaped like a gopher as its name suggests. Instead, it is more like a spider and can rely on its powerful robotic arms to complete various climbing and diving tasks.
After the switch was turned on, the Mole automatically detected the surrounding environment according to the implanted program and began the diving process.
Compared with the lunar drone and the Golden Rabbit series of lunar rovers, the Mole is undoubtedly a more professional exploration machine. It quickly went down the rock wall to the bottom of the black hole and discovered another deeper hole that the drone had discovered before.
According to the previous speculation of Xu You and others, this place is used to discharge those substances that are crushed into powder by the powerful attraction of the black holes.
The passage here is narrower than the previous black hole, but since the Mole's robotic arm can be extended and retracted freely, this does not limit the Mole's continued movement forward.
At this moment, everyone was concentrating on observing the video signal coming from the screen, looking forward to what would happen next.
The scene inside the passage is relatively monotonous, because the "artificial black hole" in the black hole has been removed, and even no residual powder can be seen here.
"Um?"
Just then, Xu You suddenly noticed a change.
Based on the information sent by the Mole, Xu You keenly discovered that the temperature around the Mole was slowly rising.
Although this temperature rise is not too obvious, it has exceeded the normal fluctuation range.
"It's volcanic magma!" Xu You suddenly blurted out.
There are also volcanoes and magma on the moon, and even much of the moon's surface is covered by lunar volcanic lava.
If this channel is connected to volcanic magma, it would explain the destination of the material attracted by the black holes.
Over the years, the number of objects attracted by the black hole should be quite large. Even if these objects are crushed into powder by the strong gravity, a complete channel is needed to discharge them.
Previously, Xu You thought that these powders might be discharged directly into the interior of the moon. After all, if there are cavities inside the moon, these cavities are large enough to accommodate the powders of those substances.
However, considering that the moon might have been a huge space station before, Xu You felt that the powder might not enter the interior of the moon, even if it was just an abandoned space station.
Xu You's thoughts came to his mind in just a few seconds. When everyone heard the words "volcanic magma", they all looked confused.
After seeing everyone's confusion, Xu You explained:
"This passage is most likely connected to a volcanic lava. The temperature around the Mole is constantly rising, but the rate of this temperature rise is not the normal rate of temperature rise when the altitude drops. The slopes of these passages are not very steep, so they are more likely to be connected to volcanic lava."
After hearing Xu You's explanation, everyone finally understood the reason.
"So that's how it is. If the channel is connected to the volcanic lava, we can use the volcanic eruption to transport the powder back to the lunar surface."
Sure enough, just as Xu You expected, as the Rat continued to move forward, the temperature nearby became higher.
According to the Shenzhou Space Administration's exploration of lunar geology, if we continue to move forward, we will find that there is indeed a huge lunar volcano.
At this point in the exploration, the mystery of the black holes on the moon seems to have been solved.
"The upper limit of the temperature that the Gopher can withstand is limited. If it continues to approach the volcanic lava, the Gopher may not be able to withstand the high temperature."
For this reason, the Gopher had to return to where it came from.
However, Xu You knew that the secret of the black hole was not that simple.
If it is just a device like this, then there is no need to deliberately set up an "artificial black hole".
Xu You felt that there should be other passages somewhere.
The other passages are likely the entrances to the inner space station.
Thinking of this, Xu You called the staff responsible for controlling the Mole.
