Chapter 903: Chapter 53: The Legend Behind the Moon (Part 2)

Moreover, who knows when it might come in handy in the future, even as a weapon, it would be quite impressive, wouldn’t it?

Just like that, the Moon crisis was resolved, but the hidden dangers left by the Desert Worm Clan were not completely eliminated. Perhaps in the short term, we won’t encounter them again.

However, the crisis on the Star Alliance’s side was resolved, yet a new turmoil erupted on Water Blue Star.

Initially, only the official astronomical institutions of various countries detected the tremors coming from the Moon through their equipment.

They speculated that this could be a reaction caused by a meteor impact.

But upon checking recent records, they found no news of any meteor approaching, which largely ruled out this occurrence.

So, people shifted their focus to lunar tremors.

Lunar tremors are similar to earthquakes on Water Blue Star.

However, since the Moon’s internal energy has long been depleted, lacking the magma to drive crustal movement, its principle is entirely different from that of Water Blue Star.

Most people believe that the cause of lunar tremors is the long-term influence of celestial gravity and meteor impacts, leaving residual mild stress activities that frequently generate weak lunar tremors.

However, due to the lack of relevant lunar exploration equipment, this situation ultimately remains a hypothesis and cannot be universally accepted.

To this day, the specific cause of lunar tremors remains a mystery, becoming a hot topic among many astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts.

Today, the sudden lunar tremor on the Moon brought everyone into fervent discussion once again.

Researchers excitedly observed the situation there, hoping to find more clues to unravel this mystery.

Lunar tremors are nothing confidential, and the news quickly spread out from the observatory, becoming known to large astronomy enthusiasts.

However, just as everyone was enthusiastically discussing, a new piece of news suddenly disrupted the atmosphere.

Like thunder thrown into the water, it created a huge uproar.

It was a set of photographs seemingly taken from the southern region of the Eastern Hemisphere, which was at the smallest angle for lunar observation at this time.

In these images, a small patch of golden glow was vaguely emanating from the back direction of the Moon.

Since the images were captured by an astronomical telescope, the resolution of the halo wouldn’t be as clear as on Water Blue Star.

Without careful observation, it would even be hard to notice.

Yet, everyone still noticed the anomaly there, despite this angle being the largest wide-angle lens humans could shoot from the Moon’s far side.

This discovery immediately sparked the interest of astronomy enthusiasts globally.

Everyone logged onto forums, discussing the situation it represented.

Some said it was merely the afterglow left by sunlight reflection, not worth making a fuss over.

Others said it was an issue with telescope quality, causing unclear light source capture, leading to a phenomenon of glare, making the photo seem like light appeared on the Moon’s far side.

However, quite a few people still raised questions about it.

Among them were some who combined this golden glow with the frequent lunar tremors, planning to prove the cause of lunar tremors through a novel approach.

However, more people still linked it to those peculiar legends of the Moon’s far side.

Although the question of what lies behind the Moon’s far side was answered 62 years ago by the Soviet Union’s Luna 3 spacecraft capturing relevant images.

And 53 years ago by Apollo 8 orbiting the Moon, directly observing the appearance over there.

It’s just a crater-filled area, lacking the long-awaited legends.

However, this does not deter people’s footsteps of imagination; various unreasonable conspiracy theories are being proposed.

Some believe the subsequent cancellation of lunar orbit missions was because the officials discovered a major secret on the Moon’s far side, thus forced to cancel the plan.

Others believe that there’s actually a hidden area on the far side invisible to humans, potentially being the legendary alien base, always watching us from there.

Now, various theories are once again proposed, all related to the Moon’s far side legend, sparking intense discussion among astronomy enthusiasts.

However, compared to ordinary astronomy enthusiasts, even observatories, countries with more advanced equipment have seen much more.

Xing Han’s battle with the Insect Race on the Moon’s far side was rather significant in movement.

Especially the last strike that eliminated the Insect Queen, it affected hundreds of kilometers, directly exposing the Golden Light to everyone.

Under the observatory’s equipment observation, many clues were recorded.

After rounds of analysis and hypotheses, scientists became increasingly alarmed by what they observed.

“It’s too similar! Way too similar!”

In America’s NASA astronomical research station, a chubby middle-aged man was continuously comparing two photos he held.

In his hands, one was an image of an insect’s body structure, the other was a magnified and enhanced lunar exploration photo.

This photo was not captured by those astronomy enthusiasts using low-quality telescopes but by their Space Station in outer space.

Compared to the previous Golden Light photo, the chubby middle-aged man’s photo had a broader angle, allowing him to see more things.

He could confidently say this Golden Light was not a reflection of sunlight but actual light from the Moon’s far side.

“This thing, could it really be an insect… No, this is too crazy, this can’t be true…”

The middle-aged man compared the lunar exploration photo he held.

On this photo, there was a very blurry black silhouette moving.

From its appearance, it looked exactly like the insect phylum on Water Blue Star.

“Toby, what’s wrong with you, making a fuss.”

A colleague walked over.

But when he saw the photo in the middle-aged man’s hand, he was so frightened he shivered, spilling the coffee he had just brewed.

“Shit! Gail! What are you doing!”

The chubby middle-aged man named Toby yelled in distress, quickly patting his clothes.

“Toby, what are you holding, are you sure this photo is real?”

Gail no longer had any thoughts of apologizing, his eyes focused solely on Toby’s photo.

Toby didn’t bother arguing with him, immediately sharing his discovery in detail.

“Oh my God! Shit! That must be an insect! I swear! It’s definitely an insect!”

Gail grabbed his hair and said:

“Toby, we’ve definitely discovered something incredible this time! We’re going to be famous! No, no, this needs to be immediately reported to Leader John! Hurry, hurry! I’ll contact them!”

Toby couldn’t help but chase after him, shouting while running:

“Hey, I was the one who discovered it! You used the wrong word, it’s not ‘we,’ it’s ‘you!’ That means me! I’m going to be famous! It has nothing to do with you!”

The two started racing within the observatory, running one after the other to Leader John’s office to report the incident there.

John was the group leader of the astronomical team here, with many more permissions than his two subordinates.

Upon seeing the scene in the photo, he immediately issued an order, sending the Voyager spacecraft on lunar exploration to check the far side.

“Leader, we’re in luck, Voyager 7 is nearby, we can pull its surveillance footage to check what’s going on!”

A researcher excitedly shouted.

“Great! Get moving immediately, have Voyager 7 change its planned route, move to the Moon’s far side for exploration, we need to see what’s happening there!”

John decisively ordered.
