Chapter 720 "The Three-Body Problem 2"

Rumble!
The debris from the space elevator, falling from the sky and engulfed in flames, crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

The Second People's Hospital at the "Sky Ladder" base was already overcrowded, with countless wounded soldiers groaning in pain.

The spokesperson for the coalition government also announced the news almost immediately.

Of course, Shi Qiang and his colleagues on the Navigator space station received the news even faster.

"We need to hurry up and bring Liu Peiqiang and the others in."

As Shi Qiang said this, because the space elevator cable broke, although Liu Peiqiang and his companions' cabin did not fall, it was still in near-Earth orbit, which was also very dangerous.

Fortunately, this situation was taken into account when the space elevator was built, and an emergency plan was formulated.

After the specially designed spacecraft was dispatched, the space elevator car carrying Liu Peiqiang and others was pulled to the side of the space station, and the people and cargo inside were successfully transferred.

Liu Peiqiang also told Shi Qiang everything that had happened.

"It seems that Earth is unable to provide us with any assistance for the time being."

In the miniature dreamscape built aboard the Navigator space station, Shi Qiang said this.

"Fortunately, the supplies have been delivered and everyone is safe. ETO and the Trisolaran civilization will definitely not sit idly by. It seems we need to act quickly."

The spacecraft, specifically designed for lunar landing, detached from the Navigator and, carrying supplies and Shi Qiang, Huang Ji, Cheng Xin, Liu Peiqiang, and others, headed toward the United Government's base on the moon.

Meanwhile, in the Pacific Ocean, unnoticed by everyone and fraught with danger, a gigantic sea monster rises from the sea, its body even leaving the water's surface as it gradually expands.

Yes, this sea monster, larger than all the airships in the world combined, floated into the air like a balloon.

At the same time, the sea monster's skin changes color like a chameleon to help it hide its whereabouts from others.

With such a grand display, just one glance is enough to tell that it must be the work of Dr. Chen Ang.

While Shi Qiang and his team were racing to the moon with Dr. Chen and his team, on Earth, Luo Ji, who had just announced the "National Wallfacer Project," was being hunted down.

Because Shi Qiang and others focused on the moon landing, coupled with the "National Wall-Facing Plan," the United Government seemed to have lowered its level of concern for protecting Luo Ji.

This led to him being attacked by assassins from the remnants of the ETO and the underground assassin organization "High Table" on his way back to China after leaving the United Government building.

Fortunately, even though Shi Qiang went to the moon, he still remembered Luo Ji and found him outside help.

During the pursuit, top European agents, along with the super assassin Mechanic and John Wick, came to his aid, repelling the pursuers and escorting Luo Ji back to China.

Meanwhile, in space, after a long journey, Shi Qiang and his team finally landed successfully on the moon.

Meanwhile, on the moon, the Earth United Government had already established a permanent base. After communicating with the person in charge of the lunar base, Shi Qiang and his team immediately began to take action.

Through their trip to Kunlun Ruins, they learned that Hengwo might have left something on the moon to help humanity get rid of aliens, but they really didn't know where on the moon that Hengwo left it.

Therefore, Shi Qiang and his team could only use lunar landing vehicles to conduct a search using a grid-like method.

Fortunately, they seemed to have good luck and soon discovered a suspicious place. In the subsequent excavation, they successfully found an ancient alien base on the moon.

However, at this time, Dr. Chen Ang, the remnants of the ETO, and the Illuminati all successfully arrived at the moon via the biological spaceship that the sea monster had transformed into.

The two sides clashed fiercely at the entrance of the alien base, staging a spectacular battle.

Eventually, people from both sides successfully entered the base, but the base's entrance was destroyed and turned into ruins.

Inside the alien base, Shi Qiang and Chen Ang temporarily put aside their dispute due to the complex and unfamiliar environment, each choosing to explore different areas.

A group of people traveled through the underground base, encountering many alien artifacts along the way. However, most of them were damaged or abandoned. While not entirely worthless, their value was not as great as one might imagine.

During this process, people from the ETO and the Illuminati would occasionally try to cause trouble, but Shi Qiang's team had two powerful fighters, Liu Peiqiang and the witch Zhao Xiumei, so they were not afraid at all.

Soon, in this underground base, Shi Qiang and his team were the first to discover some useful items.

It was a stone slab, buried in the dust of the ruins, seemingly a fragment of a collapsed wall.

Dig it out, wipe away the loose soil on the stone slab fragments, and you can see that it is actually carved with oracle bone script from ancient China.

Shi Qiang's group certainly included professionals, so Huang Ji took a few steps forward and patiently read through the contents of the stone slab.

"What does it say?"

After Huang Ji finished reading, Cheng Xin couldn't wait to ask.

However, Huang Ji said with a solemn expression:

"This is not information left by Hengwo, but a signpost for this base. Judging from the content on the sign, this base... should be a super weapon that was transferred from the home planet after the great war between the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan because they were unwilling to accept defeat. It was intended to overturn the table with the Phoenix Clan."

"Super weapon?"

"Hmm, similar to nuclear bombs on Earth."

Huang Ji said:

"In fact, according to ancient records on Earth, the dragon race should be an extremely proud alien race with anti-enslavement and non-surrender genes, and is a well-known tough nut to crack in the interstellar universe."

Therefore, after losing the competition with the Phoenix Clan, it is only natural that they would rather die than relinquish humanity, the very heritage they nurtured, and the Earth to the Phoenix Clan.

"This should be a weapon!"

Also in this base, in another huge room, standing on a protruding platform, Dr. Chen Ang looked at the huge hole at his feet and said calmly.

The representative of the remaining forces of the ETO organization standing to the side looked puzzled.

"What weapon?"
Is this what the United Government was looking for on the moon—something that could target the Lord?

Chen Ang then looked at the Illuminati representative for this operation. After a moment's hesitation, the representative, under Chen Ang's gaze, forced himself to speak:

"We don't know either. After all, the Lord we believe in was probably an enemy of the founder of this base. However, the records left by the Lord also say that the Celestial Dragons, unwilling to accept defeat, secretly prepared a weapon that could destroy the solar system."

The camera pans to the other side.

"Looks like we need to find this thing quickly."

After hearing Huang Ji's words, Shi Qiang's expression also became serious.

Where is that thing?

However, Huang Ji's expression was somewhat strange. He stomped his foot on the ground and then pointed to the ground.

Liu Peiqiang asked doubtfully, "Under this base?" Huang Ji shook his head, but Shi Qiang read something from his expression and actions and almost couldn't help but gasp.

"Is it the moon?"

"This should be the Dragon Clan's gravitational wave weapon."

In different split-screen shots, Shi Qiang and Chen Ang speak simultaneously.

The audience was also very surprised. They did not expect that the aliens were really generous and used an entire moon as a weapon.

This seems somewhat like the Death Star, a superweapon from Star Wars.

Even though they knew the entire moon was a giant weapon, they were still helpless against it.

"This weapon cannot be left behind!"

The representative of the ETO remnants said this, but the Illuminati representative next to him looked at him as if he were a fool.

"This is the entire moon. What do you plan to do with it? Drive it away? Or blow it up with explosives?"

The ETO representative blushed, and at that moment, Tomoko, who had been hiding, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

After the scan, Tomoko told them one bad news and one good news.

The bad news is that this super gravitational wave weapon, which is the moon, has not been damaged due to its long period of abandonment; it is intact and can be activated.

The good news is that there is no suitable energy source to launch the moon as a weapon.

"Where can we find the energy for this thing?"

Shi Qiang asked Huang Ji.

"Perhaps the five-colored stones we found in Kunlun Ruins could be the answer. They were a new type of energy developed by the Dragon Clan to counter the antimatter energy blockade imposed on them by other interstellar races."

Huang Ji said this.

"Can those small stones really power such a large lunar weapon?" some have questioned.

Huang Ji was extremely patient.

"If I'm not mistaken, in ancient times, when the moon was used as a weapon, it must have been closer to Earth than it is now."

The situation should be like this…

As Huang Ji narrates, the scroll of history slowly unfolds, and the story of ancient times begins to appear on the big screen.

According to Huang Ji, in ancient times, after the first great war between the dragon and the phoenix, the dragon clan was defeated and, in their anger, deployed the gravitational wave weapon "the moon".

At this time, the moon was extremely close to the earth, and the two were connected by a space elevator called "Buzhou Fuzi". It looked like a dumbbell, with two spheres of different sizes connected by a pillar.

This bizarre situation meant to the people on Earth at the time that a giant celestial body had suddenly appeared above their heads.

The moon almost covered the sky. In Asia at that time, people could see the so-called "celestial realm" by looking up. There were also a lot of buildings on this "celestial realm", and even alien spaceships were parked there.

It is precisely because the moon is so close to the earth that, due to the effect of gravity, major earthquakes and tsunamis have occurred on earth.

“In ancient times, the four poles collapsed, the nine provinces were torn apart, the sky could not cover the earth, and the earth could not support the sky. Fire raged and never went out, and water flowed and never ceased... Then Nuwa mended the sky.”

The story of Nuwa mending the sky is the best illustration of how the dragon race controlled the moon, a gravitational wave weapon, in ancient times.

"So, because the moon was too close to Earth at that time, it caused a disaster. Therefore, Nuwa of the Dragon Clan used the Five-Colored Stones as an energy source to activate the moon and move it to a place farther away from Earth?"

Shi Qiang and the others never expected that the ancient Chinese myth of Nuwa mending the sky would be like this.

“Of course it can’t be that simple,” Huang Ji looked at Shi Qiang. “The special affairs department should have retrieved all the five-colored stones we found in Kunlun Ruins and be studying them, right? What results have they achieved?”

"We haven't figured out the principle behind it yet, but it is indeed a high-energy substance that can absorb conventional energy sources such as light, heat, and electricity from the outside world and convert that energy into matter."

Under stimulation, these five-colored stones can also release energy while shrinking in size.

Huang Ji nodded.

“Then that’s it. In this situation, to activate the moon and use it as a weapon against the Trisolaran fleet, we’ll probably have to throw the five-colored stones into the sun to charge them for decades or even centuries, and that might not even be enough.”

"Even so, the moon is still extremely valuable, even if it cannot be activated."

Shi Qiang was not disappointed by Huang Ji's words in the slightest.

They were still traversing the lunar base when Huang Ji discovered several bronze plates with oracle bone script.

"What about what Hengwo left behind? Could it be this moon?"

"It shouldn't be. Although this thing can help us deal with the Trisolarans and even the Phoenix Clan, even if Hengwo really gave it to the Earthlings back then, the Earthlings wouldn't be able to control such a large high-tech weapon."

"That?"

"Keep searching. What Hengwo gave to Emperor Zhuanxu back then could not possibly be a weapon like the moon."

It is impossible to break free from the Phoenix Clan's enslavement by force alone, because even the Dragon Clan themselves could not defeat the Phoenix Clan, so what use are their weapons?
Moreover, just by looking at how the Phoenix Clan didn't dismantle the moon after the Dragon Clan left, it's clear that this kind of massive, cumbersome, and energy-intensive weapon was simply not a threat to them.

Like Huang Ji and his group, Chen Ang and the others did not continue to dwell on the idea of ​​using the moon as a super-large planet for weapons.

The two groups consciously avoided each other within the base, and after searching their respective areas, they quietly switched locations.

While both sides were searching the alien base on the moon, on Earth, after a perilous chase, Luo Ji finally returned safely to China.

Upon returning to China, Luo Ji's first stop was the radar peak at the Red Coast Base.

According to Shi Qiang, Ye Wenjie was buried here after her suicide.

Standing in front of Ye Wenjie's tombstone, Luo Ji recalled the conversation he had with Yang Dong at his grave, and the words Ye Wenjie had told him.

The content about "cosmic sociology," the abandoned satellite base on Radar Peak, and Ye Wenjie's story at the Red Coast Base all gave Luo Ji some inspiration, making him suddenly think of something and hurriedly leave.

"I need to exercise my 'Wallfacer' rights; there's a plan that requires government cooperation!"

Luo Ji, hurrying along, gave these instructions to the staff beside him.

On the other side of the moon, Huang Ji and his team also made new discoveries. (End of Chapter)
