Capítulo 11: Let the Chang'e 3 Satellite Crash into the Moon

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

"Is the pendulum clock really that much fun?!" Zhang Yi Xia asked curiously.

Liu Ning grinned and replied, "Definitely! Whoever plays it knows how exciting it is. It's like flying in the sky with your soul chasing after you."

Zhang Yi Xia's eyes lit up with excitement as she said, "If I ever get the chance to visit Earth in the future, I would love to try it out!" She quickly composed herself, concealing her enthusiasm.

"It's getting late. I should be heading out..." said Zhang Yi Xia.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll tell you about a palace intrigue drama that's sure to be exciting..." Liu Ning promised.

Liu Ning stood at the entrance of the villa, grinning as she watched Zhang Yi Xia disappear into the elevator. With a flick of her wrist, she waved goodbye until Zhang Yi Xia was completely out of sight before heading back inside.

As Liu Ning entered the room, Zhang Tao asked eagerly, "Did she leave already?!"

"Yes, she's gone," Liu Ning replied with a sly smile.

"Tell me, did you manage to get any information out of her?" Zhang Tao inquired eagerly.

"I sure did. Her name is Zhang Yi Xia, and it was given to her by her commander," Liu Ning revealed, feeling proud of herself.

"She also confirmed our suspicions - she has been at this base for as long as she can remember," she continued, relaying the new information she had obtained.

"Pa ~!" "Pa ~!" "Pa ~!"

On the basketball court, Zhao Yu dribbled the ball and performed a crossover against Ba Jie before making a layup that goes into the basket.

"Nice shot! Brother Yu is awesome ~~!" Liu Wu Mei, who was watching Zhao Yu play, praised his skills.

"Ta Ta ~~!"

As Zhao Yu continued his rigorous basketball practice, the sound of approaching footsteps caught his attention. He turned to see who it is and sees Zhang Yi Xia.

He stopped his exercise and reached for the towel that Liu Wu Mei hands him, wiping off his sweat.

"How was it? Did you get anything?" Zhao Yu asked.

Zhang Yi Xia nodded, "Yes, Commander. I've gained Liu Ning's trust and obtained a lot of valuable information."

A satisfied smile spread across Zhao Yu's face. "Well done, Yi Xia. All the information you've gathered will be uploaded to the Pangu Center, where our butler will analyze it."

"Beep!"

Just as Zhao Yu finished speaking, the red light on the wall began to flash, signalling the appearance of the butler.

"Commander, from White Rabbit Nine, we have obtained detailed information about Earth," the butler said.

"The extraterrestrial civilization known as Earth is currently dominated by the human race, which shares biological similarities with you."

"According to historical records about the human race, they are a very aggressive species, and their entire civilization is built on waging wars with each other."

Zhao Yu scratched his head. He wanted to say that he is also from Earth, but there was no need to tell an AI that.

"What is the evaluation from the Pangu Center?" he asked.

"Planet: Earth."

"Ruling race: Humans."

"Civilization level: 0.75."

"Total number of invasions between nations in the last century: 51."

"Number of non-human species on their dining tables: 2,533."

"Civilization assessment: Chaotic neutrality."

"Recommendation: Immediately destroy this civilization."

After listening to the butler's report, Zhao Yu furrowed his brow.

This was one of the nine camps that lagged behind the rest, a camp that any other civilization in the universe would try to destroy if they discovered it.

"Could the evaluation be wrong?" Zhao Yu asked.

As someone from Earth, he couldn't help but feel dismayed by the negative evaluation of his home planet.

He knew that Earth was not performing as well as it could, but he also believed that his planet had much more to offer than what the evaluation suggested.

"The earthlings are good at disguising themselves to be peace-loving," he continued, "but history and data don't lie. There's a saying, 'never believe a crocodile's tears.'"

At the entrance of the Great Xia Space Agency, Chief Engineer Yang stood on the steps, looked expectantly in one direction.

After about thirty seconds, a black car appeared, and a young man in military uniform stepped out. He looked to be in his twenties. He was probably not the one Chief Engineer Yang was looking for.

As soon as Chief Engineer Yang saw the young man's age, he knew he wasn't the person he was waiting for and continued to look towards the other side of the car.

Unexpectedly, after the young man got off the car, the black car drove away directly.

"Has the investigator not come yet?!"

Chief Engineer Yang was confused and asked the young man who had just gotten off of the car.

"I am the investigator!"

The young man handed him a file folder and said, "My name is Chu. I'm here to assist in the investigation. Here are the documents..."

Ah?!

Chief Yang was surprised. The investigator sent by the higher-ups will assist in the investigation, but the level of authority given was high. In special circumstances, even he had to follow the investigator orders.

He didn't expect the investigator to be this young.

He quickly took the file and began to check it. To his surprise, it was indeed the person in front of him.

After a brief glance at the young man's shoulder badge, Chief Engineer Yang stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Colonel Chu, hello, I will trouble you for the next period of time..."

Colonel Chu nodded slightly, did not shake hands, and walked directly towards the door. He said, "Let's not waste any more time, please lead the way."

Chief Engineer Yang rubbed his nose. He felt that this young man was really something else. He shook his head, did what he was told and explained the situation.

When the group returned to the control room, Chief Engineer Yang had already explained the situation.

"As you probably know, White Rabbit Nine has disappeared. Our analysis shows that it may have been kidnapped by aliens," Chief Engineer Yang explained.

Colonel Chu said seriously, "I came here to figure out one thing, are there aliens on the Moon?!"

Chief Engineer Yang frowned, "But what about the three astronauts? Are we just going to abandon them?"

Colonel Chu said coldly, "If aliens really do arrive, you shouldn't worry about the astronauts anymore. You should worry about how long you'll survive."

Everyone in the room grew tense and dared not even take a breath.

The investigator sent by the higher-ups was clearly different.

Chief Engineer Yang felt overwhelmed and reluctantly said, "Do as you please. The higher-ups have instructed us to fully cooperate with you."

"Chief Engineer Yang, how many satellites can be used for inspection of the moon?" Colonel Chu asked.

"Eight," Chief Engineer Yang replied.

"How many of them are orbiting near the landing site of White Rabbit Nine?" Colonel Chu asked.

"Two, and one of them is still there, the Chang'e 3 Satellite," Chief Engineer Yang responded.

Colonel Chu smiled and said, "Take control of it and land the Chang'e 3 Satellite there!"

"What?!"

All the staff present were shocked.

"The lifespan of Chang'e-3 satellite still has thirteen years. Do we abandon it like this?!" Chief Engineer Yang asked.

Colonel Chu remained silent and muttered to himself, "We'll land it at the landing site. Make sure to adjust the landing posture..."

"I don't understand!" Chief Engineer Yang shouted.

Even though the Chang'e-3 satellite wasn't alive, Chief Engineer Yang had personally witnessed its creation and launch. To him, it was like his own child.

"Can't we just have the Chang'e-3 satellite search for aliens in space if we want to find them?"

Colonel Chu's expression remained unchanged as he replied calmly, "Our country already has eight satellites orbit around the moon, the oldest of which has been in service for nearly twenty years. During that time, have we discovered any aliens? No. This clearly shows that our satellites are unable to detect the presence of aliens. Only through close encounters can we find out what is truly happening."

Chief Engineer Yang sighed as he realized that Colonel Chu was resolute in his decision to crash the satellite.

With all the staff watching, Chief Engineer Yang spoke firmly: "You've all heard Colonel Chu's words, right? Let's follow his instructions and have the Chang'e 3 Satellite crash into the moon."
