Chapter 2 Stad Astronomical Observatory

One minute later, that is, the time on the back of the moon mst (also known as the standard time of the moon, moo

sta

da

d    time) At 14:56 on June 12, 2253, the news that the mysterious cube wrapped around the earth had been spread to the lunar headquarters located on the back of the moon.

As for why the lunar standard time uses the back of the moon, it starts with the moon itself.

Since the moon became the only satellite on Earth billions of years ago, it has always faced the earth with its head facing due to the influence of gravity, and its back will never face the earth. This has become an iron law.

After humans developed the moon, although there were more frontal bases and people, the real core command and advanced scientific research base were all located on the back of the moon. Just give an example. Although the North Third Ring Road and the South Third Ring Road of the Capital are the same distance from the geographical center of the capital, the north is either rich or noble, and the south is poor, so naturally the rules must be formulated based on the North Third Ring Road.

On the back of the moon, a high-end building made of black rare earth alloy stands near Mendeleev Crater, which is the "General Command of Joint Human Development of the Moon", referred to as the General Command.

In a huge office on the third floor, Minsk, commander-in-chief from the United European Community of Earth, frowned and looked at the photo collection in front of him like a sculpture.

The only evidence that he is still a living human is probably the only one that flickering cigar in his mouth.

Photos of different angles but the same content were heard from 22 observatories on the front of the moon - the circular earth has been lifted from the South Pole by a cube, forming a strange three-dimensional shape, which is exactly the scene Mark saw.

Minsk is a manager and not a technician, but even so, he can understand the facts reflected in these photos. So immediately after receiving the news, he asked his adjutant Tyron to try to use the eighteen long-wave communication stations on the moon to contact the earth.

"Referring to the commander, all long-wave communication station signals cannot successfully contact the earth!" A stumbled figure rushed into Minsk's office, and it was Tyron, a brown-haired adjutant.

He usually looks graceful and elegant, and is said to have a background of a certain English Earl family. His fluent Oxford accent reflects his qualities over the years.

But at this moment, Tyron looked completely panicked, and he didn't even notice that his tie had deviated from the thirty degrees - this was a situation that was impossible in normal times.

"Can't contact? What does that mean? Didn't the earth respond when the signal was sent?" Minsk asked in a deep voice.

Tyron replied unhurriedly: "No, our long-wave signal cannot reach the earth at all, it is blocked in space! After testing, only the communications of various bases on the moon can continue to operate."

"Isn't there an emergency contact channel? Let the 'Courage' space station be relayed?" Minsk was shocked and said subconsciously.

"Not even, our long-wave signals can only be connected on the moon." Tyron seemed very frustrated.

Minsk nodded, then took another sip of the cigar and said, "I understand, you can step down first."

"But now everyone on the front of the moon has seen something wrong with the earth. Should we take all our actions? Also, is it necessary to make public the matter of not being able to contact the Earth and the "Courage" space station?" Tyron was obviously trying his best to play the role of advice he should have as an adjutant.

"That's not what you should consider, adjutant! Now my order is to let you go back to the rest cabin immediately to rest. Do you understand?" Minsk's tone suddenly showed a little majesty, which was also a sign of his anger.

"yes"

After Tyron closed the door, Minsk put away his anger, but replaced it with a very strange expression.

"Come on, get the vehicle ready. I'm going to the Stad Astronomy Observatory on the front of the moon." Minsk took a deep breath to calm down his mood and said to the headphones.

Three hours later, the Stad Astronomical Observatory is located in the center of Chenghai on the front of the moon.

This is the largest astronomical observatory on the front of the moon. It has a variety of astronomical telescopes suitable for use on the moon, including physical radio, and other astronomical telescopes suitable for use on the moon. However, since the largest astronomical telescope made by humans is still the third generation of "Habbo" orbiting the earth, and the extremely clear photos of any celestial bodies in the solar system are taken and sent to the moon by it, the Stad Astronomical Observatory has become a useless unit. Usually, there is only one astronomical scientist who is always on duty, and it is also the kind of idle thing. After all, all operations have long been intelligently electronicized, and scientists come here just to check in and get their wages through a formality.

But even such an astronomical observatory that is so unpopular that it is no longer unpopular, today welcomes the most important person on the moon, Commander-in-Chief Minsk. After receiving the notice that the commander-in-chief would come to inspect three hours ago, all the staff of the observatory began to be busy and began to pack up their things and wait for the inspection of the first person on the moon.

But after Minsk arrived, he did not stay in the public area for too long, but quickly went directly to the roof of the third floor - there was a super-large Dobusson reflective telescope with a maximum diameter of 8,000mm on the moon. He needed to use this astronomical telescope to observe the abnormalities of the earth in order to analyze what the cube was. After all, whether it is with the naked eye or the photo, it is not as meaningful as the conclusion he came to after looking at the telescope with his own eyes.

There is no air on the moon, so the impact of the atmosphere on the observer's visual degree does not exist at all. Even a small domestic astronomical telescope with a caliber of only 80mm can exert an amazing naked-eye observation effect on the moon, let alone this 8000mm super-large Dobson reflective telescope.

"Why can't you observe for so long?" Minsk asked slightly unhappy when he looked at the scientist who had been debugging the telescope in front of him.

"Commander, I was focusing just now. Now I need to synchronize the equatorial meter with the Earth's orbit so that the Earth will be fixed in the same position in the eyepiece you observe and will not leave the central field of view, so that your observation will be more in line with you. OK, now it's OK."

After all, there is a big man in front of me, so this Chinese astronomical scientist named Qin Yi tried his best to make his explanation seem easier to understand.
