"Stop now!"

The general immediately told the soldiers surrounding Han Xu to stop, otherwise they would swarm the three of them in the next second.

The general recognized Han Xu and others, so he immediately shouted to stop them. The soldiers then put away their guns, and Han Xu and the others were surprised.

The general immediately came forward: "I didn't expect you to capture country M's space capsule. We thought you had been sacrificed."

Only then did the three of them, Han Xu, realize what a big mistake they had made. Nangong Yue stepped forward and said, "Time is running out and there is no time to say more. We are about to formulate a plan for the second manned moon landing. We must land again in the short term."

Moon!"

The general asked: "What is on the back side of the moon?"

Nangong Yue paused and looked at the many people present. In the end, he still did not explain the situation behind the moon. He said: "Hurry up and hold a meeting. We will formulate a report on everything we encountered on the back of the moon, and wait for the report.

After it is over, we will probably start studying the second moon landing plan immediately."

The general nodded, and then immediately said to his subordinates: "Bring the No. 1 armored car over here!"

After a dark green armored vehicle drove up to them, Han Xuren got on the armored vehicle and returned to the base under the protection of a large force.

After returning to the base, the military doctors and nurses at the base conducted a physical examination on the three people. After the physical examination, the three people attended the meeting non-stop. Nangong Yue immediately reported what he had already thought about.

A detailed report was given on the trip. After understanding the situation, the leaders present immediately made new arrangements and requested that the second manned moon landing plan be started immediately.

At the end of the meeting, the general found Han Xu and the others: "I need you to attend the press conference now and explain to reporters that we have found nothing on the back of the moon, in order to paralyze other countries."

Nangong Yue nodded, and then said to Han Xu: "Han Xu, I'll leave the press conference to you."

Han Xu raised his left hand and looked at the symbol above. This symbol has changed four times in the past sixteen hours. According to accurate calculations, this symbol will change once every four hours and three minutes.

Every change was like a sledgehammer hitting Han Xu's heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"According to my analysis, this countdown should be '8' or a multiple of '8'." Chu Fei said.

Han Xu took the speech material handed over by Nangong Yue. It was a speech at a press conference. In order to confuse other countries, the order of questions and the content of the speech had been planned. He took a look at the material and then asked Chu Fei

Said: "Why '8'?"

Chu Fei replied: "According to my observation, the mathematics of this alien civilization should be in base octal. The mine doors, conveyor belts, elevators, and control seats of their spacecraft are all '8' or multiples of '8'."

Han Xu recalled it and found that it was indeed the case. He said: "According to this, I only have 16 hours at the least."

The symbol has jumped four times. If the countdown is "8", then it will jump four more times and the countdown will be over.

And no one knows what will happen after the countdown ends.

The press conference is still going to happen. Han Xu cannot be in a daze and do nothing all day because of this countdown. He just hopes that something good will happen after the countdown ends.

The press conference was scheduled for the next day. 12 hours later, Han Xu could now have a good rest. As the three astronauts who experienced life and death on the back of the moon before returning, they were already considered heroes by others.

Some staff showed admiration when they saw them.

Nangong Yue said to Han Xu: "After the press conference, we went to the capital together to receive the commendation."

Han Xu nodded, and he returned to his room in the base to rest, but when he thought of the inexplicable countdown on his left hand, he couldn't sleep.

Although he didn't understand the mathematical meaning of this ever-changing symbol, the existence of the countdown always made Han Xu uneasy, and the smaller the number, the more nervous he became.

The next day, Han Xu came to the press conference. At this moment, the symbol on the palm of his left hand changed seven times. According to calculations, the eighth change will occur in two hours, and that will most likely be the last change.

Under this situation, Han Xu continued to remain calm and came to the press conference.

What surprised Han Xu was that Chu Fei was actually here. She said to Han Xu: "The results of our physical examination have come out. Let me tell you some good news. The little black dot that invaded our body is not a bad thing.

It is a nanorobot with very high technological content. This nanorobot has transformed our bodies to a certain extent, making our physical fitness more than three times stronger than ordinary people!"

Han Xu suddenly realized: "No wonder!"

Why their physical fitness has become so good and why they can survive in an environment with an oxygen concentration of only 3% is all because they have nanorobots in their bodies. But when did these nanorobots invade their bodies? Will they also invade?

The body of an astronaut from country M?

"The press conference has begun, relevant personnel please enter quickly!" Just when Han Xu was about to continue asking questions, the staff at the venue interrupted Han Xu, and Han Xu had to enter the venue.

After entering the venue, Han Xu glanced at the time. It was now 10 a.m. on September 20, 2030, exactly 10 days had passed since the day he boarded the manned moon landing spacecraft.

He sat at the speaking table, waited for the first reporter to ask a question, and then answered according to the content of the speech materials:

"There is nothing on the far side of the moon."

The purpose of this answer is to paralyze other countries.

The second reporter stood up and asked: "Country M also launched a manned moon landing rocket. Didn't you meet them?"

Han Xu continued to answer according to the answer given: "We have not met, maybe because we are not exploring the same place."

But at this moment, a reporter suddenly stood up. Without raising his hand or being named, he asked directly: "Then why did you return in the space capsule of country M? Did you seize it?"

A space capsule from country M?"

This question immediately caused a commotion among the people at the venue, and the people at the speaker's table also looked at each other. This question was obviously not part of the plan.

Behind the scenes, the general's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said: "It seems that we need to rectify our internal affairs."

Han Xu did not panic. He looked at the reporter who asked the question: "Although we and Country M did not meet on the back of the moon, we did get in touch. We had a friendly exchange, and then we each completed our respective tasks. On our side

When the mission was completed, we planned to leave the moon in our lunar module, but our lunar module malfunctioned. At this time, the astronauts of Country M generously lent us their second return module.

”

Han Xu deftly resolved the crisis, and no more questions were asked than planned. The reporter who did not ask questions according to the plan was quietly taken away.

The entire press conference lasted for 2 hours and went relatively smoothly. When the press conference was about to end, Han Xu suddenly found that the symbol in the palm of his left hand changed and then disappeared instantly.

Han Xu was shocked.

Countdown.
Chapter completed!
