Chapter 66: The Moon

The black spire stands on the sea, like an alien building, which is out of tune with the environment of the earth.

Many fleets stayed around the spire to sample and study it.

Soon after, the spire made a huge roar, and the top of the spire opened like a petal, revealing the rocket inside the spire.

This rocket is different from ordinary rockets. Ordinary rockets can only give people a sense of shock, but the rocket inside the spire has a strange sense of oppression.

The surface of the rocket is covered with black tar, and the metal shell is still bubbling out.

The creations of the Shoggoths always have the characteristics of the Shoggoths. Although the appearance of the rocket is very strange, it does not affect the performance of the rocket.

"Everything is ready, let's go now!"

Su Lun thought in his heart, controlling the rocket to start ignition and launch, aiming at the moon.

The black rocket started to launch, and the chemical engine pushed this strange rocket into the sky.

There is no astronaut in the rocket, because the rocket is originally part of the Shoggoths and can be controlled without astronauts.

This is Su Lun's first time launching a rocket, and everything must be very careful and cannot go wrong.

...

Around the ocean, everyone stood on the shoulders of the ship and watched the rocket take off.

Someone couldn't help but say in shock: "These monsters built a rocket so quickly!"

They have been guessing what the huge black spire in front of them is and the secrets of the underwater city. Now they find that the spire is just a rocket launch pad.

They also discovered the gap in strength between monsters and humans. Monsters can build rockets in half a month, and humans may not be so fast even if they gather the power of the world.

What they don't know is that they misjudged the time it took Su Lun to build a rocket. Su Lun built the rocket on the first day. He was just waiting for the right time so that he could quickly land on the moon.

After the rocket was launched, the spire retracted into the depths of the ocean, and the sea returned to calm, leaving only some ships on the sea.

In the sky, a large number of fighters began to track Su Lun's rocket, and satellites were also observing the direction of the rocket.

The rocket is very fast, but it is nothing for a planet of the size of the earth. Satellites can estimate the target of the rocket through the flight trajectory of the rocket.

"Report to headquarters, the black rocket is accelerating and will reach the first cosmic speed in one minute!"

The fighter plane of the new country followed the rocket to fly into the sky, and the pilot inside reported to the headquarters while controlling the fighter plane.

His speed at the beginning was not much faster than the rocket, but he was soon surpassed by the speed of the rocket.

"Continue to observe, and report immediately no matter what you find."

"Received."

The fighter plane continued to fly with the rocket, but the fighter plane's flight altitude was limited.

One minute later, his flight altitude reached the limit and he had to change the flight direction, but this would lose the target.

"Report, the target is lost."

The fighter plane began to return, and the only thing left to observe the rocket was the satellite.

...

Su Lun controlled the rocket to reach the first cosmic speed to leave the atmosphere, began to fly around the earth, and began to plan the lunar orbit at the same time.

At this time, Su Lun had a panoramic view of the entire blue earth, and on the other side of the earth were infinite stars.

The stars in space were dazzling, and the feeling of looking at stars on earth was completely different. Every star was very bright.

But in addition to the stars, there was more darkness in the universe, and the light of the stars was insignificant compared to the darkness of the universe.

The first feeling Su Lun had when he came to space was shock, and the second feeling was insignificance. Compared to the universe, humans are not even ants.

Su Lun felt endless nothingness. Under the scale of the universe, it seemed that everything was meaningless.

He looked at the space and fell into deep thought, his eyes becoming clearer and clearer.

"One day I will find out the secrets of the universe."

Su Lun's desire to explore the universe became stronger. Now he was insignificant to the universe, but there were infinite possibilities in the future.

His state of mind was sublimated and his will was more determined.

He no longer paid attention to the universe, but put his attention back on his rocket ship, waiting to land after entering the lunar orbit.

Su Lun had simulated the scene of landing on the moon in infinite space before, and was very confident that he could complete this landing.

After a while, Su Lun arrived above the moon and began to let the Shoggoth land slowly.

A huge spherical object fell from the moon, smashing a small hole on the surface of the moon, and a large amount of black protoplasm leaked out of the sphere.

Various high-energy radiations quickly killed part of the protoplasm, and the remaining protoplasm immediately combined into a hard metal shell to resist the ubiquitous radiation on the moon.

Su Lun controlled the Shugos to grow plant-like roots and leaves. The leaves can absorb sunlight to replenish some energy, and the roots are responsible for analyzing the composition of the moon and absorbing usable substances from the moon.

A large tree with leaves and metal on the surface appeared on the moon. This metal tree is growing and getting bigger.

A large amount of protoplasm splits inside the trunk, and sunlight is the energy source of these protoplasms.

The metal tree suddenly stopped growing, and more than a dozen tumor-like fruits grew out of it.

Not long after, many mechanical worms transformed from protoplasm drilled out of the fruit. The worms crawled to an open place and quickly grew roots to become a new metal tree.

In the moon, where the environment is completely different from the earth, Su Lun can only absorb nutrients step by step.

When the metal tree turned into a metal forest, the fungal carpet began to spread, surrounding the entire metal forest.

Su Lun began to transform the metal forest, transforming this area into a place suitable for the survival of the Shoggoth.

The mining worms entered the ground, and the metal forest began to change in the direction of the steel factory.

Not long after, a huge mechanical worm drilled out of the metal forest.

The moon is full of deserts and small rocks, and the movement of worms is more suitable for the moon.

"Finally succeeded."

Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief, and he controlled the mechanical worm to move around on the surface of the moon.

The environment of the moon made him feel like he had arrived in a new world, but the moon was very desolate, with gravel and rubble everywhere, and no living things.

Su Lun looked at the metal forest behind him. He planned to build a lunar base here, specifically to connect with the Sea City on Earth, so that he could land on the moon at any time in the future.

He planned to leave the Shoggoth on the moon to transform the moon, and had no plans to return to Earth for the time being.

However, before transforming the earth, he had another goal, to find the place indicated on the clone system to see if there was anything worth noting on the moon.

Su Lun didn't know much about the moon. After all, this was the first moon landing, so he didn't know what the situation was on the moon or whether there were aliens.
