Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 222 Alien Spaceship

"Well, I've already traveled through time once, so I'm already beyond the realm of common sense. How can I still think like this? My knowledge of Earth is too limited. The wormhole that Earthlings have been speculating about is actually right behind me. That's the best proof."

……Um?

So, the monsters and gods mentioned in ancient books must be aliens like me who traveled through wormholes. It just can't be confirmed, so it can only be recorded in the form of myths.

Ok……

So, does that mean if I return to Earth, I'll be an alien too?

……

Mo Yuming's mind was filled with all sorts of questions and hypotheses.

"What are we thinking? It's pointless. Finding the solar system is the real priority!"

After a moment of blankness, Mo Yuming came to his senses and began to carefully observe the star map.

"The Big Dipper is due north, my elementary school teacher taught me that... Huh? I'm not on Earth right now, so why is the star chart I see still the same as when I was on Earth? So... my current location should be near Earth, or at least not too far away! ... But apart from that wormhole, there's nothing around me, just pitch black!"

Mo Yuming muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through his mind, and his thoughts shifted. Mo Yuming laughed heartily, slapped his forehead, and exclaimed:

"How could I be so stupid? How could the Earth be visible from the far side of the moon? Besides, it should be nighttime on the far side of the moon right now."

Therefore, the sun cannot be seen. One lunar night is equivalent to fifteen Earth days, so to see sunlight from this location, it would probably be a very long time!

Having figured it out, Mo Yuming floated into the darkness without hesitation. Since it was pitch black, he could only rely on his divine sense to perceive his surroundings. Mo Yuming silently used the halo above his head as a reference point to estimate his flight distance.

One hundred zhang, two hundred zhang... five hundred zhang, ... eight hundred zhang...

"There seems to be a blurry outline below; it should be a mountain peak, right?"

When Mo Yuming estimated that they had descended eight hundred zhang, he vaguely sensed a blurry, enormous object.

"It should be a stone peak, otherwise it wouldn't be very square."

After descending another hundred feet, the outline of the object became clearer and clearer. Mo Yuming could roughly sense its shape.

"The mountains on the moon are quite different from those on Earth. They have strange shapes and even have regular geometric outlines."

After descending another two hundred zhang, Mo Yuming realized that the object below was actually a regular geometric shape. Some doubts arose in his mind.

"No! This isn't a mountain, it's a man-made object! It's very likely a building! When did humans start building on the far side of the moon?"

I've only been away from Earth for a few years, and Earth has developed so fast? I remember when I first traveled back in time, humanity was still in the lunar exploration stage, and landing on the moon was just beginning.

It would take at least several decades for things to have developed to this stage! Could this be another work of aliens? Or is it a case of 'a day in heaven is a thousand years on earth'—a few years on the Tianxuan Continent, but a century has passed on Earth?

Mo Yuming continued descending while pondering to himself.

"No, this isn't a building, it's a gigantic spaceship!"

When Mo Yuming was only a hundred feet away from the object, he finally perceived its full appearance. It was a huge shuttle-shaped spaceship, more than three hundred feet long, a hundred feet wide, and fifty or sixty feet high.

It is several times larger than the largest aircraft carrier Mo Yuming has ever seen.

The spaceship's surface was extremely smooth. In Mo Yuming's perception, the back of the spaceship had almost no seams or windows, as if it were carved from a single piece, demonstrating the superb craftsmanship.

On each side was a slender wing, and Mo Yuming could clearly sense ducts beneath the wings, resembling jet exhaust nozzles. A faint airflow was emanating from these ducts, indicating that the spaceship was still functioning internally and had not completely ceased operations.

"Who built this spaceship? Why is it parked on the far side of the moon? Are they afraid of being discovered? Never mind, let's go up there and take a look first."

Mo Yuming landed lightly on the spaceship. The surface of the spaceship should also be black. Mo Yuming's eyesight is now much better than before, and he can see even the faintest light. At this moment, he can clearly see that the spaceship's color is darker than the surrounding space, since the dust on the lunar surface is not completely black.

Mo Yuming circled the spaceship but couldn't find a window to enter. A slight airflow was escaping from the nozzles at the rear, because the heat generated by the propulsion during flight hadn't been fully dissipated.

"Could it be that this spaceship has only recently landed here? The heat from its tail and the signs of dust settling around it indicate that the spaceship has only been here for a short time."

After careful sensing, Mo Yuming obtained an astonishing answer: this spaceship might be the one he had chased in space before. Due to the short time, he hadn't been able to see its full appearance clearly and lost track of it after it flew into the blue light circle.

Judging from the timing and signs, it makes sense; I only chased after it because I saw it fly by.

"After passing through the wormhole, this spaceship landed directly on the far side of the moon and hid instead of heading towards Earth. There's definitely something wrong with that. If it's not an alien spaceship, it must be a spacecraft from a secret Earth organization. It's definitely not a benevolent entity."

Mo Yuming pondered.

"Let's start by making a show of force to get those hiding inside to come out, then we can investigate and see what's going on. I can fly in space now and at a very high speed, so I'm definitely not afraid of those people who rely on spacecraft to fly. Even if they try to run away, I'm not afraid. I almost caught up with them in space before, so I'm even less afraid of them escaping now that they're right in front of me."

Mo Yuming's curiosity was piqued, so he decided to take the initiative to call out to the people in the spaceship so he could see what was going on.

However, since the other party's identity and background were unknown, even the boldest Mo Yuming dared not act rashly. So he flew to the tail of the spaceship and decided to make a commotion there first.

Mo Yuming circled the tail of the aircraft and found that apart from the four huge jet nozzles, there was nothing else to do. The fuselage was hard and solid, and he figured that even if he hit it with a hammer, he wouldn't make a sound.

So Mo Yuming walked into a jet nozzle that was more than ten feet high, took a few steps inside, stood in the middle of the exhaust port, and extended his divine sense to probe inside. He felt that in addition to many parts on the jet pipe wall, there was also a hollow hole that led directly into the fuselage.

Mo Yuming naturally understood the function of these parts. The spaceship relied on these parts to generate thrust and propel it forward. These parts and pipes might store energy or raw materials that generate energy. They should not be touched carelessly. If energy leaked or the circuit short-circuited, it could explode, and he would be in serious trouble.

The pipe that extends inward from the middle is more than 30 feet long before it merges with three other hollow pipes. At the end, there is a more complex arrangement of parts. Behind the dense electrical lines is a cavity that is several tens of feet in diameter. The cavity is covered with a dense array of electrical components.

Mo Yuming sensed a huge energy fluctuation inside the cavity through the gaps between the parts, estimating that it was the energy reaction center. However, Mo Yuming wasn't sure what kind of energy it was.

Just as Mo Yuming was feeling helpless, he suddenly remembered what the witch girl, Pu Yazhu, had said. She explained that their witch clan's techniques could use soul power to manipulate objects and attack enemies, but these techniques were rather useless at the initial stages. Even at the peak of the human level, one could only attack enemies within a ten-foot radius, and the attack power was only ten jin (approximately 5 kg). Although Mo Yuming had been cultivating, his goal was simply to improve his spiritual power. According to Pu Yazhu, only members of the witch clan could successfully cultivate the witch clan's techniques, so he had never tried using them for attack training. Because his physique differed from that of the witch clan, he hadn't known what level he had reached after so long. Fortunately, he had already learned the method of channeling energy, and now he could try it out. Mo Yuming didn't aim for the same results as the witch clan; he only needed to be able to touch the buttons and slide the control keys within a short distance. According to Pu Yazhu, reaching this level should only require reaching the entry-level stage.
