Chapter 266: Chapter 246: The Advancing Moon (Two-in-One)

In the meeting room, everyone was discussing with a somber tone.

"Regarding the matters of moon landing, we must act quickly! If this exceeds the expectations of ’Game’, we might have to figure out how to conduct the investigations ourselves."

"Yes, we must hurry!"

Everyone was deeply concerned.

Although those present were at the Game Training Camp, ’Game’ had always been aloof, never communicating with humans.

No one knew how it really thought. Some even believed that ’Game’ might not possess self-consciousness, but was merely a collection of complex algorithms.

’Game’ might not have calculated the occurrence of an accident on the Moon.

A strategist from the West said, "The current moon rockets, the Saturn, haven’t been produced for decades, and there are no spares. The resumption of Saturn-class rockets could take a short four or five years or as long as five or six years... It’s not something that can be done in the short term."

"Even with the global industrial chain, it would take two to three years."

Years of production time, and the opportunity would be long gone!

But that’s the reality. Industrial production wasn’t magic; with the original industrial chain shut down, how could one easily restore it? Money was not the answer!

This was indeed a headache-inducing issue. The major powers did have some rockets capable of launching lunar rovers... but lunar rovers and manned spaceflight were of entirely different levels of difficulty.

"What about using super-science?" asked an elder from the Black-clothed Guard.

After half an hour of discussion, leveraging the power of global elites, people thought of a few barely feasible solutions.

"The first method is to send a few excellent investigators directly to the Moon through the Heaven’s Ladder to see what exactly has happened there."

But this plan also had substantial risks.

The Moon was not Earth, a region that had no life to begin with. Academically, it was referred to as an "Outer Planet."

Physical laws are isotropic; whether billion years ago or now, whether on Earth or the distant Centauri Alpha Constellation, the physical laws of each region from the perspectives of time and space are the same.

However, the rules of Idealism are not isotropic.

With the change of time and space, the rules of Idealism undergo subtle changes.

On an "Outer Planet," the rules of Idealism would shift from the dominant "Humanity Principle" known to humans, towards the "Human Existence Principle."

Or even possibly to the "Weak Existence Principle!"

To put it simply: In a world where humans exist, humans will change the surrounding environment, and the rules of Idealism will be friendly towards humans.

In a world without humans, the rules of Idealism tend to slowly shift in a direction that is "unfavorable" to humans.

This could cause some supernatural objects to become directly ineffective.

Therefore, the Heaven’s Ladder might fail. Once it fails, the investigators who enter would be trapped inside.

"Actually, I think the Moon can still be reached..." Lu Tianming whispered, "At least, humans have landed on the Moon before and left footprints there."

"But how to go about it is another story. It’s not like I can just go, right?"

"It is indeed barely possible to land on the Moon, just extremely difficult." Investigator 24 nodded in agreement, "About climbing around two thousand floors roughly, only a rare few could achieve this level of difficulty."

If one were to try to use the "Heaven’s Ladder" to directly travel to Mars, it would nearly be impossible, likely even more difficult than reaching God’s Domain!

Because no humans had ever left their footsteps on Mars, academically, such planets were considered "worlds that repel the existence of human Idealism rules."

...

"There’s also a second method, which is still to launch a rocket, combined with a series of supernatural methods, to augment the rocket’s carrying capacity."

The methods of physics need not consider the rules of Idealism.

In the future, if humans build a base on the Moon, with humans’ long-term presence, the Idealism rules above the Moon would also shift from an "Outer Planet" to a "somewhat friendly" little world.

This astronomer explained on the screen: "We can use ordinary rockets to load Strange Objects of the spatial type, filled with a large amount of fuel, and send them near the geostationary orbit."

"Then the Astronauts would assemble a lunar spacecraft in geostationary orbit. This could solve the problem of insufficient rocket carrying capacity."

"Of course, the number of people landing on the Moon cannot be too many, no more than five. The risk of this plan is slightly less than that of Heaven’s Ladder. But for spatial Strange Objects to help climb the gravity well, it could consume a large amount of ’source’, incurring substantial financial costs."

"How much would it need to consume?" asked Roger, the head of the Mysterious Bureau.

"To transport 1 ton of material to geostationary Earth orbit using Idealism, it might cost 1,000 units of ’source’."

The middle-aged man frowned slightly; this price...

Was indeed expensive.

Much more than ordinary rockets!

But there was no choice, even Idealism creatures had to abide by the law of conservation of energy.

Otherwise, perpetual motion machines could have been easily created.

...

After a fierce discussion, especially over financial issues, people still prudently chose the second option.

A few major countries shouldered the most "source" cost, gritting their teeth, a few thousand units of ’source’, was still bearable.

And the selection of Astronauts was also quickly decided upon, totaling five people.

Two of the most outstanding Astronauts were responsible for operating all kinds of space instruments.
