Chapter 486: Chapter 303 Hello, Houston_3

These images were usually monotonous and unchanging.

This task was simply to not waste the remaining value of the Apollo 17 Lunar Rover, but since it could not move and had only the front camera, the rover, which could only capture a fixed area in front of it, had already lost any substantial scientific value.

Initially, the upper echelons of Lighthouse Country had shown interest.

But over time, the presence of this group faded.

Some senior leaders began to think this monitoring was almost meaningless.

Thus, in the decades following the end of the Apollo 17 mission, the lunar rover, which only transmitted the same old information every day, was gradually neglected, and related funding steadily decreased.

The number of team members responsible for overseeing it was also reduced to five. They squeezed into a small, independent office, continuing this seemingly pointless work.

It was said that NASA had recently considered disbanding this meaningless department to cut unnecessary personnel expenses.

Fortunately, the idea had not yet been implemented.

The relevant team members were still able to continue muddling through their days.

The team members were quite satisfied with this laid-back lifestyle. They did not hate it.

For those who remained, this job felt more like a way to escape reality, a sanctuary from the fast-paced social life.

They repeated the same work every day.

They occasionally talked about the past and imagined scenes of humans returning to the Moon.

However, on an ordinary day like this, everything suddenly changed.

When the engineers turned on the front camera as usual, they were surprised to find that the lunar rover seemed to have been moved to a different place.

The terrain around it had changed.

Because the built-in positioning system was damaged and the field of view was limited, the engineers didn’t know at first where the lunar rover had ended up.

But according to the data records from decades up to yesterday, it was clear this was not where the lunar rover had been positioned before.

It was a pity that the rover’s functions were damaged, and the energy issues allowed the camera to be turned on only for a short while each day.

As for what happened during the times the camera was off, it was completely unknown.

"Was this moved by some kind of storm?"

Mike asked doubtfully.

But Jack, frowning, interjected, "This isn’t Mars. There’s no atmosphere here, so where would any storm come from?"

After he spoke.

Everyone fell silent.

They didn’t understand how the lunar rover suddenly ended up in a completely different spot.

While they were deep in thought.

Emily suddenly exclaimed, "Look closely at the ground!"

Hearing this.

Everyone began to scrutinize it carefully.

In front of the lunar rover, clear English scratches had been left on the Moon’s surface by some unknown force:

"Hello, Houston."

Translated, this simply meant:

"Hello, Houston."

These few simple words made the entire room fall instantly silent.

Then incredulous shouts followed.

"This can’t be possible!"

"What’s going on? Who would write such a message on the Moon?"

Senior engineer Jack couldn’t help but shout out loud.

Emily quickly pulled up a higher-resolution image, trying to confirm if this was really a line of English.

And the result was...

It wasn’t a mark resembling English, it was definitely English!

This scene left everyone in the office feeling incredulous.

Who wrote this?

Could it be the work of an alien?

Or was some other unknown force at play?
