Chapter 99: Aliens Really Exist on the Moon!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On January 9, 2029, TTDS, a famous hacker organization on Earth, released a large number of photos and videos on their official website.
The footage was taken between September 21 and October 3, 2028, precisely the time when White Rabbit No. 9 went missing on the Moon.
The photos and videos captured the entire process of White Rabbit No. 9 being captured by the Xiaotian robot.
In addition, there were also images of various types of probes launched by the Earth Federation on the Moon being captured.
“Aliens are on the Moon!”
The news shook the world.
“Could this be fake?!”
“It’s just a publicity stunt. Where would aliens come from on the Moon?!”
“Maybe it’s edited…”
“Come on, stop kidding. Do you know what this hacker organization has done before?”
“TTDS, out of the top ten officially covered-up scandals, they were responsible for eight of them…”
“I don’t know about this TTDS organization, but I’m a video editor. I just watched the video frame by frame, and there are no signs of editing…”
At first, most people were skeptical, thinking it might be a prank or someone trying to gain attention.
However, as more and more people learned about TTDS and realized that this organization never made baseless claims, the exposure they provided always had evidence to back it up.
Furthermore, many video editors confirmed that there were no signs of editing in the videos.
With the support of multiple sources, more and more people began to believe that aliens truly existed. More and more discussions about this began to rise. “Are the aliens on the Moon here to destroy Earth?!”
“That’s impossible. Weren’t the three astronauts from White Rabbit No. 9 returned?”
“Exactly, if they wanted to destroy Earth, they would have done it three and a half months ago…”
“Hey, do you think Blue Moon Technology Company is related to the aliens?”
“It’s highly likely. Every product they release is so advanced that it’s hard to believe it was developed by Earth itself…”
“See, I told you earlier that Earth couldn’t have developed fusion power plants so quickly…”
“I thought you were the one who said to have more confidence in Earth’s technology?!”
As heated as the discussions were, most of the people talking were no professionals in the field. Many people focused their attention on the Federation, waiting for an official statement.
For two consecutive days, the alien topic remained hot, and countless media outlets crowded around the Federation, trying to extract some information.
In some overseas regions, protests even started, demanding the truth and the chance to meet the aliens.
People became restless, and they were too bothered to even work. They just wanted to know whether aliens existed or not
Many sought various ways to find out and inquire about the truth, causing the Earth Federation’s hotline and official website to almost crash due to the overwhelming traffic.
Under the circ.u.mstances, on the third day, the Earth Federation could no longer hold back and held a press conference to address the alien-related questions worldwide.
The conference was scheduled in Chang’an, and on that day, plane tickets, maglev bus tickets, and various forms of transportation were sold out in no time.
Some even rode shared bicycles, rushing across multiple cities, just to witness history with their own eyes.
In a matter of half a day, nearly tens of millions of people flooded into Chang’an, turning the entire city into a congested sea of people.
Those who couldn’t make it to the scene still paid full attention to the conference all day long.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of the world, the press conference began.
There were two representatives, Colonel Chu and Senator Miller.
“h.e.l.lo, Colonel Chu. Is it true that there are aliens on the Moon?” the first journalist asked directly.
For this interview, the well-known journalists present had discussed in advance and carefully selected their questions to ensure they could obtain as much information as possible with the fewest questions.
The first question would determine whether there was a need to continue asking further questions.
At this moment, the world came to a standstill. Everyone either sat at home watching TV or knelt on their beds staring at their phones, not daring to blink, all focused on the conference.
Colonel Chu nodded and said solemnly, “It is true!”
The world trembled!
Everyone was filled with excitement. Some even took off their clothes on the spot and ran through the streets, cheering with joy.
However, some people felt anxious, worrying that the arrival of aliens was not good news for Earth.
The second journalist followed up, “Is Blue Moon Technology Company established by aliens?”
This question would determine whether the aliens were friendly or hostile to Earth.
The jubilant crowd realized the seriousness of the question, and they stopped their actions, held their breath, and stared intently.
Senator Miller grinned and nodded, “That’s right, all the products of Blue Moon Technology Company come from the Moon!”
“Hooray!”
Countless journalists on-site shouted, and all the people watching the live broadcast around the world breathed a sigh of relief and joined in the cheering.
The two most important questions received affirmative answers. This meant that they pretty much decided what the other questions were going to be
Every time the two senators answered a question, people listening would react in a surprised and excited manner.
The press conference ended, and the live broadcast was cut off, but the global discussion about aliens was just beginning.
“Aren’t aliens amazing? They have done nothing but good to people of Earth…”
“Yes, so much technology has changed Earth and changed us too…”
“Blue Moon was originally a small asteroid that would destroy Blue Star, but the extraterrestrials saved us. Thank you, aliens…”
“Thank you, aliens. If you don’t mind, I would like to marry one of them…”
“What do aliens look like? Are there any pictures?”
“I don’t know. The Earth Federation hasn’t released any…”
“Do you think Zhao Yu might be an alien?”
“Impossible. Zhao Yu is just a representative of Blue Moon Technology Company…”
“It is said that Zhao Yu was one of the first chosen by the aliens and was given an important role. That’s why the aliens came to trade with us…”
“I’m also named Zhao Yu. Why didn’t the aliens choose me?”
“I heard that Zhao Yu went missing right after a breakup. Could that be the aliens’ criteria for selecting people?”
“Liu Longlong, I’m breaking up with you right now…”
During this press conference, the Earth Federation did not reveal everything; they only provided some basic information.
They also explained that the extraterrestrials established Blue Moon Technology Company to trade technology products for resources.
At the same time, they introduced a new currency to the world, a currency that became the most valuable as soon as it appeared.
“Blue Moon dollar. It is said that our federation would need to spend 300 Blue Moon dollar, equivalent to resources worth 1 million Federation Coins, for one robot…”
“300 Blue Moon Coins, which equals 1 million Federation Coins. That’s too much…”
“Oh my G.o.d, I just remembered something. Will the salaries of the one million people immigrating to the Moon be paid in Blue Moon dollar?!”
“Definitely. They are said to be hired by Blue Moon Technology Company, so they will definitely be paid in Blue Moon dollar…”
“Ugh, I wish I went. I had already pa.s.sed the screening to go to the Moon, but my mom wouldn’t let me…”
“Are there any new immigration methods? I also want to live on the Moon, not for the Blue Moon dollars, but to contribute to the development of the Moon…”
“Hey, when will Blue Moon Technology Company open a dedicated tourist route from Earth to the Moon?”
“I don’t know how fast their s.p.a.ceships are, but even if they make one trip per week, I would love to go and explore…”
Besides the discussions about aliens online, there were also many discussions about Zhao Yu. Many people envied him for being chosen by the aliens to represent them.
There were also quite a few people who tried doing what Zhao Yu did. They broke up with their partner. According to an incomplete statistic from a marriage agency, the number of people canceling their memberships that day reached one million.
Amidst this overwhelming news, an inconspicuous piece of information silently arrived at the Xiaodu Base along with a s.p.a.ceship traversing the sky..
