Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Zhuxia, Observatory, Lunar Exploration Project Team —

Inside the hall, staff members were intently operating the equipment, creating a serious atmosphere.

The team members were busy, each doing their own thing, and everything was in good order.

"The lunar orbiter's CCD stereo camera has already taken pictures, at an altitude of approximately 200 kilometers above the lunar surface, within its orbital range..."

"The deep space exploration antenna in Miyun, Beijing, has received a signal. The signal acquisition is good, and the data is being transmitted."

"Data received, channel processing in progress. Dr. Ye, the work is now handed over to your team."

"receive!"

Ye Qi led his team members in editing the information in an orderly manner.

First, radiometric calibration must be performed to eliminate optical and circuit errors in the camera itself.

Signal enhancement was immediately performed, noise was removed, and contrast and brightness were adjusted to make the transmitted image clearer.

Finally, geometric correction is performed, using the detector's orbit and attitude data to "correct" the image to the correct geographical location.

Once the individual images are corrected, they are stitched together, and a photograph taken by the probe is transmitted back to Earth from 380,000 miles away.

Dr. Ye's team had done this work many times before and were very familiar with it, but every researcher was still focused and afraid of making any mistakes.

Once all the meticulous work was completed, the team members could only relax a little after quietly waiting for the computer to process the results.

"Dr. Ye, have you seen the recent news?"

"news?"

"Yes, it's the news about the riots that have occurred in major temples across the country. Those fanatical believers gathered in various temples, refusing to eat or drink, acting like a bunch of lunatics, and even causing several violent incidents."

The colleagues took a sip of water and chatted about various interesting news and events that had happened recently.

Dr. Ye took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said, "I've seen these news reports online, and I just can't understand those people."

"We are all atheists, and we really don't understand why anyone would believe in a god that is neither here nor there."

A colleague next to me laughed and said, "It's mainly because of that huge Buddha statue that appeared in the East China Sea a while ago."

"That Buddha statue was enormous, taking up half the sky. It's said that people all over the Eastern Hemisphere could see it back then."

"Let alone those who are Buddhists, even I, who am not a Buddhist, am thinking of going to a temple to pray."

Dr. Ye's expression shifted, and he pondered, "The Buddha statue that appeared that day was indeed strange. Perhaps it was some kind of unknown physical phenomenon?"

"However, we don't have any firsthand information, so we can't conduct research on it. Let's leave it to the professionals."

Another colleague said helplessly, "Aren't these Buddhists usually quiet and don't cause trouble? Why are they making such a fuss lately?"

"These troublemakers are too dangerous. I reckon the higher-ups are going to crack down on them."

"Anything involving religious beliefs is troublesome. Anyway, it's none of our business, so why think so much about it? Dr. Ye, the photos have been corrected!"

"Okay, let me see."

Dr. Ye spoke slowly and deliberately.

The lunar orbiter has taken many photos, and the observatory has stored countless of them. Having seen so many, Dr. Ye is no longer surprised.

Dr. Ye looked at the corrected photo on the computer screen and immediately noticed something strange in the corner of the photo.

"Huh, what's this?"

Dr. Ye curiously zoomed in on the photo, and his other colleagues also came over to look.

next moment,

Everyone's eyes widened in shock, as they felt a chill creep up their spines and into their limbs.

Goosebumps rose on my skin, and the stimulation sent a jolt of panic through my brain.

In the upper right corner of that photo, a magnificent palace appeared.

But this is a film of the moon. How could there be such man-made objects on the moon?

Could it have been built on top of the White Eagle?

Dr. Ye sat bolt upright and shouted, "Are there any other nearby photos? Quickly, put aside everything else and get those right away corrected!"

The task force knew something big was happening and immediately followed orders.

……

The capital city, the headquarters of the space agency—

"Chief Engineer Lu?"

After Dr. Yeh sent the suspicious photo to his superiors, he was asked to come to the space agency from the observatory.

What Dr. Ye didn't expect was that he was accompanied by Chief Engineer Lu, the chief engineer of the lunar exploration project.

Dr. Ye greatly admires this chief engineer who is only in his forties, and he is the role model for him to strive for; he is like an idol to him.

He quickly stepped forward and said excitedly, "Chief Engineer Lu, hello! I am Ye Qi from the Image Processing and Application Team of the Lunar Exploration Project."

"Chief Engineer Lu, you have always been the role model I strive for. That photo was also uploaded by our group."

"Chief Engineer Lu, you're here, yet you still sent me to the space agency. Is it related to some classified matter?"

Chief Engineer Lu shook hands with Dr. Ye and said with a smile, "Hello, Dr. Ye, I've seen the photo."

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, nor is there any confidentiality agreement. It's just that I was called here inexplicably and don't know what happened."

Ye Qi was startled. Even Chief Engineer Lu didn't know?

Just as the two were talking, the office door suddenly opened.

Chief Engineer Lu and Ye Qi looked over and saw the top leader of the space agency walking in front, followed by two young men in their thirties.

Upon seeing this, both Chief Engineer Lu and Ye Qi felt a chill run down their spines, guessing that the two young men were the ones who truly wanted to see them.

A man in his thirties, who was at the head of the group, stepped forward and said with a friendly smile, "Chief Engineer Lu, Dr. Ye, hello both of you."

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Tseng Cheng from the 'Defense Crisis Management Bureau Headquarters'. It's a pleasure to meet you both."

Chief Engineer Lu and Dr. Ye exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Defense Crisis Management Bureau?

They had never even heard of this department.

Zeng Zheng then composed himself and said seriously, "Both of you are pillars of the nation and have signed various confidentiality agreements."

"Therefore, before I say what I'm about to say, please sign a confidentiality document."

Chief Engineer Lu and Dr. Ye were both taken aback, feeling a sense of absurdity as they thought of the mysterious palace that appeared in the lunar photograph.

Could that be an alien base?

Without asking any further questions, the two solemnly signed the confidentiality agreement and then looked expectantly at Zeng Zheng.

Zeng Zheng took a deep breath and explained succinctly, "Let's start this story from 1999..."

Dr. Ye raised an eyebrow, thinking of the 99 confidentiality agreement meme circulating online.

For a moment, he felt utterly absurd. Could that joke really be true?

After Zeng Zheng's explanation, Chief Engineer Lu and Dr. Ye finally understood what had happened in this world.

The two were dumbfounded and incredulous.

Spiritual energy revives; cultivators, reincarnated beings...

These kinds of news are truly chilling, especially for atheists and scientists; it's hard to believe.

Zeng Zheng smiled and said, "Actually, cultivating Tao can also be considered a kind of science. At least there are traces to follow, and it can be repeatedly tested."

"It's just that in the past, without spiritual energy, this science could not be verified. Now that spiritual energy has revived, it can be considered that a new discipline has been added to the world."

Chief Engineer Lu and Ye Qi were not old, and they quickly accepted this novelty.

Dr. Ye even excitedly asked, "Mr. Zeng, you are a disciple of a sect, so can I cultivate immortality?"

He's also read cultivation novels!

Zeng Zheng apologized, "I'm sorry, Dr. Ye, you don't have any talent for cultivation."

Ye Qi felt a pang of disappointment.

Besides wanting to master mysterious supernatural powers and spells, the main reason they cultivated immortality was because they heard from Zeng Zheng that cultivating immortality could truly lead to longevity!

While immortality may be impossible, significantly extending lifespan is certainly achievable.

Qin Shi Huang was right!

Chief Engineer Lu didn't dwell too much on the topic of cultivating immortality, because he also lacked the talent for cultivation.

Looking at the blurry photograph of the palace, Chief Engineer Lu asked solemnly, "Mr. Zeng, do you mean that there might be a reincarnated being in this palace?"

Zeng Zheng nodded vigorously: "Yes, based on the known intelligence and research results, the researchers unanimously believe that if they are reincarnations of powerful beings who had reached the Taiqing Realm in their previous lives, their reincarnation methods are different from others."

"These powerful beings are all reincarnations of their original selves, and strange phenomena occur during their reincarnations."

"For example, when the Empress was reincarnated, we found her coffin and tomb inside the Kunlun Mountains. My master was reincarnated and found in the void above a mountaintop."

"Combined with the experiences of other reincarnated individuals, it can be concluded that those who are reincarnated carrying external objects must be the most powerful and supreme beings!"

Taking a deep breath, Zeng Zheng said seriously, "Chief Engineer Lu, you are the chief engineer of the lunar exploration project. We have come to you this time because we need you to change the plan and launch the lunar probe here in a few days."

Such exploration work requires a lot of preparation in the early stages, and this sudden change in plans inevitably means that a lot of work has to be started again.

Despite the change in plans, Chief Engineer Lu wasn't angry. This wasn't just a task assigned by the country; as an individual, he had also developed a strong interest in this mysterious cultivation world.

"Mr. Zeng, are you in such a hurry because you're afraid other countries will beat you to it?"

Chief Engineer Lu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a low voice.

Zeng Zheng sighed softly: "We don't know if the White Eagle Kingdom has also discovered this palace on the moon."

"We hadn't paid attention to the space agency before, and our administration staff hadn't conducted any mental health checks on the space agency's personnel."

"If there are deeply entrenched foreign spies here, the intelligence may have already been passed on. This is a dereliction of duty on our part. Who would have thought that a person with great supernatural powers could be reincarnated directly to the moon?"

"Therefore, we must launch the probe as soon as possible, or even make contact with this reincarnated being as soon as possible."

Zeng Zheng's words were firm and powerful: "Such great supernatural beings are rare. If he or she is a great supernatural being from a reputable sect, we hope to invite him or her to Zhuxia to enhance Zhuxia's foundation and strength."

"And if the other party is a demonic cultivator, we can try to eliminate them as soon as possible."

In the past, the various states of China would not have dared to casually approach such a person with great supernatural powers.

However, now that the various states have an empress with whom they share extremely compatible interests, as well as cultivators from prestigious sects like the Primordial Great Luo Sect, they are no longer particularly afraid of the reincarnations of these great supernatural beings.

Chief Engineer Lu solemnly stated, "I will revise the plan as quickly as possible and will certainly not let the country down."

"Thank you for your help, Chief Engineer Lu."

Zeng Zheng bowed.

The workload here is enormous; Chief Engineer Lu probably won't be able to sleep for several more days.

He took out a pill and said, "This pill was made by our Yuanshi Daluo Sect using available materials. It can greatly refresh the mind and minimize the damage to the body caused by staying up late. Please accept it."

Chief Engineer Lu gladly accepted it.

Dr. Ye was extremely envious.

This pill may not be very effective, but it's a pill for cultivators, and he wants to try it!
