However, for now, their desire to become famous cannot be realized.

At least for a long period after the spacecraft successfully lands, it seems unlikely to happen.

Unless the government has gathered enough Transcendent data, achieved its goals, and settled everything.

Perhaps only then will their names be announced.

In the meantime, they cannot even share the joy of the successful spacecraft launch with their families.

This outcome is undoubtedly disappointing, somewhat resembling a rich man walking at night in fine clothes, unseen by others.

The time has come to noon.

What should have been a pleasant lunch time, however, everyone at the Space Center had no intention of eating.

All the researchers and operators stayed at their posts, monitoring every message sent back by the computer, afraid of missing even a single detail.

Everyone's nerves were highly tense; this was now the most critical moment.

This is not just the result of four months of hard work, but also concerns the future and glory of every space worker present.

"Beep... spacecraft landing successful..."

Above the command center, the green light on the screen lit up, and a long-awaited electronic notification sounded.

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent for a moment.

The next second, a burst of celebratory cheers erupted like a tidal wave.

All the staff at the Space Center stood up from their seats, excitedly celebrating this moment.

"We did it! We succeeded!!"

"Hahaha! God bless us! We've finally landed on the Moon again!"

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Thirteen people! That's thirteen people! We've sent thirteen people to the Moon! We've accomplished an unparalleled feat! This will be recorded in human history!!"

"We really succeeded! It's not a dream! It's real! It's not a dream! It's real!"

"Hahaha! I'm so happy, to witness it with my own eyes... oh, shit! Franco, you idiot, get down from the table, don't break the equipment!!"

"..."

Everyone inside the Space Center was ecstatic.

Their cheers echoed throughout the Space Center, even startling the soldiers tasked with security outside, who looked in curiously.

"Professor Houston, congratulations, the New Apollo program has been successful, your name will now be seen by all children in textbooks."

Lune also smiled at the command center.

Beside him was an elderly professor with white hair.

He was the chief executive of the New Apollo program, and Head of the Space Center, Helaster Houston.

"Haha, Matthews, you're also one of the key figures in this program, my success also means your success, and I am equally happy for you."

Professor Houston finally relaxed his previously tense expression.

He smiled at the Director of the Hurricane Bureau, feeling grateful for agreeing to his plan back then.

At the time, it was because of him that this seemingly crazy lunar proposal was put forward and implemented.

If not for the support of Director Lune, even if he wanted to, it would have been unlikely to convince the higher-ups to agree, given his influence.

The success of the New Apollo program can be attributed to a perfect combination of timing, geographical advantages, and harmony among people.

After watching over it for seven consecutive days and nights, New Apollo 1 finally completed the landing successfully.

This means that all efforts have succeeded, and they have finally set foot on the Moon's land once again.

Lune and Houston exchanged a few relaxed words, then tacitly fell silent simultaneously, both gazing at the large screen in front of them.

"Command center, I am the captain of this New Apollo 1 team, Tony Michelleit Ramsey, reporting the status to you now."

A handsome man in a black T-shirt appeared in front of the camera, holding a document, and said:

"Washington Time, 12:35, New Apollo 1 has successfully landed, coordinated location 237.47; 126.54, deviation from the estimated location is no more than 1.5 miles..."

"Our spacecraft currently has a total of 13 crew members, all in good health, no signs of environmental rejection, no Archaeternal Syndrome, all personnel are in normal status, ready for orders at any time..."

"Food remaining at 2250KG, water resources at 13500KG, energy system of the spacecraft is at 745GJ remaining, oxygen resources are sufficient, electronic systems are functioning normally, control terminals are clear and unobstructed..."

"Upon inspection, abnormal blockage was observed in the third vent on the left side of the bridge, and engineer Swaro has been dispatched for repairs, preliminary estimate is a foreign object is lodged..."

"Apart from this, the spacecraft is in good condition, with no other risks, for the command to be informed..."

"..."

After finishing his report, Tony closed the report in his hand, then spoke to the camera:

"New Apollo 1 has completed all status reporting, standing by, awaiting further instructions from the command."

Hearing this, Houston and Lune exchanged a glance, the latter taking two steps forward and saying to Tony on the other side:

"Well done, you've done a great job. The 'New Apollo Program' has been successfully completed, please proceed to execute the 'Longinus Program', commence moon landing, deploy the base, and start collecting target information, and carry out real-time image transmission, we need to be aware of your activities."

Tony nodded solemnly.

Immediately, the screen split into two.

One side still showed the status inside the New Apollo 1 spacecraft, while the other side displayed the cosmic scene outside the spacecraft.

"It's beautiful... larger than we imagined..."

Lune was somewhat entranced by the new scene appearing.

Outside the spacecraft, on the desolate lunar surface, a giant Long Spear was slanting into the earth, appearing to pierce through the heavens from this angle.

This is their target for this mission, the Longinus' Spear embedded in the far side of the Moon.

"This is probably the closest we've ever been to it... it's truly stunning... hard to imagine who left such a weapon there? Could there really be a God?"

Professor Houston was also captivated by the Long Spear.

All the researchers present were mesmerized by the scene before them, rendering the entire command center silent.

"Ahem... well, the New Apollo Team has already started their preparations. They need some time to complete the lunar landing and base deployment. Take advantage of this break to go eat in shifts, and if anyone has personal hygiene needs, solve them promptly!"

Professor Houston quickly came to his senses and issued new instructions to his subordinates.

Hearing this, everyone gradually left their seats, as hunger only slowly made its way to them.

Watching them leave with expressions of excitement, Lune also felt gratified.

Getting to this point was entirely due to everyone's collective efforts.

Each one present was a top expert in the field of aerospace engineering, and outside, they would be industry giants capable of causing a stir.

But here they are now, all willing to join and follow his and Houston's directives, all for everything that's before them.

"Soon... soon... the mystery of the far side of the Moon, we believe we can solve it soon enough... if we can master that mystery, then we won't have to worry about the monster threats anymore..."

Lune appeared contemplative.

His eyes were fixed on the massive Long Spear, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

PS: The New Year is soon upon us, everyone traveling should pay attention to safety, and return home safe and sound for Spring Festival.
