Chapter 821 Jinghai (Four K)

Hanxi City, Guangming District, high-rise residential buildings.

A middle-aged man named Sun Liancheng stood on the balcony, humming a song and adjusting the astronomical telescope and planetary camera.

He is a former leader of Guangming District. He was disheartened due to his unsatisfactory official career and was idle at home.

My usual hobby is studying astronomy. I often take the children in the children's palace to see the stars. Occasionally I take some celestial photos myself and upload them to forums for astronomy enthusiasts. I live a Buddhist and leisurely life.

Today, he is going to take pictures of the moon.

Previously, the mirage broke through the clouds, left the earth's orbit, crossed the vacuum, and landed in the center of the Sea of ​​Tranquility (lunar basin, 1,700 meters below the moon's surface) on the moon. It began to spit out gray-white mist, causing the mist to form a complex complex of ancient oriental-style buildings.

A human girl-like life form, hidden under the thick fog.

Professionals from various regional aerospace bureaus have made countless efforts to try to detect mirages under the clouds or directly contact them.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to see through the clouds using various scientific instruments.

Whether it is an ultraviolet/visible light camera, a near-infrared CCD camera, a laser altimeter, a high-resolution camera or a charged particle telescope, a gamma ray spectrometer, a magnetometer, a neutron spectrometer,

When sweeping through a vast cloud and mist comparable to a meteor crater, no data feedback could be obtained. It was like encountering an information black hole.

For reasons of earth safety (lunar tidal force is related to marine ecology) and stability of public opinion, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has accelerated the lunar exploration project and will launch the lander carrying scientific instruments and communication instruments toward the northeast of the moon and land on Jinghaiyun. Palace edge.

Finally, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the lander sent back some important messages after entering Jinghaiyun Palace, but soon lost contact with the dedicated relay communication satellite outside the earth's orbit and the surface command center.

The originally set program of "automatically leaving Jinghaiyun Palace after losing contact" seems to have failed.

As for the content of the important message, it is probably that Jinghaiyun Palace has no entity, the energy fluctuations are very stable, and there is no serious threat to human beings for the time being. Please rest assured.

Although the aerospace departments in various regions have unanimously agreed to confirm the situation of Jinghaiyungong and Mirage as soon as possible, landing on the moon is not as simple as going out to buy groceries, even with strong financial support and all the various materials brought back from the killing game. novel technology,

The lunar landing and manned landing projects still have to be advanced slowly and cannot be implemented immediately.

This has also set off a small-scale astronomy craze in various places. The clouds in the Tranquility Crater are not stationary, but are changing all the time. Sometimes through the thin clouds, you can see the same thing happening below. The Jinghai Cloud Palace complex has undergone changes.

Astronomy enthusiasts take photos of the moon every day and upload them to online platforms to record the appearance of the buildings.

"I wonder what kind of photos I can take today..."

Sun Liancheng murmured to himself and slowly adjusted the height of the tripod.

The balcony door opened behind him, and Sun Liancheng's son Sun Pengmiao, who was still in junior high school, came over with two cups of hot coffee and handed one cup to his father.

Under the influence of Sun Liancheng, Sun Pengmiao also developed a strong interest in astronomy since he was a child. He won the second prize in the Hanxi Youth Astronomy Science Competition, and his celestial photos have appeared on magazine covers many times.

In the real world, Sun Pengmiao has excellent academic performance, is sensible and obedient, but has a relatively withdrawn personality and does not have many friends. He usually likes to study computers, astronomy, mathematics and so on.

In addition to ordinary life, Sun Pengmiao also has two other identities-a hacker and a player.

To describe it more accurately, he is probably ranked No. 1 in the personal combat power rankings, [Asynchronous Call·LAN], and the fifth position among Syndicate Disciples.

Compared with the image of a weak boy with a pale face and a thin body when he played the role of LAN,

Sun Pengmiao in the real world is undoubtedly much more normal.

He watched his father adjust the camera and took a slow sip of coffee. "Dad, my scholarship for this semester will come out soon. Then I will add some New Year red envelopes and change it to a big black one. I have been using this little black one for several years." ."

Xiaohei refers to the Xingda bkp150750 telescope, and Dahei refers to its large-diameter high-end version.

"You can keep the scholarship for yourself."

Sun Liancheng said casually: "Dad, you don't need to buy it. When there is a discount, I will buy a large-caliber apo..."

I didn’t see you buy it during the last discount?

LAN cursed in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.

"By the way, the final exam is coming soon, so you probably can't get up secretly at night to play games."

Sun Liancheng slapped his arm to drive away the mosquitoes on his hand.

He put his head close to the planetary camera and murmured: "There is a direct promotion class in the High School Affiliated to Normal University, and the teachers there are very strong. You will take the high school entrance examination next year, so you may not be able to slack off. It is best to get into the direct promotion class, and the learning atmosphere will be better. , and also tell your mother to stop talking about me taking you around and having fun."

Hey, hey, then you asked me to get up in the middle of the night to take pictures of the moon with you?

Leaning on the balcony, LAN's eyes twitched. He slowly drank coffee. With a thought, the mosquitoes wandering around this residential building seemed to have sensed something and flew away naturally.

"Well..."

Sun Liancheng, who was completely immersed in astronomical photography, completely ignored everything outside. He looked at the Jinghaiyun Palace that gradually became clearer in the lens, and sighed with emotion.

The universe is vast and time and space are infinite. Compared with the ancient nebula, human beings are nothing, and those indulging in intrigues and intrigues encountered on the career path are nothing. They are just ant dust...

LAN on the side was staring blankly at a small spider web under the eaves of the balcony, a little lost in thought.

In the last video game script world where time flowed extremely fast, he had forgotten all his memories and spent sixteen years, even longer than "Sun Pengmiao".

If that period of life is counted as age, he would be in his thirties now...

Snapped.

There was the sound of chair legs scraping the ground beside him. LAN turned around and saw Sun Liancheng standing up suddenly. His eyes were still leaning on the planetary camera, but his face was full of shock and disbelief.

"This this..."

LAN frowned, a very weak light lit up in the depths of his eyes, and his five senses suddenly amplified.

His gaze swept across the sky, his vision strengthened dozens of times, and he instantly saw clearly the source of Sun Liancheng's consternation - the vast sky, above the moon, the Jinghai Cloud Palace was slowly disintegrating.

A giant dragon head made of clouds and mist sticks out from the center of the Cloud Palace, silently staring in the direction of the earth.

"That's a dragon..."

Sun Liancheng's words stopped abruptly. His consciousness was affected by the spiritual power released by LAN. His pupils expanded unconsciously, and his shocked expression returned to calm. He stood up silently as if sleepwalking, turned and walked into the bedroom, and fell asleep next to his wife.

LAN did not look back and continued to stare at the moon. His expanded senses told him that his father had returned to the bedroom. The whole house was filled with the mental barrier released by LAN.

The strength of the mirage dragon on the moon is unfathomable and immeasurable. It is dangerous for mortals just to stare at this level of legendary life.

How long has it been? The mirage has been silent...

[The teacher asked me to tell everyone to land in the square. 】

In the friend system, a message notification was sent from [Out of Control]

LAN took a deep breath, [What's wrong? Something to do with mirage? 】

[I am only responsible for conveying it. 】

Out of Control replied.

LAN pursed his lips slightly and glanced at his parents who were sleeping soundly in the bedroom. His figure did not disappear.

————

At this moment, there are not only astronomy enthusiasts like Sun Liancheng who are observing the lunar surface.

Observation stations set up by various national aerospace agencies in various places automatically uploaded abnormality information to the extraordinary affairs management agency. Within ten minutes, the information was reported layer by layer, and countless phone calls were made.

The ultra-high-resolution photo of the Dragon Head of Jinghaiyun Palace, sent back by the LRO Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, appeared on the desktops of high-level officials of extraordinary affairs management agencies everywhere.

On the corridor walls of the Secret Service Headquarters building, the early warning lights lit up in red, symbolizing the highest level of danger. Employees wearing Special Service uniforms rushed through the corridors and returned to their respective jobs.

call--

A breeze blew through the corridor until it reached the door of a dormitory on the upper floor of the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters building.

The wind suddenly stopped, and Zhu Xuemin's figure slipped out of the wind.

He held a stack of newly printed photos of the moon in his hand, took a deep breath, and knocked on the wooden door of the dormitory.

"Enter."

The calm voice did not come from inside the door, but rang directly in my ears.

Zhu Xuemin took a deep breath and put his hand on the door handle.

Click.

The door opened in response, but it was not an ordinary dormitory room, but a vast scene on the top of a mountain.

The lush dense forest, misty clouds and mist, the soft soil under your feet, the clear chirping of birds in your ears, and the moisture-laden forest air you breathe in all remind you that this is not an illusion.

At the top of the mountain, there is a simple octagonal viewing pavilion. On the stone table in the pavilion are a guzheng and an incense burner.

A figure in a white dress stood behind the stone table, looking at the mountain scenery in the distance.

Zhu Xuemin walked up the stone steps towards the viewing pavilion, not daring to look directly at the figure in the white dress, wondering in his mind how to speak.

The relationship between the other party and the Contemporary Abnormal Society is too complicated. Should he call him Senior Sister? Or should I call him Master? Master?

"That dragon is fine."

The figure in the white dress, or Su Ni Sheng, answered Zhu Xuemin's question before he spoke, "She is just being vigilant."

"What are you wary of?"

Zhu Xuemin asked subconsciously, and immediately realized his tone, and hurriedly added, "Master."

Su Nisheng didn't look back and said calmly: "Something is trying to break through the wall."

"wall?"

Zhu Xuemin fell into doubt again, but in the next moment, Su Nisheng's figure had disappeared from the place, leaving only a breeze, disturbing the white smoke rising from the incense burner.

————

Two hundred and one billion kilometers away from the earth, there is no deep space where humans have set foot.

A door appeared in the void without any warning.

The door appears to be wooden, with a pink surface, and the door handle is made of round metal and looks ordinary.

The door handle turned slowly. If this was not in a vacuum, there would be a clicking sound of turning the door handle.

The door was pushed open from the inside,

A round spacesuit, more than one meter tall, walked out of the door - the door was also shining with bright starlight, but judging from the starlight distribution, it definitely did not belong to the star field where the solar system was located.

There is a light on inside the mask of the space suit, and with the help of the light, you can see a penguin-like creature inside, with blue feathers on its back, white feathers on its front, a long and narrow beak, and a red and white checkered tie under its neck.

"..."

The penguin floated in the void, looking left and right, looking around, and soon found his target in the vast starry sky.

A deep space detector manufactured in the 1970s that uses an isotope thermoelectric generator and has a mass of 815 kilograms.

Voyager 1.

This detector has seen the auroras on the far side of Jupiter and taken color photos of Saturn. Six billion kilometers away from the earth, it looked back and took a group photo of each planet in the solar system - which has hosted countless lives and births. The earth, a splendid civilization, which has been given various sacred meanings by humans, is just an inconspicuous light blue dot shrouded in the light of the sea of ​​stars.

Voyager 1's plasma subsystem stopped operating thirteen years ago, its planetary radio astronomy experiment came to a standstill twelve years ago, and its data tape drive, gyroscope, and various scientific instruments have also stopped operating due to lack of energy. .

If there are no accidents, in five years it will fall into an irreversible sleep because there is no power supply to any single instrument, and it will lose contact with humans forever.

Like a drifting bottle, it moves forward alone into the depths of the universe until it is picked up by the next "person".

The penguin named Akili floated silently in the void and pulled out a strange-looking pocket watch.

His calculations were accurate,

This door appears in front of Voyager 1's trajectory.

The numbers on the pocket watch jumped crazily, clearly showing the real-time distance between the two sides.

As time passed by, the probe that once carried humanity's hopes and ambitions continued to approach and gradually enlarged.

Finally, fifty meters to the side of the door, it quickly passed by.

No human being noticed that the pocket watch was filled with huge and gentle electric energy.

At the moment Voyager 1 passed by, electric current surged into the sleeping ancient astronomical detector.

The instruments were reactivated, data began to be transmitted, and all the man-made information carried by Voyager 1 was clearly projected on the mask of Akili's spacesuit.

Among them is the gold-plated copper record that records greetings in 55 human languages ​​and various types of music.

"This is a gift from a small, distant world. It contains our voices, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and feelings. We are trying to live through our time and enter Your time..."

Akili spoke in perfect English and softly recited the greetings from the record.

An imperceptible sadness flashed through the depths of his black eyes. He gently closed the pink wooden door and opened it again. The starry sky outside the door changed again, as if the door could freely travel through the planetary realm and land at any location.

Akili walked through the door and closed it.

————

Moon surface, tranquil sea, cloud palace.

The head of the mirage formed by the clouds silently stares into the deep sky.

Hanba, who was sitting cross-legged above the dragon's head, seemed to feel something and said lightly: "He has arrived."

After hearing the words, the Mirage Dragon's head slowly sank, carrying the Drought Demon, and landed below the clouds, swooping down quickly and getting close to the ground of the Sea of ​​Tranquility.

There, at some point, a pink door appeared, standing quietly on the lunar soil.

Aqili stood outside the door, looking up at the huge dragon head swooping over, without any panic in his expression.

boom!

The giant dragon formed by the solidification of clouds and mist landed on the surface, and the ground trembled and cracked.

The dragon's head hung slightly, and the Drought Demon slid to the ground along its scales, looking expressionlessly at the penguin in the space suit in front of him.

The muscles on the edge of Akili's beak twitched to form a smile, and he bowed exaggeratedly in his round spacesuit, "Hello, the most powerful person in the crystal wall system."

I travel from the virtual sea and come for peace. "

"..."

Hanbao crossed his arms in front of him, looked Aqili up and down, and said calmly: "I am not the strongest, you have found the wrong person."

"At this moment when other great beings have died or disappeared, or have fallen into a deep sleep and have not yet fully awakened, you are the strongest of the crystal wall."

Aqili smiled and said, "The battle for the door is about to begin. I want to know if you have chosen your representative.

If not, I can recommend a few for you..."

"She's already chosen."

The voice came from behind. A middle-aged man in a suit with a gentle expression and almost no features came walking on the moon soil. He was the professor of the Syndicate.

An expression of disgust appeared on Drought Demon's face, and Mirage Dragon narrowed its eyes unkindly, spitting out two long streams of mist from its nostrils.

The professor stopped at the right time and raised his hand helplessly to show that he was not hostile.

Aqili looked at the professor with a little surprise. He had a special rhythm about him, which was very similar to Aqili.

A native who has broken through the crystal wall system?

No, although the aura is very weak, this man in a suit should be another shuttler, but he has been on the earth for so long that he has lost most of his aura as a shuttler.

"The immortal species that are still awake on this planet have already chosen their representatives."

The professor smiled at Akili and said, "I would like to take the liberty of asking, is the last crystal wall contract still valid?"
