Experts continue to study meteorites, as astronomers of course they understand the scientific value and significance of meteorites, these visitors may come from asteroids, comets or other distant planets, containing a lot of information on the evolution of celestial bodies, and even some meteorites have found water and organic matter, which is evidence to explore the mysteries of the universe and the origin of life, but at the moment they have little way to check the test, at most they only use alcohol and sulfuric acid to test the Victorinox Terden structure on the surface of the meteorite, I was busy for a long time just to be worthy of Guo Lao's rescue, although Guo Lao was flattering and shameless, he was not a bad person, and he did have two brushes.

Facts have proved that Guo Lao's insight is even more brilliant than that of astronomers, and he is sure that the meteorite is hollow, and it may even be the aircraft of an extraterrestrial civilization, but it will never be the stuff of the American imperialists or the Soviet Union.

"If it is an artificial satellite, there will be at least some man-made traces on it, such as emblems, rivets, screws, thermal insulation, and the level of human science and technology, and this kind of seamless industrial product cannot be created." Guo Moruo said that he carefully observed the entire meteorite with a magnifying glass, and did not find any man-made clues, coupled with the knowledge and extraordinary judgment accumulated in his usual life, he made this conclusion.

"Maybe it's cast in one piece." One expert said, "Isn't our tank turret cast?" ”

"This form is clearly the result of wandering in the vastness of space for hundreds of millions of years." Poets are all emotional, Guo Moruo suddenly became interested, and his eyes were moist, "This magical meteorite flew from 100 million light years away, towards the Milky Way, towards the sun, towards the earth, towards our great leader, I dare to say, there must be a huge secret in it, which can lead us to achieve the great goal of communism, for example, a seed, planted can harvest 10,000 catties of grain, for example, a reagent, can turn stones into gold, and create a large amount of foreign exchange for our country." ”

The poet is crazy, others don't mind, anyway, he will leave after eating, the meteorite will be sent to the Ulanqab railway station, and then loaded into the train and transported back to Beijing to study it well, the canteen of the regiment headquarters killed a sheep, and the head of the regiment Wang took out the mare's milk wine that had been treasured for a long time, and entertained the distinguished guests from Beijing, this time it was really a distinguished guest, not a fake Soviet repair agent, the Second Department of the General Staff had already verified, and no people were sent over to perform any tasks.

At the lunch table, poets and scientists were chatting and feasting on the rare grassland mutton, but the head of the Wang regiment privately found the officer from Beijing and asked him when the war would start.

The officer of the Central Guard Bureau naturally knew the inside story, but it was inconvenient for him to say anything more to his colleagues in the frontier, only that the central government was still in diplomatic mediation, and he might not be able to fight, but he looked at Commander Wang with the wrong eyes, because he knew that these soldiers on the border defense would be the first to be the victims.

Head Wang took out two letters and said: "This is a letter from my home from Political Commissar Li, please ask the chief to bring it to Beijing to help me send it, I am afraid that if the fight starts, I will not have time to be busy with these personal matters." ”

He turned his head to look at the young soldiers, the young men did not know that the war was about to break out, they were still busy, even if there was only one day left in their lives, they would do their duty as soldiers and die on the border.

The officers of the Central Guard Bureau wrote letters, took a step back, solemnly saluted Commander Wang, and did not lower their arms for a long time.

Head Wang seemed to understand something, smiled bitterly, and returned the salute.

The banquet in the canteen was going on enthusiastically, and the smell of boiled mutton wafted into the cell, Liu Yan shrugged his nose and said: "The sheep was slaughtered, probably to entertain the four people who came in the morning, and the helicopter came probably to be experts from Beijing." ”

In the underground tunnel cell, Dang Aiguo was also muttering: "According to Lao Wang's diary, today should be the arrival of experts in the morning, the delivery of meteorites in the afternoon, and the escort of a company of cavalry, I don't know what to do with us." ”

Yu Hanchao said: "Boss, you won't shoot us, I heard that those who wear the opponent's military uniform are regarded as spies and will be shot." ”

Lei Meng said: "What nonsense, aren't we the People's Liberation Army." ”

Yu Hanchao said: "Of course Lao Tzu is not, Lao Tzu is an armed policeman, and you are also a veteran." ”

Dang Aiguo comforted them and said: "Don't make any noise, they won't mess around until we find out who we are." ”

The iron gate opened, and several soldiers walked in, shouting, "Get up, get up, and get on the road." ”

Yu Hanchao said with a sad face: "I still said no, let us go on the road." ”

The party was also stunned, and said cautiously: "Comrade, it is not very compliant to shoot him so arbitrarily without a trial." ”

The little soldier said disdainfully: "Look at your cowardice, who said that I would shoot you, I said that I was on the road to escort you to Ulanqab." ”

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Lei Meng also quietly stuffed the stinger hidden in his hand back into the hidden pocket on the cuff, they were not people waiting to be killed.

It was noon on September 12, 1969, the day before the outbreak of war, the position of the 3rd Independent Garrison Regiment was still calm, the grass was half a man deep, the wind was strong, the ears were whistling, and the song of the herdsmen was heard in the distance, which was the familiar Mongolian long tune and the melody of the horse-head fiddle.

In order to improve efficiency, Guo Lao suggested using a helicopter to transport the meteorite away, but the pilot said that it was too dangerous, the wind was strong, and such a large iron lump could not be fixed in the cabin, in case of rolling, it would be all over.

"Then transport it by truck, transport it to the nearest railway station, and coordinate the wagons to be transported back to Beijing." Guo Lao made a quick decision, although he is a literati, he has a very high level and has the power to make decisions.

It just so happened that there was a truck in the garrison regiment that was sent by the military sub-division to send supplies, which happened to be used to pull meteorites, and the regiment sent another truck to escort the prisoners, and a medium jeep for the experts to sit on, and in order to prevent the Soviet and Xiu spies from making trouble, another cavalry company that was not satisfied with the formation, in fact, more than 60 people, escorted the truck to Ulanqab.

The six Soviet spies were also brought out to prevent escape on the way, and the soldiers tied them up and put them in the truck compartment along with their "spy equipment", while the experts rode in jeeps, and the cavalrymen escorted them in front and back, left and right, and marched towards Ulanqab.

In the office room of the logistics office of the Third Regiment's permanent fortifications, assistant Wang Zhengang took out a notebook and wrote down what he saw and heard today:

September 12, 1969, fine

Beijing sent a helicopter to transport astronomical experts to inspect the meteorite, and the logistics department received it, with hand-grabbed mutton and mare's milk wine, and in the afternoon, the meteorite was transported away by a vehicle sent by the military sub-district, and our department sent a company of cavalry to escort it.

……

The wind was very strong, the truck was walking on the dirt road on the grassland, under the crushing of the horses' hooves and wheels, the dust and smoke were in the sky, and the cavalry covered their faces with their scarves, and suddenly Liu Yanzhi saw a familiar face, he touched the thunder around him, and said in a low voice: "Look over there, the third person, like who?" ”

Lei glanced at it for a while, shocked: "Damn! Isn't that a pillar! ”

The cavalryman's eyebrows and eyes did resemble pillars, and Liu Yanzhi asked Dang Aiguo and Yu Hanchao to look at it again, and they both nodded and said that they looked like it.

"Pillars!" Liu Yan shouted directly.

No one paid any attention to him, and the cavalryman continued on his way without raising his head.

"Hey, what about you, your surname." Liu Yanzhi continued to shout at him, "That little soldier with a black face." ”

The little soldier still ignored him, and Liu Yanzhi was bored and sat down stupidly.

"Maybe he looks alike, maybe by chance, he can be used as a template for artificial people." Dang Aiguo said, "Tomorrow the war will break out, and this group of soldiers will probably escort the meteorite into Beijing and survive." ”

"So what do we do? Can't wait? Lei Meng asked.

Seeing that they were talking unscrupulously, and daring to tease their comrades-in-arms, the escort soldiers couldn't help but pick up the semi-automatic, snowy bayonet and swayed: "Dog agent!" Don't speak, stop talking! ”

The "dog agents" died down, closed their eyes and rested, their bodies rising and falling with the bumps of the car.

……

The four-legged ones could not run on four wheels, and the endurance of the war horse was not very good, and even the Mongolian horses, which were known for their hardships and hard work, were not as good as the gasoline-powered trucks, and gradually escorted the cavalry behind, and the trucks continued to move forward, and finally arrived at the location of the Ulanqab Administration in the middle of the night, which was the city where they borrowed the horses.

In this era, the communications were very backward, coupled with the imminent panic of the war, the central government had withdrawn from Beijing, and Guo Lao could not contact the prime minister, so he could only temporarily assume the leadership responsibilities and send people to the railway station to find the wagons.

However, there were no trains passing through the Ulanqab railway station tonight, and there were no wagons for them to use, so they had to pull the team to the compound of the administrative office first, and the trucks were parked in the open air.

There was a lot of firewood and hay piled up in the storage room, and the members of the crossing group were still tied up and slumped on the hay pile, but fortunately their mouths were not gagged and they could still speak.

"Tomorrow morning, the war will break out, and the battle will be chaotic, and no one will care about us." Lei Meng lowered his voice and said, and outside the window was the figure of the sentry.

"Maybe people don't bother to interrogate and just pull us out and kill us." Liu Yan said straightly, "If you want to go, take advantage of tonight." ”

"Dawn is the sleepiest time for people, and I recommend doing it at that time." Lao Lin suggested.

Everyone turned their eyes to the party and patriotism, and he nodded: "That's it." ”

Guo arranged for the experts to live in the guest house of the administrative office, and he made long-distance phone calls in the commissioner's office, trying to contact Beijing, but the phone could not be reached at all, in the dead of night, the stars were brilliant outside, the trucks in the courtyard were parked quietly, the footsteps of the sentinels were so lonely, and the poet's poetry was aroused again.

In the middle of the night, the sentry on duty changed the guard, and there was only one sentry left next to the truck, who stood alone, the bayonet on his shoulder shining cold.

In the storage room, Liu Yanzhi broke the rope, this is not an ordinary rope, but a strong cowhide rope, the more he struggles, the tighter he is, he can actually be broken by him, the strength can be imagined, he helped others untie the rope, made a silent gesture, walked to the window, directly bent the iron mullions, and then drilled out, the sentry at the door fell asleep with the gun, was stunned by him with a hand knife, surrendered the gun, took the key to open the door, and the five people crept out.

Suddenly, an unbelievable scene appeared, the meteorite on the truck emitted a colorful light again, the faint colored light seemed to be real and illusory, and I saw the sentry standing guard slowly walking towards the truck, the silhouette was very long, he dropped his rifle and climbed into the compartment.

"It's a pillar." Liu Yan said in a low voice.

The others also saw that the sentry was the one who resembled the pillar.

In the commissioner's office on the second floor, Guo Lao, who had been tossing and turning all night, happened to walk to the window and saw this scene, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly took off his glasses and wiped them with a handkerchief and quickly put them back on.

The meteorite on the carriage slowly opened, yes, it opened a door, and there was a door hidden in the seamless meteorite shell.
