Chapter 21: The Secret of Lop Nur

"It was 1980, when I was still working in Gansu, when I received a secret order from the central government to carry out a secret mission in Lop Nur, along with my colleague Hu Guangyao at MSS at the time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWe embarked on a secret train to Xinjiang together, and I later learned that there were hundreds of people on this special train, all of whom were on the same mission together. Go find someone. Little did I know at the time that our mission was to find someone. Before coming to Xinjiang, I had heard countless rumors about Lop Nur, and the inaccessible Lop Nur was full of mystery, and it was known as the forbidden area of life.

In July 1972, NASA's Earth Resources Satellite took a photo of Lop Nur, which resembles one of the ears of a human being. There are not only ear wheels, ear holes, but even earlobes. This makes Lop Nur even more mysterious.

We're here not so much looking for a person as we are looking for something you've probably heard of. This is the Pisces jade pendant. Guangyao and I are both from the Intelligence Bureau, so we naturally know more than others.

Why is it called Pisces Jade Pendant? Not because of its appearance, but because when researchers first discovered its supernatural function in the laboratory, it was when they were experimenting with a fish, and the jade pendant suddenly activated, and an identical fish was copied. At that time, this incident shocked the central government. Not only fish were copied, but people were copied. Between 1956 and 1960, a large number of mirrors appeared in Xinjiang, and both troops and civilians were copied. In the 50s and 60s, there were often anomalies in Lop Nur, and there were often eyewitnesses who found that there was no way to explain the alien life with earth science, and as the influence became larger, we began to intervene, and finally clashed with some aliens due to a lack of understanding between them. Some of the vehicles and modes of action of those aliens are not at all understandable to humans on Earth, indicating that Lop Nur itself is a mysterious existence. Later, the central government chose to conduct a nuclear test in Lop Nur, after which these people disappeared without a trace.

Later, in the 80s, Pengamu led an expedition into Lop Nur, with a Pisces jade pendant that uncovered the secrets of the mirror man, and they did a very thorough preliminary work. But in the end, there was an accident, the expedition team was seriously short of water at that time, and the expedition team asked the troops for help and asked for water after the troops also agreed, but Peng Jiamu still insisted on going out to find water alone, and did not say hello to any team members, just left a note in the car "I went east to find a well", and walked into the vast desert alone.

After a few hours, the team saw that Peng Jiamu had not returned, and feared that something would happen to him, so they hurriedly drove along his footprints along the way to look for it, but they did not find the place where the footprints finally disappeared. Our mission is to find Pengamu, to see people alive and dead to see corpses.

After arriving in Xinjiang, we were divided into several detachments and began to prepare to enter Lop Nur. When he got there, he learned that the central government had dispatched thousands of people to look for him. At that time, there were few clues left, and the terrain of Lop Nur was very complex and the environment was also very harsh, so it was very difficult to search. Several of our team members were experts in physics and biology at that time, especially Guangyao, who had a high degree of attainment in physics, he was a few years older than me, and he took care of me like a big brother at that time, and the night before we entered Lop Nur to search, he suddenly came to my dormitory.

His expression was very heavy at that time, and he said to me, Luo Feng, we must not be able to find Peng Jiamu anymore. I said, Brother Yao, how do you know? He took out a manuscript, at that time, just after a special period, the manuscript was very sensitive, I hesitated a little and did not dare to take it. At that time, I was still young and in the prime of life, and although I was engaged in intelligence work, my ideological consciousness was still very high. Guangyao said, you see, this is an excerpt I wrote about the situation of Lop Nur before I came, Luo Feng, Lop Nur is unusual. And the people who died in the explosion of that nuclear bomb back then were not mirror people, I suspect, they came from another dimension...... I was taken aback when I heard him say that. I know he was a cautious man, but these words were just nonsense at the time, and no one would believe them at all.

He was surprised to see me and continued. Luo Feng, I have always felt that you are the smartest person in the bureau, and these conclusions are not something I imagined out of thin air. Maybe one day it will confirm my idea, but ...... Hey, I probably won't be believed...... There may be conclusions later...... Forget it, you'd better rest early. After saying that, he hurried away.

At the time, as much as Guangyao's words surprised me, I thought that many things might still belong to his inferences, and there was no full evidence, because neither he nor I had actually seen Pisces Jade and those mirror people. What the authorities proposed at the time was that those people were infected with an unknown virus. And the vector of this virus is a plant, so Peng Jiamu took the Pisces jade pendant into Lop Nur to collect this plant. But unexpectedly, Pisces Jade Pei and Pengamu disappeared together.

The next day, we entered Lop Nur. The harsh environment and harsh weather in Lop Nur brought various challenges to the search work. Many scientists are unable to adapt due to physical reasons and leave early. And Guangyao and I went all the way to Lop Nur.

Wind and sand, lack of water, heavy clothes. We're going hard. The seven of us walked together slowly and hard. Everyone is very careful, because if there is a mistake, everyone may die.

On our third day in Lop Nur, something strange happened. First of all, everyone's compass failed, which was an extremely serious challenge for our search, and at first glance it looked like Lop Nur was a saline land, and it was impossible to discern the direction with the naked eye. At that time, it was getting dark, and some people in the team said that it seemed that the wind and sand were coming. There is saline land everywhere, there is no place to hide, and everyone is a little restless. At this time, I saw that Guangyao seemed to have discovered something. I followed him on. When he saw me, he said to me excitedly, Luo Feng, this may be the center, you see, the compass is completely useless here, which means that the magnetic field here is very strong. It's a pity that I don't have a Pisces jade pendant, otherwise, I would have allowed you to witness a miracle.

Brother Yao, the wind and sand are coming, let's go, there is no place to hide here, let's get out of here first.

I pulled the light and pulled back. At this time, the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, and we can't open our eyes a little bit. Everyone pulled the camels and walked forward. That's when I noticed that we had one more person on our team. When we set off, there were 12 people, but I found that there was an extra one in the group, thirteen people. Because the wind and sand were so strong, I could barely speak. He was there for us and followed us unhurriedly. I couldn't see his face clearly, he was dressed in the same clothes as ours, and if you weren't careful, you wouldn't be able to recognize him.

Because I was the captain of our detachment, I kept an eye on each of them, and I was responsible for bringing them all back safely. So noticed him. To be honest, I was very scared that there would suddenly be one more person next to us in this place of death, but I didn't dare to speak up at the time, because I was afraid that if I made a statement, it would cause panic among everyone. At least, I haven't found out his motives. At first, I wondered if I was hallucinating, because there have been examples abroad where people imagine that there is someone around them who can help them when they are desperately afraid of needing help, and this hallucination is transmitted to their companions through brain waves, causing them to have the same hallucinations. So I didn't dare to say anything until I saw his face. ā€
