How many people on Earth have ever been to space? Before Su Xing went to space, this number was 1,002 and 22, and the annual increase would not exceed five.

America has not had a new space program in recent years, and it is always expected, estimated, and under discussion. In several other countries that have the ability to independently carry out outer space exploration, the woolly bear can only cut back on food and clothing, barely ensuring the existence of the astronaut team, and has not sent people to the sky for a long time. There is only one rabbit left, and he is still running in small steps to carry out his own space program.

And what happened on this day forever changed people's attitudes towards the universe beyond Earth.

It was 4:30 a.m. Yenching time, and it was still afternoon in America.

Hou Dashu, a cleaner cleaning up the road, is wearing a hard hat and cautiously walking under a row of pineapple trees. I don't know if the designers of this community had water in their brains when they made the plan, and they actually planted pineapple trees on both sides of this road. A few days ago, a security guard was smashed and almost lost his breath on the spot.

As soon as the property negotiated with the owners, well, they came up with a speechless solution: when it was ripe, it was taken off as a gift from the property to the owners. As for those of them who pass by frequently, what should they do? Wear a hard hat!

Hou Dashu scolded a few words in his heart, those guys who were inexplicable enough, straightened his helmet, walked under the tree with a broom, and walked into the green belt.

I don't know what moths have been making trouble here recently, and there are many insects of all kinds, and they are surprisingly large. Hou Dashu even saw a dozen hornets the size of two thumbs rumbling low over the bushes. That scene was simply incredible.

Even so, the property has done its best to clean up these uninvited guys, but wave after wave has come and gone, and it is endless.

Yesterday, when it was his turn to clean up the green belt, Hou Dashu had a little ominous premonition, and when he arrived here, he saw that it was really a lot of troublesome things.

Out of nowhere, a large swarm of black ants, a centimeter long, was surrounding a can that someone had thrown down in the green belt.

Around them are centipedes the length of two chopsticks and the thickness of an index finger, and a cockroach four fingers wide, a moth the size of a palm, and an earthworm like a small water pipe...... It's messy, and the back of Hou Dashu who is watching it is cold.

"Hey, Old Joe, come over and help, something is wrong here!" Even if he is just a cleaner and a part-time security guard, Hou Dashu also has a third-rate university diploma. Not to mention that anyone with a bit of a brain understands what it means to be a bug of this size. Hurriedly called the colleagues in the duty room to come for reinforcements.

"Damn, it can't be some biochemical pollution nuclear leak!"

All kinds of terrifying thoughts tossed and turned in his mind, one moment wondering if there was a leak in the pipeline of a chemical plant underground, another moment wondering if the haze in the capital had mutated again, and another moment wondering which biochemical beast in the research institute had escaped...... The more I think about it, the more outrageous it becomes, and I scare myself enough.

"Monkey, what are you yelling about," Qiao Fang, who was in the duty room, rubbed his eyes, startled by the screeching noise of the walkie-talkie.

"That's not right!" Hou Dashu whispered over the walkie-talkie, "I seem to have seen a python in our community!" As he spoke, he cautiously moved his steps backwards, his body as if he had been washed with water, sweating like rain.

A minute ago, the can on the ground moved slightly, and a large group of various insects around it immediately retreated in unison and quickly. Then, Hou Dashu saw something that broke his heart.

A snake's head, the size of a basin, poked out from under the floating soil in the green belt, and the snake's eyes were still closed, but its slender and forked tongue was sticking out, and it seemed that it was not awake yet.

He froze.

After waking up from the intense fear and confusion, Hou Dashu resisted the urge to run away, moved back little by little, and shouted nervously on the walkie-talkie at the same time.

"the trough monkey, did you drink too much yesterday, there will be a big python in our 110,000 square community?

"Whoever liars is a puppy!"

Just as he slowly retreated from the green belt and came to the pineapple tree on the sidewalk, there was a loud bang in his ears, but a pineapple fell from the sky and smashed on a garbage can.

Hou Dashu was stunned and watched the pineapple roll on the ground, then turned his head to look at a pair of big snakes with cold eyes flashing, and suddenly felt the urge to cry.

"Help! there's a python."

He crawled and crawled towards the duty room hundreds of meters away, where there were two electric batons, as well as two of his colleagues, the door of the duty room was made of aluminum alloy, which should be able to resist for a while. On top of that, there was a telephone and his cell phone in the duty room.

The miserable and sharp howl pierced the silent air in the early morning, and the man in the blue uniform ran wildly on the cement road, more than ten meters behind him, a fat python was following unhurriedly, and what was even more terrifying was that even though the man had run nearly a hundred meters, the tail of the python had not yet emerged from the pothole in the green belt.

He fell, and a banana peel thrown by an unknown guy slipped Hou Dashu. The fall was so hard that two front teeth were missing, and blood smeared the ground. But he couldn't care much, endured the pain between his arms and chest and abdomen, and wanted to turn over and get up, and continue to escape.

A stinking, icy wind swept across the sides of his cheeks, and a certain sensation made him understand that he couldn't run away. Less than a second after he had the idea, he was hit hard in the back, with a click, and at least three or five ribs were broken. Heavy pressure came from his back, and a long, cold, slippery slender thing roamed nimbly over his head and face.

Hou Dashu, who was already a little delirious, coughed miserably twice, was lifted up by a force, rolled twice, and fell on the cement pavement with his back facing the sky. The serpent's head rested on his chest again, and the serpent licked his skin back and forth with a loud voice, leaving scars that were hot and red.

He looked at the snake head that seemed to be a little bigger and opened its mouth, until it opened to a terrifying angle, falling head-on towards him, and the feeling of facing death was so terrible that he forgot to scream, and stopped struggling, just looking at the depths of the dark throat.

It's dawn.

Bright and warm light descended from the sky, igniting the entire sky into a pure white ocean. Under this light, whether it was the python that was about to devour or the Hou Dashu who was opening his eyes wide, they all fell into a speechless stupor.

"Damn... What is that..."Looking at the super-super-super-huge object slowly emerging from the white light in the sky, Hou Dashu could no longer care about the rapidly flowing warm current in his body and the gradually disappearing pain, and completely entered a complete chaos because he didn't know how to react.

At first, there were several long strips of silver-gray metal that reached an incredible length of three hundred kilometers and were released in a roughly zigzag shape, followed by huge blocks of bright red metal and zigzag lines of various shapes that shimmered with light blue brilliance, and finally, two polygonal alexandrites that could not be described by any kind of beauty broke through the pure white brilliance.

It was a face, a steel face with a strong mechanical style, full of majestic majesty.

At some point, the big snake had disappeared from him, and Hou Dashu lay on the ground, his eyes fixed on the huge mechanical face, his mouth wide open, and he didn't know what kind of exclamation he made.

Maybe it's a minute, maybe it's an hour, and when a few colleagues pulled him up from the ground, Hou Dashu was still staring up at the sky, where it was already a clear blue, what pure white light sea, what mechanical faces, all were gone.

"Monkey, monkey, are you okay!" Qiao Fang grabbed his collar and wanted to shake it a few times, but he was frightened by the blood stains on his face and the strange-smelling yellow-green liquid, so he could only shout loudly.

"Ah, old Joe, I seem to be seeing something terrible again..."

......

"The super-giant robotoid that appeared over the Earth in the early hours of this morning, with a length of more than 12,000 kilometers, directly across the Pacific Ocean in a way that does not conform to the laws of normal physics, its head is roughly located over the rabbit family Yanjing, and its tail is spreading to the central part of America. Here's a picture from our satellite. ”

A few slightly blurry color photographs were distributed.

"We can't explain why such a large object doesn't block the sunlight, and we can't explain how it exists. One thing is certain, though, it's not a phantom. ”

A photo is enlarged on a large screen.

"Here's a picture from Honolulu. The supermachine created a typhoon with its fingers in the sea seventy kilometers from Oahu. ”

In the photo, the metal column, which is tens of kilometers in diameter, is only separated from the sea surface, and the bright white light even illuminates the deep seabed.

In the next photo, the jet-black pillars of wind engulfing everything.

The middle-aged woman turned off the big screen, looked around, and said to everyone present in a heavy tone: "Seventeen low-orbit satellites have been crashed due to this thing, and the white light that appeared at the same time has caused a large number of special incidents. Therefore, the higher-level leaders decided to set up a new department to be responsible for this task. All of you here are the backbone elites in your original department, so please be sure not to live up to the expectations of your superiors!"

On the red banner behind her, the words "Special Operations and Emergency Response Center Inauguration Ceremony" seemed to flash an inexplicable light.
