Chapter Twenty-Four: Unknown Celestial Bodies
Comrade Liu and Qiu Tian looked at the satellite images, it was getting late, the vast mountains were dark, and they looked down on the situation on the ground. The signal on the tablet was moving extremely fast, and those creatures were crossing the meadow, Comrade Liu did not speak, and the two of them stepped up to catch up, and they were only three or four kilometers away from the red area on the tablet. Although the signal had already left the mountain and was crossing the meadow, the two of them were more cautious and did not dare to slack off, and spent the night climbing the mountain and trekking through the meadow. By about four o'clock in the morning, they finally reached the edge of the red zone.
In the night, a large mountain appears in front of it, majestic and majestic, the mountain is steep, the peaks are numerous, the vegetation is dense, and the mountains on both sides are endless. GPS tracking signals and red zones are in the middle of the mountains.
The creatures stayed in the mountain and didn't move.
Qiu Tian heard from the villagers when he was investigating in Huangjia Village, and the villagers said that this was a murderous place, and some villagers had had an accident here, so few people came here.
Comrade Liu looked at the satellite map and other materials, and the terrain here is complex and treacherous, the vegetation is dense, and through satellite reconnaissance, it is impossible to see clearly the situation in the mountains from the air, and he does not know what is inside the mountains.
The sky was already a little cloudy, and Comrade Liu was in no hurry to move forward. Comrade Liu used a very advanced instrument to scan the opposite mountainous area, then did some laboratory tests, and said: "Rest for a while, and set off immediately." ”
Qiu Tian understood what Comrade Liu meant, and had already arrived at his destination, and this red area must be very dangerous, and he would also find out the truth of the matter here.
Qiu Tian looked at the mountain in front of him and said, "When will the support team come?" ”
Comrade Liu shook his head and said: "The task of the support team of the National Security Bureau is only to garrison Huangjia Village and guard the captured creature, and they will not come here, their level is not enough." It will take some time for the team to be allowed here to arrive, and only the two of us can investigate for now. With a straight face, he said, "Remember, at all times you can only rely on yourself and do not wait for your support. Qiu Tian was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the people from the Northwest Provincial National Security Bureau were not high enough to come here.
As the sky dawns and the morning comes, the sun shines and the scenery of this mountain becomes clear, with its undulating, steep and treacherous slopes, tall and dense trees, and this is a primeval mountain forest that is rarely visited.
Although Qiu Tian didn't have a good rest for two days and two nights, he was extremely energetic at the moment. After Comrade Liu made a series of preparations, the two entered the lush mountains.
Since no one has come here all the year round, there is no mountain road here at all, the two of them carried their equipment on their backs and advanced along the steep hillside, and there were dense woods and grasses everywhere blocking the way. Qiu Tian held a gun and waited for it. When the two of them reached the top of the mountain, it was already afternoon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the hot wind was blowing in their faces.
Qiu Tian had been wearing a protective suit, a helmet, and heavy equipment on his back, and sweat was dripping from his body, and he looked down the cliff to see the dense vegetation.
Qiu Tian followed Comrade Liu over a steep mountain wall, and Qiu Tian thought to himself: What does the red area on this map represent? Comrade Liu has tested many times, but there are no signs of viruses and radiation here, and he has not seen any special places, nor has he seen anything special in the mountains, so what is Comrade Liu looking for? Although Comrade Liu has been tracking the signals, it seems that his purpose is not those creatures.
Qiu Tian thought to himself: Is Comrade Liu looking for the demon star that the villagers said fell from the sky? So what is it exactly?
Comrade Liu and Qiu Tian climbed down the mountain, and then walked forward, down the slope of the mountain, and they reached the back of the mountain, where the sunlight was blocked by the mountain, and there were deep ravines under the mountain, and the ravine was densely covered with tall and dense trees, and it was impossible to see the situation in the woods. Coupled with the shadow cast by the mountain, the light on the back side of the mountain is darker. Comrade Liu looked at the tablet, and the tracking signal stopped not far in front.
Qiu Tian whispered, "Comrade Liu, what are you looking for?" Could it be the demon star that the villagers said? ”
Seeing that he had already chased here, there was no longer any need to keep the secret of his actions, Comrade Liu had a gloomy face and said, "It's not a demon star, we are looking for an unknown celestial body." ”
Qiu Tian said in surprise: "Unknown celestial body? ”
Comrade Liu gestured to the tablet screen in his hand and said, "This red area is a calculated landing range. ”
Qiu Tian was very strange and said, "Is it a meteorite?" Meteorites or similar extraterrestrial objects often enter the atmosphere and fall to Earth, what's so special about that? ”
Comrade Liu said: "We still need to investigate what this celestial body is. Under normal circumstances, cosmic materials such as meteorites will burn up when they enter the atmosphere, and only a few remaining materials will fall to the earth. ”
Comrade Liu went on to say: "The security and astronomical departments of each country will have special departments responsible for this information and investigate extraterrestrial substances entering the national territory. ”
Qiu Tian listened carefully, he knew that several big countries in Europe and the United States had several such secret departments.
Comrade Liu said: "Because these cosmic substances are related to the development of science and technology and national security, we need to study them. However, most of the cosmic materials such as meteorites that pass through the atmosphere fall into uninhabited places and are difficult to find. He continued: "A month ago, the Northwest Provincial Observatory observed a meteorite entering the atmosphere, and some cities also saw meteors, astronomy enthusiasts notified the Observatory, at that time, according to the people's account and the observatory's observations, the meteorite was very ordinary, and it was very likely to burn up in the atmosphere, and the Northwest Provincial Observatory only recorded a little information, and the staff believed that even if the meteorite was not burned, the place where it fell was very remote and could not be found, so they no longer paid attention to this information." ”
Qiu Tian thought to himself: This is also normal, if every meteorite has to be investigated, I am afraid that astronomers will be tired to death, because the location where the meteorite fell is difficult to find.
Comrade Liu said: "A month later, the public security bureau of Huangshui City in northwest China received a report from Huangchang Township that villagers were missing. One is the case of the disappearance of a villager, and the other is a seemingly ordinary meteorite entering the atmosphere, and the two events seem to have little to do with each other. ”
Comrade Liu looked at Qiu Tian and said: "But we know what the two have in common: First, after this unknown celestial body passed through the atmosphere and fell to the ground, that is, the time when the villagers of Huangjia Village began to disappear (people began to disappear a month ago). 2. In terms of location, the scope of the celestial body crash site is based on the analysis of the information obtained from the recorded information of the observatory and the photos provided by astronomy enthusiasts, and the direction, angle, trajectory, speed and other factors of the celestial body entering the atmosphere are calculated, and the result is that the place where the celestial body fell is in the north of Huangjia Village, and the location is very close. Therefore, we suspect that the missing villagers of Huangjia Village may be related to a celestial body that fell to the ground. ”
Comrade Liu continued: "After this kind of incident occurs, it seriously involves national security, is a special incident, and no longer belongs to the work of the astronomical department, and needs to be handled by special personnel. I am a special person who has come to investigate this incident, and we want to find out whether the disappearance of the villagers in Huangjia Village has anything to do with the alien object that fell a month ago. ”
