If the Moon has ever been a blessing to mankind, it seems to be its innate mission – to accompany the Earth, revolve around it, and remain unchanged for eternity.

Since 1969 and 1972, when Apollo sent 12 astronauts to the moon on six manned spacecraft, no man has ever landed on the moon.

After the end of the "Apollo Program" in 1972, the lunar exploration once cooled down. However, attracted by the abundant resources of the moon and the rapid development of space technology, since the late 90s of the 20th century, mankind has set its sights on the moon again.

In September 2003, Europe's first lunar probe, Wisdom 1, was successfully launched, and after completing its observation mission, it successfully hit the moon in September 2006.

In September 2007, the lunar exploration satellite "Moon Goddess" was launched. It depicts the world's first highly accurate topographic map of the Moon; It was found that there was a curved layered structure at the bottom of the lunar sea; It was found that there is a difference in gravity between the front and back sides of the lunar surface, etc.

In October 2007, the Huaxia Chang'e-1 satellite embarked on a journey to the moon and successfully hit the moon more than a year later.

In October 2008, the Azerbaijan-1 lunar probe was launched, which used various instruments to collect data on the geographical structure, chemical composition and mineral deposits of the moon, and collected lunar geographic data to draw a high-precision three-dimensional map of the moon.

In addition, in July 2008, the United States, Argentina, Bangzi, Japan, Canada, Britain, France, Germany and Italy signed a joint lunar exploration agreement, and jointly launched a lunar exploration activity called the "International Lunar Network", planning to gradually establish several scientific stations on the moon. Russia, a major space power, has also drawn up its own lunar exploration plan.

In November, the mountainous area is easier to walk, there is no mud after rain, no slippery after snow, and the walk is not slow.

The old revolutionary base area with Mengshan Mountain and Yishui as the regional symbol is often called Yimeng Mountain, which has been a place where celebrities have come out since ancient times, and there are Zengzi, Zhuge Liang and Wang Xizhi who have written brilliant here, and there are older generations of revolutionary martyrs who have left relics on this land.

As a cycling enthusiast, Nie Peng has won the domestic college bicycle mountaineering invitational competition for many times, but unlike most riding friends, he prefers to ride alone than racing events, riding country roads, to feel the curling smoke, riding seaside roads, to feel the waves and sun, riding the warm winter sun and riding the summer breeze, and likes to feel the purest spring snow and storms.

When you are tired of riding, you can store your car, walk to the location where you can, set up camp, and then go home.

It would be even more perfect if you could find bonsai roots, landscape stones or something along the way and bring them back to your father.

In the winding valley, Nie Peng held his trekking poles, and while walking, he thought about the Yimeng Mountain humanities atlas that he had read a few days ago, and compared with the long mountain area in front of him, he suddenly felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Mountains are connected to mountains, trees are connected to trees, although tourism has developed vigorously in recent years, but even if a large amount of capital is evenly distributed into this mountainous area, there are still too few scenic spots for people to come up with, and the path under the feet of this forest ranger and traveler is not known how long to usher in a considerable crowd.

Turning the corner and pushing aside the bushes that blocked his view, Nie Peng reluctantly found that the road ahead had been blocked by stones rolling down from the mountain.

Especially this kind of landslide, fortunately, there is not much rain now, and the landslide area will not be too large.

If it was raining when he entered the mountain at this time, except for running to the ridge and sitting alone, Nie Peng really couldn't think of any way to avoid the landslide.

Woohoo, this trip is wasted.

Just as he was about to retreat, he suddenly noticed a bright light shining on the bare mountain after the gravel sliding.

Looking at the road ahead that was closed by rolling stones and could not move forward, and then looking at the glowing point that was not very far away, Nie Peng decided to climb up and try his luck.

Climb all the way up, not to mention the difficulty, the more you climb, the clearer you see, the place where the flash just came out is clearly a small hole, a washboard-sized stone protrudes above, blocking the falling earth, like the entrance to the original mine, leaving a hole the size of a basketball.

That's where the flash comes from.

Almost to the position of the entrance of the cave, in order to stand firmly, dig out two footholds, step on the trekking pole at the entrance of the cave a few times, see no snakes, insects, rats and ants and other animals run out, only tentatively look at the entrance of the cave, only a glance, I feel that the blood of the whole body seems to be drawn out of the body, a spasm from the surface and inside the whole body.

A crystal skull.

This skull was placed on a curved plate of unknown material, the color was black, like the Danshu iron scroll seen on TV, and I reached in with a trekking pole and knocked it, and found that there was no mechanism, and the bronze plate was also movable, and it was not fixed at the bottom of the hole, so I stretched out my trekking pole, hooked the bronze plate with the tail end, and little by little, carefully pulled the bronze plate and skull out of the hole.

He did not touch it directly with his hands after hooking it out, and his habit of often working outside made him maintain a considerable degree of caution, especially in the face of such a miraculous object. Who knows if this thing is the same thing as the doom skull in Native American culture.

It is said that the person who has been in contact with the skull for a long time is either crazy or stupid, and when he saw it at the time, he just laughed it off, and now this is really in front of him, how to calm him down.

Nie Peng took out his mobile phone, and after approaching the skull, he found that the signal strength had not changed much, and he relaxed a little, and dialed a customer service number on the phone casually, and after getting close to the skull, he found that the call was still clear, and he heard the soft voice of the customer's little sister on the other end of the phone clearly coming out of the earpiece, and only then did he dare to touch this strange object with his hand.

The tray is cold to the touch, no different from ordinary metal plates, about the size of A4 paper, and the grooves like circuit boards are undulating all over the panel, and the edge of the tenon structure is clear, so you can see that this should be part of a precision part. It's just that the crystal skeleton on it looks so out of place. However, the two objects fit perfectly.

It's like an alternative mix of technology and magic.

"Good stuff!" Nie Peng flashed such a thought.

So I took off my backpack, carefully wrapped this object in a raincoat, packed it up the mountain, and rode my bicycle all the way home.

Nie Dad looked through reading glasses at Nie Peng, who put down his backpack and ran out with a bag, thinking about what rare things this little rabbit cub had dug up and came back, looking up at all kinds of rare objects placed at home, Nie Hongyuan continued to pick up his cultural relics album.

As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will make a hole, Nie Hongyuan has been dealing with cultural relics for half his life, and he thought that his son could be contaminated with some bookish gas like himself, and he didn't ask to open his mouth Tang Zong and Song Zu, let alone recite a historical chronology, but this child is an active master, and he can't be idle for a moment, and he is about to graduate from college in a blink of an eye. has practiced a good body, but he has never mentioned his girlfriend, which makes Nie Hongyuan very congested.

The private garage on the first floor is almost a workshop.

The walls are covered with all kinds of bicycle tools and modifications. Since Nie Peng started riding, there are fewer and fewer clutter in the garage, and there are more and more professional modification tools, and he even thought that one day, he could use these tools to process a car by himself.

Come to the garage, close the door, tidy up the workbench out of the space, carefully put the bronze crystal head on the table, because the garage door is sunny, and the window is shaded, so after the garage door is closed, the light will be darker, so screw the spotlight head, aim at the crystal skull, press the switch, ready to take a closer look.

When the light hit the skull, the whole room was filled with fantastic streamers, floating in the room like an aurora, the bright circle of light converged under the skull, gradually magnified, spread on the metal plate, and after flowing through the edge of the metal plate, it continued to spread on the table like water ripples, the speed became faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, it touched Nie Peng's hand holding the table.

rumble

He only felt as if he was bombarded by a white light, both in front of him and in his mind, as if the moment after waking up in the middle of the night, his thinking, logic, and consciousness were reset.

The energy like the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth swallowed him instantly, if someone stood outside the window and looked inside the window at this moment, he would definitely be shocked by the big teeth, and the person who was standing in front of the table just disappeared, and the light was like an old-fashioned magnesium light camera with more magnesium powder, and it was white in an instant, and it was calm in an instant.

And the skull, which had just released the aperture, lost its original luster, collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, collapsed, and turned into a handful of dust.

Nie Peng, who disappeared in the room, returned to his original position, looked at the table of powder in front of him, and sat on the ground weakly, the scene just now really made him feel thrilling fear and helplessness, as if the whole consciousness was withdrawn into a dark space without boundaries, all existence was out of his understanding, there was no time, no direction, and he couldn't even feel his own existence, only the energy that was full of darkness, raging, roaring, like a beast in ambush, choosing the opportunity to devour.

Nie Peng sat on the ground, gasping frantically, his heartbeat beating like a drumbeat beating his nerves.

The powdered crystal skulls and metal plates looked lifeless in the light of the spotlights, like cement powder on the table.

He didn't know what was going on in the space of more than 50 cubic meters, and he didn't know how his body, or consciousness, had changed.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, the world's observatories heading towards the moon to track and record lunar phenomena simultaneously recorded the highest intensity of lunar flash ever recorded.

If the accuracy of the recording equipment is high enough and the recording frequency is high enough, then the replay may reveal that in the center of the lunar glitter, there is a male human with obvious Chinese characteristics, with a funny posture and blank eyes.

Fortunately, due to atmospheric interference and the limitations of existing technology, no device can accurately capture this shocking moment.

Nie Peng got up from the ground, looked around the room, and found that the crystal skull that was originally on the table had turned into powder, and there was no other change, and after a period of regret, he had to pat the soil on his body and go upstairs pretending that nothing had happened.

After a while, it was already light and breezy to have dinner with my father and mother.

It's just that at this moment, the Huaxia National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Ouyang Baiyuan, the person in charge of the Chang'e project, has more reports on his desk.

"Stellar-scale flares detected in the still sea area of the lunar surface"
