Like the dreams of science fiction writers, a lunar outpost was once seen as what Apollo wanted to achieve when he rushed to the moon in the 60s of the 20th century. It's just that this goal becomes a kind of disillusionment in a hurry.

The Houston Space Center in the United States, the project leader of the Mendel program, Harvin, is sitting at the desk at the moment, brushing his few hairs with his hands, and the LCD computer screen in front of him is an extraordinarily clear time-lapse photo of the lunar surface.

(Internationally, the area when the flare reaches its maximum brightness is used as the main basis for the flare level, and the maximum brightness of the flare is qualitatively described.) According to the Hα monochromatic area of the flare, the optical flare is divided into five levels, which are represented by S, 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The addition of F, N, and B after the level indicates whether the maximum brightness of the optical flare in the Hα line is weak, ordinary, or strong, respectively. So the largest and brightest flare is 4B, and the smallest and darkest is SF. ）

In the corner of the log-colored office, there are two telephones side by side, one linen-colored phone looks fully functional, the LCD screen flashes the SCH logo, apparently the business phone of Space Center Houston, and the other crimson old-fashioned phone does not have any logo.

Harvin overlooked his head, his gaze wandering between the two phones, and the corners of his wrinkled eyes twitched twice from time to time, looking a little confused. Eventually, I picked up the flaxen-colored phone and dialed it.

"Good morning, Mr. Harvin, this is the Yuanwanggu Command Center, may I ask if you need anything?" The operator looked at the wall clock on the wall, and at 7 o'clock in the morning, this boss was really energetic.

"Good morning, help me check the ground observatories that are currently free, and if you want non-continuous observation missions, fax it to me, quickly." Harvin's tone was still low, but it seemed powerful and irresistible.

"Okay Mr. Harvin, I'll fax it to you later."

Harvin hung up the phone and muttered to himself: I hope it won't be half a beat slower this time.

At the same time, the Russian Federal Space Agency, the European Space Agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the Canadian National Space Agency, and the A3 Space Research Organization have all received calls from various astronomical institutions and astronomy enthusiasts.

And the initiator of the incident is sitting in front of the computer at the moment, searching for the source of the crystal skull, whether it is a forum or a post bar, none of the descriptions of various cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are reliable.

Think about it, as the totem culture of the Indians, it is just a mythical spiritual sustenance, if there is such a science fiction-like ability, then the eagle country eagle can still survive when he goes to the American continent? I had already let the Indians use lightning balls, shadow arrows, and some weird magic to blast them into slag. Is it their turn to issue a declaration of independence?

After searching for a long time and not finding valuable information, Nie Peng turned off the computer, a day of riding made him feel a little tired, especially these trivial information made his brain urgently need to calm down, maybe it should be washed and sleeped, and soon after, there was a steady breathing sound from the bed.

At night, Qi City is still relatively comfortable, a full moon hangs in the sky, and a faint cloud mist drifts past, half-covered and half-hidden. For ordinary people, there is no difference between the moon today and usual, the same brightness, the same roundness, setting and rising on time. Occasionally, someone thinks of the words of Thousands of Miles Gongchanjuan, and thinks of who is watching the moon with him thousands of miles away, and smiles happily and then what to do.

It's just 370,000 kilometers away, in a crater on the moon, someone is not as simple as laughing it off.

Confused, confused, confused, or confused

Nie Peng was in this state at the moment, looking at the basin surrounded by the huge cliff wall in front of him, the gray ground was scattered with fragments of rocks, as if he was like an ant that had fallen into a bowl, and the bottom of the bowl was covered with dust.

Most of the bottom of the gray pit is shadowed, and only about one-fifth of the cliff is exposed to the light, and Nie Peng is in the shadow, looking at the cliff in front of him, let alone four or five hundred meters away, the corners of his eyes keep twitching.

Where is this Nima, this is such a big pit, the starry sky above is so clear, and there is not a single cloud in the dark night sky.

Looking at the illuminated cliff in front of you, the worldview is constantly being destroyed. How could he be here when he had just fallen asleep?

He could move, but his whole body was like sitting on a roller coaster that was falling rapidly, the weightlessness made his muscles tense all over, and the sound of his heartbeat came from his chest, as if he was carrying a rabbit.

Nie Peng knew that he was in a state of weightlessness, the elevator suddenly fell, and he had this feeling when the roller coaster was diving, and in the case of being prepared, this feeling could be addictive, but in such a wide space of vision, all that was left for him was fear.

Either the ground under your feet is falling rapidly. Either they are not on earth.

The first possibility was quickly ruled out, steady light, without the slightest disturbance of air currents, and his position must have been an extremely stable, static environment.

And if he wasn't on Earth at the moment, where would he be?

The fear of weightlessness had already made him feel his legs tremble, and all he could control now was breathing and blinking, and the muscles in the rest of his body were contracting to resist the discomfort of weightlessness.

The vigorous breathing not only caused his chest to rise and fall rapidly, but also made Nie Peng's body sway slightly.

Gradually, his head began to move, elbows, and then knees, after returning from the weightless state, Nie Peng leaned down, supporting his knees with both hands, and he even felt as if he had been fished out of the water, and his whole body quickly began to secrete sweat.

Gott, vomit

Non-stop retching. The excessive tension made his stomach cramp constantly, but fortunately, the gastric juice did not take the opportunity to roll up, Nie Peng wiped his mouth weakly, and spit out a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

Because it was in the shadows, the cliff behind him blocked the light, so the saliva that flew out was not very clear, but the trajectory that kept rolling in the air and gradually flew away like a fish swimming in the water was still imprinted in Nie Peng's eyes, until about ten meters later, it suddenly shook violently as if it was boiling, and flew out of sight. I can't see clearly.

Nie Peng, whose breathing rhythm had slowed down, slowly stood up and looked around, he could clearly feel that he had become lighter in this world, lifting his legs and raising his hands, as if he was in the water, but without the resistance of the water, it was much smoother.

Nie Peng judged that it should be a place where gravity is obviously less than that of the earth, there is an atmosphere, and even the composition of the atmosphere is no different from the ground, but this is obviously different from the sky that can be seen on the earth, what is this place?

Looking at the cliff wall four or five stories high behind him, Nie Peng decided to climb up to take a look, although the cliff wall is close to vertical, it is not so difficult to complete compared to the current gravity.

Just do it, Nie Peng moved his hands and feet, and walked towards the cliff step by step, the soft dust under his feet stirred up from time to time, floating in the air, but when Nie Peng was far away more than ten meters away, the floating dust scattered in the air seemed to be pulled out of the skeleton and fell to the ground.

The result is a bizarre picture of a young man in pajamas crawling to the top of the cliff face with his hands and feet in front of a cliff, and the peeling dust forms a flying wall of dust behind him.

Between this piece of dust and him, a distance of more than ten meters was always maintained, and it kept collapsing and falling as he moved. In the end, it was covered on the ground, as if leaving the radius of ten or so meters, and it was another world.

Nie Peng complained as he crawled, this seemingly delicate dust smelled like gunpowder, and there were a lot of sharp stone flakes mixed in it, which really made him suffer a lot. Fortunately, there are more rock structures in the position where he climbs, which is convenient for borrowing, otherwise this thick earth wall will collapse and choke him to death if it can't crush him.

If there are four or five storey high rock walls on the earth for people to climb, it is basically impossible to climb without professional training and without enough borrowing points.

This is not like walking on the ground, it doesn't take many seconds to walk up the 20-meter road, in the process of climbing, relying on your body and limbs to fight against the earth's gravity, relying on hand and foot grasping, hanging to drive yourself to climb up, no strong body coordination and muscle explosiveness, endurance. That would be suicide.

Nie Peng's feeling is completely different now, this feeling of swimming forward with a wall under the water, makes him experience the feeling when he went diving at the beach last year. If it weren't for the sharp stone flakes stinging the hands and feet, the experience would have been really good.

5 meters, 3 meters, 1 meter

Finally, a hand reached out from the top of the rock face, and grasped the raised stone firmly and forcefully. The next moment, a pair of eyes slowly poked out from the edge.

The scope of the eye was all light, it was like an incomparably large scimitar shining with white light, and there were some jagged notches caused by darkness on the edge of the knife; It resembles a crescent-shaped beach when the black tide recedes, and a number of peaks, large and small, protrude from the edge of the darkness, exposed to the sun's rays.

The vast craters of the mountains, which were larger than any other mountain on earth, their peaks shining in the daytime, their shadows rough and their dark tones, and the gray irregular plains, ridges, hills, and small craters, all descended from a flame-like brilliance into a mysterious darkness.

Under the glare of daylight, the rocks, the deep valleys of the plains, and the rough outlines of the crater floors become gray and blurry in the gradually thick fog, and their illuminated white surfaces crumble into clumps of fragments, which crumble and shrink until they disappear.

The strong sunlight made Nie Peng have to squint his eyes, there is no atmospheric barrier here, the sunlight is like a sharp sword passing through, and at this moment, except for feeling a little dazzling, there is no scorching feeling.

Nie Peng slowly climbed up the cliff, ignoring the dust floating in the air, made a pergola with his hand on his forehead, and looked around. When he found a familiar silhouette in the dark void, he really understood where he was.

Moon.
