Chapter 132: Beauty and Horror
The lunar landing rover piloted by Bell, after nearly an hour of meandering on the Cold Sea Plains, came to a halt after a violent braking.
After opening the car door and getting out of the car, Liu Yuan looked around and asked with a smile, "This is your new stronghold?" ”
"Sort of." Bell wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Damn, it's really old." It's only been a little bit since I've been driving for so long, and it's not going to work. ”
At this time, Lu An, who was spinning around and had weak legs, was sighing that it felt so good to be down-to-earth, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but slander.
With your driving state, no matter how young you are, you won't be able to stand it!
Looking at Lu Qiao, who was bending over and retching next to him, Lu An was even more convinced of his judgment.
"Huh? Aren't you all in this together? ”
When Lu An was pitying Lu Qiao, Bell's surprised voice suddenly sounded in his ears, he turned his head to look, and saw Liu Yuan standing beside Bell and nodding.
"Okay, I'll take a look, you guys wait here. If I'm not mistaken, there's a spacecraft that's going to fly to Mars in ten minutes, and if you can catch it, stuff this kid on. I said, "Why are you so kind-hearted all of a sudden?" ”
Bell muttered, ripped a two-wheeled land vehicle from the rear compartment of the lunar landing vehicle, stepped on, and hurried away.
After the retching Lu Qiao straightened up, Liu Yuan said lightly to him:
"Li Yi, remember your original mission. When you get to Mars, report back to me, and we'll go our separate ways, and we'll go our separate ways. ”
Liu Yuan said indifferently, while Lu Qiao still bowed his head and said, "Thank you." ”
"Don't thank me, it's not that I want to save you, if you want to thank him, thank him."
Liu Yuan pointed at Lu An.
"Thank you." Luqiao bowed again.
Lu An hugged him and said regretfully, "I'm sorry." ”
Luqiao smiled and shook his head.
After a few more minutes, Bell came back in a landing car with billowing smoke, and he stood on the car and shouted, "Come up, boy, and take you to Mars!" ”
Lu Qiao looked at Liu Yuan and Lu An, bowed again, ran over and got into the land car, hugged Bell with one hand, and then turned his head and waved continuously.
Liu Yuan looked at Lu Qiao who was saying goodbye indifferently, while Lu An raised his hand and waved goodbye to him.
When we meet, we will never see each other again.
After Lu Qiao disappeared into the smoke and dust, Lu An put down his hand, turned his face and asked Liu Yuan, "Uncle Liu, ...... this Bell?" ”
"He," Liu Yuan looked at the lunar landing rover beside them, smiled and pointed to a crater not far away, and said, "Let's go over there, I'll take you to see the beautiful scenery on the moon." ”
At this time, Bell's lunar landing rover was parked near the North Pole of the Moon in the Great Plains of the Cold Sea, and the Moon's Arctic Circle was a series of craters. Before the galactic calendar, it was a dense place of meteorite impacts, and most of these craters were craters, undulating like hills.
Bell's lunar landing rover was parked in a valley between two craters, and the shadows cast by the two craters were intertwined, just in time to obscure the lunar landing rover.
Liu Yuan took Lu An to the slightly higher crater north of the lunar landing vehicle, stood on top of the arc of the mountaintop, looked around, and even saw the arc of the distant horizon.
Lu An looked to the south, but unfortunately he was obscured by the Alpine valley and the higher Aristotelian crater, and he could not see the sea of rain.
I don't know what Chen Feiran and Champ are doing now, are they still in the "Second Fortress" now? Or have they gone their separate ways and been assigned to their respective fleets?
Looking around, the surrounding ups and downs are gray-white lunar craters, and only the cold sea plain reflects the light coldly, which is a little dazzling.
Where can such a view be called a beautiful view?
Lu An looked at Liu Yuan suspiciously, only to see Liu Yuan pointing upwards and motioning for Lu An to look up.
Lu An subconsciously looked up, there was only a gray sky directly above, and even because it was close to dusk, he could still see a little starlight.
The moon does not have a clear blue sky like the earth, but a somewhat pale blue sky; According to Lin Yonghuan, the Martian sky is slightly maroon blue. Of course, this is also due to the thinning of the ozone layer in the atmospheres of the two planets, but not entirely because of this.
When humans successfully maintained the atmosphere on the moon and Mars, they found that the colors of the skies on different planets were different, and the pale blue background was as if they were dyed the colors of their respective planets.
This phenomenon has naturally been studied by many scholars and experts, and may have a clear explanation; It's a pity that when they talked about it at the time, Lu An and Lin Yonghuan didn't know what the reason was. And at that time, Lu An never thought that he would leave his sister Anna one day, so he didn't care about the color of the sky on those alien planets.
After all, for human beings, the color of the clear blue sky of the earth is a color memory buried deep in the body of all people, more beautiful than any other color.
Lu An, who was born and grew up in Sri Lanka, has long been accustomed to such a scene, and he never felt that there was anything to envy at that time, and he was not very interested in this topic.
Now, Lu An, who looked up at the sky, suddenly remembered those past discussions, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
As a result, the color of the sky, which originally looks strange, does have a special beauty.
When Lu An subconsciously lowered his head, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a huge blue "moon" in the southern sky, and a crimson "moon" in the northern sky.
It's -
Lu An's eyes widened, and he turned his head back and forth to look around.
The earth hangs in the middle of the sky in the south, blue and white like a beautiful glass bead; And the sun hangs over the horizon of the North Pole, revealing a vibrant, bright fiery red.
On the somewhat dimmed lunar sky, these two bright planets, like the eyes of heaven and earth, are staring at everyone on the earth, strange, beautiful and shocking.
At the moment of giving birth to this year, Lu An seemed to be stimulated, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, but he couldn't help but stare at the "two eyes" of this heaven and earth.
At this moment, the extremely vast world of Buddha is majestic and intimate, making people feel that they are small and grand, and the Buddha wants to be integrated with heaven and earth.
"How? How about such a beautiful view? ”
Liu Yuan stood quietly next to him and asked with a smile.
Lu An took a deep breath, kept rolling his eyes from side to side, and looked at it for a while before he reluctantly looked away and replied: "It's really beautiful, I used to think that the scenery on the earth was beautiful enough, and there was no comparison in this world, and my friend said the same." Still, I now think she wouldn't have said that if she had seen it. ”
Liu Yuan laughed and said: "This kind of scenery is rare even on the moon, and it can only be seen for one or two days a month. And it also has to meet the time of the 'moonlit night'. ”
After hearing this, Lu An immediately raised his head again and stared greedily at the sky.
"So, the beauty of the earth is natural. But if people don't come out, they will never see the more bizarre beauty of these worlds. After seeing the scenery at home for a long time, it will always be familiar, and slowly it will become familiar. And having seen these strange beauties, I can cherish the commonplace beauties on the earth even more. ”
"yes."
Lu An echoed, focusing on the blue and white glass ball above the southern sky. Looking at the strange beauty of the moon now, and then thinking about the blue sky and white jade that is not surprising at all when you are on Earth, it is really emotional.
"Come on, sit down and take your time. We can't leave today, we may have to spend the night here, and some of them have time to take their time. ”
Liu Yuan walked to a wide and flat moon rock a few steps away and sat down, patted the place next to him, and motioned for Lu An to sit down.
Lu An sat down in the past, feeling that it was too tiring to look up and turn from side to side, so he simply lay down on the wide and flat moon rock, and put his body in a large shape, as if he wanted to hug the sky above his head and stared at him.
In front of Uncle Liu, Lu An never minded showing his childlike nature like this. After all, when his temperament was more nonsense in the past, Lu An now thinks of those past events that he will secretly be shy and embarrassed, but Liu Yuan has witnessed them with his own eyes, so Lu An is more casual in front of him.
"Uncle Liu, do you say that outside this sky, there are many people like Bell, driving the spaceship wildly, galloping in space, free and easy......
Lu An put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky above him and thought.
Liu Yuan sat with his hands on his knees, looked at the lunar landing vehicle at the foot of the mountain, and said: "There are indeed many people like him, but they are all smugglers, and many of them are just to make ends meet. ”
"Uh-" Lu An turned his head and asked, "Aren't they calling themselves pirates?" I remember my father had some books about them. Freely steering the ship, wearing a black blindfold and flying a skull flag, galloping across the ****** ......"
Lu An said, suddenly his voice gradually lowered, and his thoughts fluttered and he felt as if something was wrong.
"Hahaha, those people are prehistoric pirates, and they all drive ships in the ocean, not spacecraft."
Lu An smiled.
"Of course, these smugglers are doing the same thing as those prehistoric pirates. It's just that space travel is not like the ocean at all, it takes enough courage to fight against the stormy waves, there is only endless darkness and silence in space, and these people can't see the light, and after a long time, they all look like crazy people. ”
"A bunch of maniacs? That bell looked good, though a little wild and rough. ”
Liu Yuan shook his head, looked at the foot of the mountain with deep eyes, and said, "What is this Bell's real name, almost no one knows now. As you should have just known, 'Bell' is just a title, but it can only be obtained by those who have experienced space drifting. Moreover, how could it be nice that he could get a bunch of lunatics to bow down to him? An An, do you know how he got this title in the first place? ”
Lu An naturally didn't know, he stared at Liu Yuan curiously.
"At the beginning, he was just an ordinary person, he was in an accident in the asteroid belt while riding a spaceship, and he drifted alone in space, but seven years later he walked out of the asteroid belt alive."
Liu Yuan's face was serious, and he shook his head and said, "Even if it's me, it's creepy to think of that kind of situation." ”
Seven years? Space drifting? Alone?
Lu An's eyes widened.
