Chapter 3: The Beacon (1)

The earth was still shrouded in silence, the stars were dim, and the dark curtain of night shone faintly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xiao Ran In the living area they are in, there is not much light, and the shabby colors of those old houses almost blend in with the surrounding barren background.

People are scattered in the residential area, although there are not many of them, but they are like a little green in the desert, crumbling and endless

Life on the moon is thirty days a month, and half of it is night and half of it, so for Xiao Ran and them, in fact, the difference between day and night is really not big for them.

As a result, a 12-hour shift allows a certain number of people to work at all times of the day, so a high level of efficiency is maintained in order to meet the annual mineral requirements.

Under the inconspicuous room of Xiao Ran and the old gentleman, the wooden door was slowly opened, and the two brothers, Wang Hao and Wang Jie, had been waiting outside the door for a while. Mr. Mo was wrapped in a gray robe, and walked out unhurriedly, his clothes were shabby, but they were already a lot cleaner. Xiao Ran followed behind the old gentleman, still chewing some food in his mouth, turned slightly sideways, and closed the door.

"Wang Hao, Wang Jie, have you all eaten?" Mr. Mo saw that the brother surnamed Wang was already standing at the door, so he couldn't help but say a few words.

Wang Hao, as an elder brother, hurriedly smiled, and then said: "Of course, we have all eaten, and we will wait for you, old man, if we have nothing to do." “

Everyone has a high respect for Mr. Mo, but out of a very inexplicable feeling, there are really not many people who call Mr. "you".

"Hah, yes, yes." The old gentleman laughed dryly, he hadn't shown such an expression for a long time, "Then let's go, without further ado, while the time for the shift is not yet up, there is no one on the way." “

After speaking, the old gentleman's smile was put away and became serious.

Xiao Ran and the brothers surnamed Wang followed, to tell the truth, it was the first time they had broken their normal work and rest habits for so long, and they couldn't help but feel a little fresh and excited in their hearts.

All four of them were newcomers, and it was a simple thing for them to skillfully navigate through the dust wind and then get to the pit. Except for Mr. Mo who was a little reluctant when he went down the pit, Xiao Ran and the brother surnamed Wang took a hand, as usual, he didn't encounter any difficulties, and he didn't meet anyone.

Everyone has their own things to do, and outside of their shifts, there is almost no human interaction between the living quarters and the mines. The pit is so big that everyone has their own area to be responsible for, and it's hard to come across each other.

Of course, this is not that Mr. Mo is unwilling to meet others, but it is purely a psychology that more is better than less.

The air in the cavern was still cold and dry, giving people a feeling of suffocation.

"Xiao Ran. You just think there's a whole ship behind this thing, right? Mr. Mo was holding a miniature flashlight, a bit like Xiao Ran yesterday, but the emotion that contained anticipation was even stronger, looking at the metal door frame embedded behind the rock formation, his eyes were shining.

On the huge frame, the silvery-white smooth metal surface is covered with blue crystals distributed like blood vessels, and the light reflecting the flashlight shines faintly, no matter how many times you look at it, you can't help but feel amazed.

"Well, that's it." Xiao Ran clasped his hands in front of his chest, and his dark eyes were full of light blue colors.

Mr. Mo's body suddenly became a little trembling, revealing a faint smile, and walked step by step in front of the metal machines, his wrinkled hand was gently raised, and he stroked it quietly on the smooth blue crystal, and said, "Yes...... You're right, it's a spaceship called the Phobion. ”

"The Hope? You knew there was this ship before? Xiao Ran hurriedly stepped forward, walked to the old man's side, watched the old man's old hand caress the surface of the metal door, and asked in surprise.

"Old gentleman!? ......" Wang Hao and Wang Jie stood not far away, and when they heard Mr. Mo's words, they couldn't help but subconsciously shout out the title of Mr. Mo.

"Yes, I know." Mr. Mo turned around, wanted to speak and stopped, facing Xiao Ran and the brothers surnamed Wang, but his face was dignified, which formed a strong contrast with the joy just now, and the emotions mixed in the tone of his voice were very complicated, "It's just that I didn't know that it was in our mine." ”

"It's dangerous, isn't it?" Xiao Ran looked at Mr. Mo's expression changed a little, and he was also very uncertain.

"I heard you describe it yesterday, and I pretty much know about the ship's existence here. But I never thought it would be the 'Hope'. The old gentleman put the miniature flashlight back into Xiao Ran's hand, leaned slightly to the side of his tall and thin figure, and said, "The history of this spaceship is not long, it is a product of the first year of Taiping. But this does not mean that its scientific and technological level is not high, you know, on the contrary, that time was the heyday of human civilization. ”

"And the reason why the Biwang is named by people is the word 'Bewang' precisely because what it contains is the vision of mankind to the other side, and it is an unprecedented super technology -- the power it contains is far higher than that of our current era."

Xiao Ran listened to the old man's words, and the blood in his body seemed to flow faster, making him extremely excited, but he still forced himself to calm down.

Behind this metal door is the strongest technology of human civilization! No, even now, it's still the most cutting-edge existence!

Xiao Ran didn't know why the old gentleman knew this, but he didn't ask, but was silently digesting what the old gentleman said.

"Mo Lao, what about this...... What will bring us. Instead, Wang Jie slowly approached the metal door, swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat, and stroked the blue crystals like the old gentleman just now.

"I don't know, but it could really be a disaster that we can't afford." The old gentleman squinted, paused for a moment, and then said, "It must be what the government wants most now, but now they don't know that the original 'Piwang' is in our place." If we are discovered, we may all be killed. There are still many forces that are opposed to the government, and the government has obtained this thing, and its dominance is bound to be further consolidated. “

"Of course, it is very likely that this 'Hope' is just an empty shell." Old Mr. Mo turned around again, facing the disorderly and beautiful metal door covered with blood like blue crystal.

The brothers surnamed Wang were both cold and shivering, and their pupils were constricted.

On the contrary, Xiao Ran, as a teenager, was very calm, and he asked Mr. Mo lightly: "If we don't move this spaceship, there will be no danger?" ”

"No, it won't." Mr. Mo replied.

Xiao Ran had a faint smile on his face, looked at the metal door that could not be seen, and patted the backs of the two brothers beside him.

"Then let's go in and have a look."
