Chapter 004: Jerky
Moon Quarter, Hobbit Elder's Room.
"Daddy, how did I do that thing I begged you to do?" The Hobbit's only son, Achill.
"Which thing? I don't know how many things you ask me to do every day, how do I know which one? Elder Hobbit stared at the huge planet on the screen, with its undulating mountains and a single gray and yellow rocky surface, as vicissitudes of North American history.
The undercover agent he sent to the technical department of the Peony District told him at the first time: This is a death star.
Even if Jeremy Zhou Sheng and they replenished enough energy on Earth2, would these people on the moon go hungry to start a new journey?
"Daddy!" Archer's tone was a little agitated.
"Oh, oh, I'm distracted...... What did you just say? Be...... What's the matter with your birthday present? You're both 22 years old, and I remember how happy you were when you gave you a gift when you were five years old. ”
“……”
"I remember, you're talking about the daughter of the Chinese and the elder? No way," Hobbit shrugged, "Hejing and Yelu Zhou gave birth to them and set off for Earth with the space mining team." I think you should think about other people's daughters, the two of them are inseparable, and no one can get in. Since this morning, and the elders have been ignoring my calls...... Fools will also make the right choice between you and Yelu Zhousheng. ”
On the screen, the son angrily threw something at him, and there was a violent water-like tremor on the screen on the hobbit's side, and then it went black.
Hobbit shook his head, this son of his was nothing more than a man in temper. He thought of the energetic girl, and shook his head helplessly again, once again to contact the elders, and again to be rejected, there was always an explanation.
On the surface of Earth 2, on the highest plateau.
"What am I talking about? The gravitational pull here is only slightly greater than the surface of the moon. Yelu Zhousheng stomped his foot lightly, and immediately a cloud of smoke rose under his feet, and the others had already jumped more than three meters high.
"Without radiation suits, these fumes are all fatal to us, and it will change us unconsciously."
Yelu Zhousheng jumped forward, and Jing followed closely behind, more than a dozen space mining vehicles on the ground were buzzing and working, this was the largest scale Yelu Zhousheng could dispatch, maybe with the accumulation of energy, they would gradually increase the scale of production.
"There was a massive nuclear explosion here at some point, and we can't find anything but this dust," Yelu Zhousheng said, "and all the life that has ever existed here is flying under my feet and yours," Yelu Zhousheng stomped his foot again.
"It's not all, or we can see some jerky on the bottom of the sea that is dry." ”
They stepped into the space vehicle, hung up the safety belt, and Yelu Zhousheng said, "The temperature is just right at this time, like spring on Earth 1." After three months, we couldn't come back here, and then we were dried and jerky. ”
"Sun-dried meat? How good it is, I will also hold you together, so that those who have plans against us will hesitate with their forks and do not know where to start. ”
Yelu Zhousheng raised his arm, wearing a delicate instrument on his wrist. He pressed a command, and soon a cloud of blue smoke rose from the bottom of a fully loaded mining vehicle and flew into the air towards the moon, which was suspended 500,000 kilometers above their heads.
"Let's go, let's go see the bottom of the sea."
The surface of Earth2 stretches into the distance in oblique sunlight, intersecting in a straight line with the darkness of space. The stars were twinkling, and there was no doubt that the moon was the largest celestial body it seemed right now. The giant blowholes facing Earth2 are now extinguished, and the Moon is waiting for news from them.
The two men landed in one of the lowest terrains. Surrounded by towering mountains, the feet are finely crushed grains of sand.
"It looks like this is the bottom of the sea, look at the sand, it's the result of the previous sea agitation."
Listening to Yelu Zhousheng's words, Hejing's heart was beating "dong dong". It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of blood pulsating in the veins.
Behind a hill, the two saw a large "whale" with a rusty paddle on its tail fin.
With a kick of Hejing, the paddle blades shattered into pieces and slowly floated down from above.
"Don't touch it, this was once the most ferocious underwater artifact, I've seen the information - it's a submarine. Now I can't help the kick of the beauty, so let's let more professional personnel come over. ”
"I see, it's the sea that protects it, look at these shells," He Jing picked up a slice, "I'm sure we'll find jerky." ”
"Then we're going to go to a more hidden corner, where even if there is jerky, it will have already been roasted in the direct sunlight."
On Yelu Zhousheng's wrist, the delicate instrument made a special vibration, and he knew that something was going on on the moon.
In the large conference room of the Moon Center, the elders from No. 2 to No. 7 were already seated, and Yelu Zhousheng and He Jing walked in one after the other. The two did not find their father.
Elder Hobbit spoke first, "Grand Leader, Miss Hejing, please forgive us for calling you back in such a hurry, yes, Elder One has passed away. ”
He Jing let out a low sigh and fell weakly into Yelu Zhousheng's arms.
"That's right, I'm calling and Elder three times in a row today...... For the sake of Miss Hejing...... I know it's impossible, but as a father, I'm just doing my best. As you know, Elder He has always been an elder who pays great attention to etiquette. It's not normal today, so I notified the Lunar Weapons Department, and it was they who brought the news. ”
Yelu Zhousheng recalled the last call with Jing's father, and it seemed that he had realized the end of his life, as he mentioned the "orange" like sun.
"You should know something from my father-in-law's last words, yesterday he entrusted Hejing to me in the name of a father." Yelu Zhousheng said calmly. He Jing woke up and sobbed quietly.
The second elder of the Chinese clan, the elderly Hua Feng, said slowly, "Yes, Elder No. 1 has entrusted me to be your witness...... He has always been more visionary than all of us, and perhaps his departure is hinting at something to me. Elder Hua's expression was gloomy.
"Uncle Hua, Jing and I have made a new discovery on Earth 2, but my father's death called us back. The future of our moon is at stake. Therefore, we ask you to announce our marriage. As soon as we say goodbye to our father, we will explore more broadly. This is our deepest memory of my father. ”
Hua Feng said, "I announce...... I testify! ”
Yelu Zhousheng and Hejing saw their father. He sat quietly in the wide chair that belonged to him, holding a delicate picture frame in front of his chest with one hand, it was Hejing's mother; The other hand was also on the button to send the file. They remembered their father's last words and last entrustment.
A person, so calmly and methodically departing, is now one with the vast universe.
Elder Hobbit couldn't wait to ask a question, "As is customary, Elder One's brain storage information will be fully copied, and the special stamen tablets will be handed over to the Lunar Archive for preservation, I will say...... Elder No. 1's office needs to be arranged. ”
Elder Hua said, "Who is qualified to sit there now? I don't. ”
"When we gather enough momentum and find enough food to study Elder Hobbit's proposal, it will be more relaxed." Now, I'm going to recruit volunteers in the various flower fields of the moon, and the nuclear energy that has been collected is enough for us to dispatch all the mining equipment to form a large harvesting team...... We don't have much time, and we'll have to leave in three months. ”
