Hanxi City, Guangming District, high-rise residential buildings.

A middle-aged man named Sun Liancheng stood on the balcony, humming a song while adjusting the astronomical telescope and planetary camera.

He was a former leader of Guangming District. He was disheartened because of his unhappy career and was disheartened.

My daily hobby is to study astronomy. I often take the children in the Youth Palace to see the stars. Occasionally, I also take some astral photos and upload them to the forums of astronomical enthusiasts. I live a Buddhist and leisurely life.

Today, he is preparing to shoot the moon.

Previously, the Mirage Dragon broke through the sky, left the earth's orbit, crossed the vacuum, and descended to the center of the quiet sea on the moon (lunar basin, 1,700 meters below the moon's surface), and began to spew gray and white mist, causing the mist to form a complex complex of ancient oriental styles.

With the human girl-like living body, it is hidden under the thick fog.

Professionals from various regions of the aerospace agency have made countless efforts to detect under the clouds or directly contact Mirage Dragon.

Unfortunately, even using various scientific instruments cannot see through the clouds.

Whether it is UV/visible cameras, near infrared CCD cameras, laser altimeters, high resolution cameras or charged particle telescopes, gamma ray spectrometers, magnetometers, neutron spectrometers,

When you swept through the vast clouds that are comparable to craters, you cannot get any data feedback, which is like encountering an information black hole.

For the sake of earth's safety (the tidal force of the moon is related to marine ecology) and stability, the Aerospace Administration has accelerated the lunar exploration project and will carry the landing device of scientific instruments and communication instruments to launch towards the northeast of the moon surface and land on the edge of the Jinghai Yun Palace.

Finally, according to the Aerospace Administration, after entering Jinghai Yun Palace, the lander sent back some important information, but soon lost contact with the dedicated relay communication satellite outside the Earth orbit and the surface command center.

The originally set procedure of "automatically leave Jinghai Cloud Palace after losing contact" seems to have failed.

As for the content of the important information, it is probably that Jinghai Cloud Palace has no entity, and its energy fluctuations are very stable, and there is no serious threat to humans at the moment. Please rest assured.

Although the aerospace departments in various regions agreed to confirm the situation of Jinghai Yun Palace and Mirage Dragon as soon as possible, landing on the moon is not as simple as going out to buy vegetables. Even with strong financial support and various novel technologies brought back by the Killing Game,

The moon landing and manned landing projects still need to be carried out slowly and cannot be implemented immediately.

This has also caused a wave of astronomy in various places. The clouds in the Jinghai meteorite crater are not stationary, but are changing every moment. Sometimes through the thin clouds, you can see the Jinghai Cloud Palace complex that has also changed below.

Astronomy enthusiasts take photos of the moon every day, upload them to the online platform, and record the appearance of the building complex.

"I don't know what kind of photos I can take today..."

Sun Liancheng murmured to himself, slowly adjusting the height of the tripod.

The balcony door behind him opened, Sun Pengmiao, the son of Sun Liancheng, who was still in junior high school, walked over with two cups of hot coffee and handed a cup to his father.

Under the influence of Sun Liancheng, Sun Pengmiao also developed a strong interest in astronomy since he was a child. He won the second prize in the Hanxi Youth Astronomical Science Competition, and the astrological photos he took have been on the cover of the magazine many times.

In the real world, Sun Pengmiao has excellent academic performance, is sensible and obedient, but he is a relatively introverted person. He does not have many friends and likes to study computers, astronomy, mathematics, etc.

In terms of ordinary life, Sun Pengmiao has two other identities - hackers and players.

To give a more accurate description, it is probably the 181st place in the personal combat power ranking, Lv21, [Async call·LAN], and the fifth seat of the syndicate disciple.

Compared with the image of a weak boy with a pale face and thin body when playing the role of LAN,

Sun Pengmiao in the real world is undoubtedly much more normal.

He watched his father debugging the camera and took a sip of coffee slowly, "Dad, my scholarship for this semester is coming soon. Then add some red envelopes for the New Year and change to a big black. This little black has been using it for several years."

Xiao Hei refers to the Xingda bkp150750 telescope, while Da Hei refers to its large-diameter high-end version.

"You just keep the scholarship yourself."

Sun Liancheng said carelessly: "Dad, you don't need to buy it. When the discount comes, I will buy a large-caliber apo..."

I didn't see you buy it last time?

LAN felt in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"By the way, the final exam is coming soon. You may not be able to get up and play games secretly at night."

Sun Liancheng clapped his arms and drove away the mosquitoes on his hands.

He put his head close to the planetary camera and said, "There is a direct class in the Affiliated High School of Normal University, which has a strong teaching capacity. You will be in the middle school entrance examination next year. You may not be slacking off. It is best to get into the direct class. The learning atmosphere will be better, and your mother will not say anything about me taking you to play around."

Hey, then you still ask me to get up in the middle of the night to shoot the moon with you?

The corners of his eyes twitched against the balcony. He slowly drank coffee. His mind moved. The mosquitoes wandering around this residential building seemed to have some sense, and naturally flew away.

"Um..."

Sun Liancheng, who was completely immersed in astronomical photography, did not notice anything outside at all. He looked at Jinghai Yun Palace, which was gradually becoming clear in the camera, and sighed with emotion.

The universe is vast and time is infinite. Compared with the ancient nebula, what is human beings? What is the flies and dogs who are addicted to intrigues and borers who meet on the road of official career? It's just an ant dust...

The LAN next to him stared at a small spider web under the eaves of the balcony, a little dazzled.

In the video game script world where the time flowed extremely fast last time, he had forgotten all his memories and spent sixteen years, even living longer than "Sun Pengmiao".

If that period of life is considered as age, he is already in his thirties now...

Bang.

The sound of the legs of the chair rubbing against the ground came from beside him. LAN turned his head and saw Sun Liancheng standing up suddenly, his eyes leaning against the planetary camera, but his face was full of shock and disbelief.

"This, this..."

LAN frowned, a very faint light lit up deep in his eyes, and the five senses suddenly magnified.

His gaze swept across the sky, strengthening his vision dozens of times, instantly seeing clearly the source that surprised Sun Liancheng - the vast sky, above the moon, the Jinghai Cloud Palace slowly collapsed,

A giant dragon head composed of clouds and mist extends out from the center of the Yun Palace, staring silently in the direction of the earth.

"That's a dragon..."

Sun Liancheng's words came to an abrupt end. His consciousness was influenced by the spiritual power released by the LAN. His pupils spread unconsciously, and his expression of astonishment returned to calm. He stood up silently like a sleepwalking, turned around and walked into the bedroom, and fell asleep beside his wife.

LAN did not look back and continued to stare at the moon surface. The five senses of expansion made him know that his father had returned to the bedroom, and the entire house was filled with the mental barrier released by LAN.

The strength of the Mirage Dragon on the moon is unfathomable and unmeasurable. For legendary lives of this level, it is dangerous for mortals to just stare at them.

How long has it been? The Mirage Dragon has not moved...

[The teacher asked me to tell everyone and log in to the square.]

A message notification was sent in the friend system, from [out of control]

LAN took a deep breath, [What's wrong? It's related to the Mirage Dragon?]

[I am only responsible for conveying it.]

Out of control replied.

LAN's lips were slightly pursed, and he looked at his parents who were sleeping soundly in the bedroom, but his figure did not disappear.

———

At this moment, not only are astronomy enthusiasts like Sun Liancheng observing the moon.

Aerospace Administrations of various countries set up observation stations in various places to automatically upload the abnormal information to the extraordinary affairs management agency. In ten minutes, the information was reported layer by layer, and countless phone calls were called.

The ultra-high-resolution photo of the Dragon Head of Jinghai Yungong sent back by the LRO Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter appears on the high-level desktops of extraordinary affairs management agencies in various places.

On the corridor wall of the Special Service Bureau headquarters building, the warning light illuminated a red light that symbolized the highest hazard level. Employees wearing the Special Service Bureau's work uniforms ran in the corridor and returned to their respective jobs.

call--

A breeze blew through the corridor until the door of a dormitory on the high-rise building of the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters.

The wind suddenly stopped, and Zhu Xuemin's figure slipped out of the wind.

He held a stack of photos of the moon that had just been printed in his hand, took a deep breath, and knocked on the wooden door of the dormitory.

"Enter."

A calm voice did not come out of the door, but sounded directly in my ears.

Zhu Xuemin raised his breath of turbid air and put his hand on the door handle.

Click.

The door opened in response to the sound, but it was not an ordinary dormitory room, but a scene of a mountain top with a vast space.

The lush forests, misty clouds, soft mud on your feet, the crisp bird songs heard in your ears, and the water-like air in the forest all remind that this is not an illusion.

On the top of the mountain, there is a simple octagonal viewing pavilion. There is a guzheng and an incense burner on the stone table in the pavilion.

A figure in a white dress stood behind the stone table, looking into the distant mountain view.

Zhu Xuemin walked towards the viewing pavilion on the stone steps, not daring to look directly at the back of the white skirt, and hesitated in his mind how to speak.

The relationship between the other party and the contemporary alien society is too complicated. Should he call him Senior Sister? Or Master? Master?

"That dragon is fine."

The figure in white dress, or Su Nisheng, answered Zhu Xuemin's question before he spoke, "She was just alert."

"What should I be wary of?"

Zhu Xuemin asked subconsciously, then immediately reacted to his tone and hurriedly added, "Master."

Su Nisheng didn't look back and said lightly: "There is something trying to drill through the wall."

"wall?"

Zhu Xuemin fell into doubt again, but the next moment, Su Nisheng's figure had disappeared from the spot, leaving only a breeze, disturbing the white smoke rising from the incense burner.
