At the south pole of the moon, in a crater inside the Aitken Basin, a manned spacecraft from China slowly landed at the rocket launch center of the scientific research base.
The cabin door of the spacecraft opened, and several nuclear energy development engineers walked out. The one in front was Guo Yiming, a scientist from China and one of the main persons in charge of developing the Suzaku-2 nuclear fusion engine.
After the Spring Festival, he led several nuclear energy engineers to make a special trip to the lunar scientific research base, preparing to collect helium-rich soil and bring it back to the Space City Yellow River Shipyard.
The scientific research base is located inside the crater. What is exposed on the lunar surface is an oval-shaped building. The internal hall is tall and majestic. Some engineering robots are busy shuttling between various experimental areas.
Not long after, Guo Yiming came to the command room of the base. He had just finished a cup of tea when he noticed that the calm water surface began to shake slightly. Immediately afterwards, he felt a strong earthquake wave coming from a distance, which caused the chandelier on the ceiling to begin to tremble continuously. At the same time, the communication device hanging by his ear also heard harsh electronic noise.
"Call the monitor, what happened outside the base? Was it attacked by a space meteorite?"
"The shock wave seems to be coming from the Sky Eye Observation Station. The current situation is not very clear. We are linking to the lunar orbit satellite to further verify the situation there!" A blue light flashed in the command room, and the digital figure of the monitor appeared on an electronic screen. , she looked at Guo Yiming and the others with a smile.
"I suggest the base's planetary defense engineering team to go there quickly to investigate!" Guo Yiming thought that the Sky Eye base had been hit by a meteorite, and was very worried about the astronomical observers there.
"The Moon Base agrees with your suggestion. We are currently counting the damage to the equipment, and the engineering rescue team will set off in 2 hours."
A beautiful and capable woman walked into the command room. She was Zhou Chunhua, the main person in charge of the scientific research base. "Now I will take you to the nuclear fuel storage of the research center. Dr. Yi Ming, please come to me!"
"Let's go together!" Guo Yiming and his assistant boarded a construction vehicle and followed her towards the research center.
Soon after, a young boy hurried to the lunar base and happened to meet the engineering rescue team that was getting ready to go.
At this moment, the moon suit on his body was covered with dust, and there were several obvious collision cracks on the helmet visor. However, he ignored these hidden dangers and anxiously asked the base for help:
"Please, please save my parents. They are trapped in the Moon Toad 2 Cave and are in urgent need of food and heating!"
"Child, don't worry, speak slowly! I feel very familiar looking at you! Are you Chang He?"
Guo Yiming happened to arrive in the scientific research hall, walked towards the boy, took him to the normal room, and motioned for him to put on a new lunar suit.
"Uncle, I am Changhe!"
Changhe looked at the familiar faces in front of him with joy on his face, "My parents have been living in the observatory these days, until yesterday I received a distress signal from my father. They encountered a cave collapse in the Moon Toad 2 crater and fell into the deep. The situation in the pit is very dangerous now!"
"How...how could this happen?" Guo Yiming learned that Pan Tianming was in danger and became very anxious. "Son, I hope your father can hold on. Our engineering rescue team will set off immediately!"
Guo Yiming followed the rescue team at the base, got on the lunar capsule car, and rushed towards the Sky Eye Observation Station.
Mingyue curled up in her mother's arms and stretched her hands tremblingly into the air, as if she wanted to catch the stars at the entrance of the cave dozens of meters high.
Unfortunately, in the dark moon cave, she could barely see her father's anxious and blurry figure through the starlight.
"Dad, I'm scared! Can't we get out?"
Pan Tianming carefully circled around the cave. The satellite phone in his hand still had no signal. What worried him even more was that after a day and two nights of power consumption, the light on his phone gradually dimmed, and finally there was no trace of it. There is no more light.
"Can't we contact the outside world?" Yang Ying asked worriedly.
“I tried several times while standing on the surrounding boulders, but I didn’t even have a cell phone.
There's a signal! We are still unable to contact the outside world, so we can only wait and hope that Changhe can contact the Antarctic research station so that the rescue team can get here as soon as possible. Tianming suppressed the panic in his heart and comforted his wife. He secretly prayed that Changhe could receive the only signal yesterday and bring the rescue team over.
"Mom and Dad, there seem to be strange figures around, I'm so scared!" Mingyue pursed her thirsty lips, and her father's figure in front of her began to blur!
"Don't be afraid, child. Mom and dad will always be by your side!" Pan Tianming walked forward along the starlight. He squatted in front of his daughter and wife, trying to comfort them. At this time, his pupils suddenly brightened, He noticed that a light began to appear on his daughter's chest, "Mingyue, what is that shining thing on your chest?"
At this time, Mingyue put her hand into her collar and took out a crystal clear Guanyin statue. Her big black eyes also shone with doubt.
"Dad, look, it's the Crystal Guanyin! He gave it to me."
The Crystal Guanyin was stretched into the dark cave by the bright moon, illuminating the surrounding stone walls and the deep tunnel entrance five or six meters away.
"Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva, thank you God for blessing us."
Pan Tianming took the crystal, and the panic in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant! He began to become calm and peaceful, then gently stroked his daughter's helmet and asked:
"do you know who he is?"
"A very young man, as old as grandma." Mingyue whispered, worried that her father would be unhappy if she mentioned him.
Pan Tianming seemed to have a premonition. He suddenly recalled the time when he and his father and mother had breakfast together when he was a child. His father always sat aside and smiled, watching him drink milk in big gulps.
"Child, let go of the pain, he is your father after all!"
Pan Tianming seemed to see his mother standing in front of him again, looking at the group photo on the wall, crying constantly.
Everything is over, you have to learn to let go and accept a new beginning.
Just like the bright moon looks forward to its father, I look at the moon every day and hope that my parents will spend more time with their children.
In this life, everyone's destiny is different, and everyone has their own responsibilities to fulfill. Just forget the past and learn to accept the new.
"He is...he is..." Pan Tianming almost shed a tear. He might have understood his father.
"He is your father, Pan Tianyi."
Yang Ying saw some clues from Mingyue's hesitant eyes. On New Year's Eve, she learned from Changhe about an episode that happened in the early days of their arrival from Tiancheng City.
"Well, it's him!" Mingyue nodded.
"Here... let's go check out the tunnel there first. Maybe there is an exit leading to the lunar surface..."
Pan Tianming's heart surged with overwhelming emotions. Suddenly, the years of resentment towards his father collapsed at that moment. At this time, he tried to act calmly, turned his head and looked at the huge cave tunnel not far away. He had to think The solution was to get the wife out as soon as possible. Cold and lack of water could kill their precious lives at any time.
"Dad, look, there is a tall tiankeng crack there. Can we climb up from there?" Mingyue broke away from Yang Ying's arms and followed Pan Tianming closely with a little excitement.
"Ming Yue, watch your step!"
Soon after, Pan Tianming saw his daughter's feet slip and she fell to the ground. The pain was so painful that she almost burst into tears.
"This seems to be a natural deep pool of lava. Within tens of meters, the surface is smooth and hard, just like walking on an ice cap!" Yang Ying gently helped her daughter up and carefully looked at her daughter through the remaining light of the crystal stone. Observe the ground like glass.
"The moon was created 4.5 billion years ago, possibly from early cooling of magma."
When Pan Tianming saw that they were not injured, he continued walking towards the ancient crack. Many rock flows like tree roots appeared under his feet, which seemed to flow out from the ancient crack in front of him.
"Dad, wait for us. I'm so scared. There seem to be figures flying around!" Mingyue looked at the flickering stone wall in front of her, and she seemed to see several figures.
A blurry figure.
"Wait! Look there!"
Pan Tianming suddenly stopped. With the light beam coming from Mingyue's hand, he was surprised to find dozens of angel-like figures carved on the wall. They spread their wings like birds, surrounding the huge spherical ark in the center. Soaring freely and joyfully, like humans, they seem to be celebrating some grand space event.
"It's incredible, there are traces of lunar civilization here!"
Yang Ying and her daughter came to a flat stone wall. She gently wiped away the thick dust and studied it carefully.
"At this time, I really hope to contact the Antarctic research base and inform them of the news here. This place has the value of civilization exploration that shocks the world!" Pan Tianming looked at the cave entrance glowing with a few stars, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in his heart. .
"I hope our rescue team will arrive before other local organizations!" Yang Ying also let out a long sigh.
They stood in the cold and dark night, using the faint crystal light to constantly drive away the unknown and fear that filled the cave.
Suddenly, several beams of bright light appeared at the entrance of the cave in the distance, and a metal ladder slid down from above. Two rescuers dressed in fiery red quickly jumped to the gravel ground.
"Call Tianming, please answer when you receive it!"
"Call Tianming, please answer when you receive it!"
"We are here! Thank you for the rescue!" The communication signal suddenly sounded in Tianming's helmet, and the moment he had been waiting for finally came.
"Dad, has someone come to save us?" Mingyue looked at the bright entrance of the cave and became happy.
"Yes, Mingyue, you and your mother will go up first later. I also want to meet an old friend!" Pan Tianming and his wife walked towards the rescue team.
"Is it Guo Yiming?" Yang Ying guessed.
"Yes, I will tell him everything found here, and then let the moon base seal this place!" Pan Tianming said with excitement.
"Hi, is this Tianming?" One of the rescuers approached Tianming and his wife with a strong flashlight.
"It's me, Yi Ming! If you believe me, please immediately ask the rescuers above to seal the entrance of the cave. No one is allowed to come down without permission." Pan Tianming stepped forward and held his hand tightly, becoming very excited. .
"Well, it looks like you have indeed discovered something amazing!" Guo Yiming looked at the glowing eyes behind the glass mask and seemed to have a premonition. He immediately contacted the rescue team outside the cave and sealed off the place as soon as possible. Outsiders take half a step forward.
