On the bank of HLJ at the northern foot of the Daxingan Mountains, along the river, lies a quaint, simple, and peaceful border town - Mohe Village. In the early years, there were not many aborigines in the village, about a thousand people, and they mainly made a living by fishing and hunting.
.Because it is located in a high latitude area, it is the best place for domestic tourists to watch the Northern Lights and the Aurora Borealis. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the tourism industry in Mohe Village has continued to heat up and now attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year.
Tourists come here for sightseeing. I don’t know since when, people have given this place a very interesting new name, calling it "Arctic Village".
Uncle Zhang and his wife were both born and raised in Mohe Village. They have a son and a daughter, both of whom work in the county and are married. Last weekend, his son came back happily with his grandson and said that the kindergarten had started winter vacation early, and he and his children
Mom has a lot of work at work before the end of the year, so she wants to leave Huanhuan with her grandparents - the children haven't been back for a long time. When he comes to pick them up before the Spring Festival and go to the county town to celebrate the New Year, Huanhuan will go back together.
Huanhuan has just turned 4 years old. He is smart and lively. His grandparents love him in every possible way.
Although Uncle Zhang is nearly seventy years old, his many years of fishing and hunting life have built up his strong body and firm will. He still often goes to the boundary river to cast a net and fish for fun. Even in winter, he will brave the freezing temperatures.
In the severe cold of 20 to 30 degrees, he took a group of young adults to dig out the ice to fish, and returned with a full load every time. The locals all admired his strong energy and optimistic attitude that was willing to enjoy life.
As soon as Huanhuan arrived at his grandparents' house, he clamored for his grandfather to take him to build a snowman in the yard. Even though his grandfather knew that he was coming and had already built a big snowman for him at the door in advance, he still didn't give up and said he must make it by himself.
Build one with your own hands, and you must build a "big snow rabbit". Uncle Zhang is also very interested. Playing with his grandson is a kind of family happiness, even if it is freezing outside.
The grandfather and grandson wrapped themselves tightly from head to toe in leather jackets and cotton trousers, and then put on wool masks and thick leather gloves to avoid frostbite.
By late December, the sun only made a small arc in the southern sky during the day, and had already set at around 3 p.m.
Huanhuan was like a round, clumsy little bear, holding snow in both hands and running around in the yard. He said he wanted to build a "big snow rabbit", but he didn't see it taking shape for a long time. Grandpa followed him and never tired of it.
Under the dark red sunset and the white snow, it looks like an animation scene full of childlike interest.
Suddenly, the child seemed to have discovered something. His two big eyes hidden behind the mask stared straight ahead, and then he immediately pointed to the sky and shouted: "Grandpa, look! There is a rocket in the sky!"
Before Uncle Zhang could raise his head and look up, a faint whistling sound came into his ears from far to near, from weak to strong.
He looked in the direction of Huanhuan's finger and saw in the dark blue night sky, from the end of the "big spoon handle" of the Big Dipper, a "shooting star" with dazzling white light flying quickly towards him. The voice was obviously coming from the right direction.
It is coming from it, and it is getting more and more harsh.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" Huanhuan shook her grandfather's arm vigorously, pointing her little finger to a corner of the yard. "What is that? Whose hat is it?"
Uncle Zhang noticed that on the other side of the yard, there was a shimmering object embedded in the bottom of the "body" of the big snowman he had built for his grandson a few days ago, shaped like a leather hat with ear protection.
"Huh? What is this? Huanhuan, just stand still and let grandpa go take a look."
Uncle Zhang walked up to the big snowman and was one or two meters away from the thing. He saw clearly that it was not a leather hat, but a reflective object with a very smooth appearance. The big snowman was frozen like a big ice cube and was solid.
Yes, only a little bit of that thing is exposed outside. You can’t tell how big it is buried inside the snowman.
"Isn't this a piece of ice?" He stretched out a foot and tried to kick it, but felt something strange. "Weird! Why is this thing soft? Like dough..."
Before he finished speaking, Uncle Zhang disappeared out of thin air in an instant!
When Huanhuan's grandma saw her husband disappearing suddenly, she thought it was because she was dazzled. She quickly rubbed her eyes, and when she looked again, she still didn't see anyone. She couldn't help shouting: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang! Where are you? Huanhuan,
Do you see grandpa? Why can’t I see him?"
Huanhuan didn't know what was going on, so she followed her grandma around, crying and shouting: "Grandpa, grandpa..."
In the blink of an eye, Uncle Zhang disappeared without a trace from his wife and grandson, as if he had suddenly "escaped"!
The ice-shaped object buckled at the bottom of the big snowman is like a naughty child who is afraid of being blamed by adults after doing something bad. It slowly stretches into the snowman's "body" and gradually merges into one...
From Nanbin, where the average daily temperature is 16 to 17 degrees Celsius, to Northern Xinjiang, where the highest temperature is minus 17 to 18 degrees Celsius, Gao Tianjun felt as if he had crossed two worlds.
At 10 o'clock last night, Gao Tianjun received a direct notice from CSDA: "At 15:53 on December 29, a meteorite volley explosion occurred in HLJ Mohe. This incident caused varying degrees of damage to 17 houses in Arctic Village, and a total of 25 people were injured.
,1 person is missing."
CSDA ordered Gao Tianjun and Aisen to rush to Mohe immediately to participate in the investigation of the incident.
The entire notice contained only a few words, but the words "Another person is missing" made Gao Tianjun feel strange. According to experience, when meteorites explode in the air, it is often just the smaller meteorites that have not burned up after entering the atmosphere.
Part of it is caused by disintegration under friction and high temperature. Although it will cause some damage to surface buildings and may directly harm living groups, it is not catastrophic. Most of the injured are hit by meteorite fragments or injured.
It was hit by a collapsed building, but it is really strange to say that such an explosion would cause people to disappear.
There is another point that Gao Tianjun is wondering: Why does CSDA want him to bring Aisen with him? As the director of the department responsible for processing air-ground communication data at Base
We need to add another Eisen - is it possible that this meteorite explosion is related to "marginal space"?!
Gao Tianjun quickly proved that his judgment was right.
In the conference room of the Arctic Village Police Station, Gao Tianjun and Aisen met two people who claimed to be from the CSDA Technical Center. They were also wearing military coats. This small conference room was the newly established "'1229' working group"
"Temporary office.
Gao Tianjun first listened to the police at the police station describing the general situation of the meteorite explosion, and then checked the transcript of Uncle Zhang’s wife and her grandson coming to report the crime, as well as the photos of the disappearance scene taken by the police at Uncle Zhang’s house. Finally, a reporter from the CSDA Technology Center
Lieutenant Colonel Yuan Gang added: "According to Zhang Huan, a family member of the missing person, he found a luminous object in his yard after the meteorite explosion. He told his grandfather that his grandfather had shot towards that object in the past.
The object suddenly disappeared out of thin air when it was kicked. We asked Zhang Huan specifically today. He and his grandma both clearly remembered that the last words Uncle Zhang said before disappearing were: 'This thing is soft, like
Make dough...'"
"A luminous object appeared at the missing scene? Or is it soft? Like dough?!" Gao Tianjun quickly imagined what this thing looked like in his mind.
"I really want to see it!" Aisen, who was standing aside, suddenly said. "Is it that kind of translucent thing that can deform?"
Gao Tianjun immediately thought of one thing. He understood what Aisen was referring to.
"Yes." The police station director said, "Zhang Huan said that after his grandfather disappeared, he saw the object 'drilling' into the snowman's body, as if it were alive! But when I asked my colleagues to shovel the snowman away,
We came to search carefully, but we didn't see anything. Moreover, we found that the snowman had a thick layer of ice on its surface, which was very hard. If it were a soft thing, it would be impossible to get in."
"This is exactly why we want you to come and take a look with Aisen." Yuan Gang said to Gao Tianjun. "In this meteorite explosion, we conducted a comprehensive search of more than 200 kilometers around the impact area. It is strange that
Unfortunately, no fragments were found. It seemed that the meteorite had been 'gasified' and not even a slag was left. Therefore, if the luminous object that Zhang Huan saw was a fragment of the meteorite, it might be the only fragment of the explosion.
But the strange thing is that it has now 'escaped'!"
"When the explosion occurred, there should be a surveillance camera that captured it, right?" Gao Tianjun asked the police station director, "I want to take a look."
The director immediately called up a file on the computer and opened it while saying: "We have a total of 27 monitors that captured the scene of the meteorite explosion. Among them, 5 of them captured the explosion directly in the air, and the other 18 were on the street.
And the picture in the store. Which angle do you want to see?"

"Just look at the ones who caught the explosion in the air!"
However, Gao Tianjun watched all five surveillance videos and did not see anything worthy of scrutiny. The images were originally blurry and faced with strong light, so it was even harder to see the details. Just when he
When I was about to give up, Isen's voice suddenly came from behind my head:
"There is something else in the sky!"
"What did you see?" Gao Tianjun turned back and stared at Aisen and asked.
"I didn't see it. But... I seemed to hear Ai Bin's voice just now. He told me that there was something else in the sky!"
"Ai Bin?! Did you hear Ai Bin speak?" Gao Tianjun suddenly realized that he was a little out of control and quickly stopped talking.
"Who is Ai Bin?" Yuan Gang asked Gao Tianjun alertly.
Gao Tianjun smiled bitterly and said: "He is not here. You can find him in the report materials of our '601' office."
"Chelyabinsk!" Eisen murmured again.
"Chelyabinsk... Chelyabinsk... Oh! Chelyabinsk!" Gao Tianjun clenched his fists and said excitedly to the people and director of CSDA, "Ai Bin is reminding us! Let's go again
Check the surveillance video carefully!"
After careful inspection, he still didn't see anything abnormal in those videos. Gao Tianjun subconsciously looked at Eisen and thought, how could he mention Chelyabinsk?
A few hours later, a bearded man in his 50s came to the police station. He claimed to be a photographer for a well-known travel magazine. He provided a video to the investigation team. He said that before the incident, he
He was on a small hill about ten kilometers away from Arctic Village, planning to take pictures of the beautiful scenery of ice and snow at sunset. After the meteorite appeared, he instinctively pointed the camera lens at it and took a complete video... p>
