Chapter 2 Chapter two

Mercury hides in the brilliance of the sun all year round, proudly rejecting human prying.This planet is very similar to the moon. The surface is full of craters and fan-shaped tongue-shaped cliffs. Among them, the Kuiper crater has a diameter of 40 kilometers, and the radiation pattern extends to 100 kilometers. There are also some large narrow valleys as long as 100 kilometers. .Its rotation period is 59 days, and its revolution period is 88 days. The temperature can reach as high as 427°C and as low as -173°C. There is no atmosphere.For any life, such conditions are too harsh. For billions of years, Mercury has always maintained its original appearance, only the "Sea of ​​Rain" has changed since July 30, 2040.Also known as the Calorie Basin, it is the hottest place on Mercury.The diameter of the basin is 1300 kilometers, and there are many mountains and cracks distributed in concentric circles.Just at the center of the concentric circles, a huge spaceship with a strange shape suddenly stopped.Its size is equivalent to that of an aircraft carrier on Earth, and it is formed by connecting several cylindrical shapes horizontally and vertically.This is exactly the Kryptonian spacecraft that Mr. Karp has denied.

The spaceship is within a huge force field. This invisible hemispherical wall traps an atmosphere whose composition is similar to that of the earth's atmosphere.Against the background of the surrounding vacuum, this transparent hemisphere acts like a low-magnification lens, slightly distorting the surrounding scene. The landform inside the hemisphere remains the same, but outside the hemisphere is devastated.Craters have been flattened, nuclear flames have melted rock to create a smooth crust, and shallower cracks have been filled.The earth government once conducted a sneak attack here, using the most powerful weapons on earth.As a result, all 10 KF-type space cruisers were buried on Mercury, and their wreckage was scattered around Imbrium.

The K-star spacecraft was safe and sound. Now, the dead silence of the past has been restored here.Only a circle of eyes watched indifferently.A circle of eyes, a total of eight, they belong to the same individual, under the big oval head are four flexible arms and legs, all of which are imprisoned in a soft round follicle. The follicle floats, wriggles, moves outside the spaceship, its eight eyes looking up into the sky.In the vacuum outside the force field, a strange small hole suddenly appeared, and colorful halos spewed out from the hole, wave after wave, and powerful beams of radiating light passed through the ring.Then, all of a sudden, a human body fell from the space-time wormhole, and landed smoothly on the force field, with a miserable green haze of light surrounding him.

The Kryptonian opened the force field, and the body passed through the invisible wall and landed smoothly on a high platform.Then, a huge straw protruded from the spaceship and stopped above the body.With the uniform humming sound, the light mist around the body becomes thicker and thicker, and then the light mist is sucked into the straw to form a funnel-shaped light flow.After the light and mist disappeared, the body also disappeared, leaving no trace. After a while, the mist spit out from the straw again, accumulated on the high platform, getting thicker and thicker, and finally restored an identical body.The light green mist still enveloped him, he slowly floated up, flew into the sky through the wall of the force field, and entered that strange space-time wormhole again.

The man will still return to the place where he was taken.The time experienced on Mercury does not exist for him, only the time of being sucked into the light hole - being spit out of the light hole will be reflected, making his watch three minutes slower than others. The Kryptonians watched the body disappear before manipulating the soft follicles back into the spaceship.
