In the dense and limitless forest of the Great Green Mountain, Zhang Bin was walking with difficulty, sweat dripped from his body and the clothes on his back were soaked.
As he walked, he looked around for something.
Last night, when he was urinating on the side of the road, he could clearly see that a meteor had fallen towards the dense forest of the Great Green Mountain, and he even heard a loud, thunder-like sound.
Today he came here to dig up the meteorite, maybe he can sell it for a good amount of money.
Then he could treat his father’s illness, his mother would not have to sell his blood in secret, his sister would not be so thin and malnourished, and his family would not be sleeping in a destroyed house surrounded by the cold wind.
“I found!”
Zhang Bin suddenly gave an applause when he noticed that a dozen meters away in front of him, there was a green pine with a thick thickness, and its branches were obviously very broken and had fallen, probably broken by the meteorite.
He ran and looked around with wide eyes, and found a deep well in the ground, which was not very large in diameter, and smelled of burning.
Zhang Bin’s heart pounded and he raised his hoe to dig quickly.
For sure, something was dug up, and it turned out to be a beautifully crafted phone with a wide screen.
“Why isn’t it a meteorite?”
Zhang Bin was stunned and couldn’t help but press the bigger button on the side of the phone.
The sound of pleasant music sounded, and the screen quickly lit up and began to play a film on its own: the vast universe, the countless stars. A magnificent disk-like galaxy is exposed on the screen, and a planet like a duck egg slowly emerges from the image.
The planet is getting bigger and bigger, occupying the entire screen.
The camera expands more and more, and a large square on the planet gradually increases on the screen, and many people in strange costumes skillfully set up a machine that looked like a rocket.
The assembled pieces were strange, with lines of various colors carved on the surface, red, green, blue… Combined in bizarre patterns of great complexity.
Once assembled, they placed a cell phone in the rocket compartment, which turned out to be identical to the one in Zhang Bin’s hand.
Finally, they performed a grand ceremony to worship the heavens with songs and dances.
An old man in a red tunic, with a golden crown on his head and a majestic face, amid countless applause, activated the rocket switch, and the rocket exploded in a bright blue light, rising in the air, flying at the speed of light, and instantly coming out of the atmosphere, rushing into that disk-shaped galaxy…
I don’t know how many years have passed, the rocket almost penetrated half the galaxy, invaded Zhang Bin’s familiar solar system, then the rocket broke and exploded, the cell phone in the chamber under the effect of inertia, continued to fly, straight to Earth, sparks burst in the atmosphere, landed in the dense forest, then Zhang Bin appeared, digging up the image of this cell phone.
Instantly, a wave of excitement that was like an electric current, flowing frantically inside Zhang Bin. His body began to tremble constantly, and his tiger eyes exploded with burning light.
Now he sees that there is an Earth-like planet in the Milky Way with intelligent life living on it, and they are like astronomical scientists on Earth, probing the universe for habitable planets, looking for aliens, and then they detected Earth, and this one cell phone is the instrument that they launch to detect it.
“But what does this instrument do?”
Zhang Bin’s face was full of doubts, as he was surprised.
