1766 The bent Osmanthus in the Moon Palace (19)

Zhang Zian could recognize the Jade Rabbit, not because he was familiar with such high-tech detectors, but because of the small but very eye-catching five-star red flag on the Jade Rabbit. So far, this was the only detector that China had launched and landed outside of earth.

If he didn't have the red flag, even if he could recognize it as a probe, he wouldn't know which country it was made in. Could it have been left on the moon by the United States or the Soviet Union in the last century? after all, he wasn't a hardcore astronomy enthusiast.

He could recognize the Jade Rabbit, but the elves didn't know what it was. They surrounded it and sized it up curiously, but they didn't dare to get close because this guy's appearance was too strange.

The Jade Rabbit was very clean because there was no air on the real moon, so there was no sand or dust. Even though it had been transferred to this Holiday Challenge stage by the game, it had always stayed in this single room. There was no dust, and it was impossible for it to rust. It did not look like it had been on the moon for so long. Even if it had been on the moon for many years, it would still be the same.

Its body was very smooth and had a very high reflective ability. It reflected light like a mirror in order to avoid the high temperature that could damage the internal equipment and precision instruments due to the direct sunlight during the day on the moon.

In the eyes of the elves, it was nothing more than a strange-shaped piece of iron with six wheels and a plate-like thing on top that seemed to be able to turn.

Zhang Zian briefly told the elves about the origin of the Jade Rabbit, as well as the series of stories that had happened around it.

The Jade Rabbit arrived on the moon on December 15th, 2013. It was originally expected to be in service for three months, but it only stopped working on July 31st, 2016. It no longer responded to the calls of humans and fell into a deep sleep.

During this period, it took a lot of photos about the moon, the earth, and the starry sky. It also did a lot of scientific research, analyzing the thickness and composition of the moon's soil, exploring the moon's minerals, and drawing geological profiles.

Its predecessors in the United States and the Soviet Union had done similar things. Some probes had even brought rocks from the moon back to Earth. In comparison, the Jade Rabbit's greatest achievement was that it had temporarily set the Chinese's attention on the stars. It had temporarily freed the Chinese from their daily concerns and focused on the stars and the unknown. Even if a Chinese child developed a great interest in the stars, they might become the one who changed the world in the future.

Therefore, the historical significance of the Jade Rabbit to modern China could not be exaggerated.

The Jade Rabbit had successfully completed its historical mission and was gradually forgotten by people. After all, there was a lot of eye-catching news every day, such as a star cheating, a new iPhone release, a new low in marriage rate, the birth of another internet celebrity, and so on. Perhaps only during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year would people occasionally remember that there was an unusual Jade Rabbit alone on the moon, looking at its hometown from afar.

However, bringing the Jade Rabbit back to Earth was an unrealistic idea at the moment. After all, it weighed 140 kilograms. Sending a spacecraft to land on the moon and bring it back was not as valuable as bringing moon rock and soil of the same weight. Every gram of payload was precious in space. If he had brought back this useless piece of metal, he would definitely have been criticized for wasting money and manpower.

Therefore, in the foreseeable future, unless a miracle happened, the Jade Rabbit would remain on the moon.

Zhang Zian couldn't help but look at the new version of "pet Hunter" in a new light. He didn't expect to design a very meaningful Holiday Challenge. It didn't set an ordinary elfin as the mission target, but gave it a more noble color. It faintly had the feeling of surpassing the small and completing the big.

However, there was a problem. The lunar rover was very heavy. Even in the Moon Palace, carrying it with a weight of 140 kilograms was equivalent to carrying an object of about 24 kilograms on earth. Furthermore, it was squarish in shape, with wheels and a radar. It was very difficult to carry it or carry it on your back. If you were not careful, you could damage its appearance.

How was he going to bring it back?

Just as he was worrying, he heard an earth-shattering sound coming from the entrance of the palace.

"Sister E! Where are the people who bullied you? I'm going to cut them up alive!"

Wu Gang's voice was like a great Bell, and his roar reverberated repeatedly in the palace.

"I have it! Not only did they bully me and let your Rabbit Run away, but they also shamelessly stole our things!" Chang 'e screamed.

Steal your things? Do you think the Jade Rabbit is yours? Who was the one who was so shameless?

Wu Gang broke through the front door of the palace, held his giant axe upside down, and rushed into the palace. He was striding toward the room where Zhang Zian and the others were.

Old time tea, famous, and Fati followed closely behind. They had tried their best and had many bruises all over their bodies. However, the difference in strength and body size between the two sides was too great. In hand-to-hand combat, strength and body size were more important than agility and skill.

Once they entered the palace, old time tea and the others had even less room to use. They had no choice but to use their own agility and speed to surpass Wu Gang and follow Zhang Zian's scent to this room first.

"Zian, how is it?" "We can't stay here for long," old time tea said, panting."It's better to retreat!"

In order to fight against Wu Gang, Fati had prayed to God to make it bigger and stronger than usual, but it was still far from being Wu Gang's opponent.

Famous stuck out its tongue and was too tired to say a word.

"Just give me a little more time." Zhang Zian gritted his teeth and said.

"Zian, life and death are determined by fate. There's no need to force it." Old time tea said with an open mind. It knew that the Holiday Challenge was mainly because it was old. Although fina and the others had a limited lifespan, they were still young. It didn't want everyone to lose their lives here for it.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more urgent, he circled the Jade Rabbit anxiously. How was he going to move this big and heavy thing? He had passed all 81 difficulties, so was he going to fail at the last step before success?

Buzzzzzz!

The door of the room was kicked open by a giant foot, and Chang 'e and Wu Gang appeared side by side at the door.

"Keke! You bunch of disgraceful things! Don't even think about running away today, this Palace Master will use you as a sacrifice to the heavens!" Chang 'e stretched out her ten sharp claws gloomily.

Wu Gang raised his giant axe. After fighting with the three sprites for so long, he was still in high spirits."Sister er, I fell into a trap by mistake. I'll take revenge for you and chop them into meat paste!"

There was only one door in the room, not even a window. Zhang Zian and the Elfins were stuck in the room. He held his new phone tightly and tried to think of a solution. If there was really no other way, he could only admit defeat and request to withdraw from the challenge from the navigation elf.
