Features: Dear little friends: You have before you a specially interesting science fiction storybook, A Journey to the Moon, recommended to you by Sister Ju Ping for reading. A Journey to the Moon tells an outlandish science fiction story. It is about a group of people fascinated by new-style cannons after the American Civil War, who, out of curiosity and a desire to explore the unknown world, decide to build an unparalleled cannon to launch a cannonball into space and onto the moon. After meticulous preparation, they successfully enter space, witnessing countless beautiful sights along the way but also facing countless risks. Due to calculation errors, and twice coming close to colliding with wandering meteoroids in space, the cannonball is affected by their gravity and does not follow the predetermined trajectory to the moon. Instead, it orbits the moon for a week before crashing back to Earth. The cannonball lands in the Pacific Ocean and is discovered by a surveying ship, where the three scientists are eventually rescued in time. Although the experiment does not fully achieve its goal, it is still considered a success. While the story may seem absurd today, the author Jules Verne approached its creation with great rigor. Whether in terms of astronomical knowledge or in physics, mathematics, and chemistry, he is extremely serious and cautious about the results he achieves. Therefore, when reading this book, little friends not only see many magical fantasies but also learn a great deal of knowledge in various fields. Well, Sister Ju Ping won’t say much here—let the little friends pick up the book and read and experience it for themselves!
