Chapter 10 Endless Void
"The Mengcheng Observatory is a professional astronomical observatory with a history of 20 years. It has the world's leading astronomical telescope and can clearly see the M-58 star in the Messier catalog galaxy. Everyone is welcome to visit."
Li Mo read the planetarium's flyer carefully. There was a long queue in front of the telescope. It seemed that everyone was here for the newly installed telescope.
In fact, when you use an astronomical telescope to look into space during the day, you can only see the sun, but this does not seem to affect the enthusiasm of the people in Montreal.
Hearing a young couple who had just stepped off the telescope say that they had just seen the Altair and the Vega, Li Mo found it funny. The book records that Vega, also known as Vega or α Lyrae, is the star in the constellation Lyra.
The brightest star, about 25 light-years away from the earth. Due to its extremely high rotation speed, it has an obvious oblate spheroid shape, and its equatorial radius is 19% larger than its polar radius. It can be clearly seen at night in the northern hemisphere.
The key is that it is daytime now, and it is impossible to see Vega with an ordinary astronomical telescope. Li Mo smiled and shook his head.
Finally it was their turn. Chen Shuxian gave up the stargazing position to Li Mo, but Li Mo did not refuse. He knew that it was impossible to see any stars under the current brightness.
He just wanted to take a look at the alien's hometown in his mind. He calculated the position of the galaxy in his mind and determined the direction of the emission nebula in space. Li Mo manipulated the telescope and looked over. Sure enough, there was nothing. The light of the sun blocked everything.
. He was a little disappointed. He turned the telescope and looked around in space, hoping to see a bright spot, but there was still nothing.
The camera pans across the sky, looking toward a carefully chosen location in the universe.
"Danger Detected...Danger..."
"Urgent activation of emergency plan..."
"Increase quantum wave transmission power..."
Li Mo heard the sharp noise again. He couldn't bear it and squatted on the ground covering his head.
"Alarm cleared..."
"Alarm cleared..."
The noise receded like the tide.
"Pajero! Pajero!" He knew it was the alien in his head that was responsible.
"Come out, why are you doing this?" Li Mo shouted in his heart.
The big-headed Pajero appeared in the gray fog, shaking his huge head and looking a little tired.
"When you look into the void, the void is also staring at you." The Pajero man said something incomprehensible.
"????" Li Mo didn't know the meaning of the Pajero's words.
"Human beings on earth are always inexplicably optimistic about the universe, or they lack awe of the universe."
Did he mean that the ignorant are fearless? Li Mo thought to himself.
"The universe is so big, we Pajero people have only explored one billionth of it. According to our estimation, there are about 2 trillion galaxies and 200 trillion planets in the universe."
"There are hundreds of millions of civilizations on these planets." The Pajero revealed an astonishing number.
"Since the Pajero civilization entered the third-level civilization, we began to explore the entire water droplet galaxy. We found that there are many first-level civilizations and second-level civilizations in the entire water droplet galaxy. The Pajero people are very excited. They are no longer alone in the universe.
And happy."
It seems that this Pajero guy with the big head is giving me a Pajero history lesson, Li Mo thought to himself.
"Initially, we tried to get along with each other in a friendly manner, teaching each other various Pajero technologies and providing technological routes, but something unexpected happened. Those low-level civilizations launched attacks on us one after another."
"Isn't this the dark forest theory?" Li Mo couldn't help but interject. Although he doesn't like studying, he loves reading science fiction novels.
He is familiar with the dark forest theory in science fiction novels. The universe described in the novel is a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun, sneaking in the forest like a ghost, gently pushing aside the branches that block the road, trying his best not to
Let his footsteps make a little sound, and even his breathing must be careful: he must be careful, because there are hunters like him everywhere in the forest. If he finds other life, there is only one thing he can do: shoot and eliminate it.
"This is a truth that the Pajero civilization has only to understand after paying the price of countless blood. I didn't expect that in the first-level civilization of the earth, someone could foresee the picture of cosmic civilization. It is really not easy!" Pajero people praised.
"Since then, the Pajero people have changed their strategies. The alien civilizations that encountered Pajero have disappeared into thin air."
The big-brained Pajero omitted thousands of years of conquest history in just one sentence.
"I just used a telescope to peek into space, and there was nothing in the starry sky I looked at." Li Mo was not convinced by the Pajero people's excuses.
"Information will not be annihilated. When your sight falls in space, it will inevitably leave traces."
"Especially the endless void in the universe, where there is nothing and nothingness, that is the most terrifying thing." The Pajero man mentioned the endless void, his expression full of fear.
"Then there are so many people using astronomical telescopes to observe space every day, how come they are okay?" Li Mo still couldn't understand.
"Are you an ordinary person? Can ordinary humans on earth kidnap our entire Pajero civilization?" The big-headed Pajero man was a little angry at Li Mo's retort.
Every time Li Mo heard this big head mention "kidnapping the entire Pajero civilization", he felt inexplicable.
"Did you know? In order to block your casual glance at the void, we Pajeros have consumed the energy of a star." The big-headed Pajeros were a little angry.
"The Pajero star is emitting a nebula, which is 5,000 light years away from the earth. How could you respond so quickly?" Li Mo felt that there was a big loophole in his words.
"You still underestimate the wisdom of a civilization that is about to enter Level 5. Time, a factor that measures the universe, has failed in the face of dimensional civilization?" He looked at Li Mo like an ant.
"But you can't attack me in this way. If it happens again, I will not cooperate with your learning assistance system." Li Mo used his killer weapon.
The Pajero nodded reluctantly.
The gray fog dissipated, and Li Mo opened his eyes. He saw the crowd of people watching around him, and Chen Shuxian was lying on top of him in the rain, looking at him.
Seeing that Li Mo had woken up, Chen Shuxian stood up awkwardly, straightened her clothes, and blushed. There was concern in her eyes.
"I'm fine. Maybe I'm too tired from reading these days." Li Mo made an excuse, "Let's go back, I'm a little tired today." Chen Shuxian nodded.
On the bus, Li Mo looked at the hurried pedestrians on the roadside through the window. Are people really like ants? A hundred years of life, after a hundred years, it will be just a handful of loess. Unwilling to give up, he thought about the endless stars in the universe.
It holds endless secrets. What a pity it would be if we couldn't explore them.
There is a pair of unfamiliar shoes at the door of the house. Are there guests at home?
"Li Mo is back, sit down quickly, your teacher Zhang is here." Li Mo's mother saw him coming back and greeted him quickly.
Li Mo came to the living room and saw his class teacher, Teacher Wang, sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup in his hand, looking embarrassed.
There was a box of tea on the table. There were four words printed on the box - "Century Maojian", and an old man with a white beard was printed next to it. Li Mo had a headache. "Century Maojian" is the only box of tea in the family.
My mother bought it at a high price from a square dancing friend. The dancer told her that this kind of tea is the best in the world. It is made from uninhabited mountain cloud tea tips and brewed for hundreds of years. It is not sold in the market at all. This sentence
It was indeed true, no one bought this kind of tea in the market. But her mother believed in her dancer's words and would bring out this "100-year-old tea" every time she had guests.
"Ah, Li Mo is back. The teacher is here mainly for a home visit. The new semester is about to begin. I want to ask about your study plan." Teacher Zhang was very happy to see Li Mo back, as if he had been liberated. Li Mo
I know that most people can't stand his mother's enthusiasm.
"We, Li Mo, have been reading books these days. Only today did we go to the planetarium with our classmates."
"That classmate is from your class, her name is Chen Shuxian, don't you think so, Li Mo?" When asked about his study status, Li Mo's mother took the initiative to answer for him.
"Did you go to the planetarium with Chen Shuxian? That's good. I didn't forget to broaden my horizons during the summer vacation." Teacher Zhang praised. Sure enough, good students do everything right.
"I've already explained everything that needs to be explained, so I won't bother you. I have a few students to go to their homes." Teacher Zhang stood up and left. It seemed that Li Mo's mother's skills had improved again.
"Li Mo, send Teacher Zhang to me." Li Mo's mother was busy putting away her "100-year-old tea". The tea will get damp if it is taken out for a long time.
"Last time you talked about writing a paper on the phone, how was it going?" After leaving Li Mo's house, Teacher Zhang stopped and asked. In his opinion, although Li Mo's academic performance is average, he is not the kind of person who can do it well.
Mischievous children.
"It has been written and the paper has been mailed out. I chose Mathematics Monthly." Li Mo answered truthfully.
