Chapter 10 endless void

“Meng City Observatory is a 20-year-old professional observatory with world-leading The astronomical telescope can clearly see the M-58 star in the Messier Catalog galaxy. You are welcome to come and visit.”

Li Mo read the planetarium’s flyer carefully. There is a long queue in front of the telescope, and it seems that everyone is here for the newly installed telescope.

Actually, when you use an astronomical telescope to watch space during the day, you can only see the sun, but it doesn’t seem to affect the enthusiasm of the people of Meng City.

Hearing a couple who just walked off the telescope say that they just saw Cowherd and Vega, Li Mo finds it funny, the book records Vega, also known as Vega or Lyra α (α Lyrae), the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, about 25 light-years from Earth. Due to its extremely high rotational speed, it has a distinct oblate spheroid shape, with an equatorial radius 19% larger than the polar radius, and can be clearly seen at night in the northern hemisphere.

The point is that it’s daytime, and it’s simply impossible for an ordinary astronomical telescope to see Vega. Li Mo smiled and shook his head.

It was finally their turn, Chen Shuxian gave up the stargazing spot to Li Mo, and Li Mo didn’t give up. He knew that at this luminosity, it was impossible to see any star.

He just wanted to see the alien’s hometown in his head. The position of the galaxy is calculated in the mind, and the direction of the emission nebula in space is determined. Li Mo manipulated the telescope to look over, and sure enough there was nothing, the rays of light of the sun obscured everything. He was a little disappointed, and turned the telescope to look at random in space, expecting to see a bright spot, but there was nothing.

The camera pans across the sky, looking at a carefully chosen location in the universe.

“Dangerous Danger Detected”

“Emergency Response Plan.”

“Increase Quantum Wave Transmission Power”

Li Mo heard the high-pitched noise again, he couldn’t stand it anymore, and squatted on the ground with his head covered.

“Alarm cleared.”

“Alarm cleared.”

The noise subsided like a tide.

“Pajelu! Pajelu!” He knew it was the alien in his head.

“You come out to me, why are you doing this?” Li Mo shouted in the heart.

The big head Pajelu appeared in the gray fog. He shook his big head and looked a little tired.

“When you look at the void, the void is staring at you.” Pajeluian said something unfathomable mystery.

“????” Li Mo didn’t know what Pajeluian’s words meant.

“Humans on Earth always have an inexplicable optimism about the universe, or a lack of reverence for the universe.”

Does he mean that ignoreance is a bliss ? Li Mo thought.

“The universe is so big that we Pajeluian have only explored 1/100,000,000. According to our speculation, there are about 2 trillion galaxies and 200 trillion planets in the universe.”

“There are hundreds of millions of civilizations on these planets,” Pajeluian confided a staggering number.

“Since the Pajelu civilization stepped into the Level 3 civilization, we have been exploring the entire Waterdrop Galaxy. We found that there are many Level 1 and Level 2 civilizations throughout the Waterdrop Galaxy. The Pajeluians are excited, they are no longer for themselves. Happy to be a loner in the universe.”

It looks like this big-headed Pajeluian is giving me a Pajelu history lesson, Li Mo thought.

“At first we also tried to get along with each other, teaching each other various Pajelu technologies and providing technological routes, but unexpected things happened, and those low-level civilizations attacked us one after another.”

“Isn’t this the Dark Forest theory?” Li Mo couldn’t help but interject. Although he doesn’t like to study, he likes to read science fiction.

He is familiar with the Dark Forest theory in science fiction. The universe described in the novel is a Dark Forest. Every civilization is a hunter with a gun, stealth in the forest like a ghost, gently pushing aside the branches in the way, trying not to let the footsteps make a little sound, even breathing must be Cautiously: He must be careful, because there are hunters as stealth as he is everywhere in the forest, and if he finds other life, there is only one thing he can do: shoot and destroy.

“This is the truth that Pajelu civilization has paid the price of countless blood to understand. didn’t expect that in Earth, a Level 1 civilization, someone could foresee the picture of cosmic civilization. It’s really not simple!” Pajeluian exclaimed.

“Since then, Pajeluian has changed its strategy. The alien civilizations that encountered Pajelu have been disappeared.”

The big-headed Pajeluian omitted the thousand-year war history in a short sentence.

“I just peeked into space with a telescope, and there was nothing in the starry sky I was looking at.” Li Mo was not convinced by Pajeluian’s excuse.

“Information will not be annihilated. When your sight falls in space, it will definitely leave traces.”

“Especially the endless void in the universe, where Nothing, nothingness, that is the most terrifying.” Pajeluian mentioned endless void, his expression full of fear.

“Then there are so many people using astronomical telescopes to observe space every day, why are they all right.” Li Mo still couldn’t understand.

“Are you an ordinary person? Can ordinary Earth humans kidnap our entire Pajelu civilization?” The big-headed Pajeluian was a little angry at Li Mo’s rebuttal.

Every time Li Mo hears the big head talking about “kidnapping the whole Pajelu civilization”, he finds it inexplicable.

“You know what? We Pajeluian drained a star’s energy to shield you from casual glances into the void.” The big-headed Pajeluian was a little pissed.

“The Pajelu star is emitting a nebula, 5,000 light-years away from Earth, how can you react so quickly?” Li Mo felt that there was a big hole in his words.

“You still underestimate the wisdom of a civilization that is about to enter Level 5. Time, the factor for measuring the universe, has become invalid in the face of dimensional civilization?” He looked at Li Mo like an ant.

“But you can’t attack me in this way. If there is another time, I will not cooperate with your study aid system.” Li Mo took out the ultimate weapon.

Pajeluian reluctantly nodded.

The gray fog dissipated, and Li Mo opened his eyes. Seeing the crowd around, Chen Shuxian weeping beauty leaned on top of him and looked at him.

Seeing that Li Mo woke up, Chen Shuxian got up awkwardly, tidied up his clothes, and blushed. There was concern in his eyes.

“I’m fine, maybe I’m too tired to read in the past few 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 side of the road through the window. Are people really like ants? A hundred years of life, after a hundred years, only a handful of loess. Not reconciled, thinking that there are endless secrets in the endless starry sky in the universe. What a pity it would be if it couldn’t be explored.

A pair of unfamiliar shoes stood in front of the house. Is there a guest at home?

“Li Mo is back, sit down quickly, your teacher is here.” Li Mo mother saw him back and greeted him quickly.

Li Mo came to the living room and saw his head teacher, Teacher Wang, sitting on the sofa with a teacup in his hand, looking embarrassed.

There is a box of tea leaves on the table with four characters – “Hundred Years Maojian” printed on the box, and a white-bearded old man beside it. Li Mo had a headache. As the only box of tea in the family, “Hundred Years Maojian” was bought by Li Mo mother at a high price from a dancer who danced square dance. The dancer told her that this kind of tea is the top grade in the world. It selected the tip of the uninhabited mountain cloud mist tea and was brewed for a hundred years. There is no one sold in the market at all. This is indeed the truth. No one buys this kind of tea in the market at all. Her mother, however, believed the dancer’s words very much, and brought out the “century-old tea” every time she came to a guest.

“Ah, Li Mo is back, teacher is here mainly for home visits. The new semester is about to start, ask about your study plan.” Zhang teacher was very happy to see Li Mo back, so he like liberation. Li Mo knew that ordinary people couldn’t stand his mother’s enthusiasm.

“We Li Mo have been reading books for the past few days, and only today did I go to the planetarium with my classmates.”

“That classmate is from your class, his name is Chen. Shuxian, do you mean it, Li Mo?” Li Mo’s mother took the initiative to answer for him when he asked about his studies.

“With Chen Shuxian? You went to the planetarium together? Very well, I didn’t forget to broaden my horizons during the summer vacation.” Zhang teacher praised, and sure enough, good students do everything right.

“I’ve explained everything that needs to be explained, so I won’t bother. I still have a few students to go home.” Zhang teacher got up to leave, it seems that Li Mo mother’s skills have improved again.

“Li Mo, send me a teacher.” Li Mo mother was busy putting away her “Centennial Tea”, which will get damp after taking it out for a long time.

“The last time you talked about writing a paper on the phone, how was your writing?” Zhang teacher asked after leaving Li Mo’s house. In his opinion, although Li Mo has average academic performance, he is not the kind of child who can play pranks.

“It has been written and the paper has been mailed out. I chose Mathematical Monthly.” Li Mo answered truthfully.

“. That’s good.” Zhang teacher’s expression was startled, but he didn’t say anything.
