Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 410: The loneliness of a planet


  "These batches of children are really lucky. Traveling on the ground is much more interesting than talking on paper."

  Chen Zheng recalled his childhood, cosmology education can only look at the starry sky by the window, where is it interesting now, and can travel to other planets...

  Cosmology is a necessary course for members of the new human civilization in elementary and middle school. It is more enjoyable than Chinese and mathematics.

  Of course, due to physical limitations, everyone can only look in space during this trip, or experience the magnificence of the planet and the culture of local civilization through the robot VR device. This is also a big regret.

  Many teachers are reading the "Alien Civilization vr Travel Discipline Code", including but not limited to "Do not disturb the life of the local civilization, observe the folk customs and customs of the indigenous civilization, observe discipline, cannot be offensive or discriminatory Action..." Wait for a long list of regulations.

  This series of humanistic activities has already reached a series of agreements with Taipu civilization. Today's Taipu people can confirm that humans came here to play, and they hope that humans will ask more, so that they can get more trading points. Various countries have set aside some natural parks and large museums at the same time, and even compelled some unknown stars to perform their own civilized programs.

   "When I think of using a vr device, I feel less meaningless."

   "Come on, this is already very good, if you ** land on the planet, you have to lie on the ground."

   "Let's go, let's fly out and look at the whole planet." Lu Tao patted his buddy on the shoulder.

   There is a large group of classmates behind them, joking around, some of them are couples. This is their graduation trip, after which they will formally enter the society, and there are not so many opportunities for jokes.

   After entering the society, life is completely different from the life of a student. After entering the society, they will officially start to work. During interstellar voyages, they will take a round of hibernation. Only when they arrive at a new planet will they wake up and reorganize the spacecraft.

  If the waking period is different, relatives and friends will not be able to meet for a long time.

   This is also something that I never experienced when I was a student.

   Children have the troubles of children, and adults also have the troubles of adults. No society is perfect. If everyone is unwilling to work, where does a powerful civilization come from?

   Just like that, the crowd was divided into two batches, one to experience robotic VR equipment, and the other to prepare for space walks.

   "Let's go, it's our turn." Lu Tao put on his power armor, and said in the earphones a little nervously.

  Spacewalk is an important part of training space engineers. As tourists, they only come for sightseeing and do not have any special tasks. They can be regarded as the first time in their lives to get close to the planet.

   There was a slight "click" vibration, and several people passed the last airlock, and suddenly saw the huge light blue planet.

   Looking down from this angle, a planet is really too big and incredible!

   It just floats quietly in the dark universe. There are too many blue planets like this in the universe, but it doesn't affect the loneliness of this universe.

   A girl’s voice suddenly rang in the headphones: "When I was young, there was always a question. Why didn’t the planets floating in the universe fall?"

   "Haha, this question is so stupid...Fall? In which direction?" a boy said.

   "If you fall, you fall! Just like a person walking, if your feet hang in the air, don’t you fall? Where did you think so much when you were a kid, haven’t you thought about it?"

   "Of course not, you are so stupid!"

   There are fewer people talking and chatting. Chen Zheng took a deep breath. The excitement disappeared, and replaced by a strange kind of loneliness. Although he is a professional in space machinery, he often space walks, but still Faced with such a big planet for the first time.

   He doesn’t know where this feeling of loneliness and loneliness comes from, and why it was born...

   This kind of extravehicular power armor has a gas-propelled joystick device. Whenever the astronaut wants to move in a certain direction, the corresponding position will eject gas to make the astronaut move. Since it is only for civilian use, the maximum speed provided by this device is three meters per second.

   People are really like an ant in front of a planet, no, just like a paramecium.

   And the planet is just a drop in the ocean in the universe. Every such life planet is separated by more than one trillion kilometers. Even if they know each other's existence, there is a high probability that they will not be able to communicate. How lonely.

   After all, everyone is a college student, and they have received a lot of cosmic education, and they soon recovered from the original feeling of loneliness.

  "The focal length of the telescope on the helmet can be adjusted, so you can see things on the ground! Our primary school student VR experience spaceship seems to fly down..."

   "I found the tallest building on the planet!"

  Using the telescope that comes with the power armor, you can clearly see all kinds of things on the planet's surface.

   Everyone started to look for interesting buildings on the surface again. This is an empty boat base, there is a factory, and that area is a large swimming pool... The Taipu people like swimming very much, and all the large swimming pools built are exceptional many.

  Also, that one is the largest river on the planet. Due to the huge ocean and humid climate, the flow of this big river is three times that of the Amazon river on the earth.

   That piece... is the 10,000-meter plateau created by the Enlightenment civilization!

   Suddenly, a girl said: "Do you think that the whole planet is a bit like a large life body, a continuous river~ IndoMTL.com~ all kinds of life... It's just this life? Without self-awareness, the cells that make up this body have self-awareness."

  "You are talking about Gaia consciousness? I have studied this aspect in particular, and I have written a science fiction novel about it..."

   "Really, what's the content?"

  Chen Zheng said with a smile: "In my novel, there is a character of'group consciousness' that looks like a dog, but they need several'dogs' to be combined to produce consciousness. 'If you separate, there will be no consciousness. Gaia consciousness is similar to this combination, but it has a wider range...Haha, can you understand it?"

   "Hey, but is there really such a life form in the universe?"

  The girl said: "Even if there is, it is difficult for us to understand such creatures."

  "It should be a life body one dimension higher than us in the time series. Our whole life is just a moment of it. We have emotions, but it...should not have emotions."

   Chen Zheng suddenly thought of something, and made a suddenly realized expression: "You are wrong, this kind of creature is easy to understand. In fact, we are not the protagonist of the universe, it is the protagonist of the universe. Ah."

   Yes, flowers and trees, humans and animals, everything will wither, but this life will not. As long as the individual exists, it exists.

  This life only exists in the concept, and its official name is only two characters.

  "Civilization"!
