Many creatures have been bred on this planet, intelligent beings coexist with various other creatures, civilization has developed to a certain height, but it is expected to be stuck at the tipping point for a long time before being stuck in the next stage of society.

On the basis of reaching the current level of civilization, the atmosphere of Cedras has hardly been polluted, and it is also because there is almost no air pollution that the night sky is so bright.

At night, the soft moonlight and starlight are enough to illuminate the eyes.

This kind of atmosphere is very friendly to astronomy enthusiasts, the stars are extremely clear, astrology is passed down as a part of the culture, and occasionally, you will see one or two avid stargazers pinching the day and running to the astronomical research station, because they think that since the government has an observatory here, then this must be the best observation point, according to national regulations, individuals can use their tools to observe the stars without interfering with work, without continuous harassment, with the permission of the research station staff, or directly with the government equipment here, as long as the staff allows。

And there is no doubt that the elderly researcher in this research station is a good person.

"Sure enough, even if I've read it many times in the book, it's better to read it with my own eyes when I get there. "Well, the aura of this gas giant is pretty good, it's beautiful. "If it weren't for the meteorites that are bound by its gravitational pull reflecting light, the other side of the gas giant would be a little darker, right?" ”

Yes, it was Albert and Cecilia, who had easily gotten permission from the only gray-haired old researcher here to use the station's telescope.

The old man's name, called Barnum, is a very good old-timer, kind and kind, but a little bit of chatter, a common problem of many old people, they always like to talk, a simple question, as long as it involves astronomy, Barnum always has to talk about it for a long time, he seems to regard astronomy as a lifelong hobby, and those explanations are quite a bit like the old priest pulling people into the mission.

But he doesn't hate it, the two barely have a common topic, and some topics that are not difficult can be talked about.

"If I'm correct, you've seen [AW-926] twice, right?"

Albert blessed his eyes with a magic spell to make the [Eli] planet clearer in his eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, it has been recorded twice by astrologers since the founding of the country. ”

"It runs very slowly, it takes two hundred and twenty years to take a cycle, and there was once a debate about whether this solid planet orbiting Eli should be considered a planet or an asteroid, but according to the gravitational slingshot effect that is now recorded, it will eventually be thrown out and start a journey with an uncertain future, and [AW-926] itself is very small, so it is characterized as an asteroid, the last time it appeared was five years ago, and the ID card on your chest marked two hundred and thirty years of service, do a addition and subtraction, you must have seen it." ”

"You know?" "Ah, he's always read a lot of books. ”

Cecilia put one hand on his shoulder and [shared the perspective] with him, covered her left eye with the other, and responded casually: "Basically, as long as he is interested, he will take a look." ”

They were still looking at the starry sky, with the help of this device, and there were other rooms around them, there was a circular iron door on the white floor indicating the existence of underground space in the building, there were three doors on the walls of the white cylindrical dome building, and it was impossible to know what was behind the door, several bookshelves embedded in the wall were full of books, three at the bottom, three at the top, overlapping each other, and under normal circumstances there should be a ladder here, because it was impossible for a human hand to reach two meters away, but there was no here, because it was not needed.

None of that was the right thing for them to move, and as two visitors who had been granted permission to use the equipment, all they could do was look at the stars with an astronomical telescope.

None of them are unruly people, and the purpose of this time is just to see what they can see.

"It's good to read more. The old man smiled and said, "As long as you read serious books, whether it is to cultivate sentiment or increase knowledge reserves, reading books is always beneficial." ”

"I think we should one day be able to see with our own eyes what tools someone uses to go to an alien planet. He gave up his place to her, turned his head and took out his notebook to draw what he had just seen, "The tail of that thing keeps breathing fire, and then the reaction force will carry the person sitting inside to push itself up." ”

"Well, thank you. She nodded: "That's enough for what I've seen this time, thank you for your permission." ”

"It's nothing, this thing wasn't mine, and since you're interested in the starry sky above you, I can't let you down. Barnum stood up and gave a wizarding salute, "Personally, I still want to believe that one day someone will find a way to fly into space, but I'm too old to have a chance to see that day, and I hope what you say will come true." ”

"Goodbye. "Goodbye. ”

The kind old man sat down again under the gaze of the two, took out his notebook, and picked up a cup of coffee, as if he was looking back at his previous records, starting to deduce again in his mind, checking himself again and again for mistakes, perhaps to deepen his impression.

Returning the salute, walking out of the research station, a white light leaked through the crack in the door of the research station's door, which was a common illumination technique, and then the light increased a little, and the rune group on the door began to twist, it became tight, it was a regular rune lock.

Beneath the foot was a rocky beach, and for whatever reason, the area on the top of the hill was not magically leveled, only a desolate stony field.

However, the road down the hill is still a standard smooth road.

The two began to talk about what they had just seen, and they were discussing what a rocket that could fly into the sky should look like.

Knowledge popularization and modern research tell people that the earth under their feet is a sphere, and all kinds of stars in the sky are also spheres, in fact, they are all very similar, so people in society have many visions and fantasies about landing on aliens and aliens, no matter what people in other countries are doing on the ground, what they think about the people here, they are looking up at the sky.

Although everyone knows that the actual alien landing must be many years away, and most civilians are more willing to think about what to eat tonight than to look to the future.

Some disaster novels about aliens are the product of this kind of fantasy, but those fantasy things, there are some, well... The style of painting is wrong.

The little green man fantasized by the people on the science side must be on the technology side, and the little green men imagined by the people on the magic side are of course on the magic side.

Now imagine in your mind a picture of a huge silver or black disc suddenly appearing above a large number of skyscrapers, and then a group of little green men sitting on the landing pod on the ground chanting spells, waving magic wands, and killing all directions, can you imagine a group of little green men wearing magic robes, wearing magic hats, waving magic wands, and riding all kinds of strange magic pets?

Anyway, Albert couldn't stop the sense of disobedience when he was watching, and he had to stop and take a breath when he read both lines, so that his three views could be slowed down.

Everybody else takes it for granted, and in general, cultural differences are a wonderful thing, and you never know what else it could be.
