20,000 square kilometers, this is a huge number, Su Yichen and Wan Changchun couldn't help but look at each other, they never thought that this place would be so vast, if you add the ocean that Lin Jia saw, maybe this final number will be multiplied many times.
Extremely shocked welled up from the bottom of their hearts, Su Yichen and Wan Changchun couldn't imagine who built such a big world, and it could be seen from Lin Jia's subsequent records that Lin Jia was also suspicious of the source of this "world", but he couldn't draw conclusions without any evidence.
The next records are relatively boring, basically Lin Jia's exploration records in this world, which have a lot of data records on geology, plants, including soil, but in these records, Lin Jia also wrote that according to his professional point of view, many questions have this inexplicable singularity, in addition to artificial factors, it is absolutely impossible for nature to produce this kind of landform phenomenon, which is also the side that Lin Jia cannot answer.
About a month later, when the notebook records reached July 20, Lin Jia finally returned to the place where he had appeared, that is, the grassland near the two giant trees. Standing under the giant tree, Lin Jia looked up with complicated eyes, his expression full of doubt.
"I took out a fruit from my satchel, it was plucked from a giant tree, and after a month, it did not rot, and it did not look like an ordinary fruit that had been left for a long time, and the surface gradually lost its moisture and became crumpled. On the contrary, its surface is still smooth as night, and even because it has been left for a long time, it still exudes an attractive aroma, which smells so good that I have the urge to take a bite and taste it. Eventually, I thought about it and decided to take a bite and try it, because in this world I found that there is no one but myself, and the loneliness and loneliness of a person can make people crazy, and it is better to taste the fruit before I die, even if it is poisonous, it is just for me to be freed sooner.
But when I took a bite of the fruit, I was a little surprised by the taste of the fruit, which was not unpalatable, and even tasted very good, with a strong sweetness in the fragrance, and the taste was no different from that of an apple, and even more delicious than any kind of apple I had ever tasted.
After eating the fruit in a few bites, I lay quietly on the grass with my hands behind my head and looked up at the huge canopy. I don't know if this fruit will kill me, but now that I think it's unlikely, let me rest for a while, and maybe sleep and either never get up again or wake up again.
I don't know how long I slept because my watch broke inexplicably the other day, probably because of the magnetic field here, and I couldn't find a tool to fix it in this place, so I had to estimate the time based on experience. When I woke up, my mind was a little foggy, not because I ate the fruit, of course, because I had a strange dream, in which I dreamed of a familiar celebrity, this person whose name most people in the world have heard of is the famous Newton.
Legend has it that Sir Newton was lying under an apple tree in Cambridge thinking about the problem, and he was hit on the head by a ripe apple before he discovered the law of gravitation. Why did I suddenly have this strange dream? Could it be that the fruit I ate before tasted a little like an apple? It made me feel a little funny, but as I sat on the grass and laughed like a fool, suddenly a hypothesis popped up in the depths of my mind, and it stunned me all at once, and as a researcher, I don't know how I could have such a strange idea. Is it really crazy? ”
Looking at the two giant trees and the red fruits hanging from them, I suddenly thought of apples. However, this apple is not the same as an ordinary apple, but a kind of "apple" that everyone in the West knows.
If there is any famous apple known to mankind, it is definitely not the apple we usually eat, but the most famous apple is of course the apple from the two apple trees in the Garden of Eden described in the Bible.
Although I was a materialist, my grandmother was a very devout Christian, and when I was a child, when I was enlightened, my grandmother, who could not read, would often hold my hand and ask me to help her read the Bible, until the year of my grandmother's death when I was 14 years old. So, I'm no stranger to the content of the Bible, and I remember the description of the Garden of Eden very clearly.
The Garden of Eden originally meant "paradise", but it also has another meaning in Latin, which is "the garden of locks". In the book of Genesis it is written, "The LORD God set up a garden in Eden in the east, and set the man he had made there, and the earth was sprinkled with gold, pearls, and agate, and trees grew out of the ground, and they were full of all kinds of strange flowers, and they were very beautiful; The fruit from the tree can also be used as food. And in the midst of the garden there was a tree of good and evil. There is also a river flowing in the garden, moistening the earth .......
This description is a mythological exaggeration, but I suddenly found out. Except for gold, pearls, and red agate, the rest are so similar to the "world" in which we live now. The Bible says: The Lord God set up a garden in Eden in the East, for the so-called "East" and "Eden" the place name, historians have always believed that it was in China, for this Western scholars, including theologians are basically the same, but it is strange that from the ancient Western documents, there was no interaction between the West and the East in ancient times, but why is the Bible so clear that the Garden of Eden will be in the East?
Let's just think that the Garden of Eden is in the East or China...... No! I think that the place where I am now is the legendary Garden of Eden, and if that were the case, then a large part of the world would be too similar to the legendary Garden of Eden.
The descriptions of the Orient, exotic flowers, rivers, forests, etc., are exactly the same, and the most important thing is the two trees of good and evil mentioned in the Bible, that is, the "forbidden fruits" that Adam and Eve stole and eat.
As for the description of the "forbidden fruit", a large part of later generations believe that the "forbidden fruit" refers to the apple, and the two trees of good and evil are also apple trees. So, if you equate the two incomparably huge and strange trees in front of you with the legendary tree of good and evil, then isn't this the legendary Garden of Eden?
Continuing with this line of reasoning, the Bible writes that Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden because they did not resist the temptation of the serpent* and thus disobeyed the command of the Lord God to steal the "forbidden fruit." Adam and Eve are called the ancestors of human beings in the West, Adam is male, and Eve is naturally female, but if we change the perspective and thinking, then can we think that Adam is just a generic name for male humans, and Eve is a generic term for female humans?
If this is the case, then is it possible to make a new bold assumption that the LORD God created a Garden of Eden in this place, and then created Adam and Eve, who refer to male and female human beings, and placed them in this world to live carefree? Later, however, for some reason, the LORD God expelled these humans from this world and returned them to the outside world. Just like when we do biological research, we first build an enclosed place for the animals, then observe them as spectators reproduce in it, and after all the research is done, the animals are released back into the ...... nature. ”
The Bible, including the myths it describes, has always been criticized in China as a "great poisonous weed", and according to the commonly used words, it belongs to feudal superstition. However, these are only for ordinary people, and it can even be said that there are not many people in Chinese mainland who can really understand the Bible at present.
However, Wan Changchun is different, you must know that Wan Changchun studied in a church school when he was a teenager, and he also went abroad when he was young, so he is no stranger to the content of the Bible. As for Su Yichen, although he has not read the Bible, but because of Luo Yan, in college, in order to exercise his foreign language skills, Su Yichen read and recited all of Shakespeare's works, and it can even be said that Su Yichen's understanding of these works has been familiar to the point that he can memorize them like a stream, not to mention that he also knows Latin, French and German, and when he reads a large number of original world classics, there are not a few descriptions of the Bible and the Garden of Eden in those works, so it is the same as Wan Changchun, He is no stranger to these either.
At this moment, Su Yichen and Wan Changchun couldn't help but glance at each other, and they also saw incomparable consternation from each other's gaze.
