"These batches of children are really lucky, and the field trip is much more interesting than talking on paper."

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

Cosmology is a necessary subject for members of the new human civilization in primary and secondary school, and it is more enjoyable than Chinese and mathematics.

Of course, limited to the limitations of the body, everyone can only look in space during this trip, or feel the grandeur of the planet and the culture of the local civilization through the robot VR equipment, which is also a big pity.

There are many teachers who are reading out the "Alien Civilization VR Tourism Discipline Code", including but not limited to "do not disturb the life of the native civilization, abide by the folk customs of the indigenous civilization, abide by discipline, and do not make offensive and discriminatory actions...... and so on.

This series of humanistic activities has reached a series of agreements with the Taipu civilization. The current Tepu people can confirm that the humans have come here to play, and they wish that the humans would ask for more so that they can get more trading points. Various countries have invariably set aside some natural parks and large museums, and even forced some unknown stars to perform their own civilized programs.

"When I think about using VR equipment, I feel that there is a little less meaning."

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

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

There was also a large group of classmates in the back, giggling and playing, and some of them were still couples. This is their graduation trip, after which they will officially enter the society, and there will not be so many opportunities to have fun.

When you enter the society, your life is completely different from that of your student days. After entering the society, they will officially start working, and during interstellar voyages, they will take turns hibernating, and only when they reach a new planet will they wake up and reorganize their spacecraft.

If the sober period is different, friends and family will not be able to see each other for a long time.

This is also something that I did not realize when I was a student.

Children have children's troubles, adults have adults' worries, and no society is perfect. If everyone is not willing to work, where will a strong civilization come from?

In this way, the crowd was divided into two groups, one group to experience the robotic VR equipment, and the other group to prepare for the spacewalk.

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

Spacewalks are an important part of training space engineers, and as tourists, they are only here for sightseeing, and there are no special tasks, which can be regarded as the first time in their lives to get close to the planet.

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

Looking down from this angle, a planet is so big, it's incredible!

It just floated quietly in the dark universe, there were too many such blue planets in the universe, but it didn't affect the loneliness of this universe.

A girl's voice suddenly rang in the headphones: "When I was little, there was always a question. Why don't the planets floating in the universe fall? ”

"Haha, that's a stupid question...... Falling? In which direction? A boy said.

"If you fall, you fall! Just like a person walking, if your feet are suspended in the air, won't you fall? Where did you think so much when you were a child, didn't you think about it? ”

"Of course not, it's stupid!"

The number of people talking and chatting gradually decreased, Chen Zheng took a deep breath, the strong sense of excitement disappeared, and was replaced by a very strange loneliness, although he is a space mechanics major, and often spacewalks, but it is the first time to face such a big planet.

He didn't know where this feeling of loneliness and desolation came from, and why it was born......

This kind of extravehicular power armor has a joystick device propelled by gas, and whenever the astronaut wants to move in a certain direction, the corresponding position will eject gas to make the astronaut move. Due to its civilian use only, the device provides a maximum speed of three meters per second.

Man is really like an ant, no, just a paramecium in front of a planet.

And the planet is just a drop in the ocean of the universe. Every such planet of life is separated by more than a trillion kilometers, and even if they know each other's existence, there is a high probability that there is no way to communicate, how lonely it is.

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

"The telescope on the helmet can be adjusted in focus, so you can see what's on the ground! Our elementary school VR experience spaceship seems to have flown 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 surface of the planet.

The group began to look for interesting buildings on the surface again, this is the airboat base, there is the factory, and that area is the large swimming pool...... The people of Tepu are very fond of swimming, and there are many large swimming pools built in the building.

Also, that is the largest river on the planet, and due to the huge ocean and humid climate, this large river has three times the flow of the Amazon rivers on Earth.

That piece...... It is a 10,000-meter plateau created by the enlightened civilization!

Suddenly, a girl said, "Do you think that the whole planet is a bit like a large lifeform, with endless rivers and all kinds of life...... It's just that this life has no self-consciousness, but the cells that make up this body have self-awareness. ”

"You're talking about Gaia consciousness, right? I've studied this in particular, and I've written a science fiction ......."

"Really, what's the content?"

Chen Zheng said with a smile: "In my book, there is a 'group consciousness' character who looks like a dog, but they need several 'dogs' to combine to produce consciousness...... Haha, you understand, right? ”

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

The girl said, "Even if there were, it would be difficult for us to understand such creatures. ”

"It should be a life form one dimension higher than us in the time series, and our whole life is just a moment in it. We'll have emotions, but it's ...... There should be no emotion. ”

Chen Zheng suddenly thought about something, and made an expression of sudden realization: "This is wrong, this creature is easy to understand. In fact, we are not the protagonists of the universe, but the protagonists of the universe. ”

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 words -

"Civilization"!
