Chapter Ninety-Three: The Great Artist
Bidding farewell to this Yamamoto classmate who was a little depressed, Zhang Yuan floated in mid-air, quietly in a daze.
In the Library of Stars, you can look up and see the starry sky. There is silence, and you can only feel extreme tranquility.
This feeling of solitude is good.
He had slowly grown accustomed to this light, weightlessness.
Due to the structure of the human body, the blood pressure in the brain is higher than usual when weightless, which can create a strange concentration.
It was a moment of pure reason, and nothing could disturb him.
Let's go.
He is trying to compare all the papers he has read one by one, absorb the essence of them, and come up with a better method.
This state is like a hunter in the forest, searching for clues of the prey over and over again.
Even though the forest had been searched countless times by countless hunters, he still searched tirelessly for what had been missed.
After thinking about it for four hours, he let out a long sigh.
I thought of a few improvements.
But the improvement plan is just an improvement, and it will not be a substantial improvement, nor is it a big result that he wants.
After calculating for a while, Zhang Yuan vetoed these plans by himself.
"No, still no......"
The frustration of this failure has become commonplace in recent months.
No wonder, that Ichiro Yamamoto wants to be a sociologist. At least "sociology", as long as you are willing to put in the effort, there is no problem with a water thesis.
Moreover, the discussion of the new civilization is so popular that even a large number of experts on the planet are frantically watering papers and making all kinds of suggestions as if they were the main builders of civilization.
"The starry sky, the sea of books is boundless. Sort out the old things around you, and don't forget what I looked like when I came...... The Etoile Library welcomes you next time. ”
Soft music suddenly rang out of the headphones.
Whenever this music plays, the library will close in half an hour.
Zhang Yuan raised his head and found that there was no one in the room, only him and a middle-aged man around him.
This middle-aged uncle's name is Erwin, and he is a well-known painter who is worth hundreds of millions on the earth.
As a result, when Erwin was at his peak, he made a different choice - he donated all his worth and left with the "Earth Era"!
The emergence of this choice made Erwin's popularity skyrocket again.
Artists always have to have something unique, otherwise how can it be called art? Personality and moral character are also a type of art.
However, after this period of contact, Zhang Yuan knew that this great painter was also confused by "inspiration".
"Mr. Erwin, what's the big deal?" When flying into the rail car, Zhang Yuan asked casually.
"There's no particularly good inspiration, and there's no good work." Erwin took his computer and handed it to Zhang Yuan.
A picture of the starry sky of "Lize 581g" was drawn by a computer.
Art is a thing that requires imagination and tension, it does not pursue reality, and it is completely different from real photography.
Zhang Yuan fixed his eyes and saw that in the glass-colored sky, an orange star was rising in the east, with two moons, one in the east and one in the west.
It was as if it was a world of hope.
"This is our future home planet?"
"Yes, imaginary home planet, but personally, I don't think it's a good drawing." Erwin replied.
Zhang Yuan watched it for a long time, and there was no particularly strong resonance.
He doesn't expect his future home planet to be as beautiful as Earth's, and he's even ready for an acid rain like Titan.
Of course, if this happens, people will have to choose another planet to log in. There is not only one planet in Gliese 581, there are at least six.
The second image is a photographic image of the Milky Way, with a silver plate in the center hanging in the sky like a silver ribbon. The stars are shining brightly, dazzling and abnormal.
Although the painting is very good, it always feels like something is missing.
Looking at the pictures one by one, Zhang Yuan smiled and teased: "Mr. Erwin, why can your masterpiece be sold so expensive?" Maybe my artistic attainments are too low, I really can't see the good or the bad. ”
"Your feelings are not wrong. I myself feel that these works are not very good, and they lack a kind of star air quality. Erwin shook his head and replied, "Why is it so expensive?" How do I know, maybe those who like to draw know more about art than I do, maybe it's for hype...... Anyway, if you draw a picture, those people will automatically add to the connotation of the painting. ”
Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing.
Erwin added, "But, before I reach Jupiter, I want to leave behind a masterpiece!" A real masterpiece! ”
The pinnacle of the starry sky art picture of mankind is Van Gogh's "Starry Night", precisely because that oil painting is so shocking that it completely surpasses the entire era.
Any artist who paints the Milky Way has to take into account the pressure of comparison with Van Gogh.
Although Erwin is a famous painter, it is still difficult to compare with the famous Van Gogh.
"Perhaps, you are watching the universe too much." Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, the real universe is like this......"
He tapped his finger on the edge of the black screen, and a white dot appeared there.
The level is not very good, the point is crooked.
And then there was no more, it was completely black on the outside, only this lonely, dull white dot that shone a little.
Whether it is the total amount of matter in the universe or human cognition, this white dot is already all there is, and there is nothing else.
In all kinds of worlds, there are always some lonely souls, and there are always things that cannot be solved.
This is Zhang Yuan's perception of nature in the past few months, what we have, compared with what we have not had, is too little and too little.
Erwin inexplicably felt that pure emotion.
He was silent for a while, and said faintly: "I don't know why, I think you are the great artist?" Or...... Don't do scientific research, learn to draw with me. ”
Zhang Yuan was ashamed to say: "Haha, every scientific researcher wants to grasp the true essence of nature. In fact, this essence is very abstract, and perhaps from the perspective of ordinary people, there is a kind of artistic beauty. ”
Erwin shook his head and said, "I'd love to copy your idea, it's almost certain that it's a good masterpiece, but alas, it belongs to you." Sometimes, simple doesn't mean bad, and simple is actually brilliant......"
Zhang Yuan laughed again: "Perhaps, this idea can be given to you, only the white dots drawn by your own hands can be sold at a really high price!" And the white dots I draw can only be thrown into the trash. ”
