Chapter 340: The Sword of the Hanging Top
Under the leadership of Bopodam, Yuan Chen and the others came to the tallest and most elaborate mushroom stone house in the entire oasis city, the Shaxing people seem to have a special preference for this kind of mushroom-shaped house, this should be regarded as the Shaxing people's palace or government office building. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yuan Haochen still clearly remembers the mushroom stone houses built by the Sand Star people in the earliest period, which were only made of stones and special clay stacks and polished, compared to the past, the Sand Star people's construction skills have made great progress now.
Surrounded by a number of relatively small mushroom stone houses, this government building on the Sand Star already looks quite imposing. However, if compared with the thousands of meters tall buildings of the Earth civilization, there is indeed a world of difference, and it is believed that the people of the Sand Star have already experienced the many ecological, agricultural and scientific research bases built on the Sand Star by the First Space City Group in the past ten years.
After showing the attitude of the Earth civilization towards them to Popodam and other Sand Star people, Yuan Haochen also reminded Popodam that although the probability of the crisis affecting Sand Star is extremely small, it is also necessary to prevent it, and gave some effective action suggestions.
Of course, the Sand Planetarians do not understand what gamma rays are, and perhaps in their minds, they are imagined as a violent ray.
After leaving the "Government Building" of the Sand Star, Yuan Haochen still had a matter on his mind, and he decided to visit his long-deceased friend, which was the common wish of almost all earthlings after arriving at the Sand Star.
The place where Lynn chose to rest for herself was both beautiful and poetic, and Yuan Haochen could immediately recognize it with her amazing memory that this was the place where she and Lynn met under the "sunset" when she was about to leave the Sand Star.
Revisiting the old place, it is inevitable to touch the scene and hurt the scene, Yuan Haochen clearly recalled the moment of the sunset more than 60 years ago.
On Sand Star, one can often see Alpha Centauri A and B approaching the bottom of the canopy and submerging the horizon one after the other. In fact, the "sunset" of the Sand Star is far more poetic than the sunset in the desert of the earth.
In my memory, it was still a sea of gravel that was completely dyed red by the "setting sun", but now, it has transformed into a turquoise plant, which glows with dazzling luster under the rendering of "setting sun".
Lynn's graveyard was built into a memorial plaza by the First Space City Group many years ago, and a statue of Lynn is placed in the center of the square. The statue is about 10 meters high, and is based on the image of Lynn when he left the earth, and the overall appearance is solemn, lifelike, and beautiful.
Yuan Haochen only glanced at it, and the face of Lynn back then appeared very clearly in his mind.
Like the simple tombstone that preceded it, Lynn's statue faces the location of the solar system, its neck slightly tilted, and its gaze reaches the vast sky.
At this moment, the sky seemed to be on fire, the golden glow was evenly sprinkled on the statue, and the azure lake was already bathed in red.
This situation and this scene are so similar to the present, but the two people looking at the "sunset" from afar, one is still alive, and the other has been transformed into a statue.
Looking at the statue of Lynn, Yuan Haochen remembered the promise he made when he left: he will definitely return to the Sand Star!!
Now it is indeed here, but the years are old, the youth is not there, human life is just a passing passenger in the universe, and those who should leave are gone, leaving regrets in vain.
"Lynn, it's nice to see you again!"
Yuan Haochen sat down by the lake and spoke silently to the statue as he did back then.
A gust of wind blew across the lake, shattering countless crimson rays, and the surface of the lake seemed to be sprinkled with red crystals, shining brightly.
"Although you have not waited for your compatriots from Earth in the end, you will live forever in the hearts of the world."
If it weren't for the damage caused by Lynn's physical health from the long hibernation, he would still have a chance to survive until the day the First Space City Group arrives on Sand Star. Of course, there are no assumptions about things in the world, and if Lynn was healthy, he wouldn't be forced to live on another planet.
Thinking of this, Yuan Haochen took a long breath and looked at the sparkling lake.
For the past few months, his mental condition has been in a state of high tension, and only now has he relaxed a little.
All this originated from the hanging sword that endangers human civilization, that is, the sword of Damocles that hangs above the neck of human civilization and may fall at any time.
(The sword of Damocles is derived from the ancient Greek legend that King Dionysius invited his friend Damocles to a banquet and ordered him to sit under a glittering sword suspended from a horse's mane. )
Based on the trajectory data of the rotation axis of star WR104 for nearly a century, the crisis research team has established an operational model, although this model cannot predict the specific time of the outbreak of the crisis, but it can provide a lot of prediction information for the earth's civilization.
If you boil down to one sentence, it is: aim, shoot!! What are you waiting for?
Just imagine, every minute and second of covering your ears and hiding in a corner waiting for a bomb to explode is unbearable.
"It's important to come, then, can you give the Earth civilization a little more time?" Yuan Haochen looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
For this reason, Yuan Haochen was very worried about the people who stayed on Earth, for fear that they would not be able to withstand the blow of this gamma-ray burst.
In addition, Yuan Haochen is also very worried about the third, fourth, and fifth space city groups that are still on the interstellar voyage. In particular, the Fifth Space City Group, which has only flown a distance of 1 light year.
Yuan Haochen seemed to have seen that the heavy, incomparably sharp, sharp sword hanging above his head, its hilt was only tied by a slender horse's mane, and it looked like it was about to fall at any time.
The sword of Damocles has many meanings for Yuan Chen.
First of all, it symbolizes a cosmic catastrophe that could befall the earth at any time! Secondly, it is also warning Yuan Haochen that how much power a person has, then how much responsibility he has to bear. You must always be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be extremely cautious about the serious consequences that may be brought at any time. Because every decision you make has the potential to have a great impact on the fate of human civilization.
This is also the reason why Hara insisted on promoting the interstellar immigration project, and even if the Space Group successfully arrived in the Alpha Centauri system, he still suggested that the space city should continue to be hidden behind the planet. (To be continued.) )
