Chapter 20: Children of the Sun
It feels like you've become a swimming fish, and the night sky is the endless sea. Zhao Huasheng took his thoughts as his fins, constantly swimming in this sea of stars. Under this quiet night sky, beside the secluded and deep Lake Baikal, Zhao Huasheng's thoughts drifted far, far away.
"Watson, is there anything wrong with you?" After a moment of silence, Li Wei asked.
"Oh." Zhao Huasheng answered, and fell into silence again. Li Wei didn't speak again, but just quietly took Zhao Huasheng's arm into her arms, then turned sideways and leaned her head on Zhao Huasheng's shoulder.
"It may be difficult for non-astronomy or physics majors to appreciate the vastness of the universe and their own insignificance." Zhao Huasheng opened his mouth gently, "They may have heard many words such as "vast" and "small" from books, movies, and the Internet, but they will never have a real understanding of the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of human beings. ”
Li Wei didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"Our human civilization has developed a brilliant civilization from ancient times on this earthly land. You may not realize how much the first hominid man took the entire human civilization forward when he began to use stone knives or stone axes. After this, fire, bows and arrows, fishing nets, bronzes, and even later the Industrial Revolution, the invention of the steam engine, the discovery and utilization of electricity, the invention of computers, and atomic energy...... And so on and so forth. The discovery of every tool or principle has brought about a seismic change in human society. We've created art, we've created medicine, we've created all sorts of things that have never existed on Earth -- and probably never before in the universe. We certainly have reason to be proud of our own greatness. ”
"But the truth is, we're too small, too small." Zhao Huasheng sighed: "The universe is like an endless sea, and we are only scooping a scoop of water in this ocean now. ”
"Any star in this night sky is enough distance for us to spend our whole lives searching, and every darkness in this night sky hides mysteries that may not be explored until the end of our human civilization. We're so small, we're really too small. Your brother spoke to me before he died, and although I belong to the Heavenly Family, I still don't fully appreciate the mood of these words until now. ”
"Just like now. Stars in the universe are born and die, stars are born, spend their lives, and then explode, it's just a very common thing. This kind of thing happens all the time in the universe. Now, with less than 15 percent reduction in our solar radiation levels, our human civilization is on the verge of collapse. ”
"Celestial and physicists are the two most dangerous people in this world. Because we know our own insignificance and insignificance, we are willing to spend our lives searching for the infinite mysteries. This is true of your brother, and so is I. There are many, many more people in our civilization who are like this. ”
Zhao Huasheng seems to have a lot of emotion in his heart, or, during this time, Zhao Huasheng has accumulated too many words in his heart and needs to find someone to talk to.
"But sometimes I feel very powerless, very powerless. Because we are too small, and this universe is too vast. Zhao Huasheng sighed, "What is the life course of a person or a civilization compared to the entire universe?" Even geniuses such as Newton and Einstein only solved some problems and then brought more unknowns to mankind by the way. Our human civilization has developed for hundreds of thousands of years, and until now, we still can't even find out the cause of the dimming of the sun. ”
Li Wei snuggled in Zhao Huasheng's arms and said softly: "Our human civilization will continue to advance only when geniuses like you go forward one after another." ”
Zhao Huasheng was silent, and then shook his head: "No, I'm not a genius, your brother is." ”
"Your brother is a complete genius. Without Mr. Richie, it would not have been at least a decade before we have the level of understanding of the sun that we have today. ”
"Someone in science calls your brother the Son of the Sun, do you know why?" Zhao Huasheng asked.
"And what is it called? I don't know. Li Wei said.
"Because...... If you weren't born on the sun, how could you know about the sun like this? Your brother is like a person living on the sun, the solar fusion model, the solar atmosphere model, convection, radiation, corona, magnetic field, your brother is like seeing all these things on the sun himself, and he can easily solve these problems. None of the researchers in our institute, including me, could imagine what kind of brain existed in the head of Director Richie. To put it bluntly, in the field of stellar physics, your brother's status is equivalent to that of Albert Einstein in the world of physics. ”
"I've vaguely heard something, but it seems to ...... My brother's research results have only appeared in the past two years. Two years ago, my brother was one of the top star physicists, but he wasn't as brilliant as you say. ”
"Who knows why. Maybe there really is an alien next to your brother, but not necessarily. Zhao Huasheng said, "But I prefer to believe that all this is your brother's contribution." ”
What Li Wei said is the truth. Indeed, two years ago, Richie was not so outstanding. It is precisely because of the contributions made in the past two years that Li Qi has the glorious title of "Son of the Sun".
"I adore your brother, and I made your brother my idol when I was still in college." Zhao Huasheng said.
"So...... How do you feel when you sit and chat with your idol's sister in the quiet of the night? Perhaps because the chat content was too dull and obscure, Li Wei made a rare joke.
But Zhao Huasheng is a dull person, so Zhao Huasheng directly ignored Li Wei's joke.
"I'm under a lot of pressure." Zhao Huasheng said, "There is a lot of pressure. ”
Li Wei's tone was a little dull: "It's a lot of pressure to be with me? ”
"No, I didn't say you." There was no emotional fluctuation in Zhao Huasheng's words, and he still remained stable, "...... It's your brother. Your brother is so outstanding, compared to your brother, I am just an ordinary person, and now, your brother wants me to solve the puzzle he has assigned and complete this mission to save human civilization...... I was stressed. I've used all my knowledge, all my knowledge, all my past, and even with the help of the government apparatus, but I've not made any progress so far. I'm wondering if it was a mistake on the part of your brother who gave me this task. ”
"I try to calm my mind, I see the most beautiful scenery I can imagine, I enjoy the best life imaginable, I am with the most beautiful people, I try my best to put this puzzle aside for a while, but I can't, I really can't. Your brother's last words are like maggots on the tarsal bones, haunting me and leaving me unable to release them for a moment. I wanted to fix it, but I couldn't, I wanted to leave it behind, but it was always there for me. ”
Zhao Huasheng's tone was a little low.
Li Wei grabbed Zhao Huasheng's arm with more force, as if she was transmitting some invisible energy to Zhao Huasheng.
"I'm by your side." Li Wei said softly, "I'll bear it with you." ”
"Thank you. I really can't stand it without you. Zhao Huasheng said.
The night was still quiet. The faint sound of waves is still transmitting continuously. The sky is like a pure black curtain, and the stars are like jewels. The night was beautiful, and Zhao Huasheng and Li Wei were silent. Under the night sky, Zhao Huasheng's thoughts drifted into the distance again.
"The enjoyment should be over." After half a ring, Zhao Huasheng said: "From tomorrow, I will return to work." I have the unique key to solve the puzzle, and you are the one who knows your brother best, so let's both solve the puzzle that your brother left behind. ”
"Okay." Li Wei said.
Mondro stood motionless at most, twenty meters from here. This distance ensured that he could reach Zhao Huasheng's side within a second after the accident, and he would not interfere with Zhao Huasheng's thoughts because of his presence.
A phrase came out of Monjo's headphones and entered Monjo's mind.
"According to the evaluation of our psychological expert group, we believe that falling in love will not only not have an impact on Zhao Huasheng's work efficiency, but will produce a lot of useful help. This can make Zhao Huasheng's psychology more tenacious, and his bearing capacity will be greatly increased. Under the positive mood, Zhao Huasheng's thinking will be more keen, which will be of great help to Zhao Huasheng to solve the puzzle. In particular, Li Wei is Li Qi's younger sister, she is the person who is most familiar with Li Qi, and she will bring a lot of convenience to Zhao Huasheng's work by Zhao Huasheng's side. So that's a good thing. Not only do you not interfere with them, but on the contrary, you try to create as many opportunities for them as possible. ”
"I see." Meng Zhuo said indifferently, the volume of the voice was just maintained at a level that would not be heard by Zhao Huasheng, and it could be sensed by the headphone microphone, "The latest progress, Zhao Huasheng, with Li Wei's encouragement, has decided to resume work from tomorrow." ”
"You see, that's the beauty of being in love." The voice of a psychologist came from the headphones.
