Chapter 13: The Taste of Spring
The mothership is not a spaceship in the general sense, with a volume of 20,000 cubic kilometers alone can be called a miracle, the interior is divided into seven layers by a complex structure, and the total area is an astonishing 3 million square kilometers, which is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary spaceships, the top layer is the outermost layer of the spaceship, as a military base, it is required to be as empty as possible, and it is the simplest layer of the seven layers.
Initially, the earthlings thought that a spaceship of this scale was completely impossible to build, even if it was barely built, there was no way to lift it off, and to support such a huge spaceship, the problem of the earth's gravity alone could not be solved.
A genius was born out of thin air, single-handedly created the anti-gravity equipment laboratory, and after three years, successfully built the core of the mothership, which is also a prerequisite for the successful operation of the mothership.
At Li Rui's strong request, it was finally decided that Ah Xun would be Wendy's tour guide, and Li Rui himself used the excuse of reporting to work, and by the way, he introduced the decision-makers on the mothership for Pat, and he slipped away early.
Along the way, Ah Xun continued to introduce Wendy to various cutting-edge technologies in the mothership, in this regard, although Wendy was very surprised, but obviously not very interested, this Ah Xun felt that he might not be very suitable for a tour guide, aimlessly wandered for a long time, embarrassed, racking his brains A Xun, finally thought of a place, "Why don't we go to the inner layer to see?"
Wendy was obviously out of shape, and it took a while to come back to her senses: "Ah, okay, is the inner layer different from here?"
"There are a lot of animals and plants from the earth in the inner layer, and in order to create a circular ecological environment, most of the species on the earth have been brought to the mothership, and there is a place you will love. ”
Ah Xun took Wendy to the inner third floor of the mothership, where he was born, and there is a very beautiful scenery here in his memory, which he has never forgotten until now. A sea of flowers, in the day and night cycle of the mothership's imitation, there are always blooming flowers, and there is one of Ah Xun's happiest memories.
"It's so beautiful, it's like a fairyland!" Sure enough, as Ah Xun expected, Wendy's mood was changed in an instant, like a cheerful fish, rushing towards the sea of flowers.
Girls always like flowers, and the girls of Nohill are no exception, Wendy was completely shocked by the scenery in front of her, all kinds of colors, all kinds of shapes, not yet in full bloom, extremely blooming, endless sea of flowers, like a girl's budding heart, spring.
Wendy walked lightly into the sea of flowers, gently touching the flowers, as if she felt that the slightest exertion would hurt the flowers, and they might wither at any time.
"Thank you, I'm so happy. Sitting on a stone in the middle of the sea of flowers, Wendy seemed to be very in harmony with the flowers around her, as if she belonged to this sea of flowers in the first place.
"This is my obligation as a tour guide. ”
Wendy raised her hands high, as if to welcome the arrival of the wind, but there was no wind in the mothership, not even a breeze, so she had to withdraw her arms stupidly: "It's really beautiful here, did you grow up here?"
Ah Xun raised his head and looked at the fake sky, and thought for a while: "When I was a child, I was here, from birth, until my relatives died, I also went to the outer second floor, about six or seven years old, where I learned knowledge and survival skills, until I was eighteen years old, I went to the top floor to enlist in the army." Recalling the past experience, Ah Xun slowly narrated, everything was like a world away.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that your parents died, you should be very sad when you were so young, right?" Wendy was inexplicably distressed about Ah Xun's experience.
However, Ah Xun doesn't seem to have been negatively affected, even if there are some effects, after experiencing all kinds of things on the spaceship, he may not have too many feelings: "Maybe, it's been so long, I don't remember much, I only remember some beautiful things, such as these flowers." ”
"Yes, no wonder you're always smiling. ”
"You have to smile to have courage!"
"I don't understand what you mean, but I think it's very impressive. Wendy looked at Ah Xun very seriously, as if she wanted to find some secret in his eyes, or wanted to see if he had secretly shed tears, this idea was a bit strange.
"Yes, what about you, where were you born?"
"I don't know, I don't remember. ”
"Didn't your parents tell you?" Ah Xun felt very confused, how could he not know where he was born?
"I don't have parents. Wendy used a faint tone, as if to describe something that had nothing to do with her.
"No parents? You're an orphan? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”
"Hehe, it's nothing, the people of Nohir don't have parents!"
This sentence makes Ah Xun even more incomprehensible, an orphan, understandable, everyone is an orphan, isn't that a hell?" "You don't have parents, so where did you come from?And you have men and women, if you don't have parents, what is the real meaning of your gender differences, just for **?"
"No, you misunderstood, there are no parents because we were sent to the heart of the World Tree when we were born, and the World Tree provided all the energy supply until we were able to survive on our own, and at the age of 190, there will be special personnel to arrange everything for us. Wendy just explained very seriously, and didn't find anything wrong with Ah Xun's words at all.
"There's such a thing? It feels like the plot of a classic Earth movie, you won't all be replicants, right?"
"Why, we all look different. Wendy's answer is very witty, replicants naturally all look the same, how can everyone have their own looks and personalities?
"So you're so smart. Ah Xun couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, you're deliberately making me happy. ”
Looking at each other, his eyes gradually became hot, Ah Xun felt a little unnatural, and then changed the topic: "Actually, these flowers have a story." ”
"Really, it must be all beautiful stories, right?" Wendy said, with a curious expression.
"The one over there is called Sunflower, and legend has it that a goddess had a crush on the sun god, but the sun god was busy all day long, and never noticed her, and the goddess couldn't look forward to the love of the sun god all day long, so she turned herself into a flower that bloomed towards the sun forever, so that she could follow the sun god for the rest of her life, so this flower is called a sunflower. Ah Xun pointed to a very tall yellow flower in the distance, which held back its tears and faced the sun with a smile, interpreting silent love.
"It's so pitiful!"
"Ah?, well, this, Daffodil, legend, Narcissus was a beautiful man, he did not love any girl, and once, when he drank water in a mountain spring, and saw his own shadow in the water, he fell in love with himself. When he threw himself into the water and embraced his shadow, his soul separated from ** and turned into a beautiful narcissus. A cluster of small white flowers blooming at his feet reminded Ah Xun of the essence of those words: "The years are shaking and falling, and a kind of breeze is absolutely pitiful." It is not all silt that invades Haosu, but all depends on the wind and dew. ”
"What a pervert!"
"Oh, this one, the rose that symbolizes love, and legend has it that in the depths of a forest there was a lake, and in the lake lived a fairy. As long as people write their wishes on paper and fold them into small boats and put them in the lake, if the boat can be unsinkable and float in the center of the lake, the fairy will fulfill this wish. At that time, there were no red flowers in the world, and all flowers were monotonously white. There was a couple of lovers who were very in love, and one day the boy suddenly left, and he was going to look for a red flower. The girl hoped that the boy would return to her, and put the small paper boat with her wish written on it into the lake, and the boat floated to the middle of the lake, and the fairy appeared, gave the girl a seed, and told her to irrigate it with her tears. ”
Ah Xun looked at Wendy, who was looking forward to the following, and a smile of unknown reason rose on her lips, and then continued to narrate: "The girl planted this seed by the lake, and watered it with tears every day, and the seed grew violently every day after drinking enough tears, until one day the seed stopped growing, because the girl's tears no longer had a salty taste, and her eyes were blind!"
"In order for her beloved to return, the girl watered the seeds with her own blood, and one day the most beautiful red rose in the world bloomed, and the girl fell. Later, when the boy came back, he saw the red roses, but found that no matter how beautiful the red roses were, they were far less important than the girls! But the girl could no longer see the boy and the red roses, and the boy was heartbroken, and jumped into the lake of wishing and never came up again. ”
"Woo woo, so beautiful, so touched, so wanted!" Wendy really wants a rose that blooms for love, and wants a love that is as touching as in the story.
"Ahh
"You hate it!" Wendy reached out to hit Ah Xun, but was grabbed and wanted to break free, but the two got closer and closer, finally, Wendy closed her eyes, Ah Xun slowly approached, you could feel each other's breathing, and when Wendy's lips were about to touch, the ghost made a difference, and Ah Xun stopped moving. "Hahaha, lie to you, I made it all up!" Letting go of Wendy, who was at a loss, Ah Xun turned around and ran away, feeling inexplicably flustered.
Wendy froze in place, and after a long time: "Stop, I'm going to kill you!"
Ah Xun is like a child at the moment, of course, at the age of 19, he is already young, maybe he is not ready to meet a love that he has never had, or he may feel that everything is too fast and he will appear frivolous, after all, the two have just met, although they have different feelings at first sight, it is good to know some more, not to mention that the situation between Nohir and the earthlings is still unclear, although I like it very much, just wait.
The two frolicked among the flowers, like two butterflies in early spring, and the air was filled with the smell of spring at the moment.
