"Welcome to the Astrological Pavilion."

This building is more than 100 years old.

For a long time, regular maintenance has made it look like it is not crumbling, but remains fully functional.

The sweet-looking girl took on the role of a tour guide, introducing the history, origins, and development of the Astrological Pavilion, as well as its various functions as a museum today.

Of the 17-storey building, only five floors are open to the public.

Private content that cannot be opened to the public either needs to be unlocked for a fee, or it requires higher permissions to unlock.

The members of the exchange team began to visit freely.

Bai Yu followed Xiao Shuihan to the office on the ninth floor of the Astrology Pavilion, and faced the managers here, and only with the consent of the managers could he go to the top floor to conduct astrology.

The closer he got to the top, the more Bai Yu could feel that the opportunity was getting closer and closer to him, as if something was calling him.

Xiao Shuihan knocked on the door, and through a mahogany door, a voice sounded inside.

"Please come in."

Pushing the door in, the administrator's office was very spacious, as it was not exactly an office, but a small library.

There are all kinds of instruments, and there are many incomprehensible mathematical symbols drawn on the blackboard.

Bai Yu remembered that the stargazers of this world were first-rate mathematicians.

In the Great Xia, mathematics is divination, which is usually divided into theoretical mathematics and applied mathematics, the former focusing on the stargazing division, while the latter focusing on the Tiangong division.

The manager of the Astrology Pavilion was a woman in pajamas, with her hair disheveled, thick dark circles under her eyes, no age recognizable, like a young man, but her whole body exuded the smell of old salted fish over fifty years old.

She was squatting on the chair and snorting noodles at this time, and when she saw that there were two little fresh meat walking in, she was stunned for a moment, and then stood up in a hurry, a little concerned about the image, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm sloppy here, I'm busy doing research, and I don't have time to clean up." ”

Bai Yu reported the meaning: "I am a Penglai student who participated in the exchange meeting this time, and I want to borrow the top equipment of the astrological pavilion to observe the starry sky." ”

The manager asked strangely: "Looking at the starry sky, you can go to the fourth layer to see the star map." ”

"It's different." Bai Yu said: "I need to see it with my own eyes. ”

The manager hesitated and said: "I'm sorry, the equipment on the top floor has been sealed for a long time, and the Zhou Tian Xingchen dashboard in the Astrology Pavilion is very valuable, so I can't lend it casually......"

Bai Yu begged: "This sister, we just borrowed it, and we will never mess around." ”

The manager pursed his lips: "I, think about it, or ask the superior." ”

She was quite comfortable when her sister shouted.

Bai Yu hit the railway while it was hot: "This is some small gifts I prepared, not a tribute." ”

The manager blinked, looking curiously at the young little fresh meat.

Gift?

What gift can the other party give with their hands empty?

She is a member of the Stargazing Division, but she doesn't care about any vulgar things, and most people have to endure loneliness if she can stay in the Stargazing Division.

Most of the people who are immersed in academic research and study theoretical mathematics are from very good families, and they are not short of money or material things, and it is difficult to buy them through gifts.

Bai Yu also knew this, so he opened a piece of paper casually.

The manager was even more curious, and when he leaned over to take a look, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"It's!"

She stood up, stepped on the chair, lost her balance and fell, and knocked over the instant noodles, and was lifted by Xiao Shuihan with one hand.

Ignoring his aching feet, the manager jumped up: "This, where did you get this, it's just too much, Mrs. ......"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Is this gift satisfactory?" ”

The manager glared at him excitedly and angrily: "You little guy, you are simply uneasy and kind, we are already very tired, and when we see this again, wouldn't we be even more unstoppable?" I'm afraid the entire stargazing division will not be able to sleep well in the future! ”

She was happy because what was written on the paper was really useful, and it was even one of the important research directions of theoretical mathematics.

I was annoyed because what was written on this paper was so difficult, and I knew at a glance that it was the problem of the century, and there was more than one!

What Bai Yu wrote was a 'mathematical conjecture', a top-level mathematical conjecture that no one could crack in the previous life, a millennial problem.

Most of the conjectures that have been hailed as the world's problems have not been proven so far, so they are a kind of conjecture.

Riemann's conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture, the four-color problem, Fermat's law; NP Complete Problem, Hodge Conjecture, Young-Mills Existence and Mass Gap, Navall-Stoker Equation, BSD Conjecture.

Although Bai Yu does not have the ability to solve these problems as a mathematician, it is not difficult to write down these conjectures...... Of course, just the topic.

Any one of these millennial problems is enough to make a mathematician toss for a lifetime, not to mention, Bai Yu directly threw so many.

When the manager saw it, he couldn't take his eyes off it, happy and angry.

Bai Yu asked, "Can I borrow the seventeenth floor?" ”

The manager hesitated: "This, me, I ......"

Bai Yu folded the paper: "Excuse me." ”

"Ahh The manager's young lady danced angrily: "You let me see it, but you still took it away, do you want me to die of illness because of curiosity!" The devil, simply the devil! ”

Bai Yu ignored the repetition and asked, "Can you borrow the seventeenth floor?" ”

The manager took out the pass key angrily: "This time is a special case!" Not an example! ”

"Thank you." Bai Yu put the paper on the table and smiled, "I wish you a pleasant study." ”

"Little villain, huh!" She took the paper and put it on the blackboard as if it were a treasure, and pasted it with a magnet.

Bai Yu didn't bother, turned around and got on the elevator.

In the elevator, Xiao Shuihan asked, "...... on your piece of paper?"

He clearly remembered that the piece of paper was written casually on the way to Bai Yu's arrival, but he didn't expect that he could make the manager soft by relying on this.

"Write something casually." Bai Yu said: "It works for mathematicians, but it is not useful for us. ”

Xiao Shuihan asked again: "You really know everything?" ”

Bai Yu shook his head: "I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants." ”

Bite~

The elevator reaches the highest floor.

The seventeenth-story Astrology Pavilion, Xiao Shuihan also came here for the first time.

It wasn't pitch black, but in the open floor of the spacious room, there was only an ancient bronze disc, which was huge, and through its surface you could see the countless gears and axles inside the gaps.

Zhou Tian Xingchen dashboard.

After Bai Yu looked at it for a minute, he suddenly asked, "How do you use this thing?" ”

Xiao Shuihan asked rhetorically: "You ask me?" ”

The two looked at each other.

Bai Yu didn't find any buttons, he thought about it, and felt that this needed to follow his intuition, the opportunity was here, as long as he showed the corresponding strength, he would get the answer.

Avenue of Stars, unfolded.

Bai Yu opened the star scroll, and the illusory starlight fell from his fingertips to Zhou Tian's star dashboard, like a drop of water pouring into it, reactivating the machine that had been frozen for a long time.

The clatter, the axles turned, the gears engaged, and the roar of the wheels snapped and lasted not long, and a moment later the periscope fell, and a faint starlight fell from the eyepieces.

The incomparably pure power of the stars fell on Bai Yu's palm through the eyepiece, almost condensing into a liquid state, and remaining in the palm of the palm to converge into a pool.

Just by touching it, Bai Yu sensed that his perception of the Avenue of Stars was improving.

The perception that was firmly locked at one percent began to rise.

A strong urge drove him to turn his eyes to the eyepiece.

- Go and see!

- Go and see!!

Eyes on the eyepiece, staring at the starry sky.

Looking through the Zhou Tian Star Dashboard, you can gaze at the stars even during the day, because the guiding starlight comes from outside the sky.

He felt his consciousness leave his shell, guided by this beam of light, through the bridge of starlight, over the surface of the earth, through the atmosphere, and into the extraterrestrial chaos.

Thousands of miles but in an instant, riding the speed of light, Bai Yu saw the complete starry sky of this world for the first time.

As far as the eye can see, there is chaos.

Here, as expected, it's a different world.

No longer the Earth he knew.

The overall structure of the solar system is still there, but each planet looks plausible, different from the stars in memory.

Far into the distance.

You can taste a completely different taste from the starlight reflected by the refraction of these planets.

Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune...... This is the original structure of the great planets of the solar system.

Some people may not know that Pluto, the disgraceful planet, was expelled from the planet of the solar system as early as 2006.

Bai Yu naturally didn't care about the dwarf planet Pluto, but noticed that something was wrong with the neighbors of other big planets in the solar system.

Their existence is not as simple as a purely inanimate planet.

Bai Yu could even feel that these starlights were like the sight of these planets, with some fluctuations, like sounds, and like emotions.

But how can the planet have emotions?

When he tries to reach out to these starlights and extract certain emotions from them......

The sharp warning made him let go of his fingers.

[You perceive the sight of Venus]

[I have automatically rejected the gift of Venus for you]

[Cut the thread of fate from the river of time, break free from the puppet fate, and consume 10 fate points]

[Automatically rejected Jupiter's gift for you]

[Cut the thread of fate from the river of time, break free from the puppet fate, and consume 10 fate points]

【......】

Bai Yu noticed that those starlight threads actually took the initiative to wrap around him, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

These eyes are noticing themselves, and because of the Avenue of Stars, they are being drawn to them.

You can see from the hint that the gift of the stars is not a good thing!

Puppet fate?

Do these planets really have a will?

Is that the starlight their sight or their sense of touch?

No, I can't feel strong malice in my sight......

Bai Yu couldn't judge.

He was now like a mortal in the flesh, unprotected, in an environment full of radiation.

Whether it was good or evil, he could not bear these gifts, and he was overwhelmed by the mere staring.

If it weren't for the system of the Heroic Soul Chronicle, I'm afraid that the soul would have been ravaged by the will of the stars by now, referred to as ...... Star slaves?

Looking at the fate points that had dropped at ten o'clock, Bai Yu realized that he could not stay.

The threads of those eyes twisted in all directions, and they almost surrounded him into a cocoon.

He turned, about to leave.

But the moment he turned back, he glimpsed an indescribable horror.

A crack opened in the earth, and the crack was like a sleepy eye, half-open and half-closed.

From the depths of the gap in the eye, there is a pupil, the darkness of which is not visible......

The planet, shrouded in a dark gray mist, takes on an eerie appearance in the sunlight.

It doesn't look like the beautiful blue planet at all, not the familiar and charming home planet in Bai Yu's memory.

Bai Yu suddenly understood.

It turned out that the stars were not looking at themselves, but at the planet behind them, at their feet.

All the stars, staring at it.

Bai Yu also stared at it, and then, seeing it blink slowly, then raised its pupils, and consciously turned its eyeballs to gaze in its own direction.

【Auto-cropping...... The long river of time...... Multiply...... 100 Destiny Points are automatically deducted.

【Please ...... quickly.【】 100 Destiny Points are automatically deducted.

[High energy ahead, don't look directly, high energy ahead, don't look directly, high energy ahead, don't look directly——! 】

When you're staring into the abyss......

The abyss is staring at you, too!
