Chapter 188: Constellation Myth Story Meeting

Xiangchuan originally thought that Xiangxue would settle down after her mother appeared, but she obviously underestimated the obsession of Xiangxue, who was still an energetic junior high school student.

[I don’t care, I don’t care! Sister Xiangchuan, you must compensate me for not being able to eat!]

Xiangxue took a mouthful of noodles, her little face puffed up with anger.

"Yeah, okay, how about I bring you more rice when I go back? I read in the literature that new rice is sweeter than rice that has been harvested for a while."

Xiangchuan responded calmly. As she spoke, she suddenly felt that this idea was really good. Modern food storage technology is much more advanced than in the 21st century. How can these new rice be kept fresh for three to five months?

Imagine the days when he could eat new rice every day... Kagawa suddenly felt that the lack of pork and soy sauce consumption was not a big problem.

【This will not be available until two days later, I have to make up for it now!】

"But I'm producing escort ships now. Even if I want to authorize you some compensation, our fleet's LAN won't let you, right?"

This matter had just been mentioned, and Xiangchuan felt that with his sister's clever mind, she would not forget it so quickly, so Xiangxue's willful speech now was more of a way of venting.

【That...that...】

Xiangxue on the other side of the screen was also stuck. She knew that Xiangchuan was very generous. If she wanted the license to use some TV series or novels, her sister would directly send the license and documents without saying anything.

In this situation, Kagawa really couldn't give her any compensation.

But! How to resolve the depression of not being able to eat rice!

Xiangxue shouted in her heart.

At this moment, Lu Daiqing, the squad leader who "happened" to pass by the seat where the Tongue Club small group was sitting, said:

"Why don't you, Kagawa, tell sister Xiaoyue the stories you told on the shuttle ship before?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the friends in the seats except Xiangchuan all lit up. Qiu Manman even choked on the rice grains that were not completely swallowed because he wanted to loudly agree, which made Nancy sitting next to her choke.

Very frightened.

[Story? What story? Like "The Count of Monte Cristo"? That's too long. 】

"It's not that long. It's not Homer's epic. To put it simply..."

Kagawa explained to Xiangxue the concept of constellation stories that he had mentioned in the shuttle ship.

[That is to say...those are all stories made up by ancient people looking at the stars, right? What's the point of that? 】

Xiangxue had an expression of disgust on her face, and Lin Ming, who was sitting next to her, also had an expression that was hard to explain.

"It cannot be said that the constellation stories originated from the ancient Greek civilization 800 years ago. The ancient Greek civilization was the birthplace of civilization in Europe... which is one of the continental plates of the earth. Behind these constellation stories there is also the origin of the ancient Greek civilization.

Rise and fall, and constellation myths from ancient Greek civilization

That they have been passed down to the 21st century AD is enough to prove their charm. There are gods, demigod heroes, and mythical beasts in these stories. And I remember that the code name of our fleet is Demeter, right? This is actually

It also comes from ancient Greek mythology and has the same origin as the constellation story.”

Kagawa couldn't help but defend these mythical stories.

I think back then, she was a sophomore in high school who was obsessed with zodiac mythology and horoscope divination. These little stories that now seem ridiculous were also a precious part of her school days.

But when she saw the students gathered around the dining table and the curious looks of Xiangxue and Lin Ming across the screen, Xiangchuan felt a little regretful.

"Well...I'm just explaining the concept."

Xiangchuan stuttered as he looked around at the wide-eyed classmates with curious expressions on their faces, feeling like he was about to break into a cold sweat.

At this time, Ouyang Yating, who was sitting next to her, suddenly stuffed something into her. Xiangchuan took a closer look and saw that it was the kettle she had forgotten to bring out at noon. It was quite heavy in her hand and it must have been filled with drinks.

She raised her head and looked at Ouyang Yating, who had a rare gentle and caring smile on her face, and said:

"President, accept your fate."

Kagawa: "..."

You young people, can't you go for a walk after dinner? What kind of leisure and entertainment for the elderly is gathering here to listen to stories!

As night fell, a few strings of warm yellow lights were hung on the outdoor tables outside the canteen. The breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness in the summer night. Kagawa stood by the table, holding a tissue in his hand and wiping his forehead, surrounded by

Next to her were class monitor Lu Daiqing, Ouyang Yating, Aino, Qiu Manman, Nancy, and Xiangxue and Lin Ming on the video call, as well as several other students from the first grade of high school. They sat in a half circle.

At the dining table, all eyes fell on Xiangchuan.

Xiangchuan coughed slightly uncomfortably, and said with some self-abasement:

"Okay, okay, since you want to hear it so much, let me just say a few words. What should I say first... I just mentioned Europe, right? Then let's talk about the story of Taurus. The origin of this constellation's image

From a bull - but it is no ordinary bull, but a sacred bull transformed by Zeus himself."

"Wait, Zeus?" Aino asked doubtfully, "Isn't this the code name of the First Fleet?"

Xiangchuan nodded:

"Yes, that's Zeus. Zeus is the king of the gods in ancient Greek mythology, in charge of the sky and thunder. He is very smart and powerful, but at the same time he can do some unreliable operations, and he is a pervert.

He always loves to flirt with little girls and other goddesses. It can even be said that most of the demigod heroes in Greek mythology can be traced back to the bloodline of Zeus."

"ah?"

Everyone said "Huh?" in unison. Even Xiangxue and Lin Ming, who were watching the show crazily on the opposite side of the video, were frightened by Zeus's setting.

It's no wonder that among the ancient creations that everyone has come into contact with recently, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" blatantly contains this kind of description of polygamy, and this is a setting that is combined with the background of the times. Now a stallion type suddenly pops up.

Men, and their descendants are everywhere.

This really refreshes the world view of young people.

Kagawa did not wait for them to finish digesting this violent setting, she continued:

"In Phoenicia in the ancient Greek era, there was a princess named Europa. Her beauty attracted Zeus. In order to get close to her, Zeus turned into a snow-white, handsome bull... Don't look at her like this.

"Look at me, I don't know how handsome a cow is. This is described in myths, and I don't think a cow can be so handsome."

"Did I go on? One day, when Europa and her maids were playing on the grass, they saw this bull. They thought it was beautiful and docile, so they couldn't help but get closer and even climbed on the bull's back."

"Isn't this too hasty? Just trust a cow?"

Nancy couldn't help but complain.

Kagawa shrugged:

"Mythological stories sometimes require such magical interactions to continue the story. Anyway, as soon as Europa sat on the back of the bull, Zeus immediately took her to the seaside, jumped into the sea, took her across the sea, and finally arrived in Crete

island."

"Wait a minute, how did he swim across the ocean with a man? And how could a cow cross the ocean...not even a buffalo?"

Monitor Lu Daiqing's face was full of disbelief.

"Isn't it magical? This is a fairy tale. All folk fairy tales are about imagination and imagination. There is no need to pay too much attention to logic."

Kagawa grinned, admiring the shock that modern young people received from being baptized by myths and legends.

"On the island of Crete, Zeus restored his original appearance and combined with Europa. Later, Europa gave birth to his children, including the famous Minotaur Minos. However, in historical records

, Minos actually refers to the king of the ancient Minoan civilization. Since then, the Taurus has become one of the twelve constellations of Huangdao, and the bull has also become a symbol of strength and nobility in ancient Greece."

"The most famous among the children of Europa are not only Minos, but also Rhadamandis who became the judge of the underworld with Mino after his death, and the demigod hero Sarpedon."

Finally finishing telling a story, Xiangchuan quickly opened the kettle and took a few sips of the drink to calm down.
Chapter completed!
