After reading such a mysterious and mysterious conjecture, Shen Yinuo laughed softly and said, "I don't know if this archaeologist had direct contact with the old god during the decryption process, otherwise whatever she said would be irrelevant." Talking in sleep."
daydream?
Is it really all just sleep talk?
Su Wanxia didn't think so, but he didn't want to argue with others.
In fact, he has been painstakingly studying "Ancient Theology" all these years by himself, but he has not shared it with others just to reduce arguments.
He knew the characters of the other four men in the camp very well.
People like Shen Yinuo, who is engaged in aerospace engine research, would rather believe that there is a small universe inside the nucleus than believe that gods and humans can overlap and come into contact.
"But you've been having more and more dreams lately, haven't you?" Su Wanxia asked.
"Well... that's true, and I have to admit that most of my recent dreams are coherent, just like watching a movie." Shen Yinuo laughed at herself, put down the empty cup, and sighed deeply. "Want to go out for a walk?"
"Where to go?"
"Going around the Lihan Crater?"
"okay."
…
Lihan Crater, as the name suggests, is a meteorite impact crater named after Lihan.
In 2092, a meteorite broke into the solar system and triggered a panic in the human world.
At that time, the scientific community unanimously believed that this meteorite was very likely to cause the death of more than half of the world's population... and that human civilization would be set back at least a thousand years.
But no one expected that the meteorite seemed to change its mind when it passed Jupiter.
It was first dismembered by Jupiter's gravity, and some of the fragments were directly captured by Jupiter. The remaining larger meteorite fragment carried many smaller fragments past Mars and towards the Earth.
Eventually, a larger meteorite hit Mars, forming a huge crater.
Although other fragments arrived at the Earth tenaciously, they failed to pass through the Earth's atmosphere and turned into a fireworks display for the entire Eastern Hemisphere.
After the crater was formed, the newly established Xinghan International Aerospace Center named the crater after Li Han, the astronomer who first discovered the uninvited guest.
Li Han, who was only 34 years old at the time, was also one of the important participants in the "Feng Ying" project later.
…
Starting from the camp and traveling east for 395 kilometers, we arrived at Lihan Crater.
This giant crater with a diameter of more than 21 kilometers still completely retains the "earth-shattering" appearance when it was formed.
With Lihan Crater as the center, the surrounding geology and landforms for thousands of kilometers have been affected and changed to varying degrees after the meteorite landed.
At this time, Su Wanxia and Shen Yinuo, who were driving terrain vehicles toward the edge of the crater, were like two little crabs walking on the offshore continental shelf.
Instead of driving a terrain vehicle together, they used this area as their cross-country competition venue.
The fifth-generation Mars terrain vehicle designed by Chinese engineers does look like a domineering little crab when viewed from a high place. It is also the most advanced multi-functional nuclear-powered terrain vehicle in the aerospace field that Su Wanxia knows.
The fifth-generation terrain vehicle powered by a submorphic nuclear fission engine is named "Xuanhuang Type 5". It can traverse most terrains, and its maximum theoretical speed can reach 140 kilometers per hour.
Of course, Su Wanxia and Shen Yinuo would not really reach a speed of 140 on Mars. This would undoubtedly be a suicide attempt.
Inspired by rock music, the two people galloped on Mars.
Finally, after a beautiful flick, the two terrain vehicles completed the edge stop simultaneously.
Less than half a meter further forward is the edge of Lihan Crater.
The scope of the impact crater is very large. Just standing on the edge and taking a look at it can imagine the devastating magnificence!
"If this place is filled with water, how long will it take for you to see fish?" Shen Yinuo and Su Wanxia chatted while strolling along the edge of the crater.
This question was asked in a very professional manner.
Not to mention that the atmosphere of Mars cannot retain so much water at all. Even if it could be retained, it would be too trivial for a mere lake to resemble the birth of life.
But when Su Wanxia heard this question, she thought of the swimming pool behind her childhood villa in the suburbs.
That place is where Su Wanxia's father, Su Che, lived when he was young.
The villa does not occupy a very large area, but is fully equipped with everything needed.
Especially the swimming pool in the backyard. It is said that Su Che learned to swim in a swimming pool and had some success when he was a child. After practicing in the swimming pool late one night, he got leg cramps and almost drowned there.
So later, Su Wanxia's grandfather ordered people to board up the swimming pool.
But many years later, when Su Wanxia returned to the villa, she found that not only had the wooden boards of the swimming pool been corroded and broken, but the swimming pool itself had also become a complete small ecology.
A variety of animals, plants and insects transform the swimming pool into a completely new one.
Even in the swimming pool, Su Wanxia saw many fish.
I don’t know if someone kept them here or if they appeared out of thin air. In short, the deep impression left by that swimming pool on Su Wanxia will never be erased in her life.
So after hearing Shen Yinuo's question, Su Wanxia smiled and said, "I guess it won't take seven years."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Shen Yinuo's eyes changed, and his smile dimmed a lot.
When Su Wanxia noticed Shen Yinuo's change in mood, she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"sorry……"
"No...this is my own decision, you don't need to apologize.
"Shen Yinuo said with a smile, looking very chic.
But Su Wanxia felt that she must still really want a child.
Although it is foreseeable that this child can only live in the small world of the camp, will the "prison" in the eyes of adults also become the child's "prison"?
Thinking of this, Su Wanxia thought of the swimming pool behind the villa.
Although he once begged his mother not to destroy the little world in the swimming pool, within a few days after the workers came, the swimming pool was completely cleaned.
Those small worlds that took who knows how many years to form were completely erased in the blink of an eye, even the smell of their existence.
Su Wanxia's mother likes the sea very much, so she is also very close to water.
The swimming pool can give her a certain level of comfort.
But Su Wanxia never went to the backyard again after that. He even thought his mother was cruel.
"Maybe... you can consider having a child." Su Wanxia stopped and said.
Shen Yinuo was walking in front of him and stopped when she heard this. She turned around and looked at Su Wanxia curiously.
Because the sun's rays were too warm, both of their masks showed a golden color that made it difficult to see their expressions. Su Wanxia was unable to see Shen Yinuo's expression clearly, but he believed that Shen Yinuo must also be eager to embrace more hope and love. .
Trapped in the camp for seven years.
Everyone seemed to have acquiesced that the earth could no longer return, and everyone seemed to have found their own soul resting place. But in fact, including Su Wanxia herself, he could not really calm down.
The first chapter of the story he read in Karizuki Curie was still vivid in his mind, and he was eager to continue exploring.
But fate plays tricks on people like this.
After going to the moon and seeing those miraculous visions of the future, he was ruthlessly thrown into the deep space of the universe. Now he can only live on Mars with books as his companions.
The ocean of knowledge and his desire became a kind of curse and shackles.
He became more and more taciturn... Fortunately, there was Shen Yinuo, otherwise he might have walked out of the camp naked one morning when the sun rose and merged with Mars.
"I want to too...but...it seems like there is no chance." Shen Yinuo replied to Su Wanxia.
Su Wanxia was stunned.
They seemed so small and insignificant in front of the miracle of the Creator. They stood there quietly, looking at each other.
After a long time, Shen Yinuo suddenly laughed. She turned around and walked forward and said, "Let's go. Please stay with me for a while longer."
After Su Wanxia came back to her senses, she no longer hesitated and took steps to catch up.
…
One year later, the first new life in the Mars camp was born.
It's a boy.
In order for everyone to witness this moment, Su Wanxia took a great risk to wake up Xian Qianhua.
After Xian Qianhua woke up, her memory seemed to be confused.
She thought she was still living on the night when she attempted suicide after a big fight with Yan Sichen six years ago. She also felt that she had everything, but it was just like a dream.
After a week of recovery, she finally defined reality. Xian Qianhua, who returned to normal, did not blame Su Wanxia, but felt very happy.
She was still so generous and generous when she met Yan Sichen, but they always kept a certain distance.
Two amateur doctors, Chu Xiaoming and Su Wanxia, delivered the baby.
It stands to reason that with the fully automated medical equipment in the Mars camp, two grown men are not required to deliver the baby.
But they were all there, and they all smiled with great joy when they saw the child.
After the natural delivery, Shen Yinuo finally showed a smile full of hope and love the moment he saw the child.
"Give the child a name." Su Wanxia put the child in Shen Yinuo's arms.
Looking at his baby, Shen Yinuo thought for a while and said, "Just call him Shen Xiaofan. The name my grandfather originally planned for his grandson is just to repay his old man's wish."
"Shen Xiaofan." Su Wanxia muttered the name, then smiled and said, "It is indeed a good name."
Chu Xiaoming on the side was dutifully recording every frame, but he just smiled and didn't say a word.
Outside the delivery room, Xian Qianhua and Yan Sichen were both stunned.
They were originally very curious about who the father of this child was...but now it seems that it may be an unsolved mystery.
…
In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.
The little one who can already run around has become a treasure in the hands of the five adults in the camp.
Originally, everyone thought it was unfair to give birth to a child in the camp, but now it seems...it is unfair to the new life to arbitrarily judge the child's understanding of the world.
"Xiaoxiao?! Xiaoxiao?" Shen Yinuo, who woke up in the morning, found that his son had gone somewhere and was looking for the little thing everywhere.
When passing the restaurant, Chu Xiaoming, who was studying new recipes with Xian Qianhua, waved his hand directly and said, "I didn't see that kid coming in."
"Hey! Where is this little kid hiding again?" Shen Yinuo wasn't too anxious, but having to hide and seek with her child every day was too much for her.
"It should be over there with Wanxia, isn't he usually closest to Wanxia?" Xian Qianhua pushed the cake into the oven and said with a smile.
"Oh, okay, I'll go take a look."
…
As Xian Qianhua expected, Xiaoxiao was indeed with Su Wanxia.
Xiaoxiao, who has recently become obsessed with myths and legends, pesters Su Wanxia to tell him various stories all day long.
Su Wanxia enjoyed it at first, but it lasted for a month.
Wanxia's research plans were disrupted, and he began to complain.
But the little guy Shen Xiaofan just likes to listen to Su Wanxia telling stories, and even if he is asked to read the book, he can't read it. He is not happy to let the smart butler give him a VR experience. In short, he relies on Su Wanxia.
In the end, Su Wanxia had no choice but to put everything aside temporarily and became Xiaoxiao's full-time storyteller. She did nothing every day except telling stories to this little thing.
…
"Actually, the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun is misleading. According to myths and legends, it was Dayi who shot the sun, not Hou Yi. These two were figures from the Emperor Yao's reign, and Hou Yi was a figure from the Xia Taikang period. , so it is better to believe in books than to have no books at all. If you are really interested in these stories, you can't just taste them briefly. You have to calm down, listen carefully, and read carefully." Su Wanxia's words were not said to be directed at a five-year-old. It's a bit obscure for 19-year-olds, and even if it is told to adults, they may not be able to absorb it immediately.
But Shen Xiaofan, the first child born on Mars in human history, seems to be born different from ordinary people. Not only did he learn simple addresses and communication terms when he was less than one year old, he was able to write and read by himself when he was three years old. Until now At the age of five, he can systematically organize all kinds of knowledge he has absorbed.
This extraordinary talent can no longer be described as amazing.
Sometimes Su Wanxia even feels terrible...
Fortunately, the five people in the camp were very active and guided his character very carefully, so in Su Wanxia's view, as long as this kid is kind-hearted and talented, it will not be a bad thing for him.
"Oh." Shen Xiaofan sat on the small bench and listened very carefully.
Su Wanxia fondly touched his little head and picked up an ancient book from the side, planning to tell him about the origin of Chinese mythology today.
But Shen Xiaofan suddenly asked, "Uncle Wanxia, can I ask you a question?"
Su Wanxia put down her book and said with a smile, "Of course."
"Well, when I read the story of Hou Yi... Oh no, I was very curious when I read the story of Hou Yi shooting at nine days. Is this story a symbolic historical record, or is it really a scene of the destruction of the world in ten days?"
Su Wanxia was startled after hearing this, and then said, "In my opinion, most of the myths and legends that can be tested in history are artistic records of history with symbolic meaning, just like our Chinese dragons. This kind of creature can be viewed from today's scientific perspective. It should be impossible to exist, but if we look at history and archeology, there were many tribes in China, each with their own totems and beliefs. There was once a tribe with a snake as its totem, which was very powerful. In the process of the expansion of the tribes, it continued to eliminate and grow, and finally integrated the totems of other tribes into itself, so there was the earliest dragon. In this way, the myths and legends about dragons are more about the unification of the Chinese nation. Can you understand the historical facts explained in this way?"
Shen Xiaofan, who had a cute and chubby face, stared blankly at Su Wanxia with his mouth open. His brain was working rapidly and he nodded fiercely and said, "Yes, it's just a greedy snake."
"Pfft..." Su Wanxia, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost spit it out, but when she thought about it carefully, she really meant that.
He nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's what it means. So, in my opinion, Yi shooting nine suns can also be understood as the unification process between different tribes, just like the Qin Dynasty unified the world, ten suns simultaneously It was like ten tribes each occupying one side. Years of wars made the people of the world miserable. At this time, a man named Dayi appeared. He wiped out the other nine tribes and unified the world. The wars ended. Naturally, Just as described in myths and legends, stability and peace have been restored to the world."
Shen Xiaofan listened quietly, he was the most well-behaved only when he was with Su Wanxia.
But today he seems to have a lot on his mind.
He asked, "Uncle Wanxia, is it possible that ten suns really appeared in the sky one day in the past?"
"Huh?" Su Wanxia was stunned by the question.
Although Shen Xiaofan's question sounds full of childish and innocent fantasy.
But Su Wanxia felt as if the shackles of her thinking were suddenly released.
According to existing scientific information and data analysis, the solar system is a relatively stable star system.
And before humans, there were all kinds of life forms on the earth.
If there really were ten suns appearing at the same time, it would really be a mass extinction! And even if there really were ten suns, how could humans at that time cope with it?
However, after experiencing the disappearance of the "sun", Su Wanxia had doubts about the inferences of the existing scientific system.
He feels that human beings' understanding of the universe and even the entire solar system is not accurate enough, and can even be said to be superficial.
Ten days on the same day, the kind of horror that only appears in science fiction novels.
But the "disappearance" of the sun happened in Su Wanxia's reality.
The classic Era of Era and Era of Chaos are science fiction works that have been discussed by many people in the world, but it is estimated that no one would have thought that the sun that has shone on the earth for billions of years will really "suddenly disappear" one day.
If we re-examine the story of "Yi shooting for nine days" from this cognitive perspective, does it mean that in the long past, when human civilization was still in its infancy, some powerful, god-like existences had already Have you ever visited this fertile land of the earth?
"Uncle?" Seeing that Su Wanxia remained silent, Shen Xiaofan became a little uneasy.
Su Wanxia, who came back to her senses, took a deep breath and said seriously, "Xiaoxiao, your idea really reminded me. Maybe I should put aside "Ancient Theology" for the time being and study our own archaeological discoveries. .”
After saying that, Su Wanxia got up and walked towards the depths of the library.
