"Why should I be angry?" Su Jinzhi asked No. 1, he was really in a good mood, because he felt that Jiang Lishan liked him very much, but he still didn't believe that he liked him too.
"Because he said that he won't remember you when he returns to Moon and Star." Number One said, "But it's fine if you don't get angry."
"It's just a hypothesis. Besides, with my current status and his current status, it's normal for him to answer like this. I won't be angry for the empty hypothesis. By the way—" Su Jinzhi brought the topic back on track, " You haven't told me how special Yuexing is."
No. 1 was helpless, and asked him: "Didn't Jiang Lishan tell you about his home planet?"
Su Jinzhi said, "I've said it, but not much."
No. 1 said: "That's it. He didn't say it because he didn't want you to know."
Su Jinzhi was slightly stunned for a moment, then said nothing, and continued to look at the splendid cosmic scene outside the window.
For a moment, the room was eerily silent.
Number One waited for a while, and couldn't help asking Su Jinzhi: "What are you thinking now?"
Su Jinzhi said: "I was wondering how long is the lifespan of a star."
In the vast universe, the longest lifespan of a star can reach hundreds of billions of years, and the lifespan of a star usually depends on its own mass. A star with a greater mass has a shorter lifespan, but no matter how short it is, That is tens of millions of years.
For human beings with a lifespan of only a hundred years, that is an extremely distant number.
If you don't have hyperamnesia, then no matter how much you want to remember a person, some memories about that person will eventually fade out of your memory. Human beings with a short lifespan are like this, and their lives are as long as stars What about people
With such a long life and memory, what will he remember and what will he forget
No. 1 was silent for a moment, and said to him, "Don't think wildly."
"I didn't think about it—" Su Jinzhi laughed dumbly, but his smile froze suddenly, "No. 1, you said that Jiang Lishan controls everything except the Milky Way, right? ?”
"Yes."
"And the things he controls are all controlled by his latent memory and instinct, aren't they?"
"yes."
"So... can you tell me why in his latent memory, the place where I am is not compatible with him?" Su Jinzhi's voice gradually became a little trembling, "Why can't he... take me to his planet? ?”
"Yue Xing is a very special planet. He told you, right? Come, "That's a star, and only stars shine."
Su Jinzhi immediately said: "This is impossible."
"Why is it impossible?" No. 1 asked him back, "Life can exist in any form, but you can't discover it for the time being."
"But... life only exists on those planets that don't emit light and have a solid surface..." Su Jinzhi mumbled. Jiang Lishan told him at the beginning that he really felt a little strange when the moon and stars would shine, but since there is life on the moon and stars, It never occurred to him that the Moon Star was actually a star.
A star that shouldn't have any life on it.
The stars are almost all hot balloons, the lowest is several thousand degrees Celsius, and the highest can reach tens of thousands of degrees Celsius. Under such high temperatures, it is impossible for any life to exist.
"That's true, but the star itself is a kind of life." No. 1 said lightly.
Su Jinzhi was stunned, and said after a while: "You mean, Jiang Lishan is Yuexing itself?"
"No, he is not the moon star itself, he is just a part of the moon star." One said, "there is only one kind of creature on the moon star, and that is the star beast. Every star beast is a part of the moon star. They are only a part of the moon star." They feed on light, and where there is light, they can live, so they can survive on the moon and stars."
"They will never die from the high-temperature reaction produced by the nuclear fusion of the moon and stars, but there is nothing but life there."
Because of the extremely high temperature, it is impossible for the moon and stars to have anything other than stellar beasts, which is another kind of incomprehensible loneliness and loneliness. Fortunately, the star beasts are not picky about the living environment. They can even survive in the vacuum of the universe. As Jiang Lishan said, their lives are as long as the stars, because they are part of the stars. As long as the stars are not dead, they never die.
So later some star beasts ran to the planets revolving around the moon, where they developed technology and started space travel.
But no creature is perfect, and star beasts also have their own flaws—the farther they are from the moon and star, the weaker their abilities will become, and they will hardly die naturally, but once they are far away from the moon and star, They can be killed by other weapons.
"Most of the star beasts play outside and go home after playing enough. There has never been a star beast like Jiang Lishan who wants to stay on the earth forever with you." No. 1 said, "But probably in their eyes Come on, this short few hundred years is estimated to be very short."
Su Jinzhi was silent for a while, then said, "It's not short, it's very long."
Because longing stretches these hundreds of years infinitely, which is a long time that no one can resist and guard against.
"Yue Xing is a star, so Jiang Lishan can't take you back, and..." No. 1 paused before continuing, "Jiang Lishan probably has no way to go back by himself."
Su Jinzhi asked, "Why?"
"Because he wants to share his life genes with you." Number One said, "You have to know that apart from the universe itself, there is probably no creature whose life can compare with that of a stellar beast. Who wouldn't want such a long life? What? And the secret of such a long life exists in their genetic code."
"I remember, he went back once, and he asked me to wait for him..." Su Jinzhi said in a daze, "He said he was going to give me a surprise..."
"A star cannot be destroyed unless it dies naturally, or you have a weapon that can destroy a star forever. Because no other living things can survive on a star, who will attack a star that cannot obtain any resources other than light?" What about the planet? So the existence of the moon and star itself is the best weapon for the star beast to resist foreign invaders." No. 1 took his words, "Because we want to share life genes with you, so No. 0 and I studied the star beast This creature."
"This makes me have to sigh the wonder of life. Have you ever heard of Yayulong? It is the top interstellar beast in your galaxy. It is very powerful, but it cannot directly enter the vacuum universe. And the one that can directly survive in the vacuum universe Star beasts are easily killed by some high-end large nuclear weapons." Su Jinzhi heard a little excitement from No. 1's usual mediocre tone, "And the marriage law of your Earth Federation will expose the life codes of star beasts. Deciphering them is How to survive on the hot moon and stars, if Jiang Lishan insists on being with you, he only has to block some life genes, which will make him more likely to be killed by other things."
"Such as the high temperature on the moon and stars?" Su Jinzhi pulled the corners of his lips stiffly.
"Yes, once the gene blockade program starts, it cannot be reversed, so he will never be able to return to the moon and star, and the high temperature on that planet will kill him." Number one said, "He can only stand on the moon and star." Let’s take another look at that planet from a nearby planet.”
Su Jinzhi's eyes were still staring blankly at the sea of stars and stars outside the window, but he felt that this beautiful and bright universe was full of indifference and murderous intent even more than now.
The universe is dangerous, and every creature in it is trying everything to survive.
Number One asked him, "Are you sad?"
"Yeah." Su Jinzhi touched his face, the tentacles were warm and wet, "He can't go home."
"I don't think that's a big deal, the moon and stars are not fun." Number One said, "It's like a desert, with nothing but star beasts."
"That's home, it's the home planet, and there are your relatives on it." Su Jinzhi asked No. 1, "Don't you and No. 0 miss your home planet?"
No. 1 replied without hesitation: "No."
"Because you don't have feelings?" Su Jinzhi asked again, "But if you really don't have feelings, why do you and number zero stay together all the time? Why do you love it so much?"
"Because we only have each other." Number One paused for a moment before replying, "Without each other, we are alone."
Su Jinzhi twitched the corners of his lips: "Is that all?"
"… Yes."
"I used to be a part of life research." Su Jinzhi walked back from the window and lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt up to his chin and covered it. This bed is very big, but it will be cold if you sleep alone. "Actually, you It's not emotionless."
Su Jinzhi said softly: "You can understand such feelings."
"Jiang Lishan and I are like this. We only have each other. Without each other, we are lonely." Su Jinzhi closed his eyes, "The universe is beautiful, you must have seen double stars, they are a pair of planets that are entwined and rotated by each other. Even if one star dies and collapses into a black hole, the other star will continue to follow it and die."
As Su Jinzhi spoke, his voice gradually choked up. Jiang Lishan only mentioned the moon and stars to him once. A long time ago, when he and Jiang Lishan were sitting on the grass watching the night sky through thick protective clothing—
"You said your planet will shine, so can I see the light from the moon and stars here?"
"No, it is too far away from the earth."
"Is the moon beautiful?"
"Not beautiful."
"It's your home planet."
"But it's really not beautiful, just like the deserts on your earth, it's very lonely." The man said, his voice slightly weaker, "But I miss it sometimes."
