June is our farewell song

Chapter 116 The Sextile Star

"No! I don't want to drink any more!"

"If you lose, you will be punished, and you are not allowed to deny it!"

"No! You kill me!"

"You guys had a great time."

"Miss Zifeng!"

Qi Yu immediately rushed forward, Jiang Zifeng sat down on the picnic mat, looked at everyone, and then looked down at the yellow-green cloudy liquid in the thermos, couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

"Sister Zifeng, why did you come here? Look, the secret drink that Qingsi specially prepared for you is almost cold." Gu Yuan said as he handed over the glass of bitter melon lemonade in his hand, " Come and taste."

"You don't come here, I have seen it all. This thing is for the punished to drink. To deceive the president, but the punishment will be doubled."

"Double? Eh? Wait... what are you trying to do?! Don't, don't come near me!"

"Let him drink, let him drink!"

Gu Yuan couldn't remember how much bitter gourd lemonade he drank that day, but he only knew that later on, he even felt that it became more delicious, so much so that when everyone was sitting and chatting together, he even poured himself a glass.

"You say, why do people always have an inexplicable complex about the moon?"

Chen Ying looked up at the bright moon in the sky and asked.

"From "The Book of Songs Chen Feng Moonrise" and "Nineteen Ancient Poems" to Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts", Su Shi's "Water Melody Song Tou Bingchen Mid-Autumn Festival" to Zhu Ziqing's "Lotus Pond From Moonlight to the bright moon hanging high in Zhang Ailing’s The Golden Lock, almost all writers in the history of Chinese literature have expressed their special favor for the moon, a cosmic celestial body. It’s a strange coincidence when you think about it carefully. It's obviously just a big rock with holes in it."

Qi Yu rolled his hands and folded them in front of his eyes, making a simple telescope to look at the moon, and also expressed his incomprehension.

"The image of the moon first appeared in mythology. In the "Shan Hai Jing" there are "a country with women and the mother of the moon..." and the well-known Chang'e flying to the moon. These are the early ancestors who paid attention to the moon. Evidence of a special planet." Jiang Zifeng explained, "The primitive people regarded the moon as a god, and the goddess of the moon as the mother and protector of the Chinese nation, so moon worship arose."

"Moon Worship? I know, the Moon Worship Sect, the big villain in Legend of Sword and Fairy, that leader is called the Moon Worship Master, and he is very bad." Qi Yu turned his head and said, with his hands still curled up in front of his eyes, but Liu Qing Si tapped her head with the "Full Moon Poetry Collection" she had pulled out from somewhere, and immediately sat upright honestly.

"The moon complex in Chinese literature is rooted in moon worship. In the pre-Qin period in ancient times, there were ceremonies for offering sacrifices to the moon. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this kind of rite of offering sacrifices to the moon due to moon worship had deeply affected the people, and gradually took off the rituals. Some ceremonies in China are converted into a specific cultural custom among the people. From the ruling class to the common people, regardless of region, north or south, and people regardless of gender, they all set out to worship the moon and pray for different motives and purposes. Moon worship has always been an important part of the spiritual life of the Chinese nation, which will inevitably affect literary creation as a spiritual life activity. Therefore, after the moon prototype was formed, a unique "moon complex" was formed in the history of Chinese literature. "

Liu Qingsi followed Jiang Zifeng's words and continued to explain.

"You guys, let you read more books. This is something that was mentioned at the beginning of the history of Chinese literature. I don't even know this."

"But... why?" Feng Ziqiu then asked, "Why do people worship the moon? It is not surprising that ancient ancestors formed a religion of worshiping the moon, but in the eyes of modern astronomy, the moon is not such a special planet. Today, when scientific knowledge is so popular, why do so many people still have such deep emotional sustenance for the moon?"

"After all, it is bright and beautiful. You can see it as soon as you look up. Even if there are some clouds in the sky, it doesn't matter. This is something that other stars can't compare with." Gu Yuan looked at the moon and said, "And, it is a human being. The farthest place reached is the closest star to the earth. This kind of absurd sense of reality is its most attractive place."

"Is it the farthest and the closest... It always feels so romantic..." Chen Ying whispered.

"After I die, I must scatter my ashes on the moon!" Qi Yu said seriously with his right fist clenched.

"I remember you said last time that you wanted to scatter your ashes into the sea..." Gu Yuan complained, "It should have happened last week, it's only been half a month, so it's too easy to change your mind." ?”

"Tch, how else can you say that you have an elm head, and you can't turn a corner." Qi Yu snorted, "Can't you sprinkle half of it in the sea and half on the moon?"

Gu Yuan had nothing to say.

"Actually, if you really want to be buried on the moon, it's not impossible. You see." Liu Qingsi spread out an astronomy magazine among the six of them, and saw that it said, "Moon land is on sale now! Book now and enjoy it immediately." [-]% off, please inquire for details
At first glance, it looks like a nonsensical gimmick to cheat money. Recently, there are more and more strange things like this.I heard that someone in the UK has registered the ownership of the earth's air, requiring all people who breathe the air to pay him for the use of it.There seems to be a similar thing in the United States. At least NASA has been selling the naming rights of asteroids. If they give enough money, they can buy the entire asteroid. It seems that stars can also be bought, but some people are really stupid. Spend hundreds of thousands or even millions to buy a star that humans may never reach?
Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little speechless when he saw the group of girls crowded together excitedly. He didn't expect that even Miss Zifeng fell...

"In "The Three-Body Problem", Yun Tianming bought a star for Cheng Xin, the girl he had a crush on! It's called DX3906."

Miss Qi, that is the plot of a novel, but we are characters living in the real world, please be more rational, okay?

"Wow! Then let's place an order now!" Liu Qingsi and Chen Ying hugged each other, and Gu Yuan seemed to be able to see the money symbols flickering in their eyes.

"Okay! The purchase is complete!"

Liu Qingsi triumphantly turned the phone screen to face everyone.

What kind of power is this? !The Flash isn't as fast as you, is it? !
Gu Yuan was completely speechless, but Feng Ziqiu on the side looked noncommittal, with a subtle expression.

"The area of ​​the land is um...a circular area with a diameter of three meters...under the peaks on the edge of the crater at the north pole of the moon, where the sun never sets, uh..."

"Ah, is it near the Sea of ​​Rain, the legendary Peak of Eternal Light, so it seems like a good place." Gu Yuan stretched his waist, "There is plenty of sunshine there, and because there is no night, the temperature difference between days is very large." Small, only [-] degrees Celsius, which is much better than the [-] degrees Celsius temperature difference between day and night near the equator. In addition, it is located on the edge of the impact crater, and if you are lucky, you can also see the lunar fountain.”

"Moon Fountain?" Chen Ying raised her head and thought for a while, "I remember a scene once imagined in a science fiction novel published by the famous science fiction writer Hal Clement - the dust on the surface of the moon It rises and falls, because motion friction generates a large amount of charge, and when the crater is also charged, the dust will be under the action of static electricity, like a giant fountain, rising continuously in the sun."

"Eh?!!! Really?" Qi Yu asked in surprise.

"Of course there is. Astronauts who have landed on the moon have seen such a spectacle with their own eyes."

Originally Gu Yuan wanted to continue, but Feng Ziqiu took over at this moment:

"In 1972, when the astronauts of "Apollo 17" flew around the moon in a spacecraft, they repeatedly saw the 'ribbon', 'white curtain' or 'morning light' in the 10 seconds between sunrise and sunset on the moon. 'like light curtains. These magical sights are caused by moon dust kicked up on the moon, and as Hal Clement speculates, the sight is due to the effect of static electricity, moon dust floating on the surface of the moon for a long time lead to. However, in reality, the charge of moon dust is not generated by mutual friction, but by capturing light energy from sunlight to generate static electricity, or by obtaining electrons through charged particles such as solar wind."

"On the surface of the moon, the charge carried by the moon dust particles gradually accumulates until the dust particles repel each other, and even leave the surface of the moon, rise to several meters or even kilometers in the air and suspend, finally forming a spectacular charged dust belt, which shines brightly. This is the most magnificent scene that can be seen on the moon except for the falling meteorite. If I have the opportunity, I would like to see it with my own eyes.”

Gu Yuan sighed.

"If you want, it's not impossible to share with you." Liu Qingsi shook her wrist lightly, and flicked the rose-red pendant on her phone, "Well... how about it."

She turned around and fiddled in the bag for a while, took out a piece of paper, a pen and a compass, and drew a circle on the paper.

"For a circular area with a diameter of three meters, we have a total of one, two, three, four, five, and six. If Jiang Lu is counted, it will be seven. In this case, we only need to divide the circle into seven equal parts..."

"Don't count me out, I still miss the scenery on the earth more than the moon that is out of reach." Jiang Zifeng said with a smile, "Six equal parts are enough."

"Then how do I do it? Let me think about it...then draw another small circle in the middle. Alright, this is Miss Zifeng's." Liu Qingsi lifted up the paper, and on it was a group of six equal circles. Concentric circles, each pattern is marked with a word, clockwise, "Si, Yu, Qiu, Yuan, Lu, Ying", and a "Maple" character is written on the small circle in the middle.

"Lunar land allocation plan, complete!"

All in all, it is such a muddle-headed possession of a piece of land on the moon.

Surrounded by mountains and "sea", it is a treasure land of geomantic omen.

Gu Yuan couldn't remember how much bitter gourd lemonade he drank that night, but he only remembered that the sky was long and the night was cool.

A year has passed.

No matter what stories and secrets each person has, as long as we can get together, we can have the same joy even if we live different days.

Gu Yuan raised his hand to cover his eyes, and the bright moonlight still flowed through his fingers like water.

There is ample time.

He firmly believed in it.

There is ample time.
