Leader of the Ark Raiders

suddenly.

A little light in the dark.

What time is it next, one slice...

It's fireflies.

Under the shade of trees and on the grass, fireflies fly around with flashes of light.

Quietly and erratically, it seems that some invisible elves are roaming with green lanterns.

"Ah...how come there are so many!" Wendy was a little surprised, "I only saw a few when I came here yesterday..."

The dim light illuminated the small space around them, everything seemed hazy, and even the air seemed to become fresh and fragrant.

"How did you find out here?" Shen Cangye asked.

"I found it last night when I helped Amiya set up the maze." Wendy said.

She spread her hand, and a firefly landed on her palm, "I only saw two or three fireflies yesterday, I didn't expect so many fireflies to come today! It's so good, just like stars!"

She wanted to close her palm to catch the firefly, but it flew away.

"Let's take a look in the depths?" Hai Long girl enthusiastically dragged Shen Cangye into the woods.

They went to the woods and found more and more fireflies.

Wendy was very excited, she let go of Shen Cangye's hand, and ran forward after the fireflies.

"Slow down!" Shen Cangye followed slowly.

Agor, who has always been in the laboratory, seems to be so close to nature, let alone strolling in the woods chasing fireflies.

She looked excited and said briskly, "It's so beautiful!"

She reached out to catch the firefly, but the firefly flew away immediately.

The dots of fireflies exude a warm yellowish light.

"They fly so fast." Wendy couldn't hide her excitement in her tone.

Shen Cangye was surprised.

That scientist who is usually stable, rigorous and upright has such a childlike side.

"Why, do you want to catch one?" Shen Cangye asked with great interest.

"Yeah!" Wendy nodded.

"I also want to catch one—" Shen Cangye said.

Agor raised the corner of his mouth even higher, "Then let's compare!"

"But what I want to catch is not a firefly, I want to catch a little sea dragon." Shen Cangye said.

Before Wendy could react, Shen Cangye hugged her.

Wendy was hugged suddenly, startled, but finally said with a smile: "It's all your fault, the fireflies are all running away!"

She turned around and tiptoed to kiss his cheek.

"You said that fireflies are like stars, do you want to see the stars?" Shen Cangye remembered, "The visitor center of the plantation can rent astronomical telescopes, I know a very good place to see the stars, do you want to go?"

"Is it really possible?" There was surprise in Wendy's voice.

Although she has a little knowledge of astronomy, she rarely has the opportunity to take an astronomical telescope to a suitable place for stargazing.

This is also a fresh first experience for her.

"Let's go." Shen Cangye held her hand.

Without the awareness of all maze participants.

An off-road vehicle with the Rhode Island logo quietly left the pineapple plantation.

603. You and I Are Stardust

Mount Haleikala - meaning "House of the Sun" in the Kiesta language.

This is the best place to watch the sunrise and sunset, as well as the brilliant stars.

Whether it is watching the starry sky or the sunrise at the top of Mount Haleikala, it is an unforgettable experience in a lifetime.

Haleikala Mountain is about an hour's drive from Dole Pineapple Park.

Back then, Shen Cangye chatted with Asthecia at the academic dinner.

The veteran stargazer told him about this great place for stargazing.

They got off the car on the hillside near the top.

Ahead, without any obstruction, is the giant saltwater lake of Kiesta.

Above the head, is the vast starry sky.

Under the night, the sky and the water almost merge into one.

In front of me was an open meadow.

The hillside is not steep, and the lush green grass looks soft, which is very suitable for lying down and watching the stars.

Travelers in twos and threes have come here, and there are many stargazers lying on the lawn.

Shen Cangye got out of the car first, and spread out on the lawn with a damp cloth.

"Hey, you can't go that way at all? It's very crowded, do you understand!" The film man beside him said dissatisfied.

Shen Cangye glanced at him.

The pair of film men and women were hugging each other.

Presumably, he felt that he was disturbing them by being too close.

...It's obviously five or six meters away.

Shen Cangye was a little speechless, so he had to move to the side again.

He thought to himself, this film's sense of territory is too strong.

He laid out the moisture-proof cloth and covered it with a thicker layer of thermal cloth.

The two just lay on the grass and stared at the stars.

In the silence, Shen Cangye could clearly hear the nasty words of the film couple.

"Baby, is the starry sky beautiful? But not as beautiful as you! Your face is more beautiful than the moon."

"I'd love to take the stars off and make you a necklace, honey!"

"Look, baby, do stars look like diamonds? I'll buy you a big diamond in the future!"

Wendy chuckled when she heard that.

"The starry sky is really amazing." She murmured, "Every time I see the starry sky, my heart will calm down, and I can always think through many things when I calm down."

Shen Cangye took up the conversation, "I read an article before, there is a theory of 'look and hide' in landscape and architecture, which explains human's preference for landscape from an evolutionary perspective - people like to go from a safe place Staring at nature, because it has a view of predators without worrying about danger behind, this aesthetic concept is naturally preserved. And lying down and looking at the stars perfectly fits this requirement."

"That makes sense!" Wendy sat up and turned to look at him, "I'm also looking for relevant documents to study!"

The men and women of the film at the side cast strange gazes.

"Hmm." Wendy coughed, and forced herself to lie back in her original position, "No, no, I have to get rid of this old habit. Today is a romantic trip to see the stars, don't get involved in academic discussions."

"My fault, my fault." Shen Cangye quickly warned himself, "It's settled, don't talk about academics."

They looked at the starry sky side by side.

Shen Cangye stretched out his hand and gestured in the air, "The belt of Orion is the most recognizable constellation. I only knew this constellation when I was a child. I looked up when I was on the way from school... Later, after a long time, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it will be another year. When I grow up and look at it, it is still exactly the same as when I was a child, and its trajectory has not changed at all. Compared with it, human beings are really too small."

Wendy smiled and said: "Astronomy is different from any other discipline. It is an extremely definite science. The only thing humans can do is 'discovery'. All the rules already exist, waiting for people to discover. We are in There are only extremely small existences in the universe... Hehe, do you feel powerless?"

"Then why do you like astronomy?" Shen Cangye asked back.

"Because it is a subject that spans the dimension of time." The Argo scientist said quietly, "Stars are hundreds of light-years, or even tens of thousands of light-years away from us. Such a long distance, even if it reaches our eyes at the speed of light, there must be Delay. We see them as they used to be."

"So, when we see these stars and nebulae, tens of thousands of years have passed, or even longer, and some of them may have disappeared from the universe." Shen Cangye said.

He looked at Wendy, and could vaguely see her pair of bright eyes, which seemed to be shining brightly.

The Agor girl looked at him tenderly, "Perhaps at the beginning of the Big Bang, the hydrogen and carbon that formed our body came from two different stars, and then they were ejected into the same molecular cloud when the supernova exploded. Thousands of miles away, they come together to form the sun and form us."

Shen Cangye smiled, "Then, after many, many years, our fragments will return to the universe and join the endless material cycle. In the next life, we may be two adjacent dewdrops on the same blade of grass, still like Let's stay together quietly now."

"It's not easy to meet you in such a huge universe." The girl chuckled.

The Filin couple next to them looked over again.

That film guy who was full of mouths to run the train, suddenly couldn't speak nasty words.

Pinch the horse, is the threshold for talking about love so high now?

604. Watching the Meteor Shower Together

In this quiet suburb, there is very little light pollution, and the air quality is very good. There are no high-rise buildings in the city, and the view is astonishingly good.

The sky seems to be a huge hazy lampshade, and the stars in the lampshade are like static agate spots, flickering in the gray and black night sky, and the mottled and fantastic circle covers the whole field.

In addition to the Milky Way visible to the naked eye, the nebula can be barely seen.

In the neon lights of the city, you can't even see the stars, let alone the nebulae.

"Our astronomical telescope may be able to see these nebulae more clearly." Shen Cangye said.

He got up and came to the car and brought the astronomical telescope.

The two fiddled for a while, and set up the astronomical telescope.

"Wow, I saw the Orion Nebula!"

"The Andromeda Nebula! You're so lucky!"

The human eye cannot accumulate exposure, and what they see through a telescope with the naked eye is mostly just tints of color.

Anything farther away is gray and gray, not comparable to the colorful pictures on the Internet.

but.

When seeing these wonders through the astronomical telescope for the first time, no one can restrain the inner OS——

It's amazing that there is such a thing in the sky!

They watched excitedly for a long time.

The young couple next to him were all stunned.

——Is there any mistake, are these two people so hardcore?

"Hey, I saw Neptune Star!" Wendy said suddenly, "Come and see!"

Neptune's star is a very faint planet, almost invisible to the naked eye, and it takes a long time to find it with an astronomical telescope.

Shen Cangye quickly moved to the telescope, and saw a beautiful sea blue ball in his field of vision.

"It is said that Neptune will rain diamonds!" Shen Cangye said, "If you can go to the top to pick up a bag, it will be distributed. Diamonds will last forever, and one will last forever."

Neptune's atmosphere is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane.

Under enough pressure and temperature, methane can break down to form diamonds.

——In other words, the high-temperature gas around the planet's core has the conditions to form diamonds.

"A celestial body has a lifespan of hundreds of millions of years. How can a carbon-12 equiaxed crystal system last forever?" Wendy teased him rarely.

The young film couple next to them took another look at them.

The film men silently moved their doily away five meters.

The Filin woman felt that she never wanted a diamond ring in her life.

Shen Cangye glanced at Agor and sighed, "Didn't we agree that we won't talk about academics today?"

"Ah, accidentally." Wendy quickly covered her mouth.

She blinked, "Forget it and give up, anyway, we two science students will never be romantic."
