Chapter 1130： Discussion about the starry sky (1/2)

As the dusk approached, a piece of sunlight in the distance had gradually receded into the mountains, and only a few dark red afterglows were left to illuminate a small piece of sky in the direction of the huge sunset, while a wider dark blue night filled in from another direction. In the deep part of the night, there are stars gradually appearing, and the stars that mortals have looked up to for thousands of years are becoming more and more obvious in that dark blue.

Those bright spots in the night sky carry how many magnificent imaginations and idyllic fairy tales of mortals? Perhaps even the most knowledgeable scholar of the Silver Empire could not describe them one by one. The stars hang high in the sky, in a realm that mortals can’t touch. The long distance and the unchanging brilliance of the ancients have a kind of almost divine meaning to the people who are bound by gravity on the earth, so since ancient times Since then, countless divine stories have unfolded around the stars and have taken root in the hearts of mortals.

And these stories describing the starry sky have nothing to do with the real and vast universe.

Both Amone and Enya have personally confirmed that there is no kingdom of gods above the stars, the kingdom of gods is just a foreign space established by mortal thoughts, and countless stories pointing to the stars in the world are just a layer of magnificence The empty shell, to the universe outside this shell, mortals have never really touched, and never prepared to touch it.

But the vast universe of stars will not stop flashing because of the indifference of mortals-it is there after all, everything in the depths of the star sea moves endlessly, and now there is finally a voice that crosses the distance of the long stars, regardless of the various races on this land Are you ready? The voice has arrived.

Of course, all of this is still unproven, but at least as far as Gawain himself...he thinks this voice is very likely to point to the stars.

After all, there are already visitors from the starry sky like the Kraken on this planet, and there are even the ancient sailor fleet and the alien alliances who set foot on the expedition together with the fleet in the records of the dragon race-so he is willing I believe that there are other intelligent creatures among the distant stars. They may have just opened their eyes and looked up at the sky, and are now sharing this world with the mortals of Loren.

The evening wind blew across the top of the Solin tree and whizzed past the monitoring antenna. The giant magic net hub in the distance and the nearby monitoring antenna made a deep buzzing sound, and Bersetia seemed to suddenly wake up from contemplation. He opened his mouth and said: "As for the stars, astrologers have always had a vision beyond ordinary people. Since the Gondor era, human magisters have successfully measured the distance between our planet and the sun and "Australia" and determined The twinkling stars in the universe are all high-energy stars similar to "Ao". At about the same time, scholars of the silver elves put forward speculations that our "sun" is actually a high-energy star similar to "Ao". The astral body, but it is more gentle, not burning violently..."

"I remember this. When I was a knight apprentice, my mentor brought a book from the city. It recorded a meeting between the human magister and the elven magister, and the debate about stars at the meeting. ," Gawain nodded, "Scholars believe that it is because of the mildness of the sun that we can survive on this planet, and the excessive energy radiation of'Australia' will destroy any ecosystem close to it... On this basis, a Gondor magister once put forward the hypothesis that if there are stars in the universe that are the same as our sun, without violent combustion and with suitable energy levels, and there are solid satellites in their suitable orbits similar to ours. , Then such an environment may give birth to alien life."

"At that time, no one knew the origin of the siren, and no one knew that the mysterious creatures that lived in the deep sea came from the universe--even until today, only a few people in the world know this. This is because of Cecil. "Some of the popular science propaganda of the United States is working," Bertila said with some sigh, "but in that era, the top scholars of the mortal kingdoms have already set their sights on the stars, and even began to speculate about those distant What is the world like now."

"But before they discovered further, the Demon Tide destroyed the mighty Gondor Empire. In order to make up for the huge scars left by the Demon Tide to the world, even the Silver Empire was dragged into a centuries-long whirlpool. , All development has stagnated or even regressed for hundreds of years," Belcetia said softly, and the sound of Ye Hai turning in the wind came from afar. "Think about it now, that was a brilliant but ignorant era, our top Having explored so far into the truth in the depths of the world, the main body of society has been stagnant. A demonic wave arrives, and the Gondor Empire from the top magister to the lowest level of the people is instantly wiped out—our view of this world I don’t know anything about the danger."

"I remember you accurately described this situation," Bertila suddenly looked at Gawain, "the top and bottom layers are seriously disconnected in the field of knowledge, and there is no connection between cutting-edge technology and social productivity... ?"

"The knowledge structure at the top and the bottom completely loses continuity, cutting-edge technology cannot be transformed into the productivity of the entire society, and ultimately leads to serious development imbalances, and the disaster resistance and recoverability of civilization are greatly weakened. When a world-class disaster breaks out, only Some upper-class elites were unable to protect the entire body of civilization, or even unable to protect themselves. Occasionally, individual survivors were unable to rebuild society due to the fragmentation of knowledge, which eventually led to the rapid destruction of the entire civilization. This is how the Gondor Empire ended. ," Gawain casually said the theory he had summarized at the beginning, and then glanced at Bertila somewhat unexpectedly, "Have you seen those things I wrote?"

"...I take a look occasionally," Bertila said unnaturally, "at least that helps me to summarize how everything will die."

"...Anyway, it’s always good to read more books," Gawain touched the tip of his nose, and then sighed, "Alas, it’s a pity that many countries are still following this old path..."

"After all, for the order created by the transcendent, it is the easiest and safest choice to concentrate all knowledge and wealth in one point," Bersetia chuckled and shook her head. "Fortunately, Anzu has been reborn from the ashes, Typhon. Reforms were carried out earlier, and the Silver Empire... that group of congressmen have also become more sober these years."

Gao Wen didn't respond for a moment, but looked into the distance with some wonder, watching the edge of the tree canopy of the Thorin tree gradually be stained with silver light. After a while, he suddenly said: "From a certain perspective, the scene at Gangdor back then The magic wave...maybe it saved the lives of all mortals in the entire world."

Bertila was startled, and subconsciously asked: "Why do you say that?"

"On the eve of the eruption of the magic wave, Gondor and the Silver Empire were already on the verge of exploring the starry sky. The magisters had already analyzed too much knowledge about the stars in theory-they just didn't take that substantial step," Gawain frowned, his voice calm and thought-provoking under the night sky, "And once that step is taken, the biggest'veil' when a mortal knows the world will be lifted, which will lead to a ceremony. The sexual'ultimate disobedience' happened ahead of schedule, and the mortals at that time..."

Gawain did not go on, but Bersetia was already shuddering. At this moment, the night wind had stopped, and there was a rustling sound of leaves from deep in the canopy of the giant Thorin tree. Berthila was the first to break the silence: "So if the magic wave did not erupt, the scholars of Gondor or the Silver Empire will most likely try to explore the starry sky... What happened to the Dragon Race more than a million years ago will happen to us!"

Gao Wen nodded slowly, and his voice became particularly low: "But we may not have the good luck of the dragon race. We can carry the fusion of the gods at the critical point of being annihilated, and find the opportunity in time to lower our heads to survive."

"So the magic wave of the year was actually saving the entire mortal civilization from a macro perspective?" Bersetia's eyes widened. "It sacrificed the Gondor Empire, but saved all the mortal kingdoms except the Gondor Empire. Do you mean this?"
