Chapter 247: The Vast Universe
If the stars only appear one night every tens of millions of years, how will civilization admire and worship it and retain the memory of this vast universe for generations?
If the sun only rises once every tens of millions of years, how will civilization celebrate and cry, and continue to perpetuate the impression of this source of life for generations?
have no idea.
Over such a long period of time, history may be distorted into myth.
And now, "reality" finally appears on this planet again.
Although the Gang Qi layer is agitated and healing at an extremely fast speed, it will still take some time for it to completely close.
And in this short period of time, it almost drove the group of hill people who witnessed the current situation of the universe crazy.
Wang Qi, who returned to "Heaven and Earth", was slightly startled, secretly thinking that it was a good thing he didn't take these country bumpkins to see the sun, otherwise they would all go crazy.
The Children of the Mist have no such worries. He is born with jealousy. He has no "thinking set" in the first place and is not naturally troubled by "obstacles of knowledge and vision". If something is true and makes sense logically, he will accept it—even if it negates everything he has insisted on in the past.
Therefore, it is quite easy for Wang Qi to cheat... and educate.
[Is that "Sun"...] The whisper of the Mist Child echoed in the space.
[Well, yes, that is the so-called "sun/star/sun"] Wang Qi nodded and said: [And the so-called "sun/day" refers to what you call the world rotating once, and a certain star on it. Visually observe a cycle in which a star disappears and reappears. 】
This language has its own rules. As long as "day" is explained clearly, the children of the Mist will have a vague understanding of most units of time.
Through the method of hourglass and clock, Wang Qi demonstrated the concepts of "hour", "quarter", "minute" and "second" to the Son of Mist, and then extended it to "year". (This planet does not have satellites, so the concept of "month" cannot be explained)
[You actually use such a complicated thing to calculate time. 】The Son of Mist sighed: 【In your world, doesn’t the Land of Negativity exist? 】
[No, no, no, it would be better to say that I have only seen weird things like the Negative Earth in your world. 】Wang Qi pointed to the sky, close to the edge of the crack in the Gangqi layer: 【Look over there, the brightest star】
For most planetary observers, the other non-aphrodisiac planets within their own solar territory—especially those close to the sun, or the gas giant planets—are basically the brightest stars in the sky. . If calculated based on the apparent magnitude of the Earth, many planets observed on other planets in this territory have negative magnitudes. (Note, the sun is ?26.7, the full moon is ?12.8, and Venus at its brightest is ?4.89.)
Therefore, the Son of Mist knew exactly which one Wang Qi was referring to.
Wang Qi encouraged him: [Look carefully. 】
In an instant, the starry sky in everyone's eyes was distorted. Wang Qi had previously taught the Son of Mist some small optical spells. Now, the Son of the Mist is using this spell to distort light in a large area to observe things in the distance.
Approximately equivalent to...
An optical telescope with an aperture of seventy kilometers. (By the way, the most powerful optical telescope on earth, the European Extremely Large Telescope E-ELT, has an aperture of 39 meters. The large optical telescope that our country’s astronomers have fought for like physicists fighting for the collider has an aperture of 10 meters. 2 meters.
Therefore, the Son of Mist saw the third planet Bingliu.
Naturally, we also saw the unnaturally large objects surrounding the third planet.
[Is that...your world? What is that big guy? 】
[Ah, that big guy is my magic weapon. 】Wang Qi smiled: 【Also, you made the wrong friend, that is not our world. 】
[Your magic weapon? etc? Is that your magic weapon? 】
At the same time as the Son of Mist exclaimed, Wang Qi felt a gust of wind pushing roughly around him.
[You are so young, but the magic weapon you use is so big? Obviously, the magic weapons of outsiders before were as big as theirs. 】
——Look, isn’t this just a trick out of this silly kid’s mouth?
Wang Qi said; [Oh? Magic weapon? Sure enough, are the relics of my people also in this world? 】
[I don’t know what you are referring to. I didn't pay attention at first, and I didn't have any use for those things, so the Qinghao Sect searched them away. 】
Wang Qi gestured: [I'm looking for a black disk...]
【I did not notice! 】The Son of Mist at least remembered the advice of his other friend Qing Hao Zong and did not leak the secret.
Wang Qi felt very satisfied.
——Target, confirmed.
[I told you so many things, you have to tell me at least something, right? 】Wang Qi said: 【We are friends! 】
【friend? 】The Sons of Mist have almost accepted this setting. But he still said vigilantly: [But according to reasoning, you may also be the evil demon that devours the world. 】
[Your reasoning is totally unreliable, my friend. 】Wang Qi spread his hands: 【Come on, come on, let me prove it to you. 】
As he spoke, Wang Qi raised his hands above his head.
Above his head, a green, emerald-like sphere appeared.
[This is your world - although there should be a knife edge and a hole in it now, it will look like this again in a few days. 】Wang Qi said; 【Can you understand? 】
【Can. 】If the children of the Mist had a head, they would definitely have afterimages.
Wang Qi raised his left hand. Then, the green sphere immediately shrank ten times.
And, it appeared inexplicably in a translucent pipe.
The Son of Mist was shocked; [What kind of miraculous work of nature is this? 】
[Uh... no, this transparent tube does not exist. This is just what I use to represent the trajectory of your world. 】Wang Qi explained: 【It doesn’t exist, understand? 】
[Then why did you do it? 】
[It is convenient for you to understand. 】Wang Qi said.
Immediately afterwards, the image is reduced ten times again.
This time, the third planet and part of its orbit were also displayed in Wang Qi's magic projection.
The shrinking continues. Soon, the second planet, the first planet and the further outer fifth planet also appeared in the illusion. At this time, in the eyes of ordinary people, the "planet" has become integrated with the orbit, making it difficult to see where it is. But the monks can still clearly see the "details" on those planets if they use their eyesight enough.
Then, the stars came out.
When the huge fireball jumped up, everyone was shocked.
Only Ke Guibu bent down and stretched out his eyestalks desperately.
When he saw the green sphere, he understood Wang Qi's intention. Hilly people also have the consciousness that "the world is round." And when he saw the Negative Earth being torn apart, he also thought of what the outside world looked like to the Negative Earth.
Therefore, when the sun appeared, he chose to worship in the way of the people of the hills.
big.
too big.
How grand, how grand?
[This is...a shining thing that is a million times the size of your world. 】 Wang Qi said; 【However, this shining thing is not the whole universe. 】
With Wang Qi's words, the speed of image shrinkage further accelerated. Soon, the huge fireball with a radius of several meters shrank to the size of a fist. Even the details of the Great Sun's territory are gradually blurring.
But at the same time, one, two, three...
More fireballs of the same size appeared in front of everyone.
"There are actually so many!" Puppet Ligu was also confused. He also realized what this monster's actions meant.
But Wang Qi just smiled contemptuously at this sentence.
Is it much?
Are there many double-digit stars? Have you forgotten what you just saw?
The number of stars continues to increase. Gradually, these shining objects even became denser and denser, and then took on the shape of light strips. And the band of light continues to shrink. At the same time, other bands of light appeared.
This is the cantilever of the galaxy.
At this time, all the territories of the Great Sun no longer have "details", and all details have been ignored.
And when an entire river system appeared, more people in the hills realized what Wang Qi was showing.
Thousands of shining things, one after another, one after another.
This is what they saw behind the Negative Land just now.
This is the wall of sighs built by light and darkness.
For a moment, the feeling of "insignificance" engulfed them.
However, Wang Qi's performance continues.
The river system is also shrinking.
Galaxy group, galaxy cluster, supercluster.
stop……
The star structure of this universe that he once saw underground in China.
Even the Children of the Mist felt trembling. In the past, he almost thought that he was the largest creature and the most magnificent individual.
But now, this hugeness means nothing.
When the "Great Sun Realm" appears, the details on the planet are difficult to see clearly. When the "cantilever" appeared, all the details of the "Great Sun Territory" were ignored.
But things like "cantilevers" are only "details that are difficult to notice" in galaxy clusters and superclusters.
He is just a detail.
[So, I can answer you now, why did we come here, friend. ] Wang Qi opened his hand: [The footprint of life is very vast, but the universe is terrifyingly big. We have to travel countless distances and pass through many worlds about the same size as yours before we can get here and tell you these facts. 】
[In this era, no force or organization can occupy such a vast universe. We just happened to discover this planet one step ahead of those world-devouring undead beasts]
Of course, Wang Qi will definitely not tell the Son of Mist what the "immortal road" is. The Heavenly Jealous species are the only creatures that do not trigger the ascension and induction mechanism. However, the evolved species of immortal symbionts on this planet are limited by their immortal power and cannot achieve the fruit of immortality. Therefore, most of the fairy road gates in this world have not been discovered.
As long as Wang Qi doesn't say anything, the possibility of the Son of Mist escaping like this is extremely slim.
Wang Qi now just needs to work harder and deceive this silly child... and educate him well, then there will be no problem.
[So, we are friends now. 】
