Fly to raging agni lava (2)
A place within sight is a crimson planet. An atmosphere like pale yellow mist enveloped it, flowing slowly, like the outer flame of a flame.
The color is indeed connected with perception. If the blue of the earth reminds them of gentleness and calm, then this red planet reminds them of irritability and cruelty.
The whole cabin broadcast smoothly introduces the general situation of the planet, the tone is the same as the broadcast on the surface temperature and wind before the plane on the earth landed.
"The average pressure of the target planet: 35.2 mbar, the average wind speed: 5.6 m/s, the magnetic field strength: 80% of the earth's magnetic field, soil composition..."
Lucia's voice sounded in the middle.
"Start to slow down."
"The three-dimensional topographic map is being generated."
"I am looking for the best hovering point."
-After these days of trials, Lucia's ability has been widely recognized, and it has replaced the previous semi-automatic navigation system, taking over the entire "distance voyage" navigation.
"TKM-IV appears red, what kind of element is it?"
Ling Yi held his head and looked out the porthole, recalling the chemical knowledge he had stuffed into his mind these days: "...Iron?"
Lin Si continued to ask: "Which compound?"
Ling Yi thought distressingly, slowly sliding his elbow to one side, and he was about to fall.
Lin Si said lightly: "Sit down."
Ling Yi slumped down, unable to think of an answer, and casually mentioned a compound he knew: "Iron oxide."
—— Lin Si often asks a question to test his learning results these days, and because this person's knowledge level is too high, it is almost impossible for Ling Yi to pass the test.
Lin Si twitched his lips: "Explain the reason?"
Ling Yi flattened his mouth and sat on Lin’s lap, kicked his straight and beautiful calves a few times, put his arms around Lin's neck, and whispered: “I’m not going to...”
The power of this small thing’s plop on someone else might be equivalent to a beating, but once it’s on Lin Si, it’s like a cat without paws. Lin Si held him down and said: "The red is red iron. The color of the ore, iron oxide is the main component of hematite. The iron content of this planet is 25%. It is iron-rich soil. Yes, but the production of iron oxide also requires oxidants."
He looked at Ling Yi: "Do you understand here?"
Ling Yi nodded.
Lin Si continued: "Theoretically, there are two possibilities for TKM-IV to be rich in iron oxide... Well, the first is anaerobic organisms, and the second is the direct decomposition of water by stellar ultraviolet radiation. If it is too small, hydrogen escapes, leaving behind oxygen. The first type indicates that there is life and water on the planet, and the second type indicates that there is water on the planet, but the star to which it belongs is unstable."
"Which one is better?" Ling Yi looked at the red planet close at hand.
"The second kind." Lin Si said, "The laws of mathematics and physics are universal in the entire universe, and chemistry is universal under certain conditions, so we can predict any form of stellar activity. But the structure of life is too complicated. If there is life on a planet, there must be infectious diseases. During the great voyages, the viruses and bacteria carried by European colonists killed 70% of Indians. These two races are separated by only one ocean, and we and TKM-IV are one million light years away."
Lin Si usually cherishes words like gold, and only speaks more when explaining knowledge. His explanations are often very clear and specific, making it easy for people to understand what he wants to express.
Ling Yi leaned against Lin's chest and looked out the window in a daze.
In front is a crimson planet, and behind is a vast and deep, but also cold and unforgiving sea of stars. Among the billions of stars, no life can be born from each of them, and if life is born, there is another level of danger.
His age is not enough for him to accurately express his feelings, but he can already understand how small this huge spaceship and the life it carries is on the scale of the entire universe, and any accident can destroy it.
And Lin looked at Ling Yi and thought, if a child of this age lived on the earth in a peaceful age, he should naturally accept everyone's favor, grow up carefree, and have young friendship and love. But after all, he was not born in that era—everyone hoped that they could be born two hundred years earlier and live in the twentieth, twenty-first, or twenty-second century like a fairy tale.
The voyage was lonely and sinister. The people on the spacecraft lived in anxiety about the future every day, so even if the spacecraft had extremely strict personnel control, positions were still arranged for psychologists. And if you want a child to grow up normally, you have to work harder, not only to let him know the cruel facts, but also to let him have hope for the future.
After a while, Ling Yi was really bored and said: "Lin Si, aren't you afraid?"
"Everyone is afraid, but civilization needs continuation. We want to reproduce the most prosperous hometown on a planet someday in the future," Lin Si held Ling Yi's hand, "We love our mother earth very much. The galaxies are shining, so, although afraid, we're still full of hope."
The sound of music faintly came from the room next door. It was the second movement of Deschwalker's "From the New World". This piece of music was adapted into a ballad and named "Nian Hometown".
The chord sounds were low and sad, but in this deep sadness, there is another gentle force spreading and entangled.
It was unknown if Ling Yi understood or not.
Biddy didn’t know when he came, and how long he listened to it. At this time, she walked over in high heels and said with a smile: “It’s really an affectionate confession, so I often say that everyone lacks understanding of Lin—he's very cold, but actually a gentle person."
She stirred the coffee in the cup, sat opposite Lin, and shrugged: "But I don't like it. He always wants to grow lilies on the asphalt road. I can't agree with this."
"Biddy is a pessimist," Lin Si said. "She thinks that at least in our lifetime we will not see the day when civilization will re-prosperity, and only having fun in time is the most important thing."
"Then what are you pursuing?" Ling Yi asked Biddy, tilting his head.
"Finish my work, and then..." Biddy lifted the wavy blond hair to her shoulders, blinked her charming blue eyes, "I can satisfy my own appetite and eroticism to the maximum."
"Biddy," Lin's voice was slightly dissatisfied, "you will teach bad things to kids."
"Don't worry," Biddy said with a smile: "A little angel lives in Lingling's body, and he won't go corrupt in any way."
After a few chats, Biddy brought up the topic: "Lin, the two hundred people of our 'limitless' are really about to suffer from mental breakdown in the spacecraft. They submitted applications frantically, and finally received the advanced spacecraft to TKM. -IV Pathfinder mission, are you going to take the little angel with you?"
Lin Si asked Ling Yi: "Want to go?"
Ling Yi was very curious about the land and nodded excitedly.
Biddy nodded: "Then I will fill in the materials now."
The French girl left, with a graceful figure and graceful steps, as if walking not in a corridor made of silver and white machinery, but on the boulevard of Fontainebleau.
But Ling Yi hasn't learned to appreciate this beauty. He commented on Lin Si before thinking about her. He also felt that Lin was actually a very good person— but he was indeed very cold in life. The vague note made him very uneasy about Lin's past, but Lin Si added that he was one of the hopeful people, which was very contradictory, like a difficult puzzle.
He asked Lin: "Do you love the earth very much?"
Lin Si: "Yeah."
Ling Yi has no memory of the earth and therefore no feelings. He can only compare the feelings of the people on the spacecraft to the earth to his feelings towards Lin Si.
If you leave Lin Si one day, you will definitely feel helpless.
He rubbed Lin's neck affectionately, with a serious tone: "I love Lin, too."
Lin Si's hand was wrapped around Ling Yi's waist, and the heat of that warm skin was transmitted through a thin layer of clothing, and he fell with his breath, often giving people a wonderful feeling— he held it. A little thing that is growing up day by day and relying entirely on him is like touching life itself.
The author has something to say:
① "He always wanted to cultivate lilies on the asphalt road." The original sentence of this sentence is from Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence", "Only poets and sages can believe that if you work hard on the asphalt road, you will cultivate Come out of lilies." Biddy is a little bit ridiculous, it's a little foreshadowing and a little surprise in the future.
Take the kitten to play on land tomorrow =w=
