Chapter 415 The truth hangs high above the starry sky

As the night came, the electric lights in the car made a creaking sound as the carriage shaking.

The members of the post office driving with hats and shaking carriages were moving towards Germany in the forests of Luxembourg, towards the borders set by the EU and towards Germany.

It was unknown how long it took, but the night was still dark, and Little Daisy had woken up, and she was also lying in Xue's arms and watching the movie she played.

I don’t know what segment I saw, but suddenly I thought of my father and my mother.

She asked timidly:

"Brother, why do the stars in the distance become the sustenance of human thoughts?"

"It's very simple, because at night, when you look up, you can see the scenery, which is a shining world that others can see." He smiled and turned on the next page of the ink-printed book "Celestial Body Operation" he bought in Luxembourg, and then said gently in the curious eyes of Xue and Little Daisy:

"I'll tell you a story, a human past that you may not be unfamiliar with."

(On July 24, 1543, an old man who had been bedridden for a long time was already dying. However, he showed expectant eyes, as if he wanted to see something before his death.

He wanted to see his relatives? No, he was looking forward to a book, an unusual book! Suddenly, he heard someone shouting: "The book is here! The book is here!" The old man smiled. A newly printed book was delivered to the old man. The old man's eyes could no longer see clearly, so he had to stroke the new book with his hand and smell the fragrance of its ink with his nose.

This old man is the famous Polish astronomer Copernicus. That new book is the immortal work "Theory of the Movement of the Celestial Bodies" written by the old man for his whole life. This is not an ordinary book, it is a challenge book!

In this book, Copernicus bravely expressed his own point of view: I advocate that the earth moves. In addition to its own rotation, the earth also has certain movements and is still roaming. It is actually a planet.

Among all the planets in the solar system, the sun is the center... The sun is above the throne and rulees the planets like children and daughters around you.

In this book, Copernicus also wrote such a bold saying: "I will not retreat in the face of anyone's reproach. A boring talker who knows nothing about mathematics will quote the chapters of the Bible and criticize and attack my works. I will never pay attention to this opinion, and I despise them.")

"This is the truth, the truth belonging to the starry sky, hanging high above the sky, carrying the ever-expanding gravitational waves, surrounding it into the light that illuminates the world."

Andaoyuan's calm narration came to.

"It sounds great, I want to go to the stars to see it."

Through the window, Little Daisy saw the clear night sky and the shining galaxy outside the white snow-covered clouds far away.

"There will be one day, and one day, human civilization will leave its birth mother and sail toward the heart of the galaxy billion light years away."

There is a little more reverence in Andaoyuan's words, which is a perception of civilization and the future:

"Of course, now you still need to have a good sleep to maintain your spirits, otherwise, if you see your Grandpa Charles Andrew tomorrow, Xue and I will probably be scolded."

He could probably imagine that the slightly serious German astronomer outside Mr. Kleck's letter, and he heard that he was once one of the most famous professors of astronomy in Cambridge.

Later, because observing the star cluster in the England Islands was not the optimal solution, and because of the tidal recovery of spiritual power and the leap of astrology, I chose to conduct research in Trier.

"It's okay, let her look at the stars in the distance."

Xue held her beautiful face and looked at the galaxy hanging in the distance, saying to Andaoyuan:

"I haven't noticed it before. In the high-latitude forest on the other side of this planet, the starry sky is so beautiful."

When Andaoyuan heard the silver-haired girl say this, he did not dissuade her again.

Instead, he pointed to the stars in the distance and said:

"Since you don't want to sleep, I'll tell you about human records of stars. Since ancient times, humans have linked groups of three or five stars with their mythical characters or instruments, and called them "constellations".

In 1930, the International Astronomical Federation used precise boundaries and based on ancient Greek mythology passed down from the Middle Ages, it divided the sky into eighty-eight formal constellations. These constellations were widely used in the field of navigation and were a means to determine the direction of the sky in almost all civilizations.

Du Fu mentioned in the ancient poem "Presented to Wei Ba Chushi": The two stars of Shen and Shang, one in the east and the other in the west, will never meet each other. The stars of Betelgeuse are actually Orion; and the Xin Su, also known as Shang Su, is Scorpio;

"If you don't meet in life, you're moving like participating in business" refers to these two zodiac signs."

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the uneven wetlands in the forest, and accompanied by his poet-like description, this night had a more gentle sense of time.

Just like the "Theory of the Operation of the Celestial Body" recorded in the yellowed parchment scroll in his hand, it spans centuries with the vastness of truth.

In the second half of the night.

Xue and Little Daisy were finally a little sleepy and fell asleep on the soft red cushion of the carriage.

Only Andaoyuan finished reading the book quietly, then put it in his backpack, feeling the slight bumps of the carriage, and looking at the lighthouse flickering in the forest in the distance.

In fact, from a political and geographical perspective, although the border line is inevitable, for most ordinary people and daily life, the border line basically has only an illusory concept left. Because no matter how far we live, no one will really live on the border line.

But no one can suppress this curiosity as to what the border line looks like.

There was once an Italian photographer Valerio Vincenzo, who used a Hasselblad 50mm lens camera that could only take 12 photos per volume in 1964, to capture a unique artistic border line.

There are wooden corridors that span the coastline between Germany and Poland, and there are also park stone tablets that intersect Belgium and the Netherlands.

Of course, at this moment, he is experiencing the journey from Luxembourg to the German border.

There was only a forest ranger guarding the border. The old hunter glanced at the beacon hanging on the carriage, which belonged to the 'North Wind'.

I waved my hand and let them go, but said this when the distance was not short and closer.

"I remember when I came back, I brought me two bottles of good wine."

The postman waved his hat brim and revealed the separation etiquette of the young man from Nordic Europe: "No problem, Mr. Old Bar."

"I'm not old yet, stinky brat."

The old hunter said with a smile, and then watched the carriage go away, but there seemed to be a little more appreciation in his eyes. I don’t know who said this to:
Chapter completed!
