Chapter 52: We Must Know
Three days passed quickly.
Except for going to the bathroom, everyone can only be restrained in their own seats. Just like going to jail, it is a very uncomfortable thing.
Gravity is decreasing little by little. When centrifugal force is completely equivalent to gravity, people will experience the feeling of complete weightlessness.
The freshness of tourists has long passed, replaced by an inexplicable uneasiness and irritability. It has been three days since the scenery is beautiful, and the excitement at the beginning has become boring.
Weight loss looks funny and fun, but it is actually a very terrible thing.
First of all, the blood pressure on the head will rise and the legs will begin to swell. There is an image of medical term called "pig head and bird leg syndrome". A medical term called "Charlie Brownian effect".
Secondly, because the brain loses the constraints of gravity and floats in the skull, it may cause blurred vision. These symptoms are collectively called vision damage and intracranial compression syndrome.
Even if medical technology is developed, these diseases cannot all disappear, so the elderly and underage children are not allowed to go to space.
In this case, the tourists became extremely silent and spoke softly.
Boys can only pretend to be bold, and girls become real ladies.
"Mr. Zhang, do you feel panic? I don't feel very comfortable."
"No, it's good if you get used to it. You can take some inefficient nitric oxide and other drugs."
"I've eaten it, but I still feel very uncomfortable."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "In addition to physiological factors, there are also psychological factors, which are a bit similar to wilderness phobia. The main reason is that this place is too empty and will be cured when you return to the ground."
The girl who had just met for three days stuck out her tongue and her face was not very good.
In fact, it’s not just her, but almost everyone.
Perhaps she recalled that this was in the boundless universe. Humans and the universe were separated by a thin layer of glass.
Outside there is complete nothingness, nothing but deadly radiation.
Any little mistake can make the entire batch of people die without a place to die.
Or maybe, they suddenly turned around and looked down at the earth from a height of more than 30,000 kilometers. After entering a wider line of sight, they would find that the earth was really too small, just a small stone floating quietly in the solar system.
Almost all humans reproduce and survive on this small stone.
Humans have created countless stories here.
Including the four ancient civilizations, the eight miracles, the four world wars, countless love, hate, and love...
But the earth is too small, and all history, culture, religion, and war are just small stories on small stones.
There is really not much difference between humans and bacteria.
All intrigues and scheming have become mutual devours between bacteria.
The head of the coalition government has become the leader of bacteria.
The richest man in the world is equivalent to the largest individual among bacteria.
Then what?
Which bacteria dies, which bacteria gets a spouse, which bacteria is a shiny popular admirer... Even if the earth is completely conquered - this mother who is very doting on children, what can it be explained?
The outside world is so big, so big!
This wonderful contrast made them completely ignite the pride they had naturally conquered a few days ago.
In a few hours, in a silence, the world-famous "Tenglong" space city arrived.
"So small, why are you so small..."
People's first reaction was that this space city was so small.
The tour guide introduced: "It's not small anymore, it's one kilometer in diameter! After all, it's an old equipment a hundred years ago. There was no space elevator at the beginning. It's so difficult to build this space city."
Gravity-free experimental areas, plant cultivation areas, and circular living areas, these materials have long been familiar to the public.
Because of its early age and old facilities, this space city has gradually become a tourist destination and an interstellar port for cargo transportation, and does not have much scientific research equipment.
Small, coupled with the desertedness, means there is no sense of security.
Even if we successfully arrived at the destination, it did not inspire the enthusiasm of the tourists. Everyone just looked at it symbolically, but the tour guide kept introducing it alone.
"Porcelain was born in this space city. It is called the 'a gift from space to humanity'."
"If you live in a gravity-free zone for a long time, people will grow tall. It is very possible to stay in space for a while and grow five centimeters taller..."
No matter how you motivate your emotions, people still have little reaction.
There are many people taking photos, and there are already land-oriented networks in this space city.
They took photos with a "click" and uploaded them to their friends circle, which would make their relatives and friends envious...
Anyway, no matter what, you have to pretend to be very enjoyable. After spending money, you can't say it's not fun, right?
Most people are completely scared after going to space once and never dare to come up again.
Human beings have evolved on the earth for millions of years and have a certain degree of confidence in the place where they live, even if they are self-righteous.
Not everyone wants to abandon the gentle harbor and live that lonely and worried life.
Zhang Yuan sighed. After experiencing such things for a lot, he became accustomed to them. Anyway, there are so many people who sign up for space travel, and there is no need for repeat customers.
He turned around and said with a smile: "Ms. Li, we are going to follow the team to the moon soon, so say goodbye here."
The girl who had been together for three days in the same carriage asked, "Mr. Zhang, I have one last question to ask you."
Zhang Yuan said: "I was thinking, maybe you are a reporter? From your every move, it seems that there is this characteristic."
The girl raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "You discovered it! But I don't mean to interview, but I just want to know why you and your companions leave the solar system and go to such a far place?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a while and replied, "My answer to your question is, I don't know."
"Don't know?" the girl showed a puzzled look.
"Yes, we don't know. We don't know the world outside the solar system, so we want to go and see. Have you seen the earth under your feet? Do you think our parent star is very small, just a very ordinary sapphire?"
"Yes, very young." The girl sighed, "When I came to space, my whole mood seemed a little different, and I felt like I was out of the world... Although I was still very scared, I still have to thank so many space workers for their silent efforts. I finally understood why their salary was so high."
Zhang Yuan continued: "I don't know how vast the starry sky is, we want to know."
"We don't know what the earth will become in three thousand years, we want to know."
"I don't know, it's our motivation."
"We must know, we will know in the end."
There are always a small number of people who are willing to muster up the courage to jump high from small stones, lift their hearts, tiptoe, stretch out their fingers, and touch the deadly and boundless starry sky.
Even if you pay the price of your life.
The woman was silent for a while and said with a smile: "Your answer is really philosophical. I will write it down and can I post it to my friends?"
"It's better... don't want it!" Zhang Yuan felt that he really couldn't afford to lose that face.
