Chapter 21
The road became more and more deviated, and there were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road, and even left the urban area and went to the suburbs.
When I saw the mountain, I didn't even have a street light, so I had to turn on the high beam to illuminate the road ahead.
How long? "I finally couldn't hold my breath and asked.
Shang Muxiao looked out the window and said, "Come on." "How to listen and how to perfunctory tone.
In the following hour, the conversation reappeared no less than three times.
From eight o'clock to ten o'clock, the dark road is lined with large fruit trees. Shang Muxiao said that it was a cherry tree, but he didn't know if it was true or not.
Here we go, stop! "As if seeing some sign, Shang Muxiao suddenly motioned me to stop, and before the car stopped, he opened the door and jumped out of the car.
what are you doing...
I was rarely a little angry for his dangerous behavior.
The car turned off, I sat in the wheelchair and walked in his direction. The grass was a little uneven, but it did not affect the wheelchair.
Don't you know it's very dangerous just now..." I walked around the car, my eyes suddenly brightened, and I was a little speechless for a moment.
In front of you is an open viewing platform, and the bottom of the mountain is dark with only scattered lights. The distant city is blocked by the mountains, surrounded by the rustling of the wind over the leaves. When the light brought by high technology disappeared, the light from the stars became more shining than ever.
Look, isn't the scenery beautiful? "
Shang Muxiao raised his arm and introduced this dazzling Milky Way to me.
Chapter 9 He's a Neuropath
One of the main constellations overhead in the autumn night sky in the northern hemisphere is Pegasus. It consists of several stars of varying brightness and size. The four most dazzling constellations form a huge quadrilateral, with each side representing a direction, and are very important signpost constellations in the autumn night sky, also known as the autumn quadrangle.”
Ah, see the quad... but why Pegasus? Where does this thing look like a horse? "
The Pegasus we see is upside down, with the legs at the top and the head and neck at the bottom. "
I tried my best to describe the appearance of Pegasus to Shang Muxiao, and then I found several nearby constellations and bright stars with the help of the "Autumn Quadrangle".
That one is Vega, the one below it is Altair, and the one in the middle is the Milky Way. "
In addition to being full of countless unsolved puzzles, the starry sky is also full of endless human imagination and extreme làng mantra.
If he can tell me earlier that he is looking for the stars, I can bring a star pen in advance. Right now, I can only talk about it, and he will listen.
After speaking for more than ten minutes, the starry sky above his head was almost finished. I stopped talking, just quietly enjoying the scenery in front of me with Shang Muxiao.
After a long time, Shang Muxiao suddenly said: "Professor Bei, when you look at the stars, do you feel depressed about your insignificance? "He put his hands on the viewing platform made of masonry and looked up at the starry sky. We are like a speck of dust in the universe. Appearing, disappearing. Appearing and disappearing again. All that you hate, admire, and despise is indistinguishable and insignificant...is it?"
Thinking back to the first time I used an astronomical telescope to observe the stars, I seem to have had this kind of thought-human beings are really small and humble beings in the entire universe.
Maybe standing under the vast sky, it's hard not to think about it.
Do you know the difference between humans and gorillas? "
Shang Muxiao looked at me with a puzzled expression on his face. Some for me and some for this question.
Are you testing me? Humans have reason, while animals have only intellect? "Even if he was confused, he still gave me an answer.
The night wind on the mountain was a little cool, I tightened my coat and said: This is Schopenhauer's point of view. But in Nietzsche's view, there is basically no difference between humans and gorillas in terms of their contribution to the world. Only very few people can transcend their animal nature and become 'superhumans' who are truly valuable. So you are right, we are all insignificant to this world. "
Hearing this, Shang Muxiao lowered his eyelashes, and there was a hint of loneliness on his face.
But..." As the conversation turned, his eyelashes trembled, and I continued, for us living in this world, relatives, friends, colleagues, lovers, each individual is very important. Put it in the universe It may be dust, but when you see it, each one is an extremely precious gem, and each one is unique." It's just that these gems may not belong to us forever.
I didn't say the last sentence. Although I look at everything in the world with pessimism, I don't ask others to be the same as me.
Young people like Shang Muxiao still have a long way to go in life, so they can slowly explore the survival theory that suits them, without the need for others to indoctrinate them.
gem? "Shang Muxiao laughed out loud, and said several words about gems in a row," he almost muttered to himself at the end.
My life is really poor. "
Just when I thought he scoffed at my argument
When he was on the nose, he suddenly shouted towards the observation deck, then put his hands up, and the whole person stood on the narrow masonry wall.
