16. Dark star

The birdman's next words confirmed Qu Zhaodi's casual guess.

"When two atoms meet, they are arranged in a certain bonding order and space to form a hydrogen molecule. The molecule is the most basic unit to maintain the physical and chemical properties of real matter, that is, when the hydrogen molecule appears, it has the conditions for the formation of dark stars. After hundreds of millions of years of precipitation, we have a home. In fact, the specific time when the precipitation began, the proton people have long been unable to verify, which is the same mystery as the birth of our creatures, no one can answer. The only thing I remember is that after the Big Bang, the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation plummeted from the initial 1 billion degrees Celsius to minus 270 degrees Celsius, which is in the absolute zero range. So the state of hydrogen changes, and at first they are colorless and odorless liquids, and it rains lightly in the universe, but the light rain quickly condenses into a snowflake-like solid as the temperature continues to fall, and does not melt. This solid hydrogen is gravitationally concentrated over the years, eventually forming a new celestial body, the dark star. On the dark matter star, the Aga atoms that can produce the ability to think are extremely rare atomic mutations, and it is possible for hundreds of millions of Aga atoms to merge into a proton man, and the physical characteristics of the proton man look like your human brain. ”

When telling the process of the formation of the dark matter star, the display screen of the birdman transformed from the right wing is also occupied by various drastic changes of light, as if the singularity exploded at the moment of the birth of the universe, and the true meaning of all life was concentrated on the right. The slowly rotating globe on the left display feels insignificant like a screensaver that doesn't have any real meaning. It's like an outcast from the universe, thrown into a dark corner and never remembered again.

"You are going to show me in this way that life on Earth is not only not unique in the universe, but it is many later than other life...... 100 million years, right? Qu Zhaodi asked.

At the end of the announcer's stereotypical announcement, the birdman let out a vain laugh that made it seem like a girl was receiving flowers and a diamond ring from the man who proposed to her.

He tapped the right display screen with his silver flashing fingers, and the whole process of the Big Bang began to replay, all kinds of light of different strengths burst out rapidly, the temperature of the universe was transformed from high to low, and the universe that had not yet formed a system in the transformation continued to expand and explode on a large scale. In the eyes of geophysicists, there is absolutely no concept of life in such a high-temperature and high-radiation environment, and even if the temperature of the universe has dropped from 1 billion degrees to several thousand degrees, no living thing can really withstand it.

But at this moment, the big explosion picture fell on Qu Zhaodi's eyes, and the clouds of strange colors were really like children born in black, they came directly out of the thick ink-like mother, and the light seemed to represent the generation of their consciousness.

"There is no water, no oxygen, no protein formation, but there is life that can walk freely, for the study of biology, human beings really only stay within a hundred steps, as ignorant as frogs sitting in a well and watching the sky?"

He muttered to himself, unable to tell what was in his heart.

The birdman was staring at this point, his eyes colorless, and he couldn't see the thoughts behind the movement, so he couldn't see how much he despised the humans of Earth.

On the peaks of the Great Khing'an Mountains, the night is so quiet, although the trees not far away make the rustling sound of the leaves shaking from time to time, but it adds to the desertion of early summer.

After being silent for a long time, Qu Zhaodi asked thoughtfully: "The process of the birth of the Proton Man and the Dark Matter Star you just mentioned is called 'the first half of the night'?" ”

The birdman waited for him to take the initiative to ask, and when he finally arrived, he went down energetically: "Yes, the first half of the night belongs to the stage of microbial formation. But what are microorganisms? Conscious but not thinking, their appearance in the Big Bang is meaningless. So next, it's our turn to be most concerned about the topic - the generation of wisdom. When the singularity has been extending infinitely from a point that exists, the various celestial bodies have distanced themselves from each other, so that the seeds of wisdom sprout in space, and the seedlings begin to thrive as soon as they emerge from the soil. ”

Qu Zhaodi's gaze moved away from the display screen, turned his sore neck and said, "Go around, what you have always wanted to explain, isn't it that the wisdom of the human beings on the earth has been developed by tens of billions of years later than your proton people?" I admit that this time difference is irreparable, and the extent to which Earth and the Dark Star civilization have reached are not the same. Since you are already a highly civilized intelligent being, you should march to a higher realm, but why should you look down on the earth and grab the territory of us inferior beings? ”

The Birdman no longer answered, but determined a coordinate on the screen on the right as if it were the Earth, and then zoomed in and magnified a blurry blue swirling cloud, revealing a faint star hidden within.

"Isn't that the Great Magellanic Cloud, 160,000 light-years away from the Milky Way?" Qu Zhaodi was easily recognizable. Although it is difficult to tell which direction the vortex is located from the angle given by the birdman, it can be seen that it is located at the junction of the constellation Swordfish and the Yama. Crossing those two constellations at the same time, what is it if not the Big Magellanic Cloud?

However, before he could take a closer look, the nebula disk had already escaped from all sides of the screen, and the faint planet was magnified in equal proportions to Earth, until it covered the entire screen.

Although the birdman described the birth and development of the dark matter star as a fanciful one, it could not withstand the final comparison. Sitting side by side with the beautiful, blue ocean of Earth, the planet on the right is extremely ugly. Although it is purported to be made of solid hydrogen, there is no snowflake white on its surface, the black-brown earth is covered with deep pits, and some stone-like objects are motionless, even the few rays that can barely give light seem to be stagnant. If it weren't for the dreary and frightening atmosphere, it would have been mistaken that it was Mars, but on closer inspection, it was not sand, but a strange metallic substance, and the so-called rocks were shadows cast by some protrusions of the ground, which were constantly absorbing the dim light of the sky.

The world was so oppressive, but the Birdman described it with patriotic passion, "This is the home of the Proton Man, known as the Dark World." The Big Bang led to the formation of the Magellanic Galaxy, and thanks to the presence of the Gloma, dark stars were the first stars to be born in them. Outwardly, it does not possess the rich colors of your earth, and it does not have the conditions for aerobic organisms to arise and evolve, but it is dozens of rounds older than your ancestors and has enough power to conquer you. In this way, you should understand my intention to show two planets at the same time: my right hand will sooner or later conquer my left, and the living earth and everything on it will become my spoils. Young people, don't complain, don't think that fate is unfair to you, because no one can violate the rules of survival of the strong that run through the universe from beginning to end! ”
