Chapter 161 The world is so big
The Queen of Green Spirit was speechless for a long time, and was saddened by her race.
Lydia Shuangyue has a lot of simple thoughts. She was born on Gasmanda Island. She was less than fifty years old. She had not experienced the war of conquest that year. She was not deeply touched by the past glory of the Qingling tribe. She now had only one thought in her mind and asked directly: "His Excellency Xin Ji, is the Federation the greatest country in the world?"
Xin Ji couldn't help but smile. The Qingling clan's understanding of the world was really narrow and terrifying.
He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, not."
Lydia Frost Yue said in surprise: "Is there any country stronger than the Federation?" She could not imagine that there is a more powerful race in the world than the Federation with 600 billion people.
"Of course there are, and countless." Xin Ji sighed and said, "Maybe the Federation is already very powerful in your opinion. In fact, there are at least a thousand civilized races that are stronger than the Federation in the Milky Way. The Federation is just one of the unknown small countries."
Lydia Shuangyue listened to Xin Ji's description, and was shocked, but she couldn't understand this information.
"What is the Milky Way?" asked the Queen Qingling.
Xin Ji simply continued to operate the holographic map. The picture flashed quickly back to Yiling Star. The perspective moved away from the surface and soon entered space to see the full picture of Yiling Star. Then two suns appeared.
"You should be familiar with these two stars. You call them Tipolo and Shalinya. All the light and heat on Yiling Star come from these two suns. Without them, there would be no you. Among them, Tipolo is a yellow dwarf, and its size is 350,000 times that of Yiling Star. It is very terrifying? But there are 200 billion stars in the Milky Way!"
The holographic image flashed, and the panoramic view of the Milky Way was presented in front of two Qingling people. The beautiful galaxy slowly rotated, attracting their gazes, looking at them greedily, forgetting their feelings.
"So beautiful!" the two of them murmured to themselves in a low voice.
Xin Ji magnified the three-dimensional image of the Milky Way a hundred times. After a dazzling switch, Orion's spiral arms spread out in the pavilion. He pointed to a tiny binary star system above his head and said, "This is Tipolo and Shalinya. They are just the most common existences in the Milky Way."
"Every light spot here represents a star, and every star in the sky has a world."
"This is the Milky Way, but..." Xin Ji paused for a moment, looked at the two of them and said softly: "The Milky Way is like dust in the vast universe, like a grain of sand on a beach, insignificant!"
"The diameter of the Milky Way is 100,000 light-years. Above the Milky Way, there are galaxies composed of dozens to hundreds of galaxies. The galaxy clusters and dozens of galaxies form super-galaxy clusters. Super-galaxy clusters are only part of the large-scale fiber structure. There are about two trillion galaxies in the entire universe. The universe is so big that it is beyond the limit of imagination."
Xin Ji's voice was not loud, but it was deafening in the ears of Queen Qingling and Lydia Frost Yue. At this moment, their worldview was shattered and suffocated in their chests, as if they had even difficulty breathing.
The two of them looked dull and looked at the three-dimensional images of the Milky Way, unable to say a word for a long time.
After a while, Xin Ji turned off the projection, and the two of them slowly came back to their senses. The Qingling Queen smiled bitterly and said, "Is this the real world? It turns out that we are so small. Looking at the entire universe, everything we do is meaningless."
Lydia* Frostmoon's eyes were also filled with sorrow, as if her heart was ashamed.
Xin Ji can understand their psychological state at this time. No matter who it is, when they see the greatness of the universe and feel shocked, they will feel powerless and doubt the meaning of their own existence. If they do not adjust in time and immerse themselves in this abnormal state for a long time, their emotions will aggravate and they will even have the idea of suicide.
What's worse is that the worldview of the Qingling tribe is still at the primitive stage of being extremely backward to observe with the naked eye. Even the concept of planets is very vague. It is conceivable that the impact of the vast universe on them is so great.
Xin Ji had no way to solve this situation, so he could only wait for them to adjust themselves.
After a long silence in the pavilion, Queen Qingling was a strong man at the level of Martial Saint after all, and her mind was much stronger than ordinary people. She recovered first, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xin Ji: "I made you laugh."
"It's okay, in fact, I often fall into this kind of self-doubt. I didn't dare to think deeply when I was in astronomy class." Xin Ji's face was not lustful, and he really often felt extremely awe of the universe.
Queen Qingling turned around and patted Lydia Shuangyue who was still unable to extricate herself, and asked curiously: "You mentioned the word light years many times just now. Is this your distance unit?"
"That's right." Xin Ji explained: "Light-year is the distance from the speed of light that travels for a year. This year is the year of our Federation."
"There is also a speed in light?" The Queen Qingling's face showed a strong desire for knowledge.
"Of course, the speed of light is a very important constant in the universe." Xin Ji calculated it quickly in his heart and said, "Using the length unit of your Qingling tribe, one light year is about 30 trillion 'thousand steps'."
"Thirty trillion..." Queen Qingling felt her scalp tingling. This number was too big and too unreal.
In the lives of the Qingling tribe, Gasmanda is almost the same as this world. This island does not have five thousand "thousand steps" from east to west. What is the concept of 30 trillion "thousand steps"? Queen Qingling cannot imagine it at all. She remembers it very clearly. Xin Ji just said that there are 100,000 light years in the Milky Way, and Yiling Star also has 372 light years to the Earth. So how many "thousand steps" are there?
Queen Qingling tried to calculate the distance between the earth and Yiling Star, but she felt dizzy at the beginning and could only give up. She understood that she could no longer describe this journey as "far".
"At such a long distance, how did you get here from Earth?"
Xin Ji smiled and said seriously: "This is the power of technology."
In the following hours, Xin Ji combined the mobile phone demonstration to introduce the concept and application of technology to Queen Qingling. Queen Qingling was very curious about everything about the Federation, and the questions came one by one, almost no stop. Xin Ji tried to answer her in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. Of course, Xin Ji grasped the measure well, and some content that should not be said, such as skipping all the information related to federal confidentiality, or saying vaguely that he didn't understand.
It was getting late until the sun was about to set, and the Queen of Qingling stopped feeling unsatisfied. Although she still had too many things to ask Xin Ji, she had taken Xin Ji for too long and could only stop here today.
"It's a pity that you are about to leave Gasmanda. I don't know if there is any chance to meet you in the future." Queen Qingling said with great regret.
Xin Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm very close to you when I go back, right in the training camp on the other side of Gasmanda."
The Qingling Queen was immediately surprised and asked anxiously: "That Krypton Gold Hand's Training Camp?"
"Yes, Your Majesty knows?"
"I heard Mr. Xiahou mention it once during the negotiations. When our horned eagle knights patrolled the coast, they looked across the sea and could vaguely see a human sentry opposite him, built in the canyon left by the war that year. It was once our city, but it was destroyed by the Federation with a terrible weapon."
