Chapter 694 Eridanus

Chapter 694 Eridanus

Melina: "What does this mean?"

The Star Alliance research team was stunned by this discovery. They surrounded the team leader, frantically adjusting various data.

“There are three possibilities. First, the cold spot itself has not changed, but the way we observe it has changed, such as different detection sensitivity or updated definitions of theoretical models.”

"The second possibility is that cold spots are actually topological traps in the early universe, such as cosmic textures. As the universe expands, this macroscopic energy structure may unfold or undergo morphological changes, causing its affected area to appear to expand on the Cmb map."

Melina: "What about the third one?"

The head of the science team remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "The third possibility is interaction with other cosmic structures. This scenario assumes that the cold spot is a dynamically evolving celestial system."

"If it really is a supermassive black hole, and there happens to be another slightly smaller space next to it, under the influence of gravity, they may undergo a cosmic-scale merger event, forming a larger supercavitary complex."

"If the cold spot itself is a movable entity, it may be stretched and deformed by tidal forces when it approaches a gravitational source with extremely large mass, thus appearing to be larger in some directions."

Melina's gaze sharpened: "I remember you once said that although you observed a void near the cold spot, this void would not cause the current state of the cold spot. In other words, within your observation range, you did not find the void and the giant gravitational source you hypothesized."

Science team leader: "Yes, you're right. We haven't found it."

Melina: "Then can we rule out the third possibility?"

The observation room was completely silent.

The head of the science team said blankly, "I don't know."

Melina frowned and pressed, "What do you mean by 'I don't know'?"

"The first possibility is extremely small, as our detector is at the forefront of cosmology and the theoretical model is close to perfect. The second possibility is that we have not found any evidence of the existence of the space hub, and the theoretical prediction does not match the observation. According to the cosmic wave texture theory, it should leave a characteristic hot spot and a cold spot opposite each other after interacting with CMB photons. But what we observed was a relatively independent low-temperature region, not the paired characteristic structure predicted by the theory."

The head of the science team gradually calmed down: "After eliminating all the impossibilities, the last guess is most likely the closest to the truth."

He drawled, "After all, what we observe is only our own universe. What if there are parallel universes?"

Melina took a deep breath. Her mind was in turmoil, and she needed to find a quiet place to calm down. "Alright, you guys continue your research. Moka, send the news about Cold Spot back to the Star Alliance, and notify the fleet to proceed at full speed towards the Node World."

The research team leader suddenly looked up and slightly opened his mouth.

The cold spot is expanding; if the starship returns immediately, it might be able to get rid of it.

The node world is very close to Cold Spot. Should the fleet still go there? Isn't that just sending them to their deaths?

But when he saw the determined looks in Melina's and the Stardust humans' eyes, he silently shut his mouth.

There are countless reasons to stop the fleet from going to the Node World, but only one reason to support it—and that one reason is worth more than a thousand. The mere mention of the Lord's presence is enough to make them overcome all difficulties and set off without hesitation.

As Melina emerged from the observation room and passed the crew rest area, she overheard Dong Shi, a human from Earth, chatting with a witch.

"Hey, witch, do you know our Blue Planet? Before, our Blue Planet was compressed into the microscopic world. Later, the Lord brought us to the macroscopic world. It is said that a mysterious force used the microscopic world as a cage to imprison us."

The witch's expression was unusually serious: "I understand, it's the Satan of your legend, isn't it?"

"...That's a Western legend. Ah, well, well, now the West has become part of the East, it's all the same."

Dong's eyes darted around.

Interstellar travel is incredibly boring; among all the civilizations in the fleet, only the witch is truly skilled at listening.

Dong's favorite way to relax is to chat with the witch: "We have a legend about the Eridanus cold spot that you just mentioned."

Phaethon, the son of Helios, the sun god, and Clementine, the sea goddess, often heard his mother tell stories about his father. So, throughout his childhood, he dreamed of his father driving a golden chariot across the sky. But his friends did not believe that his father was the sun god, so he ignored his mother's advice and went to find his biological father.

He came to the Temple of the Sun God, who asked him why he had come. He replied, “Father, no one believes I am your son. I need a gift from you to prove it to them.”

"The sun god agreed, but Phaethon demanded to drive the sun god's golden chariot. However, he could not control the chariot, which crashed back and forth between the constellations, setting the fur of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor ablaze, and then swept low over the sky, turning Libya into a desert and drying up lakes and seas. Finally, he completely lost control of the reins, and the chariot went out of control. The sun god had to intervene, striking the chariot with a bolt of lightning, and Phaethon, along with the burning chariot, plunged into the constellation Eridanus, perishing in the waves."

The witch was not only a good listener, but also a good thinker.

He lowered his eyes and thought seriously for a long time: "So, Eridanus is the place where gods fell?"

Dong waved his hand and laughed awkwardly, "It's just a legend. You know, every civilization and every region has different legends. For example, in our Eastern constellation Eridanus, there are six star officials, including Jade Well, Heavenly Garden, and Heavenly Water Commission. According to our definition of star officials, Eridanus has become a combination of pasture, translator, military flag, well, and orchard."

Both being Earth civilizations, the East and West have vastly different perceptions of the Eridanus constellation: one sees it as a land of fallen gods, while the other sees it as a rich pasture.

Dong Shi didn't take these legends to heart at all, because there were simply too many legends about the Blue Star civilization.

The witch composed herself, speaking with particular seriousness: "No, you are the chosen people of the God's Heir, unique and possessing distinctive qualities. The first humans to follow the God's Heir evolved into Stardust Humans, but what about you Blue Star Humans?"

Eh?

I felt insulted.

The humans of Earth are indeed quite mediocre. Although they follow a technological path, their technological level is not particularly outstanding within the Star Alliance. They only have their current status because of the Lord's favoritism.

The witch noticed Dong's embarrassment and discomfort, and advised him, "The gods' favor comes with conditions. If you are useless, the gods will only treat you as pets, not as chosen members of their race. Have you ever considered that perhaps the legends passed down on your planet to this day are not just legends, but a kind of record? Like the poems of wandering bards?"

Melina paused at the doorway.

Is it the poetry of a wandering poet?
