Chapter 22 Don't be a sinner to all mankind
In space, there is actually no distinction between up and down.
There is no distinction between southeast, northwest and northwest. Things like direction are the product of human beings under the influence of the earth's gravity. That is, the direction pointing to the center of the earth is downward, and vice versa.
Human orientation is based on reference objects.
After entering space, humans will float in space due to weightlessness, and all reference objects will keep changing, so it is meaningless to determine the direction.
It's not accurate to use "floating" to describe it. It's not bad just as a metaphor.
At this moment, all four people in the room were floating in the air. The originally empty room saved the four people inside a lot of trouble.
Only the "World Heritage List" floats in the air, showing Arthur page by page the memories that once existed on the earth, the moon and Mars.
The memory was broken after reaching Mars.
The woman warned, "Zero, go get the book and leave quickly."
"No, we can't leave empty-handed."
"Come on, you'll be in trouble if the guards find you." Another man said as he moved in Arthur's direction.
"Boy, don't become a sinner of mankind."
"What did you say?"
As soon as Arthur realized that this sentence was obviously meant for him, the door under his feet suddenly opened and everyone slid towards the door.
When he was about to reach the door, he was instantly captured by a gravity net.
The room returned to its original position, the gravity net disappeared, and Dawson walked in from behind the two guards.
He glanced at the three masked people, and then said: "Uninvited guests."
"Humph, is this the way Mir treats guests?" Zero's hands have been bound by a blue chain, and it is impossible to break free.
Under such embarrassment, Zero showed no fear at all. Instead, he stood straighter than before and his tone was harder.
"Do I need to be polite to you for trespassing?"
When Dawson said this, the two guards also laughed.
"You cold-blooded new humans." Zero cursed.
"I'm not cold-blooded. My body temperature is the same as that of an ordinary human being. However, if you break into the spaceship without permission, you will be betrayed and exiled."
Exile is the cruelest law, but Dawson is not exaggerating.
It is impossible for these people to break into the spacecraft without knowing that they are breaking the law. Of course, they also know that if they are discovered, they will be sentenced to exile.
Why do they still come to me without hesitation?
"Arthur Lin, are you here like this?" Dawson waved his hand and asked the guards to take the three people away first, then walked up to Arthur and asked, "Are you with them?"
"Teacher, how is this possible?"
Arthur was about to explain when he heard the three people outside the door shout again: "Become the sinner of all mankind, think about what we said."
Dawson looked at Arthur with sharp eyes, "What did they say to you?"
"Actually, it's nothing. They didn't explain anything clearly at all, and you just came in."
Dawson was not satisfied with Arthur's answer, "If you think of something important, remember to tell me as soon as possible. It is related to the safety of the spacecraft. Don't slack off."
"Of course, I will." Arthur said sincerely.
"What do you have in your hand?" Dawson, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around.
Arthur quickly held the book in his chest, "It's the book I was reading before I was brought here."
"A physical book? Made on Earth?"
"Well, it is indeed."
Arthur knew that he had to be careful with what he said. If he lied in front of Dawson, he would most likely suffer in the end. Therefore, he answered whatever was asked and answered the facts as much as possible. This was the safest way.
He answered that it was already dinner time in his parents' rest cabin. When his mother Catherine saw Arthur coming back, she walked up to him and hugged him tightly.
"Mom, you look bad."
"She is sad." Lin Yun replied.
Arthur sat down at the dining table and asked, "Why?"
"Because of a terrible rumor." Catherine's eyes were filled with tears. On a spaceship, water is very important to the body. Tears will take away a lot of water and also lose a lot of trace elements from the human body. Generally speaking, doctors don't recommend it.
Everyone shed tears at every turn.
"Mom, what's going on?"
"I heard United Airlines plans to abandon Mars."
"What?" Arthur was sure that he must have heard his mother's words wrongly. "Mom, please say it again. What did you just say? I think I must have heard it wrong."
"United Airlines plans to abandon Mars." Catherine said word by word.
Arthur shook his head and said with a smile: "Mother, this is impossible. This rumor is so false. It sounds so funny."
"Why do you say it is false? Let me tell you, many things in space that look real are actually false. Those things that are said to be false may actually be true."
"Mom, are you uncomfortable somewhere? Or maybe you have listened to those extremist remarks. They make up some fake news from time to time to disturb everyone's thinking. We all know this.
Look at the recent time, wasn't there a rumor that was making a lot of noise, and it was finally proven that someone deliberately wanted to cause conflicts among the spaceships?"
Lin Yun continued what his son said: "Are you talking about the rumors about the couple on the Elite?"
Elite, like Mir, is a huge living spacecraft that set off from Mars decades ago and flew deep into the sky to find new habitable planets. Its technical parameters are similar to Mir in all aspects, and the distribution of residents on it is also similar to that of Mir.
Mir is similar.
Theoretically speaking, things that are strictly forbidden to happen on the Mir are also impossible to happen on the Elite.
But the rumor spread on every United Airlines ship just because it was illogical and even sounded unbanned.
The airy wall of the universe cannot hide any secrets.
It happened half a year ago. It was rumored that an ordinary human man on board the Elite fell in love with a new human woman.
Falling in love itself is already a very low probability thing, but there are always surprises, right?
The rumored ordinary human is named Jack, and the new human is named Ya.
The story of Jack and Ya's love is at most a small dessert on the dining table. Everyone is surprised and sighed, because it is not uncommon for young couples to break up. Ordinary humans and new humans may fall in love. It has not never happened before.
, but the little spark of love soon fades.
Biologists say this is because the two cannot reproduce.
A simple understanding is that even if you get married after falling in love, you cannot reproduce, so this kind of relationship cannot last long.
It sounds very retro, but biologists think this is a more reasonable explanation. Anyway, there has been no successful precedent for hundreds of years.
