Su Huilan, holding Hanran, sat in the woods Sun.
There are two Sun in the sky, one large and one small, as if a father is taking a walk with his child in the sky, the father walking leisurely in front and the child chasing closely behind.
Situ was still on the hillside, observing the movements of the enemy camp opposite.
Looking at Situ's retreating figure, Su Huilan had to admit that he was a perfect person, even his back view was impeccable. She didn't know if he was truly born perfect, or if he had gradually transformed himself over the long years, or if it was simply that his Mental Power influenced the psychology of those around him, and his mental perfection created the impression of external perfection in the eyes of others.
Su Huilan hesitated about whether to tell Situ about her dream. She was certain that Situ was the person in her dream, the Alliance genius her father had mentioned. But would Situ admit it? If he didn't, how could the conversation continue?
She could speak her mind frankly with Qingmu because she felt that Qingmu was like a block of wood. You can say whatever you want to a block of wood; he won't say it, and of course, he might not listen to it either.
But that wouldn't work in front of Situ, because Situ was too strong, frighteningly strong, and too unfathomably deep. The things behind the Alliance were far too complicated. In front of such an unfathomable person, she had to carefully consider her words and the possible consequences of what she said.
With its eyes Hanran, it basked in the sunlight on its back and the woman's fingers stroking its fur, occasionally letting out a soft meow.
Felines' natural sensitivity and intuition told them something, and they suddenly opened their eyes, straightened up, arched their backs, and puffed up their fur.
"What's wrong, Hanran?" Su Huilan looked around and asked in surprise.
It sat Hanran on Su Huilan's lap, its front paws resting on her shoulders, raised its head to look at the sky, and meowed again.
Su Huilan looked up following its gaze and saw that the two Sun in the sky had joined together, forming a gourd shape.
The little Sun caught up with the big Sun, like a child taking its father's hand and then hiding behind its father, disappearing from sight.
This was a spectacular total solar eclipse, where the Sun blocked the Sun, something that would never be seen on Earth.
Su Huilan glanced at it a few times, and the sunlight made her eyes feel uncomfortable. Although the sun wasn't as scorching as the summer sun on Earth, looking directly at it was still unbearable for most people.
She closed her eyes, gently shook her head to let her eyes adjust, and stopped looking at the sky. She saw Situ walk slowly towards her, sit down on the grass, and place his scepter on his crossed legs.
"Your cat is quite nice. Where did it come from?" Situ had been looking at Hanran, seemingly very interested in it.
Su Huilan Hanran Hanran's back, and the fur that had just stood up slowly returned to its smooth state. Hanran lay down, glanced warily at Situ, meowed, and then curled up into a ball, hiding in Su Huilan's arms.
"This isn't my cat, it belongs to Qingmu," Su Huilan said.
"Oh?" Situ said in surprise, "Didn't he keep a Crow? I've never heard of him keeping a cat!"
Su Huilan said, "You seem to know him very well!"
Situ laughed and said, "He's too strong. If you don't understand someone like that at all, you'll inevitably have trouble sleeping and eating."
Su Huilan said, "You are very strong, but I don't know anything about you. Aren't you going to be worried sick?"
Situ laughed loudly and said, "What do you want to know about me?"
Su Huilan rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment before asking, "You said you participated in the design of the first cesium atomic clock, is that true?"
Situ said, "Of course it's true."
"But I remember the first cesium atomic clock was built in the 1950s or 1960s, which is fifty or sixty years ago. Even if you are a genius who completed such a top-notch scientific research project at the time when you were only twenty, you would be almost eighty years old now?"
"If I had to count, I am indeed very old, perhaps even older than you guess."
But you look very young.
Don't you know that a day in heaven is a year on earth?
"Are you trying to say you're a celestial being descended to earth?" Su Huilan chuckled.
Do you know why I got involved in the design and construction of the atomic clock?
"A scientist? Or... I'm guessing you were an engineer back then."
"No, I'm doing this so I can accurately simulate this clock in my mind," Situ said. "Time was just a concept in the past, but it only became a measure of the universe after the atomic clock was invented. When you leave your hometown and go to unknown and unfamiliar places, everything is new and unknowable. There may be no spring, summer, autumn, and winter, no twenty-four solar terms, no standard planetary orbital cycles, and you may not even see two sunrises and sunsets that are the same. How do you determine the time then?"
"Is it like there are two Sun above us right now?" Su Huilan looked up at the sky, where a small Sun was slowly peeking out from behind the big Sun.
"That's right. Binary star systems are the most common type of star system in the Milky Way, probably more numerous than single star systems like our Solar System."
"But shouldn't binary star systems not have planets? So where are we now?"
"That was a misconception from the past. Planets have now been discovered in many binary star systems, and quite a few of them are within the theoretically habitable zones. As for us now, who knows if we're even on a planet? Maybe we're just a meteorite."
"You mean you've been in this kind of extraterrestrial space for a long time, at a speed with obvious relativistic effects?" Su Huilan suddenly understood. "So, you won't age! Time is fundamentally uncertain for you. You use an atomic clock simulated in your consciousness to determine the corresponding time on Earth... Just like we've been in this strange place for a few days, but your conscious atomic clock tells us that a year has passed on Earth!"
Situ neither denied nor admitted it, but simply showed an appreciative expression and smiled, "You're very young too."
"Me?" Su Huilan knew she also looked young, just not as dramatically as Situ. She had always thought that her youthfulness was due to spiritual cultivation, like many yoga masters and meditators, where spiritual cultivation could repair many bodily functions. But that was all; it wasn't the same as the effects of relativity.
"I've never been to outer space before," she said.
"Isn't dreaming also part of outer space?"
"A dream?" Su Huilan was taken aback. "https://m. hetushu. com. com But everyone dreams!"
"But not everyone can awaken," Situ said.
"No, no, no, that's not the same. No matter how many dreams you have, you can't change the aging process of the physical body."
Su Huilan shook her head. She felt that this would lead Situ astray. She liked to control the pace and didn't like being controlled. But in front of a perfect man like Situ, any woman could easily be led astray.
She decided to regain control of the conversation, and since Situ had brought up awakening, she felt it was time to mention the Alliance. She composed herself and tentatively asked, "Do you know Master Nanke?"
Situ's face did not show the surprise she expected. He was very calm, as if the person Su Huilan mentioned was as ordinary as Zhang San or Li Si, or as well-known as the United States president or the United Nations secretary-general.
"Of course I know him," Situ said with a smile. "And I also know your father."
Su Huilan's heart skipped a beat. Situ certainly knew her father, but how did he know her identity?
"Mr. Situ, it seems like this is our first time meeting..." Su Huilan said, puzzled.
"This isn't the first time, is it? Your father copied me into your dreams; we must have met many times," Situ said.
