The Tide Flat landed on the planet of the Materialistic Reading Club.

Xi Yujin and Ganuo walked out of the spaceship, their aura was so powerful that no creature dared to look directly at them.

"I am Yu Jin, the diplomatic representative of Blue Star, and the full-power agent of Blue Star Novelists. Due to force majeure, I am here on behalf of Yongye to conduct this academic discussion." Xi Yu Jin said bluntly, "This is my friend Ganuo."

Gano's armor revealed mysterious scarlet patterns, and he floated behind him like a sculpture of a knight waiting for a command.

"Yes, yes... Mr. Yongye has already told me about this situation." The pink starfish said. It had no doubt that Yu Jin and Mr. Yongye knew each other. Looking at the elegance of their salutes, they were exactly the same, as if they were taught in the same school.

The reading club has already given Yongye a lot of green lights, so it doesn't matter if someone else does the defense.

They walked over to the huge clock, the hour hand under the glass was ticking forward, and the dense prisms on the wall gathered beams of light, covering the embers with a layer of soft light. The other creatures were stunned.

Xi Yujin appeared calm on the surface, but he actually thought that being a seafood fan in the interstellar age was not something to be happy about.

He sat on the middle chair and took out a digital watch, which showed the countdown: 11:23:23.

"My time is precious." Xi Yujin said calmly, "I hope it can be finished before my ban."

The members of the reading club were horrified when they heard this. Now they looked at Yu Jin, no longer seeing him as a good-looking creature, but as a legendary monster writer.

A few universe hours ago, Yu Jin published "Flying Over the Pyramid". As the rival of Feiya Novel Network, they read it quickly, and the reading process was interrupted several times because of headaches. Although the article tries to use popular language to clarify the relationship between the world, there are still many things to think about.

All the members of the reading club wanted to write a review of Yu Jin, but found that they had no idea where to start. No matter which angle they interpreted it from, they felt it was biased. Every word seemed to help them understand the world, and the sudden enlightenment made them feel refreshed, and their souls shed the heavy dirt and regained new life.

Moreover, they vaguely felt that this article seemed to give them great inspiration and find a new direction for thinking for the Materialistic Reading Club.

A huge 180° light curtain unfolded, and the information from the Materialistic Reading Club headquarters traveled tens of millions of light years directly to the front of the embers.

The main prize of the "Materialism" essay contest is the friendship of the entire Materialistic Reading Club.

The Materialistic Reading Club needs to make sure that they have made a good friend.

In this universe, the understanding of the world is divided into two categories: idealism and materialism. This division is different from that on Earth. No philosopher on Earth would agree that consciousness came before matter. Idealism on Earth is more complex and profound. The opposition between matter and consciousness is absolute only within a limited scope. However, in this universe, it is a common concept that consciousness came first, and consciousness dominates the world.

The universe is too vast. Some creatures have extremely sharp visual cells and see the universe as a colorful picture; some creatures have not evolved eyes and their bodies are as small as a human thumb. The worlds "perceived" by these two creatures are completely different. They have spent their entire lives on interstellar travel, but can only explore a little bit of the universe. How can we convince them that they perceive the same universe?

So Xi Yujin thought it was quite interesting to come here to get the prize before a bigger storm arose in this galaxy.

The questions and answers at the beginning were very simple. For example, how to prove that the Flash Empire has history, how to refute the debate topic "the blue planet is not a planet". During the question and answer session, Xi Yujin seemed to have returned to the time of the exam. This nervous feeling made him feel nostalgic, so he smiled.

The surveillance camera on the light screen inexplicably turned in a different direction, and changed the way of asking the last question, as if there was a living creature spying on them from behind.

"Blue Star? Very interesting... What is the philosophy of your species?"

"We on Blue Star have many philosophies, but the one I like most is the philosophy of drowning people," Xi Yujin said, "When a person is about to drown, what does he care about most?

Some people care about the concept of water, some people care about the density and quality of water, but is it good for the drowning person? No. He only thinks about how to be rescued, so he swims upwards and successfully breathes air. We call this behavior of beating the water with the body "practice". Practice is the bridge connecting people and the world. Our philosophy is a philosophy that takes people as the subject. "

"People are the main subject..."

The so-called subtle words have profound meanings. Some words that seemed easy to understand to Xi Yujin sounded alarm bells in the minds of the reading club members. Some members of the reading club began to think. Some members connected this sentence with "Flying Over the Pyramid" and were so lost in thought that it seemed as if an invisible key was about to be aligned with the keyhole. And this answer also flew to the headquarters thousands of light years away, arousing the interest of some creatures.

"By the way, this is the final manuscript of "Mr. Zhong's Detective Case Collection." Xi Yujin handed in the final manuscript. Now Yongye has completed the work, which is cause for celebration.

He blinked and said, "Just be sure to read it after I leave."

The pink starfish nodded solemnly, and held the manuscript with its two tentacles like a treasure. It looked eager and said, "Excuse me, can I shake your hand?"

Xi Yujin stretched out his hand, and the pink starfish's tentacles wrapped around his wrist and swayed up and down.

Gano floated a little closer, and the length of his light wings obviously increased by several dozen centimeters.

Xi Yujin moved all the prizes back to the Chaoping, including a nameplate with the words "Proof of Materialistic Friendship" and several large boxes the size of wardrobes. Xi Yujin wanted to wait until it was safe before unpacking them, so he only put the boxes in the living room. The pink starfish and many seafood said goodbye reluctantly.

And because of Mr. Ember's "revelation", they feel that their own materialism has new room for development. This time, perhaps it can be combined with the new doubts of the Pangshi Galaxy to burst out with stronger power!

Their materialistic conquest of the Pangshi galaxy is just around the corner!

For a while, the reading club was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The creatures watched the Tide Flat disappear into the sky as a black dot, and gathered around the pink starfish again, eager to read the next chapter of Mr. Zhong's Detective Cases. They couldn't read the specific content in advance, so it didn't matter if they read the title. The pink starfish strictly followed Ember's request, and only gave them the title to read after confirming that the Tide Flat had left their planet.

The creatures came closer.

"The next case is 'The Most Unlikely Murderer'. It sounds very interesting!"

"The next case is 'Mr. Shi's Mystery Murder Case'. Are Mr. Zhong and Mr. Shi finally going to face off? So exciting!"

"The next case after that is... the last case so soon? Oh, wait, that's the name?"

The joyful atmosphere of the reading club suddenly froze.

After a long time, there was a startling scream:

"Why is the name of the last case "The Death of Mr. Zhong"?!"

…

"We on Blue Planet guarantee that we will not interfere in the internal affairs of all forces and will respect the wishes of alien creatures..." Xi Yujin was writing the outline of Blue Planet's diplomacy in front of his computer.

If the three courts only set traps for the Flying Duck Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't it be partiality? Of course, he wanted to be a fair and just novelist and also give the reading club a deep memory. As for the Flash Empire, he liked that theme park very much, so he should just hand in the manuscript...

He also knew that it was a bit unfair, otherwise he wouldn't have been so anxious to escape.

It’s definitely not because of guilty conscience!

Next stop, the prizes from the Glittering Empire, this time you really can take them and run.

When passing by the Star Garden of the reading club, something unexpected happened. Xi Yujin's mental power erupted again, and a red gravel flew from a distance and smashed the window glass that had just been replaced.

This piece of red gravel naturally became Xi Yujin's typing machine No. 3.

Xi Yujin looked at the typing machines, then at the window with a big hole in it, and sighed, "Fortunately, we have a lot of replacement glass."

He disassembled a replacement glass and planned to replace it himself. However, when passing the Star Court of the Flashing Empire, another small fragment flew from the star, dragging a very long blue tail flame.

Coder No. 4 blended smoothly into Xi Yujin's gravitational field, and the four coders revolved around him in different orbits.

Xi Yujin, who had just replaced the glass: ...

Hearing the alarm, Ganuo came over from the cab and looked at the broken glass all over the floor, as well as the remnants of two asteroids. He was stunned.

Are you blue star people capturing asteroids so fast? Two more in the blink of an eye!

Gano saw that the core of his armor had run away from Emberno again. He seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, his eyes wandering.

Xi Yujin had an idea and took the core of Ganuo's armor to the nearest place. This time, he would not bother Ganuo to change it secretly. He arranged the code machines one, two, three, and four according to the order of capture, and then said to Ganuo: "We need to change another glass."

Ganuo nodded in a daze.

The Tide Level was parked steadily in the space orbit of the Glittering Empire planet.

Xi Yujin appeared again as "Yujin", but this time he was wearing a thick cloak. He did not forget that the Glittering Empire had been looking for a diamond cub, and he did not want to be misunderstood.

In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the Flashing Clan, the atmosphere of the planets of the Flashing Empire was burned with a hole, which looked like latte art on a coffee cup from space. On the ground, there was no light all day long, the temperature was extremely low, and the ocean was simply a mixture of ice and water. Only the Flashing Clan was a rare god of light. Xi Yujin would not be too conspicuous even if he wore a thick cloak. Gano was carrying his armor and moving forward.

"Welcome, Blue Star diplomat."

As the award presenter, Da Zi was very generous and not only allowed Xi Yujin to accept the award on his behalf, but also allowed Jia Nuo to accompany him. It gave the Chao Ping a mysterious large package, and then fulfilled its promise to take Xi Yujin and Jia Nuo to visit the underground palace of the Flashing Clan.

They were going in through the ocean.

According to the science of the Upper Flash Tribe, the planet is divided into four layers. The part from the ocean to the sky is the smoke layer, because there are many floating tiny particles that make them very uncomfortable. The place where they live is called the rock layer, below is the thermosphere, and the core is the electric layer.

In order to prevent microorganisms from contaminating the underground palace, Xi Yujin and Ganuo had to undergo a disinfection procedure, and then take an elevator down from a large chimney in the ocean to the center of the earth.

The elevator was very spacious, and Da Zi had more than enough space to get in. Da Zi took the opportunity to introduce the science of the Flash Tribe to them. The big chimney was emitting black smoke, which was the waste of their thermosphere technology. And the waste was in the relatively hot part of the ocean, so there was a richer marine ecology near the chimney. Beautiful deep-sea coral reefs grew in clusters.

The sea water disappeared above my head, and the only remaining light was emitted by the Flash Tribe beside me. I went down from the smoke layer to the rock layer. The four walls here have extremely magnificent mineral textures. Da Zi introduced that this is the mineral art of their Flash Tribe. Look at this sea wave-shaped texture and this well-shaped texture. Isn’t it very beautiful?

Xi Yujin nodded, secretly thinking that art was indeed something that made people confused.

There are some strange holes in the rock formation. Da Zi said that nuclear waste was once hidden inside, and no one knew who left it. This is one of the ten unsolved mysteries of their Flashing Clan. Later, these nuclear wastes were used as shipbuilding materials by their own clan.

Xi Yujin nodded, thinking that there was once a civilization that didn't know how to deal with nuclear waste, so it buried it underground, waiting for future humans to use it.

Well, it’s scary to think about it…

The rock formations are also a place of entertainment for the Flash Tribe, with huge holes used for underground concerts, readings, etc.

"We, the Flash Tribe, have difficulty moving. In the beginning, our world was only the size of a mine tunnel, and it was simply a pipe dream to have such a spacious and stable space." Da Zi said, "So the real magnificence of our underground palace lies in our continuous conquest of suffering and breaking this impossibility."

The Flash Tribe used the "Underground World" essay contest to sneer at novelists, which is a manifestation of their absolute pride in their own strength. Most creatures can explore space, but only the Flash Tribe can explore and conquer the underground.

Xi Yujin seemed to be thinking about something.

Below the rock layer is the thermal layer.

The further down you go, the greater the pressure and the higher the temperature. The gaps between substances are infinitely compressed, leaving only a flowing metal. There is a strange silence here, and you can seem to hear the roar of machines. Because the Flash Clan has made liquid metal into its own supercomputer. The ripples of liquid metal are the logical judgment of the computer. Ordinary steel machinery will be plasticized here. If it weren't for the thick cabin blocking it, Xi Yujin suspected that he would sublime.

Da Zi pointed cheerfully at the surging liquid metal outside the elevator cabin, saying that they often come here to meditate. When their ancestors explored the thermosphere, they invented the "ship", which other races would consider a submarine. Xi Yujin looked outside the cabin and inexplicably felt a sense of peace in his heart.

On the next level down, the armor of King Ers on Ganuo's body sounded an alarm.

"It's a peace ban," said Garno. "According to the Universal Peace Treaty, the Zerg can no longer go to the core area of ​​civilization of any intelligent race."

He stopped at an enclosed platform, held the great sword in front of him, and said, "I will wait here for the call of the Embernor."

Xi Yujin tried it and found that the Flashing Tribe was very accommodating, but it was Ganuo himself who refused to move forward. Xi Yujin had no choice but to ask Ganuo to wait for him to come out. He would remember the wonders of the core underground palace and share them with Ganuo.

"Zerg." A Flash tribe member nearby saw their first parting scene and couldn't help but mutter, "I haven't seen Zerg for a long time. The Flash tribe members who experienced that war have already built ships and left. I almost forgot that memory... Who is he to you, Mr. Ember?"

Xi Yujin sprayed another layer of disinfectant spray on himself and said, "He is my friend."

The Flashes knew that "friends" had different meanings on Blue Star, and nodded, saying, "Then it's a pity to let you be cruelly separated... Hey, don't worry, you will be reunited after the tour!" As the elevator went down, the Flashes waved to Gano above, and Xi Yujin also waved goodbye.

Under his armor, Gano held his breath in shock.

It was not until the rock in front of him swallowed up the elevator and the place returned to silence that the knight in armor suddenly tilted his head, as if he was hit by an unbelievable fact.

"My brain is a bit overloaded..." Ganuo wanted to fly two circles in space, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.

The elevator went down and arrived at the electrical layer of the Glittering Underground Palace.

Xi Yujin was completely floating. When the elevator door opened, he could actually see strips of light at the bottomless depth of 86,000 meters. Electricity surged silently, and the tiny crystals were tightly combined by magnetism, forming a mirror-like river surface. They spiraled and emitted a faint light, becoming the pillars of the entire underground palace.

"That temperature is extremely high and will burn us through. Please don't touch it," Da Zi kindly reminded.

And within several spiral rivers, a small mineral sphere is suspended in the center, like a baby planet.

"This is our monument." Da Zi said, "The absolute center of our underground palace."

Xi Yujin: "Why do you want to set up a monument here?"

"We, the Flash Tribe, were born underground, but not in the center of the earth. We were first born ten thousand meters deep in the rock layer. Mythology says that our ancestors were mud monsters that became hard after being hammered by the stars. Actual research shows that our ancestors were parasitic mineral shrimps, a kind of creature that parasitizes on ore and eventually merged with the ore to become living ore."

Da Zi told the story slowly and leisurely.

"Our ancestors were not very dense at first. In the dark underground, there were only two directions: denser than us, and less dense than us. No matter which direction we went, it would be painful for us. If we went in the direction of less density, the loose substances would seep into our bodies. If we went in the direction of greater density, the high pressure would distort and crush our bodies.

But our ancestors evolved density balance technology, that is, filling the high-density material in the direction of low density, so that our range of activities is getting larger and larger. From a macro perspective, we are constantly digging the soil under our feet and filling it above our heads. So we are always moving towards the center of the earth.

We dug through the rock layer and came to the thermosphere, and technology developed for the second time. We learned to use the flowing metal to transmit signals, we had the metal Internet, and found more of our kind. Geothermal technology helped us break through the thermosphere. At the same time, heat also shaped our bodies into a harder body.

When we arrived at the electric layer, we were scared away by its terrible high temperature and magnetism. But how could we stop our exploration? So we went through a long time. We, the Flash tribe, had difficulty moving and a long lifespan, but in reality, our range of activities was limited. Our world was a series of mine tunnels... Finally, we learned to control electricity and magnetism with our own hands. This time, we finally arrived at the electric layer.

But what is beyond the electrosphere? The scientifically minded Flash tribe kept exploring and dug out mines. However, we were disappointed to find that beyond the electrosphere is another thermosphere. Is this world just an endless accumulation of rock thermoelectrics?

After discussion, we finally decided to balance the density of the electric layer into a space suitable for us! As mentioned earlier, it is difficult for us to move, so you can imagine how difficult it is for us to create a larger space. But in order to find the truth of the world, we still decided to do this.

After a long time, the first electrosphere underground palace was built. It turned out to be an irregular ellipsoid! We finally deduced the correct planetary model. The electrosphere is the core, not our sky! The real sky is under our feet.

We are going back to the surface..."

"But if we want to go to the real ground, it means we have to balance the density over a larger area. Because our experts speculate that the legendary rock layer has at least 100,000 meters of low-density space! Even if we hollow out the entire thermal layer, it will be difficult to balance the density...

Our ancestors made an important decision and implemented two plans at the same time. One was a long-term density balance plan, which was to fill the ground little by little to create a passage that even the weak Flash tribe could walk on. The other was an unbalanced exploration plan, in which our ancestors selected a few warriors, put on the simplest pressurized suits, and went to explore the smoke layer...

The pressurized suits could only sustain our ancestors through the asthenosphere, and they desperately discovered that beyond a certain interface, there was even less dense matter. They could never fill up the outer space...

But one explorer broke through the earth's crust and rushed out along the ocean current, and the pressure suit was instantly ineffective.

When it woke up, it found itself in the shallows. A long time had passed. The ore on its body had exploded into several holes due to the pressure change. Moss and corals grew in the holes. Many transparent small fish shuttled among the corals, and larger thorny fish chased the small fish. The ocean was cold and dangerous at that time, and the stars were far away from us. The light and heat from the explorer actually nurtured a small ecosystem.

And when it sat up, the planet had light for the first time."

The light on Da Zi's body shone, reflecting the surrounding mirror river. No wonder the Flash Empire was so arrogant. When a creature became the sun in the eyes of other creatures, it was impossible for it not to be arrogant.

"The explorer returned after a lot of hardships. The remaining body was almost corroded by the high concentration of ocean, but it showed a happy look. When it turned into rock, it was still talking about that feeling.

'I am drifting on the sea, carrying many miniature creatures, breaking through the frozen ocean with my hard body. They are alive, and I am alive too. We are life, and life is a miracle. I am a big ship full of miracles.

The instinct of a ship is to keep sailing...'

We are very forgetful, and once we turn into rocks, it is difficult to find records. But later, after a long evolution, we finally stood on the ground, broke through the atmosphere, and saw space for the first time. We have not forgotten this sentence. The instinct of a ship is to keep sailing.

So we will build a monument in the center of the underground palace, which is a memorial to the explorers and also the starting port for our return to the sky. "

"But..." Da Zi said, "Those were all things from the isolated planetary period. Maybe I remembered a lot wrong during the interstellar period, but I don't want my fellow tribesmen to remember them wrongly. I want to build a new underground palace to record our history accurately."

Xi Yujin seemed to be looking at a long historical scroll. The underground palace did not have much practical significance and could not protect the Flash Tribe from wind and rain, but the Flash Tribe found the meaning of life from meaningless actions. They waited for a long time on the planet, and then built a real big ship for themselves.

"Interstellar travel..."

Xi Yujin expressed a vague vision: "I now feel that I have not explored enough. I want to go deeper into the universe and use the eyes of Earth to see the possibilities of another universe."

He really wanted to go exploring with Ganuo right now.

However, there is one last thing left to be concluded.

After admiring the suspended core for a while, he handed a surveillance backup to Da Zi, saying that this was evidence that the ginseng spirits had illegally assassinated the AI, and attached a high-definition, unedited photo of the ginseng spirits. There were no exact laws in the Pangshi galaxy, and the Flash Clan generally made arbitrary decisions.

"This species has been banned by our Blue Planet," he said, "but it looks very much like the Hundred-Year-Old Radish Jade in the Canghai Book. I think it has great ornamental value."

Da Zi understood and said, "My people will probably be very happy that the theme park has creatures from the book, and my people's hobbies are hard to change..." Judging from its appearance, the ginseng spirit will probably spend a long time reflecting on itself while playing the role of a staff member in the theme park.

Suddenly, a strange earth-core wind blew and blew off Xi Yujin's cloak.

The entire huge underground palace suddenly had a small amount of silver light. This little light was so tiny compared to the red, blue, yellow, green and purple on the giant, but it was so important that it could not be ignored. All the Flashing Tribes were just immersed in the story of Da Zi, but now they were so shocked that they could not speak.

Xi Yujin raised his head stiffly, as if he could hear the inner thoughts of these giants:

“It’s been a while since a new generation of the Flash Clan found Diamond Cub, and when they saw him, the entire empire exploded!

The leader gave the order, "Pamper! Pamper me as much as you can in the entire empire!"

First of all, he is not a real mineral spirit, he is a diamond spirit transformed from a star, and his soul is that of a human being.

Secondly, how do you pet this group of flash people?

Placed in the geothermal fluid to warm for 10,000 years!

The universe is full of dangers...

Xi Yujin pretended to be calm and grabbed the code machine No. 1 beside him, saying, "Gano, help."

The author has something to say:
