In his previous life, Xia Xiao had never had the chance to touch an astronomical telescope, he had only seen it on TV. The size of a telescope was usually small, about one meter long, but the one he had brought was as tall as the roof, a huge and thick metal cylinder that was more than two meters long and nearly half a meter wide, like a cannon barrel that could shoot out a powerful laser beam.
"Is this to look at the moon or to shoot it down?"
Ah Zhu ran to it and touched it with her fingers. It felt a little cold, but otherwise it had no special features. But how could such a big metal thing be activated? It was too heavy to move. She looked at Xia Xiao, wanting him to demonstrate it, but it was his first time seeing it either. He walked to the gun rack, circled around it, and looked at it carefully, trying to figure out what it was.
The gun rack is triangular inside and outside, very stable, and there are two holes on the brackets on both sides of the cylinder. Xia Xiao roughly knows how to operate it, and he and Xia Xiao start to fix it. There are many connections between the bracket and the long cylinder. Although Xia Xiao can't see the inside, he can vaguely see the large and small pipes inside through the air outlet on the outer shell. It is these seemingly inconspicuous things that have become the astronomical telescopes that the Yun people are proud of.
"What is that?"
Xia Xiao searched for a long time but couldn't find the switch. Could it be that this thing didn't have a switch? He scratched his head. It wasn't a household appliance, so it shouldn't use electricity. In the Great Wilderness World, everything should use vitality.
Xia Xiao tried to put his arms into the two holes. Ah Zhu wanted to stop him but didn't dare. She just stood aside, made a guillotine-like movement with her hands, and then quickly closed her eyes. But she was overthinking, and an ordinary iron knife couldn't cut Xia Xiao's hands. When he slowly input pure energy, the whole cylinder began to tremble, and then began to move up and down and left and right as Xia Xiao wanted.
The barrel-like cylinder pointed in many directions, and the machine, which was clearly white in color, suddenly turned black. Ah Zhu was even more surprised, staring at it, not knowing how it had changed.
Xia Xiao reached his hands into the two holes and quickly found the operating console.
“Can you see in the distance?”
Ah Zhu asked impatiently, and Xia Xiao also anxiously leaned over. When the blurry vision gradually became clear, he had passed through the azure sky of the wilderness and headed for the world outside.
Xia Xiao didn’t know what the astronomical telescope in his previous life could see or what the scene was like, but in his mind now, it was an extremely macro and desirable world.
In the mysterious rhythm, countless meteorites were floating in space. There were also some worlds not far from the Great Wilderness, but the main color was not sea blue, but whether it was fiery red or khaki, there was life crawling in it. He turned around in surprise, looking for the moon, but the moon in the daytime was too dim, and Xia Xiao was not very proficient in it, so he couldn't adjust the clarity, so he played with Ah Zhu.
Seeing Xia Xiao looking up, Ah Zhu, who had been mumbling before, hurriedly asked:
"How about it?"
"The lens is crooked, go and push it down a little bit."
"Can you do it?"
"The amplitude is too large, and the moon is too far away from us. We have to adjust the equipment properly, otherwise it will be difficult to operate at night."
Ah Zhu didn't know what the relationship was between the two, and neither did Xia Xiao, but he watched the former step stupidly into the air and press the cylinder down. She didn't use much strength, so she couldn't press it, but she didn't dare to use force. This thing looked precious, and if it was broken, she couldn't afford to pay for it even if she sold it, and Ah Zhu didn't want to owe others anything.
I put my two little hands together and pressed it again, but it still didn't move.
"Push harder."
"No, what if it breaks?"
"It's okay. I'm watching here."
"Oh well."
Ah Zhu held his breath, and his face turned red as he exerted all his strength. Xia Xiao controlled the cylinder to move downwards suddenly, and this movement frightened Ah Zhu, who was immediately stunned and at a loss. Xia Xiao tried his best to cooperate with the performance, and came over with a look of astonishment on his face, unable to speak, as if he didn't know how to explain to Jian Qiu. He and Ah Zhu stared at each other, and the latter's anxiety made him secretly happy.
"what to do?"
Xia Xiao first asked Ah Zhu, making him look pale with anxiety, but then he turned around and said:
"Just to scare you."
“So bad!”
Ah Zhu clenched her fist and went straight to hit him. This time she was really angry. She didn't vent her anger after hitting him twice, and finally ran into the room angrily. Xia Xiao followed behind with a smile, and swung his arm, and immediately used his energy to protect it. This thing can't be damaged. When it's late at night, it will really come in handy.
"Azhu, don't be angry, have some fun."
"Get lost!"
"hug."
"No hug!"
Ah Zhu got angry and started beating and scolding her. Xia Xiao poured a cup of tea beside her, listened to her talk, and watched her dancing and gesticulating, looking very happy as she wanted to beat him but couldn't. Ah Zhu got annoyed when she saw Xia Xiao laughing, so she pulled the quilt to cover herself, not wanting to talk to him.
After a while, Ah Zhu fell asleep in the quilt. She had been waiting for Xia Xiao to coax her, but when Xia Xiao reached out to touch her, she was like a startled kitten, struggling with her paws and pushing Xia Xiao away. But after a while, he crawled over again like a clingy stink bug, but was kicked away again.
After repeating this many times, Ah Zhu was tired and had no energy, so he let Xia Xiao hold him and took a sweet nap. They didn't have this habit when they were in the wilderness, but as soon as the situation stabilized, they began to enjoy the quiet time in the afternoon again.
Ah Zhu was sleeping very soundly. Xia Xiao pinched her face and nose with his hands, but she didn't respond at all. She only said softly for a long time, then turned over. Xia Xiao smiled and hugged her gently, closing his eyes to take a nap. With the iron thing outside, it was better than the naked eye, but he didn't know if it would yield any results.
As the night deepened, Xia Xiao, who was well prepared, stood in the yard accompanied by Ah Zhu, ready to start tonight's observation. The biggest advantage of observing the moon in Yun Country is that you can get close to it, and there will never be heavy clouds blocking your view. Xia Xiao looked at the waning moon that was still not round enough and began to adjust the machine.
If Xia Xiao had such talent in his previous life, he would not be so poor. These machines are not complicated to operate. As long as the mental strength is strong enough and the vital energy is fully implemented, one can move them as he pleases.
The instrument was like a cannon, pointing at the moon in the dead of night. Xia Xiao continued to use his energy to keep the machine going, and at the same time leaned over to see if the moon was clear. The moon in the sky was very beautiful, guarding the wilderness in the dark night since ancient times, but whether there was a devil's face on it, one still needed to look patiently. It was normal not to find it tonight, but the premise was that one had to really try hard to find it before one could sleep peacefully.
When I first watched it, it was worth savoring it. Seeing the moon in the Cloud Kingdom was completely different from seeing it on the ground. Not only was it much bigger, but it also seemed to be right above my head. Coupled with the rhythm of the numerous stars, I couldn't help but raise my head and reach out, wanting to sink into the Milky Way instead of suffering in the human world.
But gradually, a layer of moonlight seemed to block the moon, like a long skirt, blocking Xia Xiao from seeing the beautiful body. Ah Zhu also came to see, and soon had the same feeling, like looking at a word for too long, it seems strange no matter how you look at it. But their mission in Yun Country was to look at the moon, even if it was wrong, they had to keep looking with their eyes wide open!
Xia Xiao observed for a long time, and when his arms were sore, he pulled it out of the hole when the machine was full of vitality. If you look at it with the naked eye, the moon is hazy, as if someone has done it deliberately, but with the astronomical telescope made by the Yun people, it can be more delicate, as if it has flown to a higher place and raised its head.
"Is it useful to keep watching like this?"
"It's no use."
Xia Xiao answered directly and said:
"But only by finding an opportunity can the mark left by the ancestor of the spiritual contract be activated. Only then can we be sure whether she is on it."
"She could have kept hiding."
"If she still had that much power, Que Dan wouldn't have sent us up here. He also discovered the Human Emperor, but wanted us to see it for ourselves. He couldn't get out, and the Human Emperor couldn't leave the moon, so the situation became a stalemate."
"What if she's not up there?"
Ah Zhu didn't actually have any unique opinions, he just wanted to ask suddenly, but Xia Xiao smiled and said:
"Don't worry about it. We must first have our own position."
Xia Xiao already had the answer in his mind, but he needed proof, so he kept observing, using the telescope to its fullest. With the dim moonlight, he carefully looked at every part of the moon. Although he couldn't see clearly, his strong mental power made him motionless, hoping to cause some movement in the mark of the ancestor of the spiritual contract by staring at it.
As long as the ancestor of the spiritual contract is on it, Xia Xiao’s mark will definitely not be silent!
These judgments were all imagined by Xia Xiao, but the truth was not much different, so he kept waiting, but soon realized an important problem.
"Azhu, we can only see the front of the moon, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"The moon rotates like the wilderness, but at the same speed."
"Can't understand."
"Ball over!"
Xia Xiao slapped his thigh. He was so busy before, looking along the edge of the moon repeatedly, didn't it mean that he was looking at the same place all the time? The calculation of years and months in the Great Wilderness and on Earth is the same, which means that the rotation and revolution are also the same, so the moon must be similar. In this case, the moon seen here is always only one side.
After sighing a few times, Xia Xiao continued to search. He would search for a small part today, finish this side tomorrow night, and then spend two days to check again. If she is not on this side, the ancestor of the spiritual contract is on the back of the moon, otherwise it would not only be Que Dan who found her, but also the master and others. But since she wants to observe the Great Wilderness, she should be on this side. Xia Xiao ruled out the possibility that she could run around. Since she was imprisoned, it must not be so easy, otherwise she would have run back long ago.
Xia Xiao continued to search, speeding up his pace, busy and having a great time, his eyes never left the astronomical telescope. Ah Zhu stood aside, not knowing what to do, so he could only serve tea and water, and wash some fruits. But Xia Xiao had no time to drink water now, he was so excited as if he had been promoted, full of energy, busy dancing, and talking nonsense all the time.
"I hope I remember correctly. That's what the popular science tips said before. Looking for it this way is much better than searching aimlessly. Human Emperor, Human Emperor, if you are really on it and the mark still reacts, then you are really a sinner."
"What are you mumbling about?"
Xia Xiao straightened up and looked at Azhu while twisting his body, his face full of excitement.
"You don't understand. We will soon be able to escape the fate of being led by the nose by others."
"Can you do it?"
"Believe me."
Ah Zhu certainly believed in Xia Xiao, otherwise she would not have followed him out regardless of the consequences. Xia Xiao was also desperately looking for the answer, and at this time waved his hand, asking Ah Zhu to go back to the room to sleep. She couldn't help, so she went back, but when she opened the window, she could see Xia Xiao busy outside. He was very focused, observing for a long time with great concentration, but occasionally he would turn his head to look at Ah Zhu sleeping soundly under the candlelight.
Although it was tiring to keep releasing vital energy and concentrating it on the eyes, coupled with the massive release of mental power and the attempt to dispel the moonlight, Xia Xiao's eyes turned bloodshot, but he did not stop and repeated this simple thing over and over again.
This kind of thing is the most challenging to one's temperament. Xia Xiao has many shortcomings, but what he has is patience. In his opinion, cultivating patience is a very easy thing, not as difficult as others say. Just set countless small goals and achieve them one by one. This process is repeated, and finding happiness and satisfaction in the simplest things is Xia Xiao's strength, and it is also the reason why he squandered his mental strength and vitality but persisted until the moon set.
The moon will also set, just like the sun, but no matter whether it rises or sets, it is not as majestic as the sun. All people pay attention to is the changes of the sun. Because Xia Xiao had been looking along the edge of the moon, she wasted a lot of time. At the end of the night, the search area was not very large, but she was getting more and more excited. When she saw Ah Zhu running over, she hugged her and said:
"I feel like we'll find her soon. She can't hide anymore!"
The affirmation in Xia Xiao's tone made Ah Zhu happy, but the first thing he did was to pull him into the room.
"Let's talk about it after you get up. I'll save breakfast for you."
"I can't sleep yet, help me prepare the four treasures of the study."
"good!"
Ah Zhu put Xia Xiao down and went to prepare, her movements were extremely fast, what he was doing was not just ordinary moon watching, his mental strength needed to be replenished first, and his vitality could be replenished later. But when she prepared the paper and inkstone, and brought a small low table, Xia Xiao had already fallen asleep on the bed, snoring loudly, and lying in an indecent posture.
"Don't you need to remember something? You tell me to remember!"
Ah Zhu shook Xia Xiao's shoulders, trying to wake him up. He wanted these things because he was in a hurry. If he didn't wake him up now, he wouldn't be able to remember them after waking up, and all his efforts would be wasted. However, Xia Xiao couldn't be woken up, and Ah Zhu had no choice but to help him take off his clothes and let him sleep.
During this process, Xia Xiao woke up. He squinted his eyes, his mind was spinning, but he still said:
"Three out of ten."
"What the hell?"
Ah Zhu didn't hear clearly, but Xia Xiao fell asleep and couldn't be woken up or pulled up. She was so anxious that she turned around and stayed in front of the paper for a long time, but she just forgot what Xia Xiao said. She cursed herself for being stupid and wrote "silly" on the paper. Then she suddenly had an idea and remembered what Xia Xiao said, so she wrote another thirteen on the paper.
Being with Xia Xiao, Azhu learned another complex number, which led to this funny scene.
