() Xiang Tianliang did not agree, and he left the two old men Guan Tianyue and Zhang Qiaoshan disappointed.

In fact, Xiang Tianliang had already prepared this, and he said it resolutely without any hesitation.

Of course, Xiang Tianliang was not really prepared for the negative impact of rejecting a wealthy family.

Words spoken are like water thrown out, which cannot be taken back.

Although I had no regrets, I still felt a little melancholy. I had dinner alone at the Provincial Party Committee Guest House. Xiang Tianliang was wondering where to spend the night when I received a call from the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Li Wenrui.

It turned out that Li Wenrui was also very concerned about this "meeting" between Xiang Tianliang and the two elderly people Guan Tianyue and Zhang Qiaoshan.

Li Wenrui is still in the office. He has always had the habit of returning to the office to work overtime after dinner, especially in the summer.

After listening to Xiang Tianliang's narration, Li Wenrui smiled slightly and said: "These two seniors are in their seventies or eighties, but they still have the same temper."

"Secretary, I dragged you in, and you won't scold me." Xiang Tianliang said with a chuckle.

"It's nothing." Li Wenrui stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back, "If you don't do anything secret next year, even if you deny it a thousand times, people will definitely think that someone instigated you."

This is true, Xiang Tianliang followed Li Wenrui, "Please help me make an idea."

"Yeah, let's talk while walking." Li Wenrui nodded.

Xiang Tianliang said, "Where are Secretary Mo and Chen Tielong."

"I sent them away before you came."

"I'm going to drive."

"What kind of car are you driving? Walk home with me."

Xiang Tianliang hesitated, "This... this is against security regulations."

"Haha... With a master like you as my bodyguard, what should I be afraid of?"

Xiang Tianliang accompanied Li Wenrui out of the provincial party committee compound and strolled on the streets at night.

"Xiao Xiang, what ideals did you have when you were a child?" Li Wenrui asked.

"Ideal." Xiang Tianliang was stunned for a moment. He was obviously talking about the matter at hand, so why did Li Wenrui bring up ideals.

Li Wenrui smiled and said: "Don't you have ideals?"

"Haha... What ideals can a child from a poor family have? Even if they do have some, they are ordinary and simple ideas that are hard to come by."

"Isn't it good to be ordinary and simple?" Li Wenrui said with great interest, "Tell me, what ordinary and simple ideals have you had?"

"Well... I liked to think wildly when I was a child, and I had a lot of thoughts. When I was five years old, I heard my father tell stories once, and I wanted to be a storyteller when I grew up. When I was six years old, I saw a pig being slaughtered at my uncle's house. I just wanted to be a butcher. Later, my third uncle started to accept apprentices. I became his first apprentice. I practiced martial arts under his guidance every day. I wanted to be a hero. Later, when I was about eight years old, I wanted to be a butcher. , the first time I saw a policeman with a gun, I made up my mind that I must be a policeman when I grow up."

Li Wenrui smiled and said, "Your ideal has already been realized."

"Secretary, you are laughing at me."

"Haha... I don't dare. Every ideal of every person is worthy of respect."

Xiang Tianliang asked: "Secretary, what were your ideals when you were a child?"

As Li Wenrui walked, he looked at the night sky and said, "My ideal has something to do with the sky."

"It has something to do with heaven."

"Yes, my father is a teacher and an astronomy enthusiast. Influenced by my father, I also like to look at the stars in the sky with a telescope at night. Therefore, my ideal is to be an astronomer when I grow up... and then I became a If you follow the revolutionary path and become a professional revolutionary, your childhood ideals will disappear.”

He said to Tianliang, "I also loved watching stars when I was a child, but I never thought about becoming an astronomer."

In front of it was a small square, where many citizens were sitting enjoying the cool weather. Li Wenrui also pulled Xiang Tianliang and sat on the ground with his legs crossed, looking up at the bright night sky.

"What a beautiful night sky." Li Wenrui sighed.

Xiang Tianliang pointed to the northwest sky and said, "Secretary, that's the Big Dipper."

Li Wenrui nodded and said: "Yes, at this time, the bright Big Dipper will always hang diagonally in the northwest of the sky. Ancient books say that when the handle of the Dipper points to the south, it will be summer all over the world. People in ancient times have noticed The direction of the handle of the bucket has a certain relationship with the season and is used to determine the season."

"Oh... I don't understand these principles. I only know that the seven stars are always very close to each other." Xiang Tianliang said.

"Xiao Xiang, look carefully... Extending along the handle of the Big Dipper, you can see a bright reddish star hanging high in the sky. It is the famous Arcturus. Arcturus and its nearby stars form the Shepherd Constellation, shaped like a parachute, Arcturus is not only outstanding in brightness, but also famous for its huge flying speed. Its flying speed reaches 16 kilometers per second, but because it is too far away from us, we generally cannot detect that it is moving. , to the south of Arcturus, there is another bright star called Spica. It and the nearby stars form the constellation Virgo. The stars in the constellation Virgo are arranged very irregularly. It is still difficult to describe its shape, and the Shepherd To the east of the constellation, there is a group of constellations arranged in a semicircle called Corona Borealis. In ancient China, they were imagined as pearls strung together with ropes, so they are also called Guan Suo. To the left of Corona Borealis is Hercules, which The shape is like a fluttering butterfly. The stars in the Hercules constellation are not very bright and not very noticeable. However, the globular star clusters inside are eye-catching. The clusters of stars that are physically connected to each other and gathered together are called Star cluster, the Hercules globular star cluster is a very famous one. As long as the weather is clear and there is no moonlight, it can be seen with the naked eye. It is like a fuzzy fog-like spot. In the telescope, it looks like a blooming chrysanthemum. It is very beauty."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Secretary, you know more than those professors and experts."

"Don't interrupt me, kid. Just listen to me... In the sky not too high from the ground in the south, there is a large constellation arranged like a giant scorpion. It is Scorpio. In our country, Scorpio is divided into houses and constellations. The bright red star in Scorpio is called Antares, also known as the Great Fire. Don’t underestimate this star. It once played a very important role in ancient human life. In ancient China, there was a special "Fire" star. Officials use observing the direction of fires to determine seasons and guide agricultural production. "Life without seeing each other is like participating in business." The business mentioned in the poem of Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, refers to Antares, and ginseng refers to Rigel. , in Orion, the participating merchants rise and fall one after another, and will never appear on the horizon at the same time. To the east of Scorpio is Sagittarius, where the famous South Dipper is located. Its shape is similar to the Big Dipper, with one south and one north. Facing each other from a distance."

Xiang Tianliang asked: "I heard there is a Cygnus, where is it?"

"If you follow the Milky Way upstream, you can see a large cross-shaped constellation, which is Cygnus. The shorter horizontal axis of the cross can be seen as the wings of the swan, and the long axis can be seen as the body of the swan. This

only huge sky

The goose stretched out its long neck, spread its wings, and flew peacefully over the water of the Milky Way. In our country, Cygnus is called Tianjin, which means Tianhe Ferry. The brightest star in Cygnus is called Deneb, and the bright star on the west side of the Milky Way is Vega.

and

The stars near it form the constellation Lyra. Opposite across the Milky Way is Altair, also called Hegu Er. Folks in our country call Altair and the two small stars near it the pole stars. They belong to the constellations Aquila, Deneb, Altair and Weaver.

Standing like a tripod in the sky, it is very eye-catching. According to Chinese myths and legends, every year on the seventh night of the seventh lunar month, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl want to cross the river. That night, magpies build a magpie bridge on the Tianhe River for them."

Xiang Tianliang sighed: "The mysteries of the universe are really endless."

"Yes, observations from astronomical telescopes tell us that the Tianhe River is neither a river in the sky nor a ferry on the river. The Milky Way is composed of countless extremely distant stars. In the universe, the distance between stars is very far.

The fastest speed is the speed of light, which reaches 300,000 kilometers per second. It takes about 27 years for the light on Vega to reach our eyes. It takes at least 27 years to send a wireless telegram between Vega and Altair.

In sixteen years of light, it is of course impossible for them to cross the river overnight. And the stars we see have different colors. In fact, the different colors represent the temperature differences of the stars.

For example, Antares has a surface temperature of only 3,000 degrees and emits red light. Arcturus has a surface temperature of about 4,000 degrees and its light is reddish and yellow. Vega's light is white and bluish, and its surface temperature is a little higher.

Ten thousand degrees, in recent years

The infrared stars discovered here have a surface temperature of less than 3,000 degrees and can only emit infrared rays that are invisible to the naked eye. Not only do these stars have vastly different physical states, but their sizes are also very different. Like Altair, its volume is about

The sun is seven or eight times bigger. If you know that the volume of the sun is actually 1.3 million times that of the earth, then you can imagine what a huge planet Altair must be. But compared to Antares, Altair is a small witch.

See the great witch, the volume of Antares is more than 30 million times larger than the volume of the sun. However, although the volume of Antares is large, its density is extremely small. Its density is only one percent of the density of water. It can be said to be a vacuum.

The world, and in recent years, hundreds of celestial objects called neutron stars have been discovered. Their diameter is only one to twenty kilometers, but their density is astonishingly high, trillions of times greater than the density of water... The existence and formation of matter in the universe

It’s really diverse.”

Having said this, Li Wenrui turned to look at Xiang Tianliang and asked: "Xiao Xiang, in your opinion, is the universe complicated, or is our society complicated?"

Xiang Tianliang thought to himself, after talking for a long time, he finally returned to the earth from the universe.

"Secretary, the universe exists objectively. In addition to the known parts, we only need to explore the unknown parts. However, human activities are constantly changing. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. So I think that human society is actually more important than the universe.

complex."
