When I traveled through time and became a chief, I ruined the system.

"You are right." Prince Tianyi nodded solemnly to Shakespeare, then approached him and said, "You know, in the two thousand and eighteen years since you left, civilization has restarted four times. It grew up with difficulty in the irregular alternation of the Constant Era. The shortest one only completed half of the Stone Age, but Civilization 1004 set a record and actually reached the steam age!"

"So, someone in that civilization discovered the laws of the sun's movement?"

Prince Tianyi laughed and shook his head: "No, no, it's just a fluke."

"How do you know this? Are you still alive like the Lord of Light?"

"I am my father's only child, and I am born a nobleman! When I was born, nine giant dragons appeared in the sky, spitting out water columns, and bathed me in everything!"

"Yes, yes, I remember!" Shakespeare shook his big head and said, "Dehydration for too long still has sequelae! I remember, when you said, 'I am the only one in the world,' the earth shook. Two springs naturally gush out, one cold and one warm, fragrant and pure. Nine giant dragons also appear in the sky, spitting out water columns to bathe and purify you.

The birth of Prince Tianyi shocked the entire desert. For a time, everyone rushed to the city of heaven to worship and recognize Luo Xiaofei as their master. "

"Of course, come, let me show you the efforts of civilization last time." Prince Tianyi led Shakespeare to the corner of the observatory. The earth stretched out under them, like a piece of old leather. He pointed a small telescope at a target on the ground below and asked Shakespeare to look at it.

Shakespeare put his eyes to the eyepiece and saw a strange thing. It was a skeleton, which was snow-white in the morning light and looked very delicate in structure. The most surprising thing is that the skeleton is standing with a very elegant and noble posture. One hand is raised to the chin, seeming to be stroking the beard that no longer exists. Its head is slightly raised, as if it is asking questions to the heaven and earth.

"That's the King of Ceremony invited by my father." Prince Tianyi pointed in that direction and said, "He believed that everything must be in compliance with etiquette, and everything in the universe is no exception. So he created a cosmic etiquette system and tried to follow it. Predicting the movement of the sun.”

"The results can be imagined."

"Yes, he calculated when the sun should follow the rules and predicted a five-year eternity. Don't tell me, that time really lasted for a month."

"Then one day the sun never came out again?"

"No, the sun came out that day and reached the sky, but suddenly it went out."

"What? Extinguish?!"

"Yes, it started to dim slowly and dimly, and then suddenly went out! As night fell, it was so cold. King Li stood there and froze into an icicle, and he has been standing there until now."

"Is there nothing left? I mean the sun after it goes out?"

"At that location, a flying star appeared, like the soul of the sun after its death."

"Oh, are you sure the sun suddenly went out and the flying stars suddenly appeared?"

"Yes, it suddenly went out and the flying star appeared. You can check the log database. This record is correct."

"Oh——" Shakespeare pondered for a long time. Originally, he already had a vague theory in his mind about the mystery of the Three Yang World, but what Prince Tianyi said overturned everything he thought, "How could it be possible?" Was it...sudden?" he said angrily.

"This is the age of steam, the highest civilization known to date."

"Have you still lived until now?" Shakespeare couldn't help but ask.

"I have a mission to accurately observe the movement of the sun. Those wizards, metaphysicians, and Taoists are all useless. They are not diligent, indifferent, and have extremely poor hands-on ability. They are just immersed in their own fantasy. . But I am different, I can make practical things!" He pointed to the many instruments on the platform and said.

"Can you achieve your goal with these?" Shakespeare pointed to the instrument, especially the mysterious big copper ball.

"I also have theories, but they are not metaphysics. They are summarized through a large number of observations. First of all, do you know what the universe is? It is a machine."

"That's like saying nothing."

"To be more specific, the universe is a large hollow ball suspended in a sea of ​​fire. There are many small holes and one big hole on the ball. The light of the sea of ​​fire shines through these holes. The small holes are stars and the big hole is the sun."

"A very interesting model," said Shakespeare, looking at the big copper ball, and now he could probably guess what it was, "but there is a big flaw in it: when the sun rises and sets, we see it differ from the stars. It is in relative motion, and the relative positions of all the holes on the big ball shell should be fixed."

"That's right, so I introduced a revised model. The sphere of the universe is composed of two spherical shells. The sky we see is the inner shell. There is a big hole in the outer spherical shell, and there is a hole in the inner spherical shell. There are a large number of small holes. The light from the big hole in the shell is reflected and scattered in the interlayer between the two spherical shells, filling the interlayer with bright light. When this bright light penetrates through the small holes, we can see the stars."

"What about the sun?"

"The sun is a huge spot of light projected from a large hole in the outer shell onto the inner shell. Its brightness is so high that it shines through the inner shell like an egg shell, and we see the sun. The scattered light around the spot is smaller It’s so strong that it also shines through the inner shell, and this is the clear sky we see during the day.”

"What force drives the two-layer spherical shell to rotate irregularly?"

"It is the power of the sea of ​​fire outside the universe."

"But the size and brightness of the sun are different in different periods. In your double-shell model, the size and brightness of the sun should be constant. If the external sea of ​​​​fire is uneven, at least the size should be constant."

"You think of this model too simply. As the external sea of ​​​​fire changes, the size of the outer shell of the universe will also expand or contract, which leads to changes in the size and luminosity of the sun."

"What about the flying stars?"

"Flying stars? Why do you always mention flying stars? They are unimportant things, just dust flying around in the universe ball."

"No, I think flying stars are important. Also, how does your model explain the sun going out in the sky during the era of King Ri?"

"That's a rare exception. It could be a dark patch or black cloud in the outer sea of ​​fire that just happens to drift through the big hole in the outer shell."

Shakespeare pointed to the big copper ball and asked: "This must be your model of the universe, right?"

"No, this is a cosmic machine made by my father. The complex set of gears that rotate the ball simulates the effect of the external sea of ​​​​fire on the ball. The law of this action is the distribution and flow of flames in the external sea of ​​​​fire. I summed it up after hundreds of years of observation."
