Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 125: Time flies
The next morning, in the cafeteria on the first floor.

Aunt Wang placed an oval plate on the dining table in front of Li Mu and asked expectantly,
"This is the rabbit leg I braised overnight. Try it and see if it suits your taste. If it doesn't taste right, I'll make some modifications."

Li Mu looked at the red rabbit leg on the plate, which was as big as an ordinary pork elbow, and couldn't help but sigh that Aunt Wang's work efficiency was really high:

I just gave him the wild rabbit last night, and it was already braised this morning!

"This looks delicious. There's no doubt about your cooking skills!"

Li Mu didn't hesitate to pick up the braised rabbit leg from the plate with chopsticks and started to taste it.

All of a sudden, a numbing and spicy taste came over him, immediately stimulating his taste buds and whetting his appetite.

"delicious!"

Li Mu gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Eh? Lao Li, what good thing are you stealing?"

Just then, Yu Shuaikang walked into the room, shook his nose and asked.

"There's no portion for you. If you want to eat, wait two more days."

Li Mu replied calmly without even raising his head.

Yu Shuaikang first said "huh" with disdain, then said with a look of joy:
"I'm looking for you for something else. Someone has come to Wanling City following the guidance of the lighthouse tree fruit!"

Li Mu was stunned when he heard this, but then he became happy as well. After so long, a survivor finally showed up!
"How many people? Where are they?"

"Just one. I arranged for him to eat in the underground city."

Yu Shuaikang waved his hand, "Don't worry, let's eat first, and someone will bring him over later."

"Okay."

Li Mu shrugged. Hearing that only one person was coming, he wasn't so excited anymore.

Half an hour later, Li Mu finished his breakfast and sat in a chair, drinking tea quietly, waiting for his arrival.

Not long after, Fu Zikui came in with a man with shawl hair and untidy beard. The man was carrying a bamboo tube-shaped object wrapped in clothes on his back.

"City Lord, I have brought the people with me."

Fu Zikui clasped his hands together and said respectfully.

Li Mu stood up and looked at the man in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. This man did not look like an ordinary survivor. Although he looked very sloppy, his eyes were very bright and he had an indescribable temperament.

The man walked up to Li Mu and bowed deeply.

"Hello, my name is 'Wang Xingheng', and I came to Wanling City following the guidance of the lighthouse tree fruit." The man's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was full of determination, "I have an important discovery to tell you!"

When Li Mu heard Wang Xingheng say the name of the lighthouse tree, he immediately guessed: This must have been told to him by Yu Shuaikang or someone else.

But he didn't think much about it, but waved his hand, "Please sit down!"

Wang Xingheng didn't hesitate and sat down immediately. Then he gently placed the things he was carrying on the table and opened the outer layer of clothes.

What appeared in front of Li Mu was a silver monocular telescope that was half a meter long and as thick as a thigh, with exquisite workmanship.

"This thing must have been very expensive before the end of the world!" This was Li Mu's first feeling.

The man picked up the telescope, his expression full of seriousness, "The discovery I want to talk about is related to this astronomical telescope."

“It turned out to be an astronomical telescope.”

It's no wonder that Li Mu mistook it for an ordinary monocular telescope. The truth is that Li Mu had only seen astronomical telescopes on TV before and had never seen one in real life. After all, this thing is very expensive. The basic model costs several thousand, and the high-end ones cost hundreds of thousands, which is enough to buy a house in his hometown!
"Since I was very fond of observing the stars in the sky, my parents bought me this astronomical telescope to satisfy my hobby, and I also found a lot of fun in it."

Wang Xingheng spoke softly while stroking the astronomical telescope in his hand, as if he was missing something.

After a few seconds, he took a deep breath and looked at Li Mu with a firm gaze. "You may not believe what I say next, but I promise that what I say is true! If you don't believe it, just wait until tonight and you will know."

Li Mu frowned. Normally, if someone said something like this, what he would say next would definitely be beyond common sense and unbelievable. However, he still suppressed his emotions and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead."

Although they were mentally prepared, what Wang Xingheng said next still made everyone present drop their jaws.

He said in a cold voice: "I suspect that the entire solar system is moving towards an unknown place! Or, another galaxy has suddenly come to the Milky Way!"

"what?!"

"Ok?"

Li Mu's first reaction after hearing this was disbelief. How could these two things be true? !

It's even more unbelievable than saying that he traveled to an unknown universe.

But Li Mu thought again, unless the man in front of him was crazy, he must have his own reasons for saying so, so he asked calmly, "To be honest, I don't believe what you said, but I will give you a chance to explain."

Wang Xingheng was not angry. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed it. But after so many days of observation, he was now certain of it.

"Have you ever observed the starry sky above your heads? Has no one noticed that there are many strange stars in the night sky?"

Li Mu couldn't help but touch his chin when he heard this. Since the end of the world, his only impression of the night sky was that the stars were much brighter. Apart from that, he had not noticed any other changes.

"Who would notice this..."

Yu Shuaikang muttered to the side, and Fu Zikui shrugged in agreement.

Wang Xingheng sighed, "If I hadn't watched the starry sky for so many years, I wouldn't have discovered this, but this is indeed true. Not only in the solar system, but in the entire galaxy, there are countless new strange planets that have never been observed before."

After taking a deep breath, he said seriously, "Besides, I suspect the end of the world has something to do with this!"

Li Mu fell into deep thought.

Although he did not have a deep understanding of the universe, he was well aware that the entire solar system was in constant motion.

However, the universe is so vast and boundless, and distances are measured in light years. Traveling to other galaxies seems to be an unattainable dream that requires crossing endless time and space.

But he suddenly thought, the Blue Planet was originally fine, so how come the sun suddenly dimmed, causing the temperature of the Blue Planet to drop sharply and usher in the Ice Age?

Also, how is source energy produced? Where did those meteorites containing source energy crystals come from?

After connecting all this together, Li Mu suddenly felt that what Wang Xingheng said was not impossible.

Li Mu was sure that Blue Star originally had no source energy!
However, if the solar system really suddenly moved to an unknown place, or an unknown galaxy came to the Milky Way, and both of them have source energy themselves, then everything can be explained.
