Ark, they don't revolve around you

Hearing this question, Zhuang Ning pondered for a moment and raised his head.

"One year of Jupiter's orbit is one year of time, so Jupiter is called Suixing." He said softly, "We are just beginning to colonize Jupiter, so shall we call you Sui?"

……

……

Dawn of Age, Year 13

Sui opened his eyes and saw a huge aircraft landing.

The fuselage, made entirely of alloy, is like an elegant swan, and the vector nozzle slowly goes out.

When the cabin door opened, the dusty Zhuang Ning walked down the red carpet surrounded by guards.

On both sides were people lining the streets to welcome the event, as well as reporters swarming in with all kinds of microphones extended. The scene was extremely crazy for a while.

Zhuang Ning hurriedly got into the car and put everything behind him. Only then did he have time to sigh: "Aren't people nowadays too crazy?"

"You just don't quite get used to it." The woman next to him smiled.

"Puresai, don't make fun of me, I just..." Zhuang Ning's eyes fixed, and he noticed a certain gaze.

From a long distance, those eyes watched quietly.

He was quiet for a moment, then whispered, "Drive to the base. I haven't seen my old friend for a long time."

"Old friend?"

"It's the year old." Zhuang Ning murmured, "The giant beast I'm responsible for."

……

……

"Are you asking me what I do? Why am I admired by so many people?"

Zhuang Ning couldn't help but smile when he heard this question: "Your understanding of humans has obviously improved a lot, and it's much better than your peers. At least you still have the desire to communicate with me."

"similar?"

"Yes, this land... No, not only the land, but also the ocean. In short, there are too many giant beasts in this world. We approached them out of curiosity, but most of them were unwilling to respond to us."

"They may just be falling asleep."

"Fall asleep? I think so too. Perhaps for creatures like you who cannot judge with common sense, a thousand years can pass in one sleep."

Zhuang Ning restrained his smile and said, "Let's get back to the point. You can think of me as a scholar who studies genes. That's why I was sent here to study you. My research has made progress, so those people welcome me."

"Researching this word makes me uncomfortable." said Sui almost instinctively.

The wind and sand were very strong. He looked towards the human settlements. His eyes were very clear and he could see the scenery of the city at a glance.

"Uncomfortable? The wording you use is very close to that of a human being." Zhuang Ning exclaimed.

He hesitated for a while, then said softly, "That's cooperation, sui. I was sent by humans to cooperate with you."

"The Behemoth is the most incredible creature born on this land, on this planet!"

He listed them all, "Originally this area should have been a plain, but in the past your compatriots fought each other, creating basins and mountain ranges... Tsk tsk, this is a fight between the Supreme Beings, even the avenues have been wiped out."

Of course, Sui didn't understand that this person was playing a joke, but was interested in a word: "Tao?"

"Tao, what does it mean?"

Zhuang Ning was stunned by what he said casually. He scratched his head and really didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Fortunately, Sui did not just dwell on this word. He just raised his head and uttered a distant sound that echoed among the mountains.

The sound cannot conceal the ups and downs, the emotional fluctuations, which make people feel inexplicably lonely.

"age?"

"I... I don't know why I would do this." The voice of the year-old was much lower. "I just thought that if you were studying me, I could also study you."

"It's cooperation." Zhuang Ning corrected.

He noticed that the big guy seemed to have some kind of emotional change, and he clapped his hands and had an idea.

A few days later, the trailer was pulling a projection board that was much larger than itself, galloping over the ups and downs of the terrain.

Zhuang Ning jumped down: "This is the information I found temporarily, it may be more suitable for you."

"Considering that you are too big now and probably can't read books, just watch some movies and TV shows first. Maybe you will have a comprehensive understanding of our behavior."

He selected the channel, and a paradise appeared on the screen, with three men sworn brotherhood with each other.

"This is?"

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a historical drama. It would be too boring to watch it directly, so why not watch an entertainment product first?" Zhuang Ning said proudly. "This is a project I am in charge of. It is very interesting!"

Sui could hear his pride: "Is this the project you are in charge of?"

"To put it simply, you can think of it as a period similar to the Renaissance." Zhuang Ning shook his head. "We are new here and need some spiritual comfort, so the higher-ups have launched a project to guide humans to think about ancient culture, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of them."

"Use this to understand humans." He clapped his hands and jumped back into the strangely shaped car. "I'm going to be away for a while. Maybe I can give you a surprise when I come back."

"Ah."

"You are good in every way, except that you are a little silent and you didn't even ask me where I was going." Zhuang Ning waved at Him, "Goodbye."

As if it was an illusion, the huge body moved, imitating human movements and waving its claws.

Before he left, he babbled like a child: "Where are you going?"

Zhuang Ning pointed to the sky and said, "The moon."

I still remember his grinning expression: "I want to go to the megastructure to see the universe."

……

……

About a year later, Zhuang Ning came back.

When he came back, there was no obvious change in him, except that his excitement had faded a little and he was a little sad.

"PhD."

"Years old." He said a little depressed, "How have you been lately?"

"Very good, human things are very interesting."

"Just be happy." Zhuang Ning leaned back, looked at the sun, and then covered his eyes with his hands, "It's a bit hot today."

"Are you, scared?"

"Afraid... Yes, I am indeed afraid." Zhuang Ning bit her lip, "Maybe I'm afraid that all my efforts will be in vain."

"I don't understand."

"It's okay if you don't understand. I can only say that this universe is too dangerous. The Dark Forest has never lied to me."

Zhuang Ning would talk about some jokes from time to time, but Sui couldn't understand them. His understanding of humans was still in a confused state.

“I have finished reading the Four Great Classics.”

"Oh, now that you've read it, what do you think?"

"I don't like Dream of the Red Chamber." Sui said honestly.

"why?"

"Because I don't understand." Sui actually showed his depression.

Compared with a year ago, his spirit has obviously changed: "In comparison, I prefer Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West."

"Maybe you just don't like trivial things." Zhuang Ning looked solemn.

His trip to the moon was not just to see the universe as he claimed, but in fact it was a summit bringing together the top scientists in various fields.

This is also the reason for his gloomy mood. The signal receiver has detected some hostile message. The continuation of civilization depends on this. Compared with this, the trivial emotions may be boring and uninteresting.

But this is not suitable to be told to the elderly.

"Then you can learn some historical stuff." Zhuang Ning touched the rock-like body of the giant beast, "You still have a long life ahead of you."

"If you don't understand, I can teach you. Like I said, we have to cooperate with each other."

……

……

"Okay, this is a little dragon. Once he absorbs water, he will grow bigger!"

Zhuang Ning shook the little creature in his arms. It was a miniature dragon that was struggling dishonestly.

Unfortunately, the child is too young, and neither the keratin on the top of his head nor his claws and fangs have fully grown, so he is not afraid of killing at all.

When Sui saw this existence, his heart suddenly palpitated and he felt an indescribable closeness.

"This is?"

"The result of our experiments. We edited the genes of your giant beasts and artificially bred this little fellow."

Zhuang Ning pretended to be serious: "In a sense, they are your descendants, right?"

He suddenly became curious: "Are you a male or a female? I've been with you for so long, and I haven't thought about this."

"Male and female, male and female? No, we don't need it. Behemoths are hard to die, and there is almost no need to reproduce."

"I'm not talking about that. I mean, what gender do you consider yourself to be?"

When Zhuang Ning got here, his eyes became suspicious, "It can't be an armed helicopter, right?"

"military helicopter?"

"...Pretend I didn't say anything. This version is a bit too early for the current Terra." Zhuang Ning cleared his throat. "Anyway, do you consider yourself a man or a woman?"

"I have no idea."

"That's true. There's almost no need for you to worry about this." Zhuang Ning didn't delve into it.

The little dragon in his arms had fallen asleep peacefully. "This fellow probably doesn't have your immortality ability. He needs to continue to evolve. Who knows what form he will evolve into."

"If you become a human like me and have the characteristics of a dragon, then you will truly be a descendant of the dragon."

This time I can understand his meaning. From the information, there is indeed a country that uses the dragon as its totem.
