Chapter 163: Chapter 10 Miracles Chapter 163: Chapter 10 Miracles Xi’an People’s Park—
Children bounced around the square, tugging at their parents’ sleeves and cheering with joy:
“It’s a meteor!
It’s a meteor!!
The sky is full of meteors!”
“Wow!
Is this a meteor shower?
It feels hundreds of times more spectacular than in cartoons!”
“1, 2, 3, … too many to count!
There must be over a hundred meteors!”
“These meteors are so orderly!
They’re different from what the teacher taught us in the textbook...
...
These meteors are like combs!”
Shanxi University, sports field—
Countless students stopped in their tracks on the track and the lawn, looking up at the splendid meteor shower in the sky:
“So many meteors!
Where did they all come from?”
“Was there a forecast for a meteor shower today?
I don’t remember any… With such a terrifying scale, there should’ve been an announcement in advance!”
“Is this… really meteors?
Since when are meteors so big, last so long, and fly so slowly...”
“Indeed, these meteors feel too close, not like regular meteors.
And the angle is too flat; what exactly are these things?”
...
Countless videos were taken and uploaded onto short video platforms.
The people in the surrounding area of Xi’an were all engaged in a heated discussion.
However, netizens from other provinces and cities, looking at the gorgeous footage of the meteor shower and then up at their own utterly calm night sky, were utterly baffled:
“What’s going on?
Aren’t meteor showers something the northern hemisphere can observe simultaneously?
Why is there nothing happening here?”
“Same here!
Didn’t see a single one!
Isn’t Xi’an just playing with special effects?”
“Utterly strange!
Could this be a meteor shower exclusively for Shanxi?
Which rich guy pulled this off?”
“Hiss… Meteor showers aren’t something that just any rich guy can manage, right?
What on earth is going on?
Hasn’t the official side given any explanation?”
...
At this moment.
In the southern sky of Xi’an, at an altitude of 4,000 meters.
A dozen Big Brown Bear 100-type planes were flying in an orderly trajectory.
Inside the leading “Big Brown Bear,” Lin Xian sat in the cockpit, and the voice of a crew member came through the intercom:
“The last wingsuit flyer has left the plane; all aircraft prepare to return according to the planned procedure.”@@@@
Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked through the cockpit windshield at the “meteors” below, which were gradually flying towards their respective safe landing points.
With this view… the plan had succeeded perfectly.
He smiled, watching as the cascade of sparks from the fireworks canisters on the wingsuit flyers began to peter out, disappearing into the night.
Liu Feng hurried over to pull the door open, looking at Li Qiqi:
“What gift, all shrouded in mystery...
”
Li Qiqi cast a nostalgic look at the quiet sky, chuckled, and pulled out a beautifully covered book from under the blanket, then, trembling with both hands as though she was using all her strength...
she handed it to Liu Feng.
“This is...”
Liu Feng saw the gilded title on the cover, gasped in cool air, and his eyes filled with disbelief:
Introduction to the Cosmological Constant
Author: Liu Feng
This...
How is it possible?
No one wanted to publish my book!
And I’ve never approached a publisher...
All the conjectures in this book are wrong, who would dare publish such misleading literature?
Liu Feng opened the cover, only to find that not only was his photo printed on the title page, but there was also an author’s bio underneath:
[Liu Feng, born in April 1996 in Shanxi, China, entered the Mathematics Department of Shanxi University in 2014, devoted himself to the study of the cosmological constant after obtaining his master’s degree in 2021, and has condensed his research into this book.]
However, there was no information on the publisher’s page.
Not even the publisher’s information, nor the price...
“Hehe, I had it made by a merchant on Taobao.”
Li Qiqi stuck out her tongue sheepishly, her breath somewhat weak, half-squinting, looking up at Liu Feng:
“Although...
No one is willing to publish this book now, no one is willing to acknowledge it’s correct, and there is only this one copy in the entire world...
”
“But I believe that one day...
this book will be translated into dozens of languages, placed in every bookstore around the world, alongside ‘Theory of Relativity,’ ‘A Brief History of Time,’ ‘From One to Infinity’...
”
“I believe that will happen,” Li Qiqi squeezed out a smile, leaning back in her wheelchair, looking at Liu Feng, whose image was blurring in her sight:
“Because I...
made a wish...”
Liu Feng’s hands trembled as he turned to the last page of the book.
A small card was tucked inside the back cover...
The black ink on it was not yet dry, obviously written by Li Qiqi just after she entered the room.
Picking it up to read the content, Liu Feng bit his lip, tears already irresistibly dripping down.
He placed it back inside the cover, afraid his falling tears would blur the already faint handwriting.
“Feng Feng...
I’m so cold...”
Li Qiqi’s breath was faint as she murmured.
Liu Feng was about to push her back into the house, but when he placed her ice-cold hands under the blanket...
he seemed to realize something.
“Feng Feng...
hold me...”
Liu Feng knelt in front of the wheelchair, tightly embracing Qi Qi, who was so thin she seemed almost weightless.
“How beautiful...” The Li Qiqi in his arms became devoid of strength.
Her eyes, gazing skyward, saw the pupils gradually dispersing.
As if she could see the meteor shower that had descended for her minutes ago.
As if she could see the rows of “Introduction to the Cosmological Constant,” the lines of simple yet exquisite derivations, hundreds of years later in a bookstore.
“It’s all so beautiful...”
Amidst her contented smile.
Qi Qi slowly closed her eyes...
