Tang Yue sat on the Mars Wanderer's geolab, watching the setting sun fall below the horizon. In the same direction, the night sky and starry sky were slowly rising.
Tang Yue had heard of the legend of Guixu. In an era when sea navigation and cosmology were underdeveloped, the ancients believed the land to be flat. They believed that at the end of the world was an unending huge waterfall that went over the edge. Boundless amounts of seawater would cascade down from the cliff into an endless void. That was truly an unimaginable spectacle.
He had tried imagining Mars to be a massive plane. If that were true, Tang Yue would be able to see the resplendent Milky Way rise from beneath his feet simply by standing at the edge of the land… If only Mars were flat, that could save him the trouble of looking up to face the Universe.
Looking up just stressed the neck too much.
Tomcat crawled up from the side and sat beside Tang Yue.
