《星》阿瑟·克拉克 中文搬运(5)

我们在凤凰星云所见的一切，都不能证明什么。坚持上述论据的人，只是感情用事，而不是据理立论。神不须向人交待他的行事方式，他能造宇宙；也能毁灭宇宙。如果神的行事得由我们管着，那只是人的高傲自大、目空一切，严重一点说，甚至是在亵读神。
对在凤凰星云所见的一切，对这整个星球的文明被大火化为灰烬的遭遇，我本来可以装作视而不见，只需要心肠再硬一点就行。但凡事都有极限，人的信仰亦然。我望着面前一堆计算结果，只觉我坚贞不移的信念，像遇上地震般不可抗拒地动摇了。
我们抵达星云前，无法知道那颗星的爆炸年份。现在我们掌握了天体物理探测的数据，和那硕果仅存的行星上岩石的化验结果，使我能准确计算出星球爆炸的时刻。我知道这个宇宙轰天雷的闪光到达地球的年份，我算出在载着我们飞奔回家的太空船后面迅速退却的超新星残核，当年在地球的天空中闪烁着多么耀眼的光芒。我仿佛见到那颗星，像个远方的灯塔般闪着光辉，在东方的拂晓中，引领旭日登场。
千古谜团终于解破，不容我们怀疑。但……神啊！宇宙间有亿万恒星，为什么你偏选上这颗？你用大火断送了整个世界的人，就只是为了照亮伯利恒的早晨？
The brilliance of the gas around the spacecraft dispelled the darkness of ordinary interstellar space. Our goal, like a detonated space bomb, thousands of years have passed, and its fiery fragments are still flying away. The explosion is so large that the fragments of stars are scattered in billions of kilometers of space, but there is no dynamic feeling of flying. After several generations, the naked eye may be able to detect chaotic gas and entangled vortex, and some of them move slightly. At the moment, the surging momentum of the nebula is breathtaking enough. A supernova so bright that it can be seen in the daytime. In the next thousand years, there were three supernovae.We turned off the main power several hours ago, and flew to the dangerous little dwarf at a surplus speed. In the past, it was no different from our sun. Unfortunately, the energy that will keep it alive for millions of years will be dissipated in a few hours. What we see is just a little star who is stingy with every penny of energy, as if to compensate for the wasted light.Finding a planet in this situation is almost a delusion. Even if there was a planet in the past, it turned into steam and debris when it exploded, and mixed with the gas of the nebula. However, we did an automatic search (this is a necessary procedure when flying over a star that has never been detected before) and found a lonely planet. Its trajectory is far away from the dwarf star in the center of the nebula. Its situation is just like Pluto in the solar system. This planet, hovering on the edge of the eternal night Between stars, has never tasted the warmth brought by vitality. But it is the long distance that makes it survive the bad luck of being gasified like its companions.On the burned surface of the planet, only the charred rock, and the solid balloon that once wrapped it, was burned off. We landed on this planet and found grottoes.The builders of the grottoes made every effort to ensure that it would be discovered by later generations. There is only a pool of solidified lava left in the stone monument in the grottoes, but from the long-distance reconnaissance pictures, we are quite sure that it is a sign of wisdom. Later, we detected the radioactive radiation widely distributed all over the planet. The stone signs outside the grottoes can be destroyed, but the radiation prints can't be erased, and signals will be sent to the surroundings constantly. Our spaceship shot at the red heart of this big target like an arrow.The stone sign should have been one mile high, but now it is like a melting candle. We came here as astronomers, but now we have to be part-time archaeologists. However, we have all forgotten our original goal. We know that they chose this remote planet and built this huge sign for only one purpose: a civilized race, knowing that it is doomed, hopes to be immortal.It will take us several generations to fully digest the treasures in the grottoes. Their sun must have a warning before it broke out, so they have plenty of time to prepare, and they can bring all the essence they want to leave behind to this world to hide, and look forward to discovering it for other races in the future without being forgotten. Would we be so motivated? Or are you trapped in sorrow, too lazy to pay attention to the future that you can't live or touch?Why not give them more time! They can travel back and forth Between planets, but they are far from crossing interstellar space. One hundred light-years away, there is another yang department. Even if they have mastered the secret of hyperspace thrusters, they can only save millions of lives at most. Perhaps, such an ending is more acceptable to most people.From the sculptures they left behind, we can see that they are very similar to human beings, but even if they are not, we will still be sad for their fate. They left thousands of video records, together with the projection machines and detailed illustrations, and we easily understood their language. We have carefully read these records, and this is the first time that a civilization more advanced than ours has reappeared before our eyes. Maybe they only left the best side for us to see, but it's no wonder that they, anyway, their beautiful cities are no less than the earth. We watched them work and play, and listened to their melodious language. In particular, there was a picture still fresh in my mind: a group of children playing on the beach of blue sand, plants like weeping willows lined by the water's edge, huge animals walking in shallow water, and people didn't care.At sunset, the afterglow of their sun still warms the earth. Who knows, the sun will soon become a killing judge, and this race will be condemned to death?Presumably, we are deeply moved because we have been lonely and homesick for a long time. Many of us have been to other planets and explored the remains of other civilizations, but we have never felt as deeply as we do today. The decline of a race is like the rise and fall of the earth. Let a splendid civilization burn with a big fire ... How can this be said to be a manifestation of God's mercy?My team members once asked this question, and I tried my best to answer it. Father Lola, you may be more sure, but the gods have no inspiration for me. They are not a group of evil people, and I don't know what kind of gods they worship. I look back at them decades ago, watching them save their cherished ones with their last efforts, and watching them unearthed under the collapsed sun. They deserve to be our mentors-why destroy them!I already knew how my colleagues would answer this question after returning to Earth. They will say this: everything in the universe has no purpose, and the universe is not ambitious. Since hundreds of stars explode every year in the Milky Way galaxy, at the moment, deep in space, civilization will be destroyed. Whether this race has done evil or not has nothing to do with the bad luck it faces: there is no god in the universe, no justice, so there is no scourge.What we saw in the Phoenix Nebula proved nothing. Those who insist on the above arguments are just emotional, not reasoned. God doesn't have to explain his ways to people, he can create the universe; Can also destroy the universe. If God's actions are under our control, it's just arrogance, arrogance, or, more seriously, even contempt for God.I could have pretended to turn a blind eye to everything I saw in the Phoenix Nebula, and the whole planet's civilization was reduced to ashes by the fire. I just needed to be a little harder. But everything has its limits, and so does one's faith. I looked at a pile of calculation results in front of me, only to feel that my unswerving belief shook irresistibly like an earthquake.We can't know the explosion year of that star until we reach the nebula. Now we have mastered the astrophysical exploration data and the test results of the rocks on the only remaining planet, so that I can accurately calculate the time when the planet exploded. I know the year when the flash of cosmic thunder reached the earth, and I figured out how dazzling the supernova remnant that was rapidly retreating behind the spacecraft carrying us home was shining in the sky of the earth that year. I seem to see the star, shining like a distant lighthouse, leading the rising sun at dawn in the east.The eternal mystery has finally been solved, and we can't doubt it. But ... Oh, my God! There are billions of stars in the universe. Why did you choose this one? You ruined the whole world with a fire just to light up the morning in Bethlehem?
