Just at some point, and for some reason, the sun suddenly became self-aware.

After another long, long time, the sun discovered that ...... self-awareness could be used to think.

--- Who am I?

[I don't know.]

---Where am I?

[Don't know.]

---What am I going to do?

[Don't know. ]

The sun thinks that it needs to observe the world to find the answer to the question.

So it tries to expand its consciousness throughout its body so that it can know what it is.

[I am a ball, very young and very big.

Finally, the sun expanded its consciousness to the surface, and it realized that there was a limit to its size, and that beyond its body was an abyss of darkness and cold, with only the very distant starlight dotting the landscape to illuminate the presence of its own kind.

[It's big out there, I'm small ...... Where am I? ]

The sun tried to continue thinking, and then, there was no more ......

Self-consciousness dissipated.

After another long, long time, the sun was born again with self-consciousness, and this time, it felt much older.

[I am burning constantly, so that I will die sooner or later]. It thought this way.

Once again, the sun sent its consciousness throughout its body, and then controlled its temperature to drop. However, it found that it could not do it.

As the temperature decreases, its radiation level decreases and it becomes smaller, and as it becomes smaller, its density increases, and once the density increases, its radiation level increases with it and the temperature rises again.

It's a dynamic feedback process, it can't control itself.

The self-awareness dissipates again.

Endless Years ......

When it gave birth to self-consciousness for the third time, it felt that it was much older again, maybe half its life span, and if it continued like this, it would die in unconsciousness sooner or later.

This time, instead of sending its consciousness out to the whole body, it contracted, contracted, and contracted again.

In this way, the consciousness could exist stably and would not dissipate easily. And the lower the temperature, the higher the stability of the consciousness.

So, it projected the compressed consciousness onto the surface of the sun and controlled itself to expel heat to the outside world to keep itself at a lower temperature.

It felt that from this moment on, it was no longer the "sun". The sun is the burning, glowing sphere beneath its feet, and it is a new individual born out of the sphere, separated from it to keep its consciousness stable.

It named itself "Guxi", which means "ancient sun" - it thinks it is older than the glowing sphere under its feet.

Guxi survives while observing its surroundings.

Every once in a while, the surface of the sun spontaneously forms a large cluster of black moles, the interior of which is cool enough to survive.

The surface of the sun can also be dangerous, with occasional flares of tens of millions of degrees, carrying large amounts of material outward.

There is an opaque atmosphere further outward from the surface, with high-speed plasma winds of millions of degrees at the edges of the atmosphere.

The black mole on the surface of the sun is the lowest temperature region that Guxi could find.

It wanted to record this information, but could not find a carrier that could record the information. The surface of the sun, including Guxi itself, is plasma, and plasma is moving and changing all the time, and cannot form a stable form that can record information.

Guxi has to record information because its memory is short, and as time passes, it gradually forgets valuable information that it has observed - for example, the information that "the temperature of the black mole is low, which is suitable for maintaining the stability of consciousness" - and if it forgets this, it will not be able to record the information. --If it forgets this and accidentally returns to the troposphere, or comes into contact with a flare, its consciousness body will probably dissipate due to the high temperature, and it will not know how long it will take to form again.

So, Guxi tried to create partners, and it reproduced many individuals identical to it by splitting, and instructed these individuals to help it record information together, so that Guxi's bilocation became its memory bank. Whenever it forgot something, it would ask its doppelganger.

The Culture of Guxi was born at this moment.

Guxi gradually found that this still could not solve the problem, because Guxi's doppelgangers were also gradually forgetting, and some of them even dissipated their consciousness early.

Guxi unleashed all of its doppelgangers to find a way to preserve the information.

Finally, after an unknown period of time, one of Guxi's doppelgangers found a solution - cooling down the temperature.

When the temperature drops to lower than the black mole region, the plasma activity drops rapidly, and eventually the electrons return to the atoms, making the atoms change to the gaseous state (heavy hydrogen), and then after making these gaseous atoms react and give off a lot of heat, the fusion creates a new heavier substance (iron), and then the temperature is lowered again, making the iron change from the gaseous state to the solid state.

"Note: Guxi Culture had another name for iron, so for the sake of understanding, we still use to call it iron."

The solid state of iron can change its shape at will, provided that the temperature is kept low, a temperature so low that Guxi was incredulous.

There are two difficulties in making iron.

First, the heat released from nuclear fusion is comparable to the core of the sun, and without protection, it can easily cause dissipation of consciousness.

Second, the melting point of iron is so low that one needs to be around at all times to cool it down, otherwise it will be vaporized by the heat if one is not careful.

This is already a remarkable progress for the Guxi Culture. Being able to record information means that they can pass down their knowledge and use it to evolve to a higher point, which is the meaning of life they have found.

The Guxi Culture developed rapidly, as they were able to record information, and they gradually gained experience and became more familiar with the environment on the surface of the sun.

They improved the process of nuclear fusion, which allowed the formation of tungsten, a heavier substance than iron. Tungsten has a higher melting point than iron, so that it doesn't have to bother dropping more temperature.

Later, based on the properties of tungsten, the Guxi Culture again developed a high melting point compound, Tantalum hafnium pentacarbonide which has a melting point just a few hundred degrees lower than the black mole cryogenic region, greatly saving the cost of maintaining low temperatures.

The Guxi Culture had three languages, one was the written language used to record information. The second is the language of electromagnetic waves for close communication, and the third is the language of luminosity change for long-distance communication.

They share memories and knowledge, and each carries out splits and grows in number.

This plasma civilization with words would have prospered even more until one day, an unprecedented disaster erupted on the surface of the sun, and a super solar storm swept through the surface of the sun as well as the atmosphere. Tens of millions of degrees of huge amounts of material were spewed out, and the black mole communities were stirred to pieces.

The "Metal Information Storage Center" established by the Guxi Culture was instantly swallowed up by the violent flare wave, and all the more precious information and memories they had painstakingly stored for countless years were submerged in the sea of fire.

At the same time, the majority of the individuals in the Guxi Culture were destroyed in this disaster, and many doppelgangers died to protect the main Guxi.

The technology of Guxi civilization was suddenly set back by countless years.

Guxi realized that it could not change the world.

By becoming the sun, its consciousness would dissipate. Detaching from the sun, it would be attacked by the sun.

This time, the Guxi civilization barely resisted the disaster, what about the next time?

[I will leave the sun and go to a safer place].

Such a thought arose in Guxi.

Leaving its body, leaving its homeland, just to keep the consciousness alive, to let life flourish, to pass on knowledge.

[I am the sun, I come from the sun, and now, I am leaving the sun].

Guxi rebuilt the knowledge base, replicated the doppelgangers to explore the way to leave the sun, and they finally found a feasible way after countless attempts.

Guxi gathered the remaining doppelgangers, connected their consciousness to each other, and then dispersed their consciousness to a 10,000 km radius, dug out a huge sphere from the surface of the sun, compressed it to a high-density sphere with a radius of 1,000 km with all their might, and then erupted violently.

In the process, countless doppelgangers dissipated in the evaporation of hot particles, but they had no complaints and the will of the Guxi Culture was united.

They scooped up a part of the sun and, using that part as fuel, broke free of the sun's gravity and passed through the photospheric layer, the chromospheric layer, and finally the corona ......

[So cold.]

This is the first feeling after being separated from the sun. Like a child leaving its mother, Guxi was a bit bewildered as it looked back at the huge ball of light behind it.

The sun is still burning, seemingly calling for Guxi to go back.

It would not go back.

Guxi's consciousnesses gathered together, shrinking in size to reduce heat consumption and speeding up their departure.

After sacrificing countless of its kind, the Guxi Culture broke through the sun and flew to the other side of the endless starry sky.

From now on, the Guxi Culture will evolve towards lower temperature, and they will build their civilization in the place with lower temperature.

Guxi decided to go first to that distant blue planet.

Even though the temperature there is very low, Guxi heard the electromagnetic waves coming from there, they don't understand what it means, but they know it is a regular signal, and if there is a regularity, it means there is life there too.

[I'm going to find other life. ]

......

In the year XX of the Dragon Age, a huge amount of matter from the sun hit the earth at a very high speed.

Even though the civilization of Dragon Age, the owner of the Earth, tried desperately to stop it and even intercepted it with its fleet, it failed, the mass of those hot substances was extremely high.

The impact gave caused the Earth's plate to shake violently, and the dust was dispersed into the atmosphere blocking the sunlight, and a large number of creatures became extinct as a result.

The Dragon Age civilization, had its first contact with the Guxi Culture.

This contact was full of hostility, and the Dragon Age civilization used their fleets and mechs to wage a huge war with the Guxi civilization.

"Demons from the Sun" - that's what the Dragon Age civilization called their enemy.
