Eleven was an orphan in the interstellar age. When her master found her, her whole body was a wreck.
Little by little, he used his makeshift biological reconstruction techniques to give her a new body.
He didn't teach Eleven how to speak, but he taught her mathematics. He didn't teach her how to interact with people, but he taught her physics. He didn't teach her how to make money, but he taught her astronomy.
Her master said, "Mathematics is the language for understanding the universe. Physics is the key to understanding the world. Astronomy is the code for understanding the stars."
Her master also said, "Our ancestors had been gazing up at the stars for tens of thousands of years. It was by understanding the language of the stars that we learned where we came from and where we should go. That's why our people are called the Han, and why phrases like 'the Milky Way shines brilliantly' have been passed down through our culture. The movements of the planets are connected to our fate. Pursuing the secrets of the stars is the same as pursuing the secrets of ourselves. Though you're an orphan, your life isn't lonely, because you're deeply connected to the universe."
Theme: The relationship between humanity and the universe, and how exploring and understanding the universe can help us understand ourselves and the world.
