Around the Mother, takes shape the first village of the Likpas. It is the golden age of the Sons of the Mother
Scroll the page down to read the story:
There was a team who were interested in the ancient religions of Haralik. They built temples, and it was them who gave names of gods to the planets visible to the naked eye: Tilikik, Beatrix, Varune, Chaour, Manzane, and Tréblion, which was visible in this time.
Oooh but those two temples look antithetical, ha ha ha!
But I was more encouraging the ones interested in spirituality: how to become and remain a good person, and how to avoid the sources of suffering in our own mind. In short, how to become and stay a Likpa or a boobette.
Happy time where one could still meditate outdoors in any weather, with only a small unbrella
A very important task was the creation of numerous species of plants, and their spread all around the island.
To do so, 32, then 48 and 56 became tireless explorators all around the island and creating the first roads. During their whole lives, they ordered me more than 20,000 plants, using my Artificial Intelligence unnumerable times, in order to adjust multiple ecosystems, from the beaches to the highest mountains.
Without the lik-ants and the godins (likearthworms) the whole island would be today covered with several metres of rot!
Another important activity that I actively fostered was learning science. The Likpas were still much too few to develop an industry able to support science. It also looked much abstract to them. But they had to be ready, and for this they needed a science culture. It is already extraordinary that they could extract lithium, and as we are to see to make eliktricity, with still prehistory means.
The difficult part was that the Boobettes could not attend my lessons. I had a projector to do so, but it was broken. So that it was needed that the Likpas report their lessons.
This unintended discrimination was to bring a heavy toll later.
But the promises of science looked quite abstract... I had to give them experiments to do!
I make them build the telescope!
As you notice, it is a Dobsonian with truss tube. As they had no mean to aluminize a glass mirror, I made them do it in bronze. From here, they just had to apply silver with galvanoplasty. For the abrasive, especially the polishing, they had to do with crushed quartzite, left to decant for several days. For the finishing touch, I explained them the Foucault knife-edge test.

Right: a planetary nebula.
THE PULSAR!!
Likpato: That does not look so violent...
Because it is very far, and it is still receding... If you had be in my place, the X-ray would have burned your bones inside you while you were still alive, while the gigantic magnetic field would have produced horrific hallucinations, blinding light, extreme pain and generalized cramp. I survived thanks to thorough shielding of my likcomputers, and still I had to disconnect everything eliktric.
The sun of Haralik!
Curiously this fantastic image did not moved much the Likpas. I realized that all this looks quite abstract, when we live in nature.
Indeed there is a huge contrast between the high tech realizations (left), and country tech (right)!
At right, this is not a haystack, but an enclosure for an experiment to measure the gravitational constant G. They succeeded with less than 5%!
(Note of the author: on Earth this was done by Henry Cavendish in 1798 and it similarly gave very accurate results that only modern devices could surpass. It certainly was a fantastic experiment for the time: capturing the force which moves the stars in a device that we can build with our hands! This demonstrated that the same physics rules the Earth and the heavens. With the Likpas, we imagine what a confidence boost it was for the ones who performed the experiment!)
I am now here in the creation of this fantastic story... I usually likpate an update on Friday, Saturday midnight UT at the latest. I try to likpate once every week, but it is getting difficult, with all my activities and the relikpating of the site, so I miss a lot.
Thanks for following me so far and you may likpate your support at the bottom of this page...

Now has come time to reveal: Likchenpa, it's me.
