The Oort cloud wrapping the solar system is filled with many inactive comets. This mysterious spherical cloud, also known as the comet cloud in the human world, steadily wraps everything in the solar system all year round.
A beam of light that looked like a meteor passed through the mysterious spherical cloud composed of the endless nebula remnants of the sun and its planets, and without any stop, once again broke through the celestial bodies outside the orbit of Neptune in the solar system and near the ecliptic plane. The dense disk-shaped area, the huge asteroid belt on the edge of the solar system - the Kuiper Belt.
Finally, this light entered the observable range of humans, but when human equipment was about to notice it, it accelerated again, and then came the eight major planets, the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and various satellites. the moon, and finally the earth.
The light from the universe broke through the atmosphere, and then stayed for a moment above a neon baseball field. Before a caddy in the baseball field turned around, the light disappeared into the clouds again, like a jet plane. Traces of the passage appeared in the clouds and disappeared over a building with a silver-white metallic texture in the Pacific Ocean.
Castor and Masaki Keigo have been waiting for a long time, feeling the light returning from the universe. The two looked at each other, and then Masaki Keigo turned off all the electronic equipment in the laboratory, "Do Sawai and the others know?"
"I know." Castor glanced at the figure who appeared in the laboratory, "But they also know that we still need to judge whether humans can currently touch these things."
Asuka wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to the edge to get a glass of water, and then took a big sip. The familiar and unfamiliar feedback from human organs gave him some aftertaste. Castor could see When Asuka came out, he wasn't thirsty. He was just trying to find his human side in this way.
Masaki Keigo casually took out three glasses and a bottle of whiskey from the corner of the laboratory, and then took out a box of ice cubes from the refrigerator where the experimental reagents were supposed to be placed. He tested the ice cubes through the ice box with the back of his hand. temperature, then he put the ice cubes into the cup with satisfaction, and then poured the amber wine into the cup.
"Hmph! Let me, Masaki Keigo, pour the wine myself." He shook his head, "That's you."
"Does whiskey have sake?" Kazuma Asuka asked a little embarrassed, "I used to be a pilot after all, and I'm considered a middle-aged man at my age."
"This thing can help you regain your human feeling as quickly as possible." Masaki Keigo said with some emotion, "This thing can help you break away from the rationality of light as quickly as possible."
Seeing Asuka Kazuma hesitate, Castor directly put the cold wine glass into the opponent's hand, then picked up a glass himself, and watched Masaki Keigo also pick up the last glass.
There was no clinking of glasses, the three of them just drank the wine in their glasses silently.
The people I choose are indeed different, Casto thought as he looked at their drinking postures.
Although Asuka Kazuma said that he was a pilot, when he actually drank, he drank all the liquid in the cup quickly.
Masaki Keigo is the complete opposite. Every sip he takes seems to be measured, with exactly the same frequency, exactly the same intake, and a face that will never change color, although he himself said that alcohol will make him lose his rationality. state, but Casto felt that there were many things that could make this guy lose his mind, but there would never be alcohol in them.
"Are you raising fish?" Masaki Keigo frowned and looked at the amount of liquid in Castor's cup. "If you don't know how to drink, I can give you milk. You don't need to spit it in, right?"
"That's because the ice cubes melted!" Casto curled his lips, "And compared to you, I'm just a child."
"Hmph! Who knows?" Masaki Keigo rolled his eyes at Castor, then turned his head and looked at Asuka Kazuma, who was already in a daze.
Asuka and Kazuma were called back from the universe by them.
The situation in the universe is different from what Masaki Keigo thought, at least that's what Castor told him.
In Masaki Keigo's original vision, based on the drawings of the cosmic empire, there should be a large number of unpredictable interstellar civilizations in the universe.
So according to common sense, there should be more cosmic civilizations appearing on the earth than there are now, but this is not the case.
And when Masaki Keigo used a computer to calculate, the result was not like this.
In the process of calculating the civilization of the universe, Masaki Keigo actually added the variable of the dark ruler in the deep sea. After all, he also knew how many civilizations the existence of this thing could block, but even so, the number was still wrong.
Too few. Even if there are ten more dark rulers, there will still be too few alien civilizations appearing on the earth.
Masaki Keigo had to admit that under this theory, there were still 'rules' in this universe that he didn't know about.
The Fermi Paradox, which should have expired in human society, reappeared in Masaki Keigo's calculations.
The Fermi Paradox is a scientific paradox about aliens and interstellar travel. This paradox only raises one thing, that is, between the high possibility of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization and the lack of proof in reality, The incomprehensible contradictions that exist.
The original idea for the Fermi Paradox was not proposed by Fermi, but came from an unpublished manuscript written by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky in 1933.
As the founder of astronautics and later known as the father of aerospace, he wrote: "People deny the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations because, if extraterrestrial civilizations really exist, two things should happen: One is that they should have visited the Earth, and the other is that they should have sent us some signals of their existence."
Of course, if this is the case, this question does not form a paradox, but is just a simple hypothesis deduction.
Because based on the fact that humans have not yet discovered extraterrestrial civilization and Tsiolkovsky's theory, the conclusion that should be drawn is that "there is no extraterrestrial civilization in the universe", and there will be no contradiction.
It was not until 1950 that Fermi came up with the question of where alien civilizations were while talking with his colleagues.
They also thought that if aliens exist, humans should have discovered aliens. But unlike Tsiolkovsky, Fermi made a simple calculation after the discussion and proposed that the probability of the existence of alien civilization is very high. The question therefore becomes a paradox.
After Fermi's death, the above content was published by his colleagues, and this paradox is also known as Fermi's Paradox.
N=Ng×Fp×Ne×Fl×Fi×Fc×FL.
The N on the left represents the number of observable extraterrestrial civilizations that should exist in the Milky Way. The first three items on the right represent the total number of planets in the Milky Way, and the following items represent multi-level conditional probabilities that extraterrestrial civilizations will be born and send signals. The required probabilities for each step are multiplied to get a total probability.
The two most important contradictory arguments of the Fermi Paradox are:
1. There should be a large number of alien civilizations in the Milky Way.
2. Human beings have observed no signs of extraterrestrial civilization.
The Fermi Paradox was broken on the eve of the establishment of TPC.
One of the reasons for the establishment of TPC is that after humans entered modern society, a large number of unknown cosmic radio waves were continuously detected. At the end of the last century, scientific research institutions in various countries and teams led by Director Sawai all experienced it personally. A true cosmic event.
When cosmic beings appeared, the Fermi Paradox was broken. This is the consensus of human society.
But the consensus of human society is not the consensus of Masaki Keigo.
After seeing that cosmic empire, Masaki Keigo modified the formula that constituted the Fermi Paradox, but he realized that even if he maximized the influence of the Dark Lord, it would not be able to bring about the current results. , because civilizations like the Earth today clearly have the foundation for interstellar travel, but they are actually unable to detect the existence of the Dark Dominator.
Then, with doubts in his mind, Masaki Keigo found Castor.
Castor acknowledged Masaki Keigo's research conclusion, but he could not give the most accurate explanation, so he called Asuka Kazuma.
Asuka Kazuma's wine dissipated quickly. He had been fighting in the universe for a long time. Even in such a safe situation, he would quickly get himself out of that dazed state under the control of his subconscious.
He shook his head, glanced at the empty cup in his hand with a wry smile, then looked at Masaki Keigo and Casto, who had been restraining themselves, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've been in the universe for too long, I just Being able to rely on such a short-term indulgence can help me regain my human state."
"I know, we have all become light." Masaki Keigo nodded. Although he had tried his best to control his human proportions in the giant form of light, it was inevitable that once he truly became light, he Or will it become more rational, more sacred, and closer to 'god'?
"So what do you want to see me for?" Asuka Kazuma smiled friendly at Masaki Keigo. Suddenly he looked around, "Isn't there another one? Where is that young man?"
"He was assigned other tasks by us." Masaki Keigo shrugged, "As you know, there are a lot of troubles on earth now."
"Well, I felt it when I came here. There are some strange things lurking in human society." Asuka Kazuma seemed to have completely sobered up and returned to the state of a seasoned warrior. "But since that is what you are doing. Yes, I won’t ask, so do you have any questions?”
Masaki Keigo took a deep breath, "Actually, this matter has something to do with the strange things you sensed. The thing is, we successfully made some Kirielod people, you can understand it as 'soul life forms' 'Joined the human camp'
Having said this, Masaki Keigo rubbed the bridge of his nose. He realized that his behavior seemed to be completely opposite to what Asuka Kazuma was doing.
But Masaki Keigo did not stop because of this. Instead, he looked at Asuka Kazuma more firmly, and then continued to speak to him.
"There are many reasons why the Kilielodians choose to integrate into human society, but one of the most important reasons why they are willing to negotiate with us is that they believe that at the rate of development of human civilization, it will not be long before humans will develop into A civilization at the level of a cosmic empire”
When it came to the key point, Masaki Keigo also became serious.
"However, a strange question also arises from this. No matter how special human beings are and the universe is so big, if it is really so easy for a civilization of the cosmic empire level to appear, then the universe will be occupied by those first cosmic civilizations. That’s right”
When Masaki Keigo said this, he began to knock on the table with his hands, "From this, I have a detailed understanding of the number of stars in the Milky Way, the proportion of stars with planets to all stars, the average number of terrestrial planets around stars, and the evolution of terrestrial planets. The probability of life being born, the probability of evolution from primitive life to highly intelligent life, the probability of highly intelligent life emitting signals that can be observed by human civilization, and the proportion of the duration of technological civilization in the planetary life cycle."
"I even added a series of disasters such as the Dark Lord, the Life Form of Light, and Qijera, hoping to balance the data, but the result failed."
"Um, what are the Dark Lord and Qijela?" Asuka Kazuma interrupted Masaki Keigo's narration.
Masaki Keigo was stunned for a moment, and then he turned his head to look at Casto, who waved his hand helplessly, "You two have different ways of obtaining light, so Masaki Keigo, you know very little about things in the universe. As a bird and a horse, you are just the opposite."
"What you said makes sense. But the question is, what are you?" Asuka looked Castor up and down, "You are not a hybrid product of the light of the universe and the light of the earth, are you?"
Masaki Keigo was already used to Castor's 'setting' of knowing a little bit about everything. He knocked on the table to signal the remaining two people to pay attention. Then he found a stack of paper from the drawer and continued. He continued, "Before I talk about why we asked you to come back, I need to explain to you the current way humans deal with and deal with other races."
Then, Keigo Masaki told the story seriously. Director Sawai proposed it, Minamihara and Yoshioka were responsible for supplements, Keigo Masaki and Horii were responsible for technical support, and Castor was responsible for witnessing 'when human society faces other intelligent races. treatment plan. '
In fact, Director Sawai just made a start. The real policy cannot be that simple. You must know that it is impossible for every civilization to be as dependent on humans as the Kilielods. It is impossible for every civilization to be as dependent as the Kilielites. The Lodians also have such a long lifespan, and it is impossible for every civilization to be as technologically advanced as the Kyrielodians.
Therefore, the subsequent policy formulation is still only a semi-finished product, but one thing is certain, that is, whether it is Sawai, Yoshioka or Minamihara, in the subsequent policy formulation, they are based on Masaki Keigo's view of human science level. The plan is to plan future human beings according to an interstellar civilization.
Masaki Keigo spoke very quickly, and Asuka Kazuma also listened very carefully. He would interrupt Masaki Keigo's narration from time to time, and then ask his own questions, and Masaki Keigo would also quickly provide additional explanations.
Amidst Castor's purring, the two people in the room had an in-depth exchange of ideas.
Finally, Masaki Keigo's explanation ended. As he hit Castor's head with the pile of information symbolizing the future system of mankind in his hand, Asuka Kazuma also completely understood the reason why the other party called him back. , "You are doing very well on earth, better than the civilizations I have seen in the universe."
"Humph! That's for sure!" Masaki Keigo nodded confidently, and then looked at the other party. He knew that the other party had understood what he meant.
Asuka Kazuma is obviously not an idiot. He sighed, and then said, "You can rely on contact with a few non-human civilizations to analyze that, just like humans, as long as they are intelligent creatures, as long as there are civilizations Intelligent creatures can communicate, have their own positions, and have their own personalities and personalities."
"This is indeed better than me. It was only after I had many contacts with cosmic civilizations that I realized that I just need to treat them as 'people' with different personalities."
"But the question is, if this is the case, then why have other civilizations not developed cosmic empires? What is it that limits the emergence of a large number of cosmic civilizations?"
Asuka Kazuma frowned, "I do know something about this matter, but it is only my understanding. The origin of the matter may be traced back to something similar to the 'Universal Will'."
Having said this, Asuka paused for a moment. He looked at Castor who was rubbing his head and said, "I don't know if my inference is correct, but this is my opinion based on my experience."
"The universe itself does not seem to want too many cosmic civilizations to be born in the universe."
"This universe seems to be consciously balancing the civilizations that exist within the entire universe to a certain extent."
"when!"
Facing Asuka Kazuma's words, Masaki Keigo suddenly stood up from his seat and knocked over the chair, while Castor showed a serious expression for the first time.
