"According to the information we know but are still unsure about, the material universe is divided into eras. In fact, there was another era before the Age of Gods, and that was the Pastoral Age of the Universe, which was the emergence of the first generation of intelligent biological civilization. and rise.”
"Some of these first civilizations must have destroyed themselves, and some were destroyed by cosmic disasters and the torrent of time. But the universe is so big. There are always civilizations climbing up step by step. In the end, god-level civilizations appeared, and the age of the gods It will eventually come.”
Tang Zhe'an said in a tone similar to an aria: "Then came the fall of the gods and the advent of the Golden Age. I remember you mentioned a piece of information, that is, many civilizations in the Golden Age received the legacy of the gods, right? "
"Then can it be considered that in the early and middle stages of the Golden Age, the universe was filled with the relics and legacies of various god-level civilizations, such as the wormholes, space gates and other creations you mentioned? And the Golden Age relied on such creations. To some extent, a large team and a great alliance of intelligent races in the universe have been achieved, so that’s why the golden army rushed into the fear of higher dimensions?”
"Then continue to deduce that the Golden Age has ended. It is not yet known why it ended, but it must have something to do with the fallen gods. Could it be that the legacy of these gods actually carries some kind of 'curse'?
Lu Yuanming said seriously: "Curse? Is it similar to sterilization?"
Tang Zhe'an said helplessly: "It's a metaphor, it's just a metaphor, because who can guess the methods of a god-level civilization? For them, sterilization may be just a matter of randomly modifying one or two physical rules. For example, I can think of one Just modify it to make the information confusing. You should know that, right? The so-called DNA is actually the transmission and inheritance of genetic information. If this kind of transmission and inheritance is confused, wouldn't it lead to such a result? "
"Even if you are more imaginative, do you think that the end of the golden age will be caused by a universal curse imposed by those god-level civilizations? All second-level and above-level cosmic civilizations are not allowed to have children? "
When Lu Yuanming heard this, he was trembling all over, just like when he first came into contact with the existence of the narrative layer.
If the technology is one level higher, it can be directly crushed. If the technology is two levels higher, it will be difficult to even understand its operation. But if the technology is so high, it will be like a god versus an ant, or the same gap between heaven and earth.
If the Golden Age is really cut off because of this, then this is simply an unsolvable curse.
For example, in the three-body science fiction novels he had read before, the characters in them had speculated on what those god-level cosmic civilizations could do, such as light particles and two-way foils. Hunters squatted in the dark forest to snipe at other exposed people. By.
But the true god-level cosmic civilization will not be like this. In their eyes, all non-god-level civilizations are ants. Just modifying a cosmological constant can directly cause the non-god-level cosmic civilization to become extinct... and directly make your race continue to exist. If you can't reproduce, your civilization will be extinct and there will be no future at all.
"……Wait a moment!"
Lu Yuanming suddenly thought of something, and he immediately retorted: "You all think that the second-level cosmic civilization cannot invalidate my treatment, so you conclude that the infertility is caused by other reasons, then let's think this is Curse, or the god-level civilization has modified the cosmological constants and physical laws of the universe, making it impossible to have children once it comes into contact with the second-level cosmic civilization. If you really follow your inference, then this second-level cosmic civilization should be extinct directly, even if They were cursed recently, so they can't continue to build Dyson spheres, right? A civilization has no descendants, and they don't want to do everything possible to find a way to break it, but they spend thousands of years building Dyson spheres... They Is there anything wrong with your brain?"
"Two possibilities."
Tang Zhe'an directly extended his middle finger and said: "First, they have solved the desperate situation of infertility. Second, the method of solving the problem requires a Dyson sphere... In fact, even if we don't infer from these, there is only one problem. It is enough to show that they are bluffing, that is, if they have the ability to completely sterilize us humans, then they will directly modify the hormones and neural structures of all us humans, turning us humans into hormone-controlled gestalts like ants and bees. Biological creatures, doesn’t this directly turn us into slaves? Why go through such a big circle to deter us?
"So the main problem now is actually this. We must first know the information about this second-level cosmic civilization, their social structure, their population, their political system, their technological level, and their military composition. and their civilizational tendencies, etc. Only by obtaining this information can we verify the inferential assumptions we have made.”
Lu Yuanming looked at Tang Zhe'an's extended middle finger. He muttered something about hating people who can't read. Then he looked at everyone present and said, "I know the importance of intelligence. So far, we have done nothing for this civilization." All inferences are based on assumptions, and the specific details must be investigated, but here comes the question... How on earth should we detect a cosmic civilization nine point seven light-years away? If you have any ideas, please share them come out."
This is actually the biggest difficulty.
The star system where human beings are located is too far away from the secondary cosmic civilization. At a distance of 9.7 light-years, even Lu Yuanming's wishing power cannot reach it. Such a distance is naturally insignificant for the universe, but for people just now For humans who have reached the first level of cosmic civilization, it is probably a desperate situation.
However, these scientists do have something. They have already made enough proposals, and now they have spoken out.
"After discussion in our group, we feel that we can use the quantum heroic spirit to achieve this. I heard that the heroic spirit was originally created by the decider with the power of wishing, because its essence is to reshape information with dark matter particles. The size of the heroic spirit can be determined by the decider. It depends on your knowledge, so can the heroic spirit be shaped to the size of a basic particle? Smaller than nanometers? Even to the electronic level? If it is possible, then this is a living sophon."
"Once you reach the size of an electron, you can completely use many special rules at the quantum level to span ultra-long distances, such as quantum wormholes. At the quantum level, countless holes will appear due to the Dirac Sea, which is the fluctuation of vacuum energy. Wormholes that appear and disappear instantly can theoretically travel faster than light through these wormholes, one light-year, ten light-years, hundreds or even thousands, or even reach the other end of the universe. As long as these quantum wormholes can be used, all It can be reached in an instant!”
"Furthermore, quantum-sized heroic spirits don't worry about being discovered and put in danger. This is our team's proposal. We hope that the decision maker can transform the heroic spirits into the size of basic particles and then send them to perform intelligence collection missions."
The leader of a scientific team stood up and said.
"invalid."
Tang Zhe'an was also on the stage. He patted the table and said: "The quantum ghost you proposed can be achieved theoretically, but there is a very critical problem here, that is, the quantum wormhole cannot be located. The fixed goal seven light-years away or the return goal of returning to the home galaxy cannot be achieved according to humankind's current technology. Therefore, even if the heroic spirits are reduced to the size of quantum basic particles, the only result that can be obtained is that all quantum heroic spirits are in one place. They all disappear in an instant, and it is impossible to confirm whether they still exist or whether they do not exist. They have turned into wave functions between existence and non-existence in the quantum realm, so this plan is not feasible."
Compared with Lu Yuanming's ignorance of these scientific knowledge, Tang Zhe'an had no shortcomings at all, so it was Tang Zhe'an who was reviewing the feasibility of these plans.
The leader of the scientific team sat down helplessly, and another person stood up. This person was obviously not a scientist or scholar, but a member of the think tank team. He stood up and said: "Our plan is to establish a balanced deterrence system. The basis is that everything about us humans is already known by this civilization, and they are monitoring us all the time, so we only need to display all memes through all information channels, and that is enough..."
"Shut up!" Lu Yuanming shouted coldly: "Then what? We humans will be declared extinct in a few decades, right? And do you know how terrible memes are? First, show it from all information channels, you mean we humans If everyone commits suicide first, the other party will not be able to kill us? I doubt the purpose of you and your team proposing such a plan... General Wu Zhenhua!"
Wu Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and said loudly: "Here we are!"
Lu Yuanming pointed at the white-skinned person who immediately turned pale and said: "Make a note of this person and everyone in his team, and conduct a detailed investigation. I suspect that he or the people in his team have self-destructive tendencies, and want to A tendency to destroy all mankind!”
After the think tank team was expelled, at least half of the people who planned to use shocking remarks to gain attention immediately stopped and no longer dare to stand up and speak at will.
Next, two more members of the scientific team spoke out their plans. One plan is based on the one-light-year field plan of the Hall of Valor. This is the only super-light speed that humans can control at present, although only heroic spirits can be delivered and recovered. , the content of this plan is to let one or a group of heroic spirits hold the Hall of Valor, and then jump light-year by light-year to nine point seven light-years away, forming this kind of logical level space jump, in order to overcome the super long distance. distance movement.
"It's a bit interesting. To put it simply, the Hall of Valor can project the heroic spirit to a light-year away. Then if a Hall of Valor holds the Hall of Valor, it can be transported light-year after light-year, right? This is talent... If you don’t write f*cking novels, it’s a waste of talent!”
This time, even Tang Zhe'an couldn't help but curse, but Lu Yuanming was not too angry. He explained seriously: "The Hall of Heroes looks like material, but it is actually the embodiment of a certain human concept. It is non-material. Its location is actually fixed at the place with the most humans, and I can only expand its fixed range to a limited extent to the entire moon, so it is impossible for heroic spirits to use the Hall of Valor to make space jumps."
As for the spokesperson of the last scientific group, Lu Yuanming was stunned for a moment when she stood up.
Lin Yan stood up gracefully. Before she could speak, Lu Yuanming looked at Wu Zhenhua strangely and said, "Isn't she from the military? When did she become a representative of scientists again?"
Lin Yan did not wait for Wu Zhenhua to answer, she said directly: "Mr. Lu Yuanming, please respect my main job. Before becoming a staff officer of the military, I was first a student in the physics department, and now I am preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. , it’s no hindrance, right?”
Lu Yuanming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just say it."
Lin Yan immediately said: "Our group's proposal is... why not follow the usual rules to cross time and space?"
"Routine? What routine?" Lu Yuanming asked inexplicably.
Lin Yan pointed to the surroundings and said, "Didn't Mr. Lu Yuanming take the moon and crash directly into the world of dark matter? Then he crossed time and space in an instant and came to this cosmic space, which is probably millions of light years away." Yes, then why not cross the distance of nine point seven light years from the dark matter world again?"
"It can't be done."
Lu Yuanming shook his head directly and said: "I can't easily go from the dark matter world to the material world. I won't hide this from you. So far, I only have two ways to go from the dark matter world to the material world. One is to return to me. Now my body is sleeping in the hospital of the material world. The second way is to return to the material world along the correlation of the condensed body of human civilization, just like before when I took the moon and crashed into the dark matter world, then there is really only this For once, you can consider it some kind of miracle."
Lin Yan was stunned, and she asked without giving up: "Is it really impossible to move quickly through the dark matter world? This may be a more convenient method than wormholes, space gates and other technologies."
"No, it can't be done."
"No... maybe it can be done, maybe."
The person who retorted was Tang Zhe'an. He looked at Lu Yuanming thoughtfully and said: "You mentioned before that the upper limit of civilization in the pastoral era of the universe is god-level civilization, the golden age is galactic civilization, and now it belongs to the Silver Age... Silver What is the upper limit of the era?”
"The upper limit of the Silver Age is star system civilization, which means mastering all the energy of a star, such as making Dyson spheres...ah!"
Lu Yuanming suddenly showed a face full of surprise, and Tang Zhe'an also showed a smile. It was obvious that at this moment, both of them thought of the same thing.
Lu Yuanming said to Lin Yan: "If we can quickly cross nine point seven light years, what method should we use to detect this second-level cosmic civilization?"
Lin Yan smiled. She pointed to the scientists who had spoken before and said, "Actually, if we take your proposals together, not only do we have a reconnaissance plan, but we also have attack methods..."
"Shrink the heroic spirit to close to the quantum realm to achieve the purpose of hiding, and then find a way to move the heroic spirit hall to the range of human civilization in the dark matter world, and project the heroic spirit in the dark matter world in units of one light-year physical distance, and directly invest it into The galaxy where the secondary universe civilization is located, and then let the heroic spirits find a way to broadcast the memes through information channels to the viewers and listeners of this secondary universe civilization..."
"In this way, won't we humans win?"
