The black tech madman who saves the world

Chapter 298 Alien Conjecture
"Alien life must exist. The earth is too small and the universe is too big. How can we be alone?" Chen Mengchuan said to Crooks, Thomson and Langmuir with a smile.

A group of people were resting on the sofa in the small reception room, and the news that the Year Star Edge [-] had arrived in Europa had already spread.

Scientists at the level of Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking believe that the observable universe is so large that it is not advisable to say that life does not exist anywhere other than the earth.There is much disputed evidence that extraterrestrial life exists.

Crooks and the others are also more inclined to the existence of extraterrestrial life.

"In my opinion, extraterrestrial life may have been produced independently in many places in the universe, or life may have been produced in one place and then spread to other habitable planets."

"These two hypotheses are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but from the perspective of scale and probability, the earth, as located in the habitable zone, has all the conditions to maintain the survival and evolution of species, and in fact from the history of the earth From the beginning of the Phanerozoic to the present, in the period of more than 5 million years and millions of biological species, only one species has successfully evolved into advanced intelligent life, and that is us humans, not a variety of advanced intelligence The coexistence of organisms on the earth shows that under the same conditions, it is not so easy for advanced intelligent life to appear and exist." Chen Mengchuan expressed his point of view.

The alien civilization he saw in the dream made Chen Mengchuan very clear.

"Haha, Boss Chen, how do you explain the Fermi Paradox?" Crooks asked him with a smile.

After Chen Mengchuan was silent for a while, he slowly opened his mouth: "I think alien civilizations exist, but under different levels of civilizations, plus the spatial scale of the universe..."

The time distance between civilizations is too far to be easily contacted.The closest star to the solar system, Proxima Centauri, is also 4.22 light-years away, which means that even if there are intelligent life in this galaxy that is equally willing and capable of discovering and searching for us, it will take quite a long time for them to reach the earth, and this time, It is likely to have outgrown the lifespan of the species itself.

On the other hand, the time since humans rushed out of the earth is only a few decades ago. Compared with the billions of years since the birth of the earth, the proportion is very short, even less than one billionth, which can be observed by extraterrestrial life The probability is very low, and this requires a premise, that is, the other party also needs to have continuous observation capabilities, otherwise the probability of being accidentally observed will be squared again.

The probability of the other party observing and giving a signal that can be accepted by our side is lower; again, the signal transmitted by the two parties must be large enough so that it will not be submerged in the interstellar space calculated by light years and have traces to follow.

Dozens of Tianzhi Technology has now initially mastered the space shuttle technology, but it is still far away from the speed of light.Even if Tianzhi Technology has reached the speed of light at the technical level, it will take several years of uninterrupted flight to go to the nearest star system.

Several people exchanged and discussed the topic of alien civilization. Why do people think that alien life exists, but humans fail to discover it?
After what Chen Mengchuan said started from the magnitude of the reasons, Thomson and Langmuir extended many viewpoints.

Thomson believes that it may be difficult for life to expand from one part of the galaxy to another, so it has not yet reached the earth.

Langmuir is more pragmatic. He said that he brought up a very objective situation, that is, the time for humans to really search for aliens is too short, in the final analysis, it is less than a hundred years.

"Maybe the alien civilization has already discovered human beings, but the signal sent back has not yet reached the earth. After all, the transmission of the signal needs enough time."

"The people on earth didn't realize that the signal sent back was a product of an alien civilization. Or the signal sent by the people on earth accidentally destroyed the alien civilization. In short, everything is possible, isn't it? BOSS Chen." Crooks said laughingly.

Chen Mengchuan smiled, his expression seemed relatively calm.

"Boss Chen, don't you want to sum it up for us?" Thomson added some black tea to Chen Mengchuan's cup.

"Summary? Haha, thank you, Thomson." Chen Mengchuan took the teacup and thanked him.

"Actually, apart from the quantitative reasons, I think there are three more possibilities."

"One is due to technological reasons. The technology of many civilizations may never be able to effectively transcend galaxies. Even if they have certain technologies, this technology is still not enough to achieve beyond galaxies, and to explore life is a very unimaginable task. It is a huge problem. From the perspective of our human civilization, it may be that the method of human beings looking for alien life is not correct, so we have not seen it yet.”

"The time for civilizations to broadcast radio signals is very short, especially because most technological civilizations exist for a short time and cannot leave the parent galaxy, resulting in the density of technological civilizations and the radio broadcast density of these civilizations. Too low, the signal is too weak to It is difficult to detect or some broadcast signals that used to exist in the solar system before humans began to detect signals no longer exist in the solar system because of the short broadcast time. That is to say, we are constantly missing”

"Or the technical singularity point, technical civilization generally passes through the technological singularity point. After that, it is impossible or meaningless to interact with humans who have not passed the singularity point. For example, will we try to communicate with floats? ? Obviously it's difficult because it's not on the same level anymore."

"There is also a technical reason, that is, maybe alien technological phenomena are too similar to natural phenomena to be distinguishable, so we have not been able to decipher them."

After Chen Mengchuan said this, he paused and took a sip of black tea.

"Then what do you think of the Dark Forest Hypothesis? Boss Chen. Could it be that there are limited resources in the universe for civilization to survive, and it is difficult for different civilizations to communicate effectively due to distance restrictions to express goodwill, so more developed civilizations tend to In order to destroy underdeveloped civilizations that may compete with themselves for resources, underdeveloped civilizations tend to hide their existence to avoid attacks. Based on this, are some of the weak signals sent by us humans deliberately ignored?" Thomson asked over him.

After he finished his question, Langmuir also added: "Yes, the dark forest hypothesis, and the zoo hypothesis, maybe the alien civilization has far surpassed the human civilization. In order to observe the natural behavior of human beings, we deliberately do not Contact. That's also possible."

"Ha, maybe the extraterrestrial life is not interested in answering me, just like receiving a wrong call from someone when you are emotionally upset."

Chen Mengchuan nodded: "What you said is all possible, or maybe they have already come into contact with humans, but they exist in a higher dimension that humans cannot detect, or they deliberately hide the evidence of contact. Of course it is also possible It is because aliens only contact suitable human beings, and although they have no intention of concealing evidence, they are not willing to make it public, and to sum it up, it is just one sentence, everything is possible."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere on the scene was very good.

Under Chen Mengchuan's smile, there was some faint worry hidden.With a slightly wobbly gaze, he took out a cigarette from the box on the table, lit it and took a deep breath.

Could the alien civilization in the dream be a disaster caused by humans sending out various radio waves and signals to outer space in an attempt to find aliens in the early years?

The coldness and cruelty of alien civilizations may just be the truest portrayal of natural selection, and the announcement of human self-destruction finally reaped a destruction.

Human civilization at that time had made the greatest resistance, but these resistances were meaningless. The killings spread all over the earth almost instantly, and the human beings on the entire earth were constantly being wiped out. In just 9 hours , the human race is completely emptied.

Chen Mengchuan exhaled the smoke from his mouth, and his eyes gradually became determined.
