After ten years of sharpening the sword, one sword shocked the sky!

Chapter 200 [Conjecture on the social landscape of the universe, fallen civilization? 】

In the 420th year of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty successfully produced a superluminal curvature engine in the laboratory.

Later, after more than ten years of research and improvement, it finally came up with a mature curvature engine that can reach an average speed of fifteen times the speed of light and a maximum of twenty times the speed of light.

After that, if the speed of the curvature engine is to be faster, it will take a long time to accumulate knowledge of space-time and material science in order to make progress.

So after that, the curvature engines were installed on a large scale in all the long-distance fleets, and in the 450th year of the Great Xia, a batch of small-sized detectors twenty times the speed of light were manufactured, which centered on the solar system and directed towards the surrounding The sky zone spread out.

It is now 800 years of Bactria, and 350 years have passed since this batch of probes left the solar system.

In 350 years, this probe, which moves at [-] times the speed of light, can theoretically reach the starry sky seven thousand light-years away.

However, there are still missions to detect galaxies along the way to be carried out, and fuel needs to be replenished and repaired. Therefore, the farthest probe at this moment has only traveled 5200 light-years away.

And here, for the first time, traces of the existence of alien civilizations were discovered.
-
People have been looking forward to alien civilizations for many years.

As early as when they first learned to look up at the starry sky, many people fantasized about whether there would be intelligent creatures like themselves on the stars as many as the sands of the Ganges in this vast universe, and whether they would have established a prosperous civilization like themselves.

Through mathematical calculations, people can be sure that there must be other alien civilizations in the universe.

No matter how harsh the conditions for the birth of life are, even if the probability of the birth of civilization is one in a trillion or even lower, among the many stars in the boundless galaxy, an alien civilization as intelligent as human civilization will definitely be born.

But as time goes by, people know more and more about the starry sky, but no trace of alien civilization has been found, and the entire universe is terrifyingly empty.

According to mathematical calculations, there are not only alien civilizations, but many, but none of them have been seen in the actual universe.

This allows people to have more opinions on whether alien civilizations exist.

Aliens have not been discovered for so many years, and the first guess that is generally accepted is the primogeniture theory.

That is to say, human civilization is the first batch of life in the universe, the first batch of life that gave birth to civilization, and the first batch of life that left the parent star and began to walk towards the starry sky.

Since human beings are the fastest to go, it is normal not to see other alien civilizations. Maybe the alien life somewhere in the starry sky is still a single-celled life form at this time.

The second guess is the dark forest.

The universe is a dark forest, and civilizations are hunters with guns. In order to ensure their own safety, all civilizations hide their existence and wipe out any civilizations that dare to expose them. Therefore, the entire universe has remained quiet after countless years have passed. state.

A third guess is filter theory.

The evolution of life and the growth of civilization have their limits. Maybe they got stuck at a certain juncture. Since then, everyone has disappeared, and they have passed away before they have time to make their own voice in the universe.

Restricted and filtered by a variety of reasons, this has led to the scarcity of civilizations in the universe, and even fewer advanced civilizations that can be easily observed by people.

The fourth guess is the virtual world theory.

That is to say, everyone is living in a fictional world. If the current game version does not generate alien civilizations, then naturally there will be no alien civilizations.

In today's Great Xia Dynasty, the mainstream agrees with the filter theory and the eldest son theory.

The virtual world theory cannot be verified or falsified, so it can be ignored directly.

The dark forest theory has already been falsified.

The premise that this theory can be established is that it is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light and communicate in real time to resolve misunderstandings, so there will be a chain of suspicion, and the number of civilizations is large, so the competition for survival resources is very tense.

But now, Great Xia Xianchao has proved that it can move faster than the speed of light, can communicate in real time from light years away, and the universe is also terrifyingly empty.

Not to mention alien civilizations similar to the Great Xia Xian Dynasty civilization, even single-celled primitive alien life has not been found in the star area thousands of light years away.

In this case, on the contrary, the eldest son theory and filter theory can better explain the current picture of cosmic civilization.

But now, the sudden appearance of traces of alien civilization can finally confirm people's speculations and discussions about alien civilization.
-
In the heavenly court, Lin Lin, who was lying on a concubine's soft lap and eating the fruit fed into his mouth, suddenly sat up.

After having the best spirit crystal as a cultivation resource, Lin Lin could stay there casually without affecting his cultivation progress.

So he ended his solitary life, accompanied his family every day, and gradually became what a heavenly emperor should be, surrounded by immortals and many concubines, enjoying the glory and wealth.

From time to time, he held a banquet in the heavenly court, heard everyone calling him handsome, and then at the end of the banquet, he took out a lot of spiritual stones and medicines to reward the officials.

As a result, many high-level officials in the Great Xia gained a new source of income to play with the Emperor of Heaven.

Make money, not shabby.

Years of gentle rural life made Lin Lin's cold temperament cultivated by living in isolation for many years, and he seemed a little lazy.

But at this moment, his expression became extremely serious. His consciousness was connected to the signal sent by the Daxia Academy of Arts, and he saw the detector 5200 light-years away transmitted back in real time through the concentric knot. screen.

This is an unremarkable star system. The star at the center of the galaxy is about 1.1 times the mass of the sun, and there are twelve planets orbiting this star.

Everything in the starry sky maintains an original ecological appearance.

And the closer to the interior of the galaxy, the obvious traces of natural science creations begin to appear.

Around the fourth planet in this galaxy, the existence of many space cities can already be clearly seen, indicating that the development level of this civilization is not low.

"This civilization is about five times the level of a planetary civilization."

Lin Lin opened his mouth to comment.

When the images of the concentric knots were synchronized, he could clearly see the brilliance of this civilization in his field of vision, and thus estimated the general level of the entire civilization.

In the network of the virtual world, many scholars of Daxia Academy of Arts heard Lin Lin's comments, and they were slightly relieved.

"Your Majesty's eyes, thanks to my nervousness at the beginning, I thought this was a civilization pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, showing a very weak appearance. When you sent people to study them, a bunch of powerful people suddenly jumped out. Combat power."

Qian Zheng, the dean of the Academy of Astronomy, said with a smile.

A civilization that can use the energy generated naturally by the entire planetary system is defined as a level 1 civilization, that is, a standard planetary level civilization.

And when a civilization reaches [-] times the planetary level civilization, it can use all the energy equivalent to the energy produced by the entire star per second, and it can be regarded as a star level civilization.

Of course, this is based on the relatively small stars in the universe as the calculation standard. If the sun is used as the star criterion, then it needs to reach 22 times a planetary-level civilization before it can be counted as a star-level civilization.

According to this definition, the alien civilization in front of us, which is 5200 light-years away, is a civilization with five times the planetary level.

The current Great Xia Xian Dynasty is a civilization of [-] million times the level of stars, barely reaching the level of one-thousandth of the civilization of the river system, and the two sides are not on the same level at all.

"This civilization shouldn't be so weak. If they fully develop their technology, they should be able to reach the level of a star-level civilization, controllable nuclear fusion, a planetary-level collider, and small-scale antimatter production. Omnics, they are very proficient in the application of these technologies."

"If it develops with all its strength, it should also be able to build many interstellar fleets, with the ability to travel to the stars."

A physicist who newly joined the observation channel spoke up and expressed his doubts.

As the probe moved closer to the alien civilization, more details emerged.

Although the styles of the various creations of this civilization are completely different from those of the Great Xia Dynasty, both sides live in the Milky Way and follow the same natural laws, and the underlying laws of natural science and technology creations are naturally the same.

Under such circumstances, some scholars can easily judge the true strength of this civilization through these technical details.

"This should be a fallen civilization."

A scholar who likes to study social science in his spare time put forward his own opinion.

Seeing many colleagues around, including His Majesty the Emperor, all looked at him.

The scholar named Lin Cheng was immediately encouraged, and he said with a smile on his face: "Actually, I am a supporter of the big filter theory. Regarding the speculation about alien civilization, there is such a kind of degenerate civilization. After a certain height, there will be no progress.”

After he explained it so simply, the rest of the scholars around him understood it.

They are also well-informed people, and they still know what the big filter theory is, but they haven't thought about it before.

In the Great Filter Theory, there is an assumption of a fallen civilization.

When a civilization develops to the stage of controllable nuclear fusion and intelligent industry, the technology related to the virtual world will also mature, and people can realize all their ideas and satisfy all their desires in the virtual world.

At this time, it is easy for civilization to collectively lose its aggressiveness, and then hide in the virtual world to have fun, no longer caring about everything outside.

If you can live comfortably at home, why go on a long voyage in the distant and lonely starry sky?

The Great Xia Xian Dynasty also went through such a stage. Some people wanted to be addicted to the virtual world and never come out again. Unfortunately, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven set up an anti-addiction system for them.

And even if there is no anti-addiction system, if you want to surf the Internet, you have to have money to pay the Internet fee, which forces people to stay in the real world.

Especially later, after all the people can practice, the big guys find that the real world is still interesting.

No matter how powerful you are in the virtual world, it is still fake.

But if you are powerful in the real world, that is really powerful.

Lin Cheng used his authority to project some pictures taken by the Yuanhang probe, and continued: "From many pictures, it can be seen that this civilization does not have any natural creatures active outside, and everything depends on the presence of omnics." operation and maintenance."

"Have the technical potential to develop into a star-level civilization, but maintain an extremely low civilization volume, because they are all in the virtual world, indifferent to everything in the material world, consume very little energy, and naturally have no future. It is necessary to expand yourself into a star-level civilization."

If a civilization is compared to a person, when this person is running around the world in order to survive and improve, he naturally consumes a lot of energy and needs to eat a lot of food.

But when this person starts to look bad and just wants to lie down all day, then his energy consumption will naturally become very low, and he will only eat once in a long time.

The alien civilization discovered now is undoubtedly the latter.
-
Everyone expressed their views on this alien civilization, and more and more people began to log in to this virtual network belonging to the Great Xia Academy of Arts.

These people are all people with high authority in the Great Xia Dynasty, so they can come here.

People have a feeling of witnessing history.

As the probe got closer and closer to this alien civilization, all the signs displayed showed that what Lin Cheng said was correct. Everyone saw a lot of virtual world equipment, and saw the densely packed metal buildings built on that planet. There are computing units.

In reality, you can't see any living beings that are moving.

This is an alien civilization whose people have entered the virtual world, a fallen civilization.

"Your Majesty, they have been submitting communication requests, do you want to get through?"

Qian Zheng, the dean of the Academy of Astronomy, asked Lin Lin. This is a big issue related to how the two civilizations get along. Only Lin Lin can make a decision on this kind of matter.

The detectors of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty did not hide their figure, otherwise it would be difficult to detect with the opponent's technical level.

After all, destiny is in the cone of light. With the movement speed of the Great Xia Xianchao detector twenty times the speed of light, even if this civilization without superluminal detection means wants to discover the movement trajectory of the detector, it will be at least 20 years later.

After discovering the sudden appearance of the probe, the alien civilization was paralyzed.

Obviously, I have been observing the starry sky for many years, and there are no other civilizations in the nearby sky area. How did this detector appear?
He wanted to attack directly, but he was afraid of kicking the iron plate.

After thinking about it, they finally decided to communicate first, and then decide how to act next.

"Go on."

Lin Lin said that it was they who were actively looking for alien civilizations, so they must communicate.

As the communication was connected, a piece of dictionary information was first sent through the electromagnetic wave signal.

This is a kind of text compiled according to the laws of mathematics. As long as it is a civilization with wisdom, it is easy to understand and learn such a text through its own mathematical attainments.

In fact, in order to communicate with alien civilizations, Daxia has also prepared a similar set of things.

It seems that the other side also had a history of frantically looking for alien civilizations and preparing to communicate with them.

Lin Lin's thoughts turned slightly, and he learned this set of characters, and then the communication officially started.
