You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Entropy, what is it?
This scientific word has been promoted as if it were true in many media outlets and is often used for "popular science" purposes. Nothing in the world can escape "entropy."

But I guess they themselves don’t even know what “entropy” is, they are just following the crowd.

"Entropy" is a physical concept, a physical quantity that represents the degree of disorder in a reaction, which is derived from the second law of thermodynamics.

The second law of thermodynamics is also called the "entropy increase principle", that is, in an isolated system, there is no energy exchange between the system and the environment. The system always spontaneously changes in the direction of increasing chaos, which always increases the "entropy" value of the entire system.

Well, this has brought up a topic that the media loves to talk about, which is that the universe, as an isolated system, must conform to the second law of thermodynamics, so its entropy is always increasing, so the end of the universe is to reach a static state, with no life and no movement.

Because at that time, all energy is converted into heat energy, the temperature of all matter reaches thermal equilibrium, and there is no longer any energy in the universe that can sustain movement or life.

This state is also called heat death!
Therefore, the destination of the universe is death!
The entropy of everything increases, everything will die, even the universe is no exception!
In this case, no matter how advanced the previously existing civilization was, it would eventually die and cease to exist.

From this point of view, it makes sense.

However, no one knows what the universe is like.

Zhao Mo didn’t know either, even though he possessed level 9 wisdom.

He even knew that even if his wisdom reached level 10, he would still not know what the entire universe was like.

Now that we know the location, the next step is to find a way to detect it.

Zhao Mo sent an email to the research team of the Lunar Survey Telescope, confirming their judgment and encouraging them to keep up the good work and produce more and better research results.

A week later, the relevant research results were published in the "Wudaokou Science Daily" written purely in Chinese.

Since 2020, domestic papers have basically all been written in Chinese, without even Chinese and English versions. There was quite a stir at the time, and people were saying some nonsense. But the domestic scientific community did not explain this. Even the Academy of Sciences, when asked about this by reporters, just said "improve efficiency" to get rid of it.

That’s right, improve efficiency.

Isn’t it a waste of time and reduced efficiency to write a paper in both Chinese and English?
So, everything is written in Chinese.

It doesn’t matter if foreigners can’t understand, just learn Chinese. Anyway, they have a lot of science and technology to learn from us.

It would be even better if they don’t learn. We will then become an interstellar civilization and they will stay on Earth.

In fact, they learn it very quickly. Almost all countries have set "Chinese" as the official language and compulsory education language, and there is no choice but to learn it.

As soon as the paper "The existence of ten unnatural star systems at the center of the Milky Way" came out, it caused a sensation both at home and abroad. Over the next five or six years, a large number of people abroad became proficient in Chinese.

"Shock! A legacy project of an advanced civilization was discovered in the center of the Milky Way!"

"The center of the Milky Way is not a black hole, but a magical ten-star system created by an advanced civilization!"

……

Shocking news reports like this are endless.

People who don’t read scientific papers have also understood the general meaning of the paper through these media news reports, after eliminating the shocking hype. We have discovered a suspected masterpiece of an advanced civilization in the center of the Milky Way, a galaxy with ten stars and countless satellites!

The satellites here refer to celestial bodies such as the Moon and Enceladus that orbit planets, not artificial satellites.

If this kind of paper is published by America or any other Western country, basically no one would believe it in this era. Just like America always discovers UFOs, every time a serious report comes out, it is ridiculed by the whole world.

Even though the people who reported the UFO were in places like their Congress or their military, the ridicule was even more severe.

Because every time it was discovered, the image quality was blurry, and it was always discovered by their country, and China had never discovered it.

There is no credibility at all!

But we in China are different. Our science is very rigorous. The statements made by our official scientific research units and institutions are very rigorous, especially on some major issues.

A person's nonsense and irresponsible talk are their own business.

Many people in China, after retiring or leaving their jobs, speak freely in front of the media with the title of "former XXX". What they say is very anti-intellectual and anti-scientific. This is not uncommon, but it happens all the time. However, this does not affect the official authorities because these are all personal opinions.

Titles like “Former XXX” are useless.

People don't take this person's words seriously just because of this title.

Therefore, when people learned that this scientific research result was produced by the Lunar Survey Telescope research team, they basically acknowledged and believed it.

So, alien civilization has been discovered now?

Moreover, this alien civilization is extremely advanced and has reached the level of manipulating stars?
For a while, there was a lot of panic in society, mostly abroad.

In China, it is not so bad. After all, the development in recent years is obvious to all. In addition, it is just a paper, and the official tone has not been finalized, so they just expressed their concerns. How advanced must a civilization be to be able to manipulate stars?

Before we completed the manned moon landing, someone made a distinction between the levels of civilization and said that the level of human civilization was only level 0.7, less than level 1.

How strong is a level 1 civilization?

It can master and control all energy utilization methods on the planet, such as controlling natural phenomena such as weather and earthquakes.

Level 2 civilizations have mastered and controlled the energy utilization within their own galaxy, and can travel across the stars and search for other life forms in the universe. A notable sign is that they can build a "Dyson sphere", an energy-absorbing device similar to a spherical structure around the sun to fully utilize the sun's energy.

You should know that the energy within the solar system is actually the energy of the sun, including the energy possessed by planets such as the Earth and Mars.

Level 3 civilizations master and control the energy utilization of the entire galaxy, utilizing black holes, pulsars, cosmic rays, and so on.

Level 4 civilization has mastered and controlled the energy utilization methods in most areas of the universe, such as dark matter.

The next level 5 civilization controls the entire universe, level 6 transcends the universe, and level 7...

There’s no need to watch the rest, it’s even more fake.

This distinction is obviously problematic and rather false.

Because according to this classification, even though we have successfully landed humans on the moon and developed spacecraft to conduct scientific research within the solar system, we have not yet reached Level 1 civilization, at least we cannot control the energy of earthquakes.

But now, Zhao Mo has discovered and is building a dark matter engine, which theoretically should be a level 4 civilization.

In fact?

We currently have no way of controlling the energy in most areas of the universe, not even within the solar system.

However, no matter which one, the civilization that can manipulate stars is at least two levels higher than us!
First of all, it must have the ability to travel across galaxies, from the Milky Way to other galaxies.

Secondly, it possesses unimaginable scientific and technological and production capabilities.

This world is material, and if you want to control the planets, it is impossible without extremely powerful production capabilities.

With such a huge level gap, once we humans meet each other, will we be invaded and enslaved?

This is everyone's concern.

Based on the novel "The Three-Body Problem", many Chinese people imagine that there are probably advanced civilizations living on those ten stars. Once they discover us, they may send high-tech creations to attack us.
For this matter, Zhao Mo was invited to a small meeting.

We can ignore public opinion, but this matter is too serious, so the authorities still have to ask him, the "first scientist of mankind", to prescribe medicine and give everyone reassurance.

Zhao Mo expressed his judgment, and then stated: "Our work should not be affected by this. After the dark matter engine is developed, we will send an unmanned spacecraft to explore there on the spot~"

"With your words, we feel relieved!"

Someone said with a smile.

Soon, the official level stabilized.

It would be difficult for others to make such a stable judgment, but since this judgment was made by Zhao Mo, it must be stable.

If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up, and Zhao Mo is the tallest one.

Zhao Mo is not in a hurry, so why should they be in a hurry?
Then, the authorities gave an explanation for this paper and the widespread discussion and concerns it caused, saying that it was "highly suspected" but not necessarily true, so they would continue to study it. At the same time, the aerospace department would launch an unmanned spacecraft at the appropriate time to go to the center of the Milky Way to take a look.

Accompanying this explanatory statement was an interview Zhao Mo gave by a CCTV reporter.

The "News Broadcast" reported it this way: "... Regarding this suspected relic of an advanced civilization, our reporter made a special appointment to interview the great scientist Academician Zhao Mo..."

Well, great scientist.

Adding a "big" in front of the word "scientist" means that this is exclusive to Zhao Mo.

When CCTV reporters interviewed other scientists, they only called them scientists. Only in the case of Zhao Mo, they used the title of "great scientist", which is a respect for a "national pillar" and "national treasure" scientist.

It’s because Zhao Mo is young, otherwise he would be “Old Zhao”!

"…The old man said that the fundamental reason for the development of things is not outside of things but inside of things, and lies in the contradictions within things. The same is true for the suspected remains of advanced civilizations. They are only external factors and cannot determine the future of our human civilization. The only ones who can determine the future of our human civilization are us humans ourselves. We have always advocated that man can conquer nature, and this is also the case~"

Zhao Mo explained calmly, and finally said: "Even if we put all this aside, the solar system is 2.6 light years away from the center of the Milky Way. It takes 2.6 years for light to travel from there to here, so the data we detected there is from 2.6 years ago. At that time, we were still eating raw meat and drinking blood~" (End of this chapter)
