Beneath Deep Space

"Prediction? Surprise...continuation?" Yu Yifeng thought quickly, generating a lot of guesses about these keywords.

Just with these few words, he had a feeling... that the other party was playing games with the entire universe.

Yes, the entire universe of games!

"Could it be that the opponent is too powerful and invincible, so in a long period of time, he is sowing some small-probability events in search of a little unpredictable fun?"

As soon as the idea came up, he felt a bit ridiculous.

"But it seems to be real... Is the other party omniscient and omnipotent? Even if it is just close to omnipotence, there must be something unexpected in the long road to have some fun..."

Such speculation made it difficult for him to describe his feelings, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Because he thought of a series of events that humans have experienced...

He was thinking, since there really is such a majestic existence in the universe... Could it be that from the beginning of the appearance of Noah to the series of stories that followed, were they all "games" of a powerful civilization?

Is it some kind of "behind-the-scenes manipulation"?

It is not that this idea has not been discussed, because people have encountered too many adventures.

People seem to have a lot of good luck.

"A civilization that grew up with all kinds of good luck...If we didn't have enough luck, alas, we would have died on the moon..."

The universe is so big, and overall it is quite empty and peaceful. However, everything that people experience seems like a legend, which makes people secretly feel a little suspicious.

Yes, as long as you are a smart person, you will have doubts. Even if life and intelligence are common in the galaxy, it is impossible for every star to give birth to all kinds of weird things, and then happen to be encountered by humans...

Why do humans always encounter such good luck?

"...Even the discovery of this detector must be a kind of good luck. It is so small that it will be missed in one second. As long as the Deep Space's curvature navigation is too high, it will never be found in one second... …”

But……

Although people are very confused, from the current perspective of mankind, everything seems to be accidental phenomena, made up of many coincidences.

"If an extremely powerful existence hides in the dark and controls it, what is its purpose? Can it gain anything?"

Just for fun? Or for something more...

For example, a certain philosophical goal?

The things it involves are too broad.

So extensive that it is unimaginable with human intelligence...

Starting from the explosion of the earth, to the moon, and to the Martian flying saucer behind, this series of events involves the battlefield of the solar system millions of years ago. Could it be that "it" began to control and calculate during the interstellar war millions of years ago?

The green-light people running into the solar system cannot be manipulated secretly...it was their own choice.

The Nix civilization was exterminated by its own death tens of millions of years ago. It should be, not manipulation.

And the series of things that happened on DIG 114 were definitely human beings’ own choices.

Moreover, the Destroyer civilization behind it sincerely wants to wipe out human civilization...it takes all the effort to escape, all thanks to human efforts.

Therefore, from the perspective of these things that can change at any time, the probability of there being a "mastermind behind the scenes" is extremely low... most likely it is people's own conjectures.

Of course, extremely low does not mean it is impossible...

If there really are unimaginable great beings... is there any point in playing with ant-like humans?

"Humanity is just an ordinary civilization in the vast galaxy, nothing special."

Yu Yifeng sighed deeply.

Human beings are indeed nothing special. They are not a great species in themselves and are controlled by their own desires. And people's brains are not very bright, and they always make mistakes. Moreover, human nature is inherently cowardly and likes to attribute unpredictable things to fate...

"The various remarks about fate may just be due to insufficient science and technology... No one knows whether Laplace's demon exists..."

However, now is not the time to discuss various conspiracy theories, we must first deal with the ball of light in front of us.

Everyone discussed for a while and carefully replied: "We really don't need this kind of wisdom inheritance. But what do you mean...how to let 'surprise' continue?"

Everything started with the detector of Tucker Civilization, so let’s return to the detector again...

After hearing this question, this voice sounded in people's minds again: "You can find a suitable planet and throw it away at will; you can also launch the entire detector randomly and let it find it on its own, hoping that it can encounter the dark planet. The real master...the choice is in your own hands."

After hearing this, people discussed again for a while. A scientist asked his doubts: "We think the first method seems more reasonable. But why did you choose the second method in the first place? Why not find a final destination for this inheritance of wisdom and the tombstone of civilization?" "

He continued: "... there should be many low-level civilizations that have not yet developed natural technology. They can definitely be found within a few hundred light years nearby. Why launch it at will? It may crash on a lifeless planet and be lost. Lost the original meaning..."

This being smiled and replied: "It's great to be young... There are always so many surprises and unknowns. For this question, I can only give a simple answer. You have to discover the specific truth by yourself. Only in this way can you have more fun."

"Because we don't know whether the inheritance of this knowledge will have a negative impact on low-level civilizations."

"Perhaps, their original potential could have broken through the first screening and become an interstellar civilization. But after obtaining this alien knowledge inheritance, although they can quickly move forward a few steps, they will eventually stop at a certain stage in advance and will never be able to step onto the stage of the starry sky."

"This inheritance has a huge impact on civilization. We don't know whether it is good or bad..."

"We didn't want to do bad things with good intentions."

Hearing this reason, Yu Yifeng was immediately surprised.

For its statement, if humans are still at the level of low-level civilization, they may not understand it at all. But now, after experiencing so much, people can already understand it vaguely, but the understanding is not profound.

If a civilization is in the process of natural development, if there is a strong external force interference, it is difficult to predict whether it will develop well or not in the future.

For example, the indigenous lizard civilization of Nix was once forced to grow by humans, resulting in a large number of gods worship psychology. People don’t know how it will evolve in the end.

People just vaguely feel that the probability of them breaking through interstellar civilization is not high.

But if there is no reminder from the light ball, humans have never thought about this issue at all.

In the long silence, many scientists are thinking hard.

From the perspective of humans at the moment before, such knowledge inheritance, obtained by a lower-level civilization, must be a great thing, which can greatly promote the development of science and technology.

As a result, this light ball actually thinks that it may not be a good thing and does not want to do it...

From this point alone, the huge intellectual gap between the two civilizations has been reflected.

Standing at different heights, the problems are also viewed differently. Perhaps in the eyes of the Seeder civilization, this knowledge inheritance is like the absurd remarks such as "geocentrism" and "the sky is round and the earth is square", which makes it unwilling to bring some wrong things to other civilizations, even if they are low-level civilizations.

Could it be that the Atlan civilization also thinks so?

Yu Yifeng felt that these two civilizations have a kind of "fraternity" for the whole world.

Perhaps this kind of fraternity has gone beyond the thinking principles of ordinary interstellar civilizations and is a sublimation on a philosophical scale.

He thought about it and tentatively wrote his answer: "You mean, because of the huge butterfly effect in the long flow of time, the optimal solution currently seen is only partial, and it is likely to bring greater adverse effects in the future."

"...The inheritance of this knowledge may promote the development of science for a while, but it may also cause huge stereotypes in the future and hinder the development of science and technology. It may even be regarded as a scientific classic by low-level civilizations, and wrong things will be regarded as truth..."

"In this way, their science can develop for a while, but from now on, it will be difficult to make progress."

"Yes, the truth is closer, but it is not all..."

This existence said with admiration: "It seems that your cosmic sociology has developed to a certain level. Shortening the development time of a civilization does not make much sense. If they can Discover these things. Time is the least valuable thing in the universe..."

Yu Yifeng asked again: "But, if this probe falls on a planet without life, or falls into a star, wouldn't it cut off the inheritance of wisdom?"

"Yes, we were very sorry at the time, so we launched the probe again. It will not fall into any planet within the scale we can calculate... If it is really destroyed by a star, it is also its final destination. Nothing in the universe is eternal."

"As for what happened later... didn't I meet you?"

The light ball said with a smile, "The choice is already in your hands."

Yu Yifeng thought about it, and discussed with everyone for a while, and decided to follow suit, re-launching the probe, and delivering its final destination to the infinite "unknown". Perhaps it will be passed on to the fourth civilization in the dark?

Then, Dr. Rambo stood up and asked: "According to your opinion, the current optimal solution is not the global optimal solution, but how to find the global optimal solution of civilization? This seems to be a very difficult problem." "The strategies we usually adopt are just greedy algorithms. We have no way to predict the future. It is already very good to find the local optimal solution in a time period." "Your question is very good, but we don't know the optimal solution in the true sense. Our wisdom is still limited, and the future we can see cannot be infinite. We just find relatively correct ones." This existence was silent for a while, and said in a detached tone: "The development of a civilization is too complex. It is too difficult to choose the global optimal solution in each decision... Every choice involves the evolution of thousands of years later." "For this problem, we are also seeking the final answer. Maybe we can find it, maybe we can find it, maybe we are just part of the search..."

At this point, the tone of the light ball became more vicissitudes: "There are too many mysteries in the deep space. Our wisdom is always limited. We have walked through the confusion and turned too many unknowns into the known. But this kind of unknown has never decreased, but has become more and more... And the deduction of civilization is almost the most difficult thing. "

"If you reach a high enough level, you may realize this... The right and wrong of the past were difficult to sort out at the time, and they will only become clear later."

The crowd in the conference room unexpectedly became quiet.

Such a great being still thinks that he is a humble and insignificant human being who has only passed the first screening. What qualifications do he have to be arrogant?

During this short period of getting along, a sensitive scientist discovered that the size of this light ball seemed to have shrunk by 3.2%!

"In other words, the time it can talk to us is likely to be limited!"

Yu Yifeng's heart moved. When its energy is exhausted, the two parties may not be able to communicate, so they must hurry up!
