Earth Era

Here is a huge void between the discrete disk of the ecliptic and the supposed Oort Cloud. Such an asteroid with a very flat orbit was found here, and through the analysis of material composition, it was concluded that it was most likely formed in the solar system, then further speculation is obvious: it comes from Oort cloud. For some unknown reason, it may be the gravitational disturbance of the inner planet, or it may be due to the collision between objects, which changed its orbit, from the Oort cloud to the inner solar system, and was finally captured by the Xinghai spacecraft Find.

This is again a less problematic corollary, but this corollary combined with the previous one raises an incredible question: "Since it formed in the solar system, since it is not from other corner, then where did the piece on it that clearly came from the hands of technological civilization come from?"

The discovery of this irregular asteroid may directly prove the existence of the Oort cloud, which is undoubtedly a major milestone in the history of astronomy, but at this moment, the existence of this piece of debris has made Wei Feng an astronomical giant The joyful shock of discovery dissipated.

Facing Wei Feng's question, Ye Luo said in a somewhat helpless tone: "Who knows? Maybe it's just that the piece of debris came from the outer solar system. It flew over hundreds of millions of years and an unknown distance of light-years, and then It happened to come to the solar system and was embedded in this asteroid, and then it was discovered by us."

There is an element of "humor" in Ye Luo's character setting. Wei Feng knows that this sentence is actually Ye Luo's ridicule. To convince Wei Feng of this conclusion, it is better to convince Wei Feng that a pebble he casually threw out of the spaceship will just hit a planet in the Andromeda galaxy where a smart civilization happens to exist, and then hit that one. The brains of intelligent creatures in intelligent civilizations are average.

The probability of this kind of thing happening is not impossible. According to the principles of quantum mechanics, even if a person directly passes through a wall, the probability exists, but after calculation, the probability of a molecule in the human body passing through the wall when a person hits a wall is equivalent to The probability of a person winning the lottery jackpot every day for six million years. There are about ten to twenty-seventh power molecules in the human body, and the probability of letting these molecules pass through the wall at the same time is very small.

The odds that a piece of debris that's been flying for hundreds of millions of years happens to hit an asteroid in the open space of the solar system is about as likely as a person walking through a wall -- they're all that small anyway. Small enough to make no sense at all.

But the facts are real. Because Wei Feng did find a piece of debris from an irregular asteroid that was made between 500 million and 600 million years ago. Since this asteroid was formed within the solar system. And there is another such fragment inside it, so further analysis can only draw the conclusion that the place where the fragment appeared is also in the solar system.

500 million to 600 million years ago, a piece of extremely high-tech debris appeared in the solar system.

It doesn't take much complicated language to explain this. But what it means is extremely complex. Clearly, there must be a reason for a piece of debris to appear in the solar system. It can't be here for no reason. Its appearance means the appearance of a civilization - at least the appearance of an alien spacecraft, or an alien probe. And let Wei Feng accept that 500 million to 600 million years ago, the creation of an alien civilization came to the solar system. This is really a bit difficult. This kind of thing is too bizarre.

"What's your conclusion about this, Mr. Captain?" Ye Luo continued to ask.

Wei Feng shook his slightly dizzy head. Then he said: "I will summarize the preconditions that we have already grasped. One, this fragment came from the solar system. Two, it was torn from the inside. The cause of the tear is likely to be an explosion, and three, the trace oxidation reactions detected indicate that The creatures in this spaceship also need oxygen to survive. Fourth, its age is 500 to 600 million years, so what else is there to say?"

Wei Feng made a "why" gesture, and then continued: "Before 500 million to 600 million years ago, an alien civilization that needed oxygen to survive just like our human civilization drove a spacecraft to our solar system, and then There was a war in the solar system, the war caused a ship to explode, and then the debris was embedded in an irregular asteroid, and then we found it ... other than this inference, what else can we say?"

Although this inference is bizarre, it is the most likely conclusion under the current conditions. Apart from this conclusion, Wei Feng really has nothing to say.

"I agree with your speculation." Ye Luo said, "So what should we do next? Just report it to Earth?"

"Let's report it," Wei Feng said. "You just need to tell the Earth exactly what happened, and we don't need to talk about our inferences, so as not to mislead the Earth."

"Okay, I'll send the message now. By the way, Captain, do you need to rest now?"

"No, Ye Luo, I thought of another question." Wei Feng said quietly, "I want to ask you... Do you think we found this fragment by chance or necessity?"

Ye Luo paused a few times, as if thinking about something: "Captain, I don't think your question about chance or necessity makes any sense. What about chance? What about necessity? In fact, we discovered it after all, no ?"

Wei Feng shook his head: "No, I don't think so. I think... I came across an asteroid in the huge hollow area between the ecliptic disc and the Oort cloud, and I found a piece of five to five from it by chance. High-tech fragments from 600 million years ago... Don't you think this is too coincidental?"

"Are you implying that this matter is being manipulated?" Ye Luo said.

"Are you afraid?" Wei Feng said.

"I have to admit that the inference that there is an unknown super civilization secretly manipulating our destiny is really creepy. But Captain, I'm just an intelligent program, and there is no fear in my database." Ye Luo said He asked back, "Are you afraid?"

Wei Feng continued to shake his head: "I'm not afraid. I'm thinking carefully about this coincidence. I think we have three ways to explain this coincidence. What you said is due to the manipulation of super civilization. Let us encounter such a coincidence, which is of course one of the possibilities. The second possibility...that is, this incident was originally a coincidence, no conspiracy, no manipulation, no super alien civilization, only coincidence. "

Ye Luo said, "I don't think your two statements make any sense."

Wei Feng asked back: "Have you ever thought that this incident may not be a coincidence at all, it is not an accidental event, but an inevitable event?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Ye Luo replied.

"For example," Wei Feng said, "Suppose we can observe a hundred asteroids in total when we navigate inside the Oort Cloud - you have no doubts about this, right?"

"I have no doubts." Ye Luo said, "Even in such a dark environment, my four telescopes can detect similar reflections of asteroids at a distance of 500 million kilometers, and now the existence of the Oort cloud is It has basically been confirmed, then, during this voyage, it is not difficult for me to observe a hundred asteroids."

"Let's assume...on average every two hundred asteroids can find evidence of the existence of this super alien civilization, then...we have encountered a total of one hundred asteroids, and from these one hundred asteroids What is the probability of finding a fragment produced by a super-technological civilization on any one?"

Ye Luo quickly replied: "This is a very simple probability question, and the final probability is fifty percent."

Wei Feng said slowly: "There is a 50% probability... Can this be considered a coincidence?"

"Fifty percent of the probability is not accidental, the probability is quite high. Oh, I see what you mean. Captain, you are saying that the existence of alien civilization creations on the asteroids here is a kind of It is a common phenomenon, and it is very likely that there is evidence of this on many asteroids~www.readwn.com~ So it is not an extreme coincidence that the asteroid we encountered this time has such a piece of debris?"

"I'm not sure about this." Wei Feng shook his head and said, "This is also my guess. After all, what we are encountering now is too coincidental, the coincidence is unbelievable. And if this is not accidental , but a high-probability event, then this matter has a reasonable explanation.”

"Then what are you going to do?"

"What I want to do... is very simple." Wei Feng said, "We estimate that it will take 80 to 100 years before we can sail out of the Oort Cloud, and during this time, you can If some evidence of the existence of super alien civilizations is found on asteroids, or similar debris is found directly in space... This basically proves that this is a high probability event."

"But do you know what this means?" Ye Luo said quietly, "Although I have no emotions, I still think this is a very scary thing."

"Of course I know." Wei Feng sighed: "If it is a high probability event... it means that the war that occurred in the solar system 500 to 600 million years ago must have a large scope. Then It must be a huge war." (To be continued.) Open new URL
