Chapter 131. Colonialism in the multiverse
"Quite simply, for trade and colonization. Jiang Hua said lightly. There was a slight hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Don't put on that surprised face, it's true. In fact, not only us, but also the United States is also studying this item. Maybe it's a bit too much to call it colonization, and the name isn't very nice, but let's put it another way, and we have intimate contact with another civilization. β
Jiang Hua pushed the finished noodle bowl aside, stretched out her hand, and a water cup on the table next to her flew straight towards her. The hot water in the teapot was smoothly poured into the cup under the pull of her gravity. Jiang Hua took a sip of hot water, looked at Zhang Tong's expression of surprise and said.
"Doesn't that seem strange?"
"yes, that's weird. Why do you want to get in touch with the civilization that has traveled through the world?" Zhang Tong vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't explain it accurately.
"Actually, whether there are aliens in this world, whether there are extraterrestrial civilizations, this is something that has been debated in the scientific community. Is it lonely for human beings to live in the universe? Without other civilizations, whether our existence is singular or not are all questions that scientists are studying. Jiang Hua coughed, cleared his throat and said.
"Exploring aliens has always been something the scientific community is doing, and humans have done a lot of stupid things. Remember the act of carving drawings of human genomes and human body structures with the coordinates of satellites of the Earth on metal plates and sending them into space as satellites? Scientists at the time thought, if we can't find aliens, I'll let them find us. β
"It's probably one of the dumbest things the human science community has ever done. Because when he couldn't tell whether the alien was friendly or malicious, he told the alien creatures everything about himself. If aliens have malicious intentions and they have the ability to capture such a satellite and travel in space to Earth. Then humanity will be powerless in front of them. β
"When the first returnee appeared, many scientists believed that the other world they had traveled to might have reached another planet for some reason. They are actually coming into contact with humanoid aliens. β
Of course, there is some controversy about this, and some people believe that they are crossing another earth in the Multiverse. The multiverse hypothesis has persisted, as the emergence of returnees proves that there are many other different civilizations in this world. There are more than 1.3 million returnees in China. Some returnees travel to the same world, while most returnees travel to different worlds. There are a total of 1,013,500 different worlds according to official statistics. β
"If they had traveled to different planets, it would prove that there are at least a million more planets that are habitable for humans. Some of these planets have highly developed civilizations that can produce warships for interstellar travel. It is already possible to travel at the stellar level. Earth's civilization is now only able to travel within the star system. No, the Earth is already looking up to Earth for intrastellar travel, after all, it takes years to get from Earth to Mars. β
"In some worlds, those strong people have the ability to move mountains and seas, and those powerful Venerables can completely destroy stars like the moon with a single punch. β
"If there are more than a million such civilizations in this universe. So how lively this universe should be, the earth should have been discovered by those aliens a long time ago. But the reality is that no. The universe in which the earth is located is empty and lonely, as if we are playing alone, and we can't find other friends at all. β
So the multiverse hypothesis is once again on the rise. Some scientists believe that those time-travelers are crossing another Earth in a multiverse in a different dimension, because the cosmic laws of each universe are different. In our dimension 1+1=2, and in some dimensions, maybe 1+1=3. Therefore, those earths that were born in other dimensions, they gave rise to their own different civilizations. β
"There has been a constant debate between the alien theorists and the multiverses of the Returnees. Most of the real scientists are naΓ―ve and stubborn like children, arguing to the death on these issues, and not giving in to each other. They are like the most solid defenders of the faith, defending their truth even to the death. β
Zhang Tong scratched his chin: "This is the reason why they want to study the laws of the traverser returning to their hometown, and then find the way to cross?"
Jiang Hua nodded: "This is true for those scientists. They just want to prove their theories right. But that's not necessarily the case with the money behind them. They have other purposes and needs. After all, the power of capital has always been profit-seeking. β
Zhang Tong sighed: "This is what you call colonization?"
"Yes. Whether it is China, the United States, or other countries in the world that have the ability to study this project, they actually have this purpose, that is, colonization. Or rather, to trade. Judging from the various messages brought by the returnees, there are many things we need in the world they have traversed, and there are many things in our world that they need. If you can exchange what you have, then it will be a win-win situation. At least in our country, there are many people who advocate dovis and peaceful trade. What the central bigwigs hope is to find a way to trade between the multiverses. Then learn from each other for development. Learn from their technical skills to strengthen us. β
"But as far as I know, the capitalists in Europe and the United States are more inclined to the colonial practices of the hawks. This is because the world that some returnees go to is not a very developed world. Some people travel through the high-tech world of the high-martial world, the fantasy world, and the high-tech world, while some people travel to the ancient Chinese world similar to ours. Or travel to a low-martial arts world similar to Jin Yong's ancient dragon. In that kind of world, they are powerless for us. Even if the eighteen palms of the dragon descending can be practiced as powerful as in the TVB TV series, one palm can hit 18 golden dragons, and they explode with the firelight everywhere. Even so, can Qiao Feng be able to withstand an intercontinental missile?"
Jiang Hua himself answered the question he asked: "Obviously not. β
"But those worlds have resources and environments that are very close to the earth, they have iron ore, copper ore, coal, and possibly oil. You know, in our world, because of the overpopulation, the land resources, and other natural resources have actually been consumed to a shocking point. The accumulation of billions of years on the earth is not enough for the consumption of nearly 100 years of human industrial civilization. β
"The development of new energy sources to replace existing energy consumption is a revolution for capitalism, but a revolution requires a lot of capital. Capital itself is by nature profit-seeking. If they can find a replacement without over-consuming themselves, then it is naturally good, if not, then capital will set off its own resistance. Nothing to do with anyone, or anything to do with anyone. Capital is willing to die and take everyone to hell and will not make the right decision. Because all people are slaves of capital. β
And the appearance of returnees seems to open another door to these capitals. If I could find another Earth......"
Jiang Hua said this, the worry in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "This is why European and American countries have been trying to find ways to abduct returnees from China, in addition to finding ways to get useful information from them, the most important thing is to study the laws of crossing from them, and then choose a suitable world to open the door to a new world." β
"And that's what they want to do. Embark on a new era of colonization that spans the multiverse!"
