The United States has got the artificial intelligence it wants, and the dispute with the island nation has subsided and returned to normal.

The turmoil in the world is receding.

The island nation is still fighting Russia in the air, but not as fiercely as it began, and the United States is moving much less and seems to be preparing for the next election.

All three countries have artificial intelligence, and they all feel the terrible nature of artificial intelligence, and they do not publicize it to the outside world, and they want to keep a low profile as much as possible.

The island nation and the United States still maintain the same relations, and in order to confront Russia, a military exercise was specially held. It seems that the contradiction of some time ago has never happened.

Only the parties know that the two parties have long been at odds.

Now the incident has slowly subsided, and the world has returned to calm again.

Flying Ant Space Center.

The Goddess is ready.

In the past two months of training, Xiaoyu and Zhao Min's aerospace training has been completed, and they have suffered a lot.

Today is the day of space travel.

At this time, Xiao Yu and Zhao Min were already wearing space suits, their bodies were covered, and only one head was exposed.

"Drink this."

Chen Mo took the two test tubes of blue liquid from Mo Nu's hands and handed them to Zhao Min and Xiao Yu.

"What is this?"

The two of them looked at the liquid in Chen Mo's hand strangely, like some kind of oral liquid, and there was nothing special about it.

"A drug to prevent radiation, to prevent genetic mutations that may occur in the human body due to space radiation." Chen Mo explained.

After all, there is radiation in space, and long-term activities in space will cause genetic mutations, which is not good for the human body. In order to reduce this problem, Chen Mo found this anti-radiation agent from the Science and Technology Library.

The potion will be effective for one week, after which it will be produced by Starfish for use by astronauts and workers in high-radiation positions.

Zhao Min and Xiaoyu didn't think much about it, took the potion and drank it.

This is the first time Xiao Yu and Zhao Min have been in space, and they are somewhat nervous, but fortunately, Chen Mo is by his side, so they have some sense of security.

"Let's go."

Chen Mo took the two of them and walked towards the Goddess. Under the attention of the ground personnel, a strong wind blew over the airport, and the Goddess slowly floated into the air and disappeared into the distant sky.

In the distant and unknown depths of the universe, a bright spot shuttles from far to near, flying fast.

The spaceship slowly approached, revealing its true form.

Hideous spaceships, with edges and corners on the surface, covered with all kinds of weapons.

In the cabin of the spaceship, there are sleeping pink creatures, about three meters tall, with lizard-like heads, eyes closed, synthetic finger-length slits, bulging protrusions, no ears, and finger-long antennae on the top of their heads.

In the transparent dormant chamber, the pink body of the unknown creature can be seen, the skin is as soft as an octopus, covered with peculiar lines, the legs are hideous scales, and there is a blood-red tail behind it, about two meters long, covered with various spikes.

Inside the cabin, a strange and sharp voice suddenly sounded, and the translation was.

"Chiwei Ephemeris, 42:64:89 on July 21, 204756, the Fugitive 20981 spacecraft has entered the Milky Way, the 5142nd destination, the Milky Way Orion, is expected to arrive in 5 years, and no habitable stars have been found......"

As soon as the report was completed, a sharp and piercing alarm sounded, and in an instant, all the dormant compartments in the spacecraft control room were opened, and the sleeping pink creature suddenly opened its eyes, and panic appeared in its red eyes.

"Highest level alert, highest alert, coordinates A5247, S1547, X24567 there is a meteorite flow, 5 seconds later the impact, the weapon system is activated."

"Chirp ......"

The tentacles on the red-tailed creature's head swayed, and its mouth emitted strange sound waves.

The entire control room panicked.

The spacecraft weapon system has been turned on, all aimed in the direction of the meteorite.

Rumble!!!

Beams of particles flew towards the meteorite stream, and the meteorite that was hit exploded in an instant, turning into smaller fragments and flying in all directions.

"Alarm, alarm, damage to the hull."

"Alert, the hull is damaged, please get out of the ship immediately, please get out of the ship immediately."

The red-tailed creature heard the alarm with desperation in its eyes.

Rumble!

The impact of the large meteorite caused this spaceship, which had been wandering in the universe for unknown years, to explode in an instant, and countless debris and spacecraft wreckage shot out in all directions.

The largest fragment of it, along with the meteorite rain, was shooting towards the constellation Orion.

And on the spiral arm of Orion in the direction of the debris flight, the sun still exudes an eternal light, and the blue earth is still slowly spinning forward.

"It's beautiful."

On the Goddess, Xiao Yu crouched by the window, looking at the blue planet outside the window, his little face excited. Next to her, it was Zhao Min, with a somewhat complicated expression.

The two of them are like two children who have never seen the world, and they can't take their eyes off the earth.

The blue, fluorescent planet in front of them was the planet they lived on. There was no living creature in sight, and their huge corporate headquarters was so small that it could not be seen at all.

How big the vision is, how broad the mind.

At this moment, they really felt that human beings were smaller than dust in the universe, and they were just fleeting passers-by in the eternal universe.

People who are mentally unstable and experience this feeling of insignificance will directly lose their fighting spirit.

Seeing only the excited Xiaoyu, Zhao Min was a little envious. There's someone who cares for me, you don't have to think too much about it, and sometimes it's good.

Chen Mo next to him had a calm face.

She only now understands that Chen Mo is facing the fighting spirit to challenge the universe.

I'm afraid that this man will not be willing to disappear into the universe like a bacterium.

Chen Mo seemed to see Zhao Min's thoughts, smiled and reached out to pat her back, and also touched Xiaoyu's head: "It's good-looking, right?" Is it the beautiful galaxy over there, or the earth? ”

"Then do you think the ink girl is good-looking, or Sister Zhao Min is good-looking?" Xiao Yu asked jokingly.

Hearing this question, Zhao Min almost burst out laughing, this rhetorical question is indeed very interesting.

"Well, each has its own merits, and they all look good." Chen Mo said with a dry smile.

"You say, in this universe, are there really other creatures, alien civilizations?" After Xiao Yu came back to his senses, he looked at the earth outside the window with some emotion.

"Let the Great Scientist answer you."

Zhao Min and Xiao Yu both looked at Chen Mo, waiting for his answer.

"This question, similar to deep-sea bacteria, is that bacteria that live in small pits deep in the trench ask if there are other bacteria out there." Chen Mo said with emotion: "There must be, but they are limited to the deep sea." ”

"But isn't there a Fermi paradox? Suppose there are aliens, millions of years before we develop, and cosmic travel must have discovered us. However, we have not found the appearance of aliens, nor have we found evidence of the real existence of aliens, so there are no aliens. ”

"Well, I know all these theories." Chen Mo smiled.

"Just heard of it." Xiao Yu said.

This paradox is a paradox. In fact, in Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem", the law of the dark forest is used to make a possible explanation for Fermi's paradox. The gist of it is that alien civilizations deliberately hide themselves from other alien civilizations, so as not to attract the cleanup of more advanced civilizations.

But it is only a possibility, not all civilizations will hide from each other, and humanity launched Voyager 1 to the outside world.

There are many other possible explanations for the Fermi paradox.

Just like I just said about deep-sea bacteria, the Fermi paradox, which is equivalent to deep-sea bacteria asking, are there other creatures out there? If so, why haven't they been discovered yet? Or they find evidence of our existence.

They didn't notice us, did we not exist?

Actually, there is a problem of discovering the time span here. Millions of years, long for humans and short for the universe.

Millions of years ago, we were just a puddle of liquid. Suppose that the bacteria on the bottom of the sea can only live for two days, and how many generations will it have to pass down before we can find it?

Maybe a few decades later, a deep-sea scientific exploration, humans will find that deep-sea colony, and then a few decades later, a second colony, a third colony? Those colonies can be found sooner or later.

The same question applies to us, what if we are a colony in the deep sea of the universe, and the alien exploration journey has not yet taken the turn to discover us? After all, space travel is much more dangerous than deep-sea exploration, and much wider than the sea.

Of course, you can also assume that the creatures of the universe appeared at the same time, we are the generation with the fastest formation of civilization, and millions of years later, we will explore and discover other civilizations in the universe, and no matter what the result, the scientific inference is that extraterrestrial life exists.

But in the universe, what is the probability that we are the first generation of cosmic civilizations? This probability is equivalent to that of all living beings on the earth thinking that they are the first generation of civilizations. The probability exists, but this probability is estimated to be lower than the probability of the lottery in the penguin game. ”

Hearing the last joke, Xiao Yu and Zhao Min couldn't help laughing.

"I think it's a little bit more likely than the Penguin Game lottery." Zhao Min laughed teasingly.

"It's complicated, but I'm stupid, so I don't have to think about it so much." Xiao Yu said.

She roughly understood the meaning of Chen Mo's explanation, and as for thinking about it, it was not within her scope of consideration.

"Are you afraid that one day aliens will discover our 'colony' and catch you as a specimen for study, just like humans grab specimens?" Zhao Min asked.

"Then I'm going to be the one who infects them with deadly superbugs."

"If it is discovered by aliens, won't it directly exterminate us as described by the Three-Body Problem?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

"It may be, but it may not, when a civilization of the same level, or when the civilization level of two species is close, the law of the dark forest may apply. For example, during the Age of Discovery, the Indians of the Americas were slaughtered and exterminated.

However, for civilizations of the same level, or civilizations of similar level to ours, the probability of the universe exploring us is too small, and the time span and distance span are too long. A civilization of the same level as ours cannot raise an entire race to exterminate us unless it finds a habitat like the three-body problem.

Civilization explorations far above our civilization level have discovered us, such as going to Africa for exploration and research, and discovering a new species of ants in the rainforest, will we burn the nest with a fire? Apparently not. Catch a few at most for research, or for viewing.

If our human intelligence and civilization have not reached their level, it will not threaten their interests, and our living environment has no value to them, and the law of the dark forest may become invalid. If we have a good interest for them, then you can refer to the zoo animals. ”

Chen Mo looked at the depths of the starry sky in the universe and said quietly.

The law of the jungle, no matter what kind of civilization, it is applicable, that is the essence of the universe,
