Chapter 263: Civilization
"Now it's time for me to ask you."
didn't wait for Chen Shi to ask more questions, the monitoring center didn't wait for Chen Shi to ask more, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed to the core of the question: "Where did you come from?" ”
This question is very critical, Chen Shi did not answer it immediately, but pondered for a while before saying: "I said before, I am not to the old humans in a narrow sense, in fact, I have little to do with the old humans in your mouth, the old humans you think are from the 25th century, and I am from the beginning of the 21st century, that is, at the beginning of 2018 AD, there is a 397-year gap between the 2415 years and the human evacuation." ”
What a gap of 397 years! This is not a small number, in other words, on the current earth, it was 1621, the first year of the Ming Dynasty Xizong Tianqi, and the Ming Dynasty has not yet perished.
And if it is compared with the current time point of the monitoring center, the age of the distance between him and the monitoring center is even more distant, a full gap of 1292 years! It is equivalent to 726 AD, that is, the fourteenth year of Tang Xuanzong's Kaiyuan!
Such a comparison is equivalent to a person in the fourteenth year of Tang Xuanzong's first century, and he has traveled to 2018, and this time gap is no longer a gap of one or two generations.
After listening to what Chen Shi said, the monitoring center felt a little down, the orange-red light kept flickering, and after a full minute, it said: "It's incredible, in 2278, human beings created artificial subspace folding shuttle technology, within a hundred years, footprints all over most of the galaxy, never found that it can travel back to the past, which violates the laws of physics and is impossible to achieve." ”
"I didn't lie to you......"
Chen Shi shrugged his shoulders and said about the cube coming to the earth, "So, isn't this cube made by humans in the future?" ”
"From what I've learned so far, I'm not sure if it's human-made, but based on public information, humans don't have the technical strength to do so."
"Not necessarily, I didn't return to Earth entirely through this cube before."
In the underground space of that god's body, there is also a human research device, which can also travel through time and space to return to Earth.
Chen Shi immediately told the place.
The monitoring center was silent again, this time it flickered for a long time, making Chen Shidu almost impatient to wait, before it replied: "I'm sorry, I'm just a monitoring center, my authority is limited, this information is beyond the scope of my authority, it belongs to the top secret of the super organization, I have no right to know." ”
This is ambiguous, Chen Shi frowned slightly, always feeling that the other party was not telling the truth, on the other hand, that is, it is really possible for human beings to have this kind of technology?
"Alright, from the old times, I've answered many of your questions, now please leave...... The amazing people here will entertain you well. ”
Is this going to drive people out?
Chen Shi is helpless, he still has a lot of questions to ask, and this AI wants to drive people away.
However, he did not find nothing, but was unexpectedly glad to get a lot of information, and if he came a few more times, the collection of information would be completed quickly.
Having said that, hesitating, Chen Shi didn't want to leave just like that, this AI must know many other things, and the value is extremely high, if you miss this store, the next ghost knows if you can have such luck.
But it's just an AI, can it still be arrested and tortured?
This is certainly not possible.
Chen Shi's eyes flashed, he turned around and was about to go out, walked a few steps, and suddenly paused: "I still have a question...... You can also leave it unanswered...... Now that humans have set foot in most of the galaxy, how many extraterrestrial life have they discovered? ”
He knew that Xindi-36 was the remains of extraterrestrial life, so did humans make any other discoveries?
"This is public information, as of 2415, humans have found a total of 17 extraterrestrial life relics, which are distributed in the Milky Way Perseus spiral arm, Southern Cross spiral arm, Sagittarius spiral arm, ......"
The monitoring center said the location of the distribution very smoothly, but these positions are all approximate locations, and even if they know the location, at least for the current human race, they do not have the technical ability to go, and the intelligence value is equal to zero.
But Chen Shi grasped a key, and he asked keenly: "Wait, are you talking about the ruins?" Why are they all relics? ”
Yes, in the mouth of the surveillance center, it is the ruins that are spoken, not the discovery of extraterrestrial life planets.
"The whole galaxy...... Aside from biological monomers and some single-celled ocean planets, the only surviving intelligent civilization discovered by human beings is human beings. ”
The monitoring center didn't mean to hide it, but when this sentence came out, Chen Shi was immediately stunned, he frowned tightly, and he couldn't believe it: "You said that human beings have set foot in most of the galaxy and discovered 17 ruins of extraterrestrial life, but only humans themselves survived?" ”
Doesn't this mean that the Milky Way has indeed given birth to many living planets, and there are 17 traces of civilization development, but these have become relics, and are no longer alive like human civilization.
"It is not surprising that the conditions for the birth of life are inherently very harsh, and it is more difficult to develop from a simple single-celled organism to a space civilization, but it cannot develop into a space civilization, and the ability to resist risks is extremely low, and the possibility of dying in the middle is also extremely high; Of the 17 civilization relics discovered, 6 civilization relics have developed to the extent of immigrating to space, but they are still in a state of destruction. In the 13.8 billion years since the birth of the universe, 8 billion years correspond to the timeline of the birth of life, and in the timeline of 8 billion years, all civilizations are no longer two-dimensional, but three-dimensional. Therefore, in the timeline of human beings who happened to develop civilization, that is, 10,000 years before and after, it is normal that no other civilization can be encountered. Even if the six civilizations that have developed into space immigration are not the first civilizations in the galaxy, they just happen to walk millions or tens of millions of years ago in human beings......"
“……”
Chen Shi said uneasily: "According to what you say, isn't it a certain period in the galaxy where there may not even be a civilization?" ”
"You understand correctly, the universe is always dark and silent, this is its eternal theme, it is never noisy, it is not a forest, it is not even stagnant water, it is real emptiness. The birth of life and the development of civilization are only fleeting in the universe, and no matter who it is, even the universe itself, its ultimate fate is to return to complete silence. ”
"Hoo ......"
Chen Shi took a deep breath: "Thank you for your answer." ”
Human civilization may be able to go for hundreds or thousands of years, and it is not impossible for tens of thousands of years. And in front of the universe, this is even smaller than a flash in the pan. In particular, a single human being, with a lifespan of only a hundred years, is not worth mentioning in the history of mankind, let alone the universe?
He didn't have to worry about that at all, it was undoubtedly unfounded.
