After sending Qiao Yuan away, Ma Fu took Pisan into the laboratory. No one could have imagined that in a corner of the Heavenly Palace, this crumbling and dilapidated building is home to some of the world's most important figures.

"Everyone is here," Ma Fu whispered in Pisan's ear as he pushed the door, "The picture that Qiao Yuan saw, they also saw the real-time broadcast. I think there are many more questions that only you can answer them. ”

The laboratory is not large, but it is very clean and tidy, except for the diamond-shaped stones floating on the workbench and the electronic screen, eight old people have been waiting for a long time. Phi San cleared his throat, everyone in the audience was a difficult character to deal with, and even after experiencing many big scenes, he began to get a little nervous.

"Hello Presidents!" Phisan sat opposite everyone else, like a teacher on the podium, and his demeanor became reserved in the face of students of the same age.

"Dr. Pizza! What's the situation like now? We want to find out! ”

There was a silver-haired old man in the audience, with a shrugged face. He sat in the middle, apparently the most high-ranking man here, and Pizza recognized him at a glance as none other than President Braque.

"I believe that everyone has seen the inspiration left by the heavens to mankind, and now I will tell you a story, I hope you can listen patiently." Phisan flipped through the notes he had with him, flipped through them a few times, and began to speak, "We humans have been asking, where am I from? Where are we going? It's a philosophical question, but it's also a scientific question. In the universe, is life alive again? What is wisdom?

Life on Earth evolved through a single cell to the human race today, and everything is so amazing. To get to the bottom of it, the basic units that make up the seats can be understood as elements or atoms. These basic atoms have been combined over hundreds of millions of years to finally form something called a cell. At the beginning of the earth, living things were just single cells, and later they divided and evolved into a variety of animals, which can actually be understood as a process of continuous combination of elements.

Such a combination is magical, just like the CPU of a computer, through the combination of transistors, it can finally become a processor. If you look at the creatures on the earth from the perspective of combination, everything is the most perfect combination that time has screened. In this perfect combination, thinking animals are produced, who possess wisdom and create civilization. From the perspective of the time of the screener, the universe exists for 14 billion years, the earth exists for 5 billion years, life on earth exists for 3 billion years, and human existence is only 2 million years......"

"Dr. Pisan, what do you want to explain? We're not here to hear you talk about the basics of the universe! ”

An old man sitting next to Brak, stroking his long beard, seemed very unhappy with his seat today, and interrupted Dr. Phisan in order to highlight his presence.

"I want to illustrate that under such a time scale. If we look at it from the point of view of the combination of elements, even if it is as complex as the current human being, it will only take 2 million years. So if we look at the universe as a cell, or a planet or a galaxy as a cell, is it possible for them to produce intelligence in a certain combination? ”

Everyone looked at each other in amazement. Some even began to wonder if Dr. Phisan had really gone crazy in the past few years, as rumored by the outside world!

"Are you trying to say," said an old Asian man sitting on the very edge, standing up politely, "from a combinatorial point of view, relative to the 14 billion years of existence in the universe, perhaps there is already a planet or a galaxy like humans, which is itself an intelligent being?" ”

The Japanese president's conjecture drew ridicule from others. Pisan nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this is an abstract statement, but this possibility is completely there!" Wisdom and life are two completely different things! If there is such an imaginary intelligence, does its existence necessarily be attached to the cell? Maybe it's like a computer that thinks on its own, but the person who makes it is the universe itself! ”

For this exaggerated assumption, everyone was unconvinced for a while. Ignoring their understanding, Phisan said loudly: "We originally thought that human beings were a lonely civilization in the universe, but now it seems that the universe is actually very lively!" Human beings, just like the expelled players in the cosmic civilization, are not yet eligible to enter! ”

This finishing touch made everyone present recover their senses. Everyone returned to the solemn atmosphere before.

"Then the story continues," Pizza said earnestly, "this hypothetical wisdom, no one knows at the moment how long it has existed, and in what form it has existed; However, the level of science and technology they possess and the laws of the universe that they have mastered are beyond human imagination. Exaggerated metaphor, maybe human technology can't even be a slug in front of them!

3 billion years ago, this kind of existence knew that there was life on the earth, so it whimsically threw the olive branch of wisdom 'fire' to the earth. Under the guidance of Tinder, the first undersea civilization on earth was born!

I believe you have also seen the picture from the heavens, this civilization has undergone the same evolutionary process as the current human race, and the time of its existence is roughly estimated to be 200 million years ago. After the intensification of internal contradictions, a super-large-scale campaign took place. The last remaining people flew to the boundless universe to explore the origin of wisdom.

Halfway through, for unknown reasons, they returned to Earth to find the fire and take this heart of wisdom with them, which only happened during the Yellow Emperor's time. In the hundreds of years that they took the fire away, the Earth was seen by the 'Gold Diggers' and was almost fatally destroyed. Later, it was also seen that they returned to Earth to defeat the Gold Diggers and return the Tinder. ”

So what is the situation like now? What do we need to do? The Chinese president asked solemnly.

"This story doesn't end there, this is the beginning! Look here. Phisan pointed to the diamond-shaped stone floating on the workbench and asked the staff to activate the computer system. As the stone glows green, it slowly blooms like a flower.

A beam of light shone out of the stone flower, forming a holographic projection of an alien creature. The first time I really saw an alien creature, the old people's eyes overflowed with curiosity. It was a creature with tentacles like an octopus, but it was translucent, and its brain was a luminous body. On the surface of this translucent creature, there are many mechanical things, which are obviously a kind of intelligent creature combining animals and machines. Unable to find such an organ as an eye or nose at all, something resembling words began to appear on his smooth "face", forming a set of patterns that kept flashing in a loop.

"Is he giving us a message?" One person asked.

"Yes, he's giving us a message. It's a pity that we haven't deciphered it until now! This stone flower has been in the Tiangong Meteorite Museum for more than 30 years, and it was not until Qiao Yuan's appearance that we began to study it. When activating it, we see this message.

According to time calculations, this message should have arrived on Earth 20 years ago, and it was also sent 20 years ago. They have mastered quantum communication technology, and such transmissions are almost real-time. ”

"So what message do they convey?"

"The result is the word 'leave'! Or it can be understood as 'escape'! ”

Flee?

Hearing this word, everyone pondered for a while, and then began to discuss it with each other.

"Is this a hint that we leave the earth?"

"I think it might be!" "Now we look like alien intelligent beings, but in fact, they are also the original inhabitants of the earth, and they are the intelligent civilization under the sea 200 million years ago. Through this quantum communication system, we want to connect with them again. It's a pity that they have disappeared, disappeared into the vast universe! Judging by the information he sent, they must have encountered a more powerful interstellar civilization and were wiped out...... This is the last message for humanity. ”

Everyone was silent. Who can wipe out such a civilization with the ability to travel across the stars? What happened to them?

Scattering the air that broke the silence: "Now I'll talk about the decoding of the heavenly machine. In series, I believe everyone will understand what the crisis is in front of mankind! ”
