1. Galactic civilizations
"You're late." In the blink of an eye, the surroundings changed abruptly, and the familiar scenes and furnishings changed. At the same time, a cold voice came into my ears.
"You should go to Theory 236, not me." Wang Yao rubbed his forehead, picked up a bottle of water from the coffee table, and left it for three months, unscrewed the lid and poured it into his mouth.
He no longer has to stay in a safe house every time he enters.
"Why are you at my house?" Putting down the empty bottle, Wang Yao came to the bathroom and turned on the faucet to wash away the blood stains on his body.
Nothing is to be taken out of SCP-236, including clothing. Therefore, Wang Yao, who was wearing a galaxy team uniform, naturally did not have a trace after returning.
"I'll rush you." Tomoko followed Wang Yao, who had a bathrobe around his waist and black hair and walked out of the bathroom barefoot.
"Even if you are sentenced to death, you will have to be given a severed head meal before." Wang Yao walked to the wardrobe and opened it, unbuttoned the bathrobe around his waist and changed into clothes. The whole process was very calm, and Tomoko was not unusual.
"I'm just warning you, don't maliciously delay time. That will make your civilization less concerned about you. ”
"Civilization?" Wang Yao glanced at her indifferently, opened the refrigerator, took out a bunch of high-calorie food from it, threw it on the coffee table, and returned to the sofa to sit down. "I thought you were going to keep it hidden."
As he spoke, he manipulated his watch to send a message to the exclusive team of experts.
"I'm back."
"The time limit has passed, and you have the right to know everything."
"But I don't have the right to make a choice, right?" Wang Yao closed his watch and looked up slightly at Zhizi standing in front of him.
"Say, whatever I want to know, say everything you can say."
The universe is a cold, lifeless, empty place. The universe is made up of more planets than all the gravel on Earth, and it is still expanding outward every hour and every second, like a balloon.
The universe is big. Countless planets larger than Earth and smaller than Earth make up the solar system. Countless galaxies larger than the Solar System and smaller than the Solar System make up the Milky Way. Countless clusters of galaxies larger than the Milky Way and smaller than the Milky Way make up the Virgo Supercluster. There are currently 46 superclusters of galaxies observed.
The diameter of the Milky Way alone is 100,000 light-years, which means that it takes 100,000 years for light to travel from one end of the galaxy to the other.
So there are infinite possibilities in the universe. Earth is just the only life form in the universe? Don't be funny. It's more credible to say that it is the only one in the solar system.
According to the ranking method, there are more than 200 billion stars in the Milky Way. That's more than 200 billion solar systems. Even if the chance of life in each solar system drops to 1 in 10,000, there are at least 20 million civilizations in the entire galaxy.
The actual number is, 1246.
There are a total of 1,246 civilizations within the galaxy.
Each civilization has a different pace of development, and even a different form. There are primitive civilizations relative to human beings, there are feudal civilizations, and there are more highly developed civilizations, and most of them are carbon-based organisms. As for silicon-based organisms? They are not fit to live in this universe, at least the Milky Way. Or genocide, or some people have silicon-based animals in their homes, a creature that looks like delicate crystals.
Because silicon-based compounding is infinitely slower than carbon-based. This means that they have a different view of time than our carbon-based organisms. Perhaps the blink of an eye is enough for a human to spend a lifetime. So it is not surprising that this creature was exterminated. After all, in their eyes, we are the light.
No, they won't even see carbon-based organisms. There will not even be the slightest reaction when it is exterminated.
There are civilizations in the galaxy that are constantly being destroyed for various reasons, and there are also civilizations that are emerging for various reasons. There are only 983 civilizations that remain stable, at least not collapsing on their own.
Among the 983 civilizations, there are 657 civilizations above the C level. All civilizations that do not have the ability to travel interstellar are rated D-class. The earth is also included.
326 D-Class civilizations have information restricted. In other words, in their cognition, the galaxy is dead silent. Maybe they are the only ones who exist.
Earth is an anomaly, because of the existence of ofTum, which seriously breaks the laws of the universe, and it is extremely concerned by other civilizations. Although the earth's basic technology is extremely low, it is not a soft persimmon. With ofTum at its core, the Earth has countless ways to protect itself, such as ofTum-1.
This also makes other civilizations need to think carefully when they move the civilization of the earth. Is it worth it to die together?
These 657 civilizations are self-contained and mutually restrictive. Just like the situation in the countries of the planet. Be wary of each other, but at the same time befriend each other.
It maintains a fragile balance, because everyone knows that they are highly technologically advanced in the event of a war. In the end, they all end up together.
This doesn't fit the law of the dark jungle, or just the strange state of the galaxy. In the universe, when a civilization reveals its location, there are only two solutions. Either it's powerful enough to ignore attacks at any level, or it's self-contained, indicating "harmlessness."
There is no such thing as peaceful coexistence. War is the eternal theme of any living being. Even human beings can kill each other, let alone different civilizations. Perhaps there is a real "sage" civilization, and the result is that the sage civilization has either been destroyed or transformed long ago.
"Don't speculate about other civilized creatures with human minds." This is Tomoko's warning.
Outside the window, the remnant sun was like blood, and Wang Yao shifted his gaze back.
"Tell me about the alien battlefield."
Even human beings have all kinds of sports and variety shows. Not to mention so many civilizations.
When civilizations with interstellar travel capabilities come together to form what is known as the Galactic Council. Limit each other and cooperate with each other at the same time. These hundreds of civilizations began to grow closer. At the same time, entertainment is essential.
And so the alien battlefield was born.
It can also be understood here as an occasion for various civilizations to show their soft power. Talents are selected by various civilizations and thrown into the alien battlefield to fight. At the same time, civilizations will broadcast live to the "TV station" in real time through quantum links to attract audiences.
TV stations will subscribe to contestants who they think will arouse the interest of the audience, such as more than 100 civilizations that have already subscribed to Wang Yao. After these TV stations subscribing to Wang Yao are exploited by the "alien battlefield program group", part of the prize money will fall on the contestants. That is, the more you subscribe, the more bonuses.
Bonuses are the foundation of the Alien Battlefield. Every once in a while, the participant will receive a prize based on the number of subscriptions they currently have. At the same time, when killing or defeating participants from other civilizations, or throwing ferocious creatures, a certain amount will be obtained, and it will fluctuate according to the difference in strength.
But there are other ways. For example, when a civilized TV station subscribes to Wang Yao, and many people in that civilization choose to watch the TV station, in return, the TV station will also give Wang Yao a bonus.
But if there are very few people watching, the TV station will choose to give up subscribing to Wang Yao. (To be continued......)
