Chapter 61 Information Advantages and Information Disadvantages
Yu Yifeng opened his mouth and said, "Dr. Lampo, your point of view is very good, but ...... Ignoring one of them, we've been here for a month and the light signal has been traveling for a month! Although we now have an information advantage, after the other party gets out of the faster-than-light environment, perhaps such an advantage has become a disadvantage! ”
"Because this month's relationship, it is not that both parties discover each other at the same time, but that the other party ...... Be the first to discover us!
"Discover us early!"
Yu Yifeng gave an example: "Let's assume that the other party is out of the superluminal state at this moment 0.1 light-years away, what will they observe?" They'll see Dig-114 0.1 years ago, right? ”
"Yes! You mean......" Dr. Rimbaud's head was racing, and his face suddenly turned blue and he realized the bug in his reasoning.
Hypothesis...... At this moment, the enemy exited the faster-than-light state at a distance of 0.1 light-years. Because of the limitation of the speed of light, the planet Dig-114 they observed was not real-time data, but something 0.1 years ago.
And because of the Doppler effect, as they move forward, they see a fast-forward picture...... A few days later, they will see the Deep Space ship arrive on Dig 114, and then a Titan and five Leviathan ships will have a nuclear war with Gaia creatures on this planet!
However, enemy spacecraft can only be observed by humans after 0.1 years of detaching from faster-than-light speed.
Other words...... In fact, humans occupy an absolute disadvantage in terms of information!
"It's a total asymmetry of information!"
"The analysis just now is all wrong, we are a huge disadvantage!"
Shocked, two completely different results were analyzed, and everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Dr. Rimbaud shook his lips with a pale face, and stood up and sat down again. Yes, he had to admit that the reasoning just now produced a huge bug, and Yu Yifeng's result was correct.
As a perennial radical, Rimbaud didn't want to give up this powerful biofactory, but Yu Yifeng's words shocked him too much...... He was wrong!
People are simply not safe, and as a result, they are back to square one......
The speed of light strikes could fall on people's heads in the next moment.
"The actual situation should be like this: before the other side gets out of the speed of light, human beings have information advantage, and people know that the other party is likely to come here, but the other party does not know about the existence of human beings."
"But as long as the other party is out of the speed of light, they will detect the image of the human being early, because ...... Humans have been on this planet for a long time, and the exact timeline is a month. ”
"And people can only delay detection of the enemy through light-speed mediums such as photons or gravitational waves. So at the moment, humanity is in an absolute information disadvantage. ”
This is the final version that people have analyzed, and there should be no more loopholes.
"But!"
Dr. Rimbaud had a flash of inspiration and suddenly shouted: "We haven't been here for long, 1 month is not a long time, and the Deep Space has been in a state of radio silence for a long time, think about it!" ”
"Originally, in order to reduce the possibility of being discovered by the natives, our Deep Space came with radio silence, and at the same time it was wrapped in a curvature bubble, and very little light was emitted...... The probability of being observed during this period of time is low. ”
Everyone looked at Dr. Rimbaud in confusion, could he still turn the tide?
"Let me give you another example, what will they see if the other party leaves the speed of light at 0.1 light-years after 0.1 years? They'll see where we are today! The most visible is only a Titan flying in the sky...... Our Deep Space stay on the second satellite, not obviously. Let's not forget that even 0.1 light years is a very long distance, and conventional observations can only get quite vague information! ”
"If we hide the Titan now and let the Deep Space hide, yes...... They won't see anything then! The information advantage is still with us......
"Think about it, isn't that so?"
"The key is when and at what distance will the other side break away from faster-than-light in the future...... Let's assume that the disengagement time is t and the distance is x......"
Rimbaud drew an image on the screen, which is a linear line of a function of t and x, with x on abscissa and t on ordinate, with the lower area being the human information disadvantage and the upper area being the human information superiority.
"As long as the time and position of the opponent out of the faster-than-light state fall above this function graph...... It means that they have missed this month's information! They still don't know that humans exist! ”
"The premise is...... In the next moment, human beings must hide themselves! ”
Speaking of this, Lan Bo's eyes looked straight at Yu Yifeng: "If we still want to capture Gaia, we must immediately keep the radio silent, and at the same time hide the Titans flying in the sky!" They're still too obvious...... At the same time, we want to ...... Pray that the other party will get out of the faster-than-light time t, distance x, and fall in an area favorable to humanity! ”
"Or, retreat now......"
Yu Yifeng's heart was beating wildly, and his face was blue, he didn't expect the matter to evolve like this......
It's a difficult choice!
People are naturally divided into two factions, one group believes that they should flee as soon as possible, give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood.
And a few others feel that this kind of 1 in 100 million probability may never be encountered...... Even if humans explore the entire galaxy in its entirety, they will not meet the next newborn Gaia creature!
"It's been 30,000 years since the big army left, and the flying saucer has been gone for 12 years...... From this point of view, it doesn't seem like a big deal to spend another month or two on this planet. One young man said, "We might be able to try a little longer." ”
"You ...... You're a fluke! Xu Yunjin roared with red ears and red ears, no matter what status he had on this occasion, he just wanted to express his meaning to the fullest.
"Civilization will be destroyed by your luck!"
Being scolded like this, the young man suddenly fell silent.
However, Dr. Rimbaud immediately stood up: "Please...... Where is the fluke? We just analyzed it probability! Think about it with your brain, in 30,000 years, will people still wander around here? ”
"God knows when the other party will come to this planet, in case...... What about ten years from now? Running away now is the biggest joke ever! We abandoned the biggest treasure in the universe because we were afraid of death, so we ran away in dismay! ”
"Do you know what we're going to give up? We have to give up the forward potential of the future! Do you really think that you can sit back and relax by crossing the big filter? Wrong, all wrong...... Interstellar civilizations will also stagnate! ”
“…… It's your kind of thinking that hinders civilization! As a perennial radical, Lan Bo roared at Xu Yunjin with a thick neck, anyway, their qualifications are comparable, and they are also different departments, so they have more times to spray.
Everyone was in a complete mess, but a group of young people quietly supported Rimbaud, but they didn't dare to speak on such occasions. The bigwigs are all based on civilization when they scold, and they are not qualified at all.
Yu Yifeng sat silently in the chair, he listened to the quarrel of the crowd, and his heart beat faster.
The words of both sides were very reasonable, making it difficult for him to make a choice, but at this moment, his mind was inexplicably immersed.
