Chapter 105: We Are Being Manipulated?
"Predictions? Amaze...... Continuation? Yu Yifeng thought about it quickly, and had a lot of conjectures about these keywords.
Just from these few words, he had a ...... The other party is playing the feeling of the whole universe.
Yes, the whole universe of games!
"Could it be that the other party is too powerful and invincible, so in a long time, sow some small probability events and find a little unpredictable fun?"
As soon as the idea came out, he felt a little ridiculous.
"But it seems to be real...... Is the other party omniscient? Even if it's just close to the omnipotence, it's a long road, but there has to be something unexpected to have a little fun......"
Such speculation made it difficult for him to describe the feelings in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. Because he thought of a series of events that humanity had experienced......
He was thinking, since there really is such a magnificent existence in the universe...... Could it be that from the appearance of the Noah at the beginning to the series of stories that followed, it was a "game" of a powerful civilization?
Is it some kind of "manipulation behind the scenes"?
It's not like this idea has not been discussed, because there are so many adventures that people have encountered.
People's good fortune seems to be a little more.
"A civilization that has grown up with all kinds of good fortune...... If there wasn't enough luck, alas, we would have died on the moon long ago......"
The universe is so big, and on the whole it is still quite empty and calm, but everything people experience looks like a legend, and people can't help but feel a little suspicious.
Yes, as long as you are smart, you will have some doubts, even if life and wisdom are common in the galaxy, it is impossible for every star to give birth to all kinds of strange things, and then happen to be encountered by humans......
Why do humans always encounter good fortune in one way or another?
“…… Even the discovery of this detector is a kind of good luck. It's so small, it's going to be missed all at once, and as long as the curvature of the Deep Space sails a lot, you won't be able to spot it for a second......"
But......
As much as people wonder, all of them, from the current human perspective, seem to be accidental phenomena, cobbled together by many coincidences.
"If an unusually powerful being is hidden in the shadows and manipulated, what is its purpose? Does it gain anything? ”
Just for fun? Or is it for something else......
For example, a philosophical goal?
It's too broad.
It is so extensive that it is unimaginable with human intelligence......
From the explosion of the earth, to the moon, to the Martian flying saucer behind, this series of events involved the battlefield of the solar system millions of years ago.
The green-light man ran into the solar system, it can't be a secret manipulation, right...... It's their own choice.
The Knicks civilization was wiped out by its own death tens of millions of years ago. It should, not manipulation.
There is also a series of things that happened on Dig 114, which is definitely the choice of humanity itself.
And the destroyer civilization behind it really wants to destroy human civilization...... The desperate attempt to escape is all dependent on the efforts of human beings themselves.
Therefore, from these things that will change at any time, the probability of having a "mastermind behind the scenes" is extremely low...... Most likely, it is people's own assumptions.
Of course, just because it's low doesn't mean it's impossible......
If there really is an unimaginably great existence...... Is there any point in playing with humans like ants?
"Human beings are just an ordinary civilization in the vast galaxy, and there is nothing special about it."
Yu Yifeng sighed deeply.
Human beings are really nothing special, they are not a great species in themselves, and they are controlled by their own desires. And people's heads are not very bright, and they always make mistakes. Moreover, human nature is inherently cowardly, and likes to attribute unpredictable things to fate......
"All kinds of destinies may just be because science and technology are not enough...... Whether the Laplace Demon exists or not, no one knows ......"
However, now is not the time to discuss all kinds of conspiracy theories, and you have to deal with the ball of light in front of you.
After discussing for a while, they carefully replied, "We really don't need this kind of wisdom inheritance. But what do you mean...... How do you keep the 'surprise' going? ”
Everything started with the probe of the Tucker civilization, so the whole topic should be returned to the probe again......
After hearing this question, the voice rang out from people's heads again: "You can find a suitable planet and throw it away; You can also launch the entire probe indiscriminately and let it find it on its own, hoping that it will meet the true owner in the dark...... The choice is yours. ”
After hearing this, people discussed it again for a short while. One scientist asked his doubts: "We think the first method seems more plausible. But why did you choose the second option in the first place? Why not find the ultimate destination for this inheritance of wisdom and the tombstone of civilization? ”
He continued: "...... There are many low-level civilizations that have not yet developed natural technology, and they can definitely be found in the vicinity within a few hundred light years. Why launch at will? It could crash on a lifeless planet and lose its original meaning......"
The being smiled and replied, "It's good to be young...... There are always so many surprises and unknowns. I can only answer this question simply, and the specific truth is up to you to discover for yourself, so that you can have more fun. ”
"Because we don't know if the inheritance of this knowledge will have a negative impact on the low-level civilization."
"Perhaps, their original potential could have broken through the first screening and become an interstellar civilization. But after getting this alien knowledge inheritance, although he can take a few steps forward quickly, he will eventually stop at a certain stage in advance, and he will never be able to climb the stage of the starry sky. ”
"The impact of this inheritance on civilization is too great. Whether it's good or bad, we don't know ......."
"At the beginning, we didn't want to do bad things with good intentions."
Hearing this reason, Yu Yifeng was taken aback.
As for its statement, if human beings are still at the level of low civilization, they may not be able to understand it at all. But now, after so much experience, people have been able to understand vaguely, but not deeply.
In the process of natural development of a civilization, if there is a strong external interference, it is elusive whether it will be good or bad for its future development.
For example, the indigenous lizard civilization of Nix, which was once fueled by humans, resulted in a large number of god worship, and people do not know how it will evolve in the end.
People just vaguely feel that the probability of them breaking through the interstellar civilization is not large.
But without the reminder of the light sphere, humanity would not have thought about this aspect at all.
In the long silence, many scientists were trying to think.
From the perspective of mankind a moment ago, such a knowledge inheritance, obtained by a more inferior civilization, must be a great thing, which can greatly promote the development of science and technology.
As a result, this group of light actually thought that it was not necessarily a good thing and did not want to do it......
From this alone, the huge intellectual gap between the two civilizations has been reflected.
Depending on the height of the station, the problem will be looked at differently. Perhaps in the eyes of the sower civilization, this inheritance of knowledge, like absurd statements such as "geocentrism" and "heaven and earth", makes it reluctant to bring some wrong things to other civilizations, even low-level civilizations.
Could it be that the Atlantic civilization also thinks so?
Yu Yifeng felt that these two civilizations had a kind of "fraternity" for the whole world.
Perhaps this kind of fraternity has gone beyond the thinking norms of ordinary interstellar civilizations, and is a sublimation on a philosophical scale.
He thought for a moment and tentatively wrote his answer: "What you mean is that because of the huge butterfly effect in the long flow of time, the optimal solution seen at present is only partial, and it is likely to bring greater adverse effects in the future." ”
“…… The inheritance of this knowledge may be able to promote the development of science for a while, but it may also cause a huge mindset and create obstacles to the development of science and technology in the future. Even, it will be regarded as a scientific classic by the lower civilizations, and the wrong things will be regarded as the truth......"
"In this way, their science can develop for a while, but from now on, it will be difficult to progress."
"Yes, the truth is closer, but not all ......"
The being said with appreciation, "It seems that your cosmic sociology has developed to a certain level. It doesn't make much sense to shorten the development time of a civilization, if they can explore these things on their own. Time is in the universe, but it's the least valuable......"
Yu Yifeng asked again: "However, if this probe falls on a lifeless planet, or falls into a star, wouldn't it break the inheritance of wisdom?" ”
"yes, we were very sorry at the beginning, so we launched the probe again. It is within our calculable scale and does not crash into any planet...... If it is really destroyed by the stars, it is also its final destination, and nothing in the universe is eternal. ”
"As for the rest of the matter...... Didn't I meet you? ”
The ball of light said with a slight smile, "The choice is yours. ”
Yu Yifeng thought about it, discussed it with everyone for a while, and decided to follow suit, relaunch this probe, and deliver its final destination to the infinite "unknown", maybe in the dark, it will be passed on to the fourth civilization?
Immediately afterwards, Dr. Rimbaud stood up and asked, "According to your opinion, the current optimal is not the global optimum, but how to find the global optimal solution of civilization?" This seems like a very difficult question. ”
"The strategies we usually adopt are just greedy algorithms, and we have no way to predict the future, and it is already very good to find the local optimal of a time period."
"Your question is good, but we don't know the optimal solution. Our wisdom is still limited, and the future of insight cannot be infinite, but it is relatively correct to find it. ”
The being was silent for a moment, and said in a detached tone: "The complexity of the development of a civilization is too high, and it is too difficult and difficult to choose the overall optimal among each choice...... Every choice needs to involve evolution thousands of years later. ”
"We are also looking for the ultimate answer to this question. Maybe we can find it, maybe we can find it, maybe we're only looking for part of it......"
Speaking of this, the tone of the ball of light became vicissitudes: "There are too many mysteries under deep space, our wisdom is always limited, we have gone all the way from confusion, turning too many unknowns into knowns, but this unknown has never decreased, but more and more...... And the deduction of civilization is almost the most difficult thing. ”
"If you go high enough, you might realize that...... At that time, it was difficult to sort out the rights and wrongs of the past, and only later would they become clear. ”
The crowd in the conference room was unexpectedly silent.
Such a great being, who still thinks that he is humble and insignificant, and who has only passed the first screening, what qualifications does a human being have to be arrogant?
In the short process of getting along, a sensitive scientist found that the volume of this light ball seems to have shrunk by 3.2%!
"That is, the time it has to talk to us, most likely, is limited!"
Yu Yifeng's heart moved, when it ran out of energy, maybe the two sides would not be able to talk, so it was time to hurry!
