Chapter 432: 260,000 Stars

Two weeks later, in a conference room in Kyoto, all nine cabinet elders were present, and the three giants of the secret service department appeared at the same time, responsible for reporting the recently obtained alien information to the cabinet elders, and Liu Huaiyi was standing on the podium to explain.

“...... We separated the sixteen aliens, and the information they asked verified each other, eliminating vague and uncertain information, and we know ......"

“...... These sixteen aliens were all born and raised on the planet T398, and they can all be regarded as natives of T398, but they come from different civilizations, and this is the first time they have participated in an alien tour group......

“...... Planet T398 is a colonial planet, but also a trade planet, it is a bit like a free trade port, with an autonomous government, the main inhabitants are interstellar immigrants of various races, this planet has a history of more than 2,000 years......"

“...... T398 follows the naming convention of the Star Ring Alliance, and if we were to use the naming convention of our Earth, it would be located in the star system HR6806, 34 light-years away......

“...... The Star Ring Alliance is a loose alliance composed of dozens of different interstellar civilizations, this Star Ring Alliance is the same as the Sun, it is also in the cantilever of Orion, but the Sun is relatively close to the edge of the cantilever, and in layman's terms, we are probably in the remote mountainous area where the Star Ring Alliance will be......"

"So in the universe, intelligent civilizations are not uncommon?" Qian Ge Lao suddenly interjected.

"Yes, at least according to the general perception of the Star Ring Alliance, intelligent races in the universe are relatively common, and the earth is not unique in the universe."

“...... Sure enough......" Youge Lao sighed, a little lost and a little unloaded.

Humans have always doubted their uniqueness, while willing to believe that they are unique, but this is scientifically impossible, which also raises a paradox, since the earth is not the only one, then where are the aliens?

Now everything has an answer, human beings are no longer the center of the universe, no longer the only one who is lucky, no longer the favored, there are many, many intelligent races in the universe, and human beings are no longer alone.

"So what is the basic attitude of the Star Ring Alliance when it encounters a new intelligent race?" Shousuke asked.

This is a very critical question, which directly determines whether the alien civilization is benign or malicious, and by extension, the possible behavior and attitude of the alien civilization towards the civilization of the earth.

"Once encountering a new intelligent race, if this race has already left the star system, the Star Ring Alliance will usually have various diplomatic relations with it, and everyone will communicate with each other; If this is a civilization that has not left the star system, it will usually be observed, but will not actively come into contact with it. ”

"Why? What is the reason for their choice? Shousuke asked.

"As far as we know, the possible reasons lie in several points, the first intelligent civilization is not rare, there is no uniqueness, and the universe is more lively than we imagined; Second, habitable planets are not the resources that are obtained; Thirdly, the resources of each galaxy are actually not very different, but only the difference in abundance. ”

"To put it simply, the star system that gave birth to the intelligent race does not have much uniqueness, at least not to the extent that the Star Ring Alliance will exterminate a race to occupy this star system."

"For aliens, the solar system has nothing to occupy. If they want, they can find a hundred uninhabited star systems at any time, and it makes little sense to grab the human solar system. ”

And for aliens, planets like Earth, where their own ecosystems are born, often mean trouble. Because in a completely different ecosystem, one of the humble microbes in it could be a deadly plague for aliens. ”

"The complexity and variability of organisms have led to the discovery of such dangerous creatures, perhaps at the time of landing, or after 10,000 years of habitation."

"To put it simply, entering a whole new ecosystem, for aliens, is like suddenly entering a biobank full of unknown viruses, full of hidden bombs and dangers."

"And a habitable planet that has formed an ecosystem is simply an impossible task to exterminate all living things and microorganisms on this planet."

"It is precisely for the above reasons that it is not as convenient and safe for aliens to invade the home planet of an intelligent race as it is to transform a colonized planet from scratch."

“...... The home planet of the new intelligent race is actually not a harvest, but a big trouble......" Elder Youge sighed.

"That's pretty much it, aliens have no incentive to invade us."

After saying this, Liu Huaiyi felt very keenly that the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became much more relaxed, although the expressions of the elders did not change, but there was an inexplicable feeling that the pressure had been removed.

"Good! It seems that we can deal with aliens with peace of mind and do not have to worry about being invaded. Elder Youge said happily.

"How many years has the Star Ring Alliance existed?" Elder Shen Ge asked.

"It's said to have been around for 50,000 years."

50,000 years......

50,000 years ago, human beings were probably in the late Homo sapiens period, at this time the human body was basically no different from modern humans, if you look at intellectual development alone, from 50,000 years ago to get back a baby to modern times, has been raised, he can already behave is not much different from modern human children, can grow up normally, normal college.

50,000 years ago, human physiology has been fully developed, but civilization is still in the stage of ignorance, at this time human beings have entered a new period stage, will drill wood for fire, will polish stone tools and bone tools, already have needles, can paint on rock walls, can hunt and fish, has known to avoid marriage between close relatives, in a matrilineal clan society.

That is to say, this Star Ring Alliance was born at least during the period of the cave people on the top of the mountain, when human beings were still playing stone axes, stone knives and stone spears, and this Star Ring Alliance had already begun to carry out economic, political, and diplomatic cooperation among interstellar civilizations.

"The Star Ring Alliance is already so old......" Elder Youge sighed.

"How big is the territory of this Star Ring Alliance?" Elder Youge asked.

"The exact number is not asked, but one thing is certain, at least in the middle of the Orion cantilever arm, close to this part of the solar system, within hundreds of light-years of this ring alliance's sphere of influence."

"Hundreds of light-years, how many star systems are there?" Elder Shen Ge asked.

"According to the statistics of earth astronomers, there are about 260,000 stars within 250 light-years of the solar system!"
