Chapter 562: Weirdly Even
After looking at the results of the simulation, Meng Yang had basically determined that Mars was bombarded by a gamma-ray burst and turned into a barren planet.
Standard one-shot soul......
"Doctor Octopus, when did the Martian civilization come to an end?"
"According to the age of the building, it should be 100,000 years ago."
"100,000 Years ......"
100,000 years ago, humans used fire, made stone tools, and graffiti on rock walls. Did any Martians visit Earth at that time?
According to the scale of the Martian city and the degree of development of the building, the Martians may be more developed than the current earthlings, they must have discovered the earth at that time, maybe they are observing the earth with huge astronomical telescopes, and they are constantly reverie, when to land on the earth, they can get an undeveloped new planet.
They must be very curious about the creatures on the earth, want to know if there are intelligent beings on the earth, and they must not have the strange thoughts of humans, such as the Fermi paradox or something, because right under their noses, there is a living planet, and they will not be narcissistic enough to think that the entire universe is for Martians, and they will not be narcissistic enough to think that Martians are the only ones.
If the Martians had been a little more developed, then the Earth exploration satellite would have been launched a long time ago, and even the landing plan would have been implemented a long time ago.
Perhaps as far back as 100,000 years ago, several Martians in heavy spacesuits climbed out of the landing capsule and studied the Homo sapiens around them with a scrutinizing gaze.
They looked strangely at the primitive people with long hair, holding stone spears, screaming in fear and emboldening themselves.
Martians may try to communicate with primitive people, giving them lighters or glass balls or something to gain their trust. Or they use weapons to deter, make primitive people bow down, worship them as gods, paint them with murals, and treat them as totems of their own tribe.
Martians may be integrated into the lives of primitive people, observing their lives, observing their cultures, observing their evolution and development, just as anthropologists study indigenous tribes.
If the Martians had been more technologically advanced and had more time before extinction, they might have made hominids the target of experiments, just as humans studied monkeys and experimented with mice, and Martians would have done similar things.
They will extract the genes of primitive humans and make all kinds of attempts. There are several unsolved mysteries in the history of human evolution, and they may be attributed to them. They experimented with primitive humans to try to improve their genes and promote their evolution, and this change has been left in the history of human evolution, forming an unexplained mystery.
What else can a Martian do?
The Martians should not have reached the level of freedom of navigation within the star system, they certainly haven't unlocked controlled nuclear fusion technology, and they probably haven't developed a fusion engine yet.
Just like the Great Yuan Empire, as long as a nuclear fusion engine is developed, as long as a nuclear fusion-powered spaceship is built, any planet in the solar system will be deliberately arrived at will.
As long as the controlled nuclear fusion technology is unlocked, fuel will no longer be a constraint for Martians to explore the solar system, they can go to more distant planets at will, they can carry more supplies, and it will no longer be difficult to explore the earth.
If the Martians unlock fusion spacecraft, they will surely be all over the solar system, and the Earth will definitely be covered with their traces.
When Martians explore the solar system on a large scale, if Mars is destroyed by gamma-ray bursts, then there should be enough Martians outside of Mars to survive.
In order for a species to survive, the number of individuals must be greater than 1,000 to ensure that genes will not degenerate due to inbreeding in the process of reproduction. The Martians, who unlocked the technology of nuclear fusion space, should be able to meet this relatively easily.
The Martians disappeared into history, disappeared into human memory, indicating that they probably failed to meet the conditions for the continuation of this species, because they failed to unlock nuclear fusion technology, are still using chemical dye rockets, and are still constrained by capacity.
Assuming that the Martians did unlock the fusion technology and began to colonize Earth on a large scale, then they must have been very unlucky, interrupted by gamma-ray bursts when they first started interstellar colonization.
If a civilization wants to continue, it needs enough individuals to carry out the inheritance of science and technology, and this limit is 100,000 individuals, and if the civilization of the Martians fails to pass it on, then the number of individuals they survive must be less than 100,000.
But this is not very likely, if the Martians have really started the colonization of the earth, then the earth will definitely leave their architectural remains.
With Martian technology, they should have been able to reproduce easily, but this result did not appear, and not even credible Martian remains remained.
The Martians who once created a glorious civilization have completely disappeared, and if it were not for Meng Yang's accidental discovery, perhaps they would never have been discovered, and no one would ever know that Mars was once a living planet and gave birth to intelligent life.
Meng Yang's mind was full of thoughts, life seemed so small and fragile in the vast universe, and just a gamma-ray burst that might have come from tens of thousands of light-years away had made a planet of life that had evolved for billions of years disappear.
His thoughts wandered, and Meng Yang suddenly remembered another thing, it seemed that Baka had said that the history of the Star Ring Alliance was only about 50,000 years.
If the history of the Star Ring Alliance is 50,000 years, then the time when they walked out of their respective home planets should be similar to that of the Martians, right?
Even if the acceleration of technological development is taken into account, the time error in the middle is not too large, at most it is an applied error in tens of thousands of years.
There are many intelligent races in the Star Ring Alliance, they are likely to have walked out of their home planet at about the same time as the Martians, and they may be the same group of intelligent races......
Same batch......
A peculiar and eerie sense of time!
A number of galaxies that are completely unrelated have given birth to their own intelligent life, and these intelligent life forms have slowly developed technology and gradually moved out of the home planet.
Using humans on Earth as a reference, this process often lasts for millions of years, during which there are countless contingencies that can affect the evolutionary process, and the slightest butterfly effect can prolong the process by hundreds of thousands of years or shorten it by hundreds of thousands of years.
Dozens of unrelated, unrelated living galaxies were very consistent in giving birth to intelligent races at about the same time, and these intelligent races left their home planets at about the same time.
This possibility......
Very little!
But it happened!
Why?
If the Kaka people's inference is correct, then the universe has a mechanism that regularly kills intelligent beings, then this strange intergenerational evenness can be explained......
