Chapter 162: Fierce Debate (1)
The sudden outbreak of Dyson ball rumors suddenly came to an end, and Xiao Li announced that he would accept questions from all reporters and interested parties in Times Square in New York. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I don't know how the Dyson Sphere plan was leaked, but I admit that the Dyson Sphere is a real thing, as for why the Dyson Sphere was built, you can come to New York's Times Square and ask me in person, and I will answer you one by one."
The TV kept looping the clip of Xiao Li's interview with reporters, and this clip similar to a promotional video on the Internet kept being clicked, and countless people's eyes converged on Times Square in New York.
On April 28, in Times Square, New York, there was a sea of people under the huge screen, reporters with press cards on their chests, soldiers and people who maintained order blocked the square to death.
"There are so many ......." At the entrance of Carmines' restaurant, a white reporter eating pasta looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, and the pasta that originally made him feast could no longer fit into his mouth, "When did scientists have this kind of charm?" ”
Science is mainstream, but scientists have never been idols.
Even if it is Hawking, he has a great reputation, but the number of people who follow him is very rare, and the number of fans of any third-rate star can explode him.
But now .......
"I must have read it wrong." He rubbed his eyes, looked at it again, it was still like that, and suddenly wailed, "There are so many people, how can I squeeze in ...... later." ”
Squeezed in the crowd, Jack took the photographer all the way to squeeze a way out of the crowd with his strong body.
"Ladies and gentlemen, The CW is streaming New York's Times Square live for you...... As you can see, it's packed, more than any superstar would have ...... at a concert in Times Square. ”
"It's hard to imagine." David squeezed into the crowd, staring at the stage above, trying to squeeze a little more in front and a little more, "Maybe there will be a chance to ask Academician Xiao a question when you get to the front." ”
As a student at MIT, he has long wanted to ask questions about Xiao Li, a scientific genius, but he has never been able to find an opportunity, and now, it is a good opportunity.
In the center of the square, hundreds of riot police and SWAT officers formed a defensive line to resist the surging crowd, and one of them, a SWAT officer wearing a black mask, looked at the scene in front of him with a headache, "One explanation also attracts so many people...... Now scientists are so popular? ”
A large number of cameras crowded in front of them early, and the cameras stared at the center position, and their nervous eyes swept over the center from time to time, waiting for Xiao Li to appear.
"Why haven't you come out yet?"
In front of the TV, Chairman Hua Xia smoked a cigarette and stared intently at the TV, "The ideas put forward by our genius scientist are becoming more and more frightening. ”
"Dyson Sphere...... I shuddered even when I saw it...... That's advice that ordinary people can't even think of...... Only such a mad scientist would dare to come up with an idea of this magnitude...... But he was in too much of a hurry...... With the current strength of the earth's civilization, it is still a bit reluctant to establish a Dyson sphere. ”
He held a press conference to explain to the world...... Isn't it coercing public opinion...... Also, the meeting has been going on for too long and there are too many opponents, and it is normal that he can't wait...... It's just a lack of patience! ”
"Are you ready?" Xiao Li stood in the background in person, and Vicky's image was projected in front of Xiao Li through the projector, "Vicky, are all things ready?" ”
"It's ready." Vicky's face flickered, "All the data has been loaded, and the props have all been put in place...... ”
Xiao Li didn't speak, just glanced at the special effects artist next to him.
"It's all set." The special effects artists said in unison.
"Okay."
As soon as Xiao Li stepped out, he wanted to open the prelude to a new world and the curtain of the dark solar system, which was a new era, and he was the initiator of this era.
Walking on the stage, Xiao Li stood alone, but he did not leave the scene at all, but sat on the chair with a strong aura, his hands spread, and the image of a planet appeared on each hand.
This is the most advanced projection technology at present, which is lifelike and realistic.
"Everyone is welcome to come to the press conference." Xiao Li raised his right hand, and the blue planet disappeared in his hand, leaving only a red planet on his left hand, "Before answering the Dyson Sphere question, I would like to ask everyone to guess the name of this planet!" ”
Heavenly body? Name?
Everyone looked at the red planet in Xiao Li's hand, but for most people who only knew the solar system, this strange planet was so unfamiliar.
Just then, a voice came out, "It's Lizard Star." ”
Swish!
Everyone's eyes fell on the voice, white shirt, golden eyes, clean face without the slightest nervousness, he saw that he was being noticed, and smiled slightly, "Swedish astronomer Alvin." ”
"When the lizard civilization invaded Earth, I collected some information about the lizardmen, including this planet that has been baked by Proxima Centauri."
"It was originally a very ordinary planet, maybe it was not as beautiful as the earth, but it gave birth to a civilization, and the environment was far from harsh, but since the unknown mutation, Proxima Centauri has pulled it into its arms step by step."
"The red color is actually caused by the huge heat of Proxima Centauri."
"But as you know, the planet no longer exists...... It was swallowed by Proxima Centauri and became part of Proxima Centauri. ”
Everyone's gaze darkened, and there was a hint of pity in their eyes.
This kind of disaster cannot be won by manpower.
"Yes." As soon as Xiao Li raised his hand, the red planet slowly rose, and finally fell into a flame star, burying himself, "It's dead...... A planet that gave birth to civilization died like this, but its death is not unrelated to us. ”
What the!
Everyone present shook.
The destruction of the Lizard Star They have no other emotions except sighing and pity, after all, the Lizard Star is too far away from them, except for a small number of people who are overflowing with love, most of them are not concerned with themselves.
But now Xiao Li says that its death has something to do with them!
"Yes, it does." Xiao Li flipped his right palm, and a sky-blue planet was projected on it, his hands were level, and the two planets were displayed in front of everyone equally, "The distance between the Earth and the Lizard Star is too close, so close that it is only 4.2 light years. ”
"Maybe in our eyes, 4.2 light years is a very long way away, but in the eyes of the alien civilization that attacked the lizard star, 4.2 light years is actually just a blink of an eye."
With a casual flip of the palm, the image of a sci-fi space battleship appeared in the sky above the two planets, and it launched an attack on the Lizard Star, followed by a second round of attacks on Earth.
This scene immediately attracted a burst of exclamations, and even a reporter directly asked, "You mean that aliens will attack us?" ”
"It's possible." Xiao Li added two words in front of the reporter's words, "Aliens may attack us." ”
"But ......."
After a pause, "This one is probably very high. ”
"You may not know, but in fact, the lizard civilization has long been aware that the anomalous change in Proxima Centauri's gravity is coming from an attack by some unknown alien."
With a snap, a lizard projected at Xiao Li's feet, and as soon as he appeared, he spoke, "Hello earthlings, I am the lizard number three of the lizard civilization, and I have come to prove that our lizard civilization has been attacked by an unknown civilization." ”
"Here, I warn you to be careful of unknown civilizations, which have attacked us and will attack you as well."
Wow......
The audience was in an uproar, they could not believe what Xiao Li said, but they couldn't disbelieve what the lizardman's intelligent program said, not because Xiao Li's reputation was not enough, but simply because the lizardman was the party.
What the person said is always extraordinarily convincing.
Xiao Li didn't give them much time to think, he had to pour everything he wanted to say into their minds in a short period of time, so that they could be convinced.
Because the speed of the human brain is limited, when too much impact information is received in a moment, the human brain will be extremely sluggish, and it is extremely easy to speak at this time.
"I wonder if anyone knows about the Fermi Paradox?"
"Yes."
"I know."
"Of course I do."
The following immediately boiled, how could they not know such a famous paradox as the Fermi paradox.
"In China, there is a science fiction novel that is particularly popular."
Everyone wondered, why did it suddenly become related to science fiction?
"In this science fiction novel, the author describes a very cruel universe, and in this universe, there is a law called the Dark Forest."
"Dark Forest."
"In the dark forest, any civilization has only one choice, which is to hide itself and fight others."
"And this theory also explains the 'where are the aliens' in Fermi's paradox, which tells us that the aliens are all hidden, and they are all preparing to strike at the enemy who reveals their coordinates."
"And why did the lizard civilization suffer? Because they expose their coordinates, thus attracting the blow of a malicious civilization. ”
"A civilization whose coordinates are exposed must be observed by many civilizations, and even if 99 percent of these civilizations are well-intentioned, it will be a huge disaster."
"Because catastrophe never depends on the majority, but on a civilization, or even an individual."
"This is the cruel dark forest, which is also the root cause of the attack on the lizard civilization, which is an important factor in the establishment of the Dyson sphere."
