Chapter XXVI

In the Gliese 581 galaxy, which is 24 light-years away from the centaur star, the light of the Gliese 581 star shines quietly on the star Sidney, and it is a refreshing breakfast, Dr. Hilbert's original trip today is to go to his own research institute to improve the nuclear fission model he proposed, if his theory is true, maybe he can let civilization get rid of the embarrassing situation of relying on coal and oil, which will run out of chemical energy sooner or later, and make civilization enter the era of using atomic energy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although his theory was not favorable, Dr. Hilbert insisted that his theory was correct.

But some sudden bad news made Dr. Hilbert, who was eating breakfast at home, unable to sit still.

The doctor contacted his own research institute, told his subordinate scientists that he would not be coming today, and then rushed to the National Academy of Sciences in his new-generation methane eco-friendly car with a black face.

Because the National Academy of Sciences of China intends to conduct an experiment today that it has been strongly opposing.

Arriving at the gate of the Academy of Sciences, Dr. Hilbert didn't care about finding a suitable parking spot for his car, so he hurried in, because the doctor himself was also a veteran of the Academy of Sciences, so he was not hindered along the way, so he came to a newly built facility in the residence of the Academy of Sciences, countless scientific researchers were busy with green, and some of them were doing the final debugging work on the console.

This base was originally used to receive and transmit signals from satellites in orbit on the planet, but it could also be used in other ways if necessary.

"What's going on!? Ethel! Isn't this plan already frozen!? ”

Before Dr. Hilbert could step onto the console, angry questions reached everyone on the console, and some of them looked back at Hilbert, who had arrived angrily, and continued to work.

Someone on the console stood up from his seat, the vice-president of the Academy of Sciences and the head of the program, Dr. Ethel.

Looking at Hilbert, who walked in angrily, Ethel, who had long expected this scene, smiled slightly and said.

"Ciel, don't be in a hurry, sit down and rest, let's talk slowly."

"it! Hurry up and order to stop the experiment immediately! ”

Hilbert didn't seem to buy it, glaring at the smiling Ethel, if it weren't for his sanity and good academic cultivation to control his body, he would have punched the guy in front of him in the face.

"Stop? Yes, but the permission for this plan was passed in Congress, and if you want to stop it, you just have to apply to Congress. ”

"What a fart! Kick me less ball! Is it too late? Stop it now! ”

Hilbert stood in front of Ethel and yelled, squirting Ethel with saliva, but Ethel was not annoyed, took out a tissue to wipe his face, and continued to smile.

"Ciel, it's not that we deliberately hide it from you, it's just that you really shouldn't be so complacent~ For the development of civilization, isn't communication necessary?"

"So you're going to send super powerful radio waves into space to contact aliens!? Did you know that this is likely to make us doom!? Bastard! ”

Hilbert grabbed Ethel by the collar and yelled angrily, Ethel smiled awkwardly and said.

"Look at what you said, don't you know how much scientific and technological strength our civilization has, and how far can the radio waves we emit can travel? Is there a 0.1 light year? Do you really think you can be received by other civilizations? ”

"Fill me with less garlic! Don't think you're the only one who knows about the amplification of stars! The previous experiments of emitting radio waves at the star have proven that when the emission power exceeds a threshold, the star can amplify the radio waves hundreds of millions of times! ”

Ethel's expression stiffened slightly, and his originally smiling expression slowly converged.

"How did you know about my experiments?"

"Don't worry about how I know! Hurry up and abort this experiment first! ”

In the face of Hilbert's angry yelling, Ethel's face slowly turned cold, and he grabbed Hilbert's hands that were holding his collar, slowly broke them open, and said lightly.

"Hilbert, pay attention to your position, and at the same time pay attention to the legitimacy of this plan, I am the vice president of the Central Academy of Sciences, and this plan was also voted on in the Congress, you have no reason or power to tell me to stop!"

"Those stupid politicians in Congress only care about their own interests, and the hell knows what you promised them!?"

Ethel's face was completely gloomy, and he looked at Hilbert, who was still angry, in a cold tone.

"Are you going to see me in the Supreme Court? Such a false accusation has exceeded my bottom line. ”

"I don't know who you are!? Bastard, tell you, if you don't stop this experiment now, then we'll see you in the Supreme Court! ”

"Okay, I'll wait for the court to send me an invitation."

With that, Ethel ignored Hilbert and sat back in his place to get back to work. Hilbert was slightly stunned, randomly angry, picked up Ethel, and yelled.

"Do you even know what you're doing!? If you really receive our message from some malicious higher civilization, you are a civilized sinner! ”

In the face of Hilbert's roar, Ethel's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said.

"Let it go."

"You stop the experiment for me first!"

Hilbert didn't back down, and Ethel grabbed Hilbert and held his hand, and said coldly.

"One last time, let go!"

"I won't let it go!"

Immediately, Ethel punched Hilbert in the face, causing Hilbert to take a few steps back and sit on the ground.

"Idiot! You've always been like that! Do you always think you're right!? Do you think alien civilizations are so easy to contact!? And if we really hit the big luck and contact some high-level alien civilization, it will only be good for us, no harm! ”

The people working around saw this conflict and stood up one by one, but this was a conflict of ideas between the two elders, and it was not easy for them to intervene.

"Do you know how far away the nearest galaxy is to us? It's 17 light years! 17 light years! Do you think there really will be such a ridiculous scene as an alien attack!? Even if they could build space warships, where would they get the energy to travel so far? If you want the army to come over, you think you have to empty the resources of several planets to do it!? ”

"Furthermore, even if there are some extraterrestrial civilizations that have means of interstellar travel that we don't know about, the cost of that kind of travel must be enormous! In the eyes of that civilization, we are no different from slimes that have not evolved! Would you go all the way to the forest to catch a slime that greets you, just to take the food from its mouth!? Idiot! ”

In the face of Ethel's roar, Hilbert, who had replied a little, slowly stood up, and with the support of others, looked directly at Ethel opposite, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then kicked Ethel who was yelling in front of him, and Ethel, who had been engaged in scientific research for a long time and neglected exercise, was kicked back into the chair.

"You're an idiot! Do you think that the only basic chemical energy of the planet is coal and oil? My model of nuclear fission tells me that if we can fully grasp the energy of nuclear fission, interstellar travel will never be a dream! And do you think an alien civilization is you? You know what other people think!? ”

"Don't give me your disgusting fission model! I admit that the energy output is very large, but the nuclear radiation is also very large, okay!? How many of your scientists died under the radiation!? Can that kind of thing really be put into use!? Are you trying to destroy our home planet!? ”

Not to be outdone, both of them yelled, and almost had to fight again, but they were pulled away by the people around them. But both of them are undoubtedly a little out of control, and others can't hold it back.

"Stop!"

A voice full of majesty sounded from the side, the figures of the two paused slightly, and many scientific researchers stood up and saluted in the direction from which the voice came.

"Dean!"

"Dean Mormington!"

The person who came was the president of the Central Academy of Sciences, Dr. Molmington, he frowned and looked at the two veteran scientific figures who were still holding back by others who were a little out of control, he already knew about the conflict here on the way here, but he didn't expect that two scientists with extremely high cultivation would fight like riffraff.

"Dean, it's just in time! Abort this experiment! ”

Hilbert was the first to break free from everyone's restraints, and Bloomington frowned slightly, looked at Hilbert, and said with a sigh for a long time.

"Hilbert, why are you against this experiment?"

"I'm not against it, I just know that in the history of our civilization, every weak and small country that rashly came into contact with a strange and powerful country eventually perished!"

Rising sighed deeper, walked up to Hilbert, and straightened Hilbert's messy clothes with his hands.

"Hilbert, your achievements in science are undoubted, but your thinking is really too conservative, not to mention whether we can contact an extraterrestrial civilization, even if we do? Do you really think that extraterrestrial civilizations can be more technologically advanced than us? This time, we borrowed the radio wave amplification effect of the star to emit radio waves far beyond the level of civilization we should have, and we were frightened by aliens. ”

"Dean! But ......"

"Nothing."

Bloomington patted Hilbert on the shoulder and smiled.

"Our estimated age of the universe is 13.8 billion years, and our planet was formed 4 billion years ago, which means that we are likely to be one of the first batch of intelligent creatures born in the universe, and our civilization has also developed very rapidly, it only took a thousand years to enter the electronic age from the steam age, plus your current theory, maybe we may still enter the atomic age, in my opinion, even if our civilization is not the highest, but it must also be in the category of advanced civilization!"

"It's not that I don't know what you're talking about, it's just that the universe really won't be that simple! I think that there is an absolute civilization that is far more civilized than ours! If we really connect with such a civilization, if the other party is aggressive, we will really be in a desperate situation! ”

Hilbert said anxiously, but Bloomington's face sank slightly.

"Do you have no faith in our civilization?"

"How so? I just ......"

Hilbert choked and could no longer speak, Bloomington took a deep look at him, patted Hilbert on the shoulder, and under Hilbert's begging gaze, turned away.

"The experiment continues."

With such a voice, Moonton disappeared at the end of the corridor, and Ethel, who was sitting back in his seat, glanced at Hilbert, who was standing in disappointment, and snorted coldly.

"Even if the kind of advanced civilization you said really exists, the possibility of our contact is infinitely close to zero, and even if it does, the degree of civilization is directly proportional to the cultivation of intelligent creatures, if there is really that kind of civilization, there will definitely be more noble values and moral standards in that civilized society, and the aggressiveness you are talking about is only because your character is not very good."

"What nonsense are you talking about!?"

"Am I talking nonsense?"

Ethel snorted even more coldly, turning his head away from Hilbert.

"At least I won't let my wife die under the radiation of the nuclear experiment, and I shouldn't have handed Lena over to you in the first place."

Ethel's words made Hilbert like a lightning strike, he took a few steps back and almost didn't stand firm, the experimenters on the side immediately supported him, Hilbert raised his head, glanced at Ethel's back, and seemed to want to say something, but his lips moved but he couldn't say anything, sighed deeply, turned around, and walked away a little lost.

Ethel didn't look back at Hilbert's back and continued to finish his work, until someone next to him told him that the preparations were complete, and he woke up from his trance and saw the information that had been sorted out, and there was such a paragraph on the display screen in front of him.

"Dear neighbors, hello, we are a civilization that lives near you, you can call us the Sidney civilization, we live on the Sidney star in the [Gliese 581 Galaxy] (galaxy map representation), this is the first time we try to contact our neighbors, we very much hope to establish a deep friendship with you, for the common development of civilization, we can have a lot of scientific exchanges in the future, I hope ............ If you can hear it, I hope you will answer us and let us know that the universe is not alone. Your loyal neighbor, Sidney civilization. ”

Ethel's finger landed on the launch button, but he seemed to hesitate for a moment, removing the galaxy map that indicated [Gliese 581] on this message, and then pressed the launch button.

On this day, the first audible cry of the Sidney civilization into space, centered on the Gliese 581 star, the speed of light swept through the orbit of the Sidney star, and the strong radio waves of the stellar power, like a majestic wave, rushed out of the Gliese 581 galaxy and flew towards the entire universe......

Gliese 581, at the moment in that band, is the brightest star in the whole galaxy.
