After listening to the music box, everyone present was a little depressed, whether it was aliens or not, no matter how long this civilization had passed, and whether it had anything to do with human beings, but the story left in this music box, the fear of a little girl when civilization was about to be destroyed, fear, and the voice of her father, still made everyone present feel heavy and uncomfortable and wanted to yell a few times.

It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that Yao Yuan said: "Okay, everyone clean up your feelings, this is likely to be a message hundreds of thousands of years ago, maybe even earlier, although it is really uncomfortable, but this is not an excuse for us to be low-willed...... If you don't want this to happen to us humans, then go research this music box. ”

Yao Yuan looked at the many scientists and said, "First of all, I want to confirm, what can we get from this music box?" Please use your imagination and try to tell me all the value of this music box. ”

After Yao Yuan's words fell, one of the scientists stood up and said: "Captain, the value of this music box is actually no worse than the value of weapon systems, engine systems, or storage chips...... First of all, this music box has a super strong battery. ”

"I don't know how many years ago a music box, and it has its own recording, playback, choose the surname voice control, etc., and its power supply can still run, this is a super storage capacity battery, and the volume is definitely not large, in fact, after we got this music box, we imagined the lights on those battleship fragments, why so many years later, the lights on those battleship fragments are still running?"

Yao Yuan looked at the music box again, and then he said: "Yes, the battery power system is small in size, but the energy that can be stored at one time is very large, which is a leap in science and technology...... What else? Other R&D results. ”

Another scientist also seemed to be emotionally mobilized and woke up from that low state, and he also said excitedly: "Captain, there are also small computer programs, in fact, we humans also have a lot of sound control technology, but unless it is on a computer program, or connected to various instruments such as a computer program, the sound control can be as detailed as someone's voice, or specific to the clapping, a certain word and other controllable tones, if it is ordinary sound control technology such as light switches, music box opening, etc., it is only the size of the sound." ”

The scientist pointed to the music box and said: "In fact, we have conducted a lot of experiments on this music box, it is not controlled by any volume, including the clapping sound simulated by the mouth or machinery, only to clap in front of it, so that it can start on its own, which has involved the problem of sound control program, in other words, there is a computer in this fist-sized thing, and it is a computing instrument that is no less than our human home or laptop-sized computer!" ”

Yao Yuan also looked at the music box carefully, the whole music box is only the size of a child's fist, much smaller than an adult's fist, in such a small thing, in addition to a music device, sound recording device, and sound playback device, there is actually a computer system that can recognize the specific face-to-face clapping, until now, Yao Yuan's mood suddenly improved.

"Sure enough, it is much higher than our human technology, but it seems to be ......" Yao Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then he said: "But it seems that these technologies are the future that we can imagine, not like that...... Ahem, it's not as unimaginable as space jumps and anti-gravity systems. ”

Yao Yuan was going to say the word flying saucer, but he suddenly found that many of these scientists in front of him did not know the existence of flying saucers, so he immediately changed his words and hid the word flying saucer, only mentioning the two creations of space transition and anti-gravity system.

In this group of scientists, another girl came out, but it was Polly, she glanced at Yao Yuan casually, those beautiful eyes seemed to say that Yao Yuan almost violated the confidentiality regulations, which made Yao Yuan really embarrassed, on the surface serious and serious, but still coughed several times.

Polly then said: "And this music box, we can also study through its manufacturing structure, shell material, internal circuit structure, etc., by the way, there is also the piece of metal that the captain brought back, it is an ultra-light alloy, but the hardness and toughness are more than any metal known to mankind, and the melting point is extremely high, we have melted a small layer of the alloy through plasma heating technology in the laboratory, although the various elements of the alloy have been analyzed, but we cannot make the alloy, Because there seems to be something wrong with the ordering of atoms inside that alloy. ”

Speaking of business, Yao Yuan also got out of the embarrassment, he thought about it carefully, and then said, "Then can you tell me through predictions?" The technology of this alien civilization is many years higher than that of us humans...... How many years is a bit inaccurate, because once a civilization has a technological explosion, it is likely to suddenly widen or narrow the distance with other civilizations, so can you predict it? This extraterrestrial civilization was in the midst of the first industrial revolutions. ”

"Fourth!"

"The end of the fourth!"

"Fourth Mid-to-Late ......"

"Approaching the Fifth Early ......"

After pondering for a moment, several scientists present said the above words, and basically all of them pointed to the same point, the technology of this alien civilization is about the middle and late stages of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, but it is definitely not to the level of the Fifth Industrial Revolution.

Although Yao Yuan has made up a lot of scientific and technological literature and most classics in the recent period, he is not a scientist after all, and understanding and understanding are completely different things, so he asked again: "Why are you so sure?" Is there such a big difference between the end of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the beginning of the Fifth Industrial Revolution? And it's just the Fourth Industrial Revolution...... Is it possible to build such a large group of starships? ”

At this time, the scientist led by Silewei stood up and said: "Captain, I think you have a misunderstanding here, that is, the misunderstanding of the industrial revolution...... First of all, I wonder if the captain knows a little? That is, the scientific and technological achievements of mankind in the 20th century and the 30s of the 21st century, which are more than 120 years old, are more than hundreds of times the scientific and technological achievements of thousands of years of human civilization combined! After the start of the third industrial revolution, in just a few decades, the scientific and technological achievements are more than dozens of times that of thousands of years of human civilization, plus the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution combined! ”

"The industrial revolution, or the scientific and technological revolution, is a kind of geometric multiple of the explosion of science and technology, not as simple as the theory of numbers, for example, the scientific evaluation number of the first industrial revolution is one, then the scientific evaluation number of the second industrial revolution cannot be two, it is likely to be twenty, two hundred, and when it reaches the third industrial revolution, this evaluation number may be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands!"

Celewei said with certainty: "Generally speaking, during a scientific outburst period, during the industrial revolution, if you want to predict the future of science and technology, you can basically only predict the technology of the next scientific outbreak, if the number of scientific outbreaks reaches two levels, this prediction will be greatly distorted, from scientific prediction to science fantasy, that is, science fiction!" ”

"Take the period of the first industrial revolution as an example, from the eighteenth century to the nineteenth century, it was impossible for people at that time to imagine the third industrial revolution, how we went to the moon, and it was impossible to imagine what a computer was, what biotechnology was, what genetically modified technology was, these were like myths to them, but on the contrary, many scientists at that time had a premonition of the results of the second industrial revolution, such as the generation of electricity, the application of electricity, and so on, which is evident. If you want to predict the future of science and technology with scientific basis, then at most you can only predict the next industrial revolution period, and you can't jump the era to predict the next two industrial revolution periods, which is science fiction! ”

When Celevi said this, he pointed to the music box with certainty: "Captain, this music box has opened a window for us, whether it is its power supply system, or its material structure, or its internal ultra-small computer system, all of these are still in the category of science and technology that we can understand, and they are all scientific achievements that can be achieved in the future, not like space jump and anti-gravity systems, not only can they not be understood, but they can't even be conjectured, and our human science and technology, However, it is in the middle and late stages of the Third Industrial Revolution, and has not yet touched the door of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in other words, this alien civilization should only be at the end of the Fourth Industrial Revolution! ”

When Yao Yuan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's the best...... In fact, I don't hide it from you, I've always been worried that the technology level of this alien civilization is much higher than that of our humans, just like the space jump and anti-gravity system, even if we humans get it, we can only use it reluctantly, maybe we can't even use it, I don't know why, then our human science and technology can't be improved at all, the most terrible thing is that when the technology of this alien civilization is too much higher than us, we want to enter the fragments of the largest warship, it will be a terrifying death-seeking behavior, Maybe any defense system can crush us to death. ”

"But now after listening to you say so surely, I finally let go of most of my worries, the scientific and technological level of this civilization is not much higher than ours, once we get their technology, then we human beings will enter the fourth industrial revolution, the period of scientific explosion, for our human survival in the universe has a qualitative leap, followed by we can also safely enter it, safely get scientific and technological achievements."

When Yao Yuan said this, he exhaled violently, and then resolutely said: "Tomorrow the operation continues, continue to search the outer ruins area, and your research will continue, and find a few more creations that can determine the technological scope of alien civilizations......"

"Let's get into the first piece of battleship shard!"
