Chapter 300: Alien Wars
In the book "The Three-Body Problem", there used to be a law of the dark forest.
But there is a big loophole in this law of the dark forest - all civilizations in the universe are like hunters in the dark forest, keeping themselves silent. Once other alien civilizations are discovered, they will be wiped out without hesitation!
Is that true of the law of the dark forest?
But here, make no mistake! That's the hunter in the dark forest! Not a blind man in the dark forest! Don't they observe their surroundings while they remain silent? It's impossible to ignore everything and pretend to sleep with your head covered?
In that case, it will definitely launch a detection aircraft outward. In order to solve the problem of manned or captured, then no one!
In order to solve the problem of long range and service life, then intelligent automatic copying, the entire aircraft is an intelligent robot. Using the materials that can be obtained from planets or asteroids in the universe, it is constantly replicated from one to two, two to four......
If a habitable planet is found, it will either be moved, or observed for a long time, or simply destroyed. Make it impossible for local intelligent creatures to be born.
In case of contact with other extraterrestrial civilizations, a message is immediately sent and self-destructs. This allows you to detect the enemy in advance, and at the same time does not expose yourself......
According to this logic, first of all, we have to thank the aliens for their grace of not killing. Because the earth has long been discovered, it has long been destroyed.
Even if those extraterrestrial civilizations choose to observe for a long time, there should be dense alien vehicles over the earth, right?
All right! I won't pick the bones in the eggs here. After all, "The Three-Body Problem" is science fiction, and the universe can be self-consistent and logical, so that's enough.
For example, in science fiction, the famous "Three Laws of Robotics". But in reality, UAVs are already being used on a large scale in warfare. If you don't think it's smart enough? Isn't AI already being developed? AI will definitely be used on the battlefield in the future. That is a complete violation of the "Three Laws of Robotics"
So, it's certainly not possible in real life. But put it in...... It's so beautiful!
It can be seen that as long as the topic of aliens is concerned, many hot spots will definitely be created. Especially in the United States, they still have Area 51 or something.
After the talk show was broadcast, various media reported one after another: "Strange news! It turns out that glass created the current civilization! "Shock! He thinks there can be no aliens! 》……
To be honest, news like this is a small hot spot at best! In the big newspapers and tabloids in Europe and the United States, there are many bizarre remarks. It's true that you can get some traffic, but there's definitely no top-tier traffic.
However, at this moment, a professor from a prestigious university, Professor Norwen, quickly arrived, and argued fiercely: "The study of history requires long-term study, and we must be willing to endure boredom and loneliness. But now some young people are very disobedient, they think of themselves as entertainment stars, running around the media, making sensational and laughable opinions. Studying history to find out if there are aliens? I'm a straightforward man who doesn't fear offending people. Why don't some people study the history of the universe? A joke like a clown!"
"Professor Norwen, are you talking about someone?"
"That's him! In fact, he has a very good talent, a genius of a new generation of history. But he has been lost in a materialistic world, and I am personally not optimistic about his future."
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
In a word, he is obviously a very good historian, but he wants to be a talk show actor?"
"And what do you think of aliens? Do you think there are any aliens?"
"Do you need to ask? How can there be no other intelligent beings in this almost infinite universe? This is not my personal opinion, but the opinion of the vast majority of professors at our university. I don't understand the set of Hanhu Lake, so let's make it clearer! You think we don't know, you're hype! Someone is a clown! Joker!"
「……」
Norwen is the professor who appeared on "The American Tonight Show." He already had a great dislike for Li Yuan. was born to be the character of "Brother Yuan's sworn enemy".
Moreover, in European and American societies, professors are fundamentally different from politicians and other public figures, as long as they do not touch certain red lines, almost any controversy will not affect them.
In addition, a special scientific research grant of 50,000 US dollars, and a free ticket for a Caribbean vacation for the whole family. Now that I have received the benefits from Random House in private, I can just charge to spray people.
Of course, Li Yuan immediately replied: "I really think that the United States is a country of free speech, and I didn't expect that there would be an old antique like Professor Norwen. The saddest thing is that as the highest university, it is actually full of such a large number of goods? In order to maintain their original reputation and status, they have completely lost their courage and sharpness. They have become dust in the way, and it is up to us young people to sweep them into the dustbin of history!"
"What? Surely there are aliens? Also are they recognized? Why don't you show us an alien?"
"He's a rotten man! Rotten!"
「……」
MLGB!
When Professor Norwin saw this response, he felt his blood pressure rise. Don't say give me $50,000, I'll spray him to death if I pay $50,000!
Nothing to say! Professor Norwen squirted again......
Not surprisingly, Li Yuan also sprayed back again......
As the scolding war escalated, more and more people joined Professor Norwen's camp and began to besiege someone.
Among these people were Professor Norwen's relatives and friends, who had come to help; There are alien extremists, they ...... It's a bunch of neurotics anyway.
There are also a lot of people who bring their own dry food and take the initiative to argue with Li Yuan. Not every scholar or professor will be pure-hearted, and there are still many people who want to rub hot spots and attract attention.
All of a sudden, the media became a battlefield, and there was a miasma of smoke everywhere.
To be honest, the two topics of "glass" and "aliens" are nothing more than two niche popular science short videos that I watched in my previous life. Makes sense, right? It's also self-justifying. But it's guaranteed to be correct, right? Only God knows.
Arguments like this are in themselves justified by the public and mother-in-law being justified, and there is no standard answer at all.
But can't stand a large wave of scientists arguing? can't stand Li Yuan's snack.
At this time, watching the lively melon eaters and happy people are simply happy. Random House also "conformed to public opinion" and simultaneously distributed "The Rise of Great Powers" across the United States.
It should be said that a tome like "The Rise of a Great Power", which is a set of more than a dozen volumes, has been slowly abandoned by readers. The fast pace of life has led to the fact that the sales of similar masterpieces are not very high.
In other words, we all know that this kind of book is good, but we don't have time to read it?
Therefore, micro-historical works have gradually become popular, such as "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", which describes a certain period of history from a piece of history. It not only satisfies the hobbies of those historical readers, but also makes it easy to read.
In fact, the readership has always been there, but the reader's tastes have slowly changed!
But now there is a slap of bricks? All of a sudden, the popularity of "The Rise of a Great Power" was stirred. Even according to the convention of the European and American media, they gave the name "Alien Wars"?
As soon as it was released, the book rushed to the top 10 in the North American category.
And at this time, Random House took a hot iron, and Li Yuan also accepted an interview with reporters:
"Yuanger, what you call the concept of the history of science and technology, is this the first of your own coin?"
"Huh. It should be, right?"
"I heard that you are still the owner of a Hong Kong listed company? That public company has a market capitalization of more than $100 million?"
"Pretty much that?"
"We're curious, but you're a businessman? Or academics? That's a bit too big, isn't it?"
"What's the problem?"
"Can you tell us what kind of business that listed company does?"
"Beverage and liquor business. Now it's mineral water."
"Huh? I would venture to ask, is this your family's inheritance to you? Are you an inheritance?"
"Haha. Our family is a family of hunters from the mountains. Three years ago, our family's property ...... I don't think there's a thousand dollars!"
"Wow! A thousand dollars to a hundred million? You used it for three years? Can you tell us what is your secret to making a fortune?"
"Nothing, right? Didn't I keep saying that I'm a software engineer by profession, and writing books is my hobby?"
"Wait. Software engineer? Selling drinks? Is there any connection between that?"
"Oh! I almost forgot, I'm still the boss of the parallel!"
「MGD! Edge germ, parallel lines? Is that the parallel line you are talking about the one I know?"
"I guess that's how it should be! Huh."
"And ...... you?"
"Okay, okay! I'll just explain. My view of the history of science and technology comes from the present era, which is the upcoming industrial revolution, the third industrial revolution. This industrial revolution will take computer IT technology as the core and completely change our lives. And we will be the lucky generation that will witness history and even create it with our own hands. That's why I think – technology makes history!"
"The Third Industrial Revolution? Are you so optimistic?"
"Then we'll see! Huh."
"Yuanger, do you have anything else besides these?"
"I've also invested in the film and television industry, including a few films from Hollywood. I've also directed a film myself."
"Director? Lie down! Is this your hobby?"
"No comment! Hahaha!"
「……」
After the report was published, it immediately caused a sensation in the United States.
As for the term "glass", everyone has some brains - it is precisely because Yuan Ge is a technology maniac who founded a high-tech company parallel line, so he believes in Scientology and believes in the history of science and technology. In other words, it is to promote its own parallel line company.
Makes sense, right?
But what is even more eye-catching, a poor hunter in China, in just three years, has become the boss of a listed company? That Hong Kong listed company doesn't know! So you should know about the parallel lines, right? It's actually second only to Netscape and Yahoo, and those two are challenging Microsoft's existence!
As a result of the previous noise wars, the above companies have become household names. I didn't expect this edge to be silent, and he actually sneaked up to such a height? Not to mention the rest, at least he's already a billionaire, right?
The other is the cross-line of the edge ger. A software engineer for a while, a historian for a while, and a water seller for a while? Why did you go to be a director for a while?
This special mother is a talent! How many other has this soul done?
In an instant, Li Yuan became more popular than a book. But no matter how popular people are compared to books, it has also stimulated the sales of "The Rise of a Great Power". In the blink of an eye, the sales volume rushed to the second place in the category ranking!
It should have been introduced before, the hot news in North America, that is, the hot news in the world.
The alien war is in full swing, and the daimyo of Yuan Ge is also suddenly popular.
With the news reports of other countries, "The Rise of Great Powers" has successively achieved very good sales in Europe, books, Hong Kong and Taiwan and other countries. And slowly export to domestic sales, finally introduced
It has been reported by the domestic media.
Many people were taken aback - how could Brother Yuan, a hooligan bully, inexplicably go abroad?
Since "The Rise of a Great Power" was first published in China, after this period of fermentation, it also slowly aroused repercussions.
But I have to admit that because of the existence of anti-rogue coalitions in the cultural circle, and their collective smearing in the media, they did drive away a lot of readers before.
As a result, the existing readers are either loyal fans or die-hard fans of history books, and ordinary passers-by have relatively few fans.
However, with the influence of overseas media, it immediately attracted great attention.
Like the alien wars that appeared before, no matter how fierce the quarrel is, I still have a positive attitude towards the book "The Rise of Great Powers". is nothing more than accusing Li Yuan of being a "clown" with bad conduct.
But domestic readers see these contents? This period is the era of the whole people worshipping the ocean, and they are particularly superstitious about the statements of overseas media. As for the badly behaved clowns? Oh! It turned out to be that cultural hooligan, then no problem. (laughs and cries)
Come on! It's just such a birdman, if you don't say it, we know it!
Therefore, after seeing the report, it immediately attracted a large number of passers-by readers. They are quite curious, what kind of book will be praised and scolded by foreigners?
However, when more and more people watched it, "The Rise of a Great Power" finally caused a frenzy......
