Chapter 21: The Solution to Fermi's Paradox

Alfred calmed down after a few minutes, because Lu Yuanming asked him a question.

"Can you still connect with the physical world?"

Alfred was speechless, and after a long time, he actually began to cry.

When Alfred calmed down, Lu Yuanming called the managers in the organization......

It also made him strange that these whites, and a few blacks, did not obey anyone themselves, except for guns and violence, but once they were integrated into the organization, they immediately followed those who claimed to be his disciples, and now the managers of the organization except for the original disciples, only Charlie was the only exception.

At this time, Lu Yuanming took his disciples and Charlie to face Alfred in the vault.

Alfred was eating and drinking at this time, and after eating two loaves of bread and a whole bottle of mineral water in a row, he patted his chest and said, "I almost starved to death...... Damn MXG guys, Nader's walls should have been erected completely!! ”

Father Edward smiled and said, "Mr. Alfred, would you like to have some more?" ”

Alfred shook his head and said, "No, the supplies are not easy to come by...... So now, are you willing to tell me what that scam is? Let me guess first...... You've gone out of the city!? And then came back alive from the outside? And I was lucky enough to encounter the grave pile of other civilizations, and found tools that could be used in the dark matter world, right!? ”

The amount of information in these words was so great that everyone was at a loss, they looked at Lu Yuanming, and Lu Yuanming also spread his hands inexplicably. I couldn't figure out what Alfred meant by what he said.

And the appearance of everyone was a kind of deception in Alfred's eyes, and he immediately said to Edward dissatisfied: "Father, we are old friends, and we have been friends for more than thirty years, so you won't hide and deceive me, right?" ”

Father Edward immediately smiled bitterly, and he made a cross on his chest, and then said to Alfred: "Mr. Alfred, I swear by my faith, by my Father in heaven, by Jesus Christ, by the Messiah, that what I say is what I have seen with my own eyes, and that it is true, and that this one beside me is the Messiah of this last time, and at the same time the ......."

Alfred interrupted him with a direct wave of his hand: "About faith and religion, we have discussed it too many times in the past few decades, you know that my family has been Puritan for generations, and I am also a devout believer who will come to church every week, but we have all come to the conclusion of whether the gods exist or not, the gods exist in the spiritual sense, and so does faith, which gives us morality and a destiny, so there is nothing wrong with this, but now we are talking about all mankind and the survival of human civilization!" ”

Then Alfred said directly to Lu Yuanming: "Asian boy, I know that you are the person who was pushed out of the table by them, but it is definitely not you who made the decision, uh, it is estimated that you are tall and strong, and you look powerful and intimidating, so you were pushed out, right?" But now, please let the one or those people behind the scenes come out and talk to me about the next thing, I'm not joking with you, it's about us and the survival of human civilization. ”

Lu Yuanming smiled bitterly, stopped the angry disciple and Charlie who was about to draw a gun, he took two steps forward and said: "This gentleman, get to know him, Lu Yuanming, a native of country Z, is not Chinese, nor Asian, but from country Z." ”

Alfred was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Black household...... It doesn't matter, the green card is easy to handle, as long as you can ......"

Speaking of this, Alfred smiled bitterly and said, "Now there is no such thing, you can continue." ”

Lu Yuanming told Alfred all about his origins, his abilities, and all those who had told Father Edward about them.

The more Alfred listened, the more strange his face became, and when he heard it all, he said directly: "Impossible, you are lying, how is this possible?" The drama of traveling through time and space is coming, when do you say your original time and space? ”

"In July 2023, I became a vegetative state, and then I was stuck in the dark, at least for five or six months, and I don't know exactly what month and day I crossed." Lu Yuanming said very sincerely.

"No...... Wait a minute, in five or six months from July 2023......"

Alfred showed a cautious expression on his face, and then he looked at Lu Yuanming carefully, Lu Yuanming still looked at each other with an honest gaze, and Alfred immediately said, "That little ...... Mr. Lu, the next time you return to the mortal world, can I take a look at it live? ”

"Okay." Lu Yuanming said with a smile.

Then Father Edward stepped forward and said, "Mr. Alfred, is it up to you to answer our questions?" Or do you think those are so-called state secrets, and if you say them, they will cause social unrest or something, and you still keep silent here? ”

Alfred shook his head and said, "There are more than 100 people here, and there is a ghost in social turmoil...... That happened in late January 2024, and I remember when I got the news, it was January 31......"

Lu Yuanming chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and he instinctively felt that what Alfred was going to say next was very important to him.

"In the Super Kamiokande Probe of Little Day, they discovered dark matter." Alfred continued.

Alfred saw that everyone showed puzzled expressions, and he said disapprerovitically: "I didn't know what it was before, but I found out after reading the information that it was a scientific device placed one thousand meters underground in the mine, with 50,000 tons of pure water in it, and then there were various cutting-edge observation instruments, which are a scientific instrument used to detect neutrinos, and in late January 2024, the researchers there reported upwards that they were likely to have found dark matter." ”

"Wait a minute." Aung immediately raised his hand and said, "Mr. Alfred, as far as I know, dark matter is still a theoretical hypothesis, right?" At present, there are several known properties of dark matter, first, except for gravity, dark matter basically does not interact with other forces, and almost does not interact with photons, second, dark matter is highly stable, and is even considered to be non-decaying, non-decomposing, and not changing, and the above two points have represented that dark matter is almost not something that can be explored at our current scientific level, which is actually just a fire dragon in the garage, even if there is really dark matter captured by the Super Kamiokande detector, it is completely impossible for them to discover it. ”

Alfred smiled wryly and said, "Yes, it should have been, but the researchers there discovered dark matter by accident, and they also discovered something that can interact with dark matter......

"What is it?!" Ang immediately became interested and hurriedly asked.

Alfred recalled: "In late January 2024, there were more than 30 people who committed mass suicide in a field that happened to be not far from the Super Kamiokande probe, and then the researchers saw the soul for the first time, and we also knew for the first time that the soul, no, it should only be the soul of intellectual life that can interact with dark matter." ”

Alfred paused, waiting for the crowd to absorb the information before he said, "Do you know what an amazing discovery this is?" Dark matter or something, not to mention, this is a discovery of the century in itself, if it is true, it is enough to pull science that has been stagnant for half a century forward a lot, the key is the soul, do you know how many billionaires in the world are going to die? Do you know how many people in positions of power aspire to live a long life and even live forever? Do you know how much we want to know what the world is like after death when we all realize that death is inevitable? ”

"So, at the end of January 2024, we got the entire Super Kamiokande probe back to the United States intact and placed it in the underground secret research base in New York, conducting various studies on dark matter and souls."

At this point, Alfred fell into a kind of trance, and after a long time he suddenly asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you really think that souls should exist?" ”

Father Edward said: "Now is the evidence, so I have no doubt. ”

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement, only Ang carefully glanced at Lu Yuanming, and then said: "I personally think that the existence of the soul itself is unreasonable, first of all, we humans can think, because we have the brain as the carrier of thinking, no matter where the concept of 'me' comes from, at least without the hardware of a biological supercomputer like the brain, we humans can't even think, and after becoming a soul, where is the carrier of our thinking?" And where does the energy consumed come from? This in itself is illogical. ”

Alfred smiled and said, "Your statement is exactly the same as what Dr. Tang Zhe'an said. ”

Tang Zhe'an...... You mean the super math genius who was short-lived a decade ago and is said to have an unprecedented IQ of 260? Didn't he get into a car accident? Aung asked curiously.

Alfred's smile froze, and he coughed, "Let's move on to the soul...... Therefore, theoretically speaking, the soul should not exist, unless at the same time as the death of a person, all its information will be reconstituted with the basic particles that have not yet been discovered by human beings and cannot be detected, and this particle cannot be a single one, but similar to the particle model of the material world that we are familiar with, only in this way can the theoretical thing of the soul appear......"

Ang said thoughtfully: "So, the moment a person dies, the human soul leaves the body, and then enters the dark matter world from the material world, then this dark matter world is not the afterlife?" ”

"No!"

Alfred sneered and said, "Through that piece of dark matter, we have found that there will be no dark matter on the earth before January 2024!" All people are dead when they die, and even if they have souls, they will disappear and completely dissipate the moment they leave the body! Only through that piece of dark matter, within 10,000 meters of its perimeter, will the soul appear and enter the dark matter level. ”

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding why Alfred showed a sneering but frightened look, and Alfred said again: "And through the study of this piece of dark matter, we found that dark matter is not so much interacting with the soul as with consciousness, and through the existence of dark matter, we have even uncovered the source of the observer effect on quantum mechanics, unlocked the secret of double-slit interference, etc., and at the same time, many rich people who learned the news began to invest secretly, Then I hope that after death, I can transform my soul into the dark matter plane...... Everything is going for the better, and it only took a year, just when we were going to make the big picture and make the country great again, that piece of dark matter got bigger, and at the same time we found traces of dark matter in many places in New York, then in many places in the United States, and then in many places around the world, and at the same time, those things began to appear......"

Lu Yuanming immediately asked, "Is it a curse?" And those monsters that can't be killed? ”

Alfred was silent for a long time before nodding, and then he suddenly asked, "You all know about the Fermi paradox, right?" ”

Only Lu Yuanming, Ang, Father Edward, Dr. Cthun, and Teacher Martha nodded their heads, and the rest of them were at a loss.

Lu Yuanming also spoke: "Where are they?" Is this it? ”

"yes, that's it." Alfred said blankly: "The universe has been born for so long, more than 13 billion years, during which it only took us humans hundreds of thousands of years to reach the civilization that can launch spaceships, those aliens who were born hundreds of millions of years earlier than us, billions of years, why haven't they come to the earth yet?" ”

"The answer has come out, because all intelligent civilizations, in the process of their development, as the number of deaths increases, the more dark matter will appear on their planets, and when they reach a critical point, the entire planet, even the surrounding planets that have been colonized, or the remnants of the race that try to escape in spaceships, will all be dragged into the dark matter level because of the resonance attraction of the soul."

"And this kind of drag is dragged in with all the known matter, I don't know if you have read the three-body problem, I like a science fiction novel of country Z very much, which describes a weapon of an alien civilization, called a two-way foil, which can reduce the three-dimensional world to a two-dimensional world, which is an irreversible dimensionality reduction, and will spread to the entire universe at the speed of light, unfortunately, we will inevitably face the civilization when we encounter it." The two-way foil', the dimensionality reduction of dark matter caused by death, also spreads to the entire universe at the speed of light. ”

Everyone was stunned, even those who didn't understand science were chilled when they heard it, and then Ang suddenly said loudly: "Cosmic void and super void!?" ”

Alfred was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Yes, Dr. Tang Zhe'an did say these words. ”

Ang immediately explained to Lu Yuanming, who still didn't understand: "There are several hypotheses about how our universe was born, the most successful of which is the Big Bang, and no matter which assumption it is, as long as the universe is born naturally, then the stars and galaxies in the universe must be arranged according to the laws of nature, although they are not absolutely uniform, but it is unlikely that there will be absolute density and absolute voids, but in fact, there are many voids in our universe, as well as the so-called supervoids, The largest one, I remember, was that the space was more than a billion light-years empty, and there wasn't a single star in it, which was impossible unless ......"

Lu Yuanming took Ang's words and said, "Unless it's all turned into dark matter, right?" ”

Alfred waited until everyone fell silent before he said: "And this is the fate of our human beings and human civilization, as well as the entire earth, the solar system, and the future of the galaxy, from the material world to the dark matter world, everything ......."

"Gone, humanity died, human civilization died, and then there was ...... The universe also died together. ”
