Chapter 215 The Communication of Cosmic Civilizations
Before the last century, human exploration of extraterrestrial civilizations was first to satisfy a kind of curiosity.
For an unknown thing, we always try every means to uncover its mysterious veil. Human beings seem so small compared to the vast universe. Therefore, to a certain extent, the exploration of extraterrestrial civilizations is actually a process of exploring human civilization itself.
In addition to satisfying curiosity, exploring extraterrestrial civilizations will also provide many conveniences for the development of mankind:
1. If we can discover more advanced civilizations, then it can obviously provide a good reference model for the development of human civilization, so that our development process can avoid many detours;
2. The continuous and rapid population growth has made it increasingly difficult for the earth to support huge energy consumption, and problems such as ecological environment have greatly affected people's healthy lives. Even if there is no crisis on the earth, there may be a day when the earth becomes no longer suitable for living. Exploring extraterrestrial civilizations will be the only way for us to carry out interstellar immigration, and perhaps we will also receive assistance from extraterrestrial civilizations.
Although humans have never stopped exploring the universe, humans have always wanted to find intelligent life in outer space and hope to communicate with it for mutual benefit. However, many famous scientists advocate that the earth's civilization should not take the initiative to contact aliens, should not take the initiative to find them, and should even make every effort to avoid contact with them.
Most people believe that, like the Earth civilization, high-level aliens also have the idea of conquering and colonizing all the planets they can reach. Therefore, aliens with stronger ranks than us are likely to rob the Earth's resources and then leave, and humans actively seek to contact them is "a bit too risky."
This is similar to Christopher Columbus's arrival in the American continent. Columbus's arrival is not just a good thing for the local Indians, it is simply a disaster.
But at present, it is the autumn of life and death of the earth's civilization, human exploration of extraterrestrial civilization has become an imminent task.
As early as a century ago, a large number of scientists, philosophers and sociologists have discussed the possibility of communication between us and cosmic civilizations.
Compared with the communication between human individuals, the communication between countries and nations, communication and exchanges between different cosmic civilizations need to at least cross huge barriers such as race, ultra-long distance and differences in scientific and technological levels.
Therefore, this must be a very complex issue, and it cannot be roughly divided into the categories of good intentions or malicious intentions, or wars or peace.
Yuan Shichen once thought about this issue.
In his opinion, the contact between different cosmic civilizations may not be a situation where one dies, success or failure.
At least, the alien doctor in the Creator's civilization world gave Yuan Shichen great confidence.
"We are so lonely in this vast universe. So, my scientific team hopes to light up the life fire of nearby habitable planets before leaving this star system."
From the words of the alien doctor, Harashichen can realize his kindness to other civilized creatures.
Indeed, when survival resources are limited, or when there are irreconcilable contradictions or competitive relationships in the development of two cosmic civilizations, finally moving to war is their only way. This is a bit like the continuous and endless struggles between countries and nations on the earth a thousand years ago.
However, when a cosmic civilization develops to an extremely high stage, perhaps they no longer worry about the basis for the sustainable development of civilization. In this case, unless this civilization is cruel and bloodthirsty, it is difficult to understand the reason why they must bully another weak cosmic civilization.
Just like a rich man, even if he is unwilling to donate generously to a beggar, he will definitely not rob the food in the beggar's bowl.
Unless he is a pervert!!
There is also such logic across races, just like we humans advocate protecting wild animals and raising pets.
However, we must also acknowledge the consequences of some extreme changes, such as when you and your beloved pet pig are trapped in the wilderness, and when you encounter the threat of life, you are very likely to make a decision to turn your beloved pet pig into a life delicacy.
Therefore, we can assume that an extremely advanced cosmic civilization will eliminate several stars in the Milky Way to obtain the resources they want. If the number of stars is not particularly large, they will have a large number of stars to choose from. I really can't think of a reason why they have to target the weak Earth civilization to destroy the solar system.
Of course, if a cosmic civilization is unparalleled, their goal is to harvest the entire Milky Way, then under such circumstances, the solar system will definitely be unable to escape the fate.
However, this will be a problem in another category.
Because there is no basis for communication with them, and there is even no need for communication.
I believe that when you walk, you will definitely not notice the ant under your feet that may be trampled to death by you.
The gap in the level of civilization development is within a limited range (it is unknown how to define this range). Perhaps this is the prerequisite for communication and exchange between different cosmic civilizations.
"Is there a universal civilizational principle in the entire universe?"
Yuan Shichen once imagined:
[In the vast universe, the corresponding "Cosmic Civilization Code" has been signed between the cosmic civilizations at the top of technology. The reason why the earth's civilization knows nothing is perhaps because we are too weak to reach this level. And it is precisely because of the existence of this "Cosmic Civilization Code" that ensures that a weak civilized world like the earth's civilization can develop freely in the vast universe. Just like humans formulated the "Wildlife Protection Law", this time, the role of humans is a ignorant wild animal.]
This day happened to be the fourth year that the Future spacecraft left Earth.
Fortunately for Harashi-Chen and others, the Future spacecraft was equipped with an artificial gravity system.
Otherwise, under the attack of microgravity environment and multiple long-term dormancy, their physical health must have collapsed long ago.
As Dr. Mingqi said, Yuan Shichen already clearly felt that every time he experienced 11 months of dormancy, his health level would be severely weakened.
Although, during the adjustment period after each awakening, they will strictly carry out scientific rest, exercise and nutritional intake according to the plan, this can only relieve the damage and cannot eliminate the harm.
After the influence of the strange meteorite energy, Yuan Shichen's physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary people. Even so, he can still feel the adverse effects of long-term dormancy on his health.
The situation of Smith and Lynn is much worse. This is the fourth awakening. Compared with the situation when they first woke up, the time required for them to recover from awakening to their normal movement has been extended by 220%.
Because Harashi Chen was the first to wake up in these few times, Smith didn't notice the gap between him and Harashi Chen.
