Chapter 582: Cosmic Community, Cosmic Ring, Cosmic Domain
Professor Liu Qingshan paused and played several photos on the screen, "There are also the ruins of the Gbekli site, representing the Sumerian civilization faction; the ancient city of Jelico, representing the Mesopotamian faction, etc. These cultural circles were all born on the earth, and the civilizations derived belong to the same cosmic community."
"The Yuzhu Kingdom we encountered should be considered a member of the Sumerian faction. The Sumerians on Earth were almost extinct and the culture was not passed down, but the culture of the Yuzhu Kingdom was passed down. It is really impermanent."
"There are a lot of historical occasions, and the emergence of modern civilization is only a short moment. Therefore, it is normal for scientific and technological civilization to be sparse."
But no matter what, the Eastern cultural branches are a huge number of cultural branches, because among the ancient civilizations, only the Eastern branches have been passed down to the modern era.
Professor Liu also said: "Above the cosmic community, the concept of the cosmic ring, that is, the cultural roots are in the older Paleolithic Age. We have never encountered this kind of civilization that originated in the Paleolithic Age."
"Theoretically, there are far more civilizations in the cosmic ring than in the cosmic community, but we have never encountered them before. This is because we are on different historical lines. The common source is too early to prevent us from encountering them."
"Most space tides can only move in the same cosmic community, so we naturally cannot encounter these strange worlds."
"There may be a very small number of space tides that can move within the cosmic ring. According to the probability, it may be once a hundred years."
The cosmic ring is a larger concept, which can be considered as multiple different, almost parallel historical lines, with its origin point in the earlier Paleolithic age.
The period of historical forks occurred too early, so the historical lines of the universe-ring civilization can be considered parallel to each other, and naturally there will be no cultural commonality.
Even if there is, it is just a coincidence.
"If you shuttle through the Yin World Corridor, you may enter a larger cosmic ring. But you have to go a long way."
"Either it is through technical means to make space jumps."
"By the way, we also verified a business card that Lu Yiming and Guo Weiqiang once brought back. They met a group of blue-haired humans in the former 'hospital world'. One of them was a blue-haired girl who gave the business card to Guo Weiqiang, and a small amount of DNA remained on it."
Lu Yiming was stunned. This is a very, very long-standing story.
At that time, he was paralyzed in the blood demon disaster, and then entered the main god space for treatment and met the group of blue-haired people.
"...In the business card, we found a small number of epithelial cells. After DNA testing, we believed that the genetic structure of these humans was very different from that of normal people. They may be branches evolved from Neanderthals."
This news seemed a bit shocking.
It turns out how far the universe is so vast!
"But they should be considered humans, right?"
"So, the historical node of the same cosmic ring should be traced back to the Paleolithic Age, that is, three million years ago, and ten thousand years ago. To give a simple example, our branch evolved from Homo sapiens; humans on the cosmic ring may be from Homo erectus, Floris, Neanderthals, Thoreaus and Denisovans. Although they belong to the great sect of humanity, there are also obvious differences."
"It is even possible that reproductive isolation has occurred."
Of course, scientists do not clear whether reproductive isolation occurs, and it may be, or there may not be. There are currently a small number of Neanderthal genes in human genes. The Neanderthal genes in East Asians are higher than those in Europeans, and Africans basically do not have this gene.
Professor Liu was afraid that everyone would not understand, so he said, "Can you understand if I explain this way? There were at least 17 races in ancient times, or even more races! The history of each race can lead to a long river of time. Maybe in some parallel worlds, the Neanderthals defeated Homo sapiens and became the overlord of the earth. This possibility of course exists."
"But it is difficult for us to encounter this kind of civilization."
"Xia civilization is likely to be a powerful civilization at the cosmic ring level."
"The last one is the concept of the universe domain. Domain refers to the collection of imaginable universes!"
This concept is more abstract and broader, and its common historical node comes down to the origin of the universe!
As long as the universe is conceivable and can be understood with conventional logic, it is all attributed to the "cosmic domain".
"The civilizations in the universe are even more extensive. Not only humans, whether they are Homo sapiens or Neanderthals, they all come down to humans, or dinosaurs, which originated in the Cretaceous period."
"In a certain time and space, dinosaurs were not completely extinct by asteroids, but instead survived tenaciously. In the long evolution, a certain dinosaur gradually evolved into wisdom, is it possible? We discovered a dinosaur with a developed brain called a thorny dragon in the former dinosaur fossils. As long as this thorny dragon is not extinct, maybe it will evolve into a civilization?"
"It may also be the Trileozoic, originated from the Triassic period, evolved from Trileozoic insects, and the insects evolved into civilization, not even in the dinosaur era. Is this possible?"
"Or it is possible that chimpanzees evolved into wisdom, monkeys evolved into wisdom, dolphins evolved into intelligent civilization, became dolphins, and replaced humans. These are all possible."
"So, they may not even be human races, but may be other races. Even if the probability is very small, it can almost be said that this kind of race must exist. Such a multiverse collection will be called the universe domain!"
The universe community, cosmic ring, cosmic domain, and ranges are increased in turn.
Professor Liu Qingshan introduced this, everything suddenly became clear. "There are two universe domains in total. The first is the physical universe that evolves strictly according to physical rules. The other is the ideal universe domain."
"Xia civilization should be at the cosmic ring level, a powerful interstellar civilization, which is one of the strongest in human history."
"But it is not necessarily the strongest in the universe."
"As a part of human civilization, our Yunhai should be a powerful civilization at the level of the universe community. For eight thousand years, we are considered a relatively powerful historical branch. We should have such confidence. If we grow into an interstellar civilization, we will be one of the strongest in the universe."
"If we develop the ability to jump space, it is a civilization at the cosmic ring level."
"What about outside the universe?" Lu Yiming asked, "Is there a broader concept?"
Professor Liu smiled and shook his head.
Outside the universe, there is an unimaginable universe, full of incomprehensible weirdness, and it is impossible to explain it with conventional logic.
Conventional logic is the basis of human thinking, just like "Growing melons and getting beans and getting beans" and "a stone will sink when thrown into water". These are normal logic.
Since it is unimaginable, there is no need for research.
Professor Liu finally said: "Don't worry too much. According to current observations and analysis, unless we invent space jump technology, it is difficult to encounter a civilization stronger than us. Moreover, even if the concept is enlarged to the universe, most of the weak civilizations are weak, and powerful civilizations are extremely rare."
"In human civilization, we are indeed the overlords in the current cosmic community, at least one of them."
Ding Yuan also sighed: "Yes, a civilization stronger than us is probably an interstellar civilization. Since it can build space warships and planetary fortresses, there is no need to drift on the Yang River. Only a weaker civilization will float aimlessly."
"In fact, our Yunhai, including Hope, had a good foundation before the disaster. At least it still retained a little industrial foundation and the talent scale was pretty good. Therefore, it is possible to grow... No matter what the other ancient civilizations are, it is really difficult to develop."
He cleared his throat: "So, since we need to speed up the development speed, Comrade Lu Yiming will be fully responsible for the actions of hunting evil gods. Although we are the Yibaba of Yanghe, we are just able to protect ourselves. The opportunities we can win must be fought for."
"From the moral level, these ancient civilians could be placed as much as possible. We have the inner space of planetary fortresses and there is no shortage of land at all."
"What do you have any other opinions? Why don't you want to talk about it here?"
It is naturally very important to recognize one's own strength.
If you are very strong but don’t know it, you will undoubtedly waste a lot of opportunities.
Just like the Hope, it actually had several opportunities to enhance its strength, but because of the pursuit of stability, it gave up.
Hunting evil gods is not slaughtering humans. They will not bring any burden in terms of emotional morality, and they will kill multiple goals in one fell swoop. As long as the risks can be controlled, it will soon be approved by most members of the conference.
Next, everyone discussed the resettlement policy on ancient civilizations.
The Yunhai occupied 6,000 square kilometers of land in the entire world, and there were millions of square kilometers of development space underground, so the territory was no shortage.
There is no problem with the remaining 4,000 square kilometers to be settled by ancient civilizations and absorbing talents from these civilizations.
People really can't do something like genocide...
No matter what, we have to set a complete rule for the whole world, and all civilizations collectively abide by these rules, rather than chaotic conflicts or even wars.
