Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 80 A Powerful Civilization?

"Everyone, listen to me slowly. In addition to the above two points, there are many other viewpoints."

As Rambo spoke, he counted out the third finger, "Third, the emergence of intelligent creatures. We still cannot determine whether the emergence of intelligent creatures is an inevitable result or an accidental event.

After all, dinosaurs dominated for 150 million years, and there was no tendency to generate wisdom. For creatures tens of millions of years ago, the attribute of wisdom is far less important to survival than "strong". "

"So, the birth of wisdom may also be an accident. After all, among so many species of creatures on the earth, only humans have wisdom."

Yu Yifeng nodded, this one also makes sense. There are 30 million to 50 million species of life on the earth. There will be more species that have appeared in history, but only humans have wisdom. This shows that the birth of wisdom is likely to be a low-probability event.

Then, Rimbaud extended his fourth finger: "Fourth... The birth of modern science may also be a great filter.

The Maya civilization in America perished because of its addiction to sacrifice, Babylon perished because of its addiction to hedonism, and the former China was almost on the verge of extinction because it fell into the ultra-stable structure of the late feudal society. Europe was trapped in the theocracy and almost lost everything to the Black Death..."

"The birth of modern science may not be easy for a civilization..."

Dr. Rimbaud's statement ended here, and the scientists began to discuss and state their own views.

If one of the points Dr. Rimbaud said is a real great filter, then humans may have crossed this stage and become a rare race in the universe. Emotionally speaking, they certainly hope that humans will become a rare race with extremely good luck.

The probability of crossing the great filter is at most one in ten million. If humans have already crossed it, there is no need to worry. Since they are already a rare race, no matter how big the flood is behind them...

Yu Yifeng listened to the debate of scientists while thinking. Dr. Rambo's several conjectures are undoubtedly very reasonable, and each one is full of huge contingencies, which are difficult to estimate from the time scale.

For example, "evolution from eukaryotes to prokaryotes" is very powerful. About 3.5 billion years ago, prokaryotes such as bacteria and cyanobacteria appeared on the earth, and about 1.9-2 billion years ago, the earliest eukaryotes appeared on the earth, and the time span was 1.5 billion years!

1.5 billion years! How many contingencies are there during this period? Without those strange and thousands of contingencies, perhaps humans are still single-celled organisms...

"Perhaps, we humans are already a rare race in the universe!" Dr. Rambo became more and more excited as he spoke: "Perhaps, we are already one of the more developed races in the universe!"

Dr. Rambo represents the idea of ​​optimism. They believe that humans have passed the big filter, and the future is smooth sailing. They only need to continue to develop technology.

Of course, Yu Yifeng also likes this statement from the bottom of his heart. He is the leader of civilization. Even if he is fully capable and confident, he does not want to face the inhumane "big filter" with a pass rate of only one in ten million to one in a hundred million!

He does not want the new human civilization to be filtered out directly...

Of course, scientists cannot all be such optimists. There are also pessimists represented by Professor Heigl, who believe that the big filter is still ahead of human civilization.

In the near future, humans may have to face...

"Dr. Rambo, I have a few questions to ask you." Heiger took a sip of water and said calmly: "How do you know that only eukaryotic organisms can evolve into multicellular organisms?"

"Perhaps alien life will have other forms of evolution, and eukaryotic life is just one of them. We cannot take things on Earth as common sense in the universe. This one is questionable as a big filter."

"Yes, but only one of us is right." Rambo nodded, "No one can convince anyone without definite evidence..."

Heiger nodded. She really couldn't produce evidence to convince the other party. "Second point, you said that humans are already one of the more developed races in the universe. I may not agree. What do you think of the civilization that built the Noah?"

"Yes, the Noah civilization that invented the Noah, we humans don't even have the qualifications to look up to... They are really too powerful." Dr. Rambo stood up and talked confidently.

"If the Noah civilization is the strongest civilization in the universe, then... we humans may also be the second strongest civilization in the universe?"

"Otherwise, why would they place the Noah on the moon? Is it really a coincidence? If our human civilization is ordinary, then why would they place the Noah on the moon?"

Although Rimbaud's words are suspected of boasting, it seems... there is some truth. If human civilization is ordinary and has not passed the Great Filter, then why would the Noah civilization place the Noah on the moon?

Is this a coincidence or a necessity?

Humanity's ability to step into the starry sky depends largely on the Noah...Without the Noah, the remaining people can only wait to die on the moon.

If it is a coincidence, then human civilization is really lucky to have discovered the lost alien spacecraft.

If it is inevitable, then human civilization may really be one of the most powerful civilizations in the universe... The most powerful Noah civilization in the Milky Way happened to discover human civilization that passed through the Great Filter. For some reason, they left a spacecraft on the moon...

This explanation is already a kind of conspiracy theory. Is human civilization really a powerful civilization?

It's too exaggerated. Yu Yifeng simply doesn't know what to say. This is fucking... If human civilization is also considered a powerful civilization, this universe is too rubbish, right?

He always felt that this statement was a bit funny, but there was no definite evidence to refute it... Combined with some conspiracy theories, it sounds like it's true. This idea is really too weird. Only a young and energetic person like Rimbaud, whose brain circuit is not normal, can think of it and dare to say it.

Just like the ancient geocentric theory, the ancient Greeks believed that the earth was the center of the entire universe, and everything was revolving around the earth! And Rimbaud's statement already has such a feeling, but according to his statement, it seems to make some sense, which is indescribably weird.

The scientists all laughed softly, and this kind of laughter contained many meanings... In fact, they themselves didn't know what they were laughing at.

"Ah..." Professor Heiger smiled and sighed: "Then, Dr. Rimbaud, what can you tell me about our Earth being destroyed by?"

"Is it a natural phenomenon, or another advanced civilization?"

"As you said, human civilization is already powerful, so the only one that destroyed the Earth is the Noah civilization, right?"

Rimbaud was suddenly stunned, which he had not expected.

According to what he said, human civilization is already a relatively powerful civilization, that is, a relatively rare civilization. It is impossible for a civilization that is much more powerful than human civilization but weaker than Noah civilization to emerge.

In this way, his statement is somewhat contradictory. He could only nod and admit it, and continue to resist.

"Yes, if it was the Noah civilization that destroyed the Earth, then my statement is still valid. If it was the third civilization that destroyed the Earth, then..."

"Human civilization is still an ordinary civilization... Noah is just a coincidence..."
