Chapter 614 Exposure of Civilization
Focusing most of the attention on matters related to antimatter energy has, to a certain extent, affected the development of other technological fields in this "space civilization".
But as long as they are willing, they have huge potential in many other fields, but it is not that they have no research capabilities in these fields.
"What we need to do next is to maximize the role of these antimatter energy sources, and use these antimatter energy sources to help us become a more powerful civilization. According to my conservative estimate, these antimatter energy sources are enough for us to use for tens of thousands of years. Even longer. Many civilizations have not existed for such a long time.”
Although the evolution of life is very long, for intelligent civilization, this time is very short.
For example, Blue Star has a history of 4.6 billion years, and at least more than one billion years have passed since the earliest living things appeared.
However, it was not until thousands of years ago that mankind finally appeared the sprouts of civilization and gradually developed into a real civilization.
It can be said that the development speed of a civilization is extremely rapid. In a very short period of time, a civilization can achieve an explosive development leap. The speed of development is difficult even for the civilization itself to predict.
The rapid development speed has also brought many uncertain factors to the existence of civilization. These technologies can allow civilization to reach a new level and height, or they may plunge civilization into a new crisis.
Blue Star Civilization has faced several similar crises over the years, including the crisis caused by the alien civilization where Hayes was located, and the crisis caused by the robot civilization. They are all related to the development of Blue Star Civilization's own technology. Very close relationship.
"Yes, the current reserves of antimatter energy are enough for the development of our civilization for hundreds of generations. From this point of view, even if we do not continue to mine antimatter energy, it will not affect the development of our civilization, and even on the contrary It will also speed up the development of our civilization.”
"Yes, another very important reason why we focused all our energy on the mining of antimatter energy before is that we don't know when we will no longer be able to mine these antimatter energy sources. Fortunately, we A very sufficient amount of antimatter energy has been stored. If we had not fully exploited antimatter energy before, we would be very passive now.”
This kind of exchange made them finally stop regretting this failure and instead focus on the future.
"In addition to continuing to develop our various technologies, we must also clarify all the information about this civilization. They are our most important enemies in this universe. If they cannot be completely wiped out, Our ever-hanging hearts can never relax.”
"Yes, this civilization is what we must eradicate. But at present, we are still full of unknowns about this civilization. They have not even left any valuable information here. We don't even know the specific location of their civilization. There are no clues yet.”
In essence, Ning Chen, Song Xiyun and others of Blue Star Civilization have not really reached the vicinity of "space civilization". They only came here in the form of ideology, so they will not leave anything important at all. trace.
Just relying on their current understanding of Blue Star Civilization, it is indeed difficult for this "space civilization" to know too much information related to Blue Star Civilization, let alone want to eradicate the entire Blue Star Civilization.
"No, actually the situation is far less desperate than we thought. If they just controlled some of our intelligent robots, then I'm afraid I won't be able to find any valuable clues. But in fact, they have already created something here Their bodies have been found, and we can be sure that these bodies are exactly the same as their original bodies. From this point on, we have every hope of finding their true location.”
Hearing these words from the chief scientist, everyone else was surprised and confused.
What surprised them was that they actually hoped to find the actual location of Blue Star Civilization, but what puzzled them was how they were going to achieve this goal.
After all, the information left by Blue Star Civilization near this "space civilization" is too limited. Even though the chief scientist's scientific and technological talents are very outstanding, it is difficult for them to imagine how he can do this.
"Dear chief scientist, please explain to us in detail how we should deal with this matter in the future. The targets we may be looking for may be millions, tens of millions, or even more. I think The amount of work required to detect each planet is huge.”
If they followed conventional methods to explore every planet near this "space civilization", they would obviously not be able to complete the work within the limited time.
So far, they have only completed the exploration of most of the planets in their own galaxy. This work alone has consumed a lot of their time and energy.
Even if they can rapidly develop their space technology after this, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such extensive space exploration.
Amid everyone's puzzled looks, the chief scientist explained patiently.
"Yes, if we just follow the conventional method to explore the surrounding planets, it will indeed be difficult to achieve this goal. If this civilization is only a few light-years away from us, it will be relatively easy to find it. , but according to my estimation, this civilization is probably dozens of light years away from us. Within this range, it is impossible for us to explore every planet one by one, but we must adopt some smarter methods. …”
Whenever the distance in space increases, the increase in the number of planets inside is not a simple addition or multiplication, but more likely an exponential relationship. After all, the universe is a three-dimensional space. In any direction, There are traces of the existence of the planet.
"But if we optimize the method of finding this civilization and let the program help us screen, our work will be much easier. As everyone knows, we have obtained the body information data of their civilization's intelligent creatures. Each civilization has The intelligent creatures born are all very special and have a very close relationship with the environment of the home planet where this civilization is located. We only need to use the body data information of these intelligent creatures to infer the environment of their home star. It is enough to greatly reduce our workload and quickly filter out the range of their home planet..." These words of the chief scientist suddenly made everyone else in this "space civilization" feel enlightened, because this It is indeed a very unique method.
As long as the chief scientist can successfully carry out the corresponding procedures, they can completely screen out the vast majority of planets that have nothing to do with the mother planet of Blue Star civilization through the body information data of these Blue Star people.
In this way, they can save a lot of unnecessary work and find the true location of the parent star of Blue Star Civilization within a limited time.
"Dear Chief Scientist, this is really a very outstanding idea, but many of the details are still very difficult to operate. I wonder how much hope you think we have to actually find the location of this civilization? ”
"Don't worry, although these problems are somewhat difficult to solve, I believe that I am fully capable of doing so. With our current level of technology, even if we cannot explore all the planets near us, we still have the main data of most planets. They are all already available. Just relying on these basic data is enough to help us reduce a lot of work..."
The words of the chief scientist made others feel more confident and realized that he indeed had the ability and determination to accomplish these goals, and was not just talking casually.
"Great, if this plan is really feasible, then we can narrow down the location of this civilization to a very small range. If we really find the location of this civilization, no matter what the effort, No matter what the cost, we must completely destroy this civilization!”
Their hatred for Blue Star Civilization is no less than the hatred of Robot Civilization for Blue Star Civilization. After all, Blue Star Civilization has prevented them from mining antimatter energy, allowing them to obtain unlimited energy. limited energy.
Even if their actions are objectively harmful to the entire universe and are only beneficial to themselves, each civilization will only focus on themselves, and they will not feel any guilt or guilt about this. remorse.
The chief scientist of this "space civilization" is definitely not a cruel person. The research results he has done are more out of his own interests and hobbies, rather than for power or status.
But no matter what, he will not choose to do something that is not conducive to this "space civilization". As a member of this civilization, he must still focus on the interests of his own civilization. There are no absolutes in many things. There is no right or wrong, and right and wrong are always closely related to one's position.
In this regard, the chief scientist actually has many similarities with Ning Chen. He also admires Ning Chen's ability very much, even though the two parties have never actually met. It was just a confrontation from the side.
"Sirs, in addition to using the characteristics of living organisms to find the home planet of this civilization, I have another method to help us determine the location of this civilization. After thinking about it these days, I have understood what this civilization is. How did we discover our existence..."
Hearing what the chief scientist said, others quickly started asking questions eagerly.
"This is really an important discovery. Tell us what the reason is."
They are all very eager to know how the location information of their civilization was leaked. After all, this is related to the security of a civilization. No civilization wants its location information to be exposed. This will greatly increase the number of people. The degree of danger to one’s own civilization.
"At first I thought it was because of our massive exploitation of antimatter energy that this matter was discovered by other civilizations, but then I realized that this is not a behavior that is very easy to attract attention. Maybe for us It is said that this matter is very eye-catching, but if the distance is magnified to a few light-years or even further away, then this is simply something that is impossible to notice. Of course, what I said is 'impossible'. ', Without knowing the location of our civilization, if we are deliberately explored, this matter may still be discovered..."
"I understand, this civilization has actually found our location before discovering that we mine antimatter energy, right?"
"Yes, that's what I want to express. Later, after thinking about it carefully, I was basically sure how they discovered our existence. The key to this problem lies in our experiment on 'space folding' .”
After hearing what the chief scientist said, others began to understand the problem.
Originally, they did not pay much attention to the space folding experiment. After all, it was just one of their many scientific research projects, and it was not even a core scientific research project at all.
Until now, they have never actually used this space folding technology to conduct any substantial space travel. All research related to this project has remained at the theoretical and experimental stage.
But this matter will actually leave some traces in space. As long as a civilization with a certain level of astronomical technology has observed the universe for a long time, it is possible to notice this detail.
Even civilizations dozens of light years away are still capable of observing such traces, and this is indeed the actual reason why the location of this "space civilization" was exposed.
"I can't believe that it was this experiment that exposed the position of our civilization. Otherwise, no civilization would notice us now, and we can still continue to exploit antimatter energy."
