The first volume of the piano of time and space
[ New Jupiter in Masking Age 55 ]
Space City 7 is a disk with a diameter of two kilometers and a thickness of 240 meters. The smooth surface almost perfectly reflects the Milky Way. The space city does not rotate, and the anti-gravity core with a diameter of more than 100 meters at the bottom provides 1g of artificial gravity for the entire space city. The total population of this era has exceeded 10,000 people, so it is necessary for such a behemoth to bring all residents together ( the larger the space city, the more cost-saving ).
Six fusion fireballs emitting light and heat are suspended inside the space city, providing energy for the ecological circulation system in the space city, illuminating the green Eden-like city. The center of the space city 's ' ground ' is a lake, and the water will not be injected or discharged. The water purification device at the bottom of the lake maintains the clarity of the water. There are several swaying water plants in the water, but there is no fish. This ecosystem does not need the existence of fish ; similarly, there are trees, grass and flowers on the shore, but there are no animals. They are only a drag on the ecosystem.
It is like the earth, but it does not give people the feeling of the earth, its builders in a not obvious but ubiquitous way cruel reminded everyone : they are in danger in the midst of the starry sea, not a moment of ease.
There are no houses above the ground, and all the rooms are suspended in the air in the form of cubes, constantly re-stitching, combining, forming some huge incredible geometry, which is often a group of people gathered to discuss the problem. After the problem is solved, those huge structures will be scattered again, waiting for a new aggregation.
This is a busy world, only busy, but not the kind of bustling business economy. In such a city where productivity far exceeds the needs of all people, goods and trade do not need to exist. After all, 80 % of the people in this city with a total population of only 12,000 people are scientists and technicians, and the remaining 20 % are overwhelmingly members of parliament who discuss and decide the direction of future development. From the day of birth, these people have received the education that ' the overall interests of mankind are higher than the individual interests ', and are not sensitive to selfish desires, making it possible to build such a communist society.
It is also such a social structure that makes full use of existing intellectual resources, so that this new society started by 1,400 people has reached the speed of development that Earth International, which had a population of billions of people, could not reach. In 40 years, it has reached the level of earth civilization technology at the end of the deterrent era, completed the development of SIM materials and independently built a gravitational wave launcher.
However, it is this gravitational wave transmitter, which represents the highest technology at present, that has triggered the most intense debate since the birth of new human beings, which is even more intense than the debate when the social form was initially determined. The question at issue is simple : since the solar system is not yet destroyed, should we send a message to the solar system telling them that they are alive or letting them walk into the stars with the new humans ?
In the center of Space City 7, a large number of cube houses constructed by liquid metal merge into a huge open disc, accommodating more than 7,000 people - more than half of the total population - for this debate that has lasted for three days and three nights. From time to time, some cubes withdraw from the venue for people to rest. However, there will always be new cubes to join, so that the area of this platform will not change much.
In the venue, countless holographic screens and three-dimensional projections flash, providing support from different angles for one party. One of the messages has attracted almost everyone 's attention. It is the last message from the ' Bronze Age '.Colonel Scott 's voice is distorted to almost unrecognizable in extreme pain, but still shows his determination at the last moment of life. 'Don 't return, it 's not home ! '
Look, those short-sighted people abandoned us more than a hundred years ago ! If we send them gravitational wave information now, not only will we not get their help, but also may be crucified ! '
'No, don 't you forget that the ' blue space ' left the solar system to pursue ' natural selection ' ; 'Gravity ' is to pursue ' blue space '. In the face of the threat of three-body civilization, the solar system is also likely to be destroyed in the dark forest soon ! If the solar system really sent people to crusade us, those crusaders will follow us ! '
'Puerile ! Do you think only the solar system can receive our information ? The three-body civilization has a Rosetta system that can read our language, and we will expose the three-body civilization ! '
For a time, the venue was full of such debates, and the two sides did not give in to each other, but the opposition had clearly prevailed.
At this time, a white-haired old man came to the middle of the venue and struck the ground several times with a walking stick. The ground composed of liquid metal seemed to accept his instructions and rippled in a circle. The volume of his speech was also amplified countless times, echoing throughout the city.
'Silence ! '
Chu Yan 's words calmed the whole scene. Although he handed over his rights after the first batch of newborns grew up, his prestige was still beyond his reach.
After handing over power, Chu Yan rarely speaks, but his every word will cause people to ponder. Therefore, Chu Yan 's participation is likely to bring this debate into a new stage.
I 'm here to express my attitude first, I support sending messages to the solar system. I will never forget the pain that the world brings to me, and I do not want them to be fully integrated into our world. Perhaps some of them will come to us and expand the scale of our world, but this is not important. The important thing is time. We spent more than one hundred years in the voyage, that is to say, the technology of human beings in the solar system will lead us for nearly a hundred years. After getting in touch with them, we will save nearly a hundred years of development time. You might think that the cheapest resource in the universe is time, but in fact, time is the most precious. '
A huge holographic image unfolds in the venue, which is a three-body galaxy that has been destroyed for a long time. The image is gradually enlarged, and finally an incomplete spherical shell appears in the center of the image. The surface of the spherical shell is an absolutely smooth total reflection mirror, and the edge is a perfect circle. Then the image record of the three-body planet appears next to the spherical shell, and a line of words ' matching degree 97 % ' is written below.
This is a planetary defense project built by the trio in three years, using a layer of SIM material to wrap the planet to defend against light particles. I believe that by giving the threesome two more years, their world will not be completely destroyed. '
For a time, the whole field was silent. In the voting on this day, the people who were in favor of sending the signal passed the resolution by 72 %. The condition is that the coordinates of the new human must not be expressed too clearly in the information, at least to make the three-body people unable to understand, and it is best to only let the solar system humans receive this information.
A few days later, the vibrations of the degenerate strings rippled through space-time, sending a short message to the solar system. We are still alive, living in a world without stars. The next is a long wait, even the fastest answer, it will take 8 years to come. The distance of light years, after all, is too far.
[ 8 years later ]
New humans finally wait for a reply from the solar system, but this reply is not a gravitational wave signal or neutrino beam, but an unimaginable ' miracle '.
A pair of wise children. The wise son of man from the solar system. It is enough to surprise new humans that humans in the solar system have created a wise child, but this is not the whole problem.
Soon someone found a more horrible problem : the location of the new Jupiter should be a wise child blind spot. This pair of wise can reach the galaxy where the new humans are located, at least indicating that humans in the solar system have the technology to overcome the wise blind zone.
As a result, the technology of humans in the solar system has gone beyond the theory of new humans, at least 3 ~ 4 technological eras ahead of starship humans. New technologies from the solar system are enough to make new human civilization develop rapidly.
These two wise sons are likely to be the carriers of these new technologies. All the cubes in Space City 7 have stopped splicing and reorganizing, and everyone is waiting for information from the world four light years away.
A few minutes later, a wise man gradually unfolded, and a real-time image of the solar system appeared on the huge total reflection sphere. This scene stunned everyone, and extreme fear made the expectations of the previous second vanish.
In the solar system, there is a two-dimensional plane with low light. At the edge of the plane, Pluto becomes a weird painting with infinite details in only ten seconds.
In the center of the plane, the sun, which has turned into a disk, shines a dim orange light, and goes out little by little. The destruction of the solar system, once carrying the rise and fall of five thousand years of human civilization galaxy, within a few days became a painting.
Soon, the picture disappears, which seems to mean that the wise sons in the solar system have left. The fluorescence on the zhizi gathers together a phrase :
The solar system has been hit by dark forests and compressed into a two-dimensional space. Only when it reaches the speed of light can it escape. Only one ship in the bunker world can leave, but that ship does not have the ability to develop alone and will need your help in the future. From now on, you have become the only human civilization in the universe. I am the core of the bunker world AI LOGIC, composed of seventy five thousand six hundred one hundred four ten-dimensional etching of the wise son, I carry the bunker world all the technical information, will help the development of human civilization. Even if the universe is too dark to give anyone any hope, life will continue until the final judgment comes.
