The expert continued: "only when words are born can there be cultural inheritance and even splendid civilization. Word of mouth alone will bring about too many variables. Mathematics is a further development of language, which means a certain degree of logical thinking ability and the ability to plan for the future. "

"Only after the birth of mathematics can we manage more people and set a series of standards, including material reserves, weights and measures, monetary units, and then form a series of transactions, from primitive tribes to the state."

“…… If we can meet more stone age civilizations in our future travel, we should be able to prove this. "

Zhang Yuan nodded and said in a voice: "in other words, mediocrity has appeared from the beginning. The race with intelligent mind may not be able to form civilization, let alone scientific and technological civilization. We're already a pretty good species in the universe. "

The vast majority of ethnic groups simply can not fully play their full potential, just like the Riley civilization, inexplicably stuck.

Next, a picture is displayed on the screen, which is retrieved from the most original database.

“…… The mossite culture of human beings belongs to the category of Paleolithic age, which is a typical artifact. You can see this picture of the unearthed cultural relic is a side scraper and a triangular pointed tool made of stone chips. In addition, there are concave, serrated, stone ball, blunt back stone knife and small hand axe

"It shows that human beings at that time used various tools more widely in the process of practice."

The historian said excitedly, "but we can't be sure whether the enlightenment civilization influenced the ancient human beings to go out of Africa and form the so-called moste culture. Because there are many similar cultures, and there is no written record of the whole process. "

In the valley of mediocrity, it's very normal for a species to stagnate for tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years. It's abnormal for human beings to make rapid progress in technology in hundreds of thousands of years.

"That is to say, according to what enlighteners are doing, they will give appropriate and small amount of help to potential species."

If the other party has really visited the earth, then the probability of a little help to mankind will be great.

"What's more, if enlightenment civilization really exists, it must be a four level civilization, or a more powerful civilization. Because the distribution of cosmic strings is not invariable. The distribution of cosmic strings 150000 years ago is not the same as it is now. There are no cosmic strings near the earth and Riley. Therefore, if the enlightenment civilization really exists, they have a high probability of mastering the curvature of navigation, and then they can go back and forth to various stars at will... "

"It's really a civilization full of fantastic ideas and romantic feelings. What is the purpose of this civilization?"

"Maybe this heuristic behavior is very interesting to them. Yes, just for fun. Please forgive me for using this adjective The way of thinking of the longer-lived species must be very different from those of our short-lived species. "

Then, the expert said, "but it may also be to do experiments, or we have developed a prediction discipline similar to the new civilization historiography, which needs some civilization evolution as experimental samples."

"So I suggest that we conduct a comprehensive search of Riley and its surrounding satellites to find out if there are any enlightened observatories!"

With this, everyone was startled. Is there really an advanced civilization observation station near Riley? If so, it means another big thing Dialogue with higher civilization, and superluminal communication!

Without superluminal communication, it is difficult to transmit a large amount of data to the far other end of the galaxy.

Talking about the speed of light communication, many experts are excited. This is the technology that human beings dream of. If we really find the scientific research station of advanced civilization, what should we do? Do you want to talk to each other or study the technology directly? Are there any risks?

But Zhang Yuan is sitting in his own position, quietly. They may have discussed this for a long time, and even sent troops to conduct an all-round search the first time the problem was raised.

According to human's idea, one of the best observation sites is in space, or on the satellite of Riley.

The volume of this natural satellite is much smaller than that of the moon, and it has been locked by the tide. It always has only one direction to aim at Riley. Geological activities are not frequent, so it is the best observation site.

But humans did not find any suspicious traces There's not even a trace.

This shows that this guess is probably wrong.

Listening to the discussion, Zhang Yuan quickly stood up and announced the relevant conclusion: "everyone, please listen to me. If the other side built the observation station on a bare satellite, it should be easy to find it, but we didn't find it

"We will continue our search in the whole planetary system. However, if the scope of the search is too large, it is undoubtedly the act of looking for a needle in a haystack. "If we set up an observation station on Riley, on the one hand, we need to fight against the oxidation of oxygen. Things that can last tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years in space may only be preserved for hundreds of years in an aerobic environment.

On the other hand, we have to fight against the possible geological disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and the data collected on the surface is extremely limited.

"Yes, from a logical point of view, establishing a space observatory is the best choice. No matter how high the civilization technology is, there is no need to add difficulty to yourself, right?" An expert came forward.

"I don't think they will set up an observation station here for hundreds of thousands of years Because the earth civilization has also been visited by enlighteners. About the solar system, human beings have been developing it for many years, and their footprints are all over every planet. If there are any extraterrestrial relics, they should have been discovered long ago. "

This is true, and Zhang Yuan quite agrees with this view. If not on earth, then the planet should not be.

But many experts look at each other, do not know should be relieved, or sigh. That is to say, the opportunity for dialogue with higher civilizations is gone, which makes them feel very sorry. They have a strange mentality like Ye Gong likes dragons.

"I think higher civilization should use virtual world technology to carry out relevant experiments..."
