v4 Chapter 737： The mark that civilization may leave

The report meeting ended after nine o'clock, and the questions were eased for another half an hour.

Fu Wenhe stepped down, shook hands with the school leaders of Imperial Capital University, and walked backstage.

Fang Yuan still had some questions he wanted to ask, so he got up and walked over, shook hands with Fu Wenhe, and then walked backstage together.

"Professor Fu, I still have some questions, can I ask?"

Fu Wenhe looked at Fang Yuan, recognized Fang Yuan's identity, and replied enthusiastically: "Of course, of course, sit down and talk."

A group of people looked for chairs in the backstage of the auditorium to sit down, and staff walked around to finish the report.

"What do you want to ask?" Fu Wenhe asked actively.

He knew that Fang Yuan's super fighters were selected by the military scientific research class, that is, China's top combat power in the future, and has a huge impact on China and even the future of mankind.

"That's it. Some time ago, during the test flight of the Shenzhou, a meteorite was brought back from outer space. There are non-terrestrial microorganisms in the meteorite. Professor Fu should know about it?" Fang Yuan first mentioned the meteorite microorganisms.

"I know, Lang Tongguang and I discussed it." Fu Wenhe nodded.

He and Lang Tongguang are both scholars of astronomy, so they occasionally discuss some academic issues.

The matter of meteorite microbes is a cutting-edge topic in several universities such as astronomy and cosmological sociology, and he will naturally pay attention to it.

"The appearance of meteorite microbes has increased the possibility that there was an earth-like planet in the orbit of the asteroid belt. Professor Fu thinks that such an earth-like planet ever existed?" Fang Yuan asked.

"From the perspective of astrometry, according to the calculation of the eight planets' orbits, there should indeed be a planet there. However, recently in the astronomy circles, more people think that the gravity of Jupiter and the sun has shredded this planet. Professor Lang Tongguang believes that Jupiter’s gravitational force is too domineering, causing the matter in the orbit of the asteroid belt to be unable to aggregate into planets.” Fu Wenhe preached thinking.

"What does Professor Fu think?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Before the discovery of microbes in meteorites, I agreed with Professor Lang Tongguang's view. However, after seeing the research report on meteorite microbes, I was somewhat biased towards the view that there once existed an earth-like planet..."

Fu Wenhe continued to express his views: "The location is very close to the earth, and it is indeed possible to form terrestrial planets. The microbes in the meteorite come from the solar system, which indirectly confirms this point.

"So, maybe the earth was in the Cretaceous period, or there was already a planet of life before there were any creatures on the earth."

Fang Yuan continued to ask: "Then we assume that there was indeed an earth-like planet in the orbit of the asteroid belt. Then what did the creatures living on this earth-like planet do? What was left behind when the destruction came ?"

Fu Wenhe slowly shook his head, and said: "This question is difficult to answer. If there used to be an earth-like planet, then this earth-like planet was broken into countless pieces, and now the remaining mass is less than ten thousandths of the original. One.

"Unless humans can reach the asteroid belt one day and search for traces of civilization that may be left there, there will never be an answer to this question."

Fang Yuan nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Suppose there was a civilization on that terrestrial planet. If you analyze it from cosmological sociology, what will this civilization do before it is destroyed?"

"Survival. This is the subject of life, whether it is reproduction or the continuation of civilization, it can be attributed to survival."

After serious consideration, Fu Wenhe continued to add: "Just like human beings, if the earth is facing the same crisis of destruction, then the first response of mankind must be to survive and to continue civilization.

"If you can't resist, then escape is the first choice, provided that this civilization has mastered the technology to escape the solar system."

In fact, humans also have the same thinking.

The fire plan is actually a plan to continue civilization and send the fire of civilization away from the solar system.

"So, maybe outside the solar system, there may be a civilization that has left the solar system?" Fang Yuan followed his thoughts.

Fu Wenhe shook his head and said, "This is unlikely. If this civilization in the orbit of the asteroid belt really exists, it may be hundreds of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions of years ago.

"For such a long time, if this civilization still exists, then the solar system, as their home galaxy, will definitely pay attention.

"So when human civilization emerges, there should be information contact, even if it is only one-sided information transmission.

"So, I am more inclined to this civilization on the asteroid belt. The technology level will not be too high, and there is a high probability that it has disappeared in the long river."

Fang Yuan nodded again, agreed, and asked: "If this is the case, then Professor Fu thinks, what will such a civilization do before it disappears?"

"It's still survival. If you can't survive physically, you will pursue spiritual survival. This is another understanding of survival by intelligent life..."

Fu Wenhe gestured with his hands to draw a circle, and then said: "Take humanity as an example. If human civilization is about to be destroyed, then the first thing that can be thought of is to continue the fire of civilization and send the fire of civilization out of the solar system to find a new one. The possibility of revival.

"If you can't even send out the fire of civilization, you can only choose a more helpless way, record the history and culture of civilization, and use the last bit of strength to prove that you have been in this world."

Fang Yuan nodded again and agreed: "It is also said that if mankind is going to be destroyed, he should also want to record history and culture."

The most direct way, naturally, is to record history and civilization on the hard disk as a proof that civilization once existed.

However, if it is recorded on the hard disk, it will not be stored for long.

On the scale of the universe, it is just hundreds of millions of years.

One hundred million years is not enough for the earth to develop from the Cretaceous to modern times, and hard drives cannot be stored for that long.

Fu Wenhe turned his head and looked at the night sky outside the window.

The night sky tonight is very clear, full of stars, like gems hanging in the sky, shining with quiet stars.

He sighed leisurely: "Maybe, in the asteroid belt, there are still traces left by that civilization. If you can go there one day, maybe you can find the traces of civilization left by them."

"There will be opportunities. We have mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology and are fully capable of flying into space."

Fang Yuan answered with a smile, his tone full of vigor, which made Fu Wenhe feel a sense of vigor in his heart.
