Chapter 737: Imprints 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 off the stage, shook hands with the school leaders of Imperial 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 chat."

A group of people found chairs and sat down in the backstage of the auditorium, surrounded by staff walking around, finishing the report meeting.

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

He knew that Fang Yuan was a super soldier selected by the military scientific research class, that would be the top combat power of China in the future, and it would have a huge impact on China and even the future of mankind.

"It's like this. 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 matter of meteorite microorganisms.

"I know, Lang Tongguang and I have discussed this matter." Fu Wenhe nodded.

Both he and Lang Tongguang are scholars who study astronomy, so they occasionally discuss some academic issues.

The matter about meteorite microorganisms is a frontier topic in several major disciplines such as astronomy and cosmology, so he will naturally pay attention to it.

"The emergence of meteorite microorganisms has raised the possibility that there was an terrestrial planet in the orbit of the asteroid belt. Does Professor Fu think that such an terrestrial planet ever existed?" Fang Yuan asked.

"From the perspective of astrometry, according to the calculation of the orbits of the eight major planets, there should indeed be a planet there. However, recently, in the astronomy community, more people believe that the gravitational force of Jupiter and the sun tore this planet apart. Professor Lang Tongguang thinks that the gravity of Jupiter is too overbearing, which makes the matter in the orbit of the asteroid belt unable to aggregate into planets." Fu Wenhe said while thinking.

"Then what does Professor Fu think?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Before the discovery of microorganisms in meteorites, I agreed with Professor Lang Tongguang's point of view. However, after reading the research report on meteorite microorganisms, I am somewhat inclined to the view that there once existed an terrestrial planet..."

Fu Wenhe continued to express his opinion: "That location is very close to the earth,

It is indeed possible to form terrestrial planets. And the microorganisms in the meteorite come from the inner solar system, which indirectly confirms this point.

"So, maybe the earth was in the Cretaceous period, or when there were no living things on the earth, there was already a living planet there."

Fang Yuan continued to ask: "Then let's assume that there was indeed an terrestrial planet in the orbit of the asteroid belt. Then what did the creatures living on this terrestrial planet do? When the destruction came, what did they leave behind?" ?”

Fu Wenhe shook his head slowly, and said: "This question is difficult to get an answer. If there was an terrestrial planet there, then this terrestrial planet was broken into countless pieces, and now the remaining mass is less than one ten-thousandth of the original mass. one.

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

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

"Survival. This is the main body of life. Whether it is reproduction or the continuation of civilization, it can all be attributed to survival."

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

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

In fact, humans have the same thinking.

The Tinder Project is actually a plan to send the civilization Tinder away from the solar system in order to continue civilization.

"So, maybe outside the solar system, there might be a civilization that left the solar system?" Fang Yuan deduced along his train of thought.

Fu Wenhe shook his head, and said, "This possibility is unlikely. If the civilization in the orbit of the asteroid belt really existed, it might have been 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 parent galaxy, will definitely pay attention.

"Then when human civilization emerges, there should be information contact, even if it's just one-sided information transmission.

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

Fang Yuan nodded again, expressing his agreement, and asked: "If that's the case, what does Professor Fu think that such a civilization will do before it disappears?"

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

Fu Wenhe gestured with his hand to draw a circle, and then said: "Take human beings as an example. If human civilization is about to be destroyed, then the first thing that comes to mind is to continue the fire of civilization, send the fire of civilization out of the solar system, and find a new way of life." possibility of revival.

"If you can't even send out the fire of civilization, then 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 to this world."

Fang Yuan nodded in agreement again: "It's true, if human beings are going to be destroyed, they should also want to record history and culture."

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

However, if it is recorded in the hard disk, it will not last long.

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

One hundred million years is not enough for the earth to develop from the Cretaceous to modern times, and it is impossible for a hard disk to preserve it for that long.

Fu Wenhe turned his head to look at the night sky outside the window.

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

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

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

Fang Yuan replied with a smile, his tone was full of vigor, which made Fu Wenhe feel vigorous.
