Chapter 168 500 million years ago!
Human beings are very grateful to this pioneer with a "friendly attitude". No matter what reason the other party sent these messages, there is no doubt that they are indeed precious.
The last 50 images involve some content from the high-dimensional universe!
These images seem to describe what exactly is happening in parallel universes.
Most parallel universes are whiteboard-like existences that cannot accommodate any life.
There is also a picture that depicts a block-shaped thing. As a result, the next second, the block completely explodes.
This higher civilization seems to be advising low-level civilizations not to rashly enter this type of universe that cannot accommodate matter, otherwise it will easily be trapped inside and will never come out. Even if the small universe is in this terrifying universe, it will undergo slow physical transformation.
But there are also a small number of parallel universes where strange lives are born.
The first is carbon-based life, with an atomic diagram of carbon elements drawn on it.
Even though the atomic map is not something very accurate, it is easy to understand. Every civilization that deeply understands the microscopic world knows the existence of carbon atoms.
"Most of carbon-based life have a neural network as the core of wisdom?" Zhang Ran murmured to himself.
It should be like this. These images draw a lot of neural network images. Whether they are lizard-type, octopus-type or other aliens, they have a large neural network as a processing system.
The structures of these neural networks are different, and higher-level civilizations seem to be expressing what they mean. However, due to the limited cognition, humans will not understand what the other party is expressing for a while.
There are also more and more universes, with life forms dominated by silicon, phosphorus and boron, and atomic diagrams of three elements are drawn on them.
"There seems to be more than one life universe dominated by silicon, phosphorus and boron? Is that true?" Zhang Ran frowned and looked at the big screen.
If there is only one carbon universe, then there may be 100, or even 1,000 silicon universe!
Because the screen is densely painted with circles, most of them are blank universes, a few silicon universes, and only one carbon-based life universe.
In the next picture, a normal distribution image was drawn. The probability of the carbon universe on the far right of the normal distribution x-axis is really low, while the probability of the silicon universe is indeed much higher. As for the rest of the lifeless universe, there are countless.
Everyone here looked at each other and felt confused and empty.
Is carbon-based life so rare?
Silicon-based life is the real mainstream? Are they real and fake?
So, does life in the carbon universe have to face 100 or even 1,000 times the number of enemies?
But how did the conflict between the two sides cause?
It's really incredible. If you just want to compete for resources... isn't there a so-called multiverse? Wouldn't it be better to dig resources without a master in other parallel universes?
The content of the subsequent paintings is even more difficult to understand. It is simply the product of countless points, lines, and circles, completely beyond the scope of human cognition.
It may be the wisdom of silicon-based life, because of these messy points, lines, and circles, while carbon-based life is caused by neural networks, so it constitutes the fundamental difference between the two.
Or maybe it is the high-level civilization itself, and I don’t know why the silicon-based civilization has great hostility. It just allows the low-level civilization to leave far away and do not contact these silicon-based lives, because it is highly likely that it will not be able to defeat it.
I don’t know what the last few pictures are expressing, and some hypercubes, dimension spheres, etc. are drawn on them.
"What is this...a higher-dimensional life?"
The number of high-dimensional life is very rare, even rarer than the carbon universe.
High-dimensional geometric structures have essential differences from three-dimensional space.
For example, topology. Some topology theorems do not hold in two-dimensional and three-dimensional, but in four-dimensional and five-dimensional.
For example, there are group structures on one-dimensional and three-dimensional spheres, but no matter how high the dimension is, there is no more differential structures. For example, different differential structures that only appear on seven-dimensional spheres; real two-dimensional is that of a complex one-dimensional conformal mapping, that is, full pure or inverse pure, but high-dimensional conformal mapping is simple, with only translation similar inversion and its complexity.
"This means... there may be higher dimensions of living things in the universe? Because of the differences in mathematical laws, the two sides cannot understand each other? Or, with our wisdom, cannot understand each other?"
Zhang Ran was dry and in a sensation, and was shocked, and could not calm down for a long time.
This is the real high-level civilization! Just revealing a little bit of words can outline a brilliant world that humans can't imagine!
Silicon-based life is at least three-dimensional, and it is barely understandable. However, humans do not understand higher-dimensional living organisms and have never encountered them.
The 200 pictures are played here and it ends. While everyone feels relieved, they feel lost.
If humans were just the earth emperors on the earth, they knew nothing, understood nothing, and disasters had never happened, not only would they not feel confused, but they might have been spending year after year in constant infighting.
But now, the more you know, the more you don’t know... It’s like a circle on paper. The bigger the circle, the more outside world you touch.
Zhang Ran sighed, but there was nothing to worry about. Nowadays, human beings live a fulfilling life every year, and they are constantly improving every year.
"Everyone, all the deciphered pictures are over here."
"This functional formula may have another method of deciphering... I also hope that all colleagues will try further with a similar solution. Thank you everyone!" Dr. Zhou Xian, who was standing on the stage, bent down and nodded, and walked off the podium.
There was a burst of warm applause in the room.
However, the applause ended quickly. The atmosphere was still quite silent. People still slid the tablet screen on the table and reviewed the more than 200 pictures that had just been played.
The information behind these images may not be as simple as it seems.
Maybe there will be more things hidden in the picture.
Soon, Dr. Xia Yu from Gaowei Laboratory expressed his opinions.
This young man with a quick mind has gained a reputation in just one or two years. I have to say that it is always right to give geniuses more opportunities.
Xia Yu had a shy smile on his face: "I have been wondering why this advanced civilization has made the star path of the Rania Kaiya Super Galaxy Cluster so clear?"
"It's even placed it at the forefront of the functional style, that is, the most important content. This picture is of high quality and very clear."
"The image quality of the functional backend image has been significantly reduced due to the poor convergence of the image, which makes us not know what we are drawing."
"Not only that, the civilization also drew Sharpli super galaxy cluster, Marxism Super galaxy cluster, Houtie super galaxy cluster, Yingxian-Pisces super galaxy cluster, etc...."
"Now after detailed comparison and simple calculations, I suddenly realized that the other party had a special intention to explain the time when this happened and the range that cosmic string broadcast could reach."
Xia Yu sent a picture on the screen, which is a starry sky image drawn by humans relying on their own observational capabilities, namely the Rania Kaia Supergalaxy Cluster.
Compared with the broadcast images sent by advanced civilizations, there is indeed a big difference.
This is strange. Either humans are wrong, higher civilizations are wrong, or... they are all right!
Dr. Xia did not keep it a secret and continued: "Is the painting inaccurate? There are indeed possibilities, but not high. The other party spent so much effort and could not make too low-level mistakes. So the only possible explanation is: time!"
"Time has changed everything in the starry sky."
"We can infer how long the time has passed through through the changes in the star path! This should be the other party's intention!"
Zhang Ran's heart moved.
Indeed!
Isn’t it time written at the beginning?
Everything in the universe is changing, including supergalaxy clusters.
Stillness is relative, motion is absolute. As time goes by, the structure of supergalaxies will also change slightly.
"How long has time passed?" Xia Yu said this and broadcast a formula on the computer. "I have a simple calculation here and found that 500 million years have passed, and the error may be very large, plus or minus 100 million years. That is, 400 to 600 million years ago, this broadcast was sent, and then it oscillated back and forth in the strings of the universe, transmitting to all directions at the speed of light."
"500 million years ago, this civilization sent a kind reminder."
"The civilization with the ability to observe the strings of the universe is likely to be prompted accordingly. The disaster of the universe is coming. Please prepare for defense."
"So these civilizations have been preparing for a long time. The civilization of the universe string cannot be observed. Perhaps it is considered to be an inequality civilization, and it is no different from the animals in the primeval forest..."
500 million years?
The conference room suddenly became a little quiet, and all the discussion disappeared in an instant.
This kind of silent atmosphere has appeared several times, but what Dr. Xia said is reasonable and no one can refute it.
Zhang Ran widened his eyes, clenched his fists, and even his breathing was frozen.
500 million years ago, the earth was still in the Cambrian period!
Even the dinosaurs have not appeared yet!
It was the era of trilobites. The legendary Cambrian life explosion occurred 500 million years ago. The invertebrate creatures in the ocean became the overlord of the world!
A certain ancestor of humans may be a mutated trilobite, or an invertebrate worm that produces trace variations, swimming happily in the ocean, and being happy because of eating a bite of food...
