Chapter 466 That is the height that human beings should stand at
Ye Ming closed his eyes and was silent for a long time until the phone rang again.
It was Professor Huo Laien calling again.
"professor."
"It's confirmed..." During the phone call, Professor Huo Laien's tone was a bit solemn and had an indescribable emotion - a bit like suppressed excitement, but more of a fear: "It's not caused by experiments."
"Yes, sure." Ye Ming took a breath, then slowly raised his eyebrows: "At least we have figured out one thing, that is, there is information exchange in high-dimensional space - it is not just used by us.
"
"but……"
"We'll talk about the rest when I get back." Ye Ming thought for a while and added: "This discovery does not need to be disclosed to the outside world for the time being, including Harvard - you are familiar with them, you go and say hello."
"Um."
"Then I have something else to do, let's talk about it tomorrow." Ye Ming stood up and walked towards the door.
The monitor has shown that Director Niu has arrived at the door.
…
Ten minutes later, Director Niu’s brows formed a thick frown.
"Let me summarize it first and see if I understand it correctly."
"First of all, detector b located in the four-dimensional space has not received signals in the past."
"Yes."
"But today, I received it."
"Yes."
"And this signal was not sent by us."
"Yes."
"This signal was sent one minute after our experiment ended."
"Yes."
"So... this signal is..." Director Niu took a deep breath: "Sent by an alien civilization?"
Ye Ming fell silent. After a moment, he nodded slightly: "If any civilization that was not born on Earth can be called an alien civilization, then it must be."
Director Niu immediately asked: "What... do you mean?"
"Because it may be sent by high-dimensional civilization."
Director Niu fell silent. After a long time, he picked up the water glass and walked to the water dispenser.
But he didn't notice anything until the hot water overflowed.
"Fuck!" Director Niu threw away the cup and scattered the boiling water on the ground, sending out bursts of white smoke.
"It's okay, we'll clean it later."
"Well - that signal is because of our experiment, right?" Director Niu ignored his hands being burned and turned to look at Ye Ming, his eyes full of solemnity.
Ye Ming was silent again for a few seconds.
"There are not so many coincidences in this world. I tend to believe that it is because our experiment disturbed some kind of space and time, and then it was observed."
Director Niu closed his eyes and clenched his fists with both hands.
Ye Ming also kept clenching his fists.
At this time... his mood was very complicated.
Nervous, excited, excited, anxious...it's all there.
Maybe there is still a little regret.
——Obviously, those civilizations hidden in unknown spaces and light-years away have noticed because of this experiment. At the very least, it has caused a little reaction.
Ye Ming didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
He only knows that humans... do move a little too fast because of themselves.
——The classification of civilizations appeared half a century ago. The science fiction writer Kardashev gave a three-level definition. Subsequently, other science fiction writers made more detailed classifications based on this, and even some
He was so imaginative that he gave a definition of level 10 civilization.
】
But how to put it, these are just "folk" definitions in the science fiction world, and are not recognized by the scientific community.
The scientific community advocates doing facts and has no time for such things.
However, with the rapid progress of human science in the past ten years, not only have controllable nuclear fusion, strong artificial intelligence, and quantum supercomputing been achieved in one fell swoop, but also artificial gravity, ultra-distance communication, crossing wormholes, and touching
dimension, crossed the sea of stars, and came into contact with other civilizations...
Then, it becomes of practical significance to define "how many kilograms and taels" of human civilization currently exists.
Therefore, after comprehensively "borrowing" the imagination of those imaginative science fiction authors and combining it with the direction of human science and technology trees, the scientific community decided to abandon the long-circulated Kardashev civilization level and thus change the understanding of dimensions.
Utilize as the most basic principle.
According to this principle, a civilization is in the first-level range before crossing the wormhole - no matter how big your space city is, no matter how awesome your battleship is, no matter how far your detector flies
.As long as you have not crossed the wormhole - to be precise, you do not have the ability to move faster than the speed of light, then you will stay in a level 1 civilization.
Level 2 civilization is based on "superlight speed" and "displacement" - whether you cross a wormhole or develop a curvature engine, it means that you have officially entered an interstellar civilization.
Because super-light displacement is a prerequisite for colonizing another galaxy.
Level 3 civilization is getting rid of energy weapons and the use of dimensions - whether it is long-distance communication or artificial wormholes, these can completely get rid of the shackles of time and space, allowing the influence of civilization to arrive instantly
The ability to travel billions of light years away.
Level 4 civilization will be a civilization that fully utilizes dimensional technology, fully understands the entire universe, and can easily carry out material intervention in a certain space.
Level 5 civilization will have a comprehensive understanding of all dimensions of space, and can easily destroy and create other civilizations and even spaces - in short, it is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipotent.
According to this classification, human beings... basically completed the leap from level 1 civilization to level 3 civilization within ten years.
…
Director Niu gradually calmed down. He could clearly see that something was wrong with Ye Ming opposite him.
He knew that this was the burden on Ye Ming's shoulders, and the responsibility was too heavy.
If it is true... because of this experiment, it will lead to what some science fiction works say...
——After humans entered star civilization, a large number of science fiction works emerged. Many science fiction works stated that the reason why humans are currently able to develop slowly on the earth is essentially because they are too weak and have not been conquered by other powerful ones.
Observed by alien civilizations.
But as human technology begins to explode, it will be observed... it will be a matter of time.
So...are humans ready?
In the silence, Director Niu took a deep breath, then looked at Ye Ming, smiled, and joked.
"Are we considered Mr. Ye to be a good dragon?"
"It doesn't count." Ye Ming looked at Director Niu, and when he saw the encouragement in his eyes, he knew that Lao Niu was trying to reassure himself.
"Although I have a little regret, this may have attracted the attention of some civilizations. But... this experiment must be done."
Director Niu nodded heavily: "Yes! Experiments must be done!"
Ye Ming was silent, then stood up and grabbed the confidential phone beside him.
"Now, it depends on whether we are what those pessimistic science fiction writers say, 'children have mastered the nuclear bomb', or whether we have reached the height we should be at!"
