Deep Space Planet Leader

From its birth to the present, the main theoretical cornerstone of the New Civilization School has been the "Principle of Mediocrity."

& lt;p>The core is two words: mediocrity.

As large as the entire Milky Way galaxy, as small as a single cell, the probability is mediocre.

A simple example: Earth, an ordinary rocky planet in the solar system. Earth is not the center of the solar system, nor the center of the universe. In the universe, there are many planets similar to Earth.

The sun is just an ordinary star in the Milky Way, and there are countless similar dwarf yellow stars.

The Milky Way is just an ordinary spiral galaxy in the universe.

This can also lead to another conclusion, that is, our position in the universe and the current stage of evolution are mediocre.

The principle of mediocrity is so profound that it can be applied to all aspects of life.

How do humans study the life and development of bacteria?

Just take a picture on the petri dish, which is full of the life and death of bacteria. Because bacteria are ordinary, they are similar all their lives.

For the same reason, if you take a photo on the street at will, most of the people in the photo are ordinary.

If an alien with a very high level of civilization wants to study human culture and understand human life styles, there is no need to stare at a person's entire life. That would take too long. They just need to collect as much human data as possible at the same time.

Why?

Because, overwhelming majority people are mediocre throughout their lives, and the life trajectories of these humans are similar. By collecting data from other people, it is already possible to predict a person's lifestyle.

Go on and enlarge this conclusion to some abstract concepts.

For example, civilization.

If you look in any direction, you can see hundreds of millions of stars.

It can be boldly predicted that these stars are mediocre and ordinary.

Where is the civilization inside?

High probability is mediocre. There is no need to imagine aliens particularly awesome. You can boldly predict that many civilizations in it are not necessarily comparable to human civilizations.

So...what about human civilization?

I have to admit that human beings have a high probability of being a mediocre civilization. Many great figures have indeed been born in history, from the ancient Qin Shihuang, Gautama, and Muhammad to the old Lincoln, Mao, Newton, and Einstein.

But in the entire universe, it is just commonplace. All events follow the laws of history itself. A great man indeed promoted the times, but the times in turn gave birth to great men.

There is no evidence that humans are non-trivial.

I have to say that this is a very frustrating prediction result.

So, what kind of civilization is a non-ordinary civilization?

The civilization that occurred on Tabby Star, trying to build the Dyson Sphere, has a high probability of being a non-trivial civilization.

Any mediocre civilization can know that Tabby civilization is powerful and unique.

Dyson Ball, a huge amount of engineering, even if humans are one billion or even tens of billions times stronger, there is no way to do this.

The last question.

How to make human civilization a non-ordinary civilization?

The answer is: I don’t know.

There are too few non-trivial samples that can be observed, and the New Civilization School has no way to make any calculations.

But there is no doubt that human civilization has done something extraordinary.

That is-launch Earth Era!

Analyzed from the perspective of probability, mediocre civilizations usually do not do such things that seem to be costly but "meaningless". Otherwise, human civilization must be able to observe more traces of the activities of "banal" alien civilization, which contradicts the existing facts.

……

Time is long, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes.

For a while, the whole head was still in a state of chaos.

"Wake up, he is awake!"

"Hey... can you hear me?"

It seems that someone is calling himself by the side, the voice From the distant horizon straight to the ear.

The body temperature is recovering little by little, and Zhang Yuan's will slowly wakes up. This feeling is uncomfortable, as if being awakened from a deep sleep, but the brain has not been fully awake yet, there is no way to move, but the muscles are twitching instinctively.

"Mr. Zhang Yuan, you have been asleep for 183 years. It's time to wake up..."

"Give him some adrenaline."

After a while, Zhang Yuan's eyes flicked and his neck slightly twisted.

Looking around all around instinctively, there are bright electric lights on the ceiling, some needles are inserted in the arms, and nutrient solutions are hanging on them.

On the bedside table next to me, there is a medical machine that monitors physical health.

The whole environment seems a bit familiar.

There is a row of numbers in the upper display screen: 2448.11.13, 12:20.

There are also several people on the bed next door who have also just awakened from hibernation.

A nurse wearing a mask was standing next to her. She said softly, "Mr. Zhang Yuan, hello, this is the hospital in District A. You have been asleep for 183 years and just woke up from hibernation. Don’t worry, if you feel tired, you can continue to sleep for a while."

Hibernation is a little different from normal sleep. Although Zhang Yuan has been asleep for 183 years, Zhang Yuan still feels very tired. There is no way to think about any problems.

this time, I slept for another three days.

Under the nourishment of the nutrient solution, he has slowly recovered his health.

"Miss Mary, thank you, can I have beef jerky?" Zhang Yuan said hoarsely, lying on the hospital bed.

"Beef jerky can't be eaten for the time being. The past few days can only eat probiotics to restore gastrointestinal health, plus a little porridge."

The nurse smiled Said one sentence: "You may be the most gluttonous patient I have ever seen. When most people wake up, they will consult, what has happened in the past hundred years..."

Zhang Yuan felt a little nervous.

Why doesn't he want to know?

It's just that he is a little scared, a little afraid to face the story.

"Uh, is everything normal with spaceship?"

"Everything is normal, there have been no major problems."

"That's good."

On the fifth day, Zhang Yuan was officially discharged from the hospital.

He was received by a liaison officer named Yu Feng. This 50-year-old Old Mister Zhang Yuan knew him. He was once a professor at Deep Space University, but now he has become a political liaison.

"Level 16 job position? High-tech talent!"

When he saw his information, Yu Feng was a little surprised, "Mr. Zhang, unfortunately, this is In a small year, the sober population is only 600. If you don’t have a life partner, you may be lonely..."

"Thank you, I am used to being alone."

Zhang Yuan smiled barely, nodded.

Xiao Nian refers to the era when the sober population was very small.

About every 20 small years there will be a big year.

During the new year, the sober population can soar to 20,000. A large population will maintain the entire spaceship as a whole, and then produce the living supplies for the next 20 years within a year.

In the following time, everyone began to have a cold year again.
