From black technology to super engineering

Chapter 410 Deathrattle from the Asteroid
For a long time, Ye Ming had no interest in completing system tasks, and he would finish them along the way when conditions permit, and he would not say that he became that kind of "system wage earner".

But he is very interested in the task itself given by the system.

Because the task itself not only represents the attitude of the system, but also hides another layer of meaning - that is, how does the system judge the completion stage of the task, and even give the progress of the task?
Of course, as for the latter, this involves the location of the system ontology and how information is transmitted.For such a mysterious thing, all Ye Ming can think of now is that the system is on a higher plane, which can "observe" and "capture" the information of the real world without any dead ends.

More importantly, the system gives the purpose and logic behind the task.

After the task of capturing asteroids is completed, according to the past rules, the next step should be to build a space factory-this is in line with the logic of technological advancement.

But the system directly skipped this stage, and arranged for the detection of civilizations on a cosmic scale, and also accurately gave the definition of "remains"...

Obviously, the new task of the system was arranged for him after obviously evaluating the technological level of the earth.

And the task itself...

"Civilization", "remains", "utilization".

This means that the system clearly informed Ye Ming, don't think about it, human beings are not the only civilization in the universe.Not only do other places still exist, but they have also become "relics".

……

When Director Zhang walked into the office, the very famous paradox just happened to appear in Ye Ming's mind.

——In the last century, when physicist Fermi was talking about aliens with a group of friends, he asked a thought-provoking question.

"Where are they?"

If there are aliens, where are they?

Human science and technology are changing with each passing day, but apart from the alien mania caused by the popularity of science fiction works, human beings have not really confirmed the existence of aliens in the scientific field.

In order to answer this question that has practical significance so far, the scientific community, the science fiction world, and fans... have given a lot of imagination.

For example, the law of the big filter, which believes that civilizations need to pass through layers of screening if they want to develop to a certain level. By 200 years, this time, not to mention the scale of the universe, even in the history of mankind, is just a drop in the ocean.

Another example is the simulated universe hypothesis, which became very popular with the rise of computers. It believes that the human world is "simulated" by programs-humans are not virtual, but the universe is just an established program that has been set.Therefore, human beings are the only ones in the universe.

Another example is the law of the dark forest, which believes that the universe is full of hostility, and civilization is like a hunter in the dark forest, the most ruthless predator of the jungle.

Ye Ming naturally talked about the Fermi Paradox with his colleagues and friends more than once.

Everyone tends to think that the starting point of the Fermi paradox is to simply guess how many solar system-earth-like systems can give birth to life and civilization according to the probability. The universe is tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of light years away.

Then it can be explained.

Because of the upper limit of the speed of information, human beings have not received information from other civilizations at present, and in the final analysis they are still too far apart.

What humans currently receive is only information from other planets when their civilizations have not yet been born, or have evolved to a certain extent.

In other words, those civilizations are outside the time light cone of human beings.

And as we all know, the information outside the time light cone is meaningless.

but now……

The new task of the system tells Ye Ming that the meaning is coming.

"Mr. Ye, don't you want to see the blind box?" Director Zhang appeared in Ye Ming's office.

Ye Ming cleared up his mood, laughed and stood up: "If you want to watch it, watch it right away. Haha! Let's go!"

……

Moon.

The Zhanshen is ready for the final return voyage.

Their experimental factory was completed a month ago, and they stayed for an extra month, in addition to building a permanent base on the lunar surface, they were also waiting to collect helium three and return to Earth.

Like the Guanghan base next door, the experimental factory also adopts a fully automated production design, and also has ground remote control... But unlike the next door, the automated factory here does not use Aita, and even the remote communication None considered.

After all, this is a project led by the Ministry of Energy, and the final stubbornness is still necessary.

A group of astronauts stood under the spacecraft in spacesuits, watching the two lunar rovers approaching from a distance.

After a while, the six astronauts from the Guanghan base got off the car, greeted each other in the channel, and said best wishes for a smooth journey, and then shook hands with them one by one.

"Are you all leaving?" Professor Huo Liang, who insisted on staying at the Guanghan base for the last shift, asked.

"Yes." Commander Bate said succinctly, "Come back in a few months."

"Well, it's really much more convenient to have a spaceship now." Professor Huo Liang nodded, and looked around the Artemis base again: "If you have any trouble, you can contact us at any time, and we can come and take a look."

Frankly speaking, Laomei's repairs here are really decent, at least better than the first time the Yaoyue came over - because they launched several supply modules over before landing on the moon.

The experimental factory, the lunar experimental building, the lunar residential building, servers, power system...these are all spread out, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters.

It is almost [-]% of the size of the current Guanghan base.

"Okay, thank you." Bet nodded politely.

But after hesitating for a few seconds, he finally couldn't help looking in the direction of Guanghan base.

Under the bright sunlight, the Yaoyue is floating in the air, slowly descending with a huge thing.

"Did you... capture an asteroid?"

Professor Huo Liang turned his head, and his smile could be felt through radio waves.

"Yes, I picked one up by the way."

"……Congratulations."

"Bon Voyage"

……

Guanghan base, capture the landing site.

Peng Xiaofei commanded the robot to untie the net, and Yaoyue started the attitude engine and stopped at a distance of 50 meters from the asteroid.

Afterwards, two teams of astronauts walked out of Yaoyue and Guanghan Base at the same time, and approached the asteroid fully armed.

Peng Xiaofei is no exception.

He held a lot of tools in his hand, and approached while sharing the vision with Ye Ming.

"See clearly?"

"See clearly." Ye Ming's voice came from my ear: "Be careful what you say."

"Don't worry, the previous test has returned, and there is no radiation."

"Well, you go around in a circle."

He is engaged in mechanical automation control, and he can only help out when he comes here. The real work is still for those who are engaged in lunar geology.

At this time, the astronauts on the Yaoyue also arrived, and the people on both sides connected to the channel to communicate with each other, and began to take out tools one after another to prepare for sampling.

But before, everyone circled the asteroid first.

Some people even raised their mobile phones and asked their teammates to help them take a photo.

Hmm...it is indeed worth taking a group photo.

At this moment, Liu Bo, the geological team leader of Guanghan Base, suddenly took two steps forward, turned on the spotlight, and pointed to the bottom of the asteroid.

After a while, his voice sounded.

"My friends, why does this thing seem to have explosion marks?"
