Chapter 218 Accidental and Inevitable
This is a huge hole between the discrete ecliptic disk and the speculated Alt Cloud. A very flat asteroid was found here, and the conclusion that it was very likely formed in the solar system through material composition analysis. Then further speculation is obvious: it comes from the Alt Cloud. Because of some unknown reason, it may be the gravitational disturbance of internal planets, or it may be due to the mutual impact between objects, it changed its orbit, came from the Alt Cloud to the inner solar system, and was eventually discovered by the Xinghai spacecraft.
This is also a lack of problematic inference, but this inference combined with the previous inference will bring an incredible question: "Since it was formed in the solar system and since it did not come from other corners of the universe, where did this fragment on it, obviously from the hands of the technological civilization?"
The discovery of this irregular asteroid may directly prove the existence of the Olt Cloud, which is undoubtedly a major milestone in the history of astronomy development. However, at this moment, the existence of this fragment has completely dissipated Wei Feng's joyful impact with the great discovery of astronomical discovery.
Facing Wei Feng's question, Ye Luo said in a helpless tone: "Who knows? Perhaps it's just that fragment from the outer solar system. It flew over hundreds of millions of years and countless light years alone, and then came to the solar system and embedded in this asteroid, and then we discovered it."
There is a "humor" element in Ye Luo's personality setting. Wei Feng knew that this sentence was actually Ye Luo's joke. To make Wei Feng believe this conclusion, it would be better to make Wei Feng believe that a stone he threw out of the spaceship would hit a planet in the Andromeda galaxy that happened to exist in the head of the intelligent creature in the intelligent civilization.
The probability of such a thing happening is not without. According to the principle of quantum mechanics, even the probability of a person passing through a wall directly exists. However, after calculation, the probability of a molecule in the human body passing through the wall when a person hits the wall is equivalent to the probability of a person winning the first prize every day for six million years. There are about ten molecules to the twenty-seventh power of the human body. It is conceivable how small the probability of these molecules passing through the wall at the same time.
The probability of a piece of debris that had been flying for hundreds of millions of years hitting an asteroid in the open area of the solar system is actually similar to the probability of a person passing through a wall - they are all so small that they are meaningless at all.
But the facts really exist. Because Wei Feng really discovered a fragment made from an irregular asteroid that was 500 million to 600 million years ago. Since this asteroid was formed in the solar system, there is another fragment inside it. If you analyze it further, you can only draw a conclusion: that is, the location where the fragments appeared is also in the solar system.
Five hundred million to six hundred million years ago, a piece of fragment with extremely high technology appeared in the solar system.
It does not require much complex language to explain this matter, but the things it means are extremely complicated. Obviously, there must be a reason for a fragment to appear in the solar system, and it cannot appear here for no reason. Its appearance means the emergence of a civilization - at least an alien spacecraft or an alien probe. It is a bit difficult to make Wei Feng accept that a creation of an alien civilization came to the solar system five to six hundred million years ago. Such a thing is too incredible.
"What are your conclusions about this? Mr. Captain?" Ye Luo continued to ask.
Wei Feng shook his slightly dizzy head and said, "I'll summarize the prerequisites we have mastered. First, this fragment comes from the solar system, second, it is torn from the inside, and the reason for the tearing is probably an explosion, third. The detected trace oxidation reaction shows that the creatures in this spacecraft also need oxygen to survive, fourth. It is 50 to 600 million years old, so what else can I say?"
Wei Feng made a "why" gesture and continued: "Five to six hundred million years ago, an alien civilization that needed oxygen to survive like our human civilization came to our solar system on a spacecraft, and then a war broke out in the solar system. The war caused a spacecraft to explode, and then the debris were embedded in an irregular asteroid, and then we discovered... What else can we say besides this inference?"
Although this inference is incredible, it is the most likely conclusion under the existing conditions. Apart from this conclusion, Wei Feng really has nothing to say.
"I agree with your speculation." Ye Luo said, "So what should we do next? Will we report it to the earth like this?"
"Report it." Wei Feng said, "You just need to tell the earth completely and completely. We needless to say our inferences to avoid misleading the earth."
"Okay, I'll send the message now. By the way, Captain, do you need a rest now?"
"No, Ye Luo, I thought of another question." Wei Feng said quietly, "I want to ask you... do you think we found this fragment by chance or inevitable?"
Ye Luo paused for a few moments, as if thinking about something: "Captain, I don't think what is the point of your question of accident or necessity. So what about accident? So what about inevitable? In fact, we discovered it after all, didn't we?"
Wei Feng shook his head: "No, I don't think so. I think... I encounter an asteroid in the huge hollow area between the discrete zodiac disk and the Alt Cloud, and so by chance, a high-tech fragment from five to six hundred million years ago was found on it... Don't you feel that this is too coincidental?"
"Are you implying that this matter is being manipulated?" Ye Luo said.
"Are you scared?" Wei Feng said.
"I have to admit that the inference that there is an unknown super civilization that is secretly manipulating our fate is indeed creepy. But Captain, I am just an intelligent program, and there is no such thing as fear in my database." Ye Luo asked back, "Are you scared?"
Wei Feng continued to shake his head: "I am not scared. I am thinking about such a coincidence. I think there are three ways to explain this coincidence. What you said is that due to the manipulation of super civilization, we encountered such a coincidence. Of course, this is one of the possibilities. What is the second possibility...that is, this incident was originally a coincidence event, without conspiracy, manipulation, no super alien civilization, only coincidence."
Ye Luo said: "I don't think your two statements have any meaning."
Wei Feng asked back: "Have you ever thought that this incident may not be a coincidence at all. It is not an accident, but an inevitable event?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Ye Luo replied.
"For example," Wei Feng said, "Suppose we can observe a total of one hundred asteroids when we sail inside the Alt Cloud - you have no doubt about this, right?"
"I have no doubts." Ye Luo said, "Even in such a dark environment, my four telescopes can detect similar asteroid reflections from 500 million kilometers away. Now the existence of the Alt Cloud has basically been confirmed. Then, it is not difficult for me to observe a hundred asteroids during this voyage."
"Suppose... on average, evidence about the existence of this super alien civilization can be found on every two hundred asteroids. Then... what is the probability that we have encountered a total of one hundred asteroids and found a piece of fragment made by a super technological civilization from any one of the hundred asteroids?"
Ye Luo quickly replied: "This is a very simple probability problem, and the final probability is 50%.
Wei Feng said slowly: "A 50% probability... Can this be considered accidental?"
"The probability of fifty percent is not considered accidental. This probability is quite high. Oh, I understand what you mean. Captain, you mean that the existence of alien civilization creations on the asteroids here is a common phenomenon. It is very likely that many asteroids have such evidence, so the fact that there is such a fragment on the asteroid we encountered this time is not considered an extremely coincidental event?"
"I can't be sure of this." Wei Feng shook his head, "This is also a kind of guess. After all, what we are facing now is too coincidental, and it is incredibly coincidental. And if this is not a coincidence, but a high probability event, then this matter will be a reasonable explanation."
“So what are you going to do?”
"What I want to do... is very simple," Wei Feng said. "We expect it will take 80 to 100 years to sail out of the Olt Cloud. If you can find some evidence of the existence of super alien civilizations on the asteroid during this period, or directly find similar fragments in the universe... this basically proves that this is a high probability event."
"But do you know what this means?" Ye Luoyouyou said, "Although I have no emotions, I still think this is a very terrible thing."
"Of course I know." Wei Feng sighed: "If it is a high probability event... it means that this war that occurred in the solar system 50 to 600 million years ago must have a large impact. It must be a very huge war." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
