Chapter 122 A Paradox

At this time of the white night, one can feel the vast cosmic energy in the universe, and flying in space is as free as a bird.

It took Kos ten hours to take Bai Ye out of the earth, but it only took thirty minutes for Bai Ye to fly back!

As soon as Bai Ye arrived near Liming City, he saw a golden figure flying over from a distance.

Gaia came up to him and asked, "Bai Ye, how's it going?"

"It's done." Bai Ye said.

Gaia looked at Bai Ye with some surprise. He also found that Bai Ye's current state had some changes from before.

His hair color turned black, there was a weird black ball mark on his forehead, and he was actually wearing a black armor.

The armor on Bai Ye's body is the dark matter armor, which can protect him from any harm even when traveling at extremely fast speeds in the universe.

"You... have awakened for the third time?" Gaia asked in surprise.

Bai Ye nodded: "Well, I just woke up when I was fighting that alien. How is the situation in Dawn City?"

Gaia said: "We have regained control of the World Government and the Silver Watch headquarters, but the few people from Dawn have left early."

Bai Ye nodded: "It doesn't matter. If Ji Fanyin dies, these people won't be able to do anything. Just catch them slowly. Let's go back to Liming City first."

Gaia said: "Don't rush back to Dawn City now, let's go see the spacecraft left by the aliens together."

"Okay, maybe we can get some information about the enemy planet through that spaceship." Bai Ye nodded.

The two flew directly in the direction of Kos's one-man spacecraft.

It has been more than ten hours since Bai Ye left the earth. During this period, Gaia and Elizabeth have united with some people to regain control of Dawn City.

Mo Nai and Dr. Sheen are no match for Gaia and Elizabeth, but it will still be difficult to stop them if they want to leave.

Soon, Bai Ye and Gaia arrived at the location of the Kos spacecraft.

This is a silver-white bullet-shaped spaceship, with a total length of only about five meters and a height of less than two meters. It is several times smaller than an ordinary bus.

"You can actually drift in the universe with such a small spacecraft. It seems that the civilization of this planet is much higher than ours." Gaia said.

The hatch of the spacecraft was tightly closed. Gaia tried to use laser attacks, but found that it could not leave any traces on the spacecraft.

"Let me do it."

Bai Ye pressed his right hand on the gap in the hatch. Dark matter flowed in from the almost non-existent gap. Then Bai Ye pulled hard and forced the entire hatch open.

"Tsk, it's so simple here." Bai Ye said.

Earth's single-man combat mechas still follow the style of the old era, just like in an airplane, with dashboards and various buttons everywhere. Although autonomous driving is possible, manual operation is still extremely cumbersome.

But the interior of the Taran Star spacecraft is very simple. Except for a seat in the center, there are no other unnecessary buttons or decorations.

As a space warrior, Kos does not need to breathe oxygen, nor does he need to eat or drink water, so the "space shuttle requires a life cycle system" that humans on Earth have in mind does not exist.

In front of the seat is a huge display screen. Gaia put his hand on the display screen, and countless golden threads peeled off his hand and penetrated into the gaps of the spacecraft, connecting various lines.

"Huh? This is it!"

There was an expression of surprise on Gaia's face. Many data flashed rapidly in his eyes, and then he kept this posture for ten minutes.

"Gaia?" Bai Ye didn't quite understand what happened, but he didn't bother Gaia either.

Ten minutes later, Gaia finally came to her senses.

"Incredible... I, I have unlocked a lot of things! I have unlocked all the technology of Taran Star!" Gaia said incredulously.

"What do you mean?" Bai Ye asked.

Gaia said: "When I came into contact with the intelligent system inside this spacecraft, something inside me seemed to be activated!"

Bai Ye asked: "Did you read the technology of this spaceship?"

"No!" Gaia shook her head: "After I came into contact with this spaceship, my own internal technology was automatically unlocked! In other words, these technologies have always existed inside my own brain. I only unlocked it when I came into contact with it!”

"This is a strange thing." Bai Ye said.

Gaia nodded: "Yes, it's incredible! However, I have now mastered the highest technology of Taran Star!"

The thread on Gaia's hand continued to penetrate deep into the spacecraft, directly connecting to the spacecraft's artificial intelligence and deciphering it.

"Baiye...I'm afraid the earth is in big trouble!" Gaia said in shock after reading all the data from the spacecraft's artificial intelligence.

…

Before the catastrophe, astronomers once proposed a very famous paradox.

In the universe, there are more than 100 billion galaxies similar to the Milky Way.

There are more than 100 billion stars in the Milky Way.

At least 1% of these stars have a planet similar to the Earth.

Assume that life appears on 1% of these terrestrial planets, and 1% of the life on these planets has reached the level of civilization on Earth.

So in the entire galaxy, the number of civilizations that can be inferred is a shocking one hundred thousand!

In the Milky Way, there are 100,000 planets with higher levels of civilization than Earth.

However, in the long years since the birth of mankind, no civilization has ever come into contact with Earth, and Earth has never received any signals from alien civilizations.

Obviously, this is a paradox.

Now, after Gaia explored the Taran spacecraft and obtained a large amount of information about the Taran civilization, this paradox has finally been explained.

At the beginning of its birth, every life planet in the universe has a special force field space protection.

This force field space will isolate the detection of all other civilizations and shield all messages from other civilizations.

In addition, this force field space will also isolate the cosmic energy that was originally scattered, and the cosmic energy that can reach the life planet is less than 1%.

It is precisely because of the existence of the force field space that these civilizations will not be immediately discovered and then eliminated by other advanced civilizations!

And all life planets have a relic of an ancient civilization. In this relic of an ancient civilization, there is a special substance that can completely rewrite human genes.

The limit of human gene lock is extremely low, but this substance can increase the upper limit of human gene lock, allowing humans to continue to evolve until they enter the ranks of cosmic life!

So, it is not accurate for humans to call this substance "virus".

Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a super gene medicine, but the effects and side effects are very obvious!

As for what exactly this ancient civilization relic is, and where the intelligent life in the ancient civilization relic comes from, it is also a mystery to the Talan civilization!

When cosmic warrior-level humans appear on the life planet, the planet can choose to close the force field space, obtain more cosmic energy, and continue to evolve!

But in this way, this life planet will also attract the attention of other civilizations!

Talan, where Kos is located, is an earth-like planet, but the civilization of Talan appeared much earlier than the earth, so it took the lead and continued to expand and invade in the vast years of cosmic wars. So far, countless civilized planets have become colonies of Talan!

The Talan civilization has forces spread across 39 galaxies, and the Milky Way is just one of the galaxies controlled by the Talan civilization.

On Talan Star, there is a special monitoring station responsible for monitoring any life planets in the nearby star field that have just released the force field space. Once discovered, they will immediately invade and colonize!

Of course, in terms of the level of civilization of Talan civilization, they are not coveting a life planet, but to eliminate the potential threats on this planet!

Even an ordinary life planet has a very low probability of giving birth to a higher-level cosmic warrior. Once a domain master is born on a planet, even Talan civilization will have a headache!

The content of this chapter is inspired by the Fermi Paradox and the Dark Forest System in Three Body. Interested students can go and have a look. It's quite fun. In addition, the pit of the ancient civilization ruins is still preserved, which will be useful later.
