Chapter 1132 - Fermi“s Paradox and The Great Filter (2/2)
“This branch is the Great Filter it faces If it goes around, then it will survive If it figures it out, it will become a different ant If it is blocked…”
After a pause, Hawking stood up slowly and patted away the dust on his clothes
“It will starve to death here”
Jiang Chen frowned after Hawking’s words Suddenly, like a eureka htfully
“Ferht sohtened
At this moment, he noticed that the ant extended its tentacles to the branches Trapped in the triangle cage, it could not find a way out Then, it began to explore another method; as it cli to end, it was not aware of who manipulated the obstacle placed in front of it
“Now I’ll answer your question You asked me how developed civilization will be after 37 billion years I can’t answer you unless you can tell me what they have encountered in these 37 billion years”
“On the scale of billion, the troubles are always endless Natural disasters, diseases, wars… In fact, these are minor problems Like this branch, no matter how many more branches are placed in front of it, it will eventually pass the smiled as he looked at the ant who had successfully climbed over the branch,
“Of course, it is not always so lucky, especially if it encounters araised his foot and stomped down on the ant and the branches…
…
After chatting with Hawking, Jiang Chen felt that he gained clarity over a lot of problems
Not only about the civilization 37 billion years ago, but also the extraterrestrial civilization 20 light-years away He ed to find the answers to all the questions he was uncertain or unsure about
After arriving at the cafeteria, as pro to two sets of pancakes
To be honest, he really didn’t understand the appeal of this food that is too sweet But the old man across from him enjoyed it nonetheless He could only attribute it to the difference in food culture In the principle of not wasting food, Jiang Chen had to dismember the pancake in his plate and finish the meal
He certainlycadom, the pioneer of the art of dark cuisine (3)!
“You don’t have to force yourself to eat it,” Hawking said with a smirk as he put another piece of pancake in his h as his wrinkles twisted together
Jiang Chen suddenly felt that the old
“I’ Chen tossed his fork into the plate as he finally gave up on the pancake with , he returned his car
Because he parked at the building, he had to return the sah the forest path again, he found a group of students gathered together around a temporary podium that looked extre Chen stopped a passing student, pointed to the other side, and asked
“What are they doing there?”
