I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 844: Cosmology
Remember [novelmao.com] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
On the campus of Koror University, under the shade of green trees, you can see a beautiful figure of youth. Most of them come from China, there is also the United States from the other side of the Pacific, and many people come from Europe on the back of the earth.
Loose and diversified school philosophy makes students from any place can be quickly integrated into this young university.
At this moment, on the brick and stone road full of book atmosphere, students are holding books, walking in groups of three to five, walking towards the direction of the teaching building. This scene is common in ordinary times, but it is really rare on weekends.
“Eh, did you hear that? Jiang Chen is coming to our school to give an open class!”
“Jiang Chen? Was that Jiang Chen? Chairman of the Future Group, the founder of the virtual reality network?”
“Really really ?! What is it talking about, I want to rub the lesson!”
“Cosmology.” said the quietly-looking girl wearing glasses.
“…”
“… Yu … Cosmology?”
“… Is it science?”
“It was really an accident, I thought he would talk about the economy, the Internet and the like.”
“Hee hee, do you still have to rub classes? It has nothing to do with our major.”
“Nonsense, do you still have to ask!” a girl said excitedly with a small star in her eyes.
“After all, it is the class taught by the richest man in the world! I heard that Harvard University wanted to ask him to explain the artificial intelligence database and the three definitions, but he did not go!” Another girl echoed.
It is true that there are not many opportunities to listen to the lectures of the richest man in the world, especially the very low-key Mr. Jiang Chen, except for showing his face at the opening ceremony last year, basically rarely appear on this campus .
Even if the name of this public elective course is rather strange, it seems to have nothing to do with Jiang Chen ’s field, but it still does not hinder people ’s curiosity about him.
No matter what the purpose is, when Jiang Chen walked into the ladder classroom, he saw that the classroom was full of people.
Classrooms that can accommodate two hundred people are being stuffed slowly at this moment. Some even moved stools from the classroom next door and simply sat in the aisle.
Looking at the passionate faces, Jiang Chen’s scalp felt numb even though he was used to the big scene.
At this time he remembered the mischievous laughter of President Rafael Leif when he called yesterday. Sure enough, the old guy told me that if he taught this open class, no matter how unpopular, the classroom would definitely be full.
The scalp becomes numb, and stage fright is of course impossible.
How to say that he is also a leader of hundreds of thousands of people. In the end of the world, he is a “big warlord” who is divided by one side. The hundreds of students are not enough to frighten him.
Smiling and waving to the stage, Jiang Chen opened the headset hanging on his ear, coughed and tried the sound, and then said.
“All of you here must be wondering why the person standing in front of you today chose the inexplicable subject of cosmology instead of imparting some more useful or practical success experiences?”
The noisy voice in the classroom gradually subsided, and everyone concentrated on the location of the podium and Jiang Chen’s face.
“This question is very easy to answer. The famous economist and Wall Street investor James Glassman recently published this book, taking me as his research object, in-depth … Of course, it is one-sided in my opinion … Analyzed why it took me and my futuristic group only three years to stand from nothing to the top of the pyramid. ”Jiang Chen smiled and looked at all the students who were sitting,“ I I disagree with his argumentation process, but I agree with his conclusion. “
“That is, my successful experience cannot be copied.”
“Since my experience cannot be copied, it is not a good medicine for you. It may be just a dose of poison.”
“But besides being successful in business, I think I ca n’t come up with any skills that can outperform you in other fields. So, I picked a subject that I am very interested in and have a little research on , Which is the cosmology I am going to talk about today. “
Jiang Chen noticed that many students picked up their mobile phones and were recording video with great interest.
However, he didn’t care. What he wanted to say today was originally intended to throw a brick.
Speaking, he turned around and picked up the marker and wrote four words on the whiteboard.
【Where are they? 】
Turning around, Jiang Chen put the marker on the table and turned his attention to everyone present.
“Where are they? This question, I think everyone here will be familiar with it. Yes, it is the famous Fermi Paradox.”
“It is estimated that the number of stars in the observable universe is probably between the 22nd power of 10 to the 24th power of 10, and the amount of sand on the earth is 7.5 * 10 18th power.” After a moment, Jiang Chen smiled, then spread his hands and said, “That is to say, every grain of sand on the earth can correspond to 10,000 planets in the universe.”
“The universe is much larger than our imagination and darker than we think.”
“This kind of darkness does not come from any aliens. On the time scale of 13.8 billion years, all civilizations are humble and insignificant. Perhaps the fire of civilization has germinated on Mars at our doorstep. Only However, it appeared in one billion or tens of billions of years ago and has exhausted its lifespan. On the earth one billion years ago, it was just a chaotic ocean, and even trilobites did not exist. “
“This is the so-called cosmic sieve. The probability of encountering an extraterrestrial civilization is minimal, and the probability of being able to discover each other after encountering is minimal.”
“But we still have to make assumptions, if we meet with extraterrestrial civilizations, and we can just discover each other and understand each other’s existence. Then I can assert that the consequences of blind contact will be quite dangerous … … “
Understanding does not mean identity, and disagreement will lead to conflict. This kind of identification is reflected in many aspects such as aesthetics, values, and core values. Just like the undead with death as its beauty, it can never be accepted by living people who praise life.
Jiang Chen did not expect his class to bring too much inspiration to these students. Many of the arguments he stated were discussed by previous people.
He just wanted to see how these students would react when he told the truth.
Through the reactions of these students, at least a rough assessment can be made of the consequences of publishing the crises facing the civilization of the earth to the public.
The class is coming to an end.
“… If, I mean, if there is a colonial ship from an extraterrestrial civilization on the way to the earth. We do n’t know where it came from, and we ’re not sure if it ’s in good faith, if you Is the decision maker of the earth civilization, what kind of decision will you make after learning this information. “
“This is your homework, I hope you complete it seriously.”
Jiang Chen noticed that after hearing this assignment, many students in the audience showed a lot of interest in their expressions.
Obviously, no one will really take this inexplicable assignment seriously. After all, no matter from which point of view, this assignment is really boring. They are not at that childish age, they will go to fantasy space, the first contact between humans and extraterrestrial civilizations, and fantasy problems.
Perhaps a job, a scholarship, or a professor ’s project can make them think seriously.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile.
After arranging the books on the desk, he coughed lightly and said to the students who were going to leave the class.
“Okay, I know you are certainly not interested in this, so I will just say it.”
“I believe that you who often play mobile phones and wear helmets will not be unfamiliar with the space colonization plan of the star ring trade. The study of extraterrestrial civilization is part of the space colonization plan of the star ring trade. I tell you, this topic has commercial value. And the assignment I have assigned is related to this topic. “
“The prize of the project is 10,000 US dollars. Ten qualified papers will be selected for distribution. If you are interested, please submit a paper to me. By the way, students who do not choose courses can also participate. The mailbox is on the whiteboard. I am more afraid of trouble. I posted my bank card account in the mailbox and sent it together … “
Jiang Chen noticed before he finished.
The pair of eyes, the look towards oneself is suddenly different … (to be continued.)
