Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

The same thing happened in two lives.

Under Mo Dao's intentional guidance, it presented two different results.

In the previous life, the source of material 026 was almost submerged in the long river of history and did not cause much waves.

But this life is obviously different.

Mo Dao gently moved the trajectory of human history.

…

In August,

after Mo Dao talked with the old leader.

For the increasingly lively discussion about extraterrestrial civilizations on the Internet,

Qiusuo Research Institute commissioned Huaxin News Agency and did not directly respond to extraterrestrial civilizations.

It only explained the source of the rumor of extraterrestrial civilizations,

some information of material 032.

"...The material temporarily named 032 was found in a small amount in lunar craters. It is speculated that it remained on the lunar surface after the collision of extrasolar meteorites with the moon."

"As for the issues that the public is concerned about, the 032 material does show characteristics that are not born in a natural environment. While being an excellent material in itself, it is also a synthetic precursor for a newly discovered room-temperature superconducting material. Its own synthesis path is very different from the current development in the field of materials science, showing a completely different development direction..."

This article authorized by the materials field team of the Qiusuo Research Institute to be published by Huaxin News Agency is written in great detail.

Although it does not mention the possibility of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations,

it is enough for the public.

The 032 material is not born naturally, nor is it synthesized by humans.

If it is not from extraterrestrial civilization, where else can it come from?

Acknowledging that the 032 material is a product of the history of extraterrestrial civilization is equivalent to directly acknowledging the existence of extraterrestrial civilization.

A group of people who were originally discussing the topic of extraterrestrial civilization were still waiting for the Qiusuo Research Institute to give a different response.

Unexpectedly, this time, it directly confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial civilization.

The entire Internet is naturally getting more and more lively.

…

“I don’t know how far away this civilization is from us, and what kind of civilization it is.”

“It should be more advanced than us. It has only been more than a decade since we achieved room-temperature superconducting materials, but the time it took for 032 materials to appear on the moon is likely to exceed this time, not to mention the time it took to fly to the moon.”

“This at least proves one thing. As an intelligent civilization, we are not alone in the universe. This was just a question before, but now it is a definite sentence.”

“It is not alone, but I just don’t know whether the intelligent civilization behind this 032 material is a friend or an enemy.”

“Who cares? If it can come to meet the earth, it should have met long ago. I probably won’t live to that time anyway, so it’s none of my business.”

“…Should we be more cautious in our future exploration of the extraterrestrial world? Theoretically speaking…the farther we step into the universe now, the higher the possibility of being discovered by another powerful civilization.”

“The upstairs Yeah, why don't we take down the near-Earth space as well, so that all humans can only stay on Earth from now on, and it is a crime to explore the outside world, what do you think... Instead of thinking about taking advantage of this period to become stronger, you put your hopes on the enemy not noticing you because you are weak, which is really ridiculous..."

The heated discussions on the Internet, to a large extent, also reflect the reaction of the entire human society to this.

Except for some non-mainstream attitudes held by only a few people,

most people's attitudes towards this matter are basically divided into three types.

Positive ones believe that since there is an intelligent civilization with uncertain technology level and location, but only certain existence, it is somewhere,

and it has already had a certain degree of intersection with human civilization because of 032 materials,

then we should take advantage of this period before we really come into contact and encounter it, and develop our own technology and improve the strength of human civilization,

so that when we really encounter it, human civilization will have more choices.

Then, it is negative.

Generally negative ones basically think that perhaps this unknown intelligent civilization will bring threats, but not now.

So we will live the same way now and in the future, just as if this intelligent civilization does not exist at all.

When this intelligent civilization really encounters humans one day, most people today will probably be gone, so who cares.

Some are particularly negative,

and just want to shrink the scope of human development in space,

which is equivalent to giving up the idea of ​​competing with this unknown civilization, and just shrinking into a ball, praying not to be discovered.

However,

most people at this time still have a positive attitude to deal with it,

which is largely directly related to the Qiusuo Institute and Mo Dao.

People in this era are in a period of rapid technological development, with no sign of stagnation,

and they were quite optimistic about the development of science and technology in the past, and this optimism is still maintained now.

Since humans have been able to enter the era of controlled nuclear fusion in the past ten years,

then in the future, humans will naturally be able to enter an era with more developed productivity and be able to compete with that unknown intelligent civilization.

To some extent, they don’t believe in themselves, but believe in the Qiusuo Institute.

…

At the level of various countries,

after China chose to respond actively, other parties actually had no choice.

It’s not that China affected their own choices.

And purely, at this moment, the exploration of the extraterrestrial world is mainly in the charge of the Qiusuo Research Institute.

Whether any of them want to shrink does not actually affect the decision that has been made at the human level.

In August,

After the article about the 032 material authorized by Huaxin News Agency,

Qiusuo Research Institute has not published any comments or public papers on such topics.

For the further question of whether extraterrestrial civilization exists, no explanation is made. It does not deny, but it does not discuss.

The entire human society's cognition of extraterrestrial civilization is basically maintained in the state that the existence of extraterrestrial civilization can be confirmed, but there is no more information about extraterrestrial civilization.

After the extraterrestrial civilization incident,

in addition to the lively discussion of the topic, unlike other technological breakthroughs that can bring immediate results and obvious changes to the entire human society,

the existence of extraterrestrial civilization does not seem to have much impact on people's lives at the first time.

However, the impact on people's thoughts and cognition is extremely far-reaching,

and it will continue to have an impact.

…

In October, under the communication and coordination from above,

Qiusuo Research Institute donated a sample of 032 material to the National Museum.

This is the only thing that human civilization can completely confirm as the creation of another extraterrestrial intelligent civilization so far.

From then on, as long as the museum is still there, it will always be here.

And as long as people see it, there is one thing that cannot be erased, that is, the existence of an intelligent civilization.

In December,

at the press conference summarizing the development of science and technology and productivity that year,

the possibility of extending the 20 major construction plans was mentioned again. At the same time, in the announcement of relevant data,

the resources tilted towards scientific research, industrial development, and interstellar exploration and development will increase more significantly in the coming year.

It seems to be affected by the atmosphere of active response to extraterrestrial civilizations that is generally high in the entire human society at this moment.

Mo Dao's 100% true only slightly changed the big lie about the subsequent development direction of 032 materials,

and began to cause a lasting impact.

Mo Dao woke up from hibernation this time, and half of the things he needed to do were completed.
