Although he is more than 70 years old, he can't see too much stability from this old man. Regardless of the walking posture or the habit of looking at the right, it looks like a 16- to seven-year-old child.

But think about it too, Jiang Chen asked himself, if he had been in a wheelchair for decades, he might not be better than him.

Just as Jiang Chen looked at the old man ’s back, Hawking turned his head, looked at him with its slightly funny face, and said ridiculously.

"Then Mr. Executive, if you have any questions, please ask as soon as possible. But you are a big man with hundreds of thousands of people in a second. You should not have much time to waste on campus."

Jiang Chen smiled noncommittally, and after a moment of pondering, he asked.

"3.7 billion years ago, you said that if civilization really existed for 3.7 billion years, what would they develop into?"

"This question is very interesting. What do you think they will develop after giving dinosaurs 100 million years?" Hawking did not directly answer Jiang Chen's question, but threw another question.

"Is dinosaur a civilization?" Jiang Chen asked back.

"Are ants counted as civilizations? Are bees counted as civilizations? Do birds in the sky have their own society? Maybe there are, but we can't understand them, or never put them in our eyes." Hawking shrugged and said, "Arrogance It is one of the attributes of civilization. It is weaker than us and becomes a slave, and then weakly becomes food, and even food ca n’t be regarded as a bug. "

Speaking of which, Hawking grinned suddenly.

"We are lucky, at least our civilization has caught the attention of our neighbors, and they have not been ignored by them as dispensable bugs."

"You call this lucky?" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.

He even petitioned those bugs to treat him as a bug, instead of striking his life across a distance of 20.5 light years.

"Of course lucky. The Indians have at least a chance to fight back against the European colonists, and will the bugs have that chance? Stand, look, you almost stomped that little life to death." Hawking stretched his hand. Chen Yi, under Jiang Chen ’s surprised eyes, pointed to his feet, "Yes, I am referring to the ant. If it was not for me to remind you, you did not even notice. You will not communicate with it, nor I do n’t care what it thinks about, nor do they pay attention to whether they have made technological breakthroughs in the nesting process. "

Hawking grinned and squatted down. He picked up a dead wood branch and placed it in front of an ant.

The little ant was puzzled by the sudden obstacle, and the antennae on his head wobbled back and forth. Eventually, he chose to go around ...

"Our life was taught a lot of common sense, but common sense is often just a synonym for prejudice."

Turning his head, Hawking looked at Jiang Chen.

"Do you think it will think about why this branch is in front of him?"

"Do you think I should answer this question from a philosophical perspective, or from a scientific perspective?" Jiang Chen said helplessly.

I am not an ant. How do I know if it knows that this branch will be in front of him?

Hawking chuckled, turned his head, looked at the ant walking around the branch, and continued.

"It has nothing to do with philosophy and science, if it has to be said, it should be cosmology."

Jiang Chen felt his mouth twitch.

"Cosmology?"

"Yes. The definition of cosmology is the study of the universe as a whole, and extends to the discussion of the status of human beings in the universe. It cannot be considered philosophy, and certainly not science, but both are a little bit."

As he said, Hawking reached out and picked up two branches, blocking both sides of the ant and surrounding it.

"If you come an hour early, you should have just sat in the classroom and listened to the stories that Fermi ’s paradox and cosmic sieve had to tell. But unfortunately, you missed the lively and interesting public elective class. But It's not too late. If you invite me to eat pinecone, I — "

"No problem, no matter how much you eat." Jiang Chen said quickly.

Hawking smiled and pointed to the triangular cage made of branches on the ground. He completed the "masterpiece" in three seconds.

"This branch is the cosmic sieve it faces. If it goes around, then it can live. If it figured it out, then it can become a different kind of ant. If it is blocked ... … "

After a pause, Hawking stood up slowly, patting the dust on his clothes.

"It will starve to death here."

After listening to Hawking's words, Jiang Chen frowned, and suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his brain, and his lips opened and closed thoughtfully.

"Fermi Paradox, Universe Sieve ..."

Jian Chen's eyes gradually brightened as he seemed to catch something in his head.

At this moment, he noticed that the ant extended its tentacles to the branch, trapped in a triangular cage and unable to find a way out. He began to try a new idea and climbed over the branch. However, from the beginning to the end, it did not notice, or never thought, who was manipulating the obstacles before it.

"Now I answer your question. You asked me to what extent is there enough time for a civilization to develop in 3.7 billion years. I cannot answer you unless you can tell me what they have done in these 3.7 billion years. What did you encounter. "

"On a time scale of hundreds of millions of years, troubles are always endless. Natural disasters, diseases, wars ... In fact, these are small problems. Just like this branch, no matter how many more it comes, it can eventually pass. . "

Looking at the ant who successfully climbed the branch, Hawking smiled.

"Of course, it is not always so lucky, especially when it meets a moody" God "."

Hawking raised his feet, and stepped the ant and the triangular branches, all under his feet ...

......

After chatting with Hawking for a while, Jiang Chen felt that he figured out many problems.

Not only the civilization that was 3.7 billion years ago, but also the extraterrestrial civilization that was 20 light years away. The question he originally couldn't figure out or hesitated about, he found the answer one by one at this moment.

After coming to the cafeteria, Jiang Chen paid for the treats and ordered two full pine cone pies for the old man.

To tell the truth, he really did n’t know what the sweet and greasy thing was, but Mr. Huo, who was sitting opposite, chewed with relish and could only feel the difference in food culture. In the principle of not wasting food, Jiang Chen had to dismember the portion on his plate with a fork, and patiently ate it bit by bit.

It's a miscalculation. I forgot that this product is from England, the pioneer of the dark cooking world!

"You don't have to force yourself if you can't eat any more." With Erlang's legs tilted, Hawking smirked and stuffed his fork pie pieces into his mouth, wrinkles all twisted together.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt that the old man was too cheap to laugh.

"No food, no appetite."

Jiang Chen finally gave up the half of the pie left on the plate, threw the fork into the plate, and after saying goodbye to Hawking, he picked up the plate and walked to the food truck at the door.

Because the car was parked under the teaching building, he had to return the same way.

However, as he passed Lin **, who had previously passed through, he discovered that a group of students circled the lawn and set up a temporary stand, which looked very lively.

Intrigued by curiosity, Jiang Chen took two steps over there, grabbed a passing student, and pointed at the other side and asked casually.

"What are they doing there?" (To be continued.)
