Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 112: Principle of mediocrity

　　From its birth to the present, the main theoretical cornerstone of 　　New Civilization School is the "Principle of Mediocrity".

　　 Its core is two words: mediocrity.

　　 as large as the entire galaxy, as small as a single cell, the probability is mediocre.

　　 Take a simple example: Earth, an ordinary rocky planet in the solar system. The earth is not the center of the solar system, nor the center of the universe. In the universe, there are many planets similar to the Earth.

　　The sun is just an ordinary star in the Milky Way, and there are countless similar dwarf yellow stars.

　　The Milky Way is just an ordinary spiral galaxy in the universe.

　　 This can also lead to another conclusion, that is, our position in the universe and the current stage of evolution are mediocre.

　　The principle of mediocrity is so profound that it can be applied to all aspects of life.

　　How do humans study the life and development of bacteria?

　　 Just take a photo on the petri dish, which is full of the life and death of bacteria. Because bacteria are ordinary, they are similar all their lives.

　　 The same principle, take a photo on the street at will, most of the people in the photo are ordinary.

　　 If an alien with a very high level of civilization wants to study human culture and understand human lifestyles, there is no need to stare at a person's entire life. That would take too long. They only need to collect as much human data as possible at the same time.

　　 Why?

　　Because the vast majority of people are mediocre throughout their lives, and the life trajectories of these humans are similar. By collecting data from other people, it is already possible to predict a person's lifestyle.

　　Continue, magnify this conclusion to some abstract concepts.

　　, for example, civilization.

　　 Looking in any direction, you can see hundreds of millions of stars.

　　 can boldly predict that these stars are mediocre and ordinary.

Where is the civilization inside 　　?

　　 The probability is mediocre. There is no need to imagine aliens particularly awesome. You can boldly predict that many civilizations inside may not be as good as human civilizations.

　　So...what about human civilization?

　　 I have to admit that human beings are a mediocre civilization with a high probability. Many great figures have indeed been born in history, from the ancient Qin Shihuang, Sakyamuni, and Mohammed to the old Lincoln, Mao, Newton, and Einstein.

　　 But in the entire universe, it is just commonplace. All events follow the laws of history itself. A great man has indeed promoted the era, but the era in turn gave birth to great men.

　　 There is no evidence that humans are non-trivial.

　　 I have to say, this is a very frustrating prediction.

　　 Then, what kind of civilization is a non-ordinary civilization?

　　 happened on Tabby Star, trying to build the civilization of the Dyson Sphere, there is a high probability that it is a non-trivial civilization.

　　Any mediocre civilization can know that Tabby civilization is powerful and unique.

　　 Dyson Ball, a huge amount of engineering, even if human beings are one billion or even tens of billions times stronger, there is no way to do this.

　　 last question.

　　How to make human civilization a non-ordinary civilization?

　　The answer is: I don’t know.

　　 There are too few non-trivial samples that can be observed, and the New Civilization School has no way to make any calculations.

　　 But there is no doubt that human civilization has done something extraordinary.

　　 That is—launch the Earth Age!

　　Analyzed from the perspective of probability, mediocre civilizations usually don’t do things that seem to be costly but "meaningless". Otherwise, human civilization must be able to observe more traces of the activities of "banal" alien civilization, which contradicts the existing facts.

　　Time is long, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes.

　　 For a while, the whole head was still in a state of chaos.

　　 "Wake up, he is awake!"

　　 "Hey... can you hear me?"

　　It was as if someone was shouting at himself, and the sound reached his ears from the distant sky.

　　 Body temperature is recovering little by little, and Zhang Yuan's will slowly wakes up. This feeling is uncomfortable, as if being awakened from a deep sleep, but the brain has not been fully awake yet, there is no way to move, but the muscles are twitching instinctively.

　　 "Mr. Zhang Yuan, you have been asleep for 183 years, it's time to wake up..."

　　 "Give him some adrenaline."

　　 After a long time, Zhang Yuan's eyes moved and his neck twisted slightly.

　　 looked around instinctively. There were bright electric lights on the ceiling, some needles were inserted in the arms, and the nutrient solution was hanging on them.

　　There is a medical machine monitoring physical health on the bedside table next to 　　.

　　 The whole environment seems a bit familiar.

　　 There is a row of numbers in the upper display: 2448.11.13, 12:20.

　　 There are also several people on the bed next door who have also just awakened from hibernation.

　　 was standing next to a nurse wearing a mask. She whispered: "Mr. Zhang Yuan, hello, this is the hospital in District A. You have been asleep for 183 years and just woke up from hibernation. Don’t worry. If you feel tired, you can continue to sleep for a while."

　　 Hibernation is a little different from normal sleep. Although he has been asleep for 183 years, Zhang Yuan still feels very tired and unable to think about any problems.

　　 This time, I slept for another three days.

　　Under the nourishment of the nutrient solution, he has slowly recovered his health~IndoMTL.com~Miss Mary, thank you, can I eat beef jerky? "Zhang Yuan, lying on the hospital bed, said in a hoarse voice.

　　"Beef jerky is not allowed for the time being. You can only eat probiotics these days to restore gastrointestinal health, plus a little porridge."

　　 The nurse smiled and said: "You may be the most gluttonous patient I have ever seen. After most people wake up, they will consult, what has happened in the past hundred years..."

　　 Zhang Yuan feels a little nervous.

　　 Why doesn't he want to know?

　　 It's just that he was a little scared, a little afraid to face the story.

　　 "Uh, is everything normal for the spacecraft?"

　　 "Everything is normal, there have been no major problems."

　　 "That's good."

　　 On the fifth day, Zhang Yuan was formally discharged from the hospital.

　　 He was received by a liaison officer named Yu Feng. This old gentleman, about fifty years old, knew Zhang Yuan. He was once a professor at Deep Space University, but now he has become a political liaison.

　　"Sixteenth-level jobs? High-tech talents!"

　　 When I saw his information, Yu Feng was a little surprised, "Mr. Zhang, unfortunately, this is a young year, and the sober population is only 600. If you don't have a life partner, you may live lonely... "

　　 "Thank you, I am used to being alone."

　　 Zhang Yuan smiled reluctantly and nodded.

　　小年, refers to the era when the sober population was very small.

　　 There will be a big year about every 20 small years.

　　During the Chinese New Year, the sober population can soar to 20,000. A large population will maintain the entire spacecraft as a whole, and then produce the living supplies for the next 20 years within a year.

　　 The next time, everyone began to have a cold and cold year.
