On the campus of Koro University, under the shade of green trees, you can see youthful and beautiful figures.
Most of them come from China, from the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and many people come from Europe on the back of the earth.
The loose and diversified school management philosophy allows students from all over the world to quickly integrate into this young university.
At this moment, on the brick and stone road full of books, the students were walking by in groups of three or five, heading towards the direction of the teaching building.
This scene is usually a bit casual, but it is rare on weekends.
Hey, have you heard of it?That Jiang Chen is coming to our school to give an open class!
Jiang Chen?Is that Jiang Chen?Chairman of Future People Group and founder of virtual reality network?
Really true?!What are you talking about? I ask for a free class!
Cosmology.The girl who looked very quiet in glasses said.
……
...U...Cosmology?
...Is it science?
It was really an accident. I thought he would talk about economy, the Internet, etc.
Hehe, do you still have to go to class?It has nothing to do with our major.
Nonsense, do you still need to ask this!A girl said excitedly with little stars flashing with her eyes.
After all, it is the lecture given by the richest man in the world!I heard that Haval University wanted to ask him to explain the artificial intelligence database and the three definitions, but he didn't even go!Another girl also echoed.
Indeed, there are not many opportunities to listen to the lectures of the richest man in the world, especially Mr. Jiang Chen is quite low-key. Apart from showing off his face at the opening ceremony last year, he rarely appears on this campus.
Even though the name of this public-selected course is quite strange and seems to be irrelevant to the field Jiang Chen himself is involved in, this still does not hinder people's curiosity about him.
No matter what purpose it was, when Jiang Chen walked into the stairs classroom, he saw that the classroom was already crowded.
The classrooms that can accommodate about 200 people are now stuffed slowly. Some people even brought stools from the next classroom and simply sat on the aisle.
Looking at the enthusiastic faces, even though he was used to the big scenes, Jiang Chen's scalp couldn't help but feel a little numb.
At this moment he remembered the malicious laughter of Principal Raphael Lef when he was on the phone yesterday.
Sure enough, I was told by that old guy. If he held this open class, no matter how unpopular the class was, the classroom would definitely be full.
The scalp is numb and numb, and stage fright is certainly impossible.
After all, he is also a leader of hundreds of thousands of people. In the end of the world, he is a warlord who is in power. A mere hundred students are not enough to make him stage frightened.
With a smile, Jiang Chen waved to the audience, opened the earpiece hanging in his ear, coughed lightly and tried the sound, and then spoke.
Everyone here must be wondering, why did the person standing in front of you today choose the inexplicable topic of cosmology instead of imparting more useful or practical successful experiences?
The noisy sound in the classroom gradually subsided, and everyone looked at the podium with concentration and Jiang Chen's face.
This question is easy to answer.James Glassman, a famous economist and Wall Street investor, recently published this book, taking me as his research object, and in-depth... Of course, in my opinion, it is one-sided... It analyzes why my future people group and I stood from nothing to the top of the pyramid in just three years.As he said that, Jiang Chen smiled and looked at all the students sitting. I didn’t agree with his argumentation process, but I agreed with his conclusion.
That is, my successful experience is unreplicable.
Since my experience cannot be copied, it is not a good medicine for you, and it may be just a dose of poison.
But apart from business success, I don’t think I can show any skills that can be better than you in other fields.So I chose a topic that I am very interested in and have some research, 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 the video with great enthusiasm.
But he didn't care. What he was going to say today was originally intended to attract attention.
As he said that, 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 eyes to everyone present.
Where are they?I think everyone here is familiar with this question.Yes, it is the famous Fermi Paradox.
It is estimated that the number of stars in the observable universe is about 22nd power to 10 to 24th power, while the number of sand on the earth is 75*10 square grains of 18th power.After pausing for 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 ten thousand planets in the universe.
The universe is much greater than our imagination and darker than we imagine.
This darkness does not come from aliens. In the face of the 13.8 billion-year time scale, all civilizations are humble and insignificant.Perhaps Cute had a spark of civilization on Mars at our doorstep.It's just that it had exhausted its lifespan after it appeared billions or hundreds of billions of years ago, and the earth was just a chaotic ocean of water that didn't even exist.
This is called the cosmic sieve.The probability of our encounter with extraterrestrial civilizations is slim, and the probability of discovering each other after meeting is even slim.
But we still have to make assumptions that if we meet 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 recognition, and disagreement will lead to conflict.
This recognition is reflected in many aspects such as aesthetics, values, core values, etc. Just like the undead who regards death as the beauty, it is absolutely impossible to accept each other with the living person who praises 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 his predecessors.
He just wanted to see how these students would react when he told the truth.
Through the reactions of these students, at least they can roughly evaluate the consequences of the crisis facing the earth's civilization.
The class is coming to an end.
...If, I mean, if there was a colonial ship from extraterrestrial civilization on its way to the earth.We don't know where it comes from, nor do we know whether it carries goodwill, and if you are the decision maker of the Earth civilization, what decisions you will make after you learn about this information.
This is your homework, I hope you will complete it carefully.
Jiang Chen noticed that many students in the audience seemed to have a very lack of interest after hearing this homework.
Obviously, no one will really take this inexplicable homework seriously.
After all, no matter from any angle, the assignment is really boring.
They are no longer that naive age, and they will fantasize about space, the first contact between humans and extraterrestrial civilizations, and the unrealistic problems.
Perhaps a job, a scholarship, or a professor's topic can make them think about taking it seriously.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
After sorting out the books on the table, he coughed gently and said to the students who were about to finish class.
OK, I know you must be non-interested in this, so I'll just say it.
I believe that those who often play with mobile phones and wear helmets will definitely be familiar with the space colonization plan of the Star Ring Trade.Extraterrestrial civilization research is part of the space colonization program of the Star Ring Trade. You may find it boring, but now I tell you that this topic has commercial value.And the homework I assigned is related to this topic.
The bonus for the project is 10,000 US dollars, and ten qualified papers will be selected to be distributed.If you are interested, then hand me a paper.By the way, students who do not have courses can also participate, and the email address is on the whiteboard.I am more afraid of trouble, so I posted my bank card account and sent it to my email...
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Chen noticed it.
Those pairs of eyes looked at me and their eyes suddenly became different...
