Chapter-42

"No, that's not how it works." "According to common sense, that is correct, but don't forget about Brad," Virat said with a shake of his head. Perhaps Brad has discovered this method and has made a suggestion to you."

"So... What do you think Brad's virtues and abilities are? No matter how extraordinary he is, he remains in the category of ordinary human beings, despite his achievements. Where did he discover a way to repel civilizations of the AL2-level? Oh, of course, Brad may have been in contact with this AL2 civilization for a long period of time, and as a result, he will have this trick, but please keep in mind that if we assume this to be true, then we must modify the premise to: an AL2 civilization first, with which Brad was in contact for a long period of time, and then Brad discovered a way to repel the AL2-class civilization, and then the AL2-class civilization arranged Dyson spheres around the sun However, Occam's razor rate demonstrates that if it is not necessary to multiply entities, do not do so; conversely, the greater the number of preconditions a hypothesis has, the less credible the hypothesis is."

Virat opened his mouth and tried to say something, but he couldn't think of anything to say. A while later, Virat rubbed the back of his neck with his sleeve and said, "I can't say enough good things about you scientists."

"Allow me to say something." At this point, a voice could be heard coming from Virat's arms. Taking out what appeared to be a mobile phone, Virat stated, "The conversation between us has been recorded, and the content of the conversation will be transmitted in real time to the crisis management center so that scientists can analyze it." As a result, you and your colleagues "Let's talk about it."

"Alex, my name is Hao Fei, and I'd like to introduce myself. When we worked together in Director Brad's office, we developed a friendship." A voice could be heard coming from the machine.

"Hello," Alex acknowledged.

"We were aware of your conversation with Virat previously. The fact that what you said is very reasonable cannot be denied. It is, in fact, nearly impossible to repel an AL2-level civilization with the technological level of our own human civilization, which is at the K0.7 level. Although the likelihood of it occurring is extremely low, you should not rule out the possibility of it occurring simply because the likelihood is low. "Are you certain that Director Brad will not be able to figure out a ruse like this?"

"I'm not sure I understand what you're saying." "I just said the likelihood of it happening is extremely low," Alex said, shaking his head.

"However, for the time being, this is the only hope for the survival of our human civilization." Even if the likelihood of success is remote, we must continue to pursue it."

"To devote a significant number of resources, including manpower and material resources, to this?" Alex smiled with a tinge of irony on his face.

"You're absolutely correct." The conviction in Hao Fei's voice was palpable.

"You all got caught up in the horns and went down the wrong road." "You are being deceived by appearances," Alex stated emphatically.

"However, what is your point of view?" Hao Fei was the one who inquired.

"Let's go back to the two assumptions we made at the beginning of this conversation." First and foremost, the AL2-level civilization truly exists, and Dyson spheres have been strategically placed. Second, Brad has devised a strategy for defeating this civilization of AL2-level. My research has shown that our human civilization has discovered a way to defeat this AL2-level civilization, which I have already demonstrated. When it comes to retreating from this AL2-level civilization, the chances of success are slim. So why do you persist in believing that these two assumptions are correct?"

"The two assumptions that were used to discuss the initial conditions are diametrically opposed to one another, and the likelihood of their coexistence is extremely low. Why don't we change the starting conditions to... The envisaged AL2-class civilization does not exist, and Director Brad also believes that there is no way to repel an AL2-level civilization?"

"Huh?" Hao Fei made a sound in the instrument that had no apparent meaning, and then there was a whispering voice, which gave the impression that Hao Fei was discussing something with a group of people.

After a while, the voice of Hao Fei could be heard saying, "But... all of these phenomena imply the existence of super-extraterrestrial civilizations..."

"As a result, you have all been duped by the illusion." "If the AL2 level civilization really exists, then there is only a slim chance that Director Brad will be able to repel them," Alex said softly. If Director Brad truly possesses the ability to solve problems, then there is only a very small chance that a civilization of AL2-level sophistication exists on the planet. These two conditions are incompatible with one another. And are you willing to put your faith in Director Brad, or are you willing to believe that there is a civilization on the level of AL2 that exists?"

"Of course, we're willing to put our faith in Brad," says the author. It was a little weak coming from Hao Fei: "But, aside from super extraterrestrial civilization, how can we explain the phenomenon similar to the Dyson sphere that is currently occurring on the sun?"

Alex remained silent for a few moments before sighing and saying, "This still necessitates that we continue to explore and pursue." My recommendation is that we not spend too much time and energy on the so-called super-extraterrestrial civilization, and that we continue to return to the physical mechanism. In addition to data collection, we are also on the road to psychological analysis with Director Brad... If we can reduce the number of detours, there will be more hope for human civilization...".
