From the birth of the New Civilization School to the present, the main theoretical cornerstone is the "principle of mediocrity".

The core is two words: mediocrity.

From the entire Milky Way to the smallest of a cell, it is likely that it will be mediocre.

Let’s give 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, with 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, where we are 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 survival and development of bacteria throughout their lives?

Just take a photo on the Petri dish, which is already full of bacterial life and death. Because bacteria are ordinary, they will be similar for the rest of their lives.

By the same token, take a photo on the street casually, and 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 lifestyle, he does not need to stare at a person's complete life, as it will take too long. They only need to collect as much human data as possible at the same time.

Why?

Because most people have mediocre life, and the trajectory of these human life is similar. By collecting data from other people, one can already predict a certain person's lifestyle.

Continue, amplify this conclusion to some abstract concepts.

For example, civilization.

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

You can boldly predict that these stars are mediocre and ordinary.

What about the civilization inside?

It is most likely that it is mediocre, and there is no need to imagine aliens as particularly awesome. You can boldly predict that many civilizations inside may not be comparable to human civilization.

So...what is human civilization?

It has to be admitted that human beings are likely to be a mediocre civilization. Many great figures have indeed been born in history, from the ancient Qin Shihuang, Shakyamuni, and Muhammad to the old era Lincoln, Mao, Newton, and Einstein.

But in the entire universe, it is just ordinary, and all events follow the laws of history itself. The great men have indeed promoted the times, but the times have in turn given birth to great men.

There is no evidence that human beings are non-ordinary.

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

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

The civilization that happened at Tabixing, which was trying to build Dyson Ball, is likely to be a non-ordinary civilization.

Any mediocre civilization can know the power and uniqueness of Tabi civilization.

Dyson Ball has a huge project volume. Even if humans are one billion or even ten billion times more powerful, they will not be able to do this project.

The 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 cannot make any calculations.

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

That is to launch the Earth Age!

From the perspective of probability, mediocre civilizations usually do not do such things that seem expensive but "meaningless". Otherwise, human civilization will definitely be able to observe more traces of activity of "mediocre" alien civilizations, which is inconsistent with the existing facts.

...

Time flies, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes.

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

"Wake up, he wakes up!"

"Hey... can I hear me?"

It seemed as if someone was calling himself beside him, and the sound came straight to his ears from the distant sky.

The body temperature is recovering bit by bit, and Zhang Yuan's will is slowly awakening. This feeling is very uncomfortable, as if he was woken up from a sleepy state, but his brain has not been completely awake and he has no way to move, but his muscles are twitching instinctively.

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

"Give him some adrenaline."

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

Instinctively looking around, there were bright electric lights on the ceiling, some needle tubes were inserted on their arms, and nutrient solution was hung on them.

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

The whole environment seems a little familiar.

There is a line of numbers in the display above: 2448.11.13, 12:20.

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

There was also a nurse with a mask standing next to her. She whispered: "Hello, Mr. Zhang Yuan, this is the hospital in Area A. You have been sleeping for 183 years and have just woken up from hibernation. Don't worry, if you feel tired, you can continue to sleep for a while."

Hibernation is a bit different from normal sleep. Although he has been sleeping for 183 years, Zhang Yuan still feels very tired and has no way to think about any problems.

This time, I slept for another three days.

With the nourishment of the nutrient solution, he has slowly recovered his health.

"Miss Mary, thank you, can I eat jerky beef?" Zhang Yuan said in a hoarse voice while lying on the hospital bed.

"You can't eat beef jerky for the time being. You can only eat probiotics these days to restore your stomach and intestines and add a little porridge."

The nurse smiled and said, "You may be the most greedy patient I have ever seen. Most people will ask what happened in the past hundred years after waking up..."

Zhang Yuan was a little nervous.

Don't he want to know?

However, he was a little scared and a little afraid to face the past story.

"Well, is the spaceship normal?"

"Everything is normal, no major problems have occurred."

"That's good."

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

He was received by a liaison officer named Yu Feng. The old man Zhang Yuan, who was about 50 years old, met him. He was once a professor at Deep Space University, but now he has become a political liaison officer.

"A job at the level 16? High-tech talent!"

When he saw his information, Yu Feng was a little surprised, "Mr. Zhang, unfortunately, this is a little New Year, with a sober population of only 600. If you don't have a life partner, you may be lonely..."

"Thank you, I'm used to being alone."

Zhang Yuan forced a smile and nodded.

The Little New Year refers to an era when the sober population is very small.

There will be one big year every 20 small New Years.

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