Chapter 197: Space-Transferring Aircraft

"Holy crap, is this for real? This isn't just news for some political agenda?"

"How could this be news for a political agenda..."

"According to Jiang Zhe's conjecture, the cosmic law that advanced civilizations can only observe lower civilizations exists. As far as I know, the most common sightings by witnesses are [disc-shaped aircraft], followed by [large cigar-shaped ships] and [white capsule-shaped ships]. Of course, there are also [small steel ball] probes. There are actually many types of UFOs that have descended upon Earth!"

"That's right, some experts have given answers as well: Earth has long been observed by alien civilizations, exactly as Teacher Jiang deciphered in today's science popularization."

"Hiss—I didn't know until I looked it up, but it's terrifying once you see it. Does this cosmic civilization law really freaking exist?"

"Of course it does!"

People originally thought Jiang Zhe was joking—that civilization laws and such were all fake.

Who would have thought that combining civilization laws with modern, historical, and even feudal-era UFO news would directly imply one thing: Earth has long been observed by alien civilizations?

Meanwhile, inside the lecture hall.

Professor Hua Yunfeng and Old Feng also found it hard to believe.

They had both paid attention to UFO and UAP news before.

But neither had ever delved deep into it. After all, the United States often used UFO news to distract from the latest political issues.

Who could have imagined that Jiang Zhe would identify some of those cases as real? This was absolutely sensationalist!

"Is... is it true, Old Feng?"

"Things of this nature have indeed happened, but we still have to see what the astronomers think."

Soon, the crowd of astronomers below the podium grew excited.

"It's true. We really have discovered these aircraft while exploring the heavens; we just didn't investigate them thoroughly."

"Especially the cigar-shaped ones, though disc and capsule shapes are the most common. In 2019, NASA in the United States declassified a top-secret video of a high-speed aircraft that their latest fighter jets couldn't lock onto. It even appeared on CCTV later. That level of technology isn't human technology; the aircraft's acceleration from absolute stillness to extreme motion seemed instantaneous. Later, a colleague deciphered it: it's a type of hyperspeed electromagnetic gliding. It belongs to anti-gravity gliding and exceeds the acceleration a human body can withstand. If a human were inside, they would die instantly at that high speed; no human scientific stabilizer could withstand such acceleration. Other colleagues suspect that what's inside aren't carbon-based lifeforms, but possibly alien robots, as only robots could ignore that terrifying instantaneous acceleration. That aircraft also doesn't 'fly' in our traditional sense; it's 'space translation'."

"Yes, yes, yes, I even studied that news! At the time, I thought it was fake. I didn't expect Jiang Zhe to identify it as real. If he says so, it must be true!"

"..."

In 2019, two fighter pilots from the United States encountered such a disc-shaped aircraft.

Separated from the pilots by about a dozen kilometers, the flying saucer kept observing the two fighter jets.

When the fighter jet's radar locked onto the saucer, it instantly flickered away and appeared dozens of kilometers away.

Almost every time the saucer was locked onto, it would evade using aerial translation from 'absolute stillness to extreme motion.' This was enough to prove that the other party's intelligent civilization was at least 3,000 years ahead of modern Earth technology!

Some of the two elders' doubts were confirmed by the astronomers and some military experts.

Professor Hua Yunfeng and Old Feng became even more certain that this was real and not fake!

Just then, on the big screen, Jiang Zhe suddenly grinned and gave a definitive answer:

"So, does everyone still think the core of the fermi paradox is correct?"

"If alien civilizations exist, then where are they?"

"Isn't it just as you see? Those alien civilizations have long since appeared on Earth."

"Aren't their observers already under the sea in some place on Earth, in the sky above some place, in desert caves beneath some place, behind some thundercloud, or near some planet within the Solar System?"

"If space telescopes were popularized for everyone and people observed the planets in the Solar System carefully, I guarantee that most people would occasionally witness these real existences!"

In his previous life,

The majority of UFO witnesses were amateur astronomers.

Because amateur astronomers almost all have telescopes to look at the Moon, Mars, and a series of other planets.

Occasionally, they really could witness some unknown intelligent aircraft in flight.

Jiang Zhe could swear on his life that the space beyond Earth is actually very lively. It is not as the general public, who lack first-hand information, believes: [The universe is very empty, the universe is very silent].

The truth is absolutely not like that; it is bound to be incredibly lively!

"As for what radio signals Earth has broadcasted, we indeed sent them out, but the result is just like throwing a stone into the ocean—no one has replied to us!"

"This directly validates a principle: they saw it, and they even sent probe machines from light-years away to investigate Earth, but they simply never replied to us. They are always just looking here, looking there, and collecting samples of Earth's water resources and various biological specimens here and there. That's all!"

"As for face-to-face contact, well, it indeed hasn't happened. It's like if Earthlings one day discovered an Earth-like planet with local natives and unique species—would we just send people over immediately?"

As soon as this question was asked, the audience shook their heads repeatedly.

"No, we wouldn't send people; we'd send drones to check it out."

"Right, to check the air, the topography, the species, the plants, and so on. We'd only land on the alien planet after we understood everything and ensured it was safe."

"My god... isn't your perspective almost exactly like the UFO situations we encounter on Earth?"

"Exactly. If you aren't a UFO enthusiast or an amateur astronomer, you wouldn't know that a lot of first-hand news comes from us. Some of it is photoshopped, but some is real. In the end, when it's sent out, no one believes it. People say the clearer the video, the fewer the UFOs... I'm just speechless. No one believes the truth, but a bunch of people believe the fakes, right?"

"Well, I misunderstood you guys, but there really are too many fake videos."

"Then you saw the video CCTV posted of the 2019 United States high-speed saucer confronting two pilots, right? That wasn't fake; it was real."

"I don't know what to say anymore. I didn't expect aliens to be observing us all the time!"

"That's why you shouldn't always watch those fake videos. Go interact more with smart people to get first-hand news!"

"..."

The audience's logic was identical to the behavior of the UFOs appearing on Earth.

No one—no one would directly risk letting Earthlings land on an alien planet.

Most would send drones in advance to collect various data, which is identical to current UFO behavior.

These actions are even more direct indicators of intelligent behavior!

Meanwhile, on the big screen,

Jiang Zhe asked with a serious expression:

"So, what is the answer to the fermi paradox? Please tell me through the bullet chat!"

As the question was posed, a uniform wave of bullet comments appeared.

"Aliens have always existed; they are around Earth and have never replied to humans, nor have they ever made contact with humans!"

"There is more than one alien race. They have been conducting reconnaissance missions in every corner of the Earth, spying on us!"

"They. Have. Always. Existed. And have never contacted us."

"..."

At this moment, the overwhelming bullet chat all agreed that aliens exist and are hovering near Earth.

Jiang Zhe nodded slightly and gave the affirmative answer: "Yes, they have always existed and have never contacted us."

Having reached this point in his narrative, he lifted his left wrist and checked the time; it was nearing ten o'clock in the evening.

"Alright, it's almost time for the Q&A session."

"Core summary for the evening."

"Today, we have conducted a deep science popularization and analysis of astronomy, alien civilizations, and cosmic laws."

"Ultimately, we have the answer to the fermi paradox: alien civilizations have been observing us near Earth all along. They are those UFO sightings, not those triangular TR-3B aircraft of the US military."

"By the way, let me explain: the TR-3B, this triangular aircraft, is a high-altitude electromagnetic reconnaissance craft built by the US military to mimic UFOs. Its flight speed is very slow. It is a product of Earth's intelligence, not aliens!"

At this point, many military enthusiasts in the livestream room nodded repeatedly.

"I know about this. The TR-3B triangular aircraft is electromagnetically driven. It's rumored online to be an anti-gravity craft, but it's actually not. People used to think it was alien, but it's actually ours."

"Holy shit, I just looked it up. It's a fancy new toy from the United States."

"It's not that new. The TR-3B appeared in Area 51 in the United States back in the 1990s. By now, they might have already upgraded to the TR-10B."

"Exactly. Many things are products of classified projects and get mistaken for alien aircraft, but in reality, they've always been human intelligence."

"Then could the UFOs, the cigar-shaped ships, and the white capsule ships be human intelligence?"

"No, some are truly from alien civilizations. Anything that doesn't belong to the products of aerodynamics is alien. Our human civilization builds things with sharp shapes to pierce through the air. In our Earth's aerodynamics, only sharp things can break through wind resistance. But in alien physics, most of their aircraft are integrated for sea, air, and space—like a flying saucer that can navigate in the sea, the air, and space."

"Damn, I learned something today. Thanks for the explanation, big shots!"

"..."

"Alright, today's science popularization and deciphering ends here. Let's move on to the next three Q&A opportunities."

Jiang Zhe's voice came from the screen.
