Chapter 480 Ultimate Deterrence
"So, the point of all this is to be able to communicate?"

"That's right. This is another point of view. They believe that the reason for the existence of the 'Pumping Machine Law' is because the civilizations of different dimensions have not formed effective communication——no, it should be said that the weak civilizations of other dimensions , did not learn the language of a strong civilization."

"You see, cockroaches are something we all hate, and we want to kill them all, but if one day, the cockroaches in your house suddenly line up on the ground, it says 'Hi, I don't Eat your food, I'll be self-reliant, I'll stop mass breeding', and you'll kill them without hesitation?"

".I'll—of course, I might study them for a while and kill them later."

Seeing the sly smile on Lin Ling's face, Ye Zhou reacted instantly.

That's right, this is the real purpose of the pet faction - they are actually not willing to be pets forever, their purpose is to win time.

From this point of view, their goal is the same as that of the pastoral organization, but their strategy is more sophisticated than that of the pastoral organization.

"It seems that the Western world is not completely useless, but they still haven't solved the core problem. The contradiction between the two dimensions is irreconcilable. What if one day we achieve a technological leap and invent the water pump?"

"A civilization is different from a pet after all. Pets have an upper limit, but the development of civilization almost has no upper limit."

Lin Ling nodded and replied:

"So this is a theory that is still being perfected. Establishing contact is only the first step. After that, they can try to use various means to persuade each other to let us survive-to be honest, establishing contact is not for us. There is no obvious harm, anyway, even if we don't contact, they will still kill us."

"Still, I don't like this path—I don't like being someone's pet, not even for a second."

"That's right, I don't want to be a pet either. Besides, it's not the only way."

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Ye Zhou continued:

"This theory has a lot of flaws. For example, we always have some children chatting with ants and flies. If the social system of the neighboring dimension civilization is similar to ours, such a situation should also happen. But the problem is, we've never received such information."

"No, we have."

Lin Ling interrupted Ye Zhou.

"We must have received it, but we just can't understand it."

Ye Zhou was taken aback for a moment, but did not refute.

At this time, most of the dishes on the table had been placed, and the two moved their chopsticks. Lin Ling said while eating the meat in his mouth:
"The theory of the symbiosis faction is considered to be one of the more reliable ones among the theories surrounding the nearest adjacent dimension. Their goal is clear, and their path in scientific research is also clear—after all, we have already observed quantum ghosts, so on this basis, further Expansion, at least in terms of technical feasibility, is not a big problem."

"Besides the symbiosis faction, there are many, many strange theories appearing in the collection, some of which have a theoretical basis, but some are purely whimsical."

"tell me the story?"

Ye Zhou asked with interest.

Lin Ling opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he coughed suddenly. Ye Zhou quickly poured tea for her, and then subconsciously patted her on the back. It took her a while to recover.

"I'm sorry. I choked. Anyway, there are many. For example, some people say that we should use spiritual methods to solve this problem, so that human beings can become souls and travel to another dimension; The ponds represented are all joined together to achieve energy balance; there is another one, which I think is the most operable-certainly this is compared to all these whimsy-but also the craziest."

"What is it?"

"This theory was proposed by Sid Jeff. He is a well-known high-energy physicist in Ugland. He believes that the energy conversion between adjacent dimensions is likely to be related to antimatter."

"That is to say, there is a 'membrane' between the two dimensions. This membrane is composed of enriched antimatter. When matter in one universe collides with antimatter, the energy generated by the annihilation will radiate to both dimension."

"The extraction of energy in adjacent dimensions is not actually an extraction in the true sense, but to a certain extent, they can control the movement of their positive matter and prevent their positive matter from flowing into this membrane."

"This theory simultaneously explains the imbalance of positive and negative matter in the universe and the impossibility of material exchange between adjacent dimensions, and also explains how adjacent dimensions extract energy."

"Extracting is not really extracting, but building a dam in a specific area. Damming stops the water on one side from overflowing, and at the same time, the water in the other pond overflows randomly. Over time, the energy of the other dimension will become less. ?"

"Anyway, this is a theory developed from Maxwell's goblin theory. At present, there are many loopholes. For example, he can't explain why humans haven't observed large-scale positive and negative matter annihilation energy-but he also proposed some Guessing, he believes that such annihilation is likely to occur in the dark matter region."

"However, whether the theoretical exploration is correct or not is not the point. The point is what he said, which is amazing."

"What did he say?"

Ye Zhou knew that this person was called Sid Jeff. He had participated as a representative of Ugly Country at the first conference on the crisis of neighboring dimensions --- what's more, this person was Bruce, the leader of the Hermes organization. Conn's close friend doesn't know how he managed to stay alone when the other party was wanted globally.

"He said the key to solving the problem of adjacent dimensions was to interrupt each other's motivations."

"The original motivation of adjacent dimensional civilizations is to ensure their own survival, the secondary motivation is to destroy other dimensional civilizations, and the third-level motivation is to absorb energy. This is a progressive relationship. We only need to Interrupt it, and all subsequent crises can be terminated."

"So, combined with his theory, he feels that if the result of the motivation of absorbing energy is contrary to the expectations of the adjacent dimension civilization, then they will not be able to proceed to the next step."

"Didn't you say it before? He believes that there is a membrane composed of antimatter between the two dimensions, and positive matter cannot pass through it. But what if we can artificially create a large amount of antimatter?"

"These antimatter bombs can pass through that membrane and pose a direct threat to neighboring civilizations—just like our strategic nuclear missiles."

After listening to Lin Ling's explanation, Ye Zhou shook his head and smiled:

"This is even more naive than Pet Pie. Not to mention how we make antimatter bombs, even if we do, how can we precisely throw these bombs where we want them to go?"

"So, it's his own problem, too. However, he's figured out a solution to it."

"What solution?"

"Invert the material properties of the entire universe."

Ye Zhou froze in place for an instant, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

After a long time, he asked in disbelief:

"You mean, he wants to turn our entire universe into one giant bomb?"

"Yes."

Lin Ling nodded and continued:
"This is the ultimate deterrent. If you think about it, if we are really made of antimatter, who would dare to pump our energy? We can directly penetrate the antimatter membrane, rush into their dimension, and turn their world into nothing. Fry to pieces."

Ye Zhou frowned slightly, he seemed to have grasped the loophole in this strategy.

"But the question is, if this is the case, wouldn't we become the public enemy of all civilizations? Think about it, a civilization that may bring destruction at any time, it is impossible for anyone to allow it to survive in this world for a long time, right? ?”

A sly smile appeared on Lin Ling's face again, she took a sip of tea, and then said:
"This is what I think is the most interesting part of this plan-we don't have to really all become antimatter."

Hearing these words, Ye Zhou suddenly realized.

Yes, countries with nuclear weapons do not necessarily need to have nuclear weapons, but only need to have the technology to create nuclear bombs in a short period of time.

In the same way, antimatter deterrence does not necessarily need to be transformed into antimatter, but only needs to launch an artificial antimatter bomb to any position in the opponent's dimension.

The explosion of that bomb is a signal, a signal that human beings have mastered the anti-matter transformation technology.

As long as the civilizations in adjacent dimensions receive this signal, they will never perform energy extraction again, because they don't know whether it is energy or a bomb that is drawn.

Of course, the basis of all this is based on the fact that Siddeff's "antimatter membrane" is correct.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou asked:
"So, from your professional point of view, do you think his theory may be correct?"

Lin Ling shook his head and replied:

"I don't know. This theory has a fatal flaw, that is, it needs to introduce the concept of 'dark matter' which cannot be explained in physics at all."

"An important principle of scientific research is that if there is no need, do not add entities, but now, he has added entities to his theory."

"This makes it even more difficult for us to judge the correctness of this theory-however, time will tell."

"The research on the problem of adjacent dimensions is still in its infancy. There are various novel theories emerging. Who knows which one is correct?"

"Maybe one day in the future, we can really pass an antimatter bomb, and it may not necessarily deter all other civilizations."

Ye Zhou nodded silently, took a large piece of beef from the plate and put it into Lin Ling's bowl, and then said:
"Eat, eat more, the future of mankind depends on you."

Lin Ling smiled and replied:
"It's up to us."
