Joyous Jun's Own Opinion

"Next we're going to introduce another concept—the chain of suspicion. Words like good and evil are imprecise in science, so they need to be limited in their meaning: goodwill means not actively attacking and destroying other civilizations, malicious On the contrary. The lowest kindness is not to attack but to be on guard. If you already know the existence of my civilization in the universe, please consider what choice you have for me.

Please note that the axiom of cosmic civilization should always be kept in mind during this process, and the environment and distance scale in space should also be considered at all times.I choose to communicate with you?If you do this, you pay attention to the price you pay: you expose your own existence.This is no small thing in the universe. "

"If you are malicious, then I am unlucky; if you are kind, then we can communicate further and finally unite into a larger kind civilization. But who can guarantee that the other party is kind? At this time, the chain of suspicion was born!"

"According to the first axiom, survival is the first priority. According to the first axiom, a benevolent civilization cannot presume that other civilizations are also benevolent. Therefore, you still don't know what I think of you. know whether I think you are kind or malicious; further, even if you know that I imagine you as kind, I also know that you think of me as kind, but I don't know what you think of me, how you think of me , which forms an infinite loop."

Chapter 54 Racism

"In the civilization of the universe, the biological differences between different races may reach the level of phylum or even kingdom (biological classification: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species), and the cultural differences are even more unimaginable and separated Given the extremely long distance, the chain of suspicion between them is almost indestructible. The biological differences between the human races on Earth are limited to the species level. If the existence of non-carbon-based life is considered, the alien races The difference may go beyond the boundary level."

"That is to say, whether you or I are a benevolent civilization or a malicious civilization, the result is the same. This is the most important feature of the suspicion chain: it has nothing to do with the social form and moral orientation of the civilization itself, and each civilization is regarded as a chain at both ends of the chain. Just click, no matter whether the civilization is benevolent or malicious within it, it will become the same thing after entering the network formed by the chain of suspicion.”

"But what if you are much weaker than me, and you are not a threat to me, so I can always communicate with you?" Say said.

"No way, this will lead to the second important concept: technological explosion." Luo Ji squatted on the ground and pulled out a grass, as if he had returned to the time when he first met Ye Wenjie.

"Human civilization has a history of 5000 years, and the life history of the earth lasts for billions of years, while modern technology has been developed in 300 years. From the perspective of the time scale of the universe, this is not a development at all, but an explosion! Technological leap Possibilities are the dynamite buried inside every civilization, and if any internal or external factor ignites it, it explodes with a bang!

The earth is 300 years old, but there is no reason to think that human beings are the fastest-growing civilizations in the universe, and other civilizations may have more rapid technological explosions.I am weaker than you. I learned of your existence after receiving your communication information, and a chain of suspicion between us was also established. During this period, my technology explosion may occur at any time, and I will suddenly walk far ahead of you , become stronger than you. "

"You must know that on the scale of the universe, hundreds of years are just a flick of a finger, and I learned of your existence and the information I got from communication, the root may be the best fuse for a technological explosion. So, even if I am just an infant civilization Or budding civilization is also full of dangers for you."

As Luo Ji's words fell, a terrifying cosmic scene appeared before human beings for the first time, a terrifying and hopeless future, looking at the stars in the night sky, Sai, Nelson, and Shi Qiang couldn't help but tremble. .

"Remember what Dr. Ding Yi said? How can you guarantee that the universe you see is real?" Luo Ji took a deep breath and said.

"If you are stronger than me, since I can find you, then you will be able to search for me one day, and a chain of suspicion will appear between us; if you are weaker than me, but a technological explosion may occur at any time, then it will become It has become the first situation. To sum up, first, let you know my existence; second, let you continue to exist, both are dangerous to me and violate the first axiom. Extrapolate this choice to a thousand On hundreds of millions of civilizations among billions of stars, the big picture emerges."

"The universe is a dark forest, every civilization is a hunter with a gun, sneaking in the forest like a ghost, gently pushing aside the branches blocking the way, trying not to let the footsteps make a sound, even breathing carefully He must be careful , because there are hunters who sneak like him everywhere in the forest.

If he finds other life, hunter or not, angel or devil, tender baby or faltering old man, celestial maiden or celestial god, there is only one thing he can do Question: Shoot and destroy it?In this forest, hell is other people, an eternal threat, and any life that exposes its existence will be quickly wiped out.This is the picture of the universe civilization, and this is the explanation of Fermi’s paradox. "

Luo Ji looked far away, seeing those sad humans, those carnival humans, those depraved humans, and those hysterical humans.

"Perhaps we should thank Ye Wenjie, because the Trisolarans came instead of other civilizations, otherwise we would not even have room to struggle. Between the worst and the best, we chose a middle number, and now Sophon has been sealed This is the only way for humans to send coordinates to the outside world. We have to save ourselves. Li Luo and Zhang Beihai will not come back. We are Beijingers who were left in the cave, the last stage of evolution. "

In the dark forest of this universe, there once was a silly child named human, who lit a fire and shouted beside him: Here I am!I'm here!

And now it's time for this silly boy to pay for his childishness.

"But according to what you said, the relative distance between the solar system and Trisolaris and the general direction in the Milky Way have been announced. Exposing the position of Trisolaris is almost equivalent to exposing the position of the solar system. Is this a strategy of mutual destruction?" Nelson understood Luo Edit meaning, he lost his voice.

"But do we have other solutions?" Luo Ji spread his hands.

"This is the only option!"

"This is the only choice." In the distant Taurus constellation, the same words came out of Li Luo's mouth. In the Kurt's star system, Li Luo stood opposite a large jellyfish.

They were floating in the dark space, the mother body of the Kurts, what they called the mother of all things, was talking to Li Luo.

"How can we be sure that you won't wipe us out completely." Huge mental waves emanated from the body of the jellyfish.

"We can open each other's hearts to each other, and you will see our sincerity." Li Luo's body showed a blue color, and a huge wave of mind came out of Li Luo's body, between the quantum ghost and the mother body. In the meantime, Li Luo acted as a mediator.

"Our Homeland Expeditionary Army, a total of 17 people, you can feel our sincerity. The dark forest has existed for too long. We can't go on in this stalemate. Advanced civilization The smuggling to the two-dimensional world has already begun, leaving us three-dimensional creatures dying of thirst in this three-dimensional ocean, please believe that we came here with good intentions."

The huge jellyfish felt the huge collective will of the quantum ghost, and she fell into contemplation. The colorful colors shining around her body showed that the mother body was undergoing intense self-thinking.

And the human soul cursor is shining with warm light, releasing the kindness from the heart.

Chapter 55 Galactic Federation

"We agree!" the Kot matrix responded after a long silence.After the calculation of the collective wisdom of the Kurt people, the credibility of Li Luo's words is above 70.00%. Moreover, the Kurt people also know that the battle between advanced civilizations in the universe is becoming more and more fierce, and the use of two-way foils has become a conventional weapon. Under this trend, the entire universe will inevitably fall into two dimensions.

But the Kots do not have the technological level to two-dimensionalize their own civilization, so even if they can survive now, it does not necessarily mean that the Kots will continue in the future.

But cooperating with human beings can make the possibility of the continuation of the Kot people far greater than the possibility of stubborn resistance, because this is the key to the promise of the Kot people's mother.

In the first year of the Era of Deterrence, the Trisolarans, Kurts, and humans established the Galactic Federation. The universe's first powerful alliance established by multiple races finally took its first step tremblingly.

"Let's go, Captain, we can't succeed. Even if the speed is increased to the speed of light, we can't escape from this anti-matter universe." Surrenderism began to prevail in the Trisolaran Fleet, and the Kurts and humans became one. , The powerful battle force entangled the trisolaran fleet.

The Second Trisolaran Fleet is already the last force of this era, do the Trisolarans still have the energy to build a third fleet?Most likely not.

So it is self-evident what will happen to the tens of millions of people who stay in the Trisolaran system.

"We promise to treat you humanely." The human fleet sent a rumor.

For human beings, the Trisolarans are a powerful race that has been on their heads for hundreds of years, but now they have won, even if this victory is a union with the Kurts, there is self-evident joy.

For example, in Li Luo's former hometown, although he knew that District [-] was no longer the rabbit's opponent, he would be happy if he could beat District [-].

"We choose to surrender." Difficult choices are amazing words, and the Trisolarans finally chose to surrender. They have no other choice, because even if they escape at the speed of light, the final result will not be much better.

In this dangerous universe, there are terrible enemies lurking everywhere. Compared with the unknown, at least human beings are known existences, which are more acceptable.

And in essence, the first contact between the Trisolarans and humans was based on the large-scale massacre of the human star-class fleet by the water droplets.But what was shown in that war was not the cruelty of Trisolarans, but the arrogance and ignorance of human beings.

Even the Trisolarans who launched the water droplets did not expect that they would achieve such a great result. Yes, who made human beings so stupid that they lined up all the warships to meet other people's weapons.

And just as Li Luo believed at the beginning, since humans can manufacture spaceships at 15.00% of the speed of light on the basis of applied science, it is absolutely impossible for the Trisolaran civilization that can produce sophons to make no progress in the course of 200 years.

"We Trisolarans are very strange to you humans." The leader of the Trisolaran Fleet talked with Li Luo through the communication barrier. "Your racial personality is extremely contradictory, stupid and scary, but smart and scary."

The Trisolaran Second Fleet has now completely abandoned the plan of the First Fleet, because according to their speculation, since the coordinates of the Trisolaran galaxy will eventually be leaked, the Earth, which is closely connected with the Trisolaran galaxy, will naturally not be spared.

What else in the universe is more important than the survival of civilizations and races. The closed and narrow universe environment and resources make every civilization that understands the universe picture give up any unrealistic illusions.
