"Never be able to evolve to a second-tier civilization?"

If Rosen had studied physics on Earth, he would have been able to understand that the crystal walls that now surround the continent of Atlas are, in a sense, a kind of Dyson sphere.

This kind of device, which used to appear only in theory, is actually a special material that covers the entire star, so that all the energy of the star can be collected, and generally speaking, it can be used to create similar structures, which is the hallmark of a second-level civilization.

"The crystal wall blocks the invasion from the outside, and at the same time absorbs the internal energy to maintain its own operation, which means that most of the energy in the planetary system is used to maintain the crystal wall, and only relying on the remaining energy, although it is enough for the world to continue to develop, it is far from enough to improve the level of civilization. ”

Wayne shook her head, seeming rather helpless.

"In fact, after the crystal wall absorbed all the energy exerted by the sun, this galaxy has disappeared from the universe, and the existence of this galaxy cannot be perceived by an outside observer unless they come to a fairly close place, and it is like a magical peculiarity that absorbs all the information released from the inside to the outside. ”

After a pause, she continued.

"Generally speaking, such a galaxy means that it is safe, and in the infinite universe, there are many civilizations that choose to use various ways to close their own galaxy, even if outsiders observe its existence, as long as they can see that they have closed the galaxy, then the galaxy is safe and will not be attacked first. ”

"Why?"

Rosen was a little puzzled, why choosing a self-contained galaxy would not be the priority target, according to common sense, the weaker the place, the easier it is to be attacked.

"The war between civilizations is not only a war between order and chaos, there are also wars within the civilization of order, and in the evolution of hundreds of millions of years, most of the civilization communities have formed such a tacit understanding, that is, to hide themselves, and at the same time clean up the existence that may pose a threat to themselves. ”

Wei Yin said lightly, telling the truth of this universe.

"In mortal wars, there may be situations where the weak defeat the strong or the small is large, and two countries with similar strength will also fall into a stalemate due to various strategies and luck, but this is not the case in the universe. ”

She said, painting such a picture in a clear voice.

"Except for the ultimate war of chaos and order, the wars of the next level are almost one-sided, and the third-level civilization will never start a war against another third-level civilization unless there are special circumstances, they will only attack the second-level civilization, and the second-level civilization is the same. ”

In the universe, war can only be crushed, and there will never be a stalemate.

"If the two sides are at a standoff, then the war will inevitably enter a long stalemate, and the two sides will easily be exposed to the universe and invite attacks by third parties, and the special situation of the so-called third-level civilization launching an attack is also such an example. ”

Wayne's words were cold and heartless, but they were the truth.

"Wars between civilizations are like this, no strategy, skill, tactics, luck is enough to make up for the difference in strength, the moment you decide to attack, the victory or defeat is already revealed, and such a victory or defeat is usually devastating, and all the proof of the existence of a failed civilization will be annihilated, as if it never existed. ”

"But wait a minute, in this case, wouldn't the third-level civilization form a mutual deterrent, and there is no need to hide itself?"

Lawson thought for a moment and said, but saw Wei Yin shake his head helplessly.

"Impossible, because no one knows if there are fourth-level civilizations, fifth-level civilizations, or even higher-level civilizations, above the third-level civilizations. ”

Wayne's words sent a stir to Lawson's senses, as if he had suddenly realized that he was nothing more than an ant in the vast land.

"The highest existence that can be observed at the moment is the Entropy Demon, an existence close to the fourth-level civilization, but even so, he is still elusive and hides his existence, which gives people reason to suspect that there are other higher powers above that. ”

"So...... Can a weak civilization do its best to hide itself, or block the possibility of its evolution into a higher civilization and make it public?"

Rosen seemed to understand what Wayne meant.

"Yes, in the universe, the sum of matter and energy is fixed, and civilizations at different levels use different levels of civilization to use each other, and there was no conflict in the first place, but because each civilization has the potential to grow into a higher civilization and compete with other civilizations for resources, most civilizations have chosen to clean up other weak civilizations they find, unless those civilizations themselves block the path of evolution. ”

Wei Yin nodded, as far as someone who heard this information for the first time, Rosen's comprehension was already quite good.

"I've seen many young civilizations, and when they make progress, they are eager to send signals into the universe to show off their existence, but without exception, they are met with destruction. ”

Sighing helplessly, Wei Yin had a little regret in her eyes.

"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to the survival of civilization, arrogance is. ”

Her words got Rosen thinking.

"When the Abyssal Swarm came to the Atlas Continent, the coordinates here were actually exposed to the forces of Chaos, so they could only show their weakness in the form of crystal walls, so that they could continue to exist in the universe. ”

Then Wei Yin explained the doubts that Rosen had not yet raised.

"Some people are aware of the existence of crystal walls, and they also know that crystal walls will hinder the development of civilization, so this theory was born. ”

Kill the gods, tear down the crystal walls, and go to the universe.

"Is this world just going to survive within this crystal wall?"

Lawson couldn't help but ask, the legendary powerhouses can dominate the law, but they are still just a speck of dust in the vast universe, judging from Wayne's words, the Atlas continent can only continue to repeat the past history, and it can only develop in the interval of war, but it also has its end.

Faced with this question, Wei Yin shook her head.

"The possibility of developing a more advanced civilization within the crystal wall is very small, in fact, with the current level of the Atlas continent, it will take at least tens of thousands of years to reach the peak of a first-level civilization, which is still an ideal situation without the threat of the people of Chaos. ”

What's more, Wei Yin added.

"The coordinates of this area have long been exposed, and the people of chaos have not been able to attack for a long time, and they have attracted the attention of the entropy demon, and within a thousand years, he will definitely descend here. ”
