Section 331 The Dark Forest
The news of the destruction of that planet came out, which also caused the entire human society to enter a boiling again. Sociologists, who were no longer taken seriously, were once again taken seriously.
And at this time, the sociologist himself was in hiding.
When the water droplet destroys the earth's warship, sociologists suddenly decide that the water drop is coming at them. Naturally, this seemingly ridiculous idea has not been approved by anyone - especially since the panic caused by the water droplets has swept the world, and no one is even more aware of him now. The only one who is willing to believe his words is Renault, who has always had a good relationship with him.
Although Renault knew very well that Tomoko was spying on the world and it was useless to hide, in order to reassure the sociologist, Renault still took him away from the dangerous crowd and rested in the distant suburbs, where they sat in the wilderness and waited for the judgment to come.
But it was not the judgment that greeted them - instead of the drops rushing to the earth, they flew to the sun, and through the portable media on the hovercars, they soon learned that humanity had now taken sociologists as the last straw.
On the TV screen, it's the reaction of the crowd in the city. Compared to earlier, they had all given up hope of survival, and at this time they were all in a different kind of frenzy. They chanted the sociologist with a religious fervor that he would save the planet.
This is humanity's last hope.
Hearing this, even the sociologist himself was stunned for a long time, and then he smiled meaningfully.
"The messenger of a higher civilization, the chosen people of God, the angel of salvation of mankind...... What the hell is going on? ”
Looking at the evaluation of sociologists on TV, Renault was also a little puzzled.
"I'm not who they say I am, it's just, the destruction of that planet. One of my ideas proved right. ”
"What thoughts?"
Reynolds's question stunned the sociologist for a moment, he thought about it and decided to explain it to his friend.
And this question is also the question that all viewers are looking forward to.
There are many theories about this, but simply put, there are two important points: First, if there is a lot of Chinese in the universe, then there must be good and evil, and we do not know their good and evil. Second. The advancement of science and technology has the possibility of explosive development, which makes it possible for younger civilizations to surpass older civilizations, you know? ”
Renault nodded, both of which were simple.
"So, here's the problem: first, we can't estimate whether other beings in the universe are good or evil, and second, we can't estimate whether other beings in the universe are strong or weak, then. In the face of this situation, in the face of this situation, we are like being in a black forest, we are hunters. It's also prey - so what do you do to survive at times like this? ”
"The first is not to be able to reveal your position."
Renault immediately came to a conclusion, and the sociologist also turned off the lights of the hovercar at this time.
Everything around. It's all dark, as if you've really entered the Black Forest.
"Yes, you're right. The civilization in the universe is like you and me, squatting in the dark, careful not to expose itself, then there is a problem here: if at this time, suddenly someone suddenly lights a cigarette butt in the dark, facing this enemy with unknown firepower and unknown hostility, Renault, you used to be a policeman, tell me, what will you choose to do? ”
With this in his mouth, the sociologist lit the cigarette butt in his hand, he put the cigarette butt on the ground and let it burn there. The cigarette butts in the wind seem to be extinguished at any moment, and they look insignificant, like the earth's civilization crumbling. However, behind this cigarette butt, there is the outline of a dark shadow that cannot see the face of a person clearly.
In the darkness, the faces of the two men were blurred. The camera of the movie is specially blurred at this time, so that people can't see their faces clearly. Their appearance was as dark as the background, and in this darkness, only the firelight of cigarette butts flickered and glittered on the screen.
With only a little light on the huge screen and a huge black shadow behind it, the environment is undoubtedly terrifying in a movie theater. And combined with his words, it makes people shudder.
In the face of this sudden appearance of light in the darkness, and the huge black shadow hidden behind it, what should be the wise choice?
The camera panned and shone on Renault's face, Renault didn't speak immediately, and the slightest glimmer of the cigarette butt made his face look a little gloomy. He gave people two or three seconds to think before he spoke.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, he scolded directly.
What his choice was, people all understood.
In fact, from the very beginning, it was very clear what his choice would be: people did not know the story in the dark forest, but they knew very well what the police would do in the face of such a situation. It is impossible to verify how many police officers have shot and killed people in the United States, and Renault is a very resolute policeman, and his choice will definitely not hesitate.
A shot to kill a possible prisoner in the dark is more likely for him. Because if you don't shoot, you are very likely to be killed by the other side -- when the police arrest criminals, they also need to survive, and the gun policy in the United States also determines the firepower of prisoners and policemen, and it is not necessarily who is stronger.
Of course, people will always say that such shooting is immoral and does not have enough restraint. However, in the face of survival, people cannot always make the most restrained choice. If humanity can't do it, how can other civilizations be asked to do it?
And when you understand this, people understand what sociologists mean by broadcasting into the universe. Broadcasting one's position to the whole universe is tantamount to exposing oneself to the hunters and beasts of the whole universe. Some of the other civilizations in these universes may be very friendly, but as long as one of these civilizations is malicious, then the human civilization will be destroyed.
Like the planet that was destroyed, slain by a higher civilization - it was determined by the instinct of survival.
This theory, the audience quickly figured it out. It's a simple theory, but it makes people shudder. In countless novels, people have seen all kinds of theories of the universe, but this one is undoubtedly the darkest one.
"What the Trisolarans are afraid of is that we announce the location of the Earth to the whole universe. If we do this, then our planet will be exposed to the whole universe, and as long as any civilization has the ability to destroy the earth, the earth will no longer be safe. The Trisolarans have lived for years with the possibility of destruction, and they fear that their civilization will happen again. ”
At this point, the sociologist's analysis is all derived. What he did, it's all clear.
"I launched a planet's position into the universe to have other civilizations in the universe fire at it, and if you think the same, there are other civilizations in the universe. This also means that as long as we can shoot spells towards the sun, we have the capital to negotiate with the Trisolarans, and we still have hope of turning the tables! ”
With some pride he spoke of his plans, and the full picture of the sociologist's vision was presented to Renault.
This plan is not only his pride, but also makes the audience feel extremely excited at this time.
Throughout the movie, human beings fail again and again, the human fleet is completely annihilated, and human beings are cornered by the Trisolarans again and again, but there is no possibility of resistance. The Trisolarans have repeatedly confronted humanity with silence and contempt, and such an attitude has long made humanity feel hopeless.
The gap between civilizations makes people feel incomparably small, and as human beings, they naturally refuse to accept the fate of their own destruction. Therefore, when it is learned that humans know a way to defeat aliens, and aliens are indeed extremely afraid of this method, as a human audience, it is natural to feel extremely excited.
Unexpectedly, this unobtrusive sociologist has such a side.
His thoughts actually coincided with Rediaz in many ways, and they also used the destruction to threaten the Trisolarans from invading. But, unlike Rediaz's self-destruction, his idea is to die with the enemy, and, because of the uncertainty of this plan, it is all the more frightening.
And this idea was also presented to the audience at this time. This made the audience applaud. As long as they can put this idea into practice, then the Trisolaran's aggression will likely be stopped.
Can this idea be realized?
"We're going to the United Nations, and we're going to save the planet."
Renaud has always been a man of action, and when he understood it, he immediately put it into action. He got into the hovercar and drove towards the United Nations. And after getting in the car, he also turned on the car TV.
However, at this time, the picture on the TV screen suddenly became blurry.
"What's going on? Broadcast accidents? Renault tapped at the old TV. The sociologist also frowned a little, but, immediately, he figured out something, "It's not good...... We're done. ”
"What do you mean?" Renault asked rhetorically.
"It's not an airing accident -- it's a drop of water. It is emitting strong electromagnetic waves towards the sun, interfering with the band in which the sun can amplify - that is, the possibility that we can send a spell into the universe through the sun is broken. The sociologist smiled wryly, "The drop of water is not here to kill me, it is ready to kill all mankind." ”
It's like being poured a basin of cold water on the head, and the conclusion has just come out, but it seems to be useless immediately. The water droplets blocked the sun, and humans could no longer broadcast to the universe.
Once again, the hope of humanity has been stifled. (To be continued......)
