Volume 1 The Last Garden of Eden 00085 The Dark Forest
In the face of such a high level of attention, Old Man Park calmly walked to the middle of the stage, and he said to Han Kongwen: "Ms. Han, I also need a little help for my next answer, so please lend it to me for a while." β
Han Kongwen smiled back politely: "It's an honor to help you." β
Blinked, looked at Old Man Park, and waited for instructions.
At this moment of billions of people's attention, Old Man Park said to Diandian: "Please help me find the details of the 'Law of the Dark Forest' recorded by our human ancestors in the Dead Sea Papers, and show it to everyone." β
Dots did so, and soon a not-so-long description of the record was displayed in the center of the stage.
Through impact return visits and AI camera close-ups, hundreds of millions of viewers around the world are reading this strange law that few people have paid attention to.
"The Law of the Dark Forest?" Yin Jiannan frowned and read his brow in a low voice.
"That's a weird name."
Lin Yan didn't speak, she watched very attentively.
I saw that the record reads:
The comprehension of the law of the dark forest is an important prerequisite for mankind to open the era of cosmic civilization, and it is also a cruel law that civilization must have and understand to reach a new height.
This rule was not first proposed by a single individual.
In fact, like all truths, the law of the dark forest also has its special manifestations in the period of human civilization, but the "lonely" human beings are born in happiness, so they are not aware of it, nor can they comprehend and summarize it.
In simple terms.
The law of the dark forest compares the universe to a pitch-black forest, which in turn resembles a barren desert.
Humans, on the other hand, are like hunters growing in a corner of the forest.
Chance luck is the key to the young hunter's growth, and the more important part is that the young human hunter is relatively "non-existent", or no one knows where he is.
These key elements give young human hunters a chance to grow.
However, in the face of the barren forest, young humans begin to become aware of the world beyond themselves, and curiosity makes them feel small and lonely.
Faced with the unknown dark forest, humans have tried to make a sound to the universe, but they have not realized the terrible consequences of this crying baby.
Young and ignorant human beings, when exploring the universe with "love", ignore the cruelty and bloodiness of the evolution of life itself.
Especially in the face of this desert.
When we were young, our "crying" was not so much looking for friends as it was bringing about our own destruction!
However, the conceited human beings did not yet realize the true meaning of the "law of the dark forest" at that time.
β¦β¦
This true meaning can be described in a figurative metaphor.
It's like you're a traveler in the desert, you have water and food, and it's limited.
Your growth is destined to die, because our finitude is insignificant in a relatively infinite amount of time and space.
And if at this time, you shout into the desert, where are you, friend?
Do you know what kind of ending you're going to have?
If you are naΓ―ve, you will think that a friend full of champagne and barbecue delicacies will appear and be willing to share with you, sublimating your existing "water" and "food" to a higher level.
But, in fact......
In the desert, "water" and "food" are finite parts that will bring you life and may also bring you death when you call on others.
Because everyone who exists in the desert has a reality that must be faced.
That's "Survival!" β
Staying alive is a fact that every traveler in the desert is aware of, and in order to survive, there is almost no such thing as "sharing".
The victor will usher in a relative length of existence and evolutionary level in this finiteness, and the loser will lose the luck that he has gained by chance.
The Law of the Dark Forest was born.
We, or humans.
If you want to survive in the dark forest, you must know how to use the darkness and the forest to hide yourself and strive to grow.
The cruel law warns us all the time, the universe is a desert, we are lonely travelers, don't make a sound, learn to be a real hunter!
The record ends here.
The words of the Dead Sea Papers, which guide a new era for humanity, are slowly disappearing.
Only Mr. Park was left in the middle of the stage, and he looked at everyone with a kind smile.
The people were silent, and in the shuddering, the innocence quietly collapsed in the minds of a part of the population, and the evolution of the mind by the laws of the dark forest had begun.
"I'm sure there are quite a few people who have understood the true meaning of the 'Law of the Dark Forest'. This is from the account of the New Age of Mankind, which is indeed sobering. And today, as we open a 'new era' on Gaia, the sudden appearance of 'Little Stone' has sounded the alarm for human civilization, because, starting from today, we have discovered the existence of another advanced civilization in addition to 'Kui'! β
"So, should we reflect on whether we have the strength to face the dark forest when the dawn comes? When the darkness is gone, will we, who once regarded ourselves as 'lonely', still be able to continue human civilization? Or do we do nothing, just conceit ourselves in the existing ceiling, and then at the moment of 'exposure', we are clearly aware of how weak we are? β
Old Man Park's tone has a bit of Yang Di's demeanor, and under the catalysis of the years, the expression of this passage is even more eloquent.
The expressions of the audience also changed from incomprehension, reflection, and dazedness at the beginning to seriousness.
"Yes, we are great! We created the dome, but we also created the 'xeno'! We are not alone! We drove out Qui, but we never really 'defeated' them! We are arrogant! We became the 'Creator', but we were almost wiped out by the 'Golden Birdcage' we created with our own hands! β
As he spoke, Mr. Park was also asking himself, and he was reflecting on all mankind.
The seriousness of the audience became somber and depressing.
They recalled the "end", the "buildings" on both sides of the river, and the "golden birdcage" that made people talk about it......
It seems that every time humanity advances is nothing more than a failure, but in the midst of failure, something has been redeemed and it has survived.
This sentiment is amplifying.
Old Man Park noticed it, so he smiled and took out the box that trapped the "little stone" before.
"However, thanks to the appearance of our reflector, with the help of this slap in the face of humanity from the 'little stone', we are sober! From today onwards, science will break the shackles of '1+1=2', humanity will enter a new era of '1+1=3', and we will always work with reflectors to create a new chapter for humanity in the future! This step is just the beginning, and the future of 1+1=4, =5 and even higher is waiting for us! β
Mr. Park said very confidently and excitedly.
But many in the audience began to get confused again......
What 1+1=2,=3??
However, seeing him so happy and confident, it seems to be quite powerful!
So even though only a small number of people understood what Professor Park meant, the audience's emotions were reinvigorated.
Yin Jianan applauded with a blank face, and laughed dryly: "I don't understand at all, why is he so excited?" β
Lin Yan didn't speak, her expression was serious, and her hands were clenched very tightly.
