00832 Accidental
Before you know it, Mannie has been in the camp for a whole month.
During the month, Mannie did not appear to be so restless because of the unknown whereabouts of Guan Dehou, on the contrary, she has fully integrated into the place, and has gathered a lot of useful things through her sensitivity to data and information.
For example, Mannie learned about the more apocalyptic scenarios that this camp has simulated in the past three years through her contact with the wilderness.
Mannie also wrote a booklet about the post-apocalyptic scenarios and how to deal with them.
Here are three of Mannie's doomsday ideas that Mannie thinks are worth pondering.
The first, the invasion of advanced civilizations.
The concept of an advanced civilization invasion is familiar to everyone, and almost all science fiction movies revolve around it.
Among them, the most classic ones are the more commercial "Superman", "Transformers", and "The Avengers", as well as the relatively more literary and philosophical "Arrival", "Prometheus" and "Annihilation".
Whether it is a sci-fi blockbuster with superheroes as the protagonist, or a relatively milder philosophical sci-fi film, the alien advanced civilizations as invaders have their own weaknesses.
Coupled with the constant concept that humanity will win, many times the extraterrestrial advanced civilization gives people a very retarded feeling.
So, an amateur film critic at the camp used a special concept to simulate a post-apocalyptic scenario that had sent the entire camp into a panic.
The specifics of this concept are as follows:
First, the Earth was discovered, and the sounds made by humans attracted extraterrestrial civilizations.
Then, extraterrestrial civilizations already have the ability to travel interstellar, and this ability can also be conceived in the current scientific environment of human beings.
Then, after the alien civilization decided to attack, they used weapons to destroy the moon.
The earth that loses the moon will enter an extremely bad state that is no longer suitable for life to reproduce, and at that time, Mo said that human civilization will be destroyed in a very short time, and the entire earth's ecosystem will be wiped out.
From this concept, this amateur film critic came to the conclusion that if the earth is really exposed to the vision of other advanced civilizations, then there is no need to invade the earth, they can just blow up the moon.
So what kind of weapons do you need to blow up the moon?
There were all kinds of talents in the camp, and someone soon gave a not too specific, but very clear answer.
"It is theoretically possible to do it with the weapons that mankind currently has."
As soon as this answer appeared, the camp quickly fell into a panic because everyone was "overwhelmed".
Maybe this is purely full in the eyes of ordinary people, what is there to worry about? After all, the premise of all this is that the earth is exposed.
However, some scientists have long said that the earth exists in a relatively marginal dark area of the universe, and the earth is so small, we don't need to worry about the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations.
But these people in the camp are different, they have let go of this notion of peace before they come here, and they have to think about the premise that the end is coming.
It may sound neurotic, but Mannie finds it funny when these people are "seriously crazy".
In particular, during her contact with Haranomaki, Mannie found that the Japanese girl who had lost her home did not show much anxiety, on the contrary, the longer she stayed in the camp, the better her mental state and the more open-minded she became.
It's like a veteran who has experienced many apocalyptic disasters in the past three years, and her every move is full of confidence, and you can feel the calmness and calmness of this girl in her words and deeds.
From the field herd, Manny vaguely saw the real appearance of this camp.
"They're not simulating the apocalypse, they're in the cloud and the future!"
After coming to this conclusion, Mannie became much more calm, and she began to actively participate in these simulations.
And try to solve the classic "doomsday simulations" that have appeared before understanding the completed response plan.
Take, for example, the "invasion of advanced civilizations" and then the "destruction of the moon".
With the current human technology, it is still too reluctant to establish a defense line outside the earth, so it is very unrealistic to protect the moon according to the concept of conventional defense.
But if nothing is done, will humanity only be able to watch when it encounters an invasion of advanced civilizations?
Mannie confirms that she has reached a dead end when she thinks about this, and at this point she must turn back and find a fork in the road.
And there are three main factors that must be present at this fork in the road.
"Fight", "Escape", "Peace".
"War" can be understood as a dead end before it.
There is no chance of victory in fighting an enemy outside of Earth when humanity is not strong enough at present, even if we have superweapons.
But it can also be understood as an active offense other than defense.
But when the defense is still insufficient, what about the peace talks taking the initiative?
In fact, whether it is a classic offensive and defensive battle in history or an interstellar war that may appear in the simulation concept, its tactical thinking is not much different.
Of course, one of the prerequisites is that there is not much difference in strength between the two sides.
You can't let a group of natives with cold weapons fight against the enemy's spears and cannons.
At this time, the "war" returns to the fundamental question of the development of civilization - "Is it necessary for us to build Starfleet?" ”
If the enemy has appeared, and with the current level of science and technology, it is not very difficult to observe them, then will human beings have "three-body time"? [The so-called "Three-Body Time" is a term coined in the camp to describe the time taken by the emergence of advanced civilizations, the confirmation of the invasion, the beginning of the invasion and the arrival of the entire process. 】
The answer is "yes"!
And the reason why we have to put double quotation marks around the whole "affirmation" is because it was mentioned at the beginning that perhaps the advanced civilization of the shape already has space migration technology, as long as they find a planet with the budding civilization, they will directly locate the coordinates of the star system where the planet is located and then move over, and the situation that may arise at that time is that when the human race is still building high walls between each other, the fleet of the advanced civilization has already arrived in the solar system.
At this time, the "three-body time" is dispensable.
This was a hopeless possibility, but those who proposed a response were quick to refute it.
But instead of elaborating on this possibility, the way to refute it is to point out a more brutal truth.
"If there really is such a huge difference between civilizations, then what we should do is not to fight back, but to say goodbye to each other."
Since then, no one has mentioned the possibility of this seemingly fatal blow, but in fact it is meaningless.
"The prerequisite for victory is hope." Mannie felt these things the most......
"Escape" is also easy to understand from the literal meaning.
If you can't afford to fight, the best way is to flee.
However, there are many ways to escape.
In Mannie's understanding of human history, the origin of fire is actually a strategy of "escape".
And it is a brilliant feat of a very far-sighted consciousness far beyond the level of scientific and technological civilization.
It's just a big price...... Because it is only the concept of human beings and human civilization that "escapes", not a specific person on earth.
So if the moon is destroyed, is "escape" the most feasible way?
Instead of rushing to conclusions, Mannie tentatively began to think about "and".
"And" is a relatively neutral word.
Just like the current glorious republic and divine revelation, the "harmony" between them is based on reciprocity and mutual assistance.
Further, the "peace" of the Zanspur Empire and the Free Coalition was based on victory or defeat in the war.
The difference is significant.
Is there also the possibility of "harmony" in the face of human invasion?
If you think about it in terms of the human fear of the unknown, this is extremely unlikely.
This is because the alien civilizations that are usually depicted have innate "evil characteristics", although this "evil" only mirrors the way humans see other species.
Thinking of this, Mannie couldn't help but remember a rather interesting statement.
"We want mosquitoes to become extinct, we don't care if they break the food chain because they're disgusting, and we want pandas to survive with the help of humans, and we don't care that they're no longer adapted to the wild because they're cute."
But in fact, mosquitoes are not so easily extinct, on the contrary, they have a vigorous vitality far beyond that of pandas.
So can the "harmony" of humans be tilted towards the "mosquito"?
Similar words appear in many works to a greater or lesser extent.
Is it true that our evolution is out of reach compared to mosquitoes that only buzz?
Perhaps it's just a formal difference.
Mosquitoes can be easily pinched to death, but have you ever thought that a mosquito carrying deadly germs can also kill people?
Mannie, who had been standing at the fork in the road for a long time, unexpectedly glimpsed another possibility as she continued to delve deeper into it.
It felt familiar, but it scared Mannie.
Eventually, in order to get rid of this trouble, Mannie turned to the wild pastor for help, hoping that she could give a satisfactory answer and tell her where the future of humanity is.
Yuan Yemu replied with a smile: "Actually, the true meaning of this simulation is not how we solve this invasion, but through it, we can see our true appearance, and see the real appearance of the world. ”
Mannie didn't understand, this was too vague, as if she was mocking this false reality, and as if she had jumped out of that pompous level and entered a higher realm.
"So what are we really like? What is the real appearance of this world? ”
Yuan Ye Mu didn't explain again, she took out a book and handed it to Mannie: "Everything you want is here." ”
Mannie took the book, the cover unnamed, and the title page with only a short sentence.
"Our existence is actually a kind of accident, accidental appearance, accidental living, accidental disappearance......"
