Volume 1 The Rise of the Apostles 43.An Attack Without Theory
"Who is he? Is he the vice president of the experimental society? ”
"Yes, it's called Chaoshang."
…
Professor Jing smiled and pushed his glasses. He also asked: "Although I mainly study history, classmate, do you think that 'the absolutization of the importance of scientific and technological development' is really completely wrong?" ”
Chaoshang looked at Professor Jing and said, "Mr. Jing, I think that 'scientific and technological development' is the main parameter in the universe society, but it is not advisable to use it as the absolute only parameter. ”
"What if the civilizations of the rest of the world, science and technology, have developed to the point where they can form resources—that is, what you call 'interests'—and be completely self-sufficient?" Professor Jing asked.
Chaoshang shook his head and said, "Impossible, if civilization is to develop forever, it will never be possible." All other things being equal, technology can indeed reduce a society's demand for resources to a certain extent. However, it should be noted that the premise is that other conditions remain the same. ”
"Resources, that is, one of the benefits, is a very broad concept."
"Even if a civilization's technological means have reached the point where it can achieve most self-sufficiency, it cannot be completely self-sufficient. For example, a cosmic civilization has formed a self-sufficiency in general matter, and can obtain an inexhaustible amount of materials needed for production and life by transforming basic particles; But as its population continues to grow, what about the scarcity of land, or the space for expansion? ”
"Further, even if even the 'space' or even 'space-time' resources can be self-sufficient and do not need external aggression and expansion, then in the sense of 'cosmic society', it is worthless to join the discussion. Because if this civilization can reach this level, its defense and reconstruction capabilities for other cosmic civilizations will inevitably reach the point where it is unattainable, and then the 'threat' of other civilizations to it will not exist at all, because it is not afraid at all. The civilization also no longer has the need to exchange 'benefits' with other civilizations. The cosmic civilization has completely disappeared in the sense of cosmic sociology, as a distractor with no interference ability. ”
"It is also because of this that the absoluteness of the importance of scientific and technological development has become a paradox."
"Even if a cosmic civilization's ability to produce 'resources' is infinite, its ability to consume 'resources' must also be infinite—the energy in the universe is conserved. A highly developed cosmic civilization is like a closed cycle, although it can be completely closed, self-sufficient, and no longer connected with the outside world, but with the expansion of its own consumption capacity, the circle of this cycle must also expand, and it is impossible to violate the law and consume one part of energy and transform two parts of energy, even if it is one and a quarter of a part - it is impossible. Unless, the civilization has really developed to the point where it can create its own laws and be independent of the universe, but in this way, the civilization will not be included in the overall category of 'cosmic society'. This is equivalent to the resource consumption circle of a cosmic civilization, and it already has the ability to expand beyond the 'big circle' of the universe. ”
"If the 'circle' of resource consumption is to expand, it will inevitably connect and encroach on the outside world, it will inevitably occupy more resources, and the parameter of 'interest' will inevitably be introduced, and it will inevitably - science and technology as the only parameter, and the theory produced will not have much practical significance."
In the end, the courtmen paused for a long time, and no one in the classroom interjected.
He looked at Professor Jing and said, "So, as I said, if you don't find the theoretical basis for the five worlds, it can never be the 'Dark Forest'. Even the tree of the creator god, which gave us the seemingly unfathomable power of the apostles, only gave us the ability to transform the energy of the universe, not the true meaning of 'creation'. The creator God created the world, but he also had absolutely no ability to create 'laws' or break 'laws'. ”
…
The class eventually became a debate between Professor Jing and the courtiers, and the other apostle students had no possibility of interjecting at all, and they were all reduced to stupid spectators. And Luo Wei, although his eyes stayed between the two from time to time, he no longer knew when he would wander into the world.
"Do you want to be the 'manager'?" Luo Wei thought about it for several days, but he still hesitated, after all, if he could be incompetent, he didn't know if he could do it well with his own ability. Remembering what his sister Luo Yan said to him last night, "Not everyone will do it at the beginning, my brother is going to try", Luo Wei patted his face, and the brilliance in his eyes gradually became clear.
"Mr. Luo, do you agree with the 'Dark Forest'?"
For students, the structure of the teacher's creature is very strange, even though they only have two eyes, but they always seem to be able to "see six ways and see all directions". At this time, Professor Jing Jiewen, even if he listened carefully to the exposition of the court, still accurately captured it, and his eyes wandered away from the classroom-Luo Wei outside this small world.
Luo Wei's face tightened, he touched the earrings, and after a second or two he replied, "Agree, agree." ”
"Well—why?" Professor Jing Jiewen scratched his almost white hair, looked down at the head of the lectern and asked.
Luo Wei froze, but he had read some of the hypotheses about the "Dark Forest". So, he really started thinking. Although in the eyes of the rest of the students in the class, the current Luo Wei is just a prey that is pretending to be useless and struggling after being caught by hunters.
Rowe pondered for nearly a minute and said, "Well—the Dark Forest makes sense. Perhaps, it has no reference value for the discovery of other 'creation worlds', but it has great significance in terms of the game between a few planets, or just two civilized planets. ”
"Because of the old saying - 'not afraid of 10,000, afraid of what if'. If the earth and another civilization really look at each other, and the earth and the other really have the means to destroy the other, then, at the very least, we must be the first to do it. ”
Dozens of pairs of eyes of the surrounding apostle students were focused on Luo Wei, a scumbag with an average score of C+, his eyes flashed with strangeness and doubt, and he looked like "three days". Judging from their expressions, most of them also agreed with what Luo Wei said. Yes, if another planet really has the ability to threaten the earth, whether it is theoretical or not, it will be destroyed.
The eloquent and quick-thinking Chaoshang squinted his eyes and stared at Luo Wei. There was no admiration in his eyes, no arrogant contempt, as if he was just watching. The badge of his experiment was shiny metallic.
…
The bell for the end of class rang in the classroom. Even after more than a century, sudden sounds are always the most suggestive.
Luo Wei turned off the holographic projection computer he used for teaching, saved and uploaded his "notes", although in his own opinion, his notes were too few to describe as "few".
"Rowe-san." A voice stopped Rovi.
When he looked back, it was the eloquent courtier who spoke.
The appearance of the Chaoshang was ordinary and ordinary, and the dress was informal, and there was no ornament that modern students would wear to some extent. His eyes are attractive, not the kind of attraction to the opposite sex, but kind of, when you look at it, you think— ah, it's the feeling of a smart person.
"You're right." Chaoshang said.
Luo Wei was stunned, he didn't think what he said in class was profound.
Seeing Luo Wei's puzzled expression, Chaoshang just nodded and said, "You let me know that any thought, placed within a certain range, may be correct." ”
After Chaoshang finished speaking, he took the first step and walked out of the classroom past Luo Wei.
…
Luo Wei came to the front of the Apostolic Training Hall. The huge silver planet, to Luo Wei's eyes at the moment, looked like a ball of ice cream dipped in blood, and the blood seemed to be about to seep out from the metal surface of the stadium. Some time ago, the bloody conspiracy that covered the sky of the entire school with mourning clouds still can't be relieved.
Luo Wei took a breath and entered the arena.
At this moment, the venue was quickly restored and re-commissioned after the departure of IBDC and PD-D in just a few days. The dead stay in that moment, but the life of the living goes on.
As soon as it is put into use, as long as there is no Shengneng practical class to occupy, the ten members of the team will train here. Luo Wei stood in the doorway and heard the sound of fierce fighting in the stadium.
At this moment, it is the vice president of the adventure club, Huang Qin, and the vice captain of the team, the silver-haired Alai. The two are very familiar with each other, and they have not been able to distinguish the winner after fighting for a long time, and it seems that if this continues, this duel will only end when the two consume each other's holy energy.
"Look carefully, the details of the two of them's holy energy use. The Holy Energy Apostle is not a magician standing still in Western magic games, and melee combat cannot be avoided if conditions permit. Don't think that your Holy Energy attribute is different from the two of them, you can ignore its value, if your opponent's ability is similar to theirs, you must be able to come up with a way to deal with it..."On the side of the two, Fang Shi said to the rest of his team.
And when Luo Wei approached, except for Huangqin and Akles, the eyes of the rest were focused on him.
"Agreed?" Fang Shi's speech became extremely concise.
"Hmm."
"Okay." Fang Shi nodded.
Immediately, Fang Shi clapped his hands and said, "Huangqin, Akles, stop." ”
"Let me introduce you to everyone, this is our manager - Luo Wei."
"Manager? When did the team have this official position? Hum! "The first one to stir up trouble was really Iggie.
Fang Shi didn't say anything to Yiqi's complaints, he looked at everyone and said: "The position of manager is arranged by me, a team, if there is no one who integrates the data of all the players to the coach and is responsible for our lives, then the efficiency will drop a lot." Most of the representative teams of other colleges also have this position. ”
After speaking, Fang Shi looked at Luo Wei who was standing again, and said, "What do you have to be responsible for, go find the relevant information yourself, I don't want to say anything more." Come, introduce yourself, I'm sure some people don't know you yet. ”
"How can you not know each other, Brother Luo Wei's game is very impressive!" A little beauty dressed in a light green tight-fitting training uniform was the first to support Luo Wei with a smile - she was Qiao Anning, who looked a little cold during the game, but became very lively off the court.
