"You... You call me stupid? ”

Thanos' hegemonic aura froze suddenly, and his narrow eyes (compared to his massive purple face) flashed with astonishment and anger.

He's Thanos! The Last Mad Titan! Lord of the Dark Quadrant! Walking Scourge!

He has an unimaginable wisdom in ordinary life, he can be the most brilliant mechanical engineer or a bachelor of science in computer science, he can be a philosopher, a religious leader,

He can cobble together a space cruiser from a pile of space junk alone, even if he is left on a deserted rainforest planet without even a knife by his side, he can climb the technology tree to the era of interstellar colonization a hundred years later;

He has the instincts of a warrior and a scholar, can see the truth behind the layers of obstacles, can parse the mystery of complex mysteries, and all the mysteries of the world are open to him.

Such an existence is ..... To be said to be a fool?!

As if sensing the owner's psychological fluctuations, the colorful and magnificent rainbow ring began to expand and contract periodically.

The seven biological emotions represented by the seven colors contain the power of silence and terror, and it seems that in the next second, an unprecedented torrent of energy will be released, destroying everything in front of them.

"That's right."

In the face of the possible blow, Li Ang didn't have any pressure at all, he smiled indifferently, and said indifferently: "Let's not mention it for the time being, the rationality or effectiveness of the action to destroy half of the lives,

Let's talk about the effectiveness of the program first.

Since you claim to be aiming for something more ambitious, you have to be completely random in the process of extinction to ensure its fair nature.

So, how do you plan to achieve 'absolute randomness'? ”

Thanos couldn't figure out the other party's routine for a while, first maliciously mocked him for being stupid, and then calmly communicated peacefully.

Is this a hit? Or not to fight?

Although the last Titan didn't care about the so-called honor and dignity, when the other party jumped on his face and mocked, he still had a trace of impulse in his heart to prove himself.

So, he began to try to argue,

"The reason why quantum ships exist is because there are intelligent life in the ship, and these intelligent life can make self-observation or non-observation in the process of quantum probability cloud expansion.

This allows the probability cloud to freely determine the state of collapse and non-collapse. ”

Thanos said, "The number of intelligent beings must be large, and the will must be strong enough to ensure that they will not be swallowed up by the chaotic nature of the cloud of probability."

But when ordinary life is finally over, even the soldiers of the earth who are as determined as iron and bear the heavy responsibility of the survival of the race can only keep the probability cloud at the scale of half the galaxy.

Also, if you want to carry out the extermination plan, I don't feel comfortable finding other people. ”

"So..."

"I'm going to quantize myself." Thanos's tone was light, not like he was talking about his own life form, but about the recent weather conditions,

"With the soul gem, I can fully bear the burden of will brought about by quantization,

On top of that, gemstones give me a huge amount of computing power comparable to that of a quantum computer—the soul is an innate information processor.

And this huge computing power also laid the foundation for my random extinction plan. ”

Thanos said calmly and composurely: "What I seek is absolute fairness, and absolute fairness means absolute randomness, that is, any 'predictable' situation is not allowed. ”

Hearing this, Li Ang said, "You plan to turn to Quantum?" ”

"That's right." Thanos nodded.

The "randomness" of modern computers is basically a "seed" at the beginning, and through various intricate calculation formulas, the randomness is increased as much as possible.

However, as long as the "seed" and "operation formula" exist, this kind of randomness is also "pseudo-random", as long as the operation period is long enough, there will eventually be repeated results.

Even if the recurrence of the cycle drags on to 10 billion years, it is unacceptable for a perfectionist like Thanos.

To achieve literal randomness, Thanos must resort to quantum,

This is not a difficult technology, thermodynamic noise (white noise) or atomic decay that can be detected in daily life is a manifestation of absolute randomness, but the quantized brain greatly simplifies this process.

"There's a part of my quantized brain that asynchronously generates a stream of random bits at a certain frequency, and this thermodynamically generated random bits are true random numbers.

At that time, with a quantum body, I will sift through the entire galaxy like a sieve, and decide whether each individual life survives or not, through a single choice of 'yes' or 'no'. ”

Thanos is calm, eloquent, and calm not at all like a terrorist, but like a professor who is dedicated to scientific research.

"Good, you've managed to solve the problem of fairness."

Leon smiled, "So, can you ensure the effectiveness of the plan?" ”

Thanos frowned, "Of course, as long as you destroy half of the living beings, the remaining half can get a lot of breathing space,

The surplus resources are enough to ensure that the beings of the galaxy will not engage in useless wars due to lack of resources for a relatively long period of time.

What's so bad about short-term chaos in exchange for long-term peace. ”

"Huh."

Leon shook his head and smiled, "Have you ever heard of Malthusianism?" ”

"Huh?" The purple sweet potato head raised his eyebrows.

"Malthusianism refers to the exponential growth of population, while the total amount of resources and food grows linearly, which determines that at some point the population must exceed the upper limit of what the environment can carry," Leon explains.

Wars and famines for resources will reduce the population and restore it to a lower level.

In this way, the contradiction between population and resources creates a never-ending cycle of tragedy.

This is the Malthusian trap. ”

Thanos knows that many civilizations in the galaxy have also conducted research and discussion on population issues, and have produced theories similar to the Malthusian trap.

"That's right, no matter how vast the territory of the galaxy is, no matter how rich the resources are, it can't support the infinitely expanding population."

Thanos said: "The greed for individual life is never-ending, which leads to tragedy again and again, and there is never anything new.

What's worse is that the development of civilization is spiraling, and the scale and intensity of interstellar wars will continue to escalate and produce greater tragedies.

And I, for example, want to put an end to this tragedy. ”

After that, Thanos took a step forward, his mood was as calm as water, Zhizhu was in his hand, and Chengzhu was in his chest.
