As a fantasy lover, I have been exposed to too many movies, novels, and comics about the interstellar world since I was a child, and in these fantasy works, there are many fantasies about the interstellar world, some describe the galaxy as an enlarged version of the United Nations, and countless interstellar civilizations are intriguing with each other, such as the "Star Wars" series.

Some describe the galaxy as a cold and terrifying world, full of terrifying alien monsters and evil aliens, such as "Alien".

Others describe the galaxy as an adventure park full of secrets, such as Star Trek.

However, the recent work about the stars that impressed me more was a book - the Three-Body Problem, which describes the galaxy as a dark forest, and any civilization is the enemy of other civilizations, and once exposed, it will suffer a devastating blow from other civilizations.

For this point, several people in our dormitory have argued about it at the beginning, some agree with it, some oppose it, but after all, no one has ever been to an alien planet in space, nor has they really seen aliens, so they have never had the opportunity to verify the authenticity, and naturally they have never come to the results.

Now that I have the opportunity to verify it, I naturally can't let it go, so I explained the Dark Forest Theory with Nakareem first.

Then he asked him, "By the way, how strong is the technology of your third-level civilization?" Is there a weapon that can destroy a galaxy at once? Is there a dark forest pattern between civilizations? Will you find a new civilization destroyed by it? ”

Karim laughed out loud, yes, quack, and although his appearance was not reminiscent of the animals of the earth, his laughter made me sound like Donald Duck, and his piercing laughter made me realize that I had asked a stupid question.

"I guess you must be guilty of persecution paranoia, which is a common problem in lower civilizations. Especially civilizations that recognize the vastness of the universe but have not yet had time to enter the interstellar society will have similar speculations, but don't worry, this is not the case.

First of all, generally speaking, the strongest weapon that a third-level civilization can have can probably destroy a planet, and it has to be a relatively small one, as for destroying a galaxy in an instant, even a level 4 civilization may not be able to do it, at least I haven't heard such rumors, maybe it will take a while to do it, but generally speaking, no one will really do that.

However, a level 5 civilization can definitely do it, but a level 5 civilization only exists in legends.

And why destroy your galaxy? God knows how many civilizations there are in this universe, how can they be destroyed, and the competition between civilizations is not a 1V1 heads-up, if it is 1V1, this situation may occur, but the fact is that there are many competitors in the universe, everyone is desperately trying to climb science and technology to become stronger, who will set up enemies for themselves needlessly?

For example, if we discover and destroy your civilization, will it profit us? Surely not, we need to expend a certain amount of energy to destroy you, and at the same time other civilizations do not consume this energy, so why should we do this because we have paid resources to destroy you and have nothing to gain, but have been left behind?

Besides, it is impossible for a truly powerful interstellar civilization to stay in only one galaxy, it must occupy a large number of galaxies, and destroying a galaxy cannot destroy this civilization, but will anger the other party and make the other party an enemy.

As for the problem of resources, the more high-level civilizations can use resources, the resources in the universe are almost unlimited, and the real problem is never the lack of resources, but how to obtain resources, and how to use resources, and how to put them in the engine.

In the ninth star region, there are hundreds of civilizations, but the number of stars in this star region is tens of billions, that is, an interstellar civilization can only be produced in an average of 100 million star systems.

If an interstellar civilization wants to develop all 100 million star systems, God knows how much time it will take, and it may not be able to develop them until the universe is destroyed.

And usually the higher the level of civilization, the less incentive it has to reproduce, and some civilizations will even die out on their own, so the resources are enough, of course, some rare resources will still cause wars, which is why there are organizations like the Silver Alliance Star Alliance.

In order to get more resources and territory, everyone will tend to unite with other alien races, exchange technology, and become stronger together, instead of killing you to the death as soon as they meet, only wild beasts will do that, and such a race cannot produce too powerful civilizations, and they will be consumed in the continuous killing conquest before they grow up.

In addition, most of the truly rare resources are concentrated in the No. 1 star sector, and if you want to obtain them, you can't do it without strength, and you won't be in trouble. ”

There was a bit of disdain in Karim's tone, presumably because of the general sentiment of high-level civilizations towards low-level civilizations, which I can understand, as if I think the natives living in the jungle have a similar mentality, especially when they worship some primordial gods that don't exist and treat them as truth.

But I was relieved by his words, and to be honest, I was really afraid that one day a group of aliens would suddenly come and destroy the earth.

Although I can't protect myself now, I don't know when I'll hang up, but for my home planet, I still hope that it will be well.

It had probably been too long since Kareem had spoken, and I had hooked up the conversation, and it would go on and on.

"The civilization level of the galaxy is basically divided from the inside to the outside, the closer to the core area, the higher the level of its civilization is usually higher, because the birth of the galaxy is from the inside out, and the central region of the galaxy has the largest number of stars and the oldest, which means that the older the civilization, the more dense, and generally speaking, the older the civilization, the longer the development time, the stronger the scientific and technological ability.

Therefore, the No. 1 star region can be said to be the most powerful star region in the entire galaxy technology, the third-level civilization is everywhere, and there are many fourth-level civilizations, followed by the inner ring star area, where the fourth-level civilization can already be the king and dominate, and the third-level civilization can also be mixed up, and the outer ring star region is again, that is, the area where we are located, our No. 9 star region does not seem to have a fourth-level civilization, and there are only a dozen third-level civilizations, and finally there is the marginal star region, which is almost a desert of the galaxy, where even second-level civilizations are rare. ”

"What about the fifth-level civilization?" I asked curiously.

"It is said that there was once a level 5 civilization in the galaxy, they were the first interstellar civilization in the galaxy, they established a huge empire in the entire galaxy, with unimaginable technology, and their feet were all over every star region of the galaxy, but tens of thousands of years ago, this civilization suddenly disappeared completely, there are many rumors about the truth, and it is more accepted that this civilization has transcended the boundaries of the universe and arrived in another world, so this civilization is also called the ascendant civilization by other races, But it's just a legend, and no one knows if it's true or not.

However, the Ascendant civilization has left a lot of relics, which are scattered throughout the galaxy, and some ancient technologies and artifacts left by the Ascendant civilization can often be found in them.

Various civilizations covet these ancient ruins, and once they find them, they are desperately snatched. ”

I listened to Karim's narration of the various mysteries of the galaxy, even if it was just some second-hand material, and I was so fascinated that I almost forgot where I was in.

After a while, I remembered what I really wanted to ask, and what I needed to know the most.

"By the way, what is the origin of those demon eyes and those Kraworms, and what will be the end result for us?"
