Chapter 1442: Discussion from an Academic Perspective

Thanos told his story, thinking that this tear-jerking heavy history would make Huang Chao, a young human being, feel the heaviness of his life. But Huang Chao looked quite calm, and was not touched by him in the slightest.

"He doesn't care about that." Thanos is aware of this fact, but nothing else. The villain who has reached his point has long been able to face all situations calmly and rationally. Even when he suddenly knew that he had to sacrifice his daughter to get the gem, he made a choice after a short cry. Huang Chao's performance was not too unexpected for him. He is an Earth superhero who can reach Titan, and it is quite reasonable to be able to have such a mental will.

When his power is as strong as Thanos, his spirit is always influencing the weak minds around him. Even if ordinary people don't have their minds controlled by him, when Thanos looks back with deep emotions, it is difficult for them to remain calm under such influence. When the difference in life level is too large, there is no equality between the two sides, just like a satellite orbiting a planet with a greater mass, and a planet orbiting a star with a greater mass...... The rules of gravitation in the universe are so cold.

Huang Chao nodded, not knowing that he was affirming Thanos's words. After all, Thanos had been speaking for a long time, and out of the courtesy of the audience, he still responded to the speaker.

"I regret your past." Huang Chao raised a hand in front of him, "Although it is a clichΓ©, I still have to say that you have to kill half of the lives in the universe, and the rest, such as human beings, will fall into social chaos, and they will also suffer great grief, in short, they will not feel happier." Even if we don't mention these emotional and social issues, from a macro ecological point of view, I think you know the most basic population growth curve, when the number of organisms reaches the equilibrium k value, killing half does bring them back to the midpoint of the s-curve, which is the fastest growing segment of the biological population, but the environment remains the same, they will still grow to the equilibrium zone. ”

Huang Chao didn't lose his anger, he just looked at Thanos with a normal academic discussion attitude, and said: "In the equilibrium K value section of the population curve, how much you live will die, this is a very cold ecological state, and it is very painful to be a part of it, right?" But this is the most basic ecological curve, describing a simulated ecological state. When these beings are more intelligent beings, such as humans, they can modify the environment, and that's the difference between humans and lower animals, and humans have subjective agency. A hundred years ago, the earth would never be able to support the number of humans it has today. Human efforts have fed a larger population. Even if you do encounter a resource bottleneck, you can control your birth so that you don't end up with a massacre. ”

A subtle smile tugged at Thanos' purple potato's face: "I know you. It is true that your people have done a limited number of miracles, but all of this is exploiting the earth's resources...... When you go to the end, you will understand that the resources of the universe are limited. You can limit a portion of the population, but there are many more of your own kind that consume resources, and they can even interfere with your normal development. Small-scale adjustments and partial improvements are nothing but contradictions that have been postponed again and again. And now I have the root of the cure......"

"Maybe you have some misunderstanding." Thanos sat on a pile of debris in the ruins, and shook his head when he heard this, "The universe is vast, and there are countless types of creatures in it, whether it is human beings or the earth, they are all insignificant and insignificant existences. I will rebalance the universe and not need to focus exclusively on the human condition. ”

"In the eyes of species that have not stepped into the starry sky, the universe is very vast, but to a certain extent, you will also find that the resources in the universe are also very limited."

Thanos is now more than two thousand years old, and he is a completely different species from humans. Humans and the like are not much different from lower animals in his eyes. If there is a group of highly intelligent beings with excellent lifespan, and all members have to compete for resources and do not control the population, then what kind of resource shortage will be the end up?

Huang Chao didn't want to comfort Thanos either, his race had collapsed and died out under such a crisis. But there is a moral choice here, even if we know the outcome of today, should we accept the methods of "massacre" in the past?

Huang Chao thought sarcastically that if he could really accept indiscriminate and fair slaughter, then this kind of clan consciousness could also use other methods to solve the crisis. He was quite moved at the moment, his ancestors had expected this since ancient times, and made a very prescient restriction:

"Monks will be killed by a catastrophe, and more than half of them will be killed. There are also immortals who are not allowed to fall in love and have offspring. Although this rule is often broken by some seemingly poor people, it is actually the basic rule of seeking eternity. Oh, in this way, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are still selfish, what Seven Fairies and Weaver Girls are punished, and then they are not still immortals, and the children are also immortals, and they have the ability to directly beat them and their descendants to lose their immortality, so that they can enjoy love and spend one hundred and eighty years as mortals......"

Huang Chao thought in his heart, and Thanos on the other side showed a cold firmness: "I don't think I need to say sorry, this will be a reasonable way to maintain the balance of the universe." I've been pursuing this goal all my life. ”

He held up the golden Infinity Gauntlet, which had four gems shining brightly, the Power Gem, the Space Gem, the Reality Gem, and the Soul Gem that he had taken from all over the universe. For Thanos, this process should be "taking", as the basic gem of the universe, it does not belong to anyone in the first place, Thanos destroys the enemy in this process, gets the gem, and the smooth process can only be described as "taking".

Huang Chao's gaze swept over the reality gem. At this moment, the power of the universe is concentrated on this ruined planet, and the six fundamentals converge for a cruelly cold and self-justifying goal.

"Huh." Huang Chao suddenly laughed, "I heard people say, you want to destroy half of the life in the universe?" ”

"Yes." Thanos was silent for a moment, then acknowledged with a deep gaze. There is a powerful power surging in his body, and the power of the Ultimate Purple Titan, even with the "shackles" of the four Infinity Stones, is still the top combat power in this universe. The Infinity Gauntlet, on the other hand, allows him to make small use of the rules of the gems, which in turn strengthens his combat power.

Huang Chao's focus is on another academic question: "Obviously, the description of you by your men and enemies is very inaccurate. Wipe out half the life? We don't eat inorganic things like soil for a living, the vast majority of the food we eat is plants and animals, and these are all life. Eliminating half of life, halving the number of producers, consumers, and decomposers in the food chain is not like improving the living environment. ”

Thanos snorted, half snorting and half mocking: "The life you are talking about is different from what I said, there is no spirituality, and it is also qualified to be called life?" His gaze fell on the glove in his left hand, and the orange glow of the soul gem seemed to sting his eyes.
