Chapter 318: A Temptation

There will always be certain threads to follow in the behavior of a civilization, and individuals may have convulsions and do things that cannot be explained by logic, but a civilization will not have convulsions. What is the reason why they did this, helped this civilization to open up its wisdom, and left them such a rich legacy?

If you use the behavior pattern of the aging ghost race to explain it, it is to leave a little spark for your own civilization, no, it should not be considered a spark, because the two are fundamentally different species.

So...... Leave a trace of your own civilization in this universe? Lay a foreshadowing at will, maybe this civilization will develop in the future, and it will really reach the point of the ethereal seventh-level civilization, and you can still avenge your own civilization?

It seems to make sense to explain it with this mental model.

Luca No. 2 seemed to know what Xiao Yu was thinking, and instead of Xiao Yu, he said this opinion.

"Again, we still can't be sure of the veracity of this speculation. I think that instead of such a clueless discussion, it is better to send a probe to this coordinate to observe it in the field. It's just a detector, and even if it's damaged, it's nothing. ”

"No, you can't do that." Xiao Yu said, "I don't know if you have noticed anything, if this Torol civilization really wants to hand over the weapon of space splitting to this civilization, they can completely put the relevant technology in this box, why do they have to put it in that so-called new shijie?" In my reasoning, there are two possibilities for this phenomenon, one may be that the advanced civilization deliberately laid a trap to lure us forward, and the second may be that they have set some kind of test for this civilization in the new shijie, and after passing the test. will hand over the relevant technology to them. ”

"This means another thing, if this message is really a trap deliberately laid by a malicious civilization, how can we know? How can we know if the information fed back by the probe is real or disguised by a malicious civilization? You know, at a distance of 20 light years, ultra-distance communication technology cannot be used at such a distance scale. Quanta in an entangled state are decoherent at such a distance scale, so there is no point in sending a probe. ”

Xiao Yu came to this conclusion.

There was silence in the room. Dozens of scientists from the Department of Psychosocial Sciences frowned and thought about it.

This question. It seems that this can be solved by encryption, such as compiling a new dictionary for communication, but as long as the message replied by the detector is not logical and cannot be compiled by the new dictionary, it means that it has been manipulated by a being. This seems reasonable, but it still doesn't work.

This is because this new dictionary is also needed to be used for encoding on the detector side. Convert plaintext information into encrypted information. This mechanism must be done inside the detector, which makes it possible for malicious civilizations to crack the dictionary. In fact, if such a malicious civilization really exists, it is almost certain that the dictionary will be deciphered. This approach makes no sense and does not solve any problems.

Correspondingly. There is no point in sending intelligent beings, such as Luca 2 to lead the team to the field. Because Xiao Yu couldn't be sure if Luca 2 would be controlled by the malicious civilization, the message it sent back. Whether it is disguised by a malicious civilization.

In this case, there seems to be only one way to verify the authenticity of this information, that is, Xiao Yu personally led the team to watch it on the spot. But it seems too dangerous. If there really is a malicious civilization, it is very likely that this malicious civilization is like the white dwarf beast, unable to leave a certain place by itself, and can only let the rest of the civilization come to its side through deception, lure, etc.

Xiao Yu couldn't make up his mind. But this allure is strong enough.

"The attack method of the sixth-level civilization...... Fragmented space...... Moreover, it is also an attack method that has been specially transformed by the Torol civilization and can be used by the fourth-level civilization. Although it has been modified to reduce its use limit and its power will decrease accordingly, it can be confirmed that it is still a more powerful attack than the Negative Matter Cannon. In terms of defense, I have the four maintenance shields obtained from the Taihao civilization, and I have been lackluster in terms of attack, and when facing the Molian civilization, there have even been hundreds of spaceships besieging a spaceship. Attack power has always been my shortcoming, and the temptation of this thing is too great for me. ”

"So, do you want to go or not......

Xiao Yu fell into a deep contradiction. It's like a gamble, where you get a windfall if you win, and you have nothing if you lose.

"Perhaps, we should take the initiative to test ......" At this moment, a scientist from the Department of Psychosocial Sciences stood up and said slowly. Xiao Yu noticed that its gaze was square, and its speech speed was very slow. This means that at the moment its idea is not perfect, it is refining the idea and telling it at the same time.

"Temptation?" Xiao Yu had a feeling that his eyes lit up, so he immediately asked, "How to take the initiative to test?" ”

Actively testing this word opens a new door.

"I mean...... We might be able to do something to take the initiative to test whether this thing is a real heritage or a trap of a malicious civilization. As for how to do it, I don't know. The scientist smiled wryly, "I'm just coming up with an idea." ”

"Very well, then let's think about it in this direction." Xiao Yu said.

As soon as the idea was opened, the conference room was much more lively, and many people put forward their own opinions, but they were all vetoed by Xiao Yu.

There are many different ways to do this, ranging from those who propose to send a returnable detector to determine whether the detector has been manipulated or not, to send a piece of information to the past, and so on.

"I have an idea." At this time, another scientist stood up. Xiao Yu glanced at it and called up its relevant information from his mind.

This is a sapient creature of Race Eighty-Six. According to it, when it was on its home planet, it seemed to be a genius liar, deceiving all the invincible opponents in the world on its home planet, and even a small country fell for it.

For such talents, Xiao Yu has considerable expectations.

"I think the best way to try it is to do nothing." It said, "Any active behavior that may lead to unpleasant consequences may be exploited by it to deceive us." ”

"Oh?" Luca II expressed his doubts.

The peerless liar bowed respectfully to Lukka II and continued, "This method is actually quite simple. There are two possibilities in our reasoning, one is that there is a malicious civilization, which is a trap, and the other is that there are only some tests there, which are essentially the legacy of the Torol civilization to this rudimentary civilization. Then it's very simple, if there is a malicious civilization, its purpose must be to lure us forward, if we stand still, or even make a direct escape action, they will panic, they will think that they have exposed their flaws, in this way, they will make remedies, and as long as there is a remedy, no matter what this remedy is, it is basically certain that there is a malicious civilization. Because in this message, it has been said that their race has died out, and this box has been made to be hundreds of thousands of years old, and at this time, they will do something again, isn't it just right to expose themselves? On the other hand, if it is just a simple heritage site, and there is no malicious civilization, we will not be affected in any way, right? The ruins are hundreds of thousands of years old, and if we go later, it won't grow wings and fly away. ”

"So, this is the safest way. Whether there is a malicious civilization there or not, we will not suffer losses. The big liar concluded.

Xiao Yu once again had a feeling of brightness.

"Good, good. I agree with this approach. Luca II was the first to show his support.

"I'm not a psychosocial scientist, but I think it's a good idea." Luca III said.

"I agree."

"I agree with that."

As soon as this approach was proposed, it was supported by the majority of the participants. The big liar didn't seem to expect that so many people would approve of his solution, and he felt flattered.

"Is this a solution...... Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, thought for a moment, and then had to admit that in the current situation, there was indeed only this way.

"Okay, let's do it according to this method." Xiao Yu finally expressed his opinion, "The time we stay in this star system is tentatively set at three hundred years, and during these three hundred years, I will not make any probe movements on that coordinate, pretending that we have completely ignored the illusion there." In three hundred years, I'll have our fleet sail in the opposite direction for a year, about ten light-years. If there is still no response at this time, it is almost safe to be confirmed. When the time comes, we'll go there and explore......"

"Good, good, your performance has earned you Race Eighty-Six honor. I'll haode reward you and your race. That's it, adjournment! Xiao Yu gave the order.

"Thank you, thank you, honorable master, all the intelligent beings of our eighty-sixth race, will continue to contribute our liliang and wisdom ...... to you" (to be continued......)
