Chapter 276: Great Silence
"Domination, this may be one of the reasons why higher civilizations do not come into contact with lower civilizations. The bell said.
"Just because you don't want to be influenced by culture?" Bai Ge thought.
"That's just one of the reasons, it's also about the explosion of technology, and the cost of war," Bell said. ”
The encounter between two civilizations is often like a chemical reaction.
In the case of a high-level civilization discovering a low-level civilization, there will be a great silence effect, and the high-level civilization has only two options.
Either keep ignoring or just eliminate the other side.
Because communication is meaningless, first of all, the other side is not profitable, and backward technology is like a joke to a higher civilization.
Higher civilizations will not help the other party explode technology, because once the technology explodes to the extent that it is useful to itself, it also means that the other party has a huge threat.
In these cases, it is clearly mentally retarding to communicate at the risk of cultural integration. Because it does not benefit anything other than the uncontrollable risks it brings to its own civilization.
Because communication is not good but harmful, ignoring it is the greatest kindness.
If the good intentions are not enough, it must be the destruction of the other side, and it is not even worthy of the direct destruction of war.
When fundamental physics reaches a certain level, rare earth resources such as minerals will become more and more meaningless.
Hydrogen, helium, and carbon are substances found in any galaxy, and there are many heavy elements such as iron, and their existence has nothing to do with whether there is a civilization or not.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for any civilization that can cross galaxies to wage war for resources and energy. Because this is the equivalent of hacking someone to death for the sake of taking the soil from someone else's yard.
The soil is everywhere, what do you have to do with other people's homes? And destroy people for this?
Therefore, all direct contact wars, such as occupation and aggression, will not occur when the gap in science and technology is too large.
This will increase the cost of war, and even accidentally make the opponent's technology explode.
If you really feel threatened, you will destroy the whole thing, and all communication between them will only be bad.
"What if you can't crush it and destroy it directly?" Bai Ge said.
"Then leave first. Unless two civilizations are too close, or the other side has the ability to easily cross the galaxy, or for more reasons than to start a more costly war, the higher civilization must prefer not to develop this galaxy first, and instead throw itself into other galaxies that there are countless in the universe. The bell said.
At this moment, Bai Ge constructed a picture of various high-level civilizations silently moving in the universe in his mind.
Because of the cost of war, higher civilizations will not engage in wars with lower civilizations that are even a little longer in time, and if they want to fight, they must be non-contact wars.
If you can't destroy it immediately, or if you have a good heart, you ignore it first and enclose the land farther away.
It is not until we encounter more and more other advanced civilizations and find out the sphere of influence of the civilization that is a great threat that we will tacitly demarcate the real borders.
And a number of inferior civilizations that were discovered in the middle of the process would be ignored in the process, like primitive tribes living in the Amazon jungle, who could suddenly know: What? We have always lived in a country called Brazil?
As for the lower civilizations that have been trapped, if necessary, they will be destroyed, and how long they can live is purely a matter of luck.
A lot depends on how stupid this inferior civilization is, if it is stupid enough to self-destruct itself on the home planet, then they will not know until they die, 'We are not alone'.
"This is the explanation of Fermi's paradox?" Bai Ge said.
Bell said: "Yes, judging from the fact that we have civilizations at such a close distance, the birth of civilizations is not harsh, and the galaxy may be crowded. It is like a city, with many huts or mansions, and we are like ants living in the homes of higher civilizations, and the earth is an anthill. ”
The Fermi paradox is a problem that has been plaguing the people of the earth, in all probability, there is a civilization in the universe that is higher than the earth's technology, even if it is only a civilization born a few million years ahead, with the development of science and technology, the earth should have been able to discover the earth by now, but why can't the earth find any traces of other civilizations at all? Why is the universe so silent that it has not received any meaningful communication until now?
Regarding the Great Silence, after discovering the gravitational waves of the mysterious civilization through the use of containment, Bai Ge knew about it.
The reason is simple, humans are blind and deaf.
It's not that there isn't, but that you can't see it, you can't hear it. Electromagnetic waves are too easily disturbed by nature, and it is difficult to travel farther, and they will be attenuated in a short distance.
Even with Bai Ge's current technology, he has not gotten rid of the field of electromagnetic waves in communication, let alone the earth.
Lightspeed spaceships do not exist, and even if they do, they are microscopic, and there is no macroscopic matter that moves at the speed of light in the universe at all, so basically you will not see the navigation clues of other civilizations.
And the universe is so big that it has made many huge things smaller than a pixel.
What happens elsewhere, the Earth simply does not know. Even if there are two advanced civilizations at war, the earth is ignorant.
So neither can you see nor hear.
In the case of not being able to actively see and hear, the higher civilization will also ignore the lower civilization, so it cannot be passively reached.
The earth is clearly a poisonous little deaf and blind anthill, and weak fashion can be tolerated, and this has to be the case of a well-meaning owner. But once it starts to expand, it will be wiped out immediately.
The progress of civilization, in this case, became a countdown to destruction. As the times progressed, they either committed suicide or were killed.
There is a past, there is a present, but there will be no future.
This is the miserable state of all non-primordial civilizations.
The reason for such a cruel fate is simply that civilization was 'born' a little late......
In other words, the earth may have been encircled in the sphere of influence of some advanced civilization...... And the timing of the encirclement may be before modern times?" Bai Ge said.
"I just confirmed from the Flying Noodle God that it's like this. The bell said.
Bai Ge was startled at first, not to mention the earth, just the four thousand warships scattered out were likely to be finished now.
But then he felt that something was wrong, since the earth was already in a certain advanced civilization circle, and now that he and many warships had slipped out of the solar system, why hadn't there been a great purge?
It stands to reason that the Great Purge should have come as early as the first ship was built.
Bell said: "Because our advanced civilization is about to be destroyed by the civilization six thousand light years away, and the cause of the war is to retaliate for our attack......
"Uh......" Bai Ge was stunned for a moment, and then a little speechless.
It is true that there may be a war between higher civilizations, but the probability is actually very low.
The closer the technology of the two civilizations is, the more unable it is to judge whether it is their own advantage or the other's advantage, and even if it is their own advantage, it is likely that the other party's advantage will become the opponent's advantage due to the technological explosion in the middle of the war......
Again, civilizations either ignore each other or go to war, and if they want to fight, they will do everything until one side is completely wiped out.
In such a situation, the vast majority of civilizations will tacitly exercise restraint and engage in a cold war.
No one wants to provoke a war lightly.
Few advanced civilizations are immature enough to wage a war that is not necessarily victorious, but is sure to be a matter of life and death.
Of course, if someone fires the first shot, war will still break out.
For example, a certain high civilization throws a pile of garbage at another high civilization......
Obviously, in the four months since the Earth's containment was dumped 6,000 light-years away, one of the important factors why the mysterious civilization did not immediately take revenge and destroy the Earth was that there were 'people on top' on the Earth.
The higher civilizations of the universe are like huts, and the lower civilizations are just anthills in huts.
In this situation, it is impossible for the civilization of another hut to cross the higher civilization and launch a large-scale attack in this area, and the two areas will fight first.
And as long as you hit it, you will score life and death.
The earth has suddenly developed to the point where it can travel interstellarly, that is, in the past few months, and the advanced civilization in the area where the earth is located has been engaged in a war of survival, so naturally there is no hurry to clean up the earth, especially when the other party has also launched a cleanup attack now.
"Tsk, what happened to that pile of garbage? It led two huge civilizations to an all-out war...... Bell, anyway, notify me as soon as there is a blow to appear in addition to three months' time. ”
"Yes. The bell said.
"It's time for us to go. Bai Ge said.
Coming into contact with the mercury civilization, I didn't get any benefits, but I almost got into trouble with some of the technology of the ******mercury civilization, the earth really doesn't have it, but the reason why it doesn't is because of the difference in the living environment.
Basically, it can't be used, and earthlings can't use it, or there are more suitable technologies for earthlings.
For example, a certain hibernation technique, unlike hibernation in the concept of the earth, dissolves the brain, dissolves it in mercury, and reassembles it after a few years......
This kind of technology that matches the talent of the race is not used by earthlings, unless it uses pure black stone tablets to turn humans into mercury people first.
And so on, Bai Ge has nothing to gain in the case of technical superiority.
However, the bell said, "Wait a minute, the Mercury Man just sent a message...... They want to be our vassals. ”
If it was before, he might have thought about it, but now Bai Ge doesn't even want this vassal.
"What's the use? really plan to let them explode technologically?" Bai Ge said, he could only think of this use value, if this civilization also exploded technologically, then it would still be somewhat useful.
Bell said, "Anyway, I'm immune to cultural invasion, so I can leave my clones here and teach them to progress." ”
"Let me become the Great Demon King who oppresses the awakening of civilization, and I can quickly find a way to artificially trigger the explosion of technology. ”
