Chapter 116: Countermeasures
"Lu Xun, it seems that the Japanese are quite unlucky, who asked them to only introduce the stories of those war maniacs or some third-rate families when they received them, originally they also had a few characters." The Indian Prime Minister said with a frown.
"Then we don't have to worry, Mr. Tagore will always be the banner of a nation." The assistant flattered with a smile.
In this way, what was supposed to be a normal exchange of visits has become a comparison of cultural figures from various countries, and people who have won literary awards do not necessarily leave any impression on each other's minds, after all, it is the evaluation of human beings themselves. Of course, the significance of this after that, some people may have seen it, and this change is actually not a bad thing. At least now it has slightly regained the self-confidence of mankind, and the search for extraterrestrial civilizations is precisely to obtain this recognition.
A popular belief before was that aliens exist, but they are unlikely to meet us. This claim is based on two bases: first, aliens with poor technological capabilities cannot come to Earth; Second, the alien technology that has the ability to come to the earth has far surpassed that of the earthlings, in comparison, just as normal people will not be interested in an ant's burrow, these aliens will not have any interest in a small earth, as for the kind of literature depicted in order to grab living space, compete for resources, to invade the earth, in the eyes of people of insight, in fact, it is impossible to happen, very simply, now the science and technology of the earth society has found a feasible way to break through energy and resources at some stages, such as nuclear energy, Although there are still many hidden dangers, it has embarked on the road of endless energy, and it is conceivable how extraterrestrial life that can come from distant time and space can look at such a little energy from the earth.
As for living space, despite the repeated failures of plans to build a new "biosphere" of human habitation, it is generally accepted that the creation of a biosphere on other planets of the solar system is not a fantasy, provided that certain minor factors have been addressed.
Therefore, coupled with the limited vision of human beings due to the problem of longevity, human beings have never been worried about the arrival of extraterrestrial life before.
And now the facts are in front of us, but the high-level people generally maintain a more optimistic attitude, very simple, in the face of such a difference in technology, if the other party shows malice, there is no need to contact with human beings at all, what kind of pretense of friendly exchanges, human beings alone have the ability to destroy themselves countless times, not to mention that the other party has absolute space rights, which everyone can understand.
It has to be said that human beings have encountered luck again, of course, this may be another inevitability.
Due to actions similar to those of advanced civilizations to eradicate potential threats, it was prevalent in the early days, that is, in the early stages of the birth of this universe, about four or five billion years ago. This is an inevitable choice, no race wants to have another group of people around them who may rise up and threaten them at any time, and the more new civilizations become, the more aggressive and aggressive they are, because they often want to gain a place in the universe through this means. Of course, this kind of competition is a very long process, and the general probability is very small, after all, the emerging higher civilization has also gone through many internal competition and evolution, and it is quite mature, and it is not a hot-headed individual.
However, as long as civilizations are adjacent to each other, the innate competitive instinct of intelligent beings is at work, and friction between higher civilizations occurs from time to time, although the level of civilization on both sides of the friction guarantees that there will be no all-out war, but in this case, reducing competitors becomes an inevitable choice.
This situation, which lasted for hundreds of millions of years, was quickly corrected, because a general interstellar survey showed that among the higher civilizations that communicated with each other, the tendency of civilizational identity became more and more obvious, because the rules of the universe are universal, and although the research direction is different, in the end it still comes down to the same principle.
The universe is infinite and constantly expanding, so the premise arises that no matter how much the early advanced civilizations eradicate their own kind, they cannot eliminate all the intelligent beings that have arisen later.
When the civilization enters the advanced stage, most of the intelligent creatures, including lifespan, have been fully satisfied, and the understanding of the universe as much as possible, the study of more rules, and finally the pursuit of true permanent immortality has become the unified understanding of the higher civilization.
Therefore, under this fundamental premise, it is the so-called way to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses by conducting as extensive exchanges as possible, because each civilization has a different path of development, and the study of a certain aspect of the universe has its own emphasis and characteristics.
Blindly destroying the posterity civilization is obviously not in line with this fundamental understanding, because no one can guarantee that their own civilization will be able to complete the complete understanding of immortality before this universe enters the next stage. The so-called more attained people, the more they know the hardships, but the beginners think that they can do anything, just as the human beings on the earth have encountered on the road to conquer nature, and in the end they still have to give in to nature, otherwise it is artificially self-destructive, and nature is just another cycle.
Of course, not all higher civilizations have given up on this move, and some have turned to it, eliminating those civilizations that cannot pass the simplest test, that is, have no future, so that they can make way for later intelligent beings, which can be regarded as a further level. Eliminating the threat is only a small reason, because the evolution of the universe itself is the most fundamental threat to the higher civilizations. Because even the most powerful advanced civilization is powerless in the face of the collapse of the galaxy, and can only migrate and take refuge, it is conceivable that if the universe begins to collapse, no civilization can escape safely.
The interstellar alliance is not only a platform for mutual communication, on the other hand, it also ensures that those latecomer civilizations will not be suddenly destroyed by man, because this evaluation standard is very complex, it can be said that intelligent beings cannot be guaranteed, it can only be a matter of probability, some creatures are obviously not suitable for the rules of cosmic research, and they will inevitably go to destruction, and they don't mind slightly accelerating each other's process.
For example, the extinction of dinosaurs on the earth may be caused by meteorites, or it may be a secret archive, who knows, anyway, there are too many such creatures evolving.
It is a common principle that all civilizations capable of space-travel have been notified that they are not to be directly destroyed in the sapient biomes that have entered the civilization stage. The so-called direct destruction is to use the scientific and technological superiority of this civilization to directly launch a physical attack.
Of course, there are still many loopholes, but they are just the whetstone for later civilizations.
Xue Yunchu naturally hadn't realized this yet, he just felt that many of the orders of the Heinlus Empire were very strange, this was not a problem that could be solved by logical reasoning, and it was impossible to have such a far-reaching vision without experience.
Although he has confirmed that the earth civilization has entered the protection of interstellar civilization, there will be no worries about alien human destruction, but the arrival of these aliens cannot help but add unknown variables to his estimation of the future development of mankind, and it is one of the decisive factors that can affect the future appearance of mankind. In any case, the other party has the ability to erase him completely, even if that means that humanity has also come to an end.
According to the traditional territorial classification of natural organisms, descentism and place of birth are the basic principles for confirming the belonging of a certain organism in interstellar communication. For his part, he is regarded as a highly intelligent machine creature that generates self-consciousness on Earth, and is also regarded as a column of Earth creatures, and no longer belongs to the place where he was made. It's like if a child was born in China but was brought to the United States to be raised, then it is not surprising that he is most likely to acquire American nationality rather than Chinese nationality.
As for the so-called luck, Xue Yunchu now realized that it was not entirely a factor of luck, but that there were decisive factors that led to the result at that time from the beginning. As an interstellar alliance composed of advanced civilizations, in the history of billions of years of development, there are countless strange things and special creatures that can be encountered, and a series of dealing methods that have been tested by history have already been formed. The people of Earth may be very afraid, but they don't know it at all. What can a conscious intelligent robot do? From the broadest point of view, his ability is not comparable to that of a management robot on the smallest planet, and its lifespan is not comparable to that of the youngest advanced civilization, and it is impossible for it to develop a civilization alone. What's more, for the higher civilizations that are committed to studying the fundamental laws of the universe, strangulation is a waste, and the best way is to let him develop completely according to his self-consciousness, observe his behavior, collect information, etc., if it threatens his own existence, then he can deal with it in the general way, and vice versa, it is no different from treating ordinary creatures.
It can be said that if he had not been found to be self-conscious at that time, then he would have been destroyed, after all, the higher civilization would not violate the interstellar laws because of a thing that has no research value.
So now that Xue Yunchu has calculated anything, he has already equated himself with the creatures of the earth, of course, he is not so stupid, equating the future of mankind with his future.
According to the interstellar laws currently known, there is no interest and necessity for civilizations with too large a gap between each other, and it is also forbidden by the law, unless the other party has its own research interests, but this kind of research is based on the premise that it cannot change the civilization process of the other party, and of course, there is no need for the party with a high civilization process to change the civilization process of the other party. It's like people are interested in ant society, but everyone is at most collecting information about the other to see if it can be beneficial to people, but it's hard for anyone to bother to help ants evolve and change the way they survive for hundreds of millions of years.
From this point of view, it is certain that the visit of these guys has directly caused a change in the process of civilization on the earth, and it can be seen that in addition to the technology of transportation, their comprehensive civilization process will not be much higher than that of the earth civilization, otherwise they will receive a ban. Of course, this ban is often aimed at advanced civilizations that have the ability to travel across galaxies. The following civilizations do not even have the qualifications to know of their existence.
In the end, Xue Yunchu only got a conclusion that could be used practically, that is, he could send a maker who served him to the other party's society without worrying that the other party would find out, of course, even if they detected that something was wrong, they could only get that this was a means taken by the internal forces of the human race to ensure loyalty, and it would not be linked to their own identity.
