Chapter 355: Dimensionality Reduction Is Actually Just a Strategic Means (2)
At this time, the number TX0001 revealed to Zhang Heng a truth that may have been misunderstood by most civilizations in the universe all along.
Normally, most civilizations believe that even Zhang Heng now believes that the so-called two-way foil and other dimensionality reduction strike weapons are one of the main weapons used to conduct wars between civilizations at this level of the fourth level.
After all, it is economical, and the range of the strike is so wide that it can be infinite, and it can be used once and for all, and it does not have to fall into the quagmire of never-ending war.
Other than that, there is no other special meaning.
But now the number TX0001 says that in fact, when they first used dimensionality reduction strike weapons such as two-way foils, they were not intended to fight a certain civilization at all, or to clean them.
Dimensionality reduction is only a strategic means, even if it is not used to fight other and clean low-level civilizations, it is a strategic means that must be used in ordinary times.
Based on the existence of the law of the dark forest, if there is a way to avoid the development of other civilizations to a great extent, it will not exceed its own civilization.
Then, not only the sixth in the Three-Body Metaverse, but other civilizations in the Metaverse will also use this method to avoid it.
Because, no one dares to guarantee that once other civilizations develop to be absolutely stronger than themselves, the other party will not destroy them casually.
Therefore, it is the deepest heart of each civilization to limit the development speed of other civilizations forever to keep up with itself, or to directly let other civilizations disappear once and for all.
The root cause of this is the nature of life and life.
The self-interest of life is such that no matter what kind of life it is, it will not fully trust the second person other than itself.
The so-called law of the dark forest is nothing more than that.
"Then can I understand that when you first used the dimensionality reduction strike method, it was actually only to target the civilizations of the fourth dimension and above?"
"The higher the dimension in which civilization is located, the faster it will develop, and you are afraid that the higher dimension in which they have been living will one day develop to a height that you can no longer reach."
"That's why, like those civilizations in the universe that use dimensionality reduction strikes on a large scale, you are desperately trying to lower the ten dimensions of the universe until you can no longer descend."
"At that time, everyone will be in the same dimension of development, and there will be no more situations where whoever occupies the high dimension will be able to develop quickly?"
Zhang Heng analyzed.
The fundamental purpose of this so-called dimensionality reduction strategy is to keep all civilizations on the same level.
"That's right......"
TX0001 nodded, then continued, "But this strategy didn't start with us, or we didn't use it first. ”
"As far as I know, and also the perception of our periphery world, this strategy has existed since ancient times, and the history is so long that it is impossible to trace it back."
"We only know roughly that since the time when the ten dimensions of the universe were alive, the civilizations living in the ninth dimension have begun to desperately let the ten dimensions fall towards the ninth dimension."
"After all, the ten-dimensional living environment is absolutely superior to the nine-dimensional, just like our three-dimensional creatures have no secrets in the eyes of four-dimensional creatures."
"At that time, the civilization living in the ninth dimension had to face oppression from the civilization of the tenth dimension all the time."
"This kind of oppression is not the oppression of slavery as it is commonly called, but a kind of spiritual oppression."
"In the face of the absolutely excellent living environment of the tenth dimension, if the nine-dimensional civilization wants to surpass the other party and get rid of this spiritual oppression, there is no way to make up for it except for entering the tenth dimension itself, and the living environment is slightly inferior to the other party by nature."
"And how can the ten-dimensional civilization allow the nine-dimensional civilization to also participate and share the most superior living environment in the universe with itself?"
"In desperation, the nine-dimensional civilization finally thought of a way to reduce dimensions......"
Since the ten-dimensional civilization does not allow them to go up, the ten-dimensional civilization does not want to enjoy the best piece of feng shui treasure land in the universe exclusively.
The ten-dimensional civilization does not welcome them to go up, but they welcome the ten-dimensional civilization very much.
As a result, the first large-scale dimensional drop in the universe also began from the tenth dimension.
But it is conceivable that the Nine Dimensions Civilization must have paid a very heavy price when it completed this plan.
After all, the Nine Dimensions had no secrets to speak of in the Ten Dimensions, and the scientific and technological strength of the Ten Dimensions Civilization at that time was absolutely crushing the Nine Dimensions Civilization.
In this case, if the nine-dimensional civilization wants to dig the foundation of the ten-dimensional civilization under the nose of the ten-dimensional civilization, the difficulty is simply more difficult than ascending to the sky!
However, judging from the fact that there are only three dimensions left in the universe, even if the nine-dimensional civilization has paid a heavy price, they have succeeded in the end.
Not only did he succeed in destroying the 10th dimension and lowering the 10-dimensional civilization to a level consistent with himself, but he also brought this bad atmosphere to a lower dimension.
"Perhaps, it started with them, and the eight-dimensional civilizations behind followed in their footsteps, how did they reduce the tenth dimension to the ninth dimension, and how the eight-dimensional civilization also gave the ninth dimension to the eighth dimension......"
TX0001 continued, as if he were telling a story.
However, is there really no way for a civilization living in a high dimension to face the rogue behavior of a low-dimensional civilization?
They are born to live in an absolutely excellent environment, and they are definitely stronger than the scientific and technological strength of low-dimensional civilizations, can't they be stopped?
But, it seems that there is really no way.
At least, no civilization has been found so far that can effectively restrain low-dimensional civilizations from running to your own dimension to reduce dimensionality.
After all, it is always much easier to destroy than to build.
Of course, it is not impossible to achieve dimensional ascension, but can the speed of dimensional ascension and dimensional reduction be comparable?
And can the cost of resources be compared?
Just talking about the two-way foil, a two-way foil can make the entire universe start to fall into two dimensions at the speed of light.
Who can use something as cheap as a two-way foil and make the universe rise higher at the speed of light?
In this way, with the successive disappearance of the ten and nine dimensions, the various civilizations in the universe finally realized.
It turns out that the dimension in which he lives is absolutely superior to that of a low-dimensional civilization is not absolutely safe.
If you are not careful, once you have no time to transform yourself and cannot adapt to the low-dimensional living environment, you will be destroyed with the original dimension.
At this time, the eight-dimensional civilization that had just finished descending to the ninth dimension, as well as the seventh, sixth, and even fifth- and four-dimensional civilizations had a long-term consideration.
That is, first desperately transform itself into a low-dimensional civilization, and then say, the lower the better.
And the civilizations that were the first to transform themselves and successfully ran to the lower dimensions, they also began to play sassy operations.
For example, there are some eight-dimensional civilizations, and the lower dimensions they run to are not just one dimension lower, but several lower, directly to the fourth dimension or three dimensions.
After they came to these two lower dimensions, they had the idea of descending multiple dimensions at once.
Let those civilizations that originally lived in the same dimension as themselves, and those civilizations that were originally higher than themselves, no longer be able to go to the lower dimensions to continue to compete with themselves.
As a result, they have popularized dimensionality reduction technology and space technology in low dimensions.
"It was at this time that our marginal world began to come into contact with the concept of dimensionality reduction, although we know that those civilizations that have come down from the higher dimensions are uneasy and kind, but we have no reason to reject this kind of thing."
"After all, if the dimensions of the entire universe can be made the same, it will be a good thing for our low-dimensional civilization......"
TX0001 has talked about this, and it is almost the end of the so-called dimensionality reduction is just the specific origin of a strategy.
To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is a kind of behavior that harms people and is unfavorable due to the mutual distrust between life and between civilizations.
I am afraid that after others get better, they will step on themselves in turn.
As a result, I can only make others feel bad at the same time, and I am not happy myself.
If everyone is on the same level, then even if they still don't trust each other and be wary of each other, everyone's upper limit is there, so naturally there is no need to worry about the other party once they become strong, they will treat themselves like this.
"Now, there are less than four of the ten dimensions of the universe left, and the fall of the four dimensions seems to be nearing the end, leaving only some corners that have not been completely lowered."
"The center of gravity of civilization that came down from the high dimension was naturally placed on the three-dimensional body, and then it caused the current situation, and everyone is using the two-way foil unscrupulously."
"Because, most of the civilizations that can still exist in the three dimensions today have come down from the high dimensions of the past."
"At the beginning, the civilization that lived in the third dimension, except for our marginal world and the singer world, many of them were squeezed into the living space and disappeared in the long history of the universe."
"They have gone through rounds of dimensionality reduction, and they have long been familiar with transforming themselves."
"Therefore, this time, the large-scale dimensionality reduction they carried out in three dimensions is not as simple as stopping at two dimensions, and the final direction will be one-dimensional, or even zero-dimensional singularity......"
Speaking of which, TX0001 is also full of worries about its own future, as well as the future of the marginal world.
After all, except for the two dimensions of the tenth and ninth dimensions, which fell one after another.
The remaining dimensions of the eighth dimension and below, since the old six who played with the operation suddenly ran to the lower dimension, they all began to fall at the same time.
It's not that when the eighth dimension is gone, the seventh dimension will be gone.
It's that five, six, seven, or eight are gone.
Therefore, the remaining one, two, and three are likely to be lost together in the future.
But their marginal worlds now have only the technology to transform themselves into two-dimensional life.
It is precisely because they are not afraid that the three-dimensional will be completely two-dimensional, that they dare to use the two-way foil so unscrupulously.
Of course, the same is true of the singer civilization.
But if it's one-dimensional, they're all gone.
It will surely be destroyed with the fall of two or three dimensions!
"Could it be that the large-scale two-dimensional project that you and other three-dimensional native civilizations are now carrying out is actually a way to save themselves?"
Hearing this, Zhang Heng also felt the potential intention of their marginal civilizations to become large-scale two-dimensional from the words of TX0001.
That is, they want to save themselves.
"Yes, we do have that intention, which is why we are using binary foils much more often than ever before......"
Hearing this, TX0001 also admitted.
Although when they first used dimensionality reduction weapons such as binary foils, they were only used as a strategic tool, even if they were not at war with other people, or to clean up low-level civilizations.
However, at that time, they still had a degree, and they would not say that they wanted to defecate anywhere, and they would put them wherever there was a vacancy.
Rather, they will make the most of it.
It is precisely because of this that the dimensionality reduction strike will develop to be linked to the fight against other civilizations.
After all, no matter how cheap something is, it still has its value, and once it accumulates to a certain amount, it is also a huge amount.
Now, though, they don't care so much.
They have to make 3D completely two-dimensional as soon as possible, and only then can they buy more time.
Because, although the original civilizations from higher dimensions, although they have now mastered the technology to transform themselves into zero-dimensional creatures, as long as the three-dimensional existence exists for a day, they will not run too far in advance to the lower dimensions.
The reason is also very simple, after all, the three-dimensional dimension is always higher than any of the following dimensions, and it is relatively the only excellent environment left in the three-body metaverse.
Staying in the third dimension for one day is also faster than staying in the lower dimension for a year.
Therefore, until the time when they have to leave, those old six from Gaowei will not leave early.
In this way, a series of three-dimensional civilizations such as marginal civilizations are given a series of civilizations that can only transform themselves into two-dimensional creatures, and there is room for maneuvering.
As long as they can make the three-dimensional completely fall to the two-dimensional in advance before the one-two-dimensional three-dimensional ones fall into the zero-dimensional in front of those high-dimensional sixths, before the one-two-three-dimensional ones fall into the zero-dimensional dimension all at once, then they can buy time.
Because, every time those high-dimensional elders transform themselves, it takes time, and before they are completely transformed, they can't think of which dimension at any time.
Now, since those high-dimensional elders have transformed themselves into zero-dimensional creatures in advance, or they can become zero-dimensional creatures on the verge of their feet.
Then, once things don't go their way, the remaining three dimensions don't all fall to zero dimension all at once, but to two dimensions alone.
In that case, they will either have to go straight to Dimension Zero, or they will have to reinvent themselves again.
Whether it's the former or the latter, it can slow them down to the remaining three dimensions at once.
In the former, they go directly to the zero dimension, then their development speed may be surpassed by the original three-dimensional native civilization.
After being surpassed, their plan to descend three dimensions will naturally no longer pose any threat to the three-dimensional native civilization.
After all, the three-dimensional native civilization can also transform itself into a zero-dimensional creature that can be turned into a one-dimensional creature before you descend to the three dimensions.
The latter, reinventing themselves again, also means that they have to temporarily stop their plans to descend three dimensions.
