Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"Third level civilization..."

Hearing that his wife seemed to be in a state of excitement again, and looking at the ark that was ten times larger than the earth, William also involuntarily repeated the "third-level civilization".

"Catherine." Then, he looked at Halsey beside him and asked, "What is the definition of a fourth-level civilization?"

"Level 4 civilization?" Halsey, who was originally in a frenzy, was taken aback when he heard William's question, and then replied without thinking:

"The third-level civilization is able to fully utilize all the stars and energy in the galaxy, such as the forerunners, they can even create stars and planets by themselves.

Although I don't know much about the technology of ancient humans, the transformation of their bodies by ancient Greek gods such as Athena shows that ancient humans possessed extremely strong biotechnology.

It may be weaker than the pioneers in terms of energy utilization, but ancient humans are still a third-level civilization.

As I said just now, these third-level civilizations are all within the Milky Way, and have not really stepped out of the Milky Way. "

talking.

Halsey looked again at the ark outside the porthole, and the Milky Way above the ark, and continued to explain:

"Even though the Ark is located outside the Milky Way, the Forerunner still failed to get out of the Milky Way in essence, or was wiped out by the Flood before getting out of the Milky Way.

And the pioneer who created the Flood is definitely an existence above the third level of civilization, at least not lower than the fourth level of civilization.

Such as creating species, transferring one's own thoughts and consciousness, through the written records of Göbekli Tepe, it can also be known that they can shuttle between latitudes.

between dimensions...

If they can go to the four-dimensional space, the pioneers can observe the birth of the three-dimensional universe and the annihilation of the three-dimensional universe in an instant.

You must know that the concept of time is actually imposed on the universe by us humans, or intelligent creatures.

light years.

Isn't the year the unit created by us humans? Like the Sangheili, they don't count time in years.

Just imagine, how could a civilization that can enter the four-dimensional space not know that the forerunners are going to betray them?

Then it can only be done on purpose.

After all, whether it is the pioneers, ancient humans, or ancient prophets, they are all the creations of the pioneers, and they are children.

The pioneers can foresee the future development, but the fact has not yet happened. The higher the civilization, the higher the morality. The pioneers would rather believe that the forerunners will not betray, nor will they take the initiative to destroy their children.

Once the fact of betrayal happens, then as a punishment, it will destroy the entire race of the forerunners. "

"Four-dimensional space..." Hearing the explanation given by Halsey, William could not help but groan.

Dimension, this word makes him a little sensitive.

It seems that he did not travel through the previous world, and there is a work that promotes the entire Chinese science fiction circle by himself. Dimensional weapons are mentioned in "Three-Body".

'Two-way foil'.

This is a dimensional weapon thrown at the solar system by a cleaner named "Singer", theoretically collapsing the three-dimensional space into the two-dimensional space.

The simplest and most straightforward explanation is like a dimensionality reduction blow when a person sees a cockroach and steps on it casually, turning the cockroach into a 'slice'.

Of course, William has long forgotten all of the singers or theories mentioned above, but the word "two-way foil" will never be forgotten.

'Got to have a good chat with Halsey about how to defend against this weapon. '

William said to himself, then turned his head to look at Carmen who was sitting on the captain's seat, and ordered quietly:

"Captain Ibanez, lead us into the top of the Ark World, and after confirming the safety of the vicinity, send an engineering team to establish a scientific research outpost on the surface.

In the next few days, we need to conduct research on the Ark, so that we can find a solution that can completely control the Ark. "

"Yes, boss." Carmen promised.

"Serena." William turned his head to look at Serena behind him again, and continued to order:

"Please assist Captain Ibanez to ensure that the Ark World is 'clean', and must confirm whether there is a Flood on the Ark."

"Yes." Serena also nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, William looked around at a kind of high-level person standing on the second floor of the bridge, and raised his voice to order:

"The commanders of the various ministries return to the various ministries. Until Captain Ibanez and Serena confirm that the ark is safe, I need the troops to maintain a wartime state."

"Yes, boss."

All the commanders on the second floor of the bridge raised their hands to salute William, and left the bridge to return to their departments.

soon.

The second floor of the bridge became empty.

see.

William leaned down and lowered his head, and said softly to Halsey: "Catherine, come with me, I have something I want to discuss with you."

?

Halsey was taken aback for a moment, but didn't say much, just nodded and followed William to leave the bridge.

The air corridor not far from the bridge.

Below the corridor are the crew and engineers who are busy working, as well as the elite marines who are on patrol.

At this time, in the middle of the corridor, William leaned on the railing with both hands, looked at the dedicated employees below, and asked Halsey, who was standing on his left hand side, after a moment of silence:

"Catherine, how many civilizations do you think exist in the entire universe?"

"Why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Halsey walked forward slowly, stretched out his right hand to hold William's left hand, and asked back with a smile:

"Are you worried about something again, fool, do we need to hide anything between husband and wife? Tell me about it."

"Hmm..." After feeling Halsey's gentle side, William stopped hiding and said:

"Actually, I once accidentally read a novel on the Internet, the content is..."

next.

William told Halsey all about The Three-Body Problem, as far as he could remember.

After listening to William's words like 'water drop', 'three-body man', 'dark forest', 'sword bearer' and 'two-way foil', Halsey's face also became much more dignified.

Then, she fell into long-term thinking.

William, who was at the side, had a much more relaxed expression on his face. After all, he almost let go of all the things that were pent up in his heart, and his psychological burden was naturally much less.

When William saw Halsey lost in thought, he consciously did not disturb her, and waited quietly.

After a few minutes.

"To be able to write such forward-thinking novels, I would like to meet this writer, or her."

? !

Hearing this, William was stunned on the spot, and then he spread his hands helplessly and explained:

"This...Catherine, I don't think you will see him anymore, and you know...this is one of the secrets I can't tell."

"Hum... is it, that's a pity." Halsey didn't show much disappointment, as if he had already guessed the result.

Then she said in a deep voice: "The law of the dark forest, the two-way foil, these two theories alone are enough to subvert the understanding of many people."
