Fabricating The World: Creating A Three-Body Invasion At The Beginning

Luo Ji and Shi Qiang each lit a cigarette. In the darkness, two small sparks faced each other far away.

"Okay, in order to deduce it, we need to build a simple universe model next!"

"Take the two cigarettes in our hands as an example. These two sparks represent two civilizations. There are only two civilizations in the entire universe, and nothing else."

Luo Ji continued to add the basic settings of this universe model.

"Now let's assume that the distance between these two civilizations is, well, just a hundred light years! You have detected my existence, but I have no idea about your existence."

Shi Qiang nodded, indicating that he had memorized Luo Ji's settings.

"Don't nod in a hurry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Next we need to define a basic concept for civilization - good and evil. In fact, these two terms are not rigorous in science."

"So let's just assume that good means not actively attacking and destroying other civilizations, while evil means the opposite. This is already the lowest goodwill.

"Three seven three" "Then we can start to analyze. After you discover me, how should you treat me? Remember, when deriving, you must always keep in mind the axioms of cosmic civilization, as well as the distance between the environment of the cosmos and civilization. .

Da Shi nodded, and then said the choice shared by the vast majority of the audience: "Then I choose to communicate with you?"

"If you do this, please remember the price you paid - you exposed your existence to me."

Da Shi continued to nod: "Yes, this is not a trivial matter in the universe."

"Exposure is also divided into various degrees. The strongest exposure is that I determine your detailed coordinates, and the weakest exposure is that I only know your existence. But even the weakest exposure. , I will find you one day, from a technical point of view, it is just a matter of time."

Da Shi was silent for a moment: "I can choose to take a risk to communicate with you. If you are a malicious civilization, then I will consider myself unlucky. If you are a benevolent civilization, then we can unite to form a larger benevolent civilization."

Hearing this, Luo Ji's voice suddenly became louder: "Okay, Da Shi, we have finally come to the most critical part.

"Next, let's go back to the axioms of universal civilization and think about it carefully. Even if I am a well-intentioned civilization, can I determine that you are well-intentioned before the communication begins?"

Da Shi thought carefully for a moment: "No, this violates the first axiom."

That's right, since survival is the first need of civilization, when two strange civilizations come into contact, no matter what their civilization's organizational structure or moral level is, they must speculate on each other with the greatest malice!

Although this kind of bottom-line thinking has plunged the entire universe into a chain of suspicion that cannot be seen through, it has also ensured the safety of its own civilization to the greatest extent!

Luo Ji continued to ask: "So, what should I do after I receive your message?"

Da Shi immediately replied: "Of course you should first judge my good and evil. If I am malicious, you destroy me. If you are kind, then we continue to communicate."

"This judgment is correct on earth, but not in the universe! Now we introduce a very important concept - the chain of suspicion."

"It's a weird word." Da Shi complained.

"I just got the word at first and she didn't explain the meaning in detail, but then I guessed it based on the literal meaning."

"He? Who is he?!"

Da Shi didn’t know the identity of the person Luo Ji was talking about, but the audience outside the video knew it very well!

Of course she is Ye Wenjie who inspired Luo Ji to create cosmic sociology!

A traitor to the human world, but also an old man who left behind hope for salvation!

Luo Ji felt a little complicated, so he said: "As for her identity, we will talk about it later when we have the opportunity.

"Now we continue to deduce. Based on the conclusion we just concluded, no matter whether we are good or evil, we cannot assume that the other party is a benevolent civilization."

"So, now you don't know what I think of you, you don't know whether I think you are kind or malicious.

"Further, even if you know that I imagine you as being kind, I also know that you imagine me as being kind, but I don't know what you think of me, what I think of you, what you think of me."

Da Shi quickly said: "Okay, okay, I know what you mean, stop talking!"

"So, this is the chain of suspicion you are talking about?" After teasing, Da Shi asked again.

"Yes, this kind of thing cannot be seen on earth. Common species, similar culture, and close distance. In such an environment, the chain of suspicion can extend to twelve levels and be dissolved by communication.

"But in the universe, the chain of suspicion will be infinitely amplified! Even before the two parties can communicate, things like the Dark Battle have already happened!"

Da Shi took a deep drag on his cigarette: "In other words, whether I am a civilized person with good intentions or a malicious person, the result will be the same?"

Luo Ji nodded: "This is the most important characteristic of the suspicion chain. It has nothing to do with the structure and value orientation of civilization. Once you fall into the suspicion chain, both ends of the chain have been assimilated into the same thing!"

"But if you are much weaker than me and pose no threat to me, then I can always contact you, right?"

Luo Ji shook his head: "It still doesn't work [This will lead to the second important concept of technological explosion."

"She didn't have time to explain this word, but inferring it is much simpler than the chain of suspicion."

With Da Shi and countless audiences listening carefully, Luo Ji began to continue explaining...

"Human civilization has a history of tens of thousands of years, and the history of life on earth is billions of years long, but almost all the technologies of modern civilization began to develop three hundred years ago!"

"From the time scale of the universe, this is not a development at all, but an explosion!"

"The possibility of technological leaps is the gunpowder buried deep in every civilization. Once stimulated by external or internal factors, it may be ignited!"

"We have no reason to think that human beings are the fastest developing in the universe, but even so, it only took human beings two hundred years to develop to where they are today. So what about those civilizations that have developed faster than the earth?"

"In our universe model, I am very likely to have a technological explosion due to your appearance. Therefore, even if I am much weaker than you, I am still full of threats to you!"

Shi Qiang looked at the sparks in the darkness in Luo Ji's hand, and then at the cigarette butt in his own hand.

"Then, I can only remain silent."

Luo Ji laughed again: "If you think about it carefully, is this possible?"

Da Shi thought for a moment and replied: "No way! If you are stronger than me, since I can find you, you can also find me one day."

"Even if you are weaker than me, you may still have a technological explosion and surpass me, which will become the first situation again."

"So, whether I let you know about my existence or let you continue to develop without caring about me, it is very dangerous for me and violates the first axiom."

Luo Ji smiled and said: "Da Shi, you are indeed a very sober person.

"I can barely keep up with your thinking at this beginning."

Luo Ji was silent for a long time in the darkness 4.8. His face faintly appeared several times in the dim light of Mars before he said:

"It's not the beginning, our reasoning is over!"

Da Shi was a little puzzled: "It's over? We haven't launched anything yet, and what about the picture of cosmic civilization you mentioned?"

The man laughed softly: "When you learn of my existence, communication and silence violate the first axiom, and then you have only the last option left."

In the long silence, the two sparks symbolizing civilization were extinguished.

There was no wind, and the darkness became as sticky as asphalt in the silence, merging the desert and the starry sky into one.

"Fuck!" Da Shi opened his mouth desperately, but only this one word came out.

"Magnify your choices to countless civilizations with hundreds of billions of stars, and the big picture of the universe will emerge!"

"This is... too dark!"

PS: I vomited. This sensitive word has stuck with me for so long. It took me a long time to find it...
