I kidnapped an alien civilization

Li Mo asked suspiciously: "What does the Alliance of Civilizations mean?"

"According to the 'Dark Forest' law, due to the existence of the chain of suspicion, it is impossible for civilizations to communicate with each other. How did this alliance come about?"

"Hahahaha." The gray fog rolled on the high platform, and the big-headed Pajero laughed loudly, "Before answering your doubts, you need to answer my question."

"Assuming that there is a level 3 civilization named Alpha in the vast universe. The Alpha civilization is very happy to develop resource stars in the galaxy. At this time, they suddenly discovered a planet named Omega hundreds of light years away. When there are traces of civilization on the earth, what should the Alpha civilization do?"

Facing the potential danger, the Alpha civilization has two choices, one is to launch a strike, and the other is to turn a blind eye.

Launching a strike is in line with the law of the 'Dark Forest'; turning a blind eye is against the law of the 'Dark Forest'.

Li Mo pondered for a moment: "According to the 'Dark Forest' law, the Alpha civilization should use a light particle weapon to destroy the Omega star that has traces of civilization on the premise of hiding itself. Because if the Omega star The civilization has reached level 3 or above, and they will discover the Alpha civilization sooner or later. In order to eliminate potential dangers, the Alpha civilization can only launch a strike."

"If the civilization on this planet has not yet reached Level 3, according to the theory of the Big Bang of Wisdom, maybe in the next second, the civilization on Omega will develop rapidly, break through the bottleneck and have the same technological power as the Alpha civilization. This possibility is eliminated in the bud, and the Alpha civilization still has no choice but to launch a strike."

This is exactly the cruelty of the 'Dark Forest' law. The entire universe has become a large chicken-eating map. In order to successfully eat chickens, civilizations have no choice but to carry out devastating blows to other civilizations that appear in sight.

On the high platform, the fog is filled

"Conjecture!"

"Your answer is completely based on the imagination of low-level civilized creatures about the universe!"

"It seems that the lower the civilization, the more it loses its respect for the mystery of the universe."

"When a civilization becomes a first-level civilization, it has the ability to develop stars, and it may think that it is the god of this universe."

"But when this civilization develops to a level 4 civilization, it will know that it is just an insignificant insect in this universe!"

The big-headed Pajero sighed: "What if the Omega star destroyed by the Alpha civilization is a resource star of a high-level civilization?"

"Isn't the Alpha civilization afraid of the inevitable counterattack?"

Li Mo added: "Alpha civilization can hide it in advance before launching a strike. In this way, high-level civilizations will not be able to find out where the strike came from."

The big-headed Pajero retorted: "As a level 3 civilization, how can the Alpha civilization ensure that its concealment methods are enough to hide from the eyes of high-level civilizations?"

"This..." Li Mo was at a loss for words.

Yes, low-level civilizations are "absolutely unimaginable", what kind of technological capabilities high-level civilizations possess.

This "absolutely unimaginable" means that no reasonable defense can be made!

Just like primitive people absolutely can't imagine the plane in the 0.7-level human civilization technology. This kind of iron box that can travel in the air has surpassed their imagination.

What would happen if a modern fighter was used to attack the strongest primitive in a tribe?

Primitive people "absolutely cannot imagine" the principle of the existence of the iron box and the way of attack.

The extremely strong primitive man would hold a stone spear and carry a shield made of rattan, and then appear fearlessly in the sight of modern fighter jets.

Because the stone spear in his hand once pierced the belly of the most ferocious animal in the forest; the rattan shield he carried could not pierce even the sharpest beast's teeth. The iron box in the sky, which doesn't look majestic and mighty at all, is definitely not his opponent, the strongest man in the tribe.

At this time, the fighter jet had locked on the poor primitive man with radar, and the pilot pressed the 'launch' button lightly, and an infrared guided missile with flames glowing from its tail roared towards the target.

When the primitive people on the ground saw the missiles coming from the air. There was no look of fear, but his face was full of confidence. He slowly raised his shield, posing in the most manly posture. He knew that all the women in the tribe must be hiding in the crevices of the rocks at this time, watching the battle with big eyes, and they tend to choose the men who are strong that day.

He decided to use an extremely strong shield to block the missile in the air, and then throw a stone spear to kill the iron box in the air.

A missile powerful enough to destroy a building.

A body of flesh and blood.

What will happen when the two meet!

There is no doubt that it is destruction! This is a result that any modern human being can foresee, but primitive human beings don't know it, so they will only choose the "self-righteous" fighting method according to their own understanding of the universe.

This is the inevitable result of "absolutely unimaginable".

Primitive humans and modern humans are the same kind of creatures, have the same genetic information and living conditions, and the difference in civilization level is only 0.7 levels. This is absolutely unimaginable.

So when a low-level civilization faces a high-level civilization of an unknown race, it must be in an "absolutely unimaginable" situation. Is it really a good choice to launch a strike rashly under such circumstances?

Li Mo's heart was shaken.

"You know, the essence of this universe is information. Higher civilizations often have the ability to 'read' all kinds of information. There is an old saying on your earth: everything that happens, will leave traces." The big-headed Pajero continued to explain .

"This also means that no attack can be hidden from the eyes of high-level civilizations. Once the Alpha civilization launches an attack, it will inevitably receive a devastating counterattack."

"Of course, the civilization on Omega may only be a low-level civilization below level 3, so light particles can completely destroy this civilization."

"But would an Alpha civilization risk being destroyed just because of a casual glimpse millions of light-years away?"

"This is a behavior in which the benefits are not proportional to the risks!"

"This..." Li Mo scratched his head and seemed to think of an explanation. He smiled and said, "Perhaps, the Alpha civilization should investigate the Omega star before launching an attack to determine the level of the Omega star civilization."

"Wrong!" The big-headed Pajero looked like a teacher correcting homework, and his voice sounded like Hong Zhong: "You have once again forgotten that the essence of this universe is information."

"Deliberate reconnaissance and casual glances are two completely different kinds of information. High-level civilizations don't care about 'casual glances', because the entire universe is full of curious gazes."

"But 'deliberate reconnaissance' is different. In the eyes of high-level civilizations, this has become a prelude to launching an attack, a declaration of war. Maybe Alpha civilization may be hit suddenly before it emits light particles."

"Then" Li Mo found that this has become a paradox: if you don't investigate the Omega star, you can't be sure whether the civilization on the planet is a high-level civilization, and you can't launch an attack. If a deliberate investigation is carried out on the Omega planet, if the civilization on the planet is a high-level civilization, it will also attract a sudden blow.

Then in the face of this situation, if the Alpha civilization does not want to destroy the civilization because of a "random glance", the best thing to do is to do nothing and just treat the traces of the civilization of the Omega planet as non-existent.

But this is contrary to the 'Dark Forest' law.
