Elaine retreated behind Hawking.

Hawking looked calm, and after a short period of sluggishness, he instantly accepted that Huang Ji was not a person.

Even if Huang Ji looks exactly the same as a human.

In this regard, Hawking did not have the slightest fear, some were more excited and curious.

“So who the hell are you? Chinese. Hawking’s electronic voice said.

“I’m just a lover of primitive civilizations. Huang Ji seemed to be stating one thing.

Hawking was silent.

He had a lot to say, but his body limited the speed at which he could output his language.

Just when he was anxious, what he just wanted to say was directly presented on the computer and played out through the synthesizer.

The synthesizer said: “I have considered the existence of aliens, and even deduced many times, after all, my main focus is cosmology…”

“Huh? Oooo Hahahaha… ABCD…… What did you do? Chinese? ”

As soon as Hawking wanted to say something, he immediately appeared on the personal computer in the wheelchair, with a delay of less than a second.

Huang Ji said: “A little bit of technology. ”

He just used his Buddha bone finger to transmit what Hawking was going to say to the computer. Of course, in Hawking’s view, he thought it was human-machine docking technology.

There is such a technology on Earth, but it is very immature and requires access to a large number of neural sensors. And Huang Ji didn’t seem to do anything, making the man-machine docking technology silent.

Hawking immediately said: “Of the aliens I envisioned, you are the most incredible one. Lovers of primitive civilization … To be honest, I never thought about it. ”

Huang Ji said noncommittally: “Then what will the interstellar civilization you envision look like?” ”

Hawking said: “In my opinion, human contact with extraterrestrial civilizations must bear a terrible price. ”

“This is the inevitability brought about by the disparity of power, if extraterrestrial civilizations find humans, then humanity will face great despair, even if aliens do not choose to destroy humans, human beings are only like a plaything.” ”

“Even one act of interest by aliens,

It will also bring unbearable consequences to human beings. ”

“Destruction or enslavement is highly possible, and assimilation is the best outcome. The so-called common development in the movie is a completely unrealistic thing… That’s opera. ”

“The discovery of Earthlings by interstellar civilizations is like the discovery of America by the Spaniards, and they have dealt a devastating blow to the natives. War, plague, plunder, and famine filled the continent for hundreds of years, until the three great American civilizations disappeared…”

Huang Ji said: “You are right in the general direction, but it is too radical. ”

“Yes, I overlooked an important issue, human beings may also encounter individuals of interstellar civilizations, and the behavior of individuals cannot be evaluated in the collective interests of civilization. Hawking said.

When Hawking imagined the meeting between cosmic civilizations, he always deduced from the perspective of an entire civilization.

But when Huang Ji said, ‘I am a lover of primitive civilization’, Hawking realized!

He thought a lot in a short period of time and realized that there were many kinds of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, far more complicated than he thought!

For example, if you meet a maverick individual, then he can indeed be very friendly.

Huang Ji said: “It is very inappropriate to use European colonists to conquer the Americas and compare the relationship between interstellar civilizations and the earth. ”

This metaphor is very famous, so many people believe that the Earth discovered by aliens will be as miserable as the Americas discovered by the Spaniards.

But in fact, this metaphor is playing hooligans.

Hawking asked, “Is there anything wrong with this metaphor?” ”

Huang Ji said: “Spain conquered there for gold and for the incomparably rich resources there, what do you think the earth has?” ”

His words immediately pointed out the most hooligantic part of this metaphor.

Colonists for resources, aliens for what? Also for gold? Impossible, there is a lot of gold in the universe, civilizations that can cross the stars, and some barren planets can dig gold.

Any mineral resources owned on Earth are not scarce in the universe, take the solar system, in fact, more suitable for collecting minerals than Earth, not Mars, not Venus, but the asteroid belt…

Hawking said: “Life on earth is the most precious thing, and the value of other substances is not much higher than that of stone.” ”

“Humans … Human beings themselves are the most valuable beings on earth. ”

“I admit that this metaphor is not appropriate, but this does not prevent interstellar civilization from bringing destruction and disaster to mankind. Indulging human progress threatens them. ”

Huang Ji said: “The closest analogy to the truth should be the indigenous tribes in the Amazon jungle that are still in a very primitive stage. ”

“You study them, observe them, occasionally contact them, hoping that one day they will get out of the jungle, get an ID card, and integrate into modern society…”

“But never wanted to destroy them, did it? Perhaps some people want to enslave them, but mainstream morality does not allow it, and neither does the law. ”

“More importantly, does anyone think that the original indigenous people of the Amazon will pose a threat to countries in South America? ”

Hawking froze as if he were fixed, and he was silent for a long time, thinking about Huang Ji’s words.

After a while, he said, “The primitive tribes of the Amazon are also humans, so we don’t want to hurt them.” Compared with interstellar civilizations, the thinking gap between the two races is extremely large, how can we integrate into their society when we develop? ”

Huang Ji said with a smile: “Each civilization has its own unique society, and in the geographical restrictions such as the galaxy, several civilizations within it combine to form a larger society. They are relatively independent and united with each other, and they are occasionally warring but have the collective empathy of an intelligent civilization. ”

“It’s far more complicated than human society, but you should be able to see its shadow from human society.” ”

“If the earth civilization, stepping into the interstellar, but cannot integrate into this society, then the first to withstand the social pressure is the earthlings, not other mature civilizations.” ”

Hawking’s brain thinks like a storm that in the earth’s society, there are strong countries and weak countries, and beliefs, systems, and cultures are different. They hinder each other but develop together, suppress each other but support each other, attack each other and love each other, but constitute a very complex society.

In Huang Ji’s words, it seems that this is also the case between interstellar civilizations.

Hawking said: “On Earth, if a primitive tribe comes out of the jungle, it will eventually be accommodated by modern society, because they will work hard to integrate into society, work, study, and create value!” Maybe some former indigenous people have optimized their former culture and become a best-selling author. Maybe some former indigenous person will draw inspiration from the music of the past and become a sought-after singer… Perhaps some former indigenous people, or descendants of indigenous people, his thinking is unique and clear, and he will make some inventions in the future that will contribute to the progress of society. ”

“If the indigenous people threaten society, feel that they cannot fit in, and buy a gun to rob, then naturally they will not be recognized by society and will eventually be killed by the police.” ”

“People who can’t adapt to society, it is themselves who perish, not society…”

Huang Ji smiled, this is also what he recently stargaated at night, repeatedly learned, and finally realized.

And Hawking also understood a little and quickly kept up with his pace.

And insight into a very key element in the picture of cosmic civilization, interests.

There must be contradictions between civilizations and civilizations, but there are even more contradictions within civilizations, and contradictions are everywhere.

There may be races in the universe that are absolutely unified in thought, but they are certainly a minority.

So far, mankind has never really united to do one thing, because the interests are not unified enough.

The only thing that has been passively achieved is the formation of a complex pluralistic society.

Even if the catastrophe is imminent, there are a large number of different voices within civilization…

There will even be people driven by selfish interests who downplay the crisis: ‘Ah, it’s okay, everything is fine, just a little problem will pass quickly’. ‘Ah! Maybe we have a better way to solve this problem. ’

As long as there are multiple interstellar civilizations in the galaxy at the same time, and communication can be achieved through technology, a larger society will eventually be formed, because war is far less valuable than communication.

Even the Spanish colonists, whose initial idea was to seek new trade routes, met with the emperor of the Inca Empire, and the two sides did not even understand the language, but still completed the transaction. As a result, smallpox was accidentally passed over, killing tens of millions of people, and decided to conquer, because the cost of war fell dramatically.

The first two civilizations contacted, the other party started first, then their own side lost at most one spaceship, it is impossible for the entire civilization to move the planet over to meet people, right?

After losing part of the benefits, the other side also understands that the other party is a ruthless belligerent civilization, then there is nothing to say, fight.

On the contrary, when the ship returned safely and brought back information about the strange civilization, the two sides established a basic understanding: ‘Oh, at least he is not a warlike civilization. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com He Could Be Lying to Me? Oh, liar, I only see his actions in action. ’

War is a last resort, the United States took the lead in inventing nuclear weapons, and did not dare to fight Soviet Russia, on the one hand, for the sake of the economy, on the other hand, the United States did not know whether Soviet Russia would also develop such a terrifying weapon. So choose a softer way to isolate it, affect it, and finally fission it.

Between strange civilizations, those who dare to shoot first must be the weakest one …

Huang Ji said: “It seems that you understand, Professor Hawking. ”

“Those who integrate into society are just a cog, and society will never fear a cog. ”

“If you can’t fit in, you, not us, will be crazy first.” Binding new members of a society, legal, economic, technological repression, cultural exchange, public order … There is too much to constrain a weak civilization. The value of intelligent beings lies in being alive. Only living intelligent beings can create wealth, and any group can only adapt to society. ”

“The barbaric and brutal practice of destruction and war is a means chosen only by an incompetent society. ”
