The Science Fiction World of Xueba

"Your Excellency the Consul, I am just a representative of a first-level civilization that has just stepped into the age of science, but you are the representative of the most powerful civilization in the Milky Way. It is also a kind of fate to be able to drink tea here today. I believe that you have great respect for me. A lot of questions, of course, I have a lot of questions about you too."

"What do you think of this? We ask each other three questions, and each question must be answered truthfully. If this question is too sensitive, the other party can choose not to answer, but this will waste an opportunity to ask questions, so we have drawn up Every issue requires careful consideration.”

The consul tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Yes."

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said, "In our country, there has always been a tradition of respecting the elderly. You should invite them first."

The consul looked at Pang Xuelin and said with a faint smile: "Then I will not be polite. Mr. Pang, we have checked your information on Earth. You are only 30 years old this year, and you have already won countless honors. You are one of the top scientists in the world. But we found that you did not receive complete academic training, but suddenly broke out at the age of twenty. There must be something incomprehensible to ordinary people, right?"

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback, he never expected that the other party would ask such a question first, without first asking him who was standing behind him.

This question is not important, and Pang Xuelin feels that it is mostly tentative.

After pondering for a moment, Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Some things did happen that made me change so much."

Pang Xuelin didn't say what happened, and the consul didn't continue to ask.

The consul smiled and said, "Mr. Pang, it's your turn."

Pang Xuelin's eyes flickered a little, and he asked, "Your Excellency the Consul, have you ever seen civilizations in extragalactic galaxies?"

The consul's eyes narrowed all of a sudden, and after a long time, he said, "I've never seen it before."

Pang Xuelin nodded.

According to the description in the novel, the battleships of the Carbon-Based Life Alliance need the energy of stars to make time-space leaps, which is the so-called stellar leapfrog.

Flying across the galaxy, even the large and small Magellanic Clouds closest to the Milky Way are separated by a vast void of hundreds of thousands of light years.

This process is basically impossible to cross without the energy provided by stars.

It can be inferred from this that neither the carbon-based life alliance nor the silicon-based life alliance in the Milky Way currently has the ability to fly across the galaxy.

"Okay, it's my turn this time."

The consul pondered for a moment, then asked: "Mr. Pang, after we observed the development of the earth's civilization, we found that human beings are inherited without memory. They use sound waves to communicate with each other, and they use incredible Species that communicate at a rate of 1 to 10 bits per second, such a civilization that evolves independently without interference is extremely rare in the entire galaxy. I would like to ask, is human civilization still in a state of undisturbed?"

Pang Xuelin laughed.

The hidden meaning behind this question from the consul is obvious, whether the mysterious force standing behind Pang Xuelin will intervene in the future development of mankind.

Pang Xuelin said: "It depends on what you think, the consul. If you don't want the carbon-based life alliance to intervene in the development of human beings, then human beings will be in an undisturbed state. If the carbon-based life alliance intervenes, it must be Disturbed..."

"I see!"

The consul nodded, and both of them knew the hidden meaning behind each other's words.

Pang Xuelin said: "Your Excellency the Consul, my second question is, according to human experience, the development of civilization and the progress of technology do not show a uniform speed, but within a certain period of time, due to various factors. Explosive progress, I call it a technological explosion, what I want to ask is, is there such a situation in other civilizations in the galaxy?"

The consul was slightly taken aback.

He originally thought that among the three questions raised by Pang Xuelin, would it involve the technical field.

He was even ready,

If it involves sensitive technology, he refuses to answer. If it is just a general technical question, maybe he can disclose something.

He did not expect that Pang Xuelin would ask such an almost meaningless question.

Technology explosion?

Is this question important?

The consul thought for a while and said, "This situation did exist, especially in the early stages of the development of the Carbon-based Life Alliance. Almost every civilization in the alliance experienced a technological explosion."

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Your Excellency the Consul, the last question is up to you."

The consul fell silent, and this time, his silence was longer than any other time.

After about fifteen minutes, the consul said, "Mr. Pang, my last question is, are we enemies?"

At this moment, not only the consul.

Everyone in the spaceship Blue 84210.

Everyone in the entire carbon-based life alliance cleaning fleet is waiting for Pang Xuelin's answer.

After all, until now, the scientists of the Carbon-based Life Alliance are still unable to answer what kind of existence Pang Xuelin is.

What kind of power is standing behind him.

Whether the two sides are enemies is very important to the Carbon-based Life Alliance!

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said, "We are not enemies, we are just... passers-by!"

"Passerby?"

The consul frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Pang Xuelin just smiled. To this world, he is really just a passerby.

"Okay, it's my turn to ask one last question."

Pang Xuelin stood up, walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "Your Excellency, in the sociology of the universe, there are two basic axioms: 1. Survival is the first need of civilization. 2. The continuous growth and expansion of civilization , but the total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged. In addition, there are two important concepts, the chain of suspicion, plus the technological explosion I just mentioned. From this, the dark forest theory is derived, that is: the universe is a dark forest, and every Every civilization is a hunter with a gun, sneaking in the forest like a ghost, gently pushing aside the branches that block the way, trying not to let the footsteps make a sound, even breathing must be careful: he must be careful, because everywhere in the forest There is a hunter who sneaks like him. If he finds other life, there is only one thing he can do: shoot and destroy it. In this forest, other people are hell and an eternal threat. Any life that exposes its own existence will be wiped out soon.”

"I would like to ask, is this theory valid in this universe?"

A look of shock flashed across the consul's face, he slowly stood up from the wicker chair, opened his mouth, and said after a while: "Mr. Pang, where did you know this theory?"
