The Secret History of Mars

"The ecological chain of civilization can be understood as the intelligent version of the law of the jungle!"

Samimani explained his insight, "A wise civilization hopes that the more diverse the environment it is in, the safer it will be!"

“High-dimensional civilization is like the towering trees in the jungle, and low-dimensional civilization can be seen as the low shrubs and moss in the jungle!

Shrub moss covers the sheltered ground, conserves water sources, and fixes the soil, forming an ecosystem where towering trees can grow upward with confidence! At the same time, the towering trees must control the growth of these low plants so that they cannot overwhelm themselves!

It's a delicate balance!

Once this balance is broken, the towering trees are too greedy and do not give the shrubs and moss the nutrients or sunlight they need to survive. The jungle turns into a desert, and the last towering trees will wither, and the entire ecological chain will eventually collapse! "

Samimani used the ecosystem of the forest to explain the ecosystem of civilization, which fascinated Yuan Yizhou.

"You are saying that high-dimensional civilization does not allow us to be powerful enough to replace or threaten them, but they cannot do without us and will not make it impossible for us to survive?" Yuan Yizhou interpreted Samimani's theory.

"Yes, Mars or potential god-level civilizations know us far more than we know them!

In this case, if they destroy the civilization that is lower than them in the ecological chain but completely under their control, it will be like the fine particles in the sand being sieved out, and the original large pieces of sand and gravel will remain. Then he became the smallest! They will not want to downgrade their civilization in the ecological chain! "

Samimani stated his sieve principle. If the weak are eliminated, then the next weakest will naturally become the weakest. This is a lose-lose situation for all civilizations in the ecological chain!

"That's why they copied their own genes to cultivate the seeds of the earth..." Thinking about it this way, the behavior of many Martians can indeed be explained. Yuan Yizhou nodded and said,

"But if they are the top civilization in the entire ecological chain, why would they worry about filtering out those low-dimensional civilizations? If the towering trees are strong enough to survive in the desert, why would they have to accommodate the shrubs and moss?" Yuan Yizhou still couldn't figure it out.

"This is the mystery of the Dark Forest Law," Samimani glanced at Cui Xingmeng, "Even if you are at the top of the civilization ecological chain in the solar system, you are not necessarily the top of the stellar civilization in the galaxy! A big stone hides It’s even harder to find in a desert filled with fine sand; a towering tree growing in a lush forest won’t be so conspicuous!”

"The essence of civilization is to survive. Mr. Yizhou should have a deep understanding of this point of view after working hard these days!" Samimani said to Yuan Yizhou with a smile.

Yes, just seeing the video of the end of the Jurassic Period was enough to make Yuan Yizhou believe that the Shiyi Period would have the same fate. Out of an instinctive sense of crisis, he regarded the survival of his own civilization as the highest priority. Prioritize it!

"So, what Mr. Sami means is to make high-dimensional civilization feel that the earth's civilization is their shrubs, moss, and the fine sand they hide in?" Yuan Yizhou felt that listening to you was better than reading ten years of books!

As a human on earth, we have always regarded our own civilization as the main body, but we have lost the overall perspective. Unintentionally, we almost put our own civilization in danger!

"I know this is difficult for most people on earth to accept! But Mr. Yizhou, who is transparent, should understand that we humans are just a drop in the ocean in the entire history of the earth, and in the overall situation of the solar system, it is even more insignificant!" Sa Mimani said calmly, "Doing this insignificant drop of peace of mind may be the safest strategy for dealing with all extraterrestrial civilizations at present!"

"Perhaps, we need to find that delicate balance point before we can talk about safety or not!" Yuan Yizhou added his own understanding.

"Mr. Yizhou, do you think this balance point is in the hands of low-dimensional civilization?" Samimani asked Yuan Yizhou in a tone of understanding but disapproval.

Yes, from the time Xingmeng was taken away by the Martians' habitat to everything that happened after that, it seems that high-dimensional civilization is in charge of this process, and there is very little that you can decide!

Cui Xingmeng heard Yuan Yizhou's slightly negative voice and was unhappy, "I don't think this balance point is completely in the hands of high-dimensional civilization!" She directly interrupted the conversation between the two!

"Oh? Miss Xingmeng, tell me!" Samimani has been immersed in his own thoughts and strategies. Cui Xingmeng's completely opposite views aroused his interest.

"Not to mention Martian civilization, it is not much more high-dimensional than Earth civilization!" Cui Xingmeng remembered that Elder Bao Xi once said that Martian civilization is only nearly four-dimensional, and there is no real dimension that breaks through time! So in essence, it is just a little older than the earth's civilization!

"Perhaps in the ecological chain of civilization you just talked about, it is basically on the same level as the earth's civilization, just a little older!

Even if we admit that Martian civilization is more advanced than Earth civilization, the trilogy of Mars reconstruction plans was thought up by people on Earth, and this trilogy plan itself has affected the relationship between the two civilizations!

In other words, it has truly affected the balance point and the game between the two civilizations! "

Cui Xingmeng was the best debater by birth. He presented facts and made sense. Combining the facts that happened in the past few days with Sami's theory, it seemed that there was some truth to it. Sami Mani was at a loss for a while. refute.

"It's a very interesting angle, so Ms. Xingmeng thinks that our negotiation strategy for Mars can be more proactive?" Samimani asked.

"Of course, although we humans are as small as a grain of millet on the scale of earth's history, in today's time and space, we are the masters of this civilization!

We naturally have an obligation to actively negotiate and fight for this civilization, rather than accepting the fate of low-dimensional civilization and being suppressed by high-dimensional civilization! "

The more Cui Xingmeng talked, the more excited she became, which made Yuan Yizhou also feel excited.

"Xing Meng is right, Mr. Sami, we originally prepared a rescue plan with the consciousness of being exterminated! Now that Mr. Xing has analyzed that Mars does not want to exterminate us, then we have no reason to act like other civilizations." Fish and meat, let them bully you!"

Samimani looked at the two passionate young leaders of human civilization in front of him, and was shocked in his heart - yes, the worst outcome is just to end like the Jurassic, so what else? scary!

"Okay, Mr. Yizhou and Miss Xingmeng, then we will live to death and find a better way out for human civilization!"
