Chapter 420 The Dark Forest Paradox

Li Mo asked in confusion: “What does the Alliance of Civilizations mean?”

“According to the ‘Dark Forest’ rule, 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 on the high platform Rolling over, Pajeluian laughed out loud, “Before answering your doubts, you need to answer me a question.”

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

In the face of potential danger, Alpha Civilization has two choices, one is to strike, the other is to turn a blind eye.

To launch a strike is in accordance with the law of ‘Dark Forest’; to turn a blind eye is against the law of ‘Dark Forest’.

Li Mo pondered for a moment: “According to the ‘Dark Forest’ rule, the Alpha civilization should use a particle of light weapon to destroy the Omega star that has traces of civilization on the premise of hiding itself. .Because if the civilization on Planet Omega has reached Level 3 or above, they will sooner or later discover the Alpha Civilization. In order to eliminate the potential danger, the Alpha Civilization can only launch a strike.”

“If this The civilization on this planet has not yet reached Level 3. According to the Big Bang Theory of Wisdom, maybe in the next second, the civilization on Omega will develop rapidly, making a breakthrough to have the same scientific and technological power as the Alpha civilization. In order to make this probability Destroyed in the bud, the Alpha Civilization can still only choose to strike.”

This is the cruelty of the ‘Dark Forest’ law. The entire universe has become a large-scale chicken-eating map. In order to successfully eat chicken, civilization has no choice but to deal devastating blows to other civilizations that appear in sight.

On the high platform, the gray fog filled the air

“Imagination!”

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

“It seems that the lower-level civilization is, the less revered it is for the mystery of this universe.”

“When a civilization becomes a Level 1 civilization, it has the ability to develop stars.” 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 Pajeluian long sighed: “What if the Omega star destroyed by the Alpha civilization is a resource star of a High Rank civilization?”

“The Alpha civilization is not afraid of the inevitable counterattack. Is it?”

Li Mo added: “Alpha civilization can hide in advance before launching a strike. This way, High Rank civilization can’t find out where the attack came from.”

Big Head Pajeluian retorted: “As a Level 3 civilization, how can the Alpha civilization ensure that its own concealment methods are enough to hide from the eyes of the High Rank civilization?”

“This” Li Mo was at a loss for words.

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

This “absolutely unimaginable” means no reasonable defense!

Like primordial people absolutely can’t imagine planes in 0.Level 7 human civilization technology. This iron box that can travel in the air has surpassed their imagination.

What would happen if a modern fighter were to attack the strongest primordial in a tribe?

primordial people “absolutely can’t imagine” how the iron box exists and how it attacks.

Incomparably strong primordials, armed with stone spears and woven rattan shields, appear fearless in the sight of modern fighter jets.

Because the stone spear in his hand had pierced the belly of the most ferocious animal in the forest; the rattan shield he carried could not pierce even the sharpest wild beast teeth. The iron box in the sky that did not look majestic and mighty at all was definitely not the opponent of him, the strongest man in the tribe.

At this time, the fighter had locked the poor primordial man with radar, the pilot pressed the ‘launch’ button, and an infrared guided missile tail section was blazing and roaring to the target.

primordial people on the ground when they see missiles in the air. There was no fear, but his face was filled with confidence. He slowly raised his shield and assumed the most manly pose. 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 tended to choose the man who was strong that day.

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

A missile large enough to destroy a building.

A 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 can predict, but primordial humans don’t know, so they will only choose the battle method of ‘believe oneself infallible’ according to their own understanding of the universe.

This is the “absolutely unimaginable”, inevitable result.

Primordial humans and modern humans are the same kind of creatures, have the same genetic information and living conditions, and the civilization level is only 0.Level 7 different. This is absolutely unimaginable.

So when a low-level civilization faces a high-rank civilization of an unknown race, it must be “absolutely unimaginable”. Is it really a good choice to launch a rash attack in this situation?

Li Mo’s heart was shaken.

“You must know that 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 that says: Whatever happens, it will leave traces.” Big head Pajeluian went on to explain.

“This also means that no attack moves can hide from the eyes of the High Rank civilization. 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 the light particles can completely destroy this civilization.”

“However, the Alpha civilization will only be due to the impact of several millions of light-years. Are you attacking at the risk of being destroyed with just a casual glance?”

“This is an act of disproportionate benefit to risk!”

“This” Li Mo Scratching his head, he seemed to think of how to explain it. He smiled and said, “Perhaps, Alpha Civilization should conduct a reconnaissance on Omega before launching an attack to determine the level of Omega civilization.”

“Wrong!” The big head Pajelu is like a teacher who is marking homework, and his voice is like a bell: “You forget again that the essence of this universe is information.”

“Deliberate investigation and casual glances are two different things. A completely different kind of information, High Rank civilizations don’t care about ‘casual glances’, because the entire universe is full of curious eyes.”

“But ‘deliberate reconnaissance’ is different, in the eyes of High Rank civilizations , which has become a prelude to launching an attack, a declaration of war. Maybe the Alpha civilization has not yet launched the light particles, and there may be a sudden blow.”

“That” Li Mo found that this had become a A paradox: Without scouting Omega, it is impossible to determine whether the civilization on the planet is a High Rank civilization, and thus cannot launch an attack. If the planet Omega is deliberately reconnaissance, if the civilization on the planet is a High Rank civilization, it will also attract a sudden blow.

So in the face of this situation, if the Alpha Civilization does not want to destroy the civilization because of a ‘random glance’, the best way is to do nothing and just treat the traces of the civilization of Omega as non-existent.

But this again goes against the law of ‘Dark Forest’.
