Chapter 270 Discussion on Alien Invasion of Earth (2)

Tang Shuang doesn't discuss politics, so she doesn't take Lu Mingyi's words.

"Therefore, it is not difficult for us to foresee that any civilization with technological prosperity must have such a common feature: close communication between individuals and elimination of prejudice, complex and stable social structure to enable departments to cooperate, and strong and fair government power to maintain normal order."

"Therefore, it is not difficult for us to foresee that any civilization with technological prosperity must have altruistic behaviors in their group life, and the ultimate outcome of extreme egoists can only be isolated and destroyed, because a group can only continue if altruism is widespread. It exists and continues to develop. The more abundant the resources, the larger the group, the closer the communication, the more docile the individual, and the more tolerant of other individuals, the more comfortable and effective the group life can be through positive feedback.”

"Therefore, it is not difficult for us to deduce that an important rule followed by a technologically prosperous civilization is altruistic behavior. Individuals create civilizations, and civilizations also reshape individuals. The most important point for this issue is the development of civilizations. Especially the maturity of modern science will make the whole society moderate and non-violent.”

Ding Feng believed that he had fully understood Tang Shuang's theory, and raised his objection with confidence: "You mean, an alien civilization that can visit the earth, its entire civilization and its individual must be civilized and gentle, right? "

Tang Shuang: "It can be said that way, but there are still a few issues involved."

Ding Feng waved his hand and said, "I don't agree with your point of view at all. Just giving an example will prove you are wrong."

Tang Shuang: "For example?"

Ding Feng: "For example, the party is the same! Two groups in the same civilization attack each other because of certain differences in concepts. This is countless in history."

Ding Ji: "That's right."

There are too many historical cases of party unity and dissent, and anyone who has a little knowledge of history has heard of it.

Lu Yingying thought further, and said: "Not only humans, but also ants. They are extremely united within a group and highly altruistic, but for another group of ants, they have to fight to the death. If according to Tang Shuang you just That said, it doesn’t make sense.”

Lu Mingyi and Wei Daqun didn't speak. In fact, they also had many facts and cases to refute Tang Shuang.

Tang Shuang calmly said to Lu Yingying, "Yingying, pour me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty."

Lu Yingying smiled, everyone is waiting for your explanation, and she still wants to drink tea!
Tang Shuang: "Whether it's the same party or ants, I want to ask everyone, why are they fighting to the death?"

Ding Feng said impatiently: "We are asking you, don't always ask back."

Lu Yingying smiled and said, "It's because of robbing resources."

Lu Mingyi also said: "The ideas don't match."

Tang Shuang: "Yes, the reason why they are fighting to the death is because they have a direct competitive relationship, and if there is no such competitive relationship, will there be any parties that fight against differences? There will be no!"

"In the entire space-time universe, we and the aliens don't have any resources to compete for. The so-called faction is just a waste of energy. Yingying, do you think I'm right?"

Lu Yingying smiled and said, "Yes~"

Ding Ji was not very happy, this Tang Shuang dared to tease his goddess!Unable to bear it, he retorted: "No competition does not mean that they will be friendly. Do pigs compete with us? Why don't they be domesticated and slaughtered as usual!"

Speaking of this, Ding Ji felt that he had grasped the key to the problem, and continued to pursue: "If you follow Tang Shuang's words, there will not be so many extinctions in our world, and the giant panda will not be endangered."

Lu Mingyi looked at him and Tang Shuang didn't speak.

Tang Shuang: "This involves the issue of ecological balance."

"As we all know, when the ecosystem reaches equilibrium, each ecological niche can only accommodate one species. Of course, humans are an exception, because with the development of intelligence, each new production technology of humans can be discovered from the environment And use new resources to increase the upper limit of the population size. When the population size reaches this upper limit, intelligent species will develop newer technologies, find more resources from the environment, and continue to increase the upper limit of the population size until it occupies all possible resources, all possible time and space, and even all possible ecological niches, leaving no retreat for any opponent at all.”

"This is why as humans develop, animals and plants are rapidly becoming extinct, because we seize their ecological niches. From this perspective, we are in competition with all animals and plants on the earth."

Ding Ji thought for a while, and then asked: "Then why are you sure that, for alien civilizations, humans on Earth will not be in the ecological niche they want to seize? Maybe humans are the next creature to be extinct."

Tang Shuang: "You asked this question well, because it happens to relate to the question I'm going to answer next."

Ding Ji: "What's the problem? Tell me!"

Tang Shuang: "What is the purpose of alien civilizations invading the earth? In other words, what attracts them to come across time and space? Yingying, you answer."

Wei Daqun looked at Tang Shuang amusedly. Do young people want to show such obvious favoritism?Also point us old men to answer once.

Lu Yingying: "Water, air."

She watches too many movies.

Ding Ji: "Mine resources."

Tang Shuang and Lu Yingying looked at him with your silly eyes at the same time, human beings are trying to find ways to mine in the universe, which alien civilization has nothing to do and ran to this corner of the earth to mine minerals!

Ding Ji also realized that this answer was mentally retarded, so he wanted to win back, and said, "Animals and plants!"

Tang Shuang liked it, the young man is good, the answer is correct!

"That's right, it's animals and plants. To be precise, it's advanced intelligent life, that is, us humans. If alien civilizations are really coming, they're looking at us."

Lu Yingying was a good partner, and asked at the right time, "Why?"

Tang Shuang: "The rarest thing in the universe is life. We humans have been searching for so many years, but we haven't found a single life in space. For a higher civilization, a brand-new intelligent species that is different from them has immeasurable value because they can provide strategies that push the boundaries of logic."

What's the meaning?Can't understand.

Tang Shuang: "This brings us back to the first question, scientific and technological progress! Scientific and technological progress depends on theoretical progress. Where does theoretical progress come from?"

When Tang Shuang asked Lu Yingying, the girl shook her head and said she couldn't guess.

Lu Mingyi thought for a while and said, "Practice objectively."

Tang Shuang: "Old Lu is right. Theoretical progress comes from two aspects, systematic and objective observation and rigorous and effective inference, which is what we usually call experiment and logic."

"Among all observable objective things, life phenomena including human civilization are the most worthy of observation. Just like we observe chimpanzees, monkeys and any kind of biological group, by observing them and obtaining data, we can use this Come learn about the world."

"So, what kind of attitude will another alien civilization with a prosperous technology look at the human beings on Earth? I think they will only carefully observe these miracles of life and civilization with curious eyes, rather than Captain Columbus, who is barbaric. His atrocities have made a mess here."

……

"So, even if there is a powerful interstellar civilization that can easily reach every corner of the universe and establish a galactic empire, the most likely status of the earth will be a civilization protection zone, protected with its unique research value and specimen value, Put it under covert surveillance and exclude alien life, especially the interference of alien civilizations. It’s like we divide nature reserves in the jungle, restrict all development, ambush cameras, and quietly observe the most natural appearance of primates.”

Tang Shuang: "This is what I think the alien civilization that can visit the earth should be civilized and friendly, rather than the cruelty and blood in film and television dramas."

Lu Mingyi: "The young man speaks very reasonably, just like your father, he has a sharp mind and can speak eloquently."

Brother Sanjian has a sharp mind and it's true that he can speak eloquently, Tang Shuang thought to himself, that guy who often says that he can't beat him will use violence, it's scary.

Lu Yingying's eyes were shining brightly, which made Ding Ji very sad.

Shouldn't sci-fi topics be his forte? How could this Tang Shuang steal the limelight? What a monk.
