Douluo: My martial soul is Digimon

Chapter 106 The Law of the Dark Forest

As Genos explained and after reading the group announcement, the four newcomers from different worlds had a general understanding of the chat group.

Ye Hei: "So, the group leader is a time traveler, so do you know about my world?"

Ye Fan, who was watching "Su Wen" in the room, looked at the interface in front of him and was lost in thought.

I didn't expect that one day I would get the golden finger in the novel, and I was a little excited when I thought about it.

He is very interested in powerful skills and immortality.

Ye Fan has been interested in ancient legends, gods and ghosts since he was a child.

From the clues in those ancient books, it was discovered that there were Qigong practitioners in ancient times who could live forever and had incredible abilities.

Ye Fan has always longed for immortals and longed to see them forever.

In the shopping malls I just looked at, there was an elixir of immortality. One pill could extend a person's life by a hundred thousand years. Unfortunately, he only had the ten points he had just signed in. He could only buy a small flat peach at most.

As for those skills, in addition to martial arts, there were also magical powers and secret techniques, which made Ye Fan feel itchy.

However, there is a lack of points.

It is very difficult to exchange for points.

One hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for a few points. Although Ye Fan has a small fortune, he can't afford such a hassle.

What's more, this is a legal society. If you really get a lot of gold, you will probably come to check the water meter the next day.

And the Tianji King Hexi in the Angel Nebula put down the red wine glass in his hand and thought to himself: "It is impossible to analyze the chat group that connects all the worlds. It is such a big effort, what is the purpose?"

"These techniques and soul beasts are quite interesting."

"You can get points by uploading items. This function is quite good."

"The Flaming Sword is only worth 100,000 points, and it can only be uploaded once. This is too much!"

Just like getting a new toy, He Xi, who is over 30,000 years old, is having a great time playing with it.

At the same time, I was also observing the chat group curiously, wanting to know some news about other worlds.

The known universe has been almost explored by angel civilization. This is the first time she has come into contact with civilizations in other universes, so she is inevitably curious.

Genos: "I do know some things about your world."

Iron Man: "Really or not, am I also a person in comics and movies? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Tony Stark is quite proud and arrogant, and somewhat unable to accept that he is a character written by others.

Genos: "It depends on how you understand it."

Sword Holder: "Me too? What does the title Sword Holder mean?"

Genos: "The sword holder is a special position for you in the future. You are in the Trisolaran world, which is unfriendly to humans and even life in the entire universe. It is filled with the laws of the dark forest."

Sword holder: "Group leader, what is the law of the dark forest?"

Today's Luo Ji has not yet become a wall-facer, let alone a sword-wielder hundreds of years from now, so the sociology of the universe is not involved.

Genos: "To put it simply, we need to find two axioms for cosmic civilization."

Genos: "First, survival is the first need of civilization. Second, civilization continues to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged."

Iron Man: "What do you want to say? There are aliens in the universe? But the universe is extremely vast. Even if there are aliens, there won't be a shortage of resources, right?"

Genos: "You are wrong. The universe is big, but life is even bigger. This is what the second axiom shows. The total amount of matter in the universe is basically constant, but life is increasing exponentially."

Genos: "Take humans as an example. Once humans enter the interstellar age, in one million years, Earth civilization will crowd the entire galaxy."

Genos: "And one million years, measured by the scale of the universe, is only a short time."

Sword Holder: "You are saying that in the long run, the entire universe is a life and death situation. If humans want to survive, they must plunder the resources of other aliens in order to survive for a long time?"

Genos: "You don't have to look at it in the long run, the Trisolaran world is already a life and death situation!"

He Xi frowned slightly when he saw this.

She could understand the meaning of the second axiom.

The resources of the universe are limited, but the growth of civilization in the universe is exponential, and the demand for resources is also growing exponentially.

She has seen many wars break out between civilizations in order to snatch resources.

As for the first axiom, it is simpler.

Survival is the first need of civilization.

Simply understand, no matter what you want to do, you have to live first.

No problem.

But He Xi has not fully understood the laws of the dark forest.

Be patient and read on.

Ying Zheng, Li Mochou, Li Xinghe and others are even more half-informed.

They are still fighting for hegemony in the world. They have not even stepped out of the earth, let alone an interstellar war. They have no concept at all, but they just don't realize how serious it is.

At the same time, I am somewhat curious, are there other civilizations in my own world, and what are they like?

Luo Ji became serious and no longer laughed as before.

After all, this matter concerns his world.

The more I thought about Genos' explanation, the more frightened I became.

Black, too dark!

He vaguely understood the laws of the dark forest.

But he still didn’t give up and continued to ask. Sword Holder: "There are many alien civilizations in our world, so why are there no exchanges between civilizations?"

Genos: "Because exposing one's existence in the universe is an extremely stupid thing."

Iron Man: "This is a bit alarmist. Expose your location and take risks to communicate with aliens. The other party may be malicious, but they may also be well-intentioned. Isn't it better for the two civilizations to progress together?"

Tony was born in the United States, has a relatively open mind, and is relatively technologically advanced.

During the Cold War with the Woolly Bears, the United States explored outer space and sent signals into the universe in an attempt to find aliens.

In Tony's view, contact with aliens has both good and bad consequences, and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Genos: "This involves a key point - the chain of suspicion."

Genos: "You are an arms seller and have seen many wars. If you are in a war zone, the enemy and our personnel are mixed, and snipers from both sides are lurking. At this time, you find a figure a few hundred meters away, but you cannot tell whether it is Friendly forces or terrorists, if you continue to move forward, you may be discovered. What will you do? Will you communicate with him?"

Iron Man: "If I communicate with the other party, the other party may be a terrorist, and I will be finished. If I are the other party, I cannot judge whether it is a friendly force. At the same time, I cannot judge whether the other party will think that I am an enemy. Is this a chain of suspicion? ?”

Genos: "Yes, this is the second level. This logic can be extended forward endlessly. On earth, the chain of suspicion can usually only extend one or two levels, but in the vast universe, the chain of suspicion can It will be extended very long, and the war may have begun before it is canceled by the communication.”

King Tianji: "I believe human nature is good."

Genos: "King Tianji, as you are an excellent scientist, you should know that words like good and evil are not rigorous in science, so their meanings need to be limited: goodwill means not taking the initiative to attack. Malice is the opposite of destroying other civilizations. This is the lowest form of goodwill. More often, it means destroying you, so it has nothing to do with you!"

Tianxiahui Young Gang Leader: "It sounds so scary."

King Tianji: "This is an evil thought. Angels have justice and order and will not let such a thing happen."

Genos: "But in fact, such things happen often even in the super-god world. It's just that the angel civilization is too powerful, cuts off the chain of suspicion in time, and suppresses other civilizations, which makes your universe relatively peaceful. But to a certain extent, isn’t the righteous order of angels bullying the weak?”

Truth is within range, dignity is above the edge of the sword.

Hexi couldn't refute this.

If the angel civilization were not powerful, how could other civilizations be obedient?

Sword Holder: "So, if other civilizations are weaker than me and pose no threat to me, communication is still possible."

Genos: "The Super God World is okay, but the Three-Body World is not, because in your universe, the Dark Forest has already taken shape, and it involves the second important concept - technological explosion."

Genos: "The speed and acceleration of civilizational progress are not necessarily consistent. A weak civilization is likely to surpass a powerful civilization in a short period of time. So even if this civilization is only an infant civilization or a budding civilization, for other civilizations, It’s also full of danger and uncertainty.”

Genos: "When communication and silence fail, there is only one option left."

The other group members were all shocked.

My heart sank suddenly, as if I had been hit by a heavy hammer.

black!

What a shame!

According to this reasoning, when other civilizations are discovered, the only option is to destroy them.

The first to take action is to seize the opportunity.

Tony Stark feels like he's opened Pandora's box.

"Is this the secret of the universe? If you find another civilization, you must find a way to destroy it!"

"That Earth..."

"Boiled!"

Thinking of those idiots sending the coordinates of the Earth into space, Tony Stark's scalp went numb.

This guy is seeking death!

If we lure the devils, bah, aliens to the earth, it won’t be all over!

Sure enough, these politicians are just a bunch of losers.

Luo Ji was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

At the same time, I completely understood what the dark forest is.

The universe is a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun.

Lurking in the forest like a ghost, gently pushing aside the branches blocking the way, trying not to make a sound, even breathing carefully.

Suppose there are a million hunters in the dark forest of the universe and find a target. There may be 900,000 who ignore the sign;

Of the remaining 100,000 hunters, there may be 90,000 who will detect that location, confirm that there is no living thing there, and then ignore it;

Then among the last 10,000 hunters, someone will definitely make this choice: try firing a shot at that location.

Because for civilizations whose technology has developed to a certain level, attacking may be less labor-intensive and safer than detection. If there is really nothing at that location, you will have nothing to lose.

This is the background of cosmic civilization!

Under this cruel dark forest law, if you want to survive, you have to do your best to hide yourself.

In contrast, Hexi was rejoicing.

Fortunately, the world they live in has the righteous order of angels illuminating the universe and does not give the dark forest the soil to grow.

She discovered that the Law of the Dark Forest did appear in the Supergod Universe.

At the time, the Deno galaxy and the Lieyang civilization had experienced a technological explosion, and coupled with the chain of suspicion, the Deno civilization almost perished together.

The Lieyang civilization also paid a heavy price.

There are also battles in the form of the Kamigawa body, the beast body, and the triangle body, and the shadow of the dark forest can also be seen.

The two axioms and concepts of the Dark Forest are both very resistant to scrutiny and can form a logical closed loop.

This new view of the universe surprised He Xi, and at the same time he admired Kesha even more.

If Kesha hadn't spread justice and order in the universe, it would be hard for her to imagine what the universe would be like?

Maybe a just order is not perfect, but it is better than no order and letting civilization grow barbarically!

Then He Xi thought of the "ultimate fear" mentioned in the Super Seminary. This topic is taboo among angels.

"I wonder if this group leader knows the answer?"
