The last human in the universe

Chapter 158 Territory
At this moment, in the Yuanhang spacecraft, in the main control room and meeting room, all civilization leaders, members of the war council, and representatives of scientists are all present.Everyone looked serious.

Zhao Changxing looked at Li Qingcheng, the dean of the Academy of Social Sciences: "Professor Li, everyone is here, we can start."

"Yes."

At this moment, the hearts of all the participants were slightly raised.

The theme of this meeting is all the written information about that super civilization that was obtained in that war remnant. After decades of deciphering attempts, all the information up to now A consolidated report.

This matter has been under the responsibility of scientists from the Academy of Social Sciences.Until now, Zhao Changxing finally received a report from Professor Li Qingcheng that "phased results have been obtained", and thus, this meeting will be held.

Professor Li Qingcheng nodded, pressed a button, and an image appeared on the big screen.

That's an image of the Milky Way.Among them, the bright, star-dense galactic center, several cantilevers, etc., are all clearly visible.

"The first thing to explain is that we have only completed a small part of the text deciphering and analysis of the 'remains' civilization. Most of this small part are general and commonly used words, and do not contain Special words. In fact, we don't think we'll be able to decipher these special words at all until we actually get to that level of technology."

The previous super civilization that left those wreckage has been named "Relic Civilization" by experts from the Academy of Social Sciences.

The so-called specific words refer to some words with specific semantics under a higher technological background.For example, words such as "cell" and "gene".

If this kind of specific vocabulary is placed in front of wise men in the feudal era, no matter how smart they are, they will not be able to understand what it means because they lack sufficient technological background.

By the same principle, human civilization is unlikely to understand the specific vocabulary of the relic civilization.

It is simpler to use non-specific words, such as "eat", "drink", "table", "star" and the like.This kind of vocabulary can be understood without sufficient technical background, so it is easier to decipher.

"For this reason, we can hardly decipher the technical details from it. But we still obtained quite important information. This information is mainly about the way of getting along with different civilizations in the Milky Way and the survival of different civilizations model. Or it can be called, the social operation rules of the galaxy."

People all know in their hearts that the current human civilization, compared to the original earth age, is like a countryman who has just walked out of a small mountain village isolated from the world.

Of course, there will be social rules in the small mountain village, and the countryman of "human civilization" has already adapted to and is familiar with the social rules in the small mountain village, knows what to do, and knows how to get along with different people. Patterns, knowing who to draw close to and whom to stay away from, knowing that smiling is good, and fist shaking is threatening.

But if he left the environment of the small mountain village and entered the metropolis, almost all the previous experience would no longer be applicable.He may not understand that people should keep enough distance between them, that they should not inquire too much about other people's privacy, and that people who seem friendly may not really be friendly.

If he wants to live well in the metropolis, he must be familiar with, master, and adapt to the social rules of the metropolis.

Now, human civilization must be familiar with, master and adapt to the social rules that are enforced in the entire galaxy.However, the prerequisite for achieving this goal is to first understand what the social rules that are enforced in the entire galaxy are.

Professor Li Qingcheng looked serious.

"Our conclusion is that this follows the social rules of the entire galaxy, which is very detrimental to us, no, or it can be said that it is very detrimental to all civilizations that have not reached the level of sixth-level civilization."

In the current civilization hierarchy, the sixth-level civilization has mastered technology similar to wormholes.

Zhao Changxing didn't speak, but just listened quietly.

"Some of our previous cognitions have also been confirmed by the information of the relic civilization at this moment. First, the total amount of materials in the Milky Way is limited. Second, peace can only exist between civilizations with similar strengths."

"From these two premises, some other conclusions can be inferred. First, because the current highest technological level in the Milky Way is a sixth-level civilization, only one's own civilization can reach the sixth-level civilization stage. Otherwise, it is impossible to have a fixed territory. and territory.

Deciphering the information shows that the relic civilization should not be the fourth-level civilization we thought before, but a fifth-level civilization.They have mastered the technology of traveling faster than the speed of light.They believe that their strength at the current stage is enough to secure a fixed territory in the Milky Way, avoiding the suffering of wandering civilizations without a fixed place.But unfortunately, the facts show that their strength is still not strong enough. "

"A sixth-level civilization... destroyed them?"

"Yes." Professor Li Qingcheng nodded, pointing to the area of ​​the Orion Arm on the full map of the Milky Way: "According to the results of information deciphering, including our solar system, the vast star field with the longest length of more than [-] light-years belongs to A sixth-level civilization named 'Reaper'—we couldn't complete the real translation of the civilization's name, but the relic civilization used the word 'Reaper' to describe them many times, so we named it the 'Reaper' civilization."

"Death civilization..."

At this moment, all the civilization leaders silently recited the name in their hearts.

"If you haven't reached the sixth-level civilization, and have the strength to make the other six-level civilizations afraid, you must hide yourself and start wandering uninterruptedly, so as not to be discovered by advanced civilizations and usher in a catastrophe.

Facts have proved that hiding oneself and wandering uninterruptedly is an effective means of avoiding the search of advanced civilizations.The deciphered information shows that even if it is as strong as the Reaper civilization, its vast territory of more than 1 light years is only a symbolic meaning.

Its core territory only has no more than a thousand star systems.Most of the star systems in the periphery are remote and desolate places, and the Death God civilization does not have enough energy, time, or motivation to carefully screen each star system.

In fact, the remnant civilization has speculated that this so-called 'territory' division is more like the responsibility area divided by a total of six sixth-level civilizations in the galaxy, that is, each sixth-level civilization is responsible for ensuring its own territory There will be no new six-level civilization to share the cake, causing the interests of every six-level civilization to be damaged. "

"The bus theory." Zhao Changxing said in a low voice: "In the face of a crowded bus, everyone outside the bus is trying to squeeze in, and everyone inside the bus doesn't want anyone to squeeze in. The people outside the car work together to prevent the people outside the car from entering, and once the people outside the car enter, they will immediately change their positions, join the camp inside the car, and start blocking the rest of them from entering."

All level [-] civilizations do not want a new level [-] civilization to be born.Because the total amount of resources in the galaxy is limited.All low-level civilizations are desperately hoping to become a sixth-level civilization.

Once the low-level civilization becomes a sixth-level civilization, it will immediately join the original sixth-level civilization camp, and begin to desperately prevent other civilizations from growing into a sixth-level civilization.

Professor Li Qingcheng nodded and continued: "According to the speculation of the relic civilization, there are a total of six sixth-level civilizations in the Milky Way at this moment, each of which has its own 'territory', or called 'Responsibility Area'. But the Milky Way is too vast. Even the ability of the sixth-level civilization is quite limited, and it is impossible to complete the investigation of all the star fields in the area of ​​responsibility. This provides the possibility for the low-level civilization to move around, avoid the detection of the high-level civilization, and survive in the cracks. Of course, the premise It is low-level civilization that should not stay in one place for too long, and create signs of civilization that can be detected by long-distance means. That would be courting death."

At this moment, people's eyes all looked at Viragash in unison.

Everyone clearly remembers that in the original Moyun Litar civilization, Viragash was a staunch left-behind faction.

Viragash sighed.

"Frankly speaking, I doubt that the destruction of the Laland 21185 galaxy is because the Moyun Litar civilization stayed here for too long."

Zhao Changxing's expression was a little gloomy.

"I was wondering if the destruction of our human civilization, the destruction of the sun, that black hole...is also a means of cleaning up."

Everyone was silent together.

Even with the level of human science and technology, in the face of a civilization equivalent to human civilization, there are places several light-years away. By observing the changes of certain compounds in the atmosphere of the planet, we can determine whether there is civilization there, and roughly speculate its level of civilization.

So... Has the Reaper civilization, whose territory includes tens of billions of stars including the solar system, also noticed the "breath" of civilization that appeared in the solar system?
Is that planet-level black hole the means by which the Reaper civilization cleans up the low-level civilizations in its area of ​​responsibility?

Faced with this situation, Zhuang Yunwei seemed a bit unacceptable.

"Using a black hole to destroy us is not, is it a bit of a big deal?"

Zhao Changxing said in a low voice: "For an ant, a foot with a trampling force of tens of kilograms is also a big deal. After all, only a few tens of grams of trampling force is enough to trample an ant to death. Then, you Will you deliberately control the strength of trampling this ant in order not to make a fuss?"

Zhuang Yunwei shook his head sadly.
