Chapter 275 The Great Silence

"Master, this may be one of the reasons why higher civilizations do not contact lower civilizations." Bell said.

"Just because you don't want to be influenced by culture?" Bai Ge thought.

Bell said: "This is only one of the reasons. It also needs to cooperate with the explosion of technology and the cost of war."

The encounter between two civilizations is often an upheaval like a chemical reaction.

In the case of a high-level civilization discovering a low-level civilization, there will be a large silence effect, and the high-level civilization has only two choices.

Either keep ignoring, or destroy the opponent directly.

Because communication is meaningless, first of all, the other party is not profitable, and backward technology is like a joke to advanced civilizations.

Higher civilizations will not help the opponent's technology explosion, because once the technology explodes to the extent that it is useful to itself, it also means that the opponent has a huge threat.

In these cases, risking the consequences of cultural integration to communicate is clearly retarded behavior.Because it has no benefits other than bringing uncontrollable risks to its own civilization.

Because communication has no benefit but harm, so ignoring is the greatest kindness.

If goodwill is not enough, it will inevitably destroy the other party, and it is not even worthy of being called the direct destruction of war.

When basic physics reaches a certain level, minerals and other rare earth resources will become increasingly meaningless.

Hydrogen, helium and carbon are substances found in any galaxy, and there are also a lot of heavy elements such as iron. Their existence has nothing to do with whether there is civilization.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for any civilization that can cross galaxies to wage wars for resources and energy.Because this is equivalent to hacking someone to death in order to take the soil from their yard.

Dirt is everywhere, why do you have to use someone else's house?Also killed people for this?
Therefore, all direct contact wars such as occupation and aggression will not happen when the technological gap is too large.

This will instead increase the cost of the war, and even accidentally let the opponent's technology explode.

If I really feel threatened, I will destroy the whole body, and do everything cleanly. All communication between them is only bad.

"What if it can't be crushed and destroyed directly?" Bai Ge said.

"Then leave first. Unless the two civilizations are too close, or the other party has the ability to easily cross the galaxy, or there are more reasons, it is possible to launch a more costly war, otherwise the advanced civilization must prefer not to develop this galaxy first, and turn to Throwing to other galaxies with countless universes." Bell said.

At this moment, in Baige's mind, he constructed a picture of various high-level civilizations moving silently around the universe.

Because of the cost of war, higher civilizations will not wage wars with lower civilizations for even a little longer. If they want to fight, they must be non-contact wars.

If you can't eliminate it immediately, or if you have good intentions, just ignore it and enclose the land further away.

Until encountering more and more other advanced civilizations and finding out the sphere of influence of civilizations that pose a great threat, the real boundaries will be delineated tacitly.

And several low-level civilizations discovered halfway will be ignored in the process, just like primitive tribes living in the Amazon jungle, they may suddenly know: what?We've been living in a country called Brazil?

As for the low civilizations trapped in, if necessary, they will be destroyed, and how long they can live is purely luck.

A lot depends on how stupid this low-level civilization is. If it is so stupid that it will destroy itself on the parent star, then they will never know 'we are not alone' until they die.

"Is this the explanation of Fermi's paradox?" Bai Ge said.

The bell said: "Yes, judging from the fact that there is civilization at such a short distance from us, the birth of civilization is not harsh. The Milky Way may be crowded. It seems to be a city, with many small houses or mansions standing in forests, and we are Like ants living in the homes of advanced civilizations, the earth is an ant nest."

The Fermi paradox is a problem that has always troubled the people on earth. In high probability, there are civilizations in the universe that are superior to the earth's technology. Even if they are only a few million years ahead of the birth of civilizations, with the development of science and technology, the earth should be able to be discovered by now. But why can't the earth find any traces of other civilizations at all?Why is the universe so silent, and has not received any meaningful communication until now?
Regarding the Great Silence, after using the containment to discover the gravitational waves of the mysterious civilization, Baige knew about it.

The reason is simple, humans are both blind and deaf.

It's not that there's nothing, it's that you can't see it, you can't hear it.Electromagnetic waves are too easily disturbed by nature, and it is difficult to propagate farther, and they will attenuate within a short distance.

Even with Baige's current technology, it hasn't gotten rid of the field of electromagnetic waves in communication, let alone the earth.

The speed of light spaceship does not exist, even if it exists, it is microcosmic. There is no macroscopic matter moving at the speed of light in the universe, so it is basically impossible to see the navigation clues of other civilizations.

And the universe is so big, many huge things are reduced to an extent smaller than a single pixel.

What happens in other places, the earth has no idea at all.Even if there is a war between two advanced civilizations, the earth is still ignorant.

So neither see nor hear.

In the case of being unable to actively see and hear, higher civilizations will ignore lower civilizations, so they cannot be passively contacted.

The earth is clearly a poisonous anthill of deaf and blind little ones, weak and small to be tolerated, but only by well-meaning homeowners.But once it starts to expand, it will be wiped out immediately.

The progress of civilization, in this case, has instead become a countdown to destruction.As the times progress, either commit suicide or be killed.

There is a past, there is a present, but there is no future.

This is the tragic situation of all non-primary civilizations.

The reason why there is such a cruel fate is that the 'birth' of civilization is a bit late...

"In other words, the earth may have been enclosed in the sphere of influence of a certain advanced civilization... and the timing of the enclosure may have been before modern times?" Bai Ge said.

"I just confirmed it from the Flying Noodle God, so it's like this." Bell said.

Bai Ge was startled at first, leaving aside the earth, the [-] warships that have been scattered are likely to be finished by now.

But then he felt something was wrong. Since the earth is already in a certain advanced civilization circle, now he and many warships have slipped out of the solar system, why hasn't there been a big purge yet?
It stands to reason that the purge should have come as early as the first spaceship was built.

Bell said: "Because our advanced civilization is about to be destroyed by the civilization six thousand light years away, and the cause of the war is to retaliate against our attack..."

"Uh..." Bai Ge was taken aback for a moment, and then he was speechless.

It is true that wars may occur between advanced civilizations, but the probability is actually very low.

The closer the technology of the two civilizations is, the more difficult it is to judge whether it is one's own advantage or the opponent's advantage. Even if it is one's own advantage, it is likely to become the opponent's advantage due to technological explosions during the war...

It's still the same point, civilizations either ignore it, or go to war, and if they want to fight, they will do it until one side is completely wiped out.

Under such circumstances, the vast majority of civilizations will tacitly exercise restraint and engage in a cold war.

No one wants to easily provoke a war.

Very few advanced civilizations prematurely launch a war that may not necessarily win, but will definitely divide life and death.

Of course, if someone fired the first shot, war would still break out.

For example, a certain advanced civilization threw a pile of garbage towards another advanced civilization...

Obviously, in the four months after the earth's contents were thrown away six thousand light-years away, the reason why the mysterious civilization did not immediately take revenge and destroy the earth was an important factor, perhaps because there were "people above" the earth.

The high-level civilizations in the universe are like huts, while the low-level civilizations are just ant nests in the huts.

Under this arrangement, it is impossible for the civilization of another hut to surpass the higher civilization and launch a large-scale destructive attack in this area. The two areas will fight first.

And as long as one hit, life and death will be scored.

The earth has suddenly developed to be capable of interstellar travel, which is what happened in the past few months. In the past few months, the advanced civilizations in the area where the earth is located are engaged in a war of survival. Naturally, they are not in a hurry to clean up the earth, especially now that the other side is also In case a cleanup attack has been launched.

"Tsk tsk, what exactly did that pile of rubbish cause? It actually led to an all-out war between two huge civilizations... Bell, in any case, if there is any attack that is going to happen after three months, please notify me immediately."

"Yes." Bell said.

"We should go," Bai Ge said.

I didn't get any benefits from contacting the mercury civilization. Instead, I almost got into trouble with some technologies of the silver civilization. The earth does not have it, but the reason why it doesn't is because of the difference in the living environment.

Basically, it can't be used, and people on earth can't use it, or the technology of bells is more suitable for people on earth.

For example, a certain kind of hibernation technology is different from the hibernation in the concept of the earth. Instead, the brain is dissolved, dissolved in mercury, and extracted and reassembled after a few years...

This kind of technology that matches the talent of the race is not available to the people on earth, unless the pure black stone tablet is used to first turn humans into mercury people.

And so on, with the technological advantage, Bai Ge got nothing.

However, the bell said: "Wait a minute, Master, the Mercury people just sent a message...they hope to become our vassal state."

If it was before, he might have thought about it, but now Bai Ge doesn't even want this vassal.

"What's the use? Are you really planning to let their technology explode?" Bai Ge said, he can only think of the value of this point. If this civilization also explodes technologically, then it is still somewhat useful.

Bell said: "Anyway, I am immune to cultural invasion, so I can leave my avatar here and teach them to improve."

"Let me become the great devil who oppresses the awakening of civilization, and I can quickly figure out a way to artificially trigger the technological explosion."
