Frost Wings

When Bai Long woke up again, he found that the progress bar in the tattoo was full. Under a strange pulling force, he knew that as long as he wanted to go, he could leave this world at any time.

Bai He is really unwilling to just leave like this, he hasn't gotten any benefit yet!

The Three-Body Problem is undoubtedly very dangerous. Since entering this world, Bai He's life has never been under his control.

Although playing with the three-body man is very happy, Bai He has a very clear understanding of this point.

However, he didn't get too nervous. There are powerful ways of living, and there are weak ways of living.

As a highly intelligent race, the Trisolaran has the pride of a highly intelligent race. They rarely do meaningless things because of their emotions. Even Yun Tianming, a bright earth spy, can be treated well. Baihe believes that as long as the Trisolaran is not killed He would reap huge benefits' idea that his life would be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Even more so after he revealed his wisdom.

Being able to survive in this high-risk world is a feat, but leaving like this is like doing a mission in the game and not getting the reward, which makes Bai He very uncomfortable.

Bai He turned on the holographic screen in a bored manner, and was immediately stunned. The upper half of the screen was a scene of space—it seemed to be some distance away from the Trisolaran Galaxy at this moment, and only three bright spots of light could be seen, while the other half of the screen was To Bai He's astonishment, this group of three-body people in the central array actually played a computer game. The more Bai He looked at it, the more familiar it became.

This is…

"You seem surprised, and I was also surprised when I first discovered it." The robot that was collecting dragon blood next to Baihe said, "I didn't expect these dregs of earth culture collected by our cultural collection department to actually be able to attract people. my countrymen."

"This tone... are you... an ecologist?"

Bai He asked speculatively.

"Yes, I am." The robot nodded and made a rattling sound.

"It looks like you are all busy." Bai He was deeply speechless when he watched the fierce battle on the holographic screen.

"The Trisolaran has never been so idle. Now everything has changed. Maybe you should visit our VR space."

"I can't ask for it." Bai He was also very curious about what kind of tricks these three-body people who had transformed into forms played.

The holographic screen changed rapidly, and soon a honeycomb-like structure divided into hundreds of spaces appeared in front of Baihe. The complicated and huge data like the ocean scrolled rapidly, and the screen was gradually refreshed. A small city that seemed to float in the air appears in the center of the screen.

"It's amazing, can this really replace the physical life?"

"There is no problem at all, or in other words, there is no major problem. The work of the work, the research of the research, the leisure...you can do whatever you want."

"Doesn't everyone need to work? For example, do some scientific research together?"

"There is not that much energy. According to the energy supply capacity of the spacecraft, we can only accommodate up to ten intelligent individuals to improve their thinking ability to the sophon level. Others must limit their thinking ability to below the biological level." The ecologist said : "Even so, the research workload of our ten Trisolarans in the past 30 days has exceeded the sum of the past 100 years. As long as we find a suitable planetary construction base, we can immediately build a few more advanced than Trisolarans. generations of civilization."

"So exaggerated?"

"Imagine when your brain's computing frequency increases from 1 kHz to 1 billion hertz, and your memory expands from 100 terabytes to 100 million terabytes, and you don't have to consider the negative effects of the memory mechanism of 'forgetting' at all …”

The ecologist sighed: "It was the first time I experienced this feeling, and I almost thought I had become a god. Now I kind of understand the madman who started the civil war."

"It's a leap of species, it seems to have changed from Earth monkeys to Earth people." He seemed a little dazed: "In the past month, almost all the concepts of our more than a thousand three-body people have been destroyed and recreated. At one time, the topic we debated the most was, is the confrontation between civilizations based on the dark forest as the theoretical basis absolutely tenable?"

"Is not it?"

"Now we have a new idea."

"Oh?"

"For example: one of the roots of conquests among civilizations is often a 'strife' mentality, the core of which is probably that 'they' can never become 'us', and the losers can only be genocide or become slaves. For example , When the white people of the earth in the colonial era had the idea of ​​​​seeing black people as homogeneous when facing black people?"

"Maybe some people have it, but in general...probably not." Bai He recalled the **** colonial history: "But in the era of civilization, although discrimination still exists, it has generally progressed."

"Yes, in the era of civilization, we have recognized each other's identity as 'human', and we will show mercy in war. After all, biologically both blacks and whites belong to the category of human beings, and theoretically they can be unified; but if the people of the earth face What about an alien with completely different physiological characteristics like a bug? If the two sides go to war because of resource difficulties, is it possible to end the war because of unification?”

"It's possible, after all, the two sides can have rational contact..." Baihe recalled some capitalist cultures he had come into contact with, such as "XX Game" and "XX Effect", which promoted the positive energy that such civilizations should understand each other. , Could it be that after these three-body people were transformed by him, their values ​​began to move closer to capitalist foreigners?

"What about when resources are scarce?"

Bai He thought for a while, then shook his head: "Probably not. When it comes to resource issues, people of the same race will kill each other, not to mention aliens?"

"But are they really aliens?" The three-body man changed the conversation.

"What new opinion do you have?" Bai He frowned slightly, feeling a little strange. It was obvious that all the different races in life forms could be regarded as the same race. This kind of thinking is too fraternity.

"If intelligent civilizations generally develop to the form of disembodied, what is the difference between all civilizations? Unfamiliar civilizations in the universe are just the same kind of existences that have not yet understood each other. This kind of civilization war under the dark forest system, What's the difference between white people killing Indians in the history of the earth?"

"This..." Bai He was stunned.

"Of course, in the eyes of those civilizations that insist on natural reproduction, this kind of idea must be quite stupid, but the association has decided that establishing a church to convey such reconciliation ideas to the entire universe may have limited results, but it will definitely find like-minded people. Civilized."

"There is some truth to it." Bai He nodded and frowned slightly: "However, this conclusion is obviously based on your association's own inferences, and it is not enough to completely overturn the laws of the dark forest. I still have a question, if the laws of the dark forest are based on If it doesn’t work, how did its phenomenon come about, and why can’t civilizations see each other?”

"Let's assume that if our technology improves a little bit, we can probably compress the information body to the particle size, accelerate it with an accelerator to a high sublight speed and fly to the earth, where it will land on the earth mixed with cosmic dust and rain. .

We can use molecular technology to build a base that can eject high-energy particles from microscopic to macroscopic. This time may be very long, and it may even be calculated in units of thousands of years, but time is meaningless to us. places, hidden with technology, and even built in outer space.

We can also use control pheromones to get animals or humans to do things for us, catalyzing civilization to the extent we want, and neither humans nor animals know anything about it. Human-built instruments are like It's as easy as manipulating a toy, humans can't see me, and humans can't notice when I'm gone.

All of this is not difficult to do, so it may not be that no advanced intelligent civilization has contacted you, but you really cannot see it, and after listening to these possibilities, you will still be absolutely certain that human civilization is the result of natural evolution ? "

The three-body man said something that left Bai He dumbfounded.

…

"If my comprehension is fine, the kind of thing you're talking about seems to be..." Bai He stared at the robot at his feet and said, "God."

"Maybe." The Trisolaran sighed again: "Now even our own historians are not sure that the Trisolaran is the result of natural evolution. We have simulated and calculated 12 times this month, and the conclusions we have reached are all It's one - the probability of naturally producing life in a three-body galaxy is close to zero!"

"This…"

"And the most important point, your existence."

"I?"

"That's right, it's you. I've been studying your body composition for so long, and I almost drove the physicists and chemists on board crazy. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

"...This should be in the biological category."

"No, it's because there are too many things in your body that do not conform to physical chemistry." The biologist's tone was distressed: "I don't find it strange how the appearance of your creature evolved. After all, the environment of the universe is diverse and evolutionary. It's not surprising that there are strange animals, but what's the matter with so many strange substances in your body? Blood, spinal cord, including your tissue fluid and cellular fluid, are all filled with unanalyzable, unmeasurable physical and chemical properties, and cannot be defined as dark matter stuff, which makes physicists almost think the entire universe is collapsing."

"This is a magical substance from another world. He doesn't know it's normal." Bai He naturally knew that he was unscientific and comforted.

"For scientists, this kind of ignorance is inappropriate, and these things in you are incompatible with this world. How do they exist in this world without a material basis?" The biologist entered The line: "The only mechanism we have observed is that it is produced in cells everywhere in your body, but it is completely impossible to observe what organelle produces it. Science is completely meaningless in front of these things."

"The previous question..." Bai Long was silent for a while and waited for the biologist to finish: "Do you believe that in the upper part of the universe, there is a hand that controls everything, even teases the rules, and we are all his playthings?"

"...Interesting idea, before I met you, I would have thought it was crazy.

But now I have some beliefs, although I can't prove it. "

"No, there is a way to prove it." Bai Long looked at the three-body man, and his heart suddenly moved: "I will return to that world soon, if you want to continue to study these unscientific things, why don't you come and see it with me? ?"
