Chapter 276 Great silence

"Master, this may be one of the reasons why higher civilizations do not come into contact with lower civilizations." said Ling.

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

"This is just one of the reasons, it also needs to be coordinated with the technological explosion and the cost of war," said Lingling.

The encounter between two civilizations is often a drastic change like a chemical reaction.

When high-level civilizations discover low-level civilizations, there will be a great silence effect, and high-level civilizations have only two choices.

Either keep ignoring or directly destroying the other party.

Because communication is meaningless, first of all, the other party is unprofitable, and backward technology is like a joke to higher civilizations.

Higher civilizations will not help the other party’s technical explosion, because once the technology explodes to the point where it is useful to them, it also means that the other party poses a huge threat.

In these cases, it is obviously a mentally retarded behavior to communicate with the consequences of cultural integration, because it does not benefit any other than bringing uncontrollable risks to its own civilization.

Because communication has no benefits but disadvantages, ignoring it is the greatest kindness.

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

When basic physics reaches a certain level, rare earth resources such as minerals will become more meaningless.

Hydrogen, helium, carbon is a matter that any galaxy has, and there are many heavy elements such as iron. Their existence has nothing to do with whether there is a civilization or not.

Therefore, any civilization that can cross galaxies is absolutely impossible to start a war for resources and energy. Because this is equivalent to killing others to take the soil in other people's yards.

The soil is everywhere, why do you have to do other people's family? And you have destroyed them for this?

Therefore, all direct contact wars such as occupation and aggression will not happen if the technological gap is too large.

This will increase the cost of war and may even accidentally cause the other party's technology to explode.

If you really feel threatened, you will be destroyed as a whole and be clean and tidy. All communication between them will only have the disadvantages.

"What if it cannot be destroyed directly in a crushing manner?" Bai Ge said.

"Then let's leave first. Unless the two civilizations are too close, or the other party has the ability to easily cross the galaxy, or for more reasons, they can launch a more expensive war. Otherwise, higher civilizations would rather not develop this galaxy first and instead turn to other galaxies that are countless in the universe." said Ling.

At this moment, Bai Ge built a picture of various advanced civilizations moving silently in the universe.

Because of the cost of war, higher civilizations will not engage in wars with lower civilizations for a longer period of time. If they want to fight, they will definitely be non-contact wars.

If you cannot be eliminated immediately, or if you have kindness, you will ignore it first and encircle the land further away.

It is not until we encounter more and more other higher civilizations and find out the distribution of the sphere of influence of civilizations that are extremely threatening, we will tacitly divide the real boundaries.

And several lower civilizations discovered midway through will be ignored in this process, just like primitive tribes living in the Amazon jungle. They may suddenly know very late: What? We have always lived in a country called Brazil?

As for the lower civilizations that are encircled, they will be destroyed if necessary, and how long they can live is purely based on luck.

It depends a lot on how stupid this low civilization is. If it is so stupid that it will self-destruct on the mother planet, then they will not know until they die that 'It turns out that we are not lonely'.

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

The bell said: "Yes, from the perspective of civilization at such a close distance, the birth of civilization is not harsh. The Milky Way may be crowded. It seems to be a city with many small houses or buildings. We are like ants living in the homes of higher civilizations, and the earth is an ant cave."

The Fermi paradox is a problem that has always troubled the earth's people. Most likely, there are civilizations in the universe that are higher than Earth's technology. Even if they are only millions of years ahead of the civilization born, with the development of science and technology, the earth should be discovered now. But why can't the earth find traces of other civilizations at all? Why is the universe silent and can't receive any meaningful communication yet?

Regarding Da Jing, Bai Ge knew about it after using the containment to discover the gravitational waves of the mysterious civilization.

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

It’s not that there is nothing, but that it cannot be seen or heard. Electromagnetic waves are too easily disturbed by nature and are difficult to spread further, and will attenuate within a very short distance.

Even with Bai Ge's current technology, he has not escaped from the field of electromagnetic waves in communication, let alone the earth.

Light-speed spacecraft does not exist, even if it exists, it is microscopic. The universe has no macroscopic matter at all, so it is basically impossible to see other civilizations' navigation clues.

The universe is so big that it has made many huge things smaller than a pixel point.

The earth knows nothing about what happens elsewhere. Even if there are two wars of higher civilizations, the earth is ignorant.

So you can't see or hear.

When it is impossible to see or hear actively, higher civilizations will ignore lower civilizations, so they cannot passively contact them.

The earth is obviously a poisonous little deaf and blind ant hole. Weak and fashionable people can be tolerated, which is a situation where a kind-hearted homeowner can only occur. But once it starts to expand, it will be destroyed immediately.

The progress of civilization, in this case, has become a countdown to destruction. With the progress of the times, they either commit suicide or are killed.

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

This is the tragic situation of all non-first generation civilizations.

The reason for such a cruel fate is that civilization is just a little late...

"In other words, the earth may have been encircled into the sphere of influence of a higher civilization... and the timing of encirclement may have been before modern times?" Bai Ge said.

"I just confirmed from the Feitian Noodle God, that's it." Lingling said.

Bai Ge was startled first. Not to mention the earth, the four thousand warships scattered out may be finished now.

But then I felt something was wrong. Since the earth was already in a certain circle of higher civilizations, he and many warships have slipped out of the solar system, why hasn't the great purge yet?

Logically speaking, the Great Cleanup should have come as early as the first spacecraft was built.

Lingling said: "Because our high civilization will 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 stunned, then speechless.

Wars may indeed occur between higher civilizations, but the probability is actually very low.

The closer the two civilized technologies are, the more difficult it is to judge whether it is our own advantage or the other party's advantage. Even if it is our own advantage, it is likely that the other party's advantage will become the other party's advantage due to the technological explosion during the war...

It’s still the same point, civilizations either ignore or fight, and they will do nothing until one side is completely eliminated.

Under such circumstances, most civilizations will tacitly maintain restraint and engage in the Cold War.

No one is willing to provoke a war easily.

Few higher civilizations immaturely launch a war that may not necessarily win, but will definitely divide life and death.

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

For example, a higher civilization threw a pile of garbage at another higher civilization...

Obviously, in the four months after the earth's containment was thrown into garbage and was 6,000 light-years away, there was an important factor that the mysterious civilization did not immediately take revenge to destroy the earth, perhaps it was that there was someone on the earth.

The higher civilizations of the universe are like small houses, while the lower civilizations are just ant holes in the small houses.

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

And just one fight, life and death will be counted.

The earth suddenly developed to be able to travel interstellarly, which is the past few months. In the past few months, the higher civilizations in the area where the earth is located are engaged in a war of survival and death, so naturally they did not rush to clean up the earth, especially when the other party has launched a cleanup attack.

"Tsk tsk, what consequences did that pile of garbage cause? It actually caused two huge civilizations to engage in a full-scale war... Bell, in short, once there is a blow that will appear in three months, please notify me immediately."

"Yes." said the bell.

"It's time for us to leave." Bai Ge said.

When you come into contact with the mercury civilization, you won’t get any benefits. Instead, you almost get some of the technologies of the ********* silver civilization. The earth does not have them, but the reason is that they do not have them is because of the differences in the living environment.

Basically, it cannot be used, and it cannot be used by people on earth, or there are some bell technology that are more suitable for people on earth.

For example, a certain hibernation technology is different from hibernation in the concept of the earth. Instead, it dissipates the brain, dissolves it in mercury, and extracts it after several years and recombines it...

This technique that combines racial talent is not available to people on earth, unless the pure black stone tablet is used, they will first turn humans into mercury people.

Such things, Bai Ge is equivalent to getting nothing under the technical advantages.

However, the bell said: "Wait for the Lord, the Mercury People just sent a message... They hope to become our vassal state."

If it were before, he might have considered it, but now Bai Ge doesn't even want this vassal.

"What's the use? Is it really going to make their technology explode?" Bai Ge said. He could only think of this useful value. If this civilization also exploded technically, it would be useful.

Lingling said: "Anyway, I am immune to cultural invasion. I can leave my clone here and teach them how to make progress."

"If I become the great devil who oppresses civilization, I can quickly find a way to trigger a big explosion of technology by artificially triggering it."
