Chapter 129
Kong Bai heard Xiaobai's answer, and he felt like he was cracking!
"So it is!"
"So the earth is so fragile?"
When Kong Bai was studying continuous controllable nuclear fusion facilities, he also studied some principles of stellar nuclear fusion, and once learned some knowledge about "gamma-ray bursts" by the way.
Compared with the macroscale of the universe, human beings and even the earth have existed for too short a time. And it is this temporary silence and tranquility of the earth that makes human beings have a false sense of security, and it is easy to misunderstand that the earth is safe and the universe is calm.
In fact, for life on earth and for human beings, the universe is full of dangers, and any kind of cosmic danger may cause devastating blows to life and human beings.
In the past, humans thought that asteroid impacts were very dangerous, but in fact, this may be the least significant danger in the universe!
Some cosmic hazards are not only unpredictable, but also completely incomparable to asteroids, such as gamma-ray bursts.
What exactly is a gamma-ray burst?
Essentially, gamma-ray bursts are actually ultra-high-energy electromagnetic waves.
Simply put, every star at the end of its life, when it collapses into a neutron star or even a black hole, has a great possibility of bursting gamma-ray bursts!
Not to mention the collision between highly dense celestial bodies, it must be a gamma-ray burst!
So how many stars are in the Milky Way?
The answer is 300 billion to 500 billion!
In other words, this is 300 billion to 500 billion time bombs!
What's more, it is not known how many high-density neutron stars and black holes there are!
So, as a high-energy electromagnetic wave, how powerful is gamma-ray burst?
Let's just say that if a gamma-ray burst hits the earth at close range, then not only life on the earth will be destroyed, but even the earth itself will completely disappear without a trace!
The attack distance of gamma-ray bursts, depending on the time, mass and energy carried by their ejection, varies from a few light years to half a universe, and everywhere they go is unstoppable!
Such a powerful impact, not only the current human beings have no ability to resist, but even in the future, human beings also have no way to resist the attack of gamma ray bursts.
The only way is to escape, at least some of the human races, become cosmic humans!
When I saw the information about gamma ray bursts, I deliberately ignored it, like an ostrich digging its head into the sand!
However, now, his head was ruthlessly pulled out of the sand by Xiaobai!
Kong Bai had a feeling of despair spreading all over his body, and he muttered unreluctantly:
"I used to think that the Trisolaran attack was the biggest threat to Earth civilization, I was too naïve!"
"It turns out that the real danger comes from the universe itself!"
Yes, why did an alien advanced intelligent civilization come to occupy the earth?
Are you looking for a place to die? Or is it another way to find death?
Or did you come to Earth to rob those so-called "resources" that are everywhere in the universe?
Xiao Bai continued to answer ruthlessly:
"Therefore, the greatest wealth in the universe is intelligent life itself!"
"Of course, there will also be some other intelligent civilizations that have initially entered the universe, and will launch acts of war against other civilizations, even massacres!"
"We are not against war between cosmic civilizations, because war itself can promote the development of civilization!"
"But if one civilization dares to exterminate the entire civilization of another!"
"Then, what awaits this civilization is only extinction!"
"For this irrational behavior that destroys the foundation of wealth, the two factions have the same view, that is, to erase it!"
Kong Bai agrees with Xiaobai's point of view, it is indeed like this!
The time for the existence and development of human beings on earth is too short, and they have not really realized the great horror of the universe!
Always like those peasants at the foot of the mountain who have never left their homes, guarding their broken houses, thinking that this is the most precious treasure in the world, do you not know that a small flash flood can destroy his wealth, let alone someone to rob it!
Only his villagers and those who are poorer than him will rob him!
Kong Bai thought deeply, only feeling that the road ahead was bleak, where was the light of mankind?
"Xiaobai, how did other advanced intelligent civilizations survive?"
"Are they hostile to other intelligent civilizations? Hostility like the Law of the Dark Forest?
"And what is their goal of survival?"
Xiao Bai replied:
"Every advanced intelligent civilization has its trajectory of survival and development!"
"First of all, they are lucky enough to survive under the cruel stranglehold of the universe!"
"Secondly, they quickly realized the truth of the universe and adopted a strategy of decentralized development very early!"
"Third, they are constantly changing themselves to adapt to the living environment of cosmic civilization!"
"These are the common denominators they have survived."
"Your second question, the answer is obvious, everyone is a survivor under the cruel baptism of the universe!"
"In the vast universe, it is wiser to walk hand in hand than to kill each other meaninglessly!"
"Because there really is no material wealth to fight for and plunder!"
"Because the most valuable wealth in the universe is knowledge, information and the ability to constantly explore the unknown!"
"And intelligent civilization itself is the foundation for generating this wealth!"
"The universe is already hostile to intelligent civilization enough, there is no need to kill each other!"
"As for the law of the dark forest, it is half right, there are indeed people who are constantly shooting, destroying countless civilizations!"
"However, the person who shot is just the universe itself!"
"The first goal of intelligent civilization is survival!"
"Surviving is the first priority of intelligent civilization!"
"Then there is the need to establish contact with other civilizations, exchange knowledge, information and ideas, and even reach some kind of cooperation to explore the unknown universe together!"
"Therefore, the common goal of intelligent civilization is survival and exploration!"
Kong Bai seems to understand a little, but combined with Maslow's hierarchy of needs, he has some understanding!
If you treat a certain intelligent civilization as a whole, survival and security are indeed the most basic needs, then social needs, and then mutual respect and self-realization!
Kong Bai had a new question and asked
, "Xiaobai, but since this is the case, why have the human beings on the earth never received the help of the advanced intelligent civilization in the universe?"
Xiao Bai replied:
"Host, how do you know that the human beings on Earth have not been helped?"
"Don't you think that humans themselves are very strange earth creatures?"
Kong Bai thought for a while, and asked loudly in surprise:
"Xiaobai, what do you mean?"
