Chapter 707： Umbrella’s "sword-holding" method

"Is the Milky Way a special case?"

William repeated a whisper, his expression relaxed, and he asked Halsey again: "What about the number of level four civilizations?"

"The number of four levels of civilization is very small. If you use the Chinese sentence to metaphor, it is like a rare existence."

Halsey replied without thinking, and continued to explain to William:

"Because according to our human understanding, the civilization level can only be estimated to'three' at best, and there is no specific explanation for the fourth-level civilization until now.

But what I can know is that if you want to develop into this kind of civilization like a true god, it needs to exist at least during the cool-down period after the Big Bang. "

"The cooling-off period after the Big Bang..." William thought for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Catherine, do you mean that those civilizations existed in this world soon after the universe was born?"

"Yes." Halsey nodded lightly without denying, and said:

"We must know that there are so many civilizations, but the number that still exists is much smaller than the result calculated by our formula.

There is also a mechanism of civilization screening in the universe.

That is to say, this civilization was destroyed because of some major change before it could develop into interstellar colonization.

For example, natural disasters on asteroids, home planets, or civil wars in civilization.

Like us humans, if we didn't have a heading to dawn plan, or had not been invaded by the Reaper civilization, it is very likely to be self-destructive.

This probability is not absent, but very high, so it seems that the number of technological civilizations in our 20 years ago can reach infinite.

But we have reached the technology of our human elite alliance, which is already considered a rare existence in the universe. After all, the future galaxy will be our world.

The third-level civilizations like the pioneers and ancient humans are even rarer in number, let alone the fourth-level...or god-level civilizations like the pioneers.

And..." Halsey said this, and controlled her ultra-thin mobile phone again.

Then, a thumbnail of the universe appeared on the holographic screen, and one area of ​​it appeared unusually dark, without a trace of light.

At this time Halsey said: "Also, William, look at this picture. Those stars that emit different colors are actually galaxies the size of the Milky Way."

"The size of the galaxy?!" William was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to the completely dark area on the picture, and couldn't help but be astonished:

"This also means which regions are hundreds of times larger than galaxies?!"

"Yes." Halsey also looked at the completely dark area and said:

"Even if there is a black hole the size of the Milky Way, it is impossible to cause such darkness. We must know that we humans can photograph black holes through light.

At the same time, it is impossible for such a large area to be without any matter, which is unrealistic.

So after listening to your "Three-Body", I wondered...Is it possible for these areas to be caused by the super-interstellar wars between god-level civilizations.

For example, the two-way foil dimensionality reduction weapon you mentioned is most likely to have such an effect in a star area, which is why I want to meet that writer. "

"You mean..." Upon hearing this, William was stunned, and he squatted and said:

"In our world, do we also have dimensionality reduction weapons like the two-way foil?".

Halsey did not answer directly, but first locked the phone and turned off the holographic screen.

Then he shrugged and said indifferently: "Yes, but that area is about 6.5 billion light-years away from us, which means that it was 6.5 billion years old.

6.5 billion years is enough time for the god-level civilization to end the war, and enough for the victorious party to control the entire universe.

But now?

We are not still okay.

Moreover, the civilization that reaches that level is not something that we humans can guess. Morality and way of thinking are superior to us, the Sangheli, and even the forerunners.

They may have discovered that a war between two or more parties would lead to the premature destruction of the universe, thereby stopping this ancient and barbaric practice.

The law of the dark forest mentioned by the author of "Three-Body" applies to civilizations of level three and below, and may not apply to civilizations of **** level.

So don't worry too much about those neurological civilizations.

For example, the pioneer in our knowledge is the most similar, or the closest to the god-level civilization.

According to the description of the Gobekli Stone Circle, the Pioneer came to the Milky Way to spread life, "coming", indicating that the Pioneer also patronized other galaxies or nebulae before this.

It can be seen that after the super galaxy-level wars billions of years ago, all god-level civilizations tacitly dismissed the act of war, and instead went to various galaxies in the universe to create or support weak civilizations.

Like the detonation of a quantum bomb, it is enough to attract the attention of a god-level civilization. If you want to kill us, then we will be wiped out the moment the quantum bomb is detonated. "

"Hum...I hope the fourth-level or god-level civilization is really like you said."

After listening to the explanation given by Halsey, William finally got out of the shadow brought by the two-way foil.

The demise of himself and Umbrella is a trivial matter, but if it rises to the entire human race or the Milky Way, he has to worry.

Digested for a while.

"Haha." William finally showed a relieved smile, raised his hand to embrace Halsey's waist, and couldn't help sighing:

"With your magical lady, I think even if you encounter a god-level civilization, you should be able to resist it for a while."

"You look down on me too much," Halsey said, but there was still a proud smile on his face.

"That's right." But Halsey's smile was fleeting, and he pinched William's side waist lightly, and said with a little seriousness on his face:

"There is no need to worry about the god-level civilization but the third-level civilization is indispensable. Don't forget the war between the ancient humans and the forerunners.

And the sword-holders in "Three-Body", especially the Luo Ji you mentioned, impressed me deeply. They either live together or die together.

If we meet the third-level civilization in the alliance between humans and the elite before we control the entire galaxy, or in the next hundred years, we also need a weapon capable of shaking the third-level civilization. "

Halsey said this, raising his head to meet William's gaze, and then said with a slightly deep smile:

"My husband, you are trying your best to master the technology of the Ark, Aura, or Shield world. That's why."

"Of course." William said without denying:

"The pulse wave released by the halo matrix is ​​enough to make the entire galaxy'reset' in an instant, and everything returns to the initial stage.

If we encounter the attack of the third level civilization, then we have the bargaining chip to negotiate and even win.

This is why I must gain control of the Ark. "
