Chapter 115

Elaine, a thrilling spirit, retreats behind Hawking.

Hawking seems very calm, after a short period of inaction, he instantly accepted the statement that Huang Ji is not a human being.

looks as like as two peas.

In this regard, Hawkins has no fear at all, some are more excited and curious.

"Who are you, then? China. " Hawking's electronic voice said.

"I'm just a fan of primitive civilization." Huang Ji seems to be stating a fact.

“……” Hawking was silent.

He has a lot to say, but his body limits the speed of his language output.

Just when he was anxious, what he wanted to say was directly displayed on the computer and played through the synthesizer.

Synthesizer said: "I have considered the existence of aliens, and even deduced many times. After all, my major research is cosmology..."

"Why? Oh, oh Ha ha ha ABCD…… What have you done? Hua? "

As soon as Hawking wanted to say something, he immediately appeared on the wheelchair's personal computer, with a delay of less than a second.

"A little bit of technology," Huang said

He just used the Buddha bone finger to transmit Hawking's words to the computer. Of course, in Hawking's view, he thought it was man-machine docking technology.

Such technology is also available on earth, but it is very immature and needs to be connected with a large number of neural sensors. Huang Ji seems to have done nothing to make the human-computer docking technology silent.

Hawking immediately said, "of all the aliens I've ever imagined, you're the most incredible. Fans of primitive civilization To be honest, I never thought about it. "

Huang Ji said without hesitation: "so what would your idea of interstellar civilization look like?"

"In my opinion, human contact with extraterrestrial civilization is bound to bear a tragic price," Hawking said

"This is the inevitability brought about by the great disparity of power. If the extraterrestrial civilization discovers human beings, then human beings will face great despair. Even if the aliens do not choose to destroy human beings, human beings are just like a plaything."

"Even one act of interest from aliens will bring unbearable consequences to human beings."

"To be destroyed or enslaved is very likely, and assimilation is the best result. The so-called common development in the film is totally unrealistic That's opera. "

"The discovery of earthlings by interstellar civilization is just like the discovery of America by the Spaniards. They have brought a devastating blow to the local people. War, pestilence, plunder and famine filled the continent for hundreds of years, until the three major American civilizations disappeared... "

Huang Ji said, "you are right in the general direction, but you are too radical."

"Yes, I have overlooked an important issue. Human beings may also encounter individuals of interstellar civilization. Individual behavior cannot be evaluated by the collective interests of civilization." Hawking said.

Hawking always deduces from the perspective of a whole civilization when he conceives the prospect of the encounter between the universal civilizations.

But when Huang Ji said, "I'm a fan of primitive civilization," Hawking realized!

He thought a lot in a short time, and realized that there are many kinds of contact with extraterrestrial civilization, which is much more complicated than he imagined!

For example, if you meet a maverick, he can be very friendly indeed.

"It is not appropriate to use the European colonists' conquest of America to compare the relationship between the interstellar civilization and the earth," Huang Ji said

This metaphor is so famous that many people think that the earth discovered by aliens will be as miserable as America, which was discovered by Spanish people.

But in fact, this metaphor is playing rogue.

"What's wrong with the metaphor?" Hawking asked

Huang Ji said, "Spain conquered it for gold and for its abundant resources. What do you think the earth has?"

What he said immediately pointed out the most rogue part of the metaphor.

Colonists for resources, aliens for what? Also for gold? It's impossible. Most of the gold in the universe is the civilization that can cross the interstellar space, and there are barren planets that can dig for gold.

Any mineral resources on the earth are not scarce in the universe. Take the solar system as an example. In fact, it is not Mars or Venus that is more suitable for mineral collection than the earth, but the asteroid belt

Hawking said: "life on earth is the most precious thing. The value of other materials is not much higher than that of stones."

"Man Human beings themselves are the most valuable existence on earth. "

"I admit that this metaphor is not appropriate, but it does not prevent the destruction and disaster of interstellar civilization. If we indulge in the progress of human beings, they will be threatened. "

"The closest analogy to the truth is the aboriginal tribes in the Amazon jungle that are still in a very primitive stage," Huang said

"You study them, observe them, contact them occasionally, and hope that one day they can walk out of the jungle, get an ID card and integrate into modern society...""But never want to destroy them, do they? Maybe some people want to enslave them, but the mainstream morality does not allow it, nor does the law. "

"More importantly, does anyone think that the primitive aborigines of the Amazon will pose a threat to the countries in South America?"

Hawking was stunned as if he was still. He was silent for a long time, thinking about Huang Ji's words.

After a while, he said, "the primitive tribes of the Amazon are also human beings, so we don't want to hurt them. Compared with the interstellar civilization, the two races have a great gap in thinking. How can we integrate into their society when we develop? "

Huang Ji said with a smile: "each civilization has its own unique society, and in the geographical constraints such as the galaxy, the combination of several internal civilizations is a larger society. They are relatively independent and United. They occasionally fight, but they have the collective empathy of wisdom and civilization. "

"It's far more complicated than human society, but you should be able to see its shadow from human society."

"If the earth civilization, stepping into the interstellar space, but can not integrate into this society, then it is the earth people who can not bear the social pressure first, rather than other mature civilizations."

Hawking's brain thinks like a storm. There are strong countries and weak countries in the earth's society, with different beliefs, systems and cultures. They restrict each other and develop together, suppress and support each other, attack and love each other, but they constitute a very complex society.

In Huang Ji's words, it seems that the same is true between the interstellar civilizations.

Hawking said: "on earth, if a primitive tribe goes out of the jungle, it will eventually be accepted by modern society, because they will strive to integrate into society, work, study and create value! Maybe one of the aborigines in the past has optimized their culture and become a best-selling writer. Maybe a native in the past, inspired by his music, became a popular singer Maybe a native of the past, or a descendant of an aborigine, has a unique and strange mind. He has made some inventions in the future, which will contribute to the progress of society. "

"If the aborigines threaten the society and feel unable to integrate into the society and buy a gun to rob, they will not be recognized by the society and will eventually be shot by the police."

"Those who can't adapt to the society will perish themselves, not the society..."

Huang Ji smiles, which is also his latest night observation of the stars, repeated learning, and finally realized.

Hawking was quick to catch up with him.

And insight into a very critical element in the picture of cosmic civilization, interest.

There must be contradictions between civilizations, but there are even more contradictions within civilizations, and contradictions are everywhere.

There may be an absolute unity of thought in the universe, but it is certainly a minority.

So far, human beings have never really united to achieve one thing, because the interests are not unified enough.

The only passive result is the formation of a complex and pluralistic society.

Even if extinction is imminent, there are a lot of different voices within civilization

There will even be people driven by selfish interests to play down the crisis: "ah, it doesn't matter. Everything is fine, but if there is a small problem, it will pass soon.". "Ah! Maybe we have a better way to solve this problem. "

As long as there are multiple interstellar civilizations in the same era in the galaxy, and communication can be realized through technology, a larger society will eventually be formed, because war is far less valuable than communication.

Even the Spanish colonists, whose original idea was to seek a new trade route, met with the Inca emperors, who could not speak any language, but still completed the transaction. As a result, smallpox was accidentally passed on, killing tens of millions of people, and then determined to conquer it, because the cost of war was greatly reduced.

In the first contact between the two civilizations, the other party started first. At most, one spaceship was lost. It is impossible for the whole civilization to move the planet to meet others?

After losing a part of the profits, we also understand that the other side is a fierce and belligerent civilization. There is nothing to say. Let's fight.

On the other hand, when the spaceship comes back safely and brings back information from a strange civilization, the two sides establish a basic understanding: "Oh, at least he is not a belligerent civilization. Could he be lying to me? Oh, cheat. I only saw his action. "

War is the last resort. The United States took the lead in inventing nuclear weapons and did not dare to fight the Soviet Union. On the one hand, it was for the sake of economy. On the other hand, the United States did not know whether the Soviet Union would also develop such terrible weapons. So choose a softer way to isolate it, influence it, and finally fission it.

Among strange civilizations, the one who dares to shoot first must be the weakest one

Huang Ji said, "it seems that you understand, Professor Hawking."

"Social integrators are just a cog, and society will never fear a cog."

"If you can't fit in, it's you, not us. Restrict the new members of a society, legal, economic, technological repression, cultural exchange, public order There are too many things that can constrain a weak civilization. The value of intelligent creatures lies in living. Only living intelligent creatures can create wealth, and any group can only adapt to society. ""Destruction and war, which are brutal and brutal practices, are the means that an incompetent society can choose."
