Are two-brained people of any use to humans
From a set of data, we can tell one or two things.
In terms of annual energy consumption alone, the energy consumed by double-brained people every year is only about one billionth of that of humans. The energy consumed by a warp warship while sailing is more than the entire civilization combined.
Not to mention the huge technological gap.
It would be no more difficult for humans to eliminate a two-brained civilization than to crush an ant.
The power gap between civilizations is often beyond imagination. In the idea of double-brain civilization, since humans have not destroyed them, they feel that they are useful. In fact, for human civilization, it is just the self-image positioning and positioning in the jungle of the universe. behavioral constraints.
In a famous science fiction novel, the Law of the Black Forest is specifically proposed. It tells that the universe is like a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun, stalking the forest like a ghost. He must be careful and hide himself. If you find other life, the first thing you do is to shoot and eliminate it, because you can't judge whether the other person is kind or malicious. The only thing you can do is to eliminate the danger in advance and save yourself.
But for civilizations like humans, the Black Forest Law does not apply. The universe is not dark. At least within the scope of human detection (within a diameter of 1,500 light years), all civilizations have nothing to hide. Unable to hide, information is transparent.
If the universe is compared to a map full of fog and darkness, humans already have the ability to dispel the fog in a small area.
But even the most arrogant lunatic, no one thinks that human beings are already standing on the top of the universe. This three-dimensional universe is so huge that even now, human beings have never set foot outside the Milky Way.
There are twelve extraterrestrial civilizations discovered within the human detection range alone that can break through their parent stars. According to scientists, the number of civilizations in the entire Milky Way galaxy, which is 100,000 light-years in diameter, may exceed a thousand. This is only the number of civilizations that can break through their parent stars. If the civilizations that have broken through the home star are added to those that have not yet broken through, the number may be multiplied by ten or even a hundred.
Moreover, the Milky Way is just an ordinary member of the Local Galaxy Cluster, and the Local Galaxy Cluster is a member of the Virgo Supercluster, and the Virgo Supercluster is only an insignificant part of the universe.
There are so many civilizations here. Among these civilizations, some are weaker than humans, and some are definitely stronger than humans.
You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are also watching you upstairs. While humans are observing other civilizations, humans are also being observed.
In this universe that follows the law of the jungle, a civilization that is cruel, evil, aggressive, and destroys races will often attract the attention and dislike of more powerful civilizations nearby. This is not because of universal values such as justice and kindness. But the existence of this kind of civilization often brings discomfort to other civilizations and increases their vigilance. Even if they are killed easily, no civilization will probably care.
For this reason, humans have been cautious over the years, only wandering around the nearby star fields. Not to mention the expeditions like the Bosnians, there has never been even basic exchanges with several nearby civilizations.
If it weren't for the fact that the Two-Brain Man and the Solar System were relatively close to each other and roughly in a straight line with the unknown civilization that was undergoing an arms race, making it the best geographical location for an advance base, humans would probably not pay attention to them at all.
… …
A few months later, a small unmanned reconnaissance warp spacecraft gradually approached this powerful civilization nearly 1,200 light years away from Earth after flying for nearly twenty years.
The opponent's reaction was extremely fast. Before it entered the five-light-year range, the small warp spacecraft was intercepted by a huge fleet.
After the human unmanned spacecraft fired a giant electromagnetic gun, it quickly self-destructed.
The hundreds of thousands of tons of antimatter arranged inside instantly annihilated each other with the unmanned spacecraft. After the explosion, the fleet searched the starry sky exhaustively, but except for a few pieces of metal debris and the electromagnetic gun, nothing was found. trace.
The electromagnetic gun is a metal ball with an empty interior, which is not dangerous. Inside is a half-meter-thick paper with language, graphic information and coded data for human quantum communication. As long as you have basic intelligence, you can use this This material, learn human language.
Once these things were discovered, they were immediately sent to the administrative star of this civilization for analysis. One day later, the two civilizations began their first exchange.
This civilization is called the Bayan Civilization. It has lasted for tens of thousands of years since the development of civilization broke through the mother star. It has a population of more than 100 billion, inhabited 12 planets, and its influence spreads across the five surrounding star systems. During these tens of thousands of years, He has always been the overlord of the nearby star field, and there is no civilization that can challenge it. Even the former Bo star is just an inconspicuous ant in its eyes.
Until mankind rises rapidly!
At the beginning, the Bayan civilization did not pay much attention to either Bo Xing or humans. In fact, civilizations with the strength of humans and Bo Xing could not attract his attention. Even if the two conquered each other, in the eyes of this civilization, It's like novices pecking each other, which doesn't arouse much interest at all. Even if one of the civilizations eventually falls, it will only be the death of an ant.
It wasn't until both of them developed curvature technology that one of the civilizations was destroyed, that it attracted a little attention.
Can develop curvature technology, even if the technology is only low-level, it has developed from a small ant to a large one, but it is limited to this. According to the law of civilization development, within thousands of years, this civilization will not be able to A threat to the Bayan civilization, thousands of years later, he has become even more powerful.
However, what the Bayan civilization did not expect was that the speed of human development was too fast, incredibly fast, and frighteningly fast. If the development speed of ordinary civilization is only gradual, then human beings are completely jumping.
When he paid attention again, this civilization was already threatening him.
No overlord will tolerate the challenge of a new overlord that is about to rise. After confirming the threat of mankind, the Bayan civilization began to prepare for war. On the one hand, it built large-scale warships, and on the other hand, it increased anti-matter reserves in preparation for war. .
After all, the distance between the two is 1,200 light years, which is quite a long distance for the Bayan civilization. The energy consumed by tens of thousands of warships on the expedition, even if Bayan already has three Dyson spheres, Civilization is also an astronomical figure.
Unfortunately, after only a few years of preparation, the Bayan civilization discovered through investigation that humans had also entered a state of armament.
This discovery greatly shocked the upper echelons of the Bayan civilization. They knew their own affairs. They could detect humans, but the detection distance could not reach such a distance. Hundreds of years ago, the Bayan civilization conducted surveys on the nearby starry sky. The "eye insertion" project uses hundreds of space wave detectors arranged in the starry sky to expand the field of view to a nearby two thousand light years. If the maximum distance of a single space wave detector is only seven to eight hundred light years Year.
This discovery gave the Bayan civilization a deeper sense of human technological level and a stronger threat.
Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. They must be observed.
War is never a trivial matter or a child's play, especially in interstellar wars that can lead to genocide. Once the war fails, civilization will fall into hell forever. Any mature civilization will be cautious when launching a war against a threatening civilization.
Under the threat of war, the Bayan civilization's original war plan was delayed again and again, and with the rapid expansion of human military power, it began to gradually evolve into a massive arms race.
