Jiang Yu took a sip of the cigarette in his hand and then extinguished it. He took out another cigarette and lit it.

In recent years, Jiang Yu rarely smokes in public, but today he is too excited. He feels that his brain seems to break through a layer of invisible shackles, allowing him to see many more profound things, and he must use nicotine to anesthetize himself.

The conference room fell into a long silence, and everyone was pondering what Jiang Yu said just now. The more they thought about it, the more they felt it was reasonable. Otherwise, only the current laws of the dark forest would be able to fully explain why the universe is so deserted.

The Milky Way is very large, with a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. However, if there were 100 million civilizations in this range, under the premise of dark forests, many civilizations would have long since pirated their dogs' brains.

Especially after the light-speed spacecraft, it is common for the battlefields of two advanced civilizations to span thousands of light years.

The war between dozens of advanced civilizations is enough to turn the Milky Way into earth.

Hiding honestly?

It is impossible. If the density of civilization is too high, there is no place to hide.

At that time, the threat from the dark forest would be reflected in the open, which was the desperate battle between civilizations.

However, according to humans' current observation of the universe, the universe is very empty. If a civilization wants to develop in a hurry, there are places where it can hide.

At least within a few dozen light years nearby, humans have not discovered the fourth intelligent life except for the Silicon Stars and the Three-Body Stars who don’t know where to go.

In outer space, except for the occasional dark forest strikes, no large-scale space wars were observed.

All these evidences show that the universe is very deserted.

"I thought of an old friend who thought about a question I asked." Jiang Yu smoked half a cigarette and said, "He asked me: What should we do if our race stops progressing?

"Human greed will not stop, but what should we do when material life stops and can no longer satisfy human greed?

"what to do?

“When I first heard this question, I thought I had known the answer.

"The second time I thought of this question, I realized that I didn't seem to know the answer!

"Now, I understand the inner meaning of this question."

Jiang Yu extinguished the smoke again: "Everyone, my friend at that time had already vaguely realized the crisis that human beings came from within.

“Our technology is becoming more and more complex, and our society is becoming more and more complex.

“If one day our technology reaches the highest level, our society will become unprecedentedly excellent.

"Does it mean that our development has stopped? Technology benefits will gradually be consumed, and social benefits will become increasingly unable to satisfy everyone's appetite, and we may eventually collapse."

Ricks smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how to discuss it with you, because I find that I seem to be fundamentally in your mind."

Jiang Yu waved his hand: "Then let me listen to me first.

"I think this should be one of the dark forest supplements we have been looking for: as civilization expands, the more complex the civilization becomes, the greater the threat from the inside of civilization!"

He paused and said, "I try to apply this criterion to other civilizations, such as the 'black civilization'. They should be a model that ignores the threats from the civilization.

"From the achievements they have achieved, the civilization that attacked them cannot completely destroy them, but they eventually perished.

“According to information and conjectures, a large part of their demise came from the inside of civilization.

“First of all, they were too careless and after they learned the clues about Venus, they put all their bets on Venus.

“After coming to Earth, they acted like a group of fools. It’s hard to imagine that they could starve to death!

"I think it's not that they don't have enough intelligence, but that their previous lives were too comfortable. After civilization encountered a fatal blow, they suddenly didn't know how to deal with it.

"So under internal and external blows, the 'Black Civilization' perished.

“I remember the last black man said that they knew it too late.

"Maybe when they realize the dangers from within civilization, they can no longer change their status quo."

The experts have just digested Jiang Yu’s previous thoughts, but now they are in a new way of contemplation.

Jiang Yu took a few sips of drinks and waited for them, and then continued, "I will try to apply this law to Venus, and he must know the full picture of the law of the Dark Forest.

"Have you ever wondered why Venus said she only has one consciousness?

"There are only two possibilities. The first is that this race is born with a public consciousness. The second is that in order to avoid internal threats, they simply merged the consciousness of the entire race!"

Jiang Yu sighed: "There are also humans themselves, this is the civilization we are most familiar with. We have never stopped since the beginning of civilization.

"It can be said that war has been developing with the development of mankind.

"We initially had the ability to destroy ourselves because we were trying to deter our compatriots!

"After the founding of the Solar System, there were conflicts with other people or political systems.

"Now humanity has become a country, but internal conflicts have never stopped.

"The military has conflicts with the escort government, and the former escort government has conflicts with the current escort government.

"There are more conflicts among the people, and the first batch of immigrants have conflicts with the second batch of immigrants.

"The earliest residents of the solar system had conflicts with the two groups of immigrants after the Battle of the Heavenly King and after the Second Battle.

"A very important task of the government is to actively regulate conflicts between all parties in the country, so the solar system countries are still relatively healthy now.

"Once the functions of the executive government begin to weaken, it is very likely that the Solar System will fall apart in a very short time!"

Jiang Yu frowned and did not summarize: "It may be true that sentence: We are heading for destruction! What's even more sadly is that we can't stop."

Ricks was stunned: "Which celebrity's words are these?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "It's a sentence that I just thought of."

Ricks smiled with several experts, and the atmosphere in the venue became much more relaxed.

An expert asked Jiang Yu: "Although this momentum is irreversible, is there no solution?"

"Yes," Jiang Yu said: "Always on the road, or always ask yourself to climb higher peaks."

The experts were silent again because this method was too ideal. There was always a day when the road ended and the mountains would always climb to the highest peak.

"I will leave the specific plan to the Strategy Department and the Executive Government to think about." Jiang Yu said again: "You can help me think about it first. Is the rule I proposed universal enough?"

A famous expert said: "I think as far as possible, there is indeed such a phenomenon in the universe.

"We can temporarily think that this law is correct. If we observe that this law does not conform to it, it will not be too late for us to make corrections."
