Tang Shuang didn't discuss politics, so he didn't take Lu Mingyi's words.

"Therefore, it is not difficult for us to predict that any civilization with prosperous science and technology must have such a common feature: close communication between individuals and the elimination of prejudices, a complex and stable social structure that allows departments to cooperate, and a strong and fair government to maintain normal order."

"Therefore, it is not difficult for us to foresee that any civilization with prosperous science and technology will have altruistic behaviors in their group life. The ultimate outcome of extreme egoists can only be isolation and destruction, because a group can only continue to have altruistic behaviors universally.

Exist and continue to develop. The more abundant the resources, the larger the group, the closer the communication, the more docile the individuals and the more tolerant they are of other individuals. Only then can positive feedback make group life more comfortable and effective."

"So, it is not difficult for us to infer that an important rule followed by a civilization with prosperous science and technology is altruistic behavior. Individuals create civilization, and civilization also reshapes individuals. The most important point for this issue is the development of civilization.

Especially the maturity of modern science will make the entire society gentle and non-violent."

Ding Feng believed that he had fully understood Tang Shuang's theory and raised his objections confidently: "You mean that for an alien civilization that can visit the earth, its entire civilization and individuals must be civilized and gentle, right?

"

Tang Shuang: "You can say it that way, but there are still several issues involved."

Ding Feng waved his hand and said: "I completely disagree with your point of view. I can prove you are wrong by just giving an example."

Tang Shuang: "What about?"

Ding Feng: "For example, the party is united and opposed. Two groups in the same civilization attack each other because of some differences in concepts. There are countless cases in history."

Ding Ji: "That's right."

There are too many cases in history where parties are united and opposed by different parties. Anyone who knows a little about history has heard of it.

Lu Yingying thought further and said: "Not only humans, but also ants. Within a group, they are extremely united and highly altruistic, but when it comes to another ant group, they have to fight to the death. If according to what Tang Shuang just said,

That doesn’t make sense.”

Lu Mingyi and Wei Daqun did not speak. In fact, they also had many factual cases to refute Tang Shuang.

Tang Shuang was calm and said to Lu Yingying: "Yingying, pour me a cup of tea. I'm thirsty."

Lu Yingying smiled, everyone is waiting for your explanation, and there is still time to drink tea!

Tang Shuang: "Whether they are partisans fighting against dissidents or ants, I want to ask everyone, why are they fighting to the death?"

Ding Feng said impatiently: "We are asking you, don't always ask back."

Lu Yingying smiled and said: "Because we are robbing resources."

Lu Mingyi also said: "The concepts are inconsistent."

Tang Shuang: "Yes, the reason why they fight to the death is because they have a direct competitive relationship. If there was no such competitive relationship, would there be any party that agrees with each other and opposes dissidents? No more!"

"In the entire space-time universe, we and the aliens have no resources to compete for. The so-called party-to-party opposition is just a waste of energy. Yingying, do you think I am right?"

Lu Yingying smiled and said: "Yes~"

Ding Ji was not very happy. This Tang Shuang dared to tease his goddess! He couldn't bear it and retorted: "The lack of competition does not mean that they will be friendly. Do pigs have a competition with us? They are still domesticated and slaughtered!"

At this point, Ding Ji felt that he had grasped the key to the problem and continued to pursue: "If I follow what you said, Tang Shuang, so many creatures in our world will not become extinct, and giant pandas will not be endangered."

Lu Mingyi looked at him and Tang Shuang said nothing.

Tang Shuang: "This involves the issue of ecological balance."

"As we all know, when the ecosystem reaches balance, each ecological niche can only accommodate one species. Of course, humans are an exception, because with the development of intelligence, every new production technology of humans can be discovered from the environment

and use new resources to increase the upper limit of the population size. And when the population

After the scale reaches this upper limit, intelligent species will develop newer technologies, search for more resources from the environment, and continue to increase the upper limit of population size until they occupy all possible resources, all possible time and space, and even all possible ecological niches.

There is no way for any opponent to escape."

"This is why with the development of humans, animals and plants are rapidly becoming extinct, because we have taken over their ecological niches. From this perspective, we have a competitive relationship with all animals and plants on the earth."

Ding Ji thought for a while and asked: "Then why are you so sure that for alien civilizations, humans on Earth will not be in the ecological niche they want to occupy? Maybe humans are the next creatures to be extinct."

Tang Shuang: "This is a good question because it relates to the question I want to answer next."

Ding Ji: "What's the problem? Tell me!"

Tang Shuang: "Why do alien civilizations invade the earth? In other words, what is it about the earth that attracts them to come across time and space? Yingying, please answer."

Wei Daqun looked at Tang Shuang amusedly. Do young people want to show such obvious favoritism? Let us old men answer this question too.

Lu Yingying: "Water, air."

She has watched too many movies.

Ding Ji: "Mining resources."

Tang Shuang and Lu Yingying looked at him with stupid eyes at the same time. Human beings are trying to find ways to mine in the universe. Which alien civilization has eaten enough and has nothing to do and went to the corners of the earth to mine minerals!

Ding Ji also realized that this answer was relatively weak, so he wanted to win back the victory and said: "Animals and plants!"

Tang Shuang liked it, the young man is good, the answer is correct!

"Yes, they are animals and plants. To be precise, they are advanced intelligent life, that is, we humans. If alien civilization is really going to come, it is us who are interested in it."

Lu Yingying is a good partner and asked at the right time: "Why?"

Tang Shuang: "The rarest thing in the universe is life. We humans have been searching for so many years, but we have not found a single life in space. For an advanced civilization, a brand new intelligent species that is different from them has immeasurable power.

value because they can provide strategies that push the boundaries of logic.”

What does it mean? I don’t understand.

Tang Shuang: "This brings us back to the first question, technological progress! Scientific and technological progress depends on theoretical progress. Where does theoretical progress come from?"

Tang Shuang asked Lu Yingying. The girl shook her head and said she couldn't guess.

Lu Mingyi thought for a while and said: "Objective practice."

Tang Shuang: "Mr. Lu is right. Theoretical progress comes from two aspects, systematic and objective observation and rigorous and effective inference, which is what we usually call experiment and logic."

"Among all observable objective things, life phenomena, including human civilization, are the most worthy of observation. Just like we observe chimpanzees, monkeys, and any other biological group, we obtain data by observing them.

Come learn about the world.”

"So, how will another alien civilization with prosperous science and technology look at humans on Earth? I think they will only carefully observe these miracles of life and civilization with curious eyes, rather than Captain Columbus with barbaric eyes.

The atrocities made this place a mess."

…

"So, even if there is a powerful interstellar civilization that can easily reach every corner of the universe and establish a galactic empire, the most likely status of the earth will be a civilization reserve, protected for its unique research value and specimen value.

Place it under covert surveillance to exclude interference from outside life, especially outside civilization. Just like we divide a nature reserve in the jungle, restrict all development, bury cameras, and quietly observe the most natural appearance of primates."

Tang Shuang: "This is why I believe that alien civilizations that can visit the earth should be civilized and friendly, rather than brutal and bloody like in movies and TV series."

Lu Mingyi: "What the young man said is very reasonable. Just like your father, he has a sharp mind and is eloquent."

It’s true that Brother Sanjian has a sharp mind, but it’s not true that he can speak eloquently. Tang Shuang thought to himself, it’s scary that he always resorts to violence if he doesn’t speak well.

Lu Yingying's eyes were shining, which made Ding Ji very sad.
