A year passed quickly. Ye Su woke up at Duo. The resources for upgrading to the fourth-tier brood have been collected. Ye Su stood up and stretched. Gathering resources for branching insect nests does take energy. In fact, Hive itself can do these jobs. But after Ye Su intervenes, the process will only speed up. this year. With Ye Su's intervention, the expansion of the brood can be crazy. Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and a large number of satellites are almost eaten up.
Some fleets have nanite swarms nesting at the center of the planet, acting as a source of gravity. And the brood that has collected resources. The upgrade work has also officially started. It's been a long process. Think back to the beginning. When the second-level insect nest is upgraded to the third-level insect nest. The truck-sized hive quickly completed its transformation. And the third-order insect nest at this moment is as huge as a moon. The upgrade time it needs is greatly extended. This upgrade is more like a kind of growth. Huge nests will grow in resources, changing the hierarchy of various organs. Higher-level insect nest organs will be transformed slowly. certainly. During this process, the insect nest is not as if it is dead. It still has all the functions that belong to the insect nest. "Lilian, how are humans doing?" Ye Su asked. "Without the suppression of water droplets, humans have built several launch towers under the command of logic." Lilian said; "That kind of transmission tower seems to be able to use the sun as an antenna to emit star-level radio waves into the universe." "Well, it seems that logic has come up with the theory of the dark forest." Ye Su said;
"It just so happens that we have won some time with us, and at the same time, we can prostitute human resources for nothing." Ye Su has already decided. If you are meticulous enough to reach the fourth-order insect nest, you will not come out of the mountain. After all, the three-body civilization in the original book did not die out in the end, and even grew to the point where it could build a small universe. so. Once he makes a move, the entire Trisolaran civilization must be wiped out. Even if they have spaceships traveling at the speed of light, they cannot escape! And do it all. Only one thing can do it. That's a wormhole! "Let's go, let's look at the logic." Ye Su said. subsequently. Lilian found logic with Ye Su. "Are you here?" Logic looked at Ye Su and said. The light in his eyes was like a calm lake. At that time, the expression seen in space was no longer there. "You came just in time. I'm talking about a theory with Dashi, but it's not easy for Dashi to understand." Da Shi waved his hand helplessly. "Why don't you cooperate with me." "Okay." A group of people walked into the night. Logic took out a few cigarettes and distributed them. Ye Su, on the big history point. in the dark. Three sparks are flickering. "Ye Su, you have taught me a truth for hundreds of years." Logic said. "What?" "The first essence of civilization is survival!"
"Um." "You have been on your side all these years, but you have maintained your relationship with humans, because as a Wallfacer, the Human Guild provides you with a lot of resources." "Yes. I need resources." "However, the resources in the universe are limited!" said logic. He is getting closer to the truth. "Survival and limited resources seem to be the iron law of the universe, and all goals of civilization follow this iron law!" "In this way, all your actions can be explained." "Ye Su, you hide very deeply." Ye Su let out a puff of smoke. I am not hiding deep. I start with Tianhu, I know the history of this universe, and I am just advancing as a prophet. Otherwise, I would have released the Zerg a long time ago and killed the Three-Body Civilization. However, after knowing the future, the Trisolaran civilization will definitely launch coordinates in despair. At that time, the third-order insect nest will be chased out by the singer's cleaners. "Logic, what are you talking about? What's the deal with survival and limited resources?" Da Shi scratched his head. "Da Shi, think about it, since resources are limited, what should civilization do in order to survive?" "Of course I'm going to grab it!" "Yes, so the Trisolaran civilization must be killed!" "In fact, it seems that there is no way to negotiate, such as technical cooperation, better access to resources in the universe." "After all, the universe is so big!" logical nod; "You're right, Da Shi." "But if I can monopolize it, why should I share it with you?" "Besides, how do we maintain trust? Sign a contract with a piece of paper?" "You know, even on Blue Star, a piece of paper contract is not as good as toilet paper to wipe your butt in front of a big country, let alone two civilizations!" "Can't I contact you first? If you are good-hearted, then cooperate. If you are malicious, then I will attack!" Da Shi said. "Then I will deceive you, just like a Wallfacer, and you can't judge my thoughts! This is called a chain of suspicion!" Ye Su said.
"What if I'm stronger than you? It's useless for you to deceive me? The chain of suspicion is meaningless." Da Shi said. "Da Shi, the concept of technology explosion is here!" Logic continued; "I am stronger than you. This is temporary. The Trisolaran civilization is 4 light years away from us. It will take four hundred years for it to come here!" "In the past four hundred years, is it possible that human technology will develop rapidly?" "At that time, after it reaches the solar system, we will already be stronger than it!" "So it launched a sophon!" "Yes, sophons have locked down our science, and from another perspective, what the Three-Body Civilization brings is malicious!" "Then what does this mean?" Da Shi still didn't understand. "This shows that civilization has no choice!" Ye Su said. "Yes!" said Logic; "From the moment they receive our radio waves, they are ready to invade us." "Because they have no choice." "If they are not going to invade us, we will kill them if they are not ready." "Do you know if you don't have a choice? Da Shi!" "Once the two civilizations find each other's traces, then they have no choice!"
