After Ace had a serious conversation with Thanos, he felt that this guy was okay and could be dealt with.
Although there is something wrong with his brain, and the sins he committed before should indeed be punished by physical punishment, his starting point is good at least.
Ace believes that Thanos should be shot for his crimes, but his contribution to the universe cannot be erased.
But he must be punished for murder.
Thanos felt that what he did must be right. Everything he did was for the universe. Regardless of whether he was stupid or not, what he did was definitely right.
As for Ace, although he beat himself up, after talking to Thanos, he also knew that he was also a warrior who worked hard for the peace of the universe. He was a guy worthy of admiration.
Although he almost hit himself with intracranial hemorrhage.
And he is also helping himself analyze the method of family planning, hoping to use this method to make him give up the method of killing half of all lives.
If there is a better way, Thanos certainly wouldn't mind changing to a better way.
Thanos knows very well that although he is quite smart, different people must have different ideas, and maybe the other party can bring him some new methods.
So the two of them talked more or less happily.
Ace was thinking about having the opportunity to visit Thanos' universe in the future, and first help Thanos solve the universe's population problem in a better way, and then bring this guy under the door.
But the top priority now is to find a way to help Thanos find a suitable way to solve the population problem, so that he will no longer disturb other life in his universe.
Ace didn't understand this, and neither did Hikari.
The Kingdom of Light has never had problems with resource shortages and population explosion.
The Kingdom of Light has a population of over 10 billion, and the entire Kingdom of Light is still thriving.
But it’s okay if you don’t understand, you can discuss it.
Thanos used knowledge cards to come up with a new answer.
family planning.
It's okay for the two of them not to understand. There is no shortage of smart people here.
"Everyone! Does anyone know what family planning is?"
Ace asked loudly.
"Family planning." Strange turned his attention away from Wanda's Book of Chaos and said, "It probably advocates late marriage, late childbearing, fewer children, and eugenics, so as to control the population in a planned way."
"Shaosheng!"
Thanos seemed to have grasped the key point, and asked eagerly: "How to have fewer children!?"
"Um... I'm not an expert on this. I can go back and check it for you." Strange said, "However, you should understand another thing, that is, population growth is S-shaped.
"
"Let's use an analogy."
"On a grassland, there are wolves and sheep."
"When there are too many wolves, the number of sheep will decrease because of the increase in wolves. Once there are fewer sheep, the number of wolves will also decrease because of the decrease in sheep and food.
There are fewer, because the weak wolves have starved to death, and the sheep and wolves that survive are the strong ones."
"Only strong enough sheep can escape from being hunted by wolves, and only strong enough wolves can capture sheep to fill their bellies."
"This is survival of the fittest and natural selection."
"The same is true for the growth of population. If there is a shortage of food due to overpopulation, then the people on this planet will suffer a sharp decline in population due to the shortage of food. When the resources are almost restored, the population will follow.
When prices rise, nature has the ability to regulate itself, and there is no need for human intervention at all."
Strange also wants to persuade Thanos in this way. Saving the lives of that universe without any blood is definitely the best ending.
"No, you are wrong."
Thanos shook his head and said, "You haven't seen it, so you don't know."
"But I've seen it."
"I have seen people dying of hunger thousands of miles away, and I have seen Yizi eat."
"And when civilization reaches a certain level, nature's control may no longer be easy to use."
"Let me tell you my story."
"My home planet, Titan."
"It is a very beautiful planet with a large population and advanced technology. However, after society develops to a certain level, resource problems also arise."
"You said before that nature has the ability to regulate itself. This is true, but it only applies to planets where technology is not developed enough to make artificial changes to nature."
"Titan's technology can completely control the weather and produce food artificially. Diseases are just a simple operation in front of Titan's advanced medical treatment."
"And because technology is advanced enough, social welfare is also quite good. Even if many Titans don't work for a lifetime, the United Planets Government can support them for a lifetime."
"Is this good?"
Having said this, Thanos asked.
"Of course that's good."
Peter said: "Without disease, everyone can live a long life and live in peace and contentment. What's wrong with that?"
Thanos smiled bitterly and asked: "So, does anyone still remember the universal axioms proposed in the dark forest?"
"The first requirement of civilization is survival, and the resources in the universe are unchanged."
Bruce and others already understood what Thanos meant.
"Yes, the resources of the universe are unchanged, and the resources of Titan are also unchanged. Indeed, many things necessary for survival seem to have become unlimited under Titan's technology."
"Energy, we have almost inexhaustible energy, food, synthetic food, except that it tastes bad, is no different from ordinary food in other aspects, and the nutrition is even more balanced."
"But in this case, the biggest problem arises."
"The population explosion!"
"With a long enough lifespan and sufficient social welfare, childbearers don't have to worry about raising offspring at all."
"And because we live long enough, even if the annual birth rate is not high, compared with the death rate, the population growth rate is still positive, that is, there are more and more newborns."
"In this case, in order to survive, conflicts and wars will occur."
"A large number of people began to fight internally on a planet in order to give themselves and their children a chance to survive."
"In this case, a vicious cycle begins. The more chaotic it is, the less people will work and produce, and the more resources will be scarce. The more resources are in short supply, the more chaotic it will be."
"I proposed the idea of killing half and keeping the other half, but was rejected without hesitation. Even if I repeatedly emphasized that this was absolutely random and fair, I would directly count it in. If I was drawn, I would also
I will choose to kill myself without hesitation!"
"Maybe you still think I'm a madman, but I know very well that only by wiping out half of the population can we save Titan at that time!"
"If I were given another chance to choose, I would start massacring without hesitation! Instead of putting forward the idea and leaving it to them to choose!"
“Extraordinary times can only be solved by extraordinary means!”
"My biggest mistake was giving them my thoughts!"
"In the end, Titan was destroyed, and the remaining Titans began to live in exile in the universe, and I also began to form the Dark Church to prepare to save this universe whose population is gradually exploding."
A reader asked me before if there is a book club group. Let me answer here. Yes, there must be one. I will post the group number here: 1161933623.
