When detonating the small universe of the seventh-level civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy, Xiao Yu made some speculations about two philosophical weapons based on his observation of the phenomenon of "rules being broken."
The main difference between the first philosophical weapon and the second philosophical weapon is whether a third character is required to join. The second philosophical weapon is a philosophical weapon in the true sense, and its implementation does not require any reason. If
You possess a second philosophical weapon. If you give an order to it to extinguish the sun, then the sun will be extinguished immediately without any reason or reason. Because under the power of the second philosophical weapon
, the law of cause and effect has been broken, and results do not need causes to support them. In this system, anything can happen without reason. The cup suddenly turned into a tiger, and the sun suddenly went out.
There is no need for any reasons or justifications.
The first type of philosophical weapon is different. Compared with the second type, the first type of philosophical weapon is less powerful and has greater limitations. Its principle is to specify a result first, and then let the universe itself perfect the result.
Cause. In other words, it is still within the system of the law of cause and effect. The law of cause and effect is still in effect and has not been broken. In this system, the results still need causes. You give it an order to let the sun go out.
Then a series of things may happen before the sun goes out, such as a super alien civilization coming here, and for some reason, through some unknown technology, the nuclear fusion in the solar system stops in an instant - it requires the rest
Some elements act as a driving force, it still needs reasons and justifications.
This is the difference between the first philosophical weapon and the second philosophical weapon. This is exactly what the scientist is worried about. There is no doubt that "it" is a philosophical weapon, after providing sufficient energy.
, "it" successfully completed the order of the leader of the Dark Star Civilization and destroyed the entire Large Magellanic Cloud. However, these scientists and leaders did not know whether this was for a reason or not. If there is no reason, then it is certainly a good thing.
, but... what if there is a reason?
If there is a reason, why was the Large Magellanic Cloud destroyed? A galaxy will not destroy itself for no reason, so there must be a third-party force joining in. So... who is this third-party force? Based on their
From a personal perspective, for what reason did they destroy the Large Magellanic Cloud?
You must know that the causal relationship created by the first causality weapon is absolutely reasonable. In other words, this third-party force does not know that such a causality weapon exists in the depths of the universe, nor does it know its own actions.
In fact, it was secretly manipulated to a certain extent - in the eyes of this third-party force, everything was natural and there was no manipulation. They wanted to destroy this river system. So they destroyed this river system.
, to say that they were manipulated to destroy this river system, then they were the first to jump out to refute.
This is indeed the case. If someone told Xiao Yu that Xiao Yu destroyed the Large Magellanic Cloud because he was manipulated, Xiao Yu would definitely shake his head in disdain and laugh at them.
But one thing is that no matter what the reasons are for this third-party force to destroy the Large Magellanic Cloud, one thing is certain, that is, this third-party force has technological strength that surpasses their dark star civilization. For a seventh-level civilization,
It is said that the distance of more than three million light years from the Triangulum Galaxy to the Large Magellanic Cloud is not too far away, and there is a level 7 or higher with such super strength so close to me.
Civilization, how could this not cause them concern?
Several scientists and leaders present could understand the meaning of this scientist's words without any hindrance. After he said these words, several people fell silent. After a while, the leader shook his head and said: "I
I don’t think this should worry us. The power of philosophical weapons has been confirmed. If this unknown third-party force really exists, if it really comes here to cause trouble for us, we can completely eliminate them through philosophical weapons.
Lose."
The scientist continued with some worry: "I always believe that philosophical weapons cannot be launched casually and without any cost. Otherwise, all advanced civilizations should fully develop philosophical weapons and abandon everything else.
The development route is correct. There must be some limitations or some kind of cost to philosophical weapons - this cost may be quite high. Only then will they have to reluctantly give up the development of philosophical weapons."
"The most likely thing is that it is the rejection of the universe itself. Or it is the speculation of the defenders. The law of cause and effect is the cornerstone of the existence of our universe. To destroy the law of cause and effect is to challenge the rules. The defenders will definitely not tolerate this.
Such things happen. The rejection of the universe itself may still be a bit illusory, but defenders are real things. It is for this reason that I strongly opposed conducting experiments related to philosophical weapons..."
"Actually, there is a simpler reasoning, that is, if this philosophical weapon is really powerful enough, then why did its previous owner abandon it? Don't say that the previous owner died - if this philosophical weapon is really
If it is powerful enough, how could its previous owner still die? There is another question. The existence of philosophical weapons is definitely not the only one. In some corner of the universe, there must be a second or even a third philosophy.
Weapon, then, when the commands issued by these multiple philosophical weapons are not unique, which philosophical weapon will finally take effect?"
"For example, I have a philosophical weapon, and I order it to make the spaceship stay where it is, and you also have a philosophical weapon, and you order it to make the spacecraft move to the left. At the same time, the third party has a third party.
This is a philosophical weapon, which orders the spacecraft to move to the right. So, how should these three conflicting commands be executed in the end? This spaceship cannot stay in place and move left and right at the same time, right?
?”
"Or maybe there is something called power that measures the power of philosophical weapons. The command of the most powerful philosophical weapon will eventually take effect? But this raises another problem, that is, even philosophical weapons may eventually fail.
Yes, it is not omnipotent.”
After saying these words in one breath, the scientist took a breath and continued: "I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling. I always think that using philosophical weapons is a big mistake we have made."
Its words aroused the thinking of several high-level civilization officials who attended the meeting. After a while, the leader said lightly: "Anyway, we have already used it... We will discuss the consequences later. However, I agree with you about trying not to use it unless necessary.
Suggestions on philosophical weapons. In the future, we will not use philosophical weapons except at critical moments of life and death for civilization..."
The scientist was just about to continue saying something, when suddenly something else changed in this heavily guarded conference room. As several people watched in shock, something suddenly appeared in the conference room.
A somewhat illusory shadow.
You know, this conference room is the safest conference room built with the highest technology of the seventh-level civilization! Even in the face of a supernova explosion, this conference room can be safe and sound. But at this time, something like this suddenly appeared here!
Before the leader's order to summon the guards was given, this somewhat illusory shadow made its own voice. The language it used turned out to be the pure language of the Dark Star Civilization.
"Don't be alarmed. Leaders of Dark Star Civilization, I am from the Rebel Alliance...I have no ill intentions towards you..."
"That's right, we are rebelling against the defenders of this universe..."
"Yes, it was our alliance who appointed you as the guardian civilization in the first place... You were not judged by the defenders and successfully became a seventh-level civilization. This was also the result of our secret interference. We originally wanted to stay in the dark and watch you quietly.
Development, but if you use philosophical weapons, we will have to show up."
"Leaders of the Dark Star Civilization, you must execute the next thing, otherwise, what awaits you will be the tragedy of civilization extinction. You must leave here immediately and go to the Kite Galaxy in the Virgo Galaxy Group, where we will destroy you.
The old enemy, Shenzhou Civilization, or in other words, the destruction of Xiao Yu..."
"The defenders have noticed you, and the punishment mechanism has been activated. The Shenzhou Civilization, or Xiao Yu, is the chess piece it uses to destroy you. We have made some arrangements in the Feiyuan Galaxy. These arrangements will help you
Escape this disaster."
"Okay, carry out these things as soon as possible. Every moment of delay will put your civilization in danger." This illusory shadow said quietly, with a voice full of ethereal flavor: "If you can pass the test, let us
It is not impossible for you to join our Rebel Alliance... You must know that in the current universe, there are really fewer and fewer civilizations that have developed into war-related seventh-level civilizations..."
This shadow appeared suddenly, and after saying this, it disappeared suddenly. How it came and how it left, no one knew.
The leader of the Dark Star Civilization and several scientists looked at each other, even unable to react for a moment.
