Chapter 221 (2/2)

”Therefore, every first contact civilization can destroy each other first. With the advantage of information, the first contact civilization can be destroyed at the least cost...”

Someone sighed, ”the Soviets really believe it!”

The base suddenly quieted down.

Looking at the fleet waving its teeth and claws in the sky, the staff in the base had an indelible chill on their backs. They seemed to think of something terrible at the same time, and their faces showed horror and fear.

Someone couldn't help screaming, ”they can't do this! It's a crime!”

”We don't know what the opposite civilization exists and what attitude it is. It's anti human to attack them with this first contact destruction theory. This provocative and aggressive attitude will never achieve peace!”

The military representative quickly explained: ”we are not * * massacrers, just... Be prepared, that's all.”

Some people sneered and replied: ”this is the price we must pay for human survival! We have no time. The Apocalypse is aggressive. If we don't want to be the slaves of the apocalypse, we must make up our mind. How much can we pay for this? I remember this is a topic that has been discussed.”

”But it was a human sacrifice, not a massacre of innocent people!”

”That's better. Is the life and death of several aliens more important than the lives of our people?”

”If the three great powers on earth, the United States, China and the Soviet Union, do not know each other's information, then in such an information blackout, whoever has the information first hand will have the ability to destroy each other. Even the most powerful United States will be destroyed by weaker civilizations under the information blackout. If there is no cost to destroy each other, who can resist such temptation?”

No one can answer.

In the first contact theory, strange civilizations in the universe are like people with guns. The one who shoots first will have absolute advantages. Between each other, the one with information advantage can easily destroy the civilization exposed in his eyes.

Even if the two civilizations give up fighting each other in the first contact, the suspicion brought by the first-hand advantage of mutual destruction still puts peace at risk. This chain of suspicion in the prisoner's dilemma still puts peaceful contact at risk.

When the atmosphere between the two opposing factions became tense, a fierce drink calmed both sides at the same time.

”Don't quarrel!”

The general manager of the Beijing base stood up and looked around the hall. He saw many complex and unspeakable eyes and some emotions they didn't know. Everyone here is confused about the future.

No one knows what they will meet across the street?

Survival and development? Or war and destruction?

The chief said slowly, ”the situation opposite has been projected by the dimension detector! You can have a look.”

A video began to play on the big screen: the dense army was neatly arranged behind the portal, and the ferocious zetary people were carrying ray guns with bloodthirsty and fanaticism in their eyes. Snake shaped spacecraft and various war machines aim at the exit of the portal. There are traces of war everywhere. Everything shows that peace has disappeared.

There is only war in the future, and it must be war.

Everyone present fell into silence, all arguments dissipated, and mankind did not need difficult choices. But even the most determined humanists are not happy.

This means that the future is full of blood and fire.

The joint forces of China, the Soviet Union and Europe began to deploy troops to prepare for battle. Below the three-phase portal, a huge fortress is forming rapidly, and the portal in the sky begins to glow slightly.
