Chapter 71: Impact
Facing the bright morning sunshine outside the window, Zhou Cheng stood quietly, thinking quietly.
First of all, it doesn’t matter whether Luna was discovered by Earth civilization in this way.
The important point is the reason why the Moon Goddess blocked the reproductive capacity of human civilization.
If the carbon dioxide content in the Earth's atmosphere increased dramatically when humans entered the industrial age, making it possible for alien civilizations to discover us, or even as early as the feudal era, then let's assume that there are three types of alien civilizations in the universe:
Malicious, well-intentioned, neutral, indifferent.
Among these three civilizations, the malicious civilization undoubtedly has the motive to attack human civilization.
but……
If the so-called "Moon God" is an intelligent civilization, it is basically impossible for it to block the fertility of human civilization simply out of "malice".
The reason is very simple. The words unearthed from the Yangjiagou site, "If you live, I will die," can prove that this is not simply malicious, but there must be a reason.
So, what is the reason?
Zhou Cheng's gaze became increasingly profound.
He thought of a possibility.
First of all, it can be confirmed that even if there is no purely malicious civilization in the universe, no civilization dares to take the gamble.
The universe is so vast and there are so many possible civilizations. Which civilization would be stupid enough to bet that there is no purely malicious civilization among them?
Therefore, it can be concluded that even the "Moon God" civilization is very likely to be afraid of malicious civilizations in the universe.
At the same time, there is a possibility that human civilization and the Earth will "change the gas content in the atmosphere and be detected by malicious civilizations."
The falsification of the "Giant" theory suggests that the Moon Goddess is not on Earth.
The Moon Gods believe that the Earth and human civilization pose a threat to them.
This threat cannot be eliminated even if human civilization regresses to the feudal era.
At this moment, all the prerequisites blended and collided with each other in Zhou Cheng's mind, and finally... vaguely foreshadowed a possibility.
Perhaps, the galaxy where the Moon Goddess is located is near the Earth?
Of course, it is not nearby for humans, but nearby relative to the scale of the universe.
A few light years is nearby, and a few hundred light years is also nearby.
Perhaps... because the Moon Goddess is near the Earth, the exposure of human civilization is likely to lead to the exposure of the Moon Goddess civilization as well?
The Moon Goddess Civilization does not dare to gamble that there is no purely malicious civilization in the universe, so malicious that it can attack without any reason as long as it discovers the existence of other civilizations.
Therefore, the Moon Goddess might be worried about being implicated by the already exposed human civilization?
It's like, it's like...
In a vast wilderness, there exist many beings whose intentions are unknown whether they are kind or malicious.
Human civilization and Luna civilization are neighbors, living side by side.
The Luna Civilization is well aware of the risks inherent in this wilderness and is usually extremely cautious. However, Human Civilization is unaware of this and therefore acts recklessly and without scruples.
Human beings are unscrupulously increasing the content of carbon dioxide and other characteristic gases in the atmosphere, broadcasting information to the outside world, launching spacecraft, etc., just like they are cooking and setting off fireworks in this wilderness without any scruples, singing, dancing and shouting at every turn.
The evil in the wilderness could strike at any moment, and once it did, it could potentially destroy a large area.
Not only will humans die, but the Moon God... will also die.
Faced with such a neighbor who is ignorant, does not know how to hide himself, and does not know how to eliminate risks, what is the best way to protect oneself?
Destroy them.
We don't ask for any benefit from you, we just ask you not to get us into trouble.
That way, everything can be explained.
This is how, even if human civilization cannot leave the Earth, it can still pose a threat to the Luna civilization in outer galaxies.
Therefore, the Moon Goddess blocked the fertility of human civilization, hoping to destroy human civilization and reduce the content of characteristic gases in the Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, to normal levels, thereby reducing the possibility of malicious alien civilizations discovering human civilization and then discovering the nearby Moon Goddess civilization, thereby reducing the risks faced by themselves.
After figuring out the logic behind this, Zhou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind him, on the soft big bed, Liu Yu murmured and slowly opened his eyes.
Rubbing her eyes, she sat up and looked at Zhou Cheng: "Why are you up so early?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up and thought about something."
Zhou Cheng casually said, "Tell me, is it possible that the threat Moon God feels from us isn't direct, but indirect?"
The existence of human civilization brings about competition for survival, which is a direct threat.
Because of the existence of human civilization, the Moon Goddess civilization may be exposed and thus affected by attacks from third-party malicious civilizations. This is an indirect threat.
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Cheng slowly recounted what he was thinking, and a solemn expression gradually emerged on Liu Yu's face.
"Because of our influence, is it an indirect threat...?"
Liu Yu murmured, "If that's the case, then this is going to be difficult. We basically have no hope of ending this disaster."
Not to mention the malicious civilizations that exist from third parties, even if it is the Moon God civilization that may be located near them, they will be completely helpless.
Human civilization will face true despair.
"If the truth is indeed like this, then how to deal with it is a matter for the future. We can figure it out when the time comes."
Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Don't worry about that for now. Let's first find a way to prove whether this idea is the truth."
"There's no way we can prove it, right?"
Zhou Cheng thought for a moment and said, "The key point of the matter is, first of all, whether we in the feudal era can theoretically produce changes to the Earth's atmosphere that can be observed by space observation methods.
If this is proven to be true, it would explain why the Moon Goddess refuses to accept our plan to return to the feudal era.
The second point is: Looking at the entire development process of human civilization, from the feudal era to the modern era, all the changes caused to the earth's atmosphere, if human civilization is destroyed, can these changes disappear?
If this is proven to be true, then the Moon Goddess's motive for attacking us would be explained.
If both of these points are true, then... even if we cannot truly confirm that the Moon Goddess is targeting us for these reasons, we can at least believe that this possibility has a higher probability.
On this basis, we can think about how to deal with the Moon Goddess.
as well as……"
Zhou Cheng looked at Liu Yu firmly. "Even if the final verification results are false, we will still gain something. We can at least rule out this possibility and add another prerequisite for our subsequent thinking, further narrowing the range of possible existence of the Moon Goddess and getting closer to the truth."
