Chapter 813: The Laws of the Universe
Severi still had a very respectful attitude towards Xu You. After all, this was the most impressive intelligent creature Severi had ever met in her life.
And Xu You, just like the previous times, did not say anything extra to Severi, but just waited quietly for Severi to report some situations to him.
Seeing that Xu You had no intention of talking to her again , Severi took the initiative to say:
"Lord, after what happened last time, more and more Proxima people have felt the power of Blue Star civilization. And because of the Proxima civilization's system of full voting, more than half of the Proxima people finally agreed to withdraw the space fleet. I hope that Lord can feel our sincerity and stop pursuing what Proxima civilization did to Blue Star civilization before."
Listening to Severi's story, Xu You felt relieved.
After these days of hard work, we were finally able to force the Proxima Centauri civilization's space fleet to retreat temporarily, providing the Blue Star civilization with valuable time to develop.
Although these times may not last long, given the current development speed of Blue Star civilization, every day and even every hour is extremely important.
If we can buy more time, it will greatly increase the probability of Blue Star civilization winning when the Blue Star civilization collides head-on with the Proxima Centauri civilization.
Of course, if the Blue Star civilization could really develop to the point where it could confront the Proxima Centauri civilization head-on, this war would most likely be avoided.
When the power of two civilizations is very close, war will undoubtedly be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
However, at this time, Xu You thought of something else.
The peaceful outcome this time is actually based on the premise that the Proxima Centauri civilization recognizes that the Blue Star civilization is a powerful civilization.
If the Blue Star civilization was just a weak civilization, then the Proxima Centauri civilization would definitely attack the Blue Star civilization without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Xu You couldn't help but said to Severi:
"Severi, do you think this result is based on your kindness or on the strength of the Blue Star civilization?"
Hearing Xu You's question, Severi seemed a little at a loss.
In fact, Severi did all these actions without much thinking, but completely based on her instinctive thoughts.
Severi's rational decision allowed both parties to reach a peaceful outcome, which is the most ideal result.
As for if Blue Star is a weak civilization...
Then Severi would probably choose to attack the Blue Star civilization like most Proxima Centauri.
At this moment, an idea that had never appeared before came into Severi's mind.
"Kindness... Is this a trait that a living being should possess?"
The rule of "survival of the fittest" has always been adhered to in the genes of Proxima Centauri.
This kind of survival of the fittest is not the same as the survival of the fittest on Blue Planet. In the emotions of the Proxima Centauri, there is absolutely no so-called kindness.
It was not until today that Severi truly understood the meaning of this word for the first time.
"Severi, kindness is not a trait that all living things should possess, but it is a trait that intelligent creatures should possess. If there is no kindness in the genes of an intelligent life, then this intelligent civilization will eventually perish."
Listening to Xu You's story, Severi began to understand the meaning of Xu You's words more and more.
As a Proxima Centauri, this was the first time that Severi had heard of such a view.
However, after careful consideration, Severi felt that intelligent life should do more than just think rationally.
"Lord, a civilization like ours that is maintained by artificial intelligence is ultimately too monotonous. If I have the chance, I really want to go to the Blue Star civilization and experience its greatness."
"Severi, there will be this opportunity."
After saying this, Xu You wanted to go back to Blue Star directly, but suddenly thought of something.
"Severi, if you encounter any danger later, please send electromagnetic waves like this to the wormhole. After I receive it, I will come to help you immediately."
Xu You thought that once the Proxima civilization discovered the truth, Severi's safety would be in great trouble.
These days, Severi has helped Xu You a lot. No matter what the reason behind it is, Xu You owes Severi a lot of favors.
"Okay, Lord, I get it. I hope that day won't come."
After saying these last words, Xu You controlled the super quantum and returned to the Blue Planet through the wormhole.
“Lord, may we have the chance to meet again in the future!”
Severi stared blankly at the place where Xu You disappeared, unable to let go of the worry in her heart.
…
After returning from Proxima Centauri, Xu You felt mixed emotions.
Lin Shi had already understood the whole process through the computer and said to Xu You:
"Teacher, it is great news for us that the Proxima civilization can withdraw their fleet. This will give us at least a few more years of development opportunities."
"Yes, no matter what, it's always a good thing." Xu You said.
Although this peaceful situation may only be temporary, Xu You and Lin Shi are still grateful for this hard-earned development time.
At this time, Xu You wanted to discuss some philosophical issues with Lin Shi, but thinking that Lin Shi was not good at philosophy, he refrained from speaking.
After reporting this news to the Shenzhou Space Administration, everyone in the Shenzhou Space Administration was very excited.
This time, Xu You didn't even spend a single soldier, but brought about major changes within the Proxima civilization.
In the evening, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao returned home together.
On the way, Xu You had already told Lu Zhiyao roughly what happened today.
"Yaoyao, tell me, is the essence of the universe purely the law of the jungle, or does it contain some kindness and humanity?"
Hearing the question raised by Xu You, Lu Zhiyao also fell into deep thought.
Lu Zhiyao thought for a while before answering:
"I think there is no absolute answer to this question. According to the Dark Forest Law, the rule of the universe is the survival of the fittest, and there is no such thing as human nature. But in the development of Blue Star civilization, human nature has always existed."
"Then Yaoyao, do you think there is so-called human nature in the Proxima civilization?"
Due to the special system of Proxima Centauri civilization, people in this civilization never do anything based on their emotions.
