Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 256 Natural Alignment
Seeing Luo Ji's serious expression, Jiang Fan couldn't help but become serious as well.

"What high-probability event?"

Luo Ji picked up his teacup and took a small sip, as if about to reveal some earth-shattering secret. He first took a sip of water to calm himself down before speaking.

"Have you read all the film and television materials that the Guo family boy sent back?"

Jiang Fan nodded.

"Looked."

Luo Ji continued,
"Yinyin dissected the lizard from 5.4 light-years away. Its basic body structure was completely consistent with that of life in the solar system and the Trisolaran system. All of them were organic molecular units with carbon as the core element."

"This fact convinces me that there is some kind of connection between the three star systems, and that this connection is related to the origin of life."

"Then I asked Ding Yi if it was possible for matter to be transported between star systems."

Ding Yi's answer was that it did not exist. Due to the combined effects of spatial distance and stellar gravity, matter within this galaxy could not travel to other galaxies.

"Therefore, the first step is to rule out the possibility that factors within a galaxy are influencing other galaxies."

"That leaves only one possibility: this correlation comes from a third party that simultaneously exerts the same influence factor on all three star systems,"

"Based on current evidence, there is a 90% probability that this factor is a special carbon molecule structure, namely amino acids, nucleotides, and other basic building blocks of life."

Jiang Fan had seen a similar theory in the Second World: the origin of life comes from the stars, and planets are merely tools that provide a breeding ground for its growth and evolution.

"and then?"

Luo Ji's eyes gleamed, and he asked a rather philosophical question.
"This raises a question: Are these material factors man-made or not? Is their movement toward the star system man-made or not?"

The "people" here do not refer to human beings, but to some kind of life form with subjective consciousness that can transform the world according to its own will.

Jiang Fan shook his head after listening.
"There is no direct evidence to prove where those material factors came from. Even the existence of such factors is just speculation. To answer your question, perhaps the only way is to go back in time and trace the traces of extraterrestrial meteorites hundreds of millions of years ago."

Luo Ji slowly shook his head.

"It doesn't have to be that complicated. If something proceeds exactly according to the assumed causal relationship, then that causal relationship is valid."

"Assuming that such extraterrestrial life factors exist, then various types of life evolved from them must be found in star systems within a certain range."

"If we assume that this life force is man-made, then there must exist a more advanced form of civilization with essentially the same composition as ours."

"In other words, civilizations may not exist in isolation; there may be a powerful civilization above us, similar to a 'suzerain state'."

"If this life force is not man-made, but rather an evolutionary product of a certain region, then according to the law of near and far, following its origin, we will see increasingly advanced similar civilizations."

"In either case, this relationship can be a resource we can utilize, at least to know the direction in which a land of flourishing civilization is located."

These words are easy to understand. Unless the emergence of life is an absolute coincidence, it must be accompanied by some inevitable law. Mastering this law is equivalent to mastering the distribution law of 'oases' in a 'cosmic desert'.

This theory is of considerable importance for avoiding encounters with powerful civilizations or for finding civilizations in general. If it holds true, then if we compare the starry sky to a giant map, the distribution of civilizations is not random but follows certain patterns.

Just like the distribution of life on Earth, plains are more prosperous than plateaus.

Jiang Fan looked thoughtful, and after a moment of contemplation, he said...
"It is indeed possible, but it requires actual data to support it. At least we need to explore all the star systems within a thousand light-years of our solar system and then map out the systems where life exists. That might allow us to discover a unique path to life."

Luo Ji had much more to say. He nodded in agreement and continued,
"Based on this pattern, I also have an idea for a natural division of cosmic life into factions."

Jiang Fan looked at Luo Ji with a very interested expression.

"Tell me, what is meant by 'natural faction division'?"

Luo Ji finished his tea in one gulp, put down the cup, and said...

"I am just speculating, without any actual evidence. The so-called natural camp division means that life forms born from the same batch or the same type of life factors naturally belong to the same camp."

"Compared to life forms based on another form of life factor, life forms within the same camp clearly have a higher degree of mutual recognition,"

"And as I expanded this line of thought, I discovered a super interesting phenomenon!"

There aren't many people who can be Jiang Fan's riddle solvers, but Luo Ji is one of them. With just a few words, he piqued the curiosity of both Jiang Fan and Xi Ling.
Jiang Fan conscientiously poured Luo Ji a full cup of tea, then poured one for Xi Ling as well. After finishing, he filled his own cup, put down the teapot, and asked, "..."

"Stop keeping me in suspense, tell me quickly, what phenomenon is it?"

Luo Ji acted like a spoiled old man, comfortably enjoying the hospitality from the leader; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he received a unique treatment.

After all, when they were still nobody, they were already like family, knowing each other inside and out. Don't be fooled by their current position at the pinnacle of human civilization, looking down on all living beings. Before they became Wallfacers, they frequented the same bars and karaoke rooms all the time.
When Jiang Fan took Lin Bailan to gain experience, the familiarity on his face was stronger than most people's; he could even call out the boss's nickname.

Luo Ji took a small, satisfying sip; to the uninitiated, it would seem like he was appraising fine wine. He smacked his lips and said...

"This topic is a bit like a box; you can distinguish camps by the fact that their life factors belong to the same batch, and you can also use other similar conditions."

"For example, given the same batch of life factors, those that fly to the same star field and those that fly to different star fields are obviously more in line with the concept of a faction."

"Given the same star system, if affected by different influences, those affected will naturally be the ones affected. This aligns better with the concept of a unified faction,"

"As we break it down further, the closer we get to our category, the more similarities we have."

"If we turn this relationship diagram upside down, a pattern of similarities and differences emerges,"

"According to the ideology of the Humanitarian Alliance you've created, there's a crystal-clear line of shared understanding, similar to the unified origin of humanity,"

"For the various ethnic groups at Southeast University, it can be said that their unity originated from the Yanhuang and Jiuli peoples, and therefore they should be united as one, thus creating a core ethnic cohesion."

"But this relationship is different for people outside of Tokyo University, thus creating a camp relationship and leading to ethnic discrimination."
