The host can use the power of the system to save his own civilization.

Dark Forest: Liberating the Three-Body: Chapter 221: The Path of Change of the Three-Body Civilization, the Three-Body Human Race

"System...Save...Is there such a friendly civilization in the universe?"

Monitor No. 1379 was very surprised.

Darkness is the main theme of this universe.

The Three-Body Civilization has long possessed the ability to travel in space. They launched numerous probes to the other side of the starry sky a long time ago.

What they discovered made them feel extremely terrified.

This galaxy, this vast star field with hundreds of billions of stars, is silent and dead when observed from a distance, with no signs of the existence of any life species.

It’s like...their Three-Body Civilization is one of the first civilizations to be born in the universe and the only intelligent race in the universe.

So at the beginning, the Three-Body Civilization's exploration of this starry sky was quite unscrupulous.

Until the detector containing their highest technological achievement suddenly lost contact somewhere in the starry sky.

Afterwards, they launched several probes in that direction again, but the result was the same: they lost contact without any warning, and not a single signal could be transmitted back.

It was as if...there was a terrifying celestial body like a black hole lurking there, from which not even light could escape.

This discovery made the Three-Body Civilization feel something was wrong.

What's there...?

The Three-Body Civilization did not stubbornly pursue that direction; instead, they explored in other directions.

And the final discovery terrified the entire civilization.

This seemingly silent galaxy is actually filled with these unexplored voids!

Once any detection means enters these holes, they seem to be swallowed up instantly and cannot create the slightest ripple!

Scientists in the Three-Body World quickly came to a conclusion.

This universe is not dead and silent; intelligent civilizations may be as numerous as the stars.

It is only the ubiquitous danger that makes these civilizations choose to remain silent.

The reason for this "silence", the danger of causing the entire universe to enter an era of "great silence", comes from other intelligent civilizations.

There is nothing special about wisdom, and civilization is by no means unique.

The Three-Body Civilization is a latecomer and a weakling in this universe. It is the dust that can be destroyed at will by the "sweepers".

...the conclusion drawn caused the entire Three-Body World to fall into panic.

At this moment, the universe bared its man-eating fangs at them, and the ignorant Three-Body Civilization plunged headfirst into the gaping mouth of the abyss. If they had not woken up in time, only destruction would have been waiting for them!

As a result, the Trisolaran civilization destroyed all the probes that had been launched and stopped launching new probes into that galaxy.

Even the fleets that had been built long ago had to retreat to galaxies and no longer dared to step into the deep space which was darker than any night.

Only the listening stations set up in various places on the planet can always be alert to the sounds from the universe.

Naturally, these monitors recognized the dark side of the universe at the very beginning of their work.

But compared to others, monitor No. 1379 might be the most naive one. Even though he always looks up at the dark deep space on the other side, he still has unrealistic delusions - maybe... the universe is not that dark?

And this "system" that came to this planet from the other side of distant light years seems to prove, in a sense, that 1379's delusion is not a real delusion.

This universe, which the Three-Body Civilization has spent its entire life trying to understand, is not the complete darkness that swallows up all light as the civilization's scientists have theorized. In this universal and deep darkness, there are still lights flickering and fires burning.

The civilization that creates the "system" is such a light!

How could the scientists of the Three-Body World imagine that in this dark universe, there actually existed such a civilization, which came from thousands of light years away to send its power of salvation to civilizations in distress and help them survive the disaster!

What kind of spirit is this!

1379 is extremely exciting.

If there were more good people like this in the universe, then light might become the main theme of the starry sky.

He further thought that if the Three-Body Civilization could survive this "Three-Star Disaster", it would probably follow in the footsteps of that civilization, do its part, and contribute its light.

Thinking of this, he asked directly: "System, what do I need to do to save our civilization?"

He thought that this civilized creature that had arrived across a huge distance should not carry much mass and energy.

Therefore, the means it uses to help civilization is probably "information".

Countless and extremely precious scientific and technological data, which are even fantasies in the cognition of the Three-Body Civilization, are probably in the system's "information library". Just take out some of them to solve the disaster of the Three-Body Civilization.

For example... looking for information on solving the "Three-Body Problem"?

The three-body problem has no solution in the mathematics of the Three-Body Civilization, but this may only be because the mathematical level of the Three-Body Civilization is not high enough.

It is just like when a civilization is ignorant, it thinks that its planet is the center of the universe, but in fact the planet they live on is just one of the endless stars.

Just like in physics, at first we believed that the mechanics of the low-speed macroscopic world was the eternal truth, until it developed to a certain level, and then we realized the deeper world of mechanics.

The same is true in mathematics.

1379 believes that the "three-body problem" may be solved in the mathematical system of a more advanced civilization.

“Host, even if you solve the three-body problem, you can only accurately predict the orbits of the three stars, but the destruction brought by the stars still exists and has not been changed.

The system believes that some more direct methods can be used, such as removing two stars to build a stable orbit system. "

"Is this kind of thing...really possible?"

1379It's a little unbelievable.

He originally thought that this so-called "system" was just a database that only provided "information"-level help, but it seemed that this was not the case.

Listen, remove the star! Such a grand plan right from the start!

You know, the three stars in this galaxy are like a curse, leading to the destruction and rebirth of their civilization more than two hundred times. Even the Three-Body Civilization in this Heng Era, which has developed to the quantum age and has the ability to travel in space, is helpless against those three stars.

It's not that the Three-Body Civilization didn't take any action. It's just that these actions are like a few sparks in front of the power of a star. They are really insignificant.

Of course, it is only insignificant "now". If the Three-Body Civilization is given enough time, one day they will be able to deal with stellar-level disasters.

However, the Three-Body Civilization does not have such time.

Maybe tomorrow, or maybe the day after tomorrow, this Eternal Era will end.

Perhaps one day in the near future, one of the three stars will swallow up the Trisolarian planet, bringing complete destruction to the Trisolarian civilization.

And now, this "system" actually puts forward such a grand plan in such an understated manner?

Could it be that even after crossing endless light years, the creation of this super civilization still possesses the power to subvert the starry sky?

"it's not true."

After seeing what he was thinking at the moment, the system explained: "Removing the star... This is just a plan, it does not mean that the current system can do it."

The system unfolded a galaxy panel with text that 1379 could understand.

[Energy points: 100]

This is a very small number, and obviously, the energy to drive the system is not enough.

"System, what energy do you need? Chemical energy? Nuclear energy?"

Monitor No. 1379's mind was working rapidly, various forms of energy flashing through his head, and he was eager to find a way to help the system accumulate energy.

I think that as long as this system has enough energy, saving the Three-Body Civilization can probably be easily accomplished.

"neither."

The system replied: "The [energy] the system needs is not a simple form of energy. However, the system can tell you how to obtain energy points."

As the system was explained, the panels changed and a list of tasks appeared on the screen.

【Task 1: How did you become human? 】

[Task 2: Give civilization to the years, and give liberation to civilization]

[Task 3: Civilization without people is meaningless]

These tasks are followed by the number of energy points that can be obtained.

After exploring the system task panel, mall and other usage modules, 1379 could vaguely understand how the system was charged.

Civilization is the existence of anti-entropy, and the development of civilization will cause this anti-entropy to continue to grow.

Perhaps, what the system needs is this kind of [reverse entropy]?

Of course, this is just a guess.

Before taking on his current job as monitor, monitor No. 1379 was considered an excellent astronomer in the civilization and had a high level of scientific literacy. However, he could only speculate about the creations of this super civilization with ideas that were not even hypotheses.

But then again...

What is the so-called "human nature" in this task one?

Is it another name for "intellect" and "wisdom" in advanced civilization, or is it a summary of the universal characteristics of civilization?

He opened the only unlocked reference database of [Earth Civilization] in the system database.

The intelligent life of this civilization is called "Earthlings" and lives on a beautiful planet with life. The time span of their civilization is less than 10,000 years, which makes it particularly young compared to the Three-Body Civilization, which has a time span of one million years.

However, it took only three hundred years for this civilization to enter the atomic age from the agricultural age, and it is developing rapidly and is about to enter the quantum age.

Compared with the somewhat barren history of the Three-Body Civilization in some aspects, 1379 gradually immersed himself in this civilization with completely different thoughts and culture.

The Three-Body Civilization is an autocratic civilization, and the head of the civilization has all the power to decide all matters big and small in the civilization.

However, this system was abandoned by Earth civilization hundreds of years ago, and the time of this abandonment seems to coincide with the beginning of the civilization's technological explosion.

This institutional advantage may be one of the reasons why the development of the Three-Body civilization is so slow, while the development of Earth civilization is so rapid.

"If I want my civilization to develop rapidly and obtain the energy the system needs, then I have to further evolve the social system of the civilization."

1379 made such a judgment.

The Three-Body Civilization’s authoritarian system is based on two points.

One is the combination of historical and environmental factors. In history, due to the uncertainty of the era of constant chaos, the Trisolarian civilization had to quickly and accurately determine whether to "dehydrate". In the end, it chose to hand over the power of judgment to a single individual. Because this individual held the most important decision-making power, he gradually became the monarch of the civilization in essence.

Although civilization has developed to the quantum age and technology has allowed the Three-Body Civilization to survive in the chaotic era without relying on dehydration, the ancient centralized dictatorship system still continues.

The second is the physiological factor. Every intelligent individual in the Three-Body Civilization communicates through "waves". "Thinking" is "speaking". Every individual can see the thought fluctuations of the other party. There is no deception or concealment between individuals. The dictatorial individual can know what every individual is thinking, and is difficult to be deceived, and even more difficult to be overthrown by war.

In the past, 1379 would not have thought of changing this system.

Although...the Three-Body Civilization cancelled its exploration outside the galaxy due to its fear of the starry sky, and the entire civilization seemed lifeless due to its authoritarian system.

Everything has become solidified, and all individuals in the civilization have formed distinct classes, where the top is always the top and the bottom is always the bottom.

But despite this, if there is no comparison with [Earth civilization], no one knows how to change, and no one would want to change it all.

It is like a creature living in darkness all day long, never seeing the light, so it does not know what light is and will not yearn for light.

But now, 1379 has information about other civilizations, and he sees possibilities beyond dictatorship.

Environmental, historical, and physiological factors have made the Three-Body Civilization a dictatorship for a long time.

But it was like this in the past and it is like this now, but it will not always be like this.

With the data of [Earth Civilization] as a reference, 1379 can vaguely see a path that can allow the Three-Body Civilization to be reborn in the flames of change.

But he is not a sociologist, so he cannot know exactly what kind of road that is.

So what to do... Perhaps we can use the power of the system to spread the information of [Earth civilization] to the wave network of the entire civilization.

Such an action is no less than direct contact between two civilizations and will inevitably cause drastic changes in the thought and culture of the entire civilization.

But that's not a bad thing.

The Three-Body Civilization has been terrified by the destruction brought by the stars for too long, and has been stagnant for too long. The science of the civilization has even stagnated. If it continues like this, it will only become one of the countless glimmers of light that are annihilated in the universe.

"In order to save the civilization I love, I am willing to become the pioneer to break the catastrophe!"

"..."

A flickering light watched him from another dimension.

This light is flickering and tiny, but it exudes a warm breath.

The system quietly watched 1379 and took in everything it was thinking.
