Fooling Tomoko into being a system

Recalling Li Lin's past code of conduct on earth, in Thomas Vader's eyes, it seemed that he was famous for being indifferent, as if he didn't take anything seriously.

But once Li Lin's alien identity is introduced, his attitude becomes natural. Why do aliens care about the life and death of humans?

When the gap between two civilizations is too large, one side often does not regard the other as a kindred spirit, just like the modern countries two centuries ago looked at the African cannibal indigenous tribes, not to mention human civilization and the civilization behind Li Lin. The gap will only grow wider.

Even if Li Lin is a special case, what if we treat humans as the same kind?

Human civilization has always had its share of cannibalism, as you can tell by watching ancient emperors compete for the throne.

Thomas Wade thinks Luo Ji's description of Li Lin is very apt. In Li Lin's eyes, isn't the life-and-death struggle between two civilizations just like a fight between ants on the roadside?

Why should Cheng Xin use the morality among ants to restrain Li Lin?Trying to get Li Lin's attention?

Thomas Vader believed that being treated as an ant was the key to human survival, just as the Trisolaran civilization treated humans as bugs.

Cheng Xin's current behavior was like an ant putting her hands on her hips and shouting loudly at humans, trying to attract their attention. She didn't consider whether humans would pick up the ant and observe it, or crush the ant to death...

"Why should I save humans?" Li Lin tilted his head and looked down at Cheng Xin.

"You can create a black hole with a flick of your finger. Saving humanity is... easy for you and doesn't take much effort."

"My ability is mine. Whether I can save humanity or not depends on my mood and preferences. Can I think that you are kidnapping me with human morality?

If I don't save humanity, do you still want to use moral coercion or attack me?Or should I tell the coalition government and the public to let them speak out and criticize me? "

Although Li Lin used a relaxed tone, everyone felt like there was a big mountain pressing on their heads, making it difficult to breathe.

"I don't mind, you can scold him as you like." Thomas Wade didn't lift his guard until Li Lin threatened. It was definitely not a good idea to anger Li Lin now. He had already started letting Cheng Xin talk to Li Lin.

If Cheng Xin angers Li Lin, the consequences will be unimaginable. Human civilization may not have three years left. Li Lin only needs to take out a miniature black hole and throw it away...

Cheng Xin felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the living room, especially the green light in Thomas Wade's eyes that wanted to eat her alive!

He quickly explained: "No, how is it possible? It is absolutely impossible for me to have such an idea."

Seeing the frightened expressions on the faces of everyone except Yun Tianming and Luo Ji, Li Lin knew that there was no way he could go back.

"Save humanity? How do you know I didn't save humanity? Have you considered the source of the light speed engine technology in Thomas Vader's hands?"

Seeing that Cheng Xin looked confused, Luo Ji knew that she was not worthy, so he explained to her: "The four-dimensional fragments encountered by Starship Earth are probably gifts from Li Lin, just like the light speed engine he gave to the Trisolaran civilization. principle."

Thomas Vader got important information from Li Lin's conversation. Li Lin saved the humans he liked, but the humans on earth were not within Li Lin's liking. To be honest, in Thomas Vader's eyes, humans on earth were just a bunch of people. idiot.

Looking at the uneasy Cheng Xin, Li Lin decided to speak clearly once and for all, "I gave the humans on Earth a test, and they failed!"

"test?"

"What test?"

"When was it tested?"

"did not pass?"

"Why didn't it pass?"

Not even Thomas Wade discovered that Li Lin had actually put human civilization to the test, let alone others.

“What can we say about the current human civilization?

In my eyes, it's very... very hypocritical. I know this is not a good word, but it can more accurately describe my views on human beings on earth. "

Cheng Xin didn't expect that Li Lin would use the word hypocrisy to describe human civilization. If Li Lin hated humans, why did he still live on the earth for so long?

Li Lin saw through Cheng Xin's inner doubts: "I like the human civilization that still dared to fight and show its sword after discovering the Trisolaran civilization two centuries ago. Today's human civilization seems to have had its backbone ripped out."

Cheng Xin finally couldn't help it and spoke out again: "Why do you call humans hypocritical and spineless!"

Seeing that there was no anger on Li Lin's face, Thomas Wade let out a sigh of relief.

"Well - since human society has experienced great troughs and tribulations, we have realized a truth: give time to civilization, not time to civilization!

This sentence is really good, and it simply and clearly expresses the current human society's views on whether civilization can continue.

He means that human beings choose humanistic principles first and the continuation of civilization second. "

“What’s wrong with putting humanistic principles first?”

"There is no need to explain in a hurry. I have lived in human society for a long time, and I have a very deep understanding of the first principle of humanism."

Cheng Xin's face froze. She didn't think there was a problem with putting the humanistic principle first. This was the greatest achievement in the history of human civilization and the first step towards a beautiful utopian society.

A smile appeared on Thomas Vader's face. It seemed that Li Lin preferred the first principle of survival. This was recognition from aliens.

"Human beings two centuries ago chose human continuation first. New human beings pay more attention to their own stable life and choose humanistic principles first. This is normal and there is nothing wrong. Human beings all hope to live a happy and beautiful life."

"Do you want human beings to be as cold as the Trisolarans, caring about nothing but survival? The Great Depression is a warning.

If this continues, I am afraid that human civilization will self-destruct without the Trisolaran civilization coming! "

“Although the Trisolarans are quite extreme, we cannot deny that their approach is the only way to survive in the cold and cruel universe.

Either you have the ability to change the environment, or you have to adapt to the environment. If you can't do that, you can only be eliminated by the environment.

However, human civilization has no ability to change the environment and is unwilling to change itself. What is the problem with being eliminated by the universe? "

Cheng Xin couldn't understand why Li Lin was so cold. He looked at the problem from a narrow perspective that transcended human beings, from the perspective of the ecological chain of civilization. Li Lin was much beyond humans.

"Your civilization is more advanced, why are you unwilling to help some weaker civilizations? This can effectively prevent the dark forest theory from spreading throughout the universe!"

Li Lin almost laughed when he heard Cheng Xin's bold talk about trying to stop the dark forest theory in the universe.

The dark forest theory does not exist elsewhere, but only in people's hearts. Not even a ten-dimensional god-level civilization can change the people's hearts in the entire universe.

This theory is a continuation of the ten-dimensional civilization from the pastoral era. Want to solve the dark forest theory?
