Chapter 33 Darkness and Suspicion

"Are they all the same?" Su Mei asked back.

Lu Yuan nodded seriously and replied: "It's all the same."

"When the five warships left the earth and decided to run into deep space as wanderers, the first lesson to run into space began."

Lu Yuan looked at Su Mei: "In the book, this lesson is called the Dark Forest."

"In the black forest of the universe, every civilization is a hunter with a gun. They are both hunters, but also prey."

"This truly terrifying interstellar war is carried out in the vast ocean of the universe, but at the same time, every hunter who emerges and is discovered will be killed by bullets fired in the dark, and then the forest returns to darkness."

Lu Yuan said so.

"Are we the same now?" Su Mei asked.

Lu Yuan shook his head: "What are we like now? I'm afraid no one in this world can know that no one can explain it clearly, but shouting to the world to have its own existence and lighting a bonfire under the dark night is undoubtedly a dangerous act."

"Have you heard of the suspicion chain?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Suspicious chain?" Su Mei asked back.

"I don't believe you." Lu Yuan looked at Su Mei: "This is my suspicion of you."

"Do you know I don't believe you?" Lu Yuan smiled: "You don't know if I believe you. When you have this kind of thought, suspicion arises between us."

"But the suspicion will continue."

"I don't believe in you, you don't believe in me, I don't know whether you believe in me, and you don't know whether I believe in you."

"But it's very simple to stop this suspicion." Su Mei looked at Lu Yuan: "I came to you and said in person that I believe in you."

“Isn’t this enough?”

All suspicion will disappear in the face of communication.

"This is not enough. If you don't say it, you will count." Lu Yuan said: "Only if you are in my sight and I can see everything you do clearly, I will not have any suspicion of you."

Su Mei bit her lip gently and couldn't speak for that moment.

Because - Lu Yuan did this.

For a long time, Su Mei didn't know anything about the long road. The girl could only choose to believe in the other party and the man in front of her.

But he couldn't understand many things he did. It was not until Lu Yuan chose to tell Su Mei that Su Mei knew what kind of things the boy was carrying.

At the same time, Lu Yuan also implanted the Transportation Commission into Su Mei's body. Through the Transportation Commission, Su Mei could see all Lu Yuan's plans, all secrets, all actions, and even the most secret actions.

Lu Yuan chose to reveal everything about himself transparently in front of Su Mei, because only in this way can he be real, clear and completely shattered all suspicion.

Su Mei chose to pretend to be stupid, pretend to be stupid on a large scale, not knowing anything unnecessary, and even discussing his future plans with Lu Yuan.

The girl carefully maintained the balance between the two.

Lu Yuan gave her the power to check and balance, which was her power, but all the power was in her hands, so she should be more cautious and walk on thin ice.

"Yes, for the suspicion between you and me, I can give you the most newcomers and the greatest authority."

The boy said, "We are lovers, lovers, couples, and the closest people in the world. Even so, we can't help but suspect and distrust each other."

"So how can the suspicion between two countries, two nations, two worlds, and two suspicion be eliminated?"

Su Mei thought about it, and then thought about it.

Finally, he shook his head: "I don't know."

"Okay, then let's go back to that story, and in the end, what the story shows is the simplest dark forest system."

"Five warships rushed to the depths of the universe and never planned to return from now on. Their journey may last for thousands or tens of thousands of years in space, just like the first fish to climb onto land. Now humans leapt into space and never returned to deep space. This is another evolution in itself."

"So now, the problem is that the five spacecraft, fuel, and biomass are all limited, and this is an unknown journey, and the starship civilization is so fragile."

"When humans first developed nuclear weapons, they all had the feeling of being accustomed to such powerful things, but there was no dragon to slaughter in this world."

"Especially, they are facing a very serious problem." Lu Yuan looked at Su Mei: "How many nuclear weapons do you have to have to withstand the first wave of nuclear strikes from others without being destroyed by the other party?"

Su Mei continued to shake her head: "Since no one has ever tried it, I don't know how many nuclear weapons are enough."

"Yes." Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since I don't know how many nuclear weapons are enough, the more the better. So in decades, the number of nuclear weapons that the two superpowers have expanded wildly have reached tens of thousands."

Any nuclear weapon can easily destroy a huge city, but it is true that it has accumulated tens of thousands - no matter how many it has, it will not feel enough.

Especially when you see your enemy having more nuclear weapons, if you don’t continue to climb this number, you will feel insecure.

Yes, sometimes, security is such a funny thing.

"Because of not having experience, the more the better." Lu Yuan looked at Su Mei: "Then the problem is here now. No one knows how much fuel, how many spare parts, and how much biomass this trip requires."

"Then all five warships may be able to reach their destination, or all five of them die on the road."

"If the resources of the five warships are used by four, the success rate of the four warships to reach their destination will be higher."

"What about the three?"

"Where are the two?"

"Or the most devilish idea, what if there is only one?"

Su Mei was shocked by the devil's idea.

Yes, the robes and comrades who were originally close to each other became enemies of life and death in a blink of an eye.

You should know - everyone on these warships originally knew each other and could call each other's names, and even said that they had someone they liked on other warships.

But overnight, each other became enemies.

If even humans originating from one have such a relationship, then what would be the attitude of humans in the universe toward humans?

"This is a small dark forest relationship." Lu Yuan said with a smile: "By the way, Su Mei, what would you do if you were in it?"

Lu Yuan asked the girl.

"Where is that officer?" Su Mei asked back.

Isn’t the officer who chose to escape with the last battleship of mankind on the ship?

Lu Yuan smiled: "Didn't I just answered this question?"
