The Creator of the Second Dimension

It was a vast wasteland.

In the wilderness, there is a person alone.

He was wearing the robe of an ancient emperor, standing with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.

In the sky, three dazzling suns emit scorching light, making the earth as dead as hell, representing the sun of hope, at this moment, like the god of death, staring at the world.

Although it is just a stick figure with only some lines outlined, Xu Rui's painting has grasped the charm, so Lin Shuyi can see the artistic conception that this concept draft wants to express with just a few strokes.

The three suns lead to misery, and the sage wants to solve this problem.

Lin Shuyi first thought of the Chinese myth and legend, Hou Yi shoots the sun.

It is also because too many suns lead to the desolation of the land, but Xu Rui's manuscript only has three suns, which is obviously different from the myth of nine suns.

"What's this?"

Can't help but ask, Lin Shuyi smiled when she saw Xu Rui turning her head.

"The original conceptual painting of the next work, animation."

As he spoke, he switched left and right, and Xu Rui had already drawn several of them.

There are hordes of cosmic fleets gathering in the void, facing a small drop-shaped object.

There is a giant ship traveling in the sea, ahead, steel threads form deadly strings, ready to go.

There are luxurious manors, elegant men and beautiful ladies are looking at the calm lake.

There is a scholar standing in the tomb he dug for himself, with a pistol pointed at his head.

Although these concept original paintings seem to have no connection, Lin Shuyi feels very harmonious.

Seriousness, grandeur, suffering and hope, these keywords came to her mind.

"Wow, what kind of work is this, science fiction?"

Although Lin Shuyi has not seen the internal preview of "Country Teacher", but also heard a few introductions from some colleagues who did the original painting, more or less know that this is a science fiction movie, which reminds Xu Rui's first work " "Voice of the Stars" is also a sci-fi work, and it is different from the general space opera, with a humanistic and scientific texture.

Therefore, Lin Shuyi is also looking forward to Xu Rui's new science fiction work.

"Well, it's about the civilized war between humans and aliens."

Xu Rui replied.

"Civilization Wars? Like those movies?"

Lin Shuyi immediately thought of some movies, such as Martians invading the earth, alien spaceships descending on the earth, giant robots turning into cars, etc. She was a little curious about how the animation should represent this alien invasion scene.

You know, if you don’t use CG to express this kind of scene full of explosions, crowds, and cities, then the pressure of painting will be very high, but no matter how good the CG is, the difference between it and hand-painting still exists, and it is easy to produce a sense of fragmentation. And that's not right for a work.

Seeing Lin Shuyi's confused face, Xu Rui simply turned the chair around and let Lin Shuyi sit aside.

"Actually, the alien invasion in the movie is unreasonable."

He paused, then continued.

"In the observable universe known to mankind, there is no other life. Then, how powerful is the civilization that can discover the existence of the earth and send people to the earth? Sub-light speed or even super-speed Travel at the speed of light, controllable nuclear fusion, the psychological strength and logistical support of long-term navigation in the vast universe, these are all things that humans cannot compete with."

"That is to say, if there is a scene where aliens invade the earth, we can't resist it at all?"

Lin Shuyi was very smart and understood Xu Rui's meaning immediately.

"Actually, there is a theory that just receiving information about the existence of aliens will cause changes within the civilization."

Xu Rui added.

"This work tells the story of human beings sending signals to aliens and getting a reply, which opens the story of communication and struggle between two civilizations."

Then, he briefly told Lin Shuyi the story of a woman who had lost hope for human beings because she was persecuted by the people around her and communicated with alien civilizations.

Alpha Centauri is a three-star system, that is, a galaxy composed of three stars. In astrophysics, a three-star system is an unstable system, and its trajectory is unpredictable and irregular.

Alien civilization was born here.

Xu Rui talked about the hundreds of rebirths of this alien civilization. The aliens have evolved a special mechanism to deal with the disordered three-star system, but even so, many civilizations only stay in the Stone Age or the Steam Age.

But this time, the alien civilization captured the signal from the earth, and when they found that the earth was in a stable star environment, they decided to invade the earth.

However, alien civilizations have not mastered superluminal technology. Although their technological level is far superior to that of the earth at this stage, they have not really widened the gap. At that time, they will face the people on earth whose civilization level is far beyond theirs, and thus become cannon fodder.

Therefore, the alien civilization used its powerful quantum science and technology to create a sophon, an intelligent robot only the size of an elementary particle, which can interfere with the movement of particles in the particle accelerator, and can also monitor any situation on the earth. The means are used to make the basic science of the earth civilization unable to develop, which is the so-called technology lock.

Xu Rui told Lin Shuyi about the concept of technological explosion and chain of suspicion, and finally said.

"If we determine two axioms, first, survival is the first need of civilization, and second, civilization continues to expand and grow, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains the same, and then the introduction of civilization is caused by alien disturbances. The resulting technological explosion, and the chain of suspicion between the two civilizations, we can get a cosmic sociological conjecture."

"What guess?"

Lin Shuyi was originally a liberal arts student. Just understanding the technological explosion and the chain of suspicion took a lot of brains. Hearing this, she felt that she could understand each word separately, but she couldn't understand the meaning at all when they were linked together. .

"simply put."

At this time, Yi Qianqian, who had been silent at the side, suddenly spoke.

"When a civilization in the universe discovers another civilization that is lower than itself, the best way is to directly destroy this civilization. At the same time, the civilization needs to hide itself to prevent it from being discovered by other civilizations."

I don't know when she heard the exchange between Xu Rui and Lin Shuyi, but judging from her answer, at least she heard the first paragraph clearly.

"Yes, this is the theory of the dark forest, and the measures taken by the alien civilization in the work are to destroy the civilization of the earth."

Xu Rui nodded slightly.

"However, in this case, human beings will have no way to defeat aliens at all."

Lin Shuyi seemed to understand, but she was still a little obsessed with defeating the aliens.

"Well, so, in the second part of the story, humans came up with the Wallfacer plan."

Xu Rui replied.
