Chapter 328 Extinguishing the Sun
Zhao Chenguang replied sternly, "The solar system's energy has never been part of Spark's plan, nor is it something it considers. What Spark really wants to do is destroy Earth's civilization.
When two civilizations emerge simultaneously, there are only two possibilities. One is that the stronger civilization swallows the weaker one; the other is that the stronger civilization destroys the weaker one. The former is inclusive, while the latter crushes everything.
Regardless of which of these two scenarios occurs, the two civilizations cannot coexist. Therefore, extinguishing the sun is merely a means to destroy the civilization on Earth."
Rouyi quietly asked Han Yu, "Why do you say that 'Spark' can easily destroy Earth's civilization by extinguishing the sun?"
Rouyi clearly didn't understand the deeper meaning of what Zhao Chenguang meant by "extinguishing the sun." Her understanding of the concept was limited to the literal meaning.
But she can't be blamed for that. What Zhao Chenguang said went beyond the scope of physics. His words also included the laws of civilization evolution, anthropology, and various other complex contents. These theories were mixed into the grand plan of "extinguishing the sun," making it difficult to understand.
Not only Rouyi, but Fatty and An Wenshan were also confused. Only Han Yu could barely understand Zhao Chenguang's "implication."
Han Yu explained, "Because the sun is the energy source for all life on Earth. Most of the energy on Earth comes from solar radiation. If it goes out, the Earth will become very cold and unable to sustain life.
Plants need the sun for photosynthesis. If the sun disappears, plants will not be able to grow, and the oxygen on Earth will gradually be exhausted.
In addition, the Earth's atmosphere will gradually disappear, and exposure to radiation and cosmic radiation in outer space will cause the Earth's surface temperature to drop sharply.
Although a small number of privileged humans may be able to hide in bunkers with internal circulation systems and survive the disaster, they will only be eking out an existence in the bunkers. They cannot possibly thrive in a small bunker.
Considering the external environment, humans cannot survive for long in low temperatures and without energy and food. Ultimately, human civilization will end with the extinguishing of the sun.
Only a very small number of organisms on the entire Earth can survive for a period of time relying on the Earth's geothermal energy, but without energy input, the Earth will eventually become a dead planet."
When Rouyi and Fatty learned the truth about the disaster caused by extinguishing the sun, their faces were filled with fear, and they were too shocked to speak.
From this point of view alone, it can be determined that the Spark civilization is definitely a crushing force for human civilization.
"No... " Han Yu suddenly realized that she had missed a key point. This was a deviation in understanding caused by inertial thinking. Fortunately, she reacted and brought up the important information she had overlooked for re-analysis. "If the sun goes out, all living things on Earth will inevitably perish, but traces of the existence of various organisms and records of brilliant human civilization will be preserved in the process of extinction, relying on various media.
Even if the medium carrying the record of human civilization is sealed in thousands of feet of ice, it will not affect its integrity and readability.
Although humanity has lost in this war of civilizations, the evidence that we came to this world and gazed at the stars has been preserved.
At that time, human civilization will be like a cruise ship sunk in the deep sea, and the sunless Earth will be like a vast ocean. If, one day in the future, an external civilization discovers the civilization heritage on Earth while passing through the Milky Way, then as long as they are willing to spend time, they will definitely be able to salvage the human civilization heritage from the seabed.
That's right, human civilization has indeed come to an end, but everything about the civilization has been permanently and completely recorded and preserved.
This situation is actually a potential threat to the Spark civilization. I don't think you can't think of that.
So, I don't think you'll let what I just hypothesized happen, because you want to completely destroy human civilization, destroy human knowledge, technology, history...
Destruction means leaving nothing behind.
Because, if a higher-level civilization discovers the existence of the Spark civilization through the relics of human civilization, it will also regard the Spark civilization as a threat. The strong will crush the weak like crushing a small bug.
Your plan to extinguish the sun is actually to completely destroy the Earth and use the Earth as a tool to extinguish the sun.
Although I don't know how to do it, if I understand correctly, you want to send the Earth to the sun and use the sun to vaporize the planet."
