NOVEL NEXT Chapter 492 Why Did the Aliens Destroy Us(part I)
“Mom, why are those aliens hitting us? Why is there a war the moment we meet? Don't they know how to communicate? ”
The big square's screen was playing the news. A woman was holding a rainwater exorcist in her hand, holding her daughter's hand, looking at the army running past her.
The Alliance had prepared for this war for a long time. Because of the defeat of the small fleet at the beginning, they realized that the enemy this time was not comparable to the past. Hence, they took out almost all of their Strength and made preparations.
Although the fleet in the distant galaxies was not able to arrive, there were already more than 100,000 fleets heading to the front line. Almost all of the Strength that could be used in Disc Galaxy were gathered there. Once they were defeated, This also meant that no matter how much the Galaxy Empire paid, it would be very difficult to stop the enemy from annexing the galaxy.
“Maybe they can't understand what we're thinking.” His mother replied.
“I can't understand, why?”
She shook her head. “Everyone in a race can have different ideas, not to mention different civilizations.”
The program on the big screen was an interview. Because the alien incident had become the hot topic of the news, all the big television stations began to report on the situation. In order to encourage the people, many battleships that originally belonged to military secrets were revealed to the public. That majestic and imposing appearance, that sinister and dark cannon muzzle... All of this gave people great confidence.
On one side, they felt uneasy about the unknown origin of the enemy, and on the other side, they had confidence in their own side. Because of this, the discussions online were endless. Most people were optimistic about the Milky Way Alliance.
After all, it was a veteran Star Alliance, and there were many advanced civilizations in it. Whether it was antimatter or gravitational weapons, these had almost reached the limits of the current theory. Compared to the ancient people, the current technology was already like a god.
“Lord General, as you said before, the purpose of these enemies' arrival is to kill. They don't even have any intention of communicating with each other, and they don't care about their own losses. What kind of situation do you think will give birth to such a civilization, and whether or not they really know fear... Or are controlled by some sort of religion that we don't know about.”
The host is facing an individual from a level 5 civilization, a high-ranking officer of the Ministry of Public Relations, who has been working in the capital of the civilization.
At this time, she was invited to the Alliance's largest television station's communication center for an interview.
“This phenomenon might be difficult to understand in everyone's eyes, but after we consulted the scientific experts in various fields, we have obtained a reasonable explanation.”
He looked in the direction of the camera.
“Please think about it, some of the species in our civilization have a sense of pain. Most of them can express their pain directly through certain aspects. For example, the Pini Shepherd, when they are in pain, they will cry for help loudly. They would cry and show pain on their faces. This characteristic was a self-protection method that was formed from long-term evolution. Correspondingly... some civilized individuals did not feel pain, and they did not feel any pain from their own injuries. For example, the Eich people, this civilization did not understand some creatures after being injured. Why would they feel fear and even beg for mercy? To them, when they encountered danger, they had to fight and get rid of their opponents. If they couldn't win, they would run away. Kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy was meaningless. They just gave their lives to their opponent. ”
“Because you don't understand pain... So, during the battle between the Eich people, I don't even understand the difference between cruelty and pity. In the history of their civilization's development, there were no punishments. Because they didn't feel pain, and they didn't even feel much in other areas. Thus, punishments were meaningless. As for death, Eichwin has no direct experience.”
As he spoke, many people who were watching the video understood what he meant.
“Imagine a life like this, they don't feel pain at all. They won't feel pain, but they have a deep desire to eat and reproduce. When facing other civilizations, they naturally can't understand the pain they put on them. I often kill animals at home, which is a specialty of Mother Star. Every year, I have to kill tens of millions of animals in the slaughterhouse, and every day, I have to send them to the slaughterhouse to kill them. These creatures also have a sense of pain, but if I say, isn't killing these creatures too cruel? Let's not eat anymore, I believe everyone will think that it is very strange. These are originally used to eat? ”
The general's words then turned to his conclusion: “The enemies we are facing are generally in such a state. You can't think that they have no thoughts or consciousness just because the rolling beasts' intelligence is low. Just think that killing them is no different from killing your low intelligence pets. When we eat the Rolling Beast, these monsters will think that we are cruel and unforgiving... We should go extinct. Correspondingly, when those aliens face us with the attitude that you are all Rolling Beasts, We naturally have the right to think that they are cruel and unforgiving. But regretfully, we will not stop slaughtering them because of the pity of the rolling beasts. The enemy will not cry or beg for mercy because of our pity. And treat us equally.”
” Civilization has been developing for so many years, and unfair things still exist... Some people hate and kill their own kind for the sake of other races, while others do evil for their own interests. All of this is not something that can be changed because we are also doing something wrong. When you personally slaughter a Rolling Beast and eat its meat, Yet you shouted, Ah, you are so cruel... You actually killed a Mani Rat (a type of pet), isn't that the same? In the end... you're just using your own ideas to measure and judge others. That's all. ”
After saying this, surprisingly, he did not receive any applause or criticism. Instead, it made everyone fall into deep thought.
The host came to a realization. “In the past, when killing rolling beasts, rolling beasts would indeed beg for mercy. Occasionally, people would say ‘treat these creatures better'. At most, they would just die a quick death. These creatures seemed to have been killed since their birth. We also feel that it's only natural. The meaning of your existence was to become food, could it be that you want something else? But looking back at history, many years ago, the ancestors of the rolling beasts treated us as prey. At that time, they wouldn't think so much, we were prey to begin with. If we don't eat, we'll die. Why don't we kill them? ”
...
The mother standing in front of the street had a dark expression on her face. Suddenly, she patted the child's head with her hand. “Don't understand these words now. You will naturally know in the future. When the time comes, you will naturally have your own judgment.”
