Chapter 201 The Dark Forest Law, the Creation of the Chain of Suspicion

“Hello everyone, I’m the auctioneer in charge of this auction, my name is Yuan Yin. I know the purpose of everyone’s visit, so I won’t waste time talking and will directly present the items for auction.

Version 0.1 of the Imitation Dark Void Technology. We have taken everyone’s financial resources into consideration so that everyone does not make a wasted trip.

Therefore, there are 10 versions from top to bottom.

And in each version, restrictions are made to only allow civilizations within the restricted range to bid.

The one I have now is the lowest version, which has the following functions:

After introducing the differences between each version in detail, Yuan Yin looked at everyone and said, "The base price is 1000 Yanhuang coins. You can make your bid now."

"Bichi!"

After seeing the restrictions and low prices, everyone present cursed in their hearts.

These restrictions caused those powerful civilizations to be kicked out directly.

Moreover, this low price also made those who could bid want to curse, because although these 1000 Yanhuang coins are not a lot.

But this thing is nothing to a civilization. Even the poorest interstellar civilization can grit its teeth and shell out the money.

But for those who want to buy a piece of technology privately, it is difficult.

After all, the physique of civilizations and families is different. Just because a civilization can afford this amount of money doesn’t mean that a family can afford it.

Without paying attention to others, after knowing the low price, many civilizations made bids, and soon the price of the first piece rose to 1550 Yanhuang coins.

Seeing that no one made any more bids, Yuan Yin immediately dropped the hammer.

"Congratulations to 3222 for winning the first lot. Next is the second lot, version 0.2, with a low price of 2000. Bidding starts now."

Seeing this, many people found something wrong. Wasn’t it said that they should not return empty-handed?

Why is there only one copy of each version now? When thinking of this, someone immediately asked.

Hearing this question, Yuan Yin smiled and said, "This is a good question. After the auction is over, I will give everyone a unified reply.

And this response will surely satisfy everyone, because we will uphold the belief of fairness and serve everyone. "

After saying that, Yuan Yin stopped talking nonsense and began to quickly signal everyone to bid.

In the crowd, Angel Yan looked at the chaotic venue and couldn't help but frowning in thought. She felt that Ye Chen must be up to something bad again.

This fairness thing is all bullshit.

She had seen Ye Chen's name Ye Hei before, and he had a black heart.

It would take the end of the world to make him kind.

"It's fair and just. He only bought one copy. Would this guy set the final price of the item in this auction to be the same level?"

While muttering to himself, Angel Yan's eyes became brighter and brighter, because with Ye Chen's black-hearted character, he would really do such a thing.

But after thinking about this operation, Angel Yan had to admit that this operation was really beautiful.

Because of the restrictions of the auction, we can clearly identify the approximate price range that is acceptable to people of different levels of civilization.

In this way, the final auction price, as the normal selling price, is a unified price, which is absolutely fair.

It will also make those poor civilizations bleed heavily.

This wave, it can be said, was a bloody mess from top to bottom.

After thinking through the details of this, Angel Yan couldn't help but feel a toothache.

Because she is a customer, this behavior is very unfriendly to them.

And even if she figured out the ins and outs of this, she wouldn't have any way to deal with it.

Because she couldn't be sure whether the version they shot was the only one.

After all, whether there is a second identical version, the initiative is in Ye Chen's hands.

The most important thing is that even if other people understand the ins and outs of this, they will not give up the real technology in front of them for the so-called speculation.

Thinking of this, Angel Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Black, really black, this is a blatant conspiracy that has calculated everyone clearly.

Bitch, people who scheme are all evil-minded. "

The reason why an open conspiracy is an open conspiracy is that you know clearly that the other party is setting a trap for you and telling you that he is going to trick you, but in the end you still have to jump into it.

Among the people present, Angel Yan was not the only one who could think of this matter. Many people also thought of the reasons behind it.

They wanted to join forces with others to bring the price down, but in the end the price still skyrocketed.

There is no way, these speculations are all speculations. Everyone speculates that the Yanhuang Empire will release more of the same version of technology in the future.

But this number is definitely limited.

And so many of you want this thing, and not just one copy, but many, many copies.

So the problem is, the total amount of things is constant, and when a civilization buys a lot of them, there are not enough left for everyone to share.

On this basis, everyone must strive to grab the existing share as much as possible.

So, cooperation at this moment is a complete joke.

Because there is no trust channel as a bridge.

Even if they are able to cooperate, there will be a lot of suspicion within the group, because at this moment everyone is a hunter with a gun, and they are all on guard against each other.

Looking at the strange atmosphere in the venue and the crowd that was secretly on guard against the other side, Bai Yuekui couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

"The Law of the Dark Forest of Talros!"

Hearing this, Xia Dou next to him asked in confusion: "Boss, what is the Law of Talros? What is that?"

At this time, Angel Yan and Reina also looked over with curiosity.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Bai Yuekui said, "Look at the people in the meeting room now. They are suspicious of each other, and there is an invisible chain of suspicion between everyone.

This means that even though many people know the hidden secrets of this auction, they are unable to cooperate to lower the price.

The person who came up with the rules for this auction must definitely be a master who has done in-depth research on human nature.

The Talros Dark Forest Law that I am talking about is a theory proposed by a science fiction writer named Talros long before our civilization.

At that time, our civilization was in the early stages of exploring the starry sky, and everyone had many fantasies about the universe.

But due to the limitations of technology and vision, we believe that the highest speed in the universe is only the speed of light, and superluminal speed is just a fantasy technology.

Therefore, under the premise that the highest speed in the universe is only the speed of light, communication between civilizations must be very inconvenient.

So if one civilization discovers another civilization in a universe that is often several or dozens of light years away.

The two sides can only communicate once every ten years, so if it were you, what would you think of that civilization?"

Having said that, Bai Yuekui looked at several people.

Hearing this, Angel Yan and Reina couldn't help but frown. This was the first time they heard of this theory.

After all, they all mastered the dark plane communication technology, so the situation that Bai Yuekui said would never happen. But think about it carefully, if there is no dark plane communication, or if there is no dark plane that reduces the boundaries of the universe, what will the universe look like now?

After simulating it in his mind, Angel Yan couldn't help but show some fear in his eyes.

Because if there really were no dark plane, the boundaries of the universe would be infinitely extended.

Especially before mastering the technology of space jump, communication among those civilizations was a very troublesome thing. Without any way to communicate, everyone was bound to have wild imaginations.

By then, they will inevitably be on guard against each other.

Or in order to prevent the coordinates of their own civilization from being exposed, they will launch an attack and destroy the other civilization as soon as they discover it.

Seeing the changes in their eyes, Bai Yuekui sighed and said, "I think you understand that when communication becomes a problem, everyone will involuntarily have wild thoughts.

This triggers people's instinctive defense against the unknown, leading to a disease called victim delusion.

At that time, everyone will worry about whether the other party will do something bad to themselves, and thus be full of distrust, which will lead to mutual suspicion and vigilance.

In addition, the development of civilization must inevitably expand outward, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged.

In this comparison, doesn’t it sound very similar to our current situation? There is a limited amount of Dark Void technology, but everyone wants more.

By then, there won’t be enough to share, which will cause everyone to become antagonistic and defensive, leading to the complete collapse of trust.

Without trust, there is no basis for cooperation, only mutual suspicion.

That’s why I said that the person who came up with this auction rule must be a master who has studied human hearts very deeply.”

"My god, this theory is something that humans can think of. If the universe is really like that, it would be too dark.

Fortunately, fortunately, there is a dark plane in our universe, and communication is very convenient, so there is no soil for this kind of theory to survive."

Reina patted her chest while saying this.

Looking at Reina, Angel Yan's mouth twitched involuntarily. She was not as optimistic as she was.

After succeeding the Angel King, she knew a lot of secrets, and the Yanhuang Empire was so averse to the dark plane.

But the Yanhuang Empire is not a fool, and it certainly knows the benefits of the dark plane.

Then, there is only one possibility, that is, the dark plane is poisonous, and it is extremely poisonous.

Therefore, this is why the Yanhuang Empire is so wary of the dark plane, as if it will completely cut off the connection with the dark plane at any time.

For this reason, over the years, many civilizations that have noticed this have been secretly allocating resources to the development of basic technology, hoping to learn from the Yanhuang Empire and walk on two legs.

In this way, even if something really goes wrong in the dark plane, they will not be completely ruined.

Angel Yan felt a headache when thinking about the problems in the dark plane. What if there really was a problem with the dark plane, or if the dark plane suddenly disappeared?

She felt that the scene in the universe at that time might really turn into the dark forest that Bai Yuekui described.

At this time, Angel Yan looked at the technology being auctioned, her eyes widened, and her heart couldn't help but pound.

There is a problem with the dark plane, and now the thing called the Dark Void Universe created by the Yanhuang Empire is not something similar to the dark plane.

Especially now that Ye Chen suddenly distributed this technology in large quantities, could it be that the other party discovered that there was a problem with the dark plane?

That's why the other party spread this technology so suddenly.

In this way, even if there is a problem with the dark plane or it disappears in the future, we can urgently connect the independent small dark void universes to form a large cosmic network covering the known universe.

In this way, the communication problem is solved.

In addition, the dark void universe allows human consciousness to enter it, simulating the real body one-to-one for communication.

By then, even if it is impossible to quickly cross the galaxy, each civilization will be able to control its own vast civilization territory and avoid unrest.

The more Angel Yan thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that things were exactly as she imagined.

It is said that imagination is the most deadly, and the ancients were not wrong.

If Ye Chen knew that he just wanted to sell something and earn some resources, but Tian Shi Yan made up so many stories in his mind, he would definitely give her the title of Master of Imagination.

Reina and others nearby were puzzled when they saw Angel Yan suddenly so excited and looked like he had everything under control.

Touching Reina with his arm, Bai Yuekui whispered, "What's wrong with her?!"

This question really stumped her. She was not familiar with Tian Shi Yan and had no idea what problem he had.

After thinking for a while, Lena pointed at Angel Yan to Bai Yuekui, and then pointed at her own head to make a gesture.

Seeing this, Bai Yuekui instantly reached level 10 in sign language comprehension and understood what Lena meant.

Then he looked at Angel Yan with some pity.

When Angel Yan calmed down, she saw Reina and the others looking at her with strange eyes.

"Why are you suddenly looking at me so strangely? Is there something on my face?"

"It's okay, we all understand, you don't need to explain."

As she said this, Reina couldn't help but sigh and patted Angel Yan's shoulder.

Angel Yan: "????"

Do these people have any serious illness?
Seeing Angel Yan's puzzled look, Reina and the others couldn't help but laugh.

Of course, they didn't think that Angel Yan was sick, they just wanted to make a prank on him.

"Okay, you guys are playing a joke on me!"

At this moment, Angel Yan had no idea what was going on, which made her speechless.

She was too lazy to bother with these little girls whose worth wasn't even a fraction of hers.

No matter how much they play or make noise, they know when to stop, knowing that too much is as bad as too little.

However, after this commotion, the weird atmosphere between the few people disappeared and they gradually became familiar with each other.

In addition, the personalities of these people really get along very well, and there is also a happy-go-lucky Xia Dou among them.

As time passed, the auction came to an end, and finally before it ended, it was just as they expected.

The final bid price for this auction item will be set as the sales price of the same version.

The highest version of Dark Void Technology was obtained by Angel Yan, and the price was undoubtedly raised to a terrifying level.

After the handover, Angel Yan looked at the ball of light in his hand, put it away, and prepared to go back and take another look.

When she came out, she saw Reina and the others waiting for her, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you still here? Aren't you in a hurry to go to other trading markets?"

Hearing this, Reina shook her head and said, “No need to go, there is no highest version in the trading market.

But just after the auction, Ye Chen's secretary general suddenly sent me a message, saying that she had it somewhere."

Hearing this, Angel Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They actually guessed it right.

Ye Chen, that bastard, is really a jerk! (End of this chapter)
