"So, the point of all this is to be able to reach communication?"

"That's right. This is another point of view. They believe that the reason why there is a 'pumping law' is because civilizations in different dimensions have not formed effective communication - no, it should be that weak civilizations in other dimensions have not learned the language of strong civilizations."

"Look, cockroaches are something that all of us hate. We want to kill them all, but if one day your cockroaches suddenly line up on the ground with the words "Hello, I don't eat your food, I will be self-reliant, I will stop reproduction on a large scale," would you still kill them without hesitation?"

"...I will -- of course, I may use them to study for a while and then kill them later."

Looking at the cunning smile on Lin Ling's face, Ye Zhou reacted instantly.

Yes, this is the real purpose of the pet sect--they are actually not willing to be pets forever, their purpose is to win time.

From this point of view, their goals are consistent with the Pastoral Organisation, but their strategies are more sophisticated than the Pastoral Organisation.

"It seems that the Western world is not completely useless... But they still haven't solved the most core problem. The contradiction between the two dimensions is irreconcilable. What if one day we achieve a technological leap and invent the water pump?"

"A civilization is different from a pet after all. Pets have an upper limit, and the development of civilization can almost be said to be without upper limit."

Lin Ling nodded and replied:

"So this is a theory that is still being improved. Building a connection is just the first step. After that, they can try to convince the other party to let us survive through various means. To be honest, there is no obvious disadvantage to us in establishing a connection. Anyway, even if we don't contact, they will still kill us."

"However, I still don't like this path--I don't like being someone else's pet, even for a second."

"Yes, I don't want to be a pet either. What's more, this is not the only way."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Ye Zhou continued:

"The flaws in this theory are very big. For example, some of us always chat with ants, flies, etc. If the social system of adjacent civilization is similar to ours, this situation should also happen, but the problem is that we have never received such information..."

"No, we've received it."

Lin Ling interrupted Ye Zhou's words.

"We must have received it, but we just can't understand it."

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment and did not refute again.

At this time, most of the dishes on the table were placed. The two of them moved their chopsticks. Lin Ling said while eating the meat in his mouth:

"The theory of the symbiotic school is one of the more reliable ones in the nearest adjacent dimensions. Their goals are clear and the path in scientific research is also clear--after all, we have observed quantum ghosts, so further expansion on this basis will not be too big of a problem in technical realization."

"In addition to the symbiotic school, there are many strange theories appearing in the center. Some have theoretical foundations, but some are purely fantasy."

"Speak up?"

Ye Zhou asked with great interest.

Lin Ling opened her mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly coughed suddenly. Ye Zhou quickly poured her tea, and then subconsciously patted her on the back. After a while, she finally recovered.

"Sorry... I choked. There are many, for example, some people say that they should use spiritual methods to solve this problem, so that humans can turn into souls to travel to another dimension; for example, some people say that they should use singularity explosion to open up all dimensions, connect the ponds represented by all dimensions into one, and achieve energy balance; there is another, I think it is the most operational - of course this is relative to all these whimsical ideas - but it is also the craziest."

“What is it?”

"This theory was proposed by Shidjeff, a very famous high-energy physicist in Ugly Country. He believes that the energy conversion between adjacent dimensions is likely to be related to antimatter."

"That is, there is a 'film' between two dimensions. This film is composed of enriched antimatter. When matter from a universe hits antimatter, the energy generated by annihilation will radiate into both dimensions at the same time."

"The energy extraction of adjacent dimensions is not actually a real extraction, but to a certain extent, they can control the movement of the positive matter on their side and prevent their positive matter from flowing to this membrane."

"This theory also explains two problems in the universe where both the uneven or antimatter matter is not allowed to exchange matter between adjacent dimensions, and also explains how adjacent dimensions perform energy extraction."

"The extraction is not really extraction, but building a dam in a specific area. Building a dam stops the water on one side from overflowing. At the same time, the water from another pond is randomly overflowing. Over time, will the energy in another dimension be reduced?"

"Anyway, this is a theory developed from Maxwell's Fairy Theory. At present, there are huge loopholes. For example, he cannot explain why humans have not observed large-scale annihilation energy of positive and anti-matter - but he also made some speculations. He believes that such annihilation is likely to occur in the dark matter area."

"But whether the theory is correct or not is not the point, the point is the words he said, which is amazing."

"What did he say?"

Ye Zhou knew that this man named Shidjeff was the first meeting on the crisis of the neighboring state. He had attended as a representative of the ugly country. More importantly, this man was also a close friend of Bruce Conn, the leader of the Hermes organization. He also didn't know how he survived the other party was wanted worldwide.

“He said that the key to solving the problem of adjacent dimensions is to interrupt the other party’s motivation.”

"The origin of the adjacent dimensional civilization is to ensure its own survival, the secondary motivation is to destroy other dimensional civilizations, and the second-level motivation is to absorb energy. This is a progressive relationship. As long as we interrupt a certain motivation at the time when it is generated, we can terminate all subsequent crises."

"So, combined with his theory, he felt that if the result of the motivation for absorbing energy contrary to what the neighboring civilization expects, then they can't take the next move."

"Didn't you say it before? He believes that there is a membrane composed of antimatter between the two dimensions, and positive matter cannot pass through it, but what if we can artificially create a large amount of antimatter?"

"These antimatter bombs can pass through that membrane and directly pose a threat to neighboring civilizations -- just like our strategic nuclear missiles."

After listening to Lin Ling's explanation, Ye Zhou shook his head and said with a smile:

"This is even more naive than the pet sect. Not to mention how we create antimatter bombs, even if they are made, how can we accurately drop these bombs into the places we want to drop?"

"So, this is his own problem. However, he came up with a solution to this problem."

“What solution?”

"Reversal of the material properties of the entire universe."

Ye Zhou was stunned in an instant, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

After a long time, he asked in disbelief:

"You mean, he wants to turn our entire universe into a giant bomb?"

"Yes."

Lin Ling nodded and continued:

"This is the ultimate deterrent. Think about it, if we are really all made up of antimatter, who dares to draw our energy? We can directly penetrate the antimatter membrane, rush into their dimensions, and blow their world up."

Ye Zhou frowned slightly, as if he had grasped the loophole in this strategy.

"But the question is, if this is the case, wouldn't we become public enemies of all civilizations? Think about it, a civilization that may bring destruction at any time cannot allow it to survive in this world for a long time, right?"

A sly smile appeared on Lin Ling's face again. She took a sip of tea and then said:

"This is what I think is the most interesting thing about this plan---we don't really have to turn it into antimatter all."

Hearing this sentence, Ye Zhou suddenly realized.

Yes, nuclear-capable countries do not necessarily need nuclear, but only have the technology to build nuclear bombs in a short period of time.

Similarly, antimatter deterrence does not necessarily need to be really converted into antimatter, but only needs to fire an artificial antimatter bomb at any position in the other party's dimension.

The explosion of that bomb is a signal, a signal that humans have mastered antimatter conversion technology.

As long as the civilizations in adjacent dimensions receive this signal, they will never perform energy extraction again, because they don’t know whether the ones drawn are energy or bombs.

Of course, the basis of all this is based on the fact that Shidjeff's "antimatter membrane" is correct.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou asked:

"So, from your professional point of view, do you think his theory is possible?"

Lin Ling shook his head and replied:

"I don't know. This theory has a fatal flaw, which is the need to introduce the concept of 'dark matter' that is currently unexplained in physics."

"An important principle of scientific research is to do not add entities if it is not necessary, but now, he has added entities to his theory."

"This makes it even more difficult for us to judge the correctness of this theory--but time will tell everything."

"The research on adjacent dimension problems is still in its infancy, and various novel theories are emerging. Who knows which one is correct?"

"Maybe one day in the future, we can really use an antimatter bomb to deter all other civilizations, or not."

Ye Zhou nodded silently, grabbed a large piece of beef from the plate and put it into Lin Ling's bowl, and then spoke:

"Eat, eat more, the future of mankind depends on you."

Lin Ling smiled and replied:
