If he finds other life, no matter whether it is a hunter or not, no matter whether it is an angel or a devil, no matter whether it is a delicate baby or a staggering old man, no matter whether it is a fairy-like girl or a god-like man, there is only one thing he can do: shoot and destroy it. In this forest, others are hell, an eternal threat, and any life that exposes its existence will be quickly destroyed." - This paragraph describes the "Dark Forest Law", which is the most core and shocking cosmology in the "Three-Body" series, showing the cruelty and ruthlessness of the survival competition between civilizations. 3.

This fearlessness can sometimes bring courage and progress, but more often it may lead to disasters. 4. Paragraph "There were two major troughs in human history. The first was due to the discovery of the dark side of human society, and the second was due to the discovery of the dark side of cosmic society. Both troughs plunged human society into confusion and panic, but also gave birth to new hope and change in confusion and panic. The first major trough made humans re-examine themselves and establish a more just and reasonable social system; the second major trough made humans re-examine the universe and began to explore the laws of cosmic civilization and cosmic society." - This paragraph summarizes the two major turning points in human history and points out the profound impact of these two turning points on the development of human society and civilization.
