One of the shorter cases in Sherlock Holmes was the "Dark Forest Law" in "The Three-Body Problem". The "Dark Forest Law" was a survival rule proposed by Liu Cixin in the "Three-Body Theory". Its core idea was the "chain of suspicion". This law believed that there was a strong mutual suspicion and defense mentality between civilizations in the universe. Therefore, if one party discovered the existence of the other party, it was likely to take the method of destroying the other party to protect itself. This rule of survival led to competition and conflict between civilizations in the universe, which greatly limited the development of civilizations. The 'Dark Forest Law' was consistent with the term 'Silent Majority', because most civilizations in the universe remained silent and were unwilling to expose their existence to avoid being attacked by other civilizations. The Dark Forest Law was also widely discussed and debated in the scientific community. Some people believe that this survival rule is an inevitable choice for civilizations in the universe, and this choice may become more and more obvious as time goes on. Others believed that this rule of survival did not apply to all civilizations and that its adaptability could be affected by various factors such as technological level, social system, and so on.
