In the rebel alliance, Luo Jie learned a lot of new things, and he has always been very comfortable. However, this does not mean that he really trusts Duran, in fact, he has been secretly trying to find a way to investigate the truth of the rebel alliance.

Luo Jie didn't believe what Duran said about overthrowing the human regime and the Trisolan system, he felt that Duran must have some ulterior secrets.

Of course, this doesn't mean that no one in the rebel alliance can be trusted, Luo Jie feels that his netizen Gaia can still be trusted, because she cares about the wandering plan, and she is also the person who hopes to promote the wandering plan the most among everyone.

So she trusts whoever can help her facilitate the wandering plan. Luo Jie found that Gaia was actually very easy to read and had a simple purpose, so he needed her help.

To find out the truth about the rebel alliance, Luo Jie needs the help of insiders. He had discovered that there were many areas of the base that were not open to him, and only high-level keycards could be opened.

So Luo Ji went to Gaia: "Do you really believe that the rebel alliance can realize the wandering plan through rebellion?"

"Isn't that possible?"

"Of course not, because rebellion will lead to civil war, humanity will consume a lot of people and resources, and even if the final unified government fails, humanity will not have enough capacity to complete the plan. Luo Ji said: "So rebellion is not the best way to complete the plan. ”

Gaia looked at Luo Ji: "When Duran said that he would use the sword bearer button to complete the plan, you also objected. Now that you are rebelling, you still have to oppose it, and I doubt your determination to carry out the wandering plan. ”

Luo Jie thought to himself, you can't wander for the sake of wandering, the wandering plan is to protect the human race, how can it become an inevitable option?" ”

Gaia shook her head in disappointment: "It's you who don't understand." "She is the earth itself, so she naturally knows that staying in the solar system will definitely die, and human beings can still build spaceships to send away some human beings, but the earth can't escape and can only die in the end.

The wandering plan is insurance for humans, but it is a lifesaver for the planet.

Luo Jie really didn't understand.

Gaia said: "The wandering plan must be carried out, if you humans don't carry it out, you can only let the Trisolarans carry it out." "Anyway, it makes no difference to Gaia whether the earth is inhabited by humans or trisolarans. What she needs is the ability to leave the solar system so she can travel the universe safely.

In fact, with the planetary engine, it doesn't matter if life on the surface is extinct, and then Gaia will already be able to fly on its own. Of course, Gaia won't really exterminate life, because planetary engines will definitely need maintenance personnel.

Where Gaia gives civilization to live, civilization has to help Gaia do a good job to make sure that the planetary engines can work.

Only a civilization that maintains planetary engines is a civilization that is good for the planet.

Therefore, even the safest way to protect oneself is to exterminate the earth's civilization, prevent the earth's civilization, and avoid the destruction of the earth by advanced civilizations. But Gaia is not willing to stay in the solar system forever, because the life span of the planet is long, and the earth may even exist longer than the sun. If the sun explodes, the earth will still be finished.

Coupled with Gaia's curiosity about the universe and must be explored outward, then there can be no lack of planetary engines, and there can be no lack of civilizations that maintain engines.

The cost is that there is a civilization on the surface, which means that the possibility of being wiped out by an advanced civilization increases. Then you should master mobility and run if you can.

That's why Gaia is so active in promoting the plan, but unfortunately Luo Jie doesn't understand.

Luo Jie looked at the excited Gaia and reassured: "I know, I am also willing to help, but Duran has restricted my movements. You help me first, and then I'll help you, okay?"

Gaia said, "What do you want me to help you?"

"Keycard, I need a high-level keycard so that I can better understand Duran's thoughts and help you better. Luo Jie carefully observed Gaia's expression, not knowing if she would help.

Gaia helped: "It turned out that I just wanted this thing, simple. ”

Luo Jie got the door card very smoothly, and then quietly began to explore the secrets of the base with Anya in the middle of the night.

This secret must be impossible for them to accept. Because this base is only used as a cover for rebellion, the real purpose of its existence is actually reproduction.

It is not a general reproduction, but a hybrid between humans and trisolarans.

The inaccessible space is filled with petri dishes, full of reproductive organs of humans and trisolarans.

When Luo Jie and Anya saw all this, they were already stunned, they finally knew what Duran was going to do, he planned to break the reproductive isolation between humans and trisolarans.

Anya only felt disgusted, human beings actually wanted to defile the noble three-body people in this way, Duran was really too evil. In Anya's heart, the three-body person is a human being, and humans are just dog-like animals, and Duran's experiment is as if he wants people to have children with dogs, which is simply disgusting.

But Luo Jie was more sensible, and he thought that if the reproductive barrier between the two civilizations was broken, then there was indeed the possibility of integration. There are many examples of assimilation through intermarriage in history, and there are many examples on the earth of refusal to marry with foreigners for the sake of the purity of their own people.

Although the experiment is evil and the idea is terrifying, it is indeed a bold common sense.

However, although he can understand Duran's thoughts, through the various organs in the laboratory and Duran's cover-up, Luo Jie believes that Duran's experiment is still inhumane.

"We have to leave. Anya thought to herself that this information must be told to the Trisolar, and only in this way can Duran be prevented from continuing to practice the noble Trisolaran.

It's a pity it's too late.

"It's all this age, do you think we don't have surveillance in our base?" Duran suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

"Duran, is this your real purpose? rebellion is fake, your true face is to merge humans and trisolarans. Luo Jie was really frightened by Duran's idea, because the truth is the truth, and whether he can accept it or not is another matter.

Anya felt disgusted, and Luo Jie couldn't accept it very much.

"Lao Tzu said: Lost morality and then virtue, loss of virtue and then benevolence, loss of benevolence and then courtesy, husband and courtesy, the head of the faithful thin and chaotic. Duran quoted the content of the Tao Te Ching: "Etiquette is the various rules that human beings set for themselves, and in the end, many rules are accepted and misinterpreted as 'morality', which is habitual persecution." When people became accustomed to the existence of rituals, the persecution of rituals became an indispensable necessity for future generations. "Look at your expressions now, you have deviated from the first path of life, completely trapped by the shackles set up by human beings themselves, if you can't bravely go out, you will have no place to survive in this cruel universe. ”

If it weren't for Duran's ability to be a demon, Luo Jie would have almost been persuaded by the other party, he had seen Duran's eloquence, and he could really reverse black and white.

However, what happened next would make Roger change his mind, and that was the Return of the Bronze Age.

Four ships were in pursuit of the defected Natural Selection, and a total of five ships escaped the attack of the droplets. But in the end, because of the chain of suspicion, the five ships killed each other, leaving only the "Bronze Age" and "Quantum".

Humanity has been at peace for twenty years, and during that time they have already begun to be recalled, and the Bronze Age is a little faster, and is already on its way back, and will be back soon.

And what will happen next is the 'rite' and the 'Tao'.

'Li' is the law that peaceful earthlings follow.

'Dao' is a difficult choice made by the Bronze Age in the cruel cosmic environment. They robbed their fellow citizens of their resources, used the corpses of their compatriots as food reserves, and struggled in the universe by all means.
