When Pang Xuelin woke up again, the first thing he smelled was the smell of disinfectant potion.

I could still faintly hear people talking, some saying Chinese, some saying English, as if arguing about something.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and what caught his eye was the snow-white ceiling, Pang Xuelin turned his head, next to the hospital bed, a blonde nurse was changing his dressing, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You're awake!" ”

"Where am I?"

"This is New York University Medical Center, you've been in a coma for three days, you wait a minute, I'll go outside and call someone, someone wants to see you!"

With that, the nurse put the changed infusion bag in the tray and walked out of the room.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the ward, and then several unfamiliar faces appeared in front of Pang Xuelin's eyes.

It's a strange combination.

At the forefront is a Chinese face, stout, full of flesh, wearing a navy blue jacket, which at first glance belongs to the hob meat that has been crawling and rolling in society for many years.

He was followed by two other men, both blonde and white-eyed.

One of them was dressed in a U.S. military uniform with a big belly, typical of middle-aged white American men, while the other was a European-faced, neatly dressed and well-mannered man who looked somewhat like a high-ranking official.

The Chinese man who walked in front was the first to speak up: "Mr. Pang, hello, I am Shi Qiang, the Chinese commander of Operation Guzheng, this is Colonel Stanton, a NATO military observer, and this is Mr. Kante, the UN liaison officer!" ”

The man spoke Chinese, and Kanter and Stanton, who were following him, seemed to understand, and there was nothing unusual on their faces.

Pang Xuelin couldn't help but be slightly stunned, although he had long guessed the identity of the middle-aged man, he didn't expect that the three people he saw were all famous characters in "The Three-Body Problem".

Colonel Stanton is the first part of the game, and Kanter is the liaison officer for the wall-facing Rogue in the second part of The Dark Forest.

The most important thing is the police officer Shi Qiang Shi in front of him, in the first and second parts of "The Three-Body Problem", he can almost be called the best supporting role.

In the first part, in addition to helping the protagonist Wang Miao join the scientific boundary organization and finally arrest ETO commander Ye Wenjie, he also single-handedly planned Operation Guzheng.

That is, the flying blade material was arranged on both sides of the Gaillard waterway of the Panama Canal, and finally the "Judgment Day" was cut into more than 30 pieces when the "Judgment Day" passed by.

In the second part, he became the most powerful assistant of Luo Ji who faced the wall, saved Luo Ji's life many times, and also helped Luo Ji find his dream lover.

"Officer Shi, Colonel Stanton, Mr. Kanter, hello!"

Pang Xuelin said.

Stanton nodded at Pang Xuelin.

Kanter smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Pang, we have received the email you sent, thank you for your contribution to human civilization!" We came over today and had a few things to confirm with you. ”

Pang Xuelin's expression was indifferent, and he didn't show much surprise, he estimated that in the past few days of being in a coma, his information had already been investigated.

At present, the hard disk that stores the data of the Three-Body Civilization has been destroyed, and the information about the Three-Body Civilization obtained by human beings is all second-hand materials that have passed through the hands of Pang Xuelin, not to mention that Pang Xuelin was once one of the core members of the ETO Advent faction, and if the human side has any doubts, it is the best choice to find yourself.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask." ”

"Then you're welcome!"

Shi Qiang was really polite, and directly pulled a bench and sat down in front of the hospital bed.

Kanter and Stanton also seemed to know Shi Qiang's temperament, and didn't say much, but Kante took the initiative to put a voice recorder next to Pang Xuelin's pillow.

Shi Qiang said: "Mr. Pang, the first question, we want to know, in the information you sent us about the three-body civilization, is it only part of the information or has it been all included?" ”

Pang Xuelin said: "The email contains all the information. It's a pity that the hard disk that stored the original information of the Three-Body Civilization data has been burned by Fred, so there is no way to verify it, but the data in the email was uploaded by me, and I can guarantee this. ”

Shi Qiang nodded, and then asked: "Mr. Pang, the second question, we want to know why you chose to betray ETO, you must know that the Advent faction is an extreme faction in ETO, and your approach is very surprising to us." ”

Kanter, who was on the side, hurriedly added: "Mr. Pang, we don't mean to distrust you, your actions have proven your loyalty to human civilization, we are just curious, why did you make such a choice?" ”

Pang Xuelin smiled, and had already prepared his words: "You should have investigated me and knew my background, right?" ”

Kante and Strong looked at each other and nodded.

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly, and according to the memory instilled in him by the system, he told the three of them his reasons: "I am an orphan and grew up in a welfare home. Children who grow up in welfare homes have more or less eccentric personalities, or they have very strong self-esteem, whether they are given sympathetic or disgusted glances by others, they do not like them; Either they just like to be immersed in their own world, and they don't care about everything around them, including the gaze of others. I fall into the latter category. ”

"I've always loved working with numbers since I was a kid, and they seem to have a unique charm that fascinates me, and I've spent most of my life in math. I did very poorly in other subjects in secondary school, and I only got perfect marks in math. Later, I was recommended by our school mathematics teacher to participate in the mathematics competition, and I won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad in the city, province, and then to the national team, and then to Budapest, and was sent to Mizuki University. ”

"When I was a sophomore, I got a scholarship to go to Princeton for an exchange, and as you may have figured out, it came from Evans' foundation. Because of my special aptitude for mathematics, after graduating from my Ph.D., I was pulled into the ETO by Evans. At that time, Evans would often ask me what I thought of human civilization, and I said that I had no opinion of human civilization, and the survival of human civilization did not mean anything to me, including now. I just wanted a place where I could study math in peace, so Evans sent me to the Judgment Day. If something happens after this trial, I thought that ETO would be finished, so I will copy this information and send it to you. Whether I go to jail or be released, I just hope that I can have a space to study mathematics with peace of mind. ”

Kante and Shi Qiang couldn't help but look at each other, a little crying and laughing, they never thought that Pang Xuelin would give such an answer.

But after combining Pang Xuelin's life experience, they felt that such an answer was reasonable.

Kanter said with a smile: "Mr. Pang, how could we possibly let you go to prison, after you joined the ETO, not only did you do anything against humanity, but made great contributions at a critical moment, it is impossible for us to criticize the meritorious people." When you're healed, I can arrange for you to teach at any university or do research. ”

Pang Xuelin said lightly: "Mr. Kante, then I'll trouble you!" ”

Kante said: "You're welcome, Mr. Pang, by the way, there is another question I want to ask you." ”

Pang Xuelin said: "What's the problem? ”

Kanter said: "We have all read the information about the three-body civilization, including Zhizi's monitoring of the earth and the direct communication of the three-body people with transparent thinking, etc., I would like to ask Mr. Pang, do you have any suggestions on how to deal with the invasion of the three-body people in the future?" ”

Pang Xuelin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Are you consulting me in your personal name or in the name of the United Nations?" ”

Kante and Shi Qiang glanced at each other, looking a little surprised.

"That's what the new UN Secretary-General, Ms. Say, means, and she wants to hear your views," Kanter said. ”

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "All our conversations now are under the supervision of Zhizi, don't you think there is no point in asking such a question?" ”

Kanter smiled bitterly: "No matter what the end of humanity will be, there are some things that must start with our generation!" ”

Pang Xuelin was silent for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then I will talk about my own opinion!" Although the Trisolarans can use Zhizi to monitor the world, whether it is documents, computers, or various storage devices, they are all under its monitoring. But there is a place that is forbidden to them. ”

"Where?"

Kante was slightly stunned.

Pang Xuelin pointed to his head and said, "Our brains!" ”

He paused and continued: "The Three-Body People are transparent in their thinking, which makes them very incompetent in terms of schemes, disguises, and deception, which is a huge strategic advantage of human civilization over the Three-Body Civilization. I suggest that in addition to the mainstream defense plan, select a group of strategic plan makers and leaders, these strategic plans only exist in the brains of the formulators, they make strategic plans according to their own thinking, do not do any kind of communication with the outside world, the real strategic ideas of the plan, the completion steps and the final purpose are hidden in their brains, we can call them wall-facers, this ancient Eastern meditator name is a good reflection of the characteristics of their work. ”

Kanter looked at Pang Xuelin in surprise, with a look of shock in his eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt the subtlety of Pang Xuelin's plan.

Originally, he was just going through the motions, but Ms. Say asked him to consult Pang Xuelin for advice, but she felt that Pang Xuelin had been in ETO for a longer time and was more familiar with the three-body civilization.

He didn't expect that Pang Xuelin would put forward such a highly feasible and threatening strategic plan.

Shi Qiang, who was on the side, also showed a look of amazement on his face for the first time, and said, "Dr. Pang, you are the wisest human being I have ever seen!" Good thing we're not enemies! ”

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and did not speak.

Even if he doesn't mention the anti-frontal plan, someone will bring it up sooner or later.

It's better to throw this plan out as soon as possible, maybe it can mix up some benefits.
