Chapter 164: Luo Ji's Choice
The audience burst into warm applause.
The news came to an abrupt end here, Luo Ji turned off the TV, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
As a Chinese, my mood at the moment is to return to the motherland immediately to have a look.
Luo Ji's thoughts returned to Luo Ji's opinion, everything that happened today was so unusual, first of all, he was selected as the wall-facing person without prior notice, God knows what is special about him, compared with the first three wall-facing people, he is an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary. The second is that he announced on the spot that he would give up the identity of the person facing the wall, and he didn't encounter the slightest obstacle, everything seemed so weird.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji felt that all this would not be so simple, picked up the phone, and made a call to Da Shi, Da Shi said: "Your security measures, we have handed over to the United Nations to be responsible, you can contact Kante, you have met before." ”
Luo Ji took the phone number given to him by Dashi and called Kante, who was not far from the hotel where he was staying, and when he received a call from Luo Ji, he immediately rushed to the hotel where Luo Ji lived.
Kante soon arrived at the hotel and knocked on the door of Roji, who let him in, and he regained the polite expression of a United Nations official.
Kante didn't sit down, but stood up and said to Luo Ji, "Dr. Luo Ji, I wanted to wait until your body recovered before coming to see you. ”
Luo Ji said: "What are you doing to see me? I'm looking for you to tell you that I'm not a wall-facing person anymore, so the security measures regarding me can be removed. ”
Kanter was still that polite, nodded and said, "Okay, Dr. Luo Ji, now I am in charge of your daily liaison with the Planetary Defense Council, and you can contact me directly for anything." ”
"But I'm not a wall-facing person anymore!" Luo Ji said loudly, and then asked, "Isn't the news of the Wall Project released?" ”
Kanter said: "Yes, it has been released to the world. ”
Luo Ji continued to ask, "Then what about my refusal to do the things of the wall-facers?" ”
Kante replied: "Of course it's in the news. ”
Luo Ji asked, "What did you say?" ”
Kanter said: "It's simple: after the end of this special session of the General Assembly, Luo Ji declared that he rejected the identity and mission of the wall-faced. ”
Luo Ji felt like he was going crazy, obviously he had already announced his identity as the one who gave up the wall, why was this Kante still responsible for his daily contact with the United Nations? So he asked, "Then what are you still doing here?" ”
Kante repeated what had just left Luo Ji speechless: "I'm in charge of your day-to-day contacts. ”
Luo Ji didn't want to continue to entangle with him, and said: "I want to see the Secretary-General of the United Nations." ”
Kanter said with a glance: "The specific command and execution body of the Wall Plan is the Planetary Defense Council, and the supreme leader is the rotating chairman of the PDC, and the UN Secretary-General has no direct leadership relationship with the PDC. ”
Luo Ji thought for a while and said, "I'd better see the secretary general, I should have this power." ”
"Okay, wait a minute." Kante turned and walked out of the room, and soon returned, saying, "The secretary general is waiting for you in the office, shall we leave?" ”
Luo Ji nodded.
After a while, Kanter took Luo Ji to the office of the United Nations Secretary-General Say.
As soon as Luo Ji walked into the house, "I want to go back to China, if I am in danger, please report to the New York Police Department on my behalf, they will be responsible for my safety, I am just an ordinary citizen, I don't need PDC to protect me." ”
Say nodded again: "Of course it can be done." However, I would recommend that you accept the current protection, which is more professional and reliable than the New York police. ”
"Answer me honestly: Am I still a wall-facer?"
Say returned to his desk, stood under the UN flag, and smiled at Luo Ji: "What do you think? ”
At the same time, she gestured to the sofa and asked Luo Ji to sit down.
Luo Ji found that the smile on Say's face was familiar, he had seen it on the face of the young murderer, and in the future, he would also see it on the face and gaze of everyone who faced him. This smile came to be known as the "smile of the person on the other side", and it would be as famous as the smile of the Mona Lisa and the toothy grin of the Cheshire Cat. Say's smile finally calmed Luo Ji down, and it was the first time he had truly calmed down since she announced to the world on the podium of the special session of the General Assembly that he had become a wall-facer. He sat down slowly on the couch, and as soon as he sat down, he understood everything.
Oh, my God!
In just an instant, Luo Ji realized the essence of the identity of the wall-facing person. As Say has said, it is impossible to ask for advice from those who are going to undertake such a mission before it is delivered; And once the mission and identity of the wall-facing person are given, it is impossible to refuse or give up. This impossibility does not come from anyone's compulsion, but is a cold logic determined by the nature of the wall-facing plan, because when a person becomes a wall-facer, an invisible and impenetrable barrier is immediately established between him and ordinary people, and all his actions have the meaning of the wall-facing plan, just like the meaning expressed by the smile of the wall-facing person:
How do we know if you're already working?
Luo Ji now finally understands that the Wall-Facing is the weirdest mission ever seen in history, its logic cold and perverted, but as strong as the iron ring that locks Prometheus. It's an irrevocable spell, and it's impossible for the Wall-Facing to break it on their own. No matter how much he struggled, everything was given the meaning of the wall-facing plan in the smile of the person facing the wall:
How do we know if you're working?
A surge of anger that he had never felt before surged into Luo Ji's heart, and he wanted to scream hoarsely, to greet the mother of Said and the United Nations, to all the delegates of the Special General Assembly and the Mother of the Planetary Defense Council, to the mother of all mankind, and finally to the mother of the Trisolaran, which did not exist. He wanted to jump up and smash things, first throwing the papers, the globe, and the bamboo pen holder on Say's desk, and then tearing the blue flag to shreds...... But Luo Ji finally understood what this place was, who he was facing, and finally controlled himself, stood up and threw himself back on the sofa again.
"Why choose me? than the three of them. I don't have any qualifications. I have no talent, no experience, I have never seen a war, and I have never led a country; I'm not an accomplished scientist either, just a university professor who eats on a few papers; I'm a drunken person who doesn't want children myself, who the cares about the continuation of human civilization...... Why me? Luo Ji began to cover his head with his hands as he spoke, and finally jumped up from the sofa.
"We are not authorized to tell you anything else, and we will meet all your requests," Say said. ”
Finally, Luo Ji compromised, he said: "I want to go back to my home country, see their plans, and see how they develop the immortal cultivation civilization, since I can't quit the wall-facing project, then please help me contact the head of Huaxia." ”
"It's a simple request, and we'll do it right away," Say said. ”
A day later, Luo Ji met Tang Yi, the head of Huaxia, and the legendary immortal Jiang Nan in the Great Hall of Huaxia.
Although Huaxia has announced its withdrawal from the United Nations' Wall Facing Project and has its own cultivation plan, it is still the same human being as other countries, so the relationship between them is very good. Therefore, Luo Ji, who was facing the wall, asked to see Tang Yi and Jiang Nan through the United Nations, and Hua Xia Guo quickly agreed and arranged a time.
Luo Ji looked at the three people opposite, sitting on the left was Tang Yi, the head of Huaxia Kingdom, seeing this legendary leader comparable to the founding leader, Luo Ji was still very excited, but at this time he was the one facing the wall, and his power was not even below Tang Yi. And sitting in the middle is Jiang Nan, Luo Ji feels that this is the most perfect man he has ever seen in his life. To the left of this man, there is a Western woman, and the image is very similar to the goddess of war in myths and legends.
Tang Yi spoke first and said, "Luo Ji, is it?" I heard that you have been chosen as the face of the wall, congratulations. ”
Luo Ji said: "This is probably the most ridiculous thing I have experienced in the past few days, you know, I am the most ordinary ordinary person." ”
Tang Yi asked, "Do you really want to know why you became a wall-facing person?" ”
Luo Ji nodded and said, "I want to know in my dreams." ”
Tang Yi said: "Although I don't know this reason, the immortal sitting next to me must know. ”
Luo Ji turned his head to look at Jiang Nan, this was the first time he mustered up the courage to look at this immortal, no matter how powerful the other people were, there was no essential difference after all, and Jiang Nan's ability, Luo Ji had already seen it very clearly in the video on TV. Even the simultaneous bombardment of hundreds of shells couldn't hurt him in the slightest, and there was no doubt that he was with the immortals, but Luo Ji felt that compared to the three-body man, it might still be a little worse.
Luo Ji opened his mouth and asked, "Immortal, do you know the reason for this?" ”
Jiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to call me an immortal, I am also an ordinary earthling, I have practiced the exercises, and I have grown into what I am today after encountering some coincidences." And Diana next to me is the goddess of war who represents love and beauty in human legends, she was not born so powerful, and she has gone through countless years of cultivation, and finally after I taught her to practice the exercises, she has become so powerful now. ”
Luo Ji said: "What do you think of this wall-facing plan? Or what you do for Huaxia can truly save humanity. ”
Jiang Nan replied: "The Wall-Facing Project, in fact, is the same as the Fugitive Project, and in the end, it will be proven to be a crazy plan, but it can preserve a glimmer of life for humanity. And the reason why the wall-facing project was able to succeed in the end was mainly because you were among the wall-facers. ”
Luo Ji was surprised: "Then I don't understand even more, I'm so ordinary, why I can save the earth." ”
Jiang Nan smiled and said: "In fact, in the face of this disaster, those famous people are no different from you, but you have the truth of the development of Chinese in this universe in your hands, so you are also the only three-body person who explicitly ordered their resistance organization, that is, the earthlings that ETO would kill!" ”
Luo Ji said: "The three-body people want to kill me? Now I realized that the car accidents I had encountered before were not coincidences, they did it very cleverly, but it was a coincidence in every way. ”
Jiang Nan continued: "Actually, you know this biggest secret, but I don't realize that I know it, and I actually know it, but I can't say it now, this secret will be our biggest bargaining chip against the Three-Body Problem, maybe we can use this to obtain the technology of the Three-Body Problem, make breakthroughs, and even develop by leaps and bounds." ”
Tang Yi also said: "Yes, our Jiangnan idea is that it is best for the two civilizations to live in harmony, although we can't do too much work before the deterrence negotiation of the three-body people, but sending the exercises after the transformation of Jiangnan and organizing everyone to learn can play a role in making the human individual stronger." Perhaps in the future, there will be individuals among us who can match the current elite of the entire human civilization, like Jiangnan. Then whether we still need to fight against the Trisolaran or not, even if we have a place in the entire universe. ”
Jiang Nan nodded and said, "Tang Yi is right, although I can't say too much now, but you must know that there are actually many civilizations in this universe, not only the three-body civilization we discovered this time." ”
Under Tang Yi's arrangement, Luo Ji was treated as an envoy of other countries and lived in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
And Jiang Nan took Diana with him to implement his plan to teach earthlings the cultivation of immortals, but in fact, all this is just a pretense that a small number of people use to research large-yield nuclear weapons, which are launched into space to create a kind of dust to block the sun and be discovered by aliens.
Then there is also a signal transmitter that has also been put into research and development, this kind of signal transmitter can borrow the energy of the sun, broadcast the information on the earth in the universe, if the Trisolarans continue, it will inevitably be exposed, since they know the dark forest theory, they will definitely choose to negotiate with themselves at that time.
I hope that this time the human world will not encounter the horror of alien dimensionality reduction again.
At this time, the news of Jiangnan's appearance on the earth caused an uproar in the Trisolararan fleet four light years away.
The sociologists of the Trisolarans had a fierce debate, and some people believed that although Jiangnan's ability was far superior to that of other earthlings, it did not have an overwhelming advantage over the Trisolarans, and through the data transmitted by Zhizi, the combat power of him and the woman next to him was probably comparable to the most powerful starship on his side, and comparable to the medium-sized starship. Therefore, although one's own civilization may pay some price, it can still win human civilization.
The other part is to think
