17 Thousand Year Expedition

Following the Trisolaran, Bai He walked through an underground passage of several kilometers, getting closer and closer to the surface, and the temperature gradually decreased, indicating that the surface was still not warm enough, and this time the orbit of the Eternal Era seemed to be a little farther away from the star.

The temporary base was placed in the spaceship manufacturing plant, and the sturdy portal was tightly locked, and the Trisolarans opened the portal, took a careful look inside, and then walked in with Shirakawa.

At the portal of the spaceship, two short guys who were obviously not trisolarans threw another person who looked like an unconscious person on the ground outside the spaceship, and Bai He fixed his eyes and saw that it was two robots that were one size smaller than the Trisolaran.

The ecologist was slightly dissatisfied: "You should put him there well." ”

"There's not enough time left. The robot replied, "Seventy minutes from now is the scheduled take-off time." ”

“...... Who are you?" Listening to the dialogue released by the interpreter, Bai He looked at the two robots, a little shocked.

"This is the practical result of your theory, and it seems that you yourself are also surprised, calling yourself a monster of earthlings. The robot looked at Bai He and said directly in Chinese: "How is it? How does it feel to watch your theory become a reality? Thanks to you, the Trisolaran is over." ”

You have to finish without me, Bai He said that the pot is not on me: "This kind of chaos can only mean that the three-body people need my theory, and some people who are eager for quick success have taken advantage of him, which does not put the blame on me." ”

The robot fell into a strange silence, sensing the chaos in the distance, nodded slowly, and began to fall silent.

"Are they still alive?" noticing the slight ups and downs in the hearts of the three-body people who were thrown on the ground, Bai He asked curiously.

"They can't wake up. The robot replied lightly, "But I'm more curious about why you're here?"

"He's going to come with us. Ecologist said.

"It doesn't seem good. This prototype is too old, the target is less than a light year away, but we need five hundred Earth years of sailing time, and if he joins, we will need to stock up on more supplies in order to supply him, and more time in the middle to collect resources in the cosmic dust, which will probably double the voyage time. ”

"Is there a big difference between 500 years and 1,000 years for us now?" said Trisolara, "I think we can keep him, and I want to continue my research." ”

"You're right, time is about to become a meaningless thing for us, I already feel a little bit of that, come in, you're one of them. The robot nodded.

"Help me throw the body out of the ship in a moment. The three-body man said to the white dragon.

"Good. The white dragon happily agreed.

There is still a little and a half time before leaving, Bai Long doesn't want to stay on this war-torn planet, and now no one cares about him, and he doesn't know what will happen after the war.

He walked into the spaceship and watched the Trisolarans lie on top of a rudimentary instrument, and after about fifty minutes, the robot motioned to him.

"Is this the end?" Shirakawa was stunned.

"What do you think you should do?" the robot said, "This is the job he gave you." ”

Bai He threw the body of the Trisolarans out, and went back to see the robot take out a small glowing box from under the instrument: "What is this?"

"The quantum chip, which stores his brain. The robot said: "Now he has become the same existence as us, and the transformation is going well, thanks to you." ”

"Is the transformation smooth?

"The success rate of a conversion is about 40 percent. ”

"What about the failures?"

"Brain death, schizophrenia, paralysis, and much more interesting. The robot said in a tone of black humor: "There are a few unlucky people who have failed to process when their consciousness is transmitted halfway, half of their consciousness has been successfully transformed, and half of their consciousness has remained in their semi-necrotic brains, turning from a guy with a normal IQ to two mentally retarded people with a lack of logic." ”

"Ahem. Bai He coughed: "It's so dangerous, are you still willing to accept it?"

"Yes, the people of our Aerospace Harbor collaborated with several research institutes to conspire with this plan, and none of the members refused to convert. In order to fight for the priority of transformation, some people even fought, alas~ they all know that the sooner they participate in transformation, the more immature the technical environment they will face. The highest failure rate was in those days, but they still went forward, and in order to survive, all the Trisolarans went crazy. The robot sighed: "It is said that the government army has now decided to partially open the transformation, so that this war will continue, and there are now 1627 compatriots in the spacecraft who have successfully transformed, and they have unanimously decided to leave the Trimaran Star." ”

"So much. Bai He was taken aback, so calculated that at least five thousand Trisolarans were involved in this matter, and the loyalty of these Trisolarans to the home planet was really worth complaining about.

But it's not unreasonable to think about it, the unity of the Trisolarans is based on the existential crisis of destroying civilization at any time, and the Earth Conquest Plan is essentially sacrificing the future of generations of Trisolarans to open the way for the expeditionary fleet, but once it is found that this sacrifice is unnecessary, and the way of life suddenly appears in front of you and is within reach, this loyalty and unity is very debatable.

"Without the transformation form, this ship could hold up to a hundred people, but now it has a lot of free cabins to fit you. The robot handed the chip to another robot: "Unfortunately I can't tell you where the chip is, you can move freely in the subcompartment, but it's better not to go anywhere else, if you enter a sensitive area, the defense system will attack you just to be safe." ”

"Totally understandable. ”

"In addition, due to the limited supply of materials, after a certain amount of supply to you, we may use organic matter recycling technology to provide you with new supplies, and the conservative estimate is about 50 Earth years later, you hope you don't mind. ”

In other words, after 50 years, you will start eating, but fortunately, my brother will be gone in a little more than a month.

"No problem. Shirakawa nodded in acceptance,

"As for your status and other treatment on the spaceship, we more than a thousand Trisolarans still have to discuss. He led the white dragon into the main cabin, where a group of robots operated.

The white dragon ate the food handed by the robot - it was like a high-density compressed biscuit, and after eating two pieces, he felt a strong sense of fullness.

Dozens of minutes later, the spaceship left the ground and slowly turned into the empty space port in orbit, this temporarily repaired port still has traces of the destruction of the chaotic era everywhere, it seems that he is afraid that the white dragon is too lonely, the holographic screen in the sub-cabin shows the situation outside the spacecraft, he saw that the light and flames spewed out when the spaceship left the ground burned the undehydrated corpses of the three-body people on the ground, and saw the three-body star blooming with war flames everywhere, and an inexplicable strange feeling rose in the white dragon's heart.

Could it be that this is the legendary mouth cannon to destroy the country?

Just as the white dragon was bored looking at the scene on the Trisolar Star, in the central area of the spacecraft, more than a thousand quantum chips were neatly placed on a square instrument, and they were connected to the central Zhizi array, and a meeting was also launched in the virtual space of the array:

"Let me say a few words, although from the perspective of our compatriots on the ground, our actions are tantamount to betrayal, but now the people in this spaceship are comrades who share our like-minded war and have no meaning, in this case, it is better to open up a new world as a pioneer for our compatriots after us, so although there is no order from any government agency, our actions are by no means betrayal, we have paid a lot of our compatriots' lives for this plan, therefore, our actions are undoubtedly sacred and just! I declare that from now on, the Pioneer Committee will be established, and everyone here will automatically become a member from the time the Committee is formed. ”

"No comments. ”

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

......

Bai He didn't know that his mouth cannon had a profound impact on the three-body world, and at this moment he was full of food and drink, and as the spaceship accelerated at a low sub-light speed, he looked at the three stars of the three-body galaxy that were gradually moving away, and fell into sleep with satisfaction.
