In a small oasis outside the city of Kyoto, Luo Ji sat alone at the source of a man-made stream and thought.

It's so strange, it's really weird, it's clear that it can deter the Trisorans now, why wait 120 years?

For the time being, the Stars faction does not have the ability to broadcast at the stellar level, first, there is no sun, and second, there is no radar equipment.

"Before the Star Sect establishes a deterrent, it is entirely possible that they will be caught up and destroyed, and then the Blue Star Humans will be finished..."

"The safest way should be to establish a deterrence system in this galaxy, the three-body probe has not yet come, and there is still a chance."

Luo Ji sincerely thinks that it is pure nonsense to let the Wandering Fleet establish a deterrent, and the distance between the light grades is too far.

By the time you reach your destination, it's already a hundred years later, NH558J2 star system is not suitable for human habitation, so the fleet will have to leave sooner or later, what if you just leave, the Trisolarans will kill the Blue Star humans?

It will take a hundred years for the Star Sect to know, and it will never be possible for them to know about it, so why should they deter the Trisolarans? You don't have the communication equipment to surpass the light cone.

"No, yes, it was just destroyed by Tomoko, and you plan to build a quantum communication system in the future and send it back to the coalition government? This is indeed effective in maintaining the deterrence of the Dark Forest..."

"Or, they didn't even think about reaching a deterrent peace with the Three-Body Civilization, but directly broadcast..."

The bracelet suddenly lit up, and someone called.

Luo Ji wasn't thinking, the young man's thoughts were too deep to see through, so he touched the bracelet to connect the phone.

"Brother Luo, where are you staying?"

"I heard that you came to the surface, come to my house for a meal, and let's have a few old things from the old times to have a drink and get together."

It's Shi Qiang, because he is not a wall-facing person, he woke up relatively early.

"Big History?" Luo Ji was a little surprised.

For more than half a month after waking up, he was busy picking up his wife and children in Europe, buying real estate or something, and the trouble of following Si Ming around him, so he didn't have time to contact possible old friends.

"How did you know my number?"

Although the concept of privacy is weak in this era, it is not so weak that you can know the contact information of others casually.

Shi Qiang pondered for a moment and said, "You seem to be very famous, when you were working, I heard children engaged in research talking about you, I said I knew you, and they gave me your contact information." ”

"I feel like I'm being taken advantage of..."

The corners of Luo Ji's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

"There won't be any danger, will it?"

Shi Qiang: "There shouldn't be, next to my house is an important biogenetic engineering research institute of the coalition government, and the security force is very strong, Brother Luo, you don't think anyone wants to kill you, right?" ETO now only has two or three big cats and kittens left. ”

"Okay, the map is here, I'll go over later, prepare one more person's meal, Yan Yan will come with me."

A hearty voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'll go get some fruit wine, what do your children like to eat?" I'm ready too. ”

"Yanyan is still young, just prepare some fruit, you don't need to break too much."

Luo Ji feels that Shi Qiang is not the kind of person who can calm down and study seriously, his academic qualifications should not be high, and he does not have many sexual resources.

Shi Qiang smiled and said: "The ground is different from the underground, and the people on our ground pay more attention to more work and more rewards." ”

"I'll prepare a sky-high lunch for you, hurry up."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone hung up.

After a while, the group of four people walked to the factory not far away, and behind the factory was the living quarters of the people on the ground.

Entering the city, Zhuang Yan saw the rice in the building, and she asked Si Ming: "Is this the ecology of a small oasis during the great trough?" ”

Si Ming nodded and said, "After the underground water circulation system covered Kyoto, the residents on the ground made use of these abandoned buildings that were still sturdy, rebuilt the ecology of the small oasis during the Great Depression, planted a lot of food, and raised a lot of aquatic products. ”

As far as the eye can see, there are countless high-rise buildings in the city covered in yellow sand: "Won't all be planted?" ”

"Hmm~, most of it."

Luo Ji remembered the reunion dinner that emptied his wallet not long ago, "Why is it so expensive to ship it underground?" ”

"It's only two or three thousand meters."

Si Ming explained: "Because the green project and the artificial water recycling project need to call a lot of productivity, and the credit for enjoying sexual benefits is actually the right of citizens to call productivity. ”

"On the condition of providing seeds, the Academy of Sciences buys vegetables and fruits grown by people on the ground at a low price and sells them to people underground at a high price."

"However, the reason why the fruits and vegetables in the ground are so expensive that we can't afford to eat them is mainly because of the low consumption power of adults, and the Academy of Sciences processes vegetables and fruits into sugar and nutrient solution and sells them to us children."

"If you pay attention, you will find that the price of what 'modern children' eat, the selling price of synthetic products and the selling price of products processed in advance, the latter is thousands of times higher than the former."

"A lot of adults have less money and more things, how can we children be coaxed, the labels are pure and natural, and the money is coming."

Si Ming smiled: "This bad idea is actually put forward by us, modern children's degrees are generally higher than those of the older generation, a doctorate degree has 10,000 credits per month, I now have sixteen doctorates, and I have 160,000 pocket money every month." ”

"The credit issued in the current month is cleared the next month, and it is useless to save it, so we are generous and ask for the price as you go."

"After all, if you don't spend it, you're at a loss."

"The total amount of credit issued each month represents a productivity that far exceeds the total productivity of human civilization."

"So how to recover huge amounts of credit with low-productivity products has become an art in modern economics, and the best thing in this art is Shuguang Entertainment, a rare and unique virtual prop that can recover tens of billions of credits in three days."

Luo Ji couldn't complain about this economic system built on extremely rich productivity, "We have become victims of economic art, and we can only eat synthetic meat and synthetic starch every day..."

Zhuang Yan said softly: "My dear, this is definitely a thousand times happier than when the trough was great, at least you have to eat." ”

"We can also move to the ground and live in exchange for fresh vegetables and fruits..."

A passing uncle said: "Friend, I really want to move over to the community to welcome you, don't worry about your children's education, we also have virtual equipment here, you can log in to the world of the Academy of Sciences." ”

Middle and low-level schools have long since disappeared.

The old man was carrying a hoe and dragging a cart of saplings, seemingly preparing to plant, Luo Ji couldn't help asking:

"Uncle, humanity may be about to perish, aren't you worried and worried at all?"

The old man smiled: "The children are not worried, what am I worried about?" ”

"Besides, humanity has long since put aside the heavy responsibility of continuing civilization, focusing on enjoying the present life, and if it dies, it will perish."

"Young man, I am also an ancient person, and when I first arrived in this era, I was not used to such a mental state."

"But you see, I really like it now, I can do what I want."

"I used to aspire to be a person like the county magistrate of Jiao, but now I am, controlling sand, salinity, planting trees, and I have even studied the advanced knowledge required for these doors."

"It's a good time, everybody has a lot of choices, you see, aren't the kids who want to leave Blue Star ready to leave? When all this really happened, everyone didn't seem to be emotional, and they saw it after a few scoldings. ”

"Young man, take it easy and enjoy this era, even if it doesn't last long."

"In this beautiful era, it would be sad if you died without realizing it at all."

Seeing the old man walking away, Luo Ji smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect the old man to see it more thoroughly than me..."

Zhuang Yan comforted and said, "My dear, you have carried too many things, now is the time to let go." ”

Looking at his wife and daughter, Luo Ji shook his head resolutely.

"Ms. Si Ming, can you tell me what exactly you want to do?"

Si Ming smiled and did not answer.

Half an hour later, a group of four people came to the community where Shi Qiang lived, and Shi Qiang, who had been notified, also ran out to pick up people.

At this time, Si Ming said, "I will leave for a while, and I will teach them a lesson for the children who brought you here." ”

"Don't worry about security."

As she spoke, she walked to another path, aiming for the Institute of Biogenetic Engineering.

"Haha, long time no see!"

Shi Qiang ran over and looked at Si Ming, "Who is he?" ”

"Si Ming, I don't know anything else."

"With Si as the surname..."

Dashi led the way in front, and muttered for a long time before saying, "Brother Luo, it seems that you haven't gotten rid of your responsibilities yet..."

Luo Ji was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I heard those children say that their organization, to be precise, the high-level of the left-behind faction, seems to be coded by Si, just like the gods and gods in myths and legends, Si holds a certain authority."

"Just like the person in charge of the research institute next to him, his code name seems to be Si Chan, Zen and cicadas, cicadas have the meaning of transformation, which is just in line with his work."

This made the couple exclaim: "Huh? How did you know about such a confidential matter? ”

Shi Qiang pointed to the TV on the wall of the corridor and said, "After Lin Yuan of the Space Force revealed his identity, they were no longer hiding themselves, just like a political force, officially on the world stage. ”

"Listening to them, the Star Sect has taken away most of the strength of the organization, hundreds of thousands of top elites, the left-behind faction is short of people, and there is no need to hide, they are ready to find people on a large scale."

In the entire organization, there are only 100,000 people who have connections and subordinate relationships.

But the potential members and supporters of the organization are as many as hundreds of millions.
