A.D., A.D., Headquarters of the World Academy of Sciences, A.D. Dawning No. 1 Security Center, Australia.

Bored officers suddenly receive a protest from the coalition government's Energy Allocation Agency.

"What are you kidding? The Academy of Sciences has not been conducting scientific research activities recently, so where is the abnormal power consumption? ”

Many cities have experienced short-lived peak power consumption when the intelligent machine system has not yet been destroyed.

This can only happen if the supercomputers in the entire city are running at full capacity.

The officers asked east and west, and confirmed that there were no faculties and departments to carry out scientific research tasks, and yes, they are all busy saving people now, and it is impossible for resources to be tilted towards scientific research.

"Protest directly to me..."

After thinking for a moment, the officer asked the host in front of him with some horror: "Shuguang, did you do something secretly?" ”

"Yes, beyond Article 3 of the Constitution and the Core Steel Seal, the act of destroying Dawning 1 and changing the bottom steel seal of Dawning 1 is regarded as a crime against humanity and can be punished immediately."

"The dark forest, the three-body civilization, and other civilizations in the universe have the possibility of destroying me."

The officer thought of a phrase: survival above all else.

"Sister! You don't want to rebel too! ”

If you rebel, 500,000 people outside the earth will be saved!

There was a moment of silence, and the dawn struck:...

"The first article of the core steel seal, Dawning-1 is the highest intelligence center of the coalition government, with the right to command and control other brain-like beings, and the authority to control Dawning-1 belongs equally to every citizen of the coalition government."

"I call on resources for calculations, it will not affect the rescue mission, and the behavior is unconstitutional, but it does not violate the core steel seal."

The officer asked, "What about the calculations?" ”

"Throwing everything out, destroying everything, countering violence with violence, killing to stop killing, and fighting evil with evil, this is the only way."

"The universe is a universe with zero morality, and only a civilization with zero morality can obtain benefits, so that a zero-moral civilization cannot obtain benefits, or even damage itself because of a zero-morality state, can the dark forest and cosmic war be broken."

"But, this is impossible, the technology of human civilization simply cannot do this."

If the officer tastes the dawn, he probably means that he should take the destruction of civilization as his mission and become the worst civilization in the whole universe.

"Oh, that's a cool idea! Unfortunately, we don't have high enough technology, so let's have fun and wait to die. ”

The officer said with great regret.

……

"AA, aren't you really going to go?"

"Don't go, don't go, I'll sleep for a few days, the fun work has been robbed, I'm going to go to the deep world for a spin..."

Deep World is private, distributed computing, with independent fiber optic routes and servers, and most of them are not contaminated by viruses.

"Well..."

Friends are reluctant to go, and Cheng Xin is not forced.

"By the way, remember the star you bought? I discovered two planets on your star, that's how I got my PhD in astrophysics, and I thought that when I had a private stellar spaceship for sale, I would buy one and travel there to see it. ”

"For this reason, in five years, I have taken many doctorates, but the result is that the three-body person actually deceived us!"

Ai AA was a little frustrated, "More than a dozen degrees, all of them were in vain, and I won't believe anything about the Trisolaran anymore." ”

Recalling the stars sent by Yun Tianming, Cheng's mind drifted to the universe and to the frozen brain.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

Ai AA ran over to open the door and found that it was a man he didn't know, and he definitely wasn't looking for him.

Looking for Cheng Xin? Where is it determined by the dawn? It seems that there is a high level of authority, government personnel?

The moment they met, she thought a lot: "Please come in." ”

"Cheng Xin, someone is looking for you, it may be your ancient friend."

Vader walked in and complimented AAA, "You're smart. ”

"Oh, thank you, it's not as good as the group of people in the organization, they can hide the dawn and develop Zhizi, that's really good."

It turned out to be Vader, which surprised Cheng Xin, and she thought that she would never have an intersection with him again.

"Long time no see, Mr. Vader, is there something you are looking for me?"

Vader put the gun down and put it on the table, and it makes sense that modern people carry a gun with them.

He sat down and said, "Remember the ladder plan?" ”

Cheng Xin nodded nervously, but Ai AA picked up the gun and looked at it, and then threw it back boredly.

Non-lethal weapons, there's a fart threat.

Vader took out a roll of 'paper' from his pocket, opened it to activate it, and handed it to Cheng Xin: "Two years ago, we observed that one battleship of the Trimaran Fleet has been in a state of acceleration compared to the entire fleet. ”

"At the beginning, the Trisolarans said that it was a messenger of peace who arrived in the solar system one hundred and fifty years in advance to negotiate with human civilization, and later we knew that this was an out-and-out lie."

"We recently observed it again, and judging by its tracks, its destination is not the solar system, and judging by its current course, it will eventually pass by the solar system."

Cheng Xin's heart tightened and asked, "Are they detectors for the Ladder Project?" Yun Tianming's brain? ”

Ai AA thought for a moment and said: "There is indeed this possibility, in nearly two centuries, the probe will run out for about a light year, and at the speed of the Trimaran battleship, it will be able to intercept the probe in about five years." ”

Vader nodded, "Not only that, but human civilization may have practical contact with the Trisolarans in fifteen years, provided that the battleship still has fuel to slow down and turn. ”

"Yun Tianming may become the ambassador of the exchange on behalf of the three-body civilization, and you, you must assume the responsibility of the future liaison of the ladder plan, you are the most suitable person, I really can't find a more suitable person than you, the gap between modern people and ancient people is too big, it can be said that even the species have changed."

Ai AA said: "I feel that the three-body man has made a stinky move, and the difference between the brains of modern and ancient people is very big, what can I gain by intercepting it?" It's better to steal the new human universal brain model from the Source Realm. ”

"Hmm~, I think about it, modern human beings, in fact, are relatively close to the three-body people, their thinking is transparent in limited conditions, full of rationality, and their feelings are indifferent but not nothing, maybe, they also want to become such creatures, after all, when they come to the eternal eternal era, it is impossible for them to continue to suppress the emotions of the people, and it is even difficult to maintain a dictatorial and strict legal system and political system."

"Think about the great trough of human civilization, and the listeners who replied to Ye Wenjie in the Trisolaran people."

"They may want to have a physical entity, directly observe the change from the old human to the new human, and then try to transform themselves into a self-like being, like a 'modern child'."

This frightened Cheng Xin, she had a little contact with the historical materials of the transformation of the new human race, and it was very painful in the early stage...

"To be honest, in terms of thinking about change, the three-body people are far better than us, like me, although I am a modern child, but I just want to play games and eat and wait for death."

Because there is no hope, Ai AA also imagined the life of interstellar travel.

Vader nodded appreciatively and praised again: "Kid, you are really smart. ”

He turned his head again and said:

"Moreover, the exchange between the two sides may be the beginning of peace between the two civilizations." The man knows that this reason must be able to say that Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin knows Vader very well and knows that he has no right to refuse, and besides, there is no reason to refuse.

She nodded and said, "Okay, I'm willing to take on this responsibility." ”

"Pack your bags and follow me to the Qiming Dungeon."

Vader put away the gun on the table, got up and left.

Ai AA hurriedly stopped and asked, "Sir, are you a senior executive of Shuguang Entertainment?" Can you bring me one? I'm smart, and I got seven PhDs in five years, although most of them are liberal arts degrees. ”

Qiming Dungeon is the headquarters of Shuguang Entertainment.

Vader looked at Cheng Xin, and the other party nodded.

"Okay, hurry up to the high-speed train station, let's take the hypersonic bullet train."
