"Do you want to save it?" Cheng Xin repeated Zhizi's inquiry suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't the Three-Body Civilization your creator?" Why ask for our opinion? ”

As the artificial intelligence of the three-body civilization, shouldn't you take the initiative to help the three-body fleet?

If Shuguang encounters this incident, she will help the victims as much as possible while ensuring the right to life of the original service users.

Yun Tianming smiled and said, "The small universe is customized, including this Zhizi, who only obeys our orders. ”

"Yes." Tomoko smiled and said, "You are the true masters of the small universe 647, and you have the absolute right to decide everything here, and I only serve you." ”

"Speaking of which, innocent citizens have absolute ownership of their own legal property, and this is still a law that emerged after the First Fleet was influenced by the humanistic trend of modern human civilization."

The value of the three-body civilization used to be that the continuation of civilization was greater than everything else, and everything else served the continuation of civilization.

At that time, the three-body citizen did not even have the concept of property.

Only when you have a job can you have food and shelter, and if you don't have a job, you will be dehydrated and thrown into the warehouse for storage, and everything, including yourself, is civilized public property.

……

With Tomoko's confirmation, the two in the delicate little courtyard fell silent.

Neither of them expected that the entity of the Three-Body Civilization would appear in front of them in this way.

Yun Tianming was the first to break the silence, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I would be so close to the Three-Body Civilization. ”

"Honey, save or not, you decide." He handed over the choice to Cheng Xin.

If you want to save it, it's very simple, there are only tens of thousands of trisolarans alive in hundreds of ships, and the door of the small universe is around, stuff these dehydrated trisolarans into it, and a small pool can fit it.

No, it's simpler, pretend not to see, start the curvature engine, and continue to move towards the destination.

Cheng Xin bit his lip and said hesitantly: "I know, the Three-Body Men are enemies, but they are no longer a threat..."

With this hesitation, Yun Tianming knew the result.

Looking at Cheng Xin, who was entangled, the man who was more suspicious asked Zhizi: "How many years has this fleet been adrift?" ”

It's really too coincidental, the universe is so big, how could it be possible to just encounter the remnants of the Trisolaran Second Fleet, and just encounter the low-light-speed fleet on a straight route, it's really incredible.

You must know that the spacecraft is sub-light, and this speed, one second earlier and one second late, will cause the two sides to pass by.

Tianxiao San was the destination given by Shuguang, and Yun Tianming had reason to suspect that it was Shuguang's doing.

Tomoko pulls up some information from the database.

"The Second Fleet was launched in... Using your calculations, the year 376 A.D. disappeared, about 134 years ago, was confirmed by measuring the half-lives of the heavy elements remaining in the nuclear reactor, and the timing was correct. ”

"The damage of cosmic radiation to the hull of the ship is in line with the theoretical estimate, and the genetic determination is no problem, it is the first generation of genetic modification technology hundreds of years ago, and the black box also completely records the war."

"Do you want to see the review of that war? It was a tragic encounter. ”

Yun Tianming shook his head, data is easier to falsify, especially for the dawn of human civilization.

An interstellar war may leave a lot of data, but the data of a light-second scale war is insignificant compared to the multiple high-fidelity virtual worlds that operated simultaneously on Earth in the past.

Yun Tianming thought for a moment and said, "If you can manipulate microscopic particles, you can falsify the half-life of particles. ”

Human civilization has long had the technology.

"Genes cannot be used as evidence, as long as you can obtain biological entities, you can clone as many as you want."

"After the genes are completely analyzed, it is even possible to clone individuals with completely different body shapes, appearances, genders, and appearances."

Speaking of this, Yun Tianming was stunned, clone! The Three-Body Civilization definitely has the ability to clone itself.

If they are important to the Three-Body Civilization, then they will definitely not let themselves go, if they are not important, then they will not be able to leave the Three-Body World alive, and they are not qualified to customize the small universe.

If you leave the three-body world, does it mean that someone has replaced you!

Yun Tianming felt that he was about to be autistic again: Am I really me? It's not going to be a clone.

Everything is fake, that's cruel, I have to find a way to be sure, I have to be the real one.

Yun Tianming also began to dislike cloning technology.

"Hopefully I'm overthinking."

He also thought of a possibility, that is, he used to be very important to the Trisolarans, but now it is not important, but his status is noble.

Let's hope that's the case.

Or, you can clone me as a person, but not my personality and memories.

Yun Tianming suddenly became a little envious of Shuguang, she has many independent individuals in the universe, but there will be no ethical events like cloning.

……

Regarding Yun Tianming's concerns, Zhizi was not worried: "The risk of cloning a civilization is very high, is there any benefit that outweighs the risk?" ”

Cheng Xin said: "There are benefits, just as the ideas of human civilization have promoted the technological progress of the three-body civilization. ”

"At the same time, you've gained some technology that you don't have by spying on human civilization, right?"

Tomoko nodded, not denying it, because this is the truth, and it also proves the high risk of cultivating civilization.

"I've checked up and down, and I didn't find any traces of the anomaly, so I can basically rule out the possibility of non-accidental encounters."

"If there is really a dawn, it is easy to verify, Ms. Cheng Xin, please call for the dawn."

The authority to control the Dawn belongs equally to every citizen of the coalition government, and when the citizens call, the Dawn will answer.

Yun Tianming waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't be so troublesome, probably because I'm too worried." ”

There must be no result, and if it is really the dawn, it must be leaky.

After a period of silence, Cheng Xin spoke: "I want to help them, repair a battleship, let them continue to hibernate, and the spaceship will fly to the deep space of the universe at sub-light speed." ”

"Set an alarm clock with the spaceship as a reference system, wake up in five years, and travel hundreds of millions of light-years, so that they will not pose a threat to human civilization and have hope of survival."

Exile the remnants of the three-body problem to the distant future, this is the way Cheng Xin came up with what he thinks is the best of both worlds.

Hundreds of millions of years later, it is a question of whether human civilization still exists, and if it still exists, then human technology must be beyond imagination, and this three-body remnant is even less likely to threaten human beings.

Yun Tianming smiled slightly: "It's a good way, just do what you say." ”

The next issue is productivity, and building a new warship is a big job.

The spacecraft's AI, Dawn, said: "I refuse to participate in the rescue, the three-body civilization is not a pan-human civilization. ”

Tomoko shook his head and said, "It's a pity that this small universe is a civilian facility and is not equipped with relevant industrial facilities. ”

Cheng Xin looked at Yun Tianming, his eyes seemed to be asking what to do.

If Dawn doesn't help, the nanomachinery on the spaceship can't be used, and the two of them rub a battleship by hand, it's impossible.

Yun Tianming thought for a moment, and then said, "Wake up the living Trisolarans and let them build their own battleships." ”

"I hope that among these tens of thousands of three-body people, there are engineers and skilled workers..."

Dawn reminded, "You need weapons, let me produce some mechs to prevent the hungry wolves from revolting." ”

"At the same time, I need to monitor the Trisolarans throughout the whole process, and I can't let them do anything to the spaceship."

The two were not stupid either, and immediately agreed.

"One more thing, according to the progress of the project given by the other me, we can only stay for two years, and then we must set sail for Tianxia San, otherwise we will miss the meeting with the other me."

Cheng Xin nodded in understanding.

Cracking the small universe technology and saving more lives is greater love, giving up small love and chasing big love.

Yun Tianming said: "In order to save time, you have to help us solve the food problem." ”

The food stored in his small universe is only enough for two people to eat for three years, and the grain grown in a few acres of fields is not yet mature, and it cannot support tens of thousands of people, so it needs to produce grain industrially.

Shuguang refused: "I will not help the Three-Body Civilization." ”

Yun Tianming shrugged helplessly and looked at Cheng Xin: "Without food, we can't save the three-body people." ”

Cheng Xin thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you collect all the living three-body people and maintain them in a dehydrated state, so that you don't have to eat food, and then throw them into a star system?" ”

Dawn called up a star map: "The nearest star system is seven light-years away, and if you go, you won't be able to catch up with the Tianli-3 project." ”

She gave a suggestion: "You can bring these three-body people to Tianlisan, where I have enough resources to raise them, raise civilization and obtain technology, it seems to be very good." ”

Cheng Xin felt cruel, raised intelligent life, mastered his killing and snatching, and released the ancients, which is called a slave owner.

She wants to persuade the dawn that this is not humanism.

At this time, Tomoko came out to relieve the siege: "Many citizens in the warehouse are dead, but the flesh and bones are still edible, and millions of corpses are enough to last for a few weeks, and this time should be enough for them to build a food synthesis industry." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Xin had a frightened expression on his face, how could he be like this in order to live?

Zhizi glanced at Cheng Xin and continued: "In the history of the Three-Body Civilization, cannibalism is a very common thing. ”

"We are short of materials, in many periods of ancient times, we had to stew the old, weak, sick and disabled into broth, only young adults and children can live, there is hope for civilization."

……

After the rescue policy was determined, the two began to be busy collecting dehydrated trisolarans.

The living are soaked and resurrected, and the dead are processed into bread.

Through the small cosmic gate that cannot be stopped by matter, the two of them freely entered and exited the dead and dilapidated battleship, and in addition to collecting the three-body man, they also had to collect water, air and other materials.

Resources were scarce, as the ships were damaged and most of them were lost.

Every empty battleship was swallowed up by the Dawn's nanomachines, and a fortress could be built in a matter of days.

A few hundred warships, leaving only the three worst for the Trisolarans, is enough to build a new warship.

……

The water soaks into the parched body and forms a combination of water with various substances, and the shriveled body quickly fills up.

With the advent of the heartbeat, the trisolaran brain, the DNA computer, was restarted.

The silkworm woke up from the chaos and tried to open its eyes, but there was no feedback, and it seems that this time the dehydration lost its eyes.

The hands and feet can still be used, the communication organs are normal, and brain waves can be received.

So someone else's eyes became her eyes.

It's just that she can't decipher the brain waves she received, and the relevant memory structure is damaged.

She mobilizes backups from elsewhere in her body.

Genes can store a large amount of information, and dehydration often loses some body tissues, in order to prevent memory loss, trisolaran people usually back up more memories throughout the body.

Silkworms are not familiar with biological computers, compared to electrons, optical paths, and quantum computers, its efficiency is too low, and the structure is completely different, so it took a long time to find the backup information.

She crossed her own life form, but she didn't know whether it was a reduction or an ascension.

After loading the language module, the silkworm saw and heard that the newly awakened three-body man was confronting the robot.

Through the perspective of dozens of three-body people, she saw clearly what the place she was in was like: centered on the world, with a copy-and-paste world in front and back, left and right.

It's like a mirror.

"This should be the small universe, what is hidden behind the 'mirror', I will dig you out."

Thinking about it, she got up from the shallow lake.

After a while, the confrontation subsided.

Yun Tianming stood in front of many Trisolarans and recounted his plans to exile them in the future.

He wears the source realm, which translates the brain waves of the three-body person into Chinese characters and transmits them to the brain.

It also converts the thoughts of the brain into the brainwaves of the trisolaran person, and is a very useful translator.

A three-body person said indignantly: "Respect Mr. Yun Tianming, you used to be the consul of the three-body civilization!" Your little universe is also a gift from us, you can't treat us like this. ”

Yun Tianming was stunned, was he ever so bullish? Have they all gotten to the level of the leader of civilization?

He shook his head, threw his thoughts out of his head, and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I lost all my memories of being in the Three-Body World. ”

"It is already the greatest mercy to be able to save you and give you two years to build a warship."

The newly elected acting consul said, "Mr. Yun Tianming, I understand you. ”

"So, we will follow your plan, and it is better to exile the future than to die."

"But I beg you one thing!"

As he spoke, the consul bent down.

Yun Tianming asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, say it, I'll think about it." ”

The archon said, "Little Universe, I hope you can let us study the Little Universe for these two years. ”

The three-body civilization may be the first to master the small universe technology in the mother world, but the second fleet, like the first fleet, lost contact with the mother world very early.

The second person to master the technology of the small universe may be the First Fleet, but that was after the destruction of the Second Fleet.

So, the Second Fleet does not have small cosmic technology, at most there are only some theories.

"The universe in hundreds of millions of years may be very dangerous, harsh environment, war, and in the future, we need to master the small universe technology as soon as possible to avoid these disasters."

Yun Tianming asked, "How are you going to study?" I won't allow you to tear down the universe. ”

The consul said proudly: "The three-body civilization has always been the first priority to continue civilization. ”

"The small universe is nominally your private property, but we must keep it behind."

"For example, the huge entropy reduction machine hidden in this small world, which you can't control."

"I think that as a real three-body person, I should have the authority to open the background control system."
