This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 375: The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest
"I declare that The Three-Body Problem Part II is a masterpiece! Part I is ten times better than Part II!!! Ten times!"

"If the first part is just an appetizer, the second part is like a full banquet! It is far from being a shock of the same magnitude!"

"The first part was just a trial run, but the second part is already shocking enough. I think the theory of the dark forest is correct, cruel but true... Hide yourself, Earthlings!"

"When you think the first part is Cheng Cheng's limit, he will use the second part to tell you that his limit is far more than that!"

"It's amazing! I had this feeling halfway through reading it. The meticulous logic, profound knowledge, and intentional or unintentional mockery of modern human nature and politics are all based on science fiction, and finally presented in a textbook-like manner with solid professional knowledge. My God, is this really a book written by a contemporary Tianxia person who lacks imagination?"

"The climax gave me goosebumps! Damn, the cards were so well hidden!"

"I've been reading for twelve hours straight since I got the book, and finally finished The Three-Body Problem Part 2! I want to shout like crazy: The Three-Body Problem Part 2 is awesome! Ye Wenjie is awesome! Zhang Beihai is awesome! Da Shi is awesome! Luo Ji is awesome! Cheng Cheng is awesome!"

"After reading The Three-Body Problem: Part Two, you will know that Ye Wenjie's value has risen again!"

"No, how did Cheng Cheng come up with it? Universal Axiom! Quantum Fleet Ghost! Thought Seal! Wallfacer! Wallbreaker! What did he think?"

"Humans are all bugs!!"

“Before watching The Three-Body Problem: Isn’t this just a sequel? How good can it be?
After watching The Three-Body Problem: Give civilization to the years, not give years to civilization! Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is! Killing them all is the best way to respect a civilization! "

"The Three Bodies are the wealth of mankind!"

"Watching The Three-Body Problem really makes me feel lost. I feel that I and even the human race are so insignificant. We are like a nest of worms living in the cracks of time, unable to withstand any storms."

"It's so real! This is the most realistic science fiction novel I've ever read! I even think that this is the truth of the universe, and something similar will really happen when humans come into contact with aliens."

"At least I believe the Dark Forest is real, similar to the arms race and nuclear balance on Earth. For example, if we disarm ourselves and destroy all our nuclear weapons, believe it or not, someone will come and bully us within three years."

"The biggest aftereffect of The Three-Body Problem is that other science fiction novels become boring!"

"After reading The Three-Body Problem, I immediately threw away my favorite book, The Formula for the Wavelength of the Universe!"

"I finished watching the second part in a coffee shop today. It was so moving that I couldn't control myself. When I left the house after watching it, it was already early in the morning. The people on the street, who were enjoying the nightlife, all looked like trilobites in my eyes."

"I sometimes wonder if we are bacteria in a culture tank in a parallel space outside the universe..."

“After opening the chapter of the dark forest, the story is as awe-inspiring as the infinitely winding vortex of melody in classical music. The sense of fear is far greater than the spatial confusion when watching a cosmic documentary. The cosmic sociology is terrifying but convincing. The third part has not been released yet, but I am already very scared before reading it.”

"I'm already looking forward to the TV version of The Three-Body Problem 2! The Three-Body Problem 2 is obviously much more magnificent than the Three-Body Problem 1!"

"The team hopes to keep the original cast! Please don't replace Ding Yi, Dashi, and Chang Weisi! The most important thing is that Cheng Cheng plays Luo Ji! Five-star expectations!"

"Just like the first film, if we follow the book, cast some more suitable actors, and improve the special effects technology, it will definitely not be too bad!"

“Personally, I feel that the actor for Zhang Beihai is actually more difficult to choose than Luo Ji. I suggest using a newcomer, or someone new to the show. If he has a square face and a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, that would be even better. Hehehe!!”

"The problem now is that Luo Ji has someone, but who will take over for Zhuang Yan?"

"If Yan Gou'er hadn't played Ye Wenjie, she would definitely be the most suitable person! But what a pity now!"

"Really, it's just like when Yan Gou'er debuted in Xianyi. That youthfulness and innocence are really amazing."

"I also think Yan Gou'er is the most suitable, but Ye Wenjie and Zhuang Yan were the same person when they were young, which... is a bit dramatic..."

"I nominate Qi Bing!"

"Forget about Qi Bing! Wang Hong is almost the same."

"Wang Hong? Are you sure? How can she play the role of Zhuang Yan?"

"Don't you think Nilukzi is quite suitable?"

"She is from Xinjiang, right? She is pretty, but too exotic!"

Zhu Hua was stunned when he read the comments online.

No, he had only read half of The Three-Body Problem 2, but these people on the Internet had already finished it? What kind of speed is this? Can they really read ten lines at a glance?
Other netizens who didn’t buy the book were also confused:
"No, I just came out of the company. Has the whole world finished watching The Three-Body Problem Part Two?"

"Ah? What are you talking about? I just passed out from working overtime."

"Am I the only one who hasn't bought the book yet?"

"Urgent, urgent, urgent!!! Why hasn't the book I ordered in the early morning arrived yet?"

"Is it possible that express delivery would take two or three days?"

"Who has finished reading it? Please, lend it to me!!!"

"Aren't you guys working? Aren't you guys working? Aren't you guys working?"

"A little girl who had worked a day broke gently."

"I hate you guys! Why didn't I get it?"

Zhu Hua didn’t dare to read any more comments online, for fear of being spoiled by them, so he turned off his phone and went to sleep.

The next day, Zhu Hua woke up and started reading "The Three-Body Problem 2" right after he finished breakfast.

Yesterday he saw that the three people who were trying to face the wall except Luo Ji all failed, and Luo Ji's plan to face the wall had not yet begun.

He was very curious about what Luo Ji's plan to face the wall was.

He had guessed from the previous plot that Luo Ji was definitely the key to fighting the Three-Body Problem, and Cheng Cheng had been laying the groundwork from beginning to end, but so far, apart from an inexplicable curse, nothing had been revealed in the book.

Not only the person who broke the wall was kept in the dark, but the readers were also kept in the dark.

And because of the successive failures of the three wallfacers, the Wallfacer Project has been regarded as "a historical mistake". Luo Ji seems to have become a remnant of the old era. Except for Shi Qiang, no one cares about him anymore.

And with the establishment of the Space Force and the advancement of science and technology, humans in the current era are unprecedentedly confident, and everyone firmly believes that they can defeat the Three-Body Problem.

That confidence was like the arrival of the Three Body. Without saying a word, the people on Earth immediately threw two giant fights on their heads.

It was in this context that finally—

The three-body probe entered the solar system.

In order to demonstrate the power of mankind, Space International dispatched all 2015 warships to intercept the Trisolaran probe, including the "Natural Selection" with Zhang Beihai as the executive captain.

Zhu Hua was happy that Zhang Beihai could display his talent, but he didn't expect a shocking reversal! On the eve of the battle for human survival, as a soldier who fulfilled his responsibilities, Zhang Beihai turned against us! He bypassed the detection of the deep-sea status of the crew before the fourth-level acceleration, and the communication between the warship and the outside world was completely cut off, and then he defected with the warship!

Its course is completely opposite to the direction of the Three-Body invasion!

Zhang Beihai is actually a staunch believer in the inevitable defeat of humanity!
Moreover, he is a human defeatist who has never received the stamp of thought!
Zhu Hua couldn't believe it!
The problem is that Zhang Beihai in the book never revealed anything! He hid it so well! He hid it so well that he fooled everyone who read the book!
Zhu Hua calmed down a little, drank a sip of water, and continued reading -

This small defection did not affect the enthusiasm of other people on Earth. They all stayed in front of the screen and prepared to cheer for the upcoming victory of mankind.

83-year-old Ding Yi was chosen as the first scientist to come into contact with the Trisomy small probe. The surface of this probe is as smooth as a drop of water, so everyone calls it the Water Drop.

When Dr. Ding Yi looked at the surface of a water droplet under a microscope, he found that no matter whether it was magnified a hundred times or ten thousand times, the surface of the water droplet was still smooth like a mirror. This means that the density of the object is extremely high and it can easily cross the earth without any damage to itself.

After Dr. Ding Yi reacted, he shouted to the entire fleet: "Silly children, run away!"

But it was too late. The water droplets used the most primitive attack method, "collision", to attack all human spaceships. Except for the defected Natural Selection and the four spaceships chasing it, the battle lasted 50 minutes and 2000 spaceships were destroyed!

All of humanity's hopes were destroyed by a probe the size of a small truck.

The whole world was in mourning.

This fleet-destroying battle made Zhu Hua tremble all over!
From the appearance of the water droplets, the reading process was like a string of firecrackers with the fuse lit, crackling, one climax after another, which made him completely excited! He thought that humans would lose, but he didn't expect that they would lose so thoroughly!
In front of the "water drop", the human fleet was almost like paper and was destroyed easily!
"What does it have to do with you if I destroy you?" These seven words came out.

The gap between civilization and technology is overwhelming, making everyone feel despair!
In this devastating battle, only seven space battleships survived and are flying away from the solar system.

They were divided into two parts: one part was the Natural Selection and the fleet that pursued it, a total of five warships;

The other part is the Quantum and Bronze Age, which survived the great destruction of the water drop. These two small fleets are located at the two ends of the solar system, flying into the vast space in almost opposite directions across the sun, getting farther and farther away.

As it turned out, Zhang Beihai was right.

He preserved fire for mankind.

However, as time went on, they found that the fuel and accessories supply was only enough for one ship to reach the nearest supply point, so the five warships attacked each other. Zhang Beihai's order was only a few seconds later than the other warships, but it was these few seconds later that caused the attacks of other warships to arrive first.

So, the "Blue Space" destroyed the other four spaceships and flew away with the spoils.

Before he died, Zhang Beihai actually smiled and said a few words: It doesn't matter, it's all the same.

Zhu Hua suddenly wanted to cry. He thought Zhang Beihai would lead the remaining humans to build a new home. He didn't expect Zhang Beihai to die like this, killed in a chain of suspicion. The most important thing was that Zhang Beihai was only a few seconds late!

His heart was filled with deep sadness, but also infinite admiration, especially Zhang Beihai’s last words, “It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same.” He is definitely a great man!
On the other hand, the people on Earth fell into deep despair after the Battle of the Water Drops.

There is no one left to save humanity.

But that's it.

Luo Ji, who was in the car, was stopped by the crowd.

Someone said, "Lord, save us!"

More and more people shouted:
"Our God, please save the world! Great spokesperson, please preside over the justice of the universe! Angel of Justice, please save humanity!"

It turned out that the star curse that Luo Ji cast before hibernation took effect. The star 187J3X1 predicted by Luo Ji was destroyed fifty-one years ago and was observed a year ago, but the observation information was not discovered until this afternoon because people had not paid attention to that star before.

Everyone believed that Luo Ji was the god who saved the earth.

The Wallfacer Project was resumed, and Luo Ji was designated as the only wallfacer.

In the desert, Luo Ji explained all this to Dashi.

That is the law of the dark forest!
Luo Ji compared the universe to a dark forest. Every civilization is a hunter with a gun, lurking in the woods like a ghost. Every hunter must be careful because as long as they expose their position they will be killed by other civilizations. After all, this is the best way to ensure their own safety.

The destruction of the asteroid whose coordinates were sent into space confirmed Luo Ji's Dark Forest Law, and the mutual attacks between human teams proved the chain of suspicion.

Zhu Hua was so amazed that he was speechless. It turned out that this was the origin of the title of the second part: Dark Forest.

In Dashi's words: Dark! Too damn dark!
Just by reading the description, he felt terrified!

However, the Trisolarans also guessed Luo Ji's idea, and used water droplets to emit radio waves to the sun, so that the sun could no longer amplify the signals emitted by the earth, and Luo Ji's purpose of sending the coordinates of the Trisolaran planet into the universe could not be achieved.

Luo Ji is now helpless and can only drown his sorrows in alcohol. The government gives Luo Ji a sinecure: Snow Engineering, where he creates space dust through stellar hydrogen bombs and Neptune's oil film material so that the remaining nine water droplets can be observed in advance before they reach the earth. This is actually a useless job for the earth. Luo Ji regards this as a means of escape. People on earth become disappointed with Luo Ji's behavior. Luo Ji loses people's trust and also loses the privileges of a wallfacer.

Zhu Hua: Is this the end? The promised salvation of humanity is still impossible?
On a cold and rainy autumn afternoon, the residents' representative meeting of New Life District 5 where Luo Ji lived made a decision: to expel Luo Ji from the community.

Zhu Hua fell silent.

Human beings are truly realistic animals.

Luo Ji came to the graves of Ye Wenjie and Yang Dong carrying a shovel. He dug the hole for a long time until he was exhausted.

Just when he was about to run out of energy.

He picked up the pistol, pointed it at his chest and said: "I want to talk to the Trisolarans!"

Zhu Hua's hair suddenly stood on end!

Luo Ji raised his left hand, revealing the watch on his wrist, and said:
This is a cradle system that detects his vital signs. One end is connected to his heart and the other end is connected to 3614 nuclear bombs that have been placed in the solar orbit for two years. If the heart stops beating, the nuclear bombs will be detonated, and the sun will be surrounded by interstellar dust of oil film material. The sun under the clouds will appear and disappear from time to time, shining continuously. He will mark the position of the solar system in the universe like a lighthouse. Then a life form with higher intelligence will destroy the solar system as easily as penetrating the star cursed by Luo Ji.

In other words, Luo Ji's work on the snow engineering project is ostensibly an escape from reality, but he is still carrying out the Wallfacer plan.

Zhu Hua: Damn it! Luo Ji! The invincible king of stress resistance!

Luo Ji's method worked. The Trisolarans compromised and agreed to Luo Ji's three requests:
1 The water drop stops emitting radio waves towards the sun. 2 The other nine water droplets leave the solar system. 3 The Trisolar Fleet immediately turns around and is no longer able to enter the solar system.

So far!

"The Three-Body Problem 2" has ended, and Luo Ji has saved humanity.

Zhu Hua closed the heavy book. It was already night.

He walked to the window, looked up and gazed at the starry sky.

At this moment, he no longer felt that the starry sky was beautiful, but felt endless fear. In the deep darkness, he seemed to see walking hunters, holding their guns with black muzzles, ready to shoot at any time.

Enemies everywhere!
