A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 342: The Sword Master Jiang Hai Appears! The Deterrence Era Officially Begins! This is in the book, and in reality!
According to the real-time support rate of the World Science Fiction Writing Competition, Jiang Hai's current vote support rate among all participating writers is -

Almost a huge lead!
According to statistics, the science fiction work "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" by writer Jiang Hai ranked first in votes in this world science fiction writing competition, and the science fiction work "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth" by writer Jiang Hai ranked second in votes.

Logically speaking, a writer can only be on the list once for counting writers' vote support rates!
But Jiang Hai relied on his own strength.
Directly take the first and second places in the top three?

The most important thing is that you can't find fault with him!

"The rules of the competition give participating writers three months to write a science fiction work that incorporates elements of their own country," said Victoria, the general manager of the World Science Fiction Writing Competition, looking at President Alex in front of her. "According to the rules, within the writer's ability, he can indeed produce multiple science fiction works that he is satisfied with."

When this rule was first established.

No one expected it.

Is it possible that there is a talented person who can produce several high-quality epic science fiction works that can even be rated as "world-class" in less than three months?
If this situation had been anticipated, then one should have added a sentence to the originally set competition rules:
“You can’t write science fiction as a TV series.”

Unfortunately, there is no if
Hearing the helpless narration from Victoria, the general manager, President Alex frowned:

“This is a bit tricky.”

Back then, the reason why the United States was willing to mobilize the whole country to host this science fiction essay contest that was so grand that it could sweep the world was to let the name of the United States' science fiction sweep the world, thereby demonstrating America's absolute dominance in the field of world science fiction and even in the world literary scene.

But now
Instead, the limelight was stolen by an unknown writer?

"What should I do?"

Thanks to the host country, the participating writers from the United States had already known the theme of this science fiction creation, "Future World", half a year in advance before the competition started. In order to ensure that the science fiction writers from the United States could gain an advantage in this essay competition, they even made various requirements for the participating writers in the rules -

First, it must integrate local elements.

Second, you are not allowed to borrow settings from science fiction works of other countries.

After experiencing the leak of questions, mandatory requirements, and biased rules, in order to ensure that everything was perfect, the White House even invited three science fiction masters who are famous in the world of science fiction. They are:

A rising star in North American science fiction, Hayden Christopher from Stanford School of Arts and Sciences.

The God of North American Science Fiction, Benjamin Jonathan, Honorary Lifetime Chairman of Science Fiction Literature of the United States of America.

Andrew Christopher, the father of North American hardcore science fiction and a science fiction professor directly under the federal government's Area 51.

These three are all well-known figures in the world of science fiction!
Even if they don't do anything behind the scenes, they are still strong contenders for the championship of this World Science Fiction Writing Competition just by relying on their hard power!
In order to win this world science fiction essay contest——

Even though so many obstacles have been set up!
Even though so many little tricks have been done behind the scenes!

Even though they have already invited three people who are masters in the world of science fiction!
But the result.
But it is still difficult to stop Jiang Hai's rise?
At this moment, President Alex felt like he had lost both his wife and his army, and that all his hard work in preparing for this had ended up being a boon for others:

“I can’t accept it”

The appearance of Jiang Hai gives people a feeling of defeating ten skills with one force and breaking all laws with force?
If a book fails to win the World Science Fiction Writing Competition.
Then I’ll write two!

If two books are also a bit stretched.

Then I’ll write three!

I admit that your country has a strong foundation in science fiction literature, and you have a group of the world's top science fiction writers.
but!

As long as I, Jiang Hai, am still on this field, it will be impossible for you writers from the beautiful country to easily win the championship of this science fiction competition!

Although there are thousands of people, I am going!
"First of all, after the evaluation of the organizing committee, the creative level of the two volumes of The Three-Body Problem is world-class." Victoria, the general manager of the competition, kept telling President Alex about the current situation. "The final score of The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth is 9 points, and the final score of The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest even reached a full score of 10 points, which has never been seen before."

It is hard to imagine that a writer can be so productive while maintaining the quality of his work?

It is also difficult for you to imagine that the interval between the production of cross-century works such as "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth" and "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" is -

It's only been a month?

Now the situation of the writers participating in the competition in the United States is quite embarrassing——

Some people can achieve the quality of Jiang Hai's creations, but some cannot achieve the quantity of Jiang Hai's creations.

Those who can reach the quantity of Jiang Hai's creations cannot reach the quality of Jiang Hai's creations.

It is hard to believe that in less than two months, two books could be published by the same writer.
Is it a science fiction work that is good enough to be selected as a "world-class" work by the organizing committee?

"Jiang Hai's momentum is unstoppable"

Even so, it is known that Jiang Hai is already in an absolute leading position in this World Science Fiction Writing Competition.

But President Alex still finds it hard to accept:

"For this World Science Fiction Writing Competition, we spent so much time and effort, mobilized so much manpower and material resources, but the result is..."

“You actually made wedding clothes for a writer?”

Who would have thought that the Fermi Paradox, which has troubled mankind for half a century, would appear in a science fiction book.
Found a hypothetical cause?
This situation was not anticipated by the organizing committee before the competition started.

Want to stop Jiang Hai and curb Jiang Hai's momentum of winning the championship?
It's hard.

So far, no writer has been able to launch a strong challenge to Jiang Hai's championship position.

But what if we don’t stop Jiang Hai?

The championship of the World Science Fiction Contest, which the United States had been preparing for for so long, fell into the hands of a writer like Yu Jianghai.
Are you feeling a little unwilling?
That was when President Alex began to frantically think about how to control the situation.

A sentence from Victoria, the general manager of the essay contest, gave him a sudden enlightenment:
"We can allow Jiang Hai to join the beautiful country's nationality."

Through Operation Guzheng, humans learned that the Trisolarans had monitored all humans on Earth through Sophon. In front of the Trisolarans, humans on Earth were like an open book with no secrets at all. Human thinking became the only black box that the Trisolarans could not know. In order to save humanity and rewrite the fate of human extinction, humans launched the Wallfacer Project and selected four Wallfacers from the vast sea of ​​people. They are:

From former Secretary of Defense Taylor.

From former Venezuelan President Rey Diaz.

From the European physician and politician Hines.

From university professor Luo Ji.

With the wallfacers, there will naturally be corresponding wallbreakers. The so-called wallbreakers were established by the Earth Trisolarian organization to help the Trisolarians crack the wallfacers' strategic intentions. They are on the opposite side of the wallfacers.

The purpose of the Wallfacers' existence is to protect the earth. They can only protect humans and fight against the Three-Body World by any means possible.

The purpose of the Wallbreaker's existence is to decipher the Wallfacer's plan and let the Three-Body World make countermeasures, so as to achieve the goal of destroying the world.

Under the deliberate arrangement of the author Jiang Hai, it is also to show [personal heroism] to the extreme.

Thus, an almost fateful duel began between the Wallfacer and the Wallbreaker.

new work time.

Stephen, a physics professor at the University of Chicago, scanned the plot about the Wallfacer Project in "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" in his arms with a look of astonishment:

"Is this Minister Taylor crazy?"

"He actually wants to organize a group of space force suicide squads. In the final battle with the Trisolarans, he wants to use ball lightning to attack the Earth's space force suicide squads, destroying their physical bodies and collapsing them into a quantum state. If the ball lightning plan is really successful, then humans will have the first quantum ghost army in history. With the ghost form, humans may be able to resist the Trisolarans."

"It's a good idea, but isn't this plan too cruel?"

"How many lives would have to be sacrificed to create such a ghost army?"

"Hundreds of thousands? Millions? Even tens of millions?"

"This Taylor is definitely a lunatic."

I heard Professor Stephen's complaints.

Professor Epstein from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, while correcting his views, was also incredulous:

"Sacrificing the lives of millions of people, is this what you call a madman?"

"In my opinion, the Venezuelan president, Rey Diaz, is the real lunatic."

"He actually planned to place a huge number of nuclear bombs on Mercury to threaten the Trisolarans. If the Trisolarans do not allow the Earthlings to survive, the Earthlings will choose to detonate the nuclear bombs on Mercury, causing Mercury to fall into the sun, and trigger a subsequent chain reaction, eventually causing several major planets in the solar system, including the Earth, to fall into the sun one after another."

"If we do this, the Trisolarans will certainly not be able to migrate to Earth, but..."

"The entire Earth civilization will cease to exist!" "This is equivalent to burying the entire human race on Earth!"

I don’t know when it started.

A full-scale discussion on the plot of "The Three-Body Problem" has quietly begun throughout the beautiful country.

Under the deliberate promotion of the world's richest man, Musk, a question began to appear on the largest LED screen in Times Square:
[Which wallfacer's plan are you willing to support? ]

Among the readers of these discussions.

Some people believe that Minister Taylor's plan has a certain degree of feasibility:
"Quantized ghost fleet?"

"This name sounds very cool!"

"It's worthy of the idea of ​​our beautiful country's Secretary of Defense."

Of course, some people think:

"The technological gap between the Trisolaran world and human society is simply not in the same dimension!"

"You think you can stop the Trisolarian attack with just a ghost fleet?"

“This is undoubtedly a fantasy!”

"This can't stop the Three-Body Fleet at all!

"Minister Taylor's plan is too idealistic, and Rey Diaz's plan is too brutal! In my opinion, the plan of medical scientist Hines is the final destination. The best strategy is to run away! Only the stamp of thought can continue the flame of human civilization."

This book not only caused such a horrific response in the United States, but also appealed to both the elite and the masses, causing many readers who had never read science fiction to join in the discussion.

Before the start of this world science fiction essay contest, this grand occasion——

Never seen before!

Extremely rare!

That is when everyone was discussing which wallfacer's plan was the final destination for mankind.

As the initiator of this event, Musk stood directly in the crowd of Times Square and announced to the people of the world:

"Luo Ji is the final destination of mankind!"

"The Dark Forest Law is the only hope to save human civilization!"

"When Luo Ji became the sword bearer of mankind, human civilization officially entered the era of deterrence."

The so-called Deterrence Era comes from the nuclear bomb chain deterrence system established by astronomy professor Luo Ji according to the Dark Forest Law. If the Three-Body Civilization insists on invading the Earth, then Luo Ji will use this nuclear bomb chain deterrence system to connect the cosmic coordinates of the Earth and the cosmic coordinates of the Three-Body World.

Let’s send them to the vast universe together!
By then, not only humans, but the Three-Body World will also be completely destroyed by the more powerful civilizations in the universe!

It's hard to believe that in a science fiction novel known for its logic, it actually
Can I see the long-lost passion?

When Luo Ji, abandoned by the world and having lost his identity as the Wallfacer, stood in front of the grave he had dug for himself, pointed a loaded pistol at his temple, and shouted in a tone of living toward death:
"I, Luo Ji, am speaking to the Three-Body World!"

In an instant, the world was shocked!

If Luo Ji pulled the trigger and his heart stopped beating, then the nuclear bomb chain deterrence system he had built would indiscriminately send the cosmic coordinates of the Earth and the Three-Body World into the depths of the universe:
"If you think of me as a bug, you ignore my warnings and question my civilization!"

"Then I will take you with me to destruction!"

The moment when the Three-Body World began to fear.

The moment when the human beings on earth were shocked.

At this point, the Earth officially entered the Deterrence Era, and Luo Ji became the most powerful person on Earth.

The first sword wielder!
He presides over the rise and fall of two civilizations!
Not only Luo Ji created an unprecedented era of deterrence in the book.

Jiang Hai, the author of "The Three-Body Problem", is also in reality——

It ushered in an unprecedented era of deterrence!
Biltmore Estate, inside the castle.

Jiang Hai was resting in his room. Looking at the invitation letter sent by the White House, he immediately felt confused:

"You want me to join the beautiful country?!?"

"I'm just participating in a competition, how can you let me choose?"

For the United States, if Jiang Hai is allowed to complete the subsequent creation of the "Three-Body" series, then there is no doubt that the United States' science fiction will dominate the world literature field.

Will be completely overturned by Jiang Hai!
As the old saying goes:

"If you can't beat him, let him join!"

Knowing that no writer can restrain Jiang Hai, let Jiang Hai leave and join
This seems to be the best solution now?

In a sense, Jiang Hai is also a sword-wielder. The final chapter of "The Three-Body Problem", "The Three-Body Problem 3: Death's End", is the sharp sword in his hand!
Once "The Three-Body Problem 3: Death's End" is released to the world.
The dominance of American science fiction in the field of world literature——

It will be completely ended!
Fearing the "sword" in Jiang Hai's hand, the White House gave Jiang Hai two options:

The first is to join the nationality of the Beautiful Country, allowing Jiang Hai to publish this epoch-making science fiction literature as a citizen of the Beautiful Country!

Second, if Jiang Hai refuses, "The Three-Body Problem 3: Death's End" will not be allowed to be released at the World Science Fiction Writing Competition. In addition, Jiang Hai will be restricted from leaving the country.
When Jiang Hai saw the two conditions given by the White House, he immediately felt awkward:

“What Mr. Qian experienced back then.”

"Now, it's going to happen to me again?"

It has to be said that the conditions offered by the United States to Jiang Hai are very generous.

As long as Jiang Hai agrees to join the citizenship of the beautiful country.

Whether it is money, real estate, or status, they are all enough for him to stand on top of the world.

only.
Two sentences of ancient Chinese are enough to describe Jiang Hai's mood at the moment:

"Fish is what I want, and bear's paw is what I also want. I cannot have both, so I will give up fish and take bear's paw."

"Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. I cannot have both, so I would rather sacrifice life for righteousness."

For Jiang Hai:

"I'm a fucking idiot!!!"

"You want me to join the United States, isn't that ridiculous?"

Who would have thought that it was fine when I came
Can’t go back when the time comes?
Who could have thought that Mr. Qian’s experience in the last century would happen again to Jiang Hai?
This matter was obviously beyond Jiang Hai's control.

This matter cannot be solved by his own strength.

As soon as he received the email, Jiang Hai immediately sought help from the local embassy in China and official organizations in China:

"What should I do?"

“My personal safety has been threatened.”

That is to say, the news that Jiang Hai was trapped traveled across the ocean and was transmitted back to the country.

Suddenly, an unprecedented heated discussion broke out in the country.

Decision made at leadership meeting.

The Ministry of Coast Guard immediately released a picture of the aircraft carrier fleet about to sail on public media:

"This is China in the 21st century, not China 70 years ago!"

"We will never allow the tragedy of seventy years ago to happen again today—"

“It happens again!”
