Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 143 Intimate Big Sister

Tomoko's face is beautiful, comparable to Xiling's, but it is also stiff, maintaining an expressionless look from beginning to end.

Such an indifferent exterior belies sincere words, creating a strange sense of amusement.

"Hehe, human civilization has discovered a truth over the long years: a gentleman seeks harmony but not uniformity, while a petty person seeks uniformity but not harmony."

"It means that a virtuous person pursues harmonious coexistence and respects each other's differences, while a petty person rejects those who are different and lacks tolerance and compassion."

"We always treat friends from afar with the courtesy due to gentlemen. But we are ready to fight back with swords and spears against those who harbor ill intentions."

"Miss Tomoko and everyone who is about to arrive on Earth are our honored guests,"

"Therefore, human civilization will extend the greatest goodwill to you all, and only hopes that this is not a story of the farmer and the snake."

Having been in contact with humans for a long time, Zhizi naturally knew this fable, but her understanding differed from that of ordinary people, hence her reply:
"The farmer is foolish. Doesn't he know the nature of snakes?"

"For a snake, a farmer is an extremely dangerous creature, so it will inevitably bite him once it awakens."

"The Trisolaran civilization is different from humanity,"

“We can communicate and deter each other. When deterrence fails, the best way for the two civilizations to survive is the integration and development you mentioned.”

"So we won't end up like the farmer and the snake."

Jiang Fan looked helpless. It seemed that Zhizi hadn't made much progress; the Trisolarans' super artificial intelligence program was far less promising than Xiling.
"You can understand it that way, but I'd like to tell you from a more emotional perspective that we should be grateful for life."

A clear look of doubt appeared in Zhizi's eyes, but Jiang Fan didn't care. He often talked to Zhizi about such topics, and his purpose was definitely not to make Zhizi become like a human, but to transmit cultural concepts to the Trisolarans through Zhizi!

Just like now,

With neither the leader nor the scientific governor present, the Trisolarans responsible for controlling the protons heard the word 'gratitude'.
He didn't understand, so he asked Zhizi to ask.
"What do you mean by gratitude?"

Jiang Fan spoke eloquently.

"Gratitude is both a feeling and a behavior. Humans are always grateful to Mother Earth because she has given us all the resources for survival, so we should cherish her environment."

"The same applies to relationships between individuals. When you help me or show me kindness, I am grateful and will try my best to help you in the future. This mentality creates a positive cycle in our interactions with each other."

"The same applies to the relationship between civilizations. Human civilization welcomes guests with the utmost goodwill, which is a proactive gesture of goodwill. If we want a reciprocal relationship between two civilizations, then the Trisolaran civilization should also be friendly to humanity."

The Trisolaran behind the Sophon nodded as if suddenly enlightened; this logic of gratitude made sense, so he could accept it.
"I understand. If humans come to the Trisolaran system, we will welcome them with open arms!"

Jiang Fan suddenly coughed. Only someone with a screw loose would go to the Trisolaran system. What if they ran into the Chaotic Era? Wouldn't that be a disaster?!
"It's not that the same approach is the only way to express gratitude. For example, the Trisolaran civilization's living environment is harsh, but the solar system's environment is stable. Besides Earth, there are also habitable planets like Mars for the Trisolarans to migrate to,"

"Human science and technology are far inferior to the Trisolaran civilization, so the way to repay gratitude can be through technological exchange or other means."

Tomoko's voice suddenly turned surprised.
"Mr. Jiang Fan, you just mentioned that there's Mars available for us to migrate to. Does that mean you'll allow us to live on Mars?" Jiang Fan didn't answer directly, but rather inquired indirectly.
"The premise of civilizational integration is mutual assistance. The harsh living environment in the Trisolaran system can be seen through the film 'My Trisolaran Star,' where many people feel pity for you."

"But as I said before, if only one civilization is giving and the other is only receiving, then even if humans have emotions, they will not be idiots when it comes to such ungrateful civilizations."

"If the Trisolaran civilization were to continuously provide technology to human civilization but receive no help in return, and even resort to intimidation to prevent the Trisolarans from reaching the paradise-like solar system, would you still show goodwill towards humanity?"

Zhizi shook her head decisively.

"Under these circumstances, we would rather stay on Trisolaris than transfer any technology to humanity!"

Jiang Fan nodded slightly.

"That's right, that's the logic. If human civilization doesn't receive feedback from the Trisolaran civilization, it would rather destroy Mars or Earth than welcome the Trisolarans."

The Trisolarans over there understood!

As simple-minded as he was, he immediately replied,

"But only the head of state and the consul have the authority to decide how to use the secrets of civilization; no one else has that right."

Jiang Fan curled his lips into a smile.

"That's a truly unfortunate system. Look at the Blue Star civilization today. Anyone can obtain all the information from the Second World because they are part of the creation of civilization and should enjoy all its fruits."

"Was the Trisolaran civilization created by its leaders or governors? Didn't the other Trisolarans make any contributions? Why can't everyone share in the fruits of their labor?"

Jiang Fan and Zhi Zi always kept their conversations brief and to the point; some things couldn't be said too directly, lest the seedlings be nipped in the bud.

A Trisolaran civilization with a unified system is not the kind of civilization he wants to accept.

Throughout the history of cultural integration, in which instance has the top echelon been eliminated, and only the people at the bottom were absorbed?

The Trisolaran system must undergo an epic rebellion to allow the seeds of a new culture to grow into a towering tree and replace the old rulers!
Humans should play the role of a caring older sister, and finally step forward to propose a relocation plan to the new Trisolaran regime!
Seeing that Tomoko remained silent, the man changed the subject and asked,

"What identity will those Trisolaran guests who have traveled from afar choose to live on Earth? Will they maintain their original forms or be transplanted into cloned bodies?"

Zhi Zi looked up; this time, it wasn't the Trisolarans controlling her. She replied,

"According to the commander-in-chief, they will represent the Trisolaran civilization to experience the feeling of independent thinking for the first time, in order to prepare for future changes."

Jiang Fan nodded.

"This aligns with my thinking. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since I'm on Earth, I should experience life as a human!"
