As Lin Feng's receiver crackled to life, a human standing opposite him stood up, quickly walked over to Lin Feng, and warmly shook his hand.
"Humans?" Lin Feng asked instinctively, still in a daze, but then he immediately shook his head and denied it, "No, humans cannot survive in a vacuum."
"This is our spacesuit, just like the one you're wearing," the person shaking hands with Lin Feng said with a smile, pointing to himself.
"..."
Lin Feng opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
He now understood why this space city was in a vacuum: the Trisolaran world was forcing him to wear a spacesuit, so that the Trisolarans would have an excuse to meet him in their so-called 'spacesuits'.
Perhaps these 'humans' aren't spacesuits at all, but rather, like human mechanical doppelgangers, remotely controlled by the Trisolarans. Even if Lin Feng violently dismantles these 'spacesuits,' he might not see any Trisolarans.
All of this is easy to understand; the Three-Body world doesn't want him to know more about the Three-Body universe.
Lin Feng thought back carefully and realized that he hadn't seen the huge space ring accelerator in the original novel in the Trisolaran system. Now it seemed that the Trisolaran civilization had deliberately hidden it.
Perhaps their home planet is too.
Lin Feng sighed, "Why is the Trisolaran world so afraid of humans? Is it just because humans are good at lying?"
"Humans are to us the same way venomous snakes are to humans," Governor 3049 said with a smile.
“Snakes have venom, but humans don’t,” Lin Feng retorted.
The governor replied, “But humans have cerebral palsy, which is venom to civilization.”
That makes so much sense, I'm utterly speechless!
Having witnessed two centuries and countless ups and downs, Lin Feng could not refute this point, because it was simply the truth.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about serious matters."
As Lin Feng spoke, he found a seat and sat down. "I'm going to take Suzumiya, um, 1314, to Earth."
"Why take her to Earth?" a Trisolaran governor asked.
Lin Feng replied, "We made a promise, a promise we made two hundred years ago. Now I have arrived in the Trisolaran system to fulfill my promise."
"Is that all?" a consul asked.
“That’s all.” Lin Feng nodded and continued, “Originally, I wanted to wait until the two civilizations truly merged into one before bringing her from the Trisolaran system to Earth, but she no longer has time to wait.”
For a moment, the Trisolaran governors were engrossed in their discussion. They didn't speak, and Lin Feng only saw these 'humans' looking at each other before completing their exchange. What exactly they said, Lin Feng had no idea.
“We can agree to let you take 1314 away, but on the condition that she cannot reveal any information about the Trisolaran world to the human world,” said Governor 3049, who had previously shaken hands with Lin Feng.
“I can guarantee that,” Lin Feng replied.
“Humans are good at lying, and you are one of the best at it.” Another governor shook his head.
Lin Feng replied solemnly, "Having traveled from the solar system to here over two centuries is enough to prove the weight of my promise. As long as I am alive, no one in the human world can force her."
“Your assurances are powerful, but we have more faith in objective material phenomena, which are far more unshakeable,” Governor 3049 replied, then continued, “1314 will be planted with quark bombs and monitored in real time by the Sophons. Once she reveals information about the Trisolaran world to the human world, the Trisolaran world will immediately put her on trial.”
“If you accept this, 1314 will be handed over to you,” the consul who had previously objected replied.
Lin Feng fell silent, and finally, he answered.
"This is a decision she needs to make herself; I have no right to make the choice for her."
Chapter 236 The Truth of History is Like This
Because Lin Feng had obtained the technology for real-time information transmission through quantum entanglement from the Trisolaran world, his arrival in the Trisolaran star system and his successful meeting with the Trisolarans in a human space city modeled after the Trisolaran civilization were broadcast live to the entire human world.
Not only the solar system, but also other human colonies and other fleets still wandering in space, all knew in real time what Lin Feng was encountering in the Trisolaran system.
This is Lin Feng using intimidation and restraint to ensure his own safety.
If the Trisolarans were to attack Lin Feng, Luo Ji might not broadcast the coordinates, but the other human colonies and the wandering human fleets might not be so lucky.
Lin Feng not only cannot die, but he also needs to be protected by the Trisolarans so that nothing can happen to him. Therefore, the Trisolarans agreed to Lin Feng's request and sent a fleet to escort him, even though it was just a small squadron composed of sixty water droplets.
While Lin Feng was talking with the Trisolaran governors, the solar system's human internet was filled with curses.
"Damn it! Those Trisolarans are disgusting! They're worried that humans will learn more about the Trisolaran world's technology, so they deliberately staged this droplet escort and space city meeting! What's most infuriating is that they didn't even provide food or air for our representatives to prepare!"
The people of the solar system generally cannot accept this move by the Trisolarans. After all, human civilization is the victor in the competition with the Trisolaran civilization. How can we tolerate that our diplomatic envoys, sent by the victors, are treated like this?
"What's most infuriating is that these damned Trisolarans actually stole our technology! Using mechanical doubles for the meeting is a serious diplomatic blunder! Our representatives were present in person, yet they didn't. This is a huge disrespect to our human world! We should immediately broadcast the coordinates of the Trisolaran system!"
"These aren't mechanical doubles; they're their spacesuits," someone pointed out.
"A spacesuit? You believe that? How can you be more naive and adorable than the Trisolarans?"
"The Trisolarans don't lie. If they say it's a spacesuit, then it is a spacesuit."
Lin Feng remained oblivious to the clamor emanating from Earth, four light-years away. Although quantum entanglement enabled real-time information transmission through a two-way channel, Lin Feng had unilaterally shut down the ability to receive information from this side from the very beginning.
Because he had anticipated how noisy it would be on the other side of Earth.
As Lin Feng's conversation with the Trisolaran governors deepened, the number 1314 came into the minds of the people in the solar system.
"Feng Taylor spoke. Who is the '1314' he mentioned?"
Lin Feng demanded that the Trisolarans hand over their people. Considering what Lin Feng said before he set off, that he was going to meet an online friend, many people naturally guessed that the 'online friend' was 1314. But whether 1314 was a Trisolaran, a human, or some other alien, no one could say for sure.
The conspiracy theorist said, "Let me analyze this calmly. It seems that the people in the Trisolaran world refer to each other by numbers. The Trisolaran high-ranking official who shook hands with Feng Taylor just now also called himself 'Governor 3049'. 1314 should refer to a Trisolaran."
Many people find this conjecture unacceptable because the Trisolarans' thought process is transparent, making it inherently difficult for them to become supporters of humanity.
After all, if someone always has the word 'traitor' written all over their head, they will soon be eliminated by the Trisolarans.
Therefore, some people disagreed.
"But the name 1314 is a later change of address by Feng Taylor. The previous name was 'Suzumiya', so it should be a human."
"You're talking nonsense! Feng Taylor was the first human to arrive in the Trisolaran system. Before that, when had any human ever been to the Trisolaran system?"
"Perhaps it's some highly classified, undisclosed plan. I remember two centuries ago, humanity launched a brain at the Trisolaran fleet. This might be another one."
This hypothesis was proposed and quickly gained widespread support.
Then, not long after, someone quickly conjured up a poignant and epic alien version of Infernal Affairs.
"Do you remember what Feng Taylor's open intentions were when he was about to travel to the Trisolaran system a few years ago? He was going to the Trisolaran system to meet an online friend. As we all know, radio cannot maintain a network at a distance of four light-years. Even simple communication requires the amplification of stars. Therefore, this Haruhi Suzumiya is very likely the brain that humans launched to the Trisolaran world two centuries ago, and then obtained the right to use the sophon in the Trisolaran world. In these two long centuries, it has been secretly transmitting intelligence to Feng Taylor."
"The purpose of Feng Taylor's personal trip to the Trisolaran system this time is to welcome back this great spy who has made great contributions to the entire human world!"
Although there is no evidence to prove this, many people feel more and more that this is the truth.
To rescue this 'spy' buried in the Trisolaran world, Feng Taylor disregarded his own life and resolutely crossed four light-years to the Trisolaran system to demand that the Trisolaran world hand him over.
"Impressive! A master of deduction! Now everything makes sense! Why is Feng Taylor always able to foresee the direction humanity is heading? Why is he always able to step on the gas pedal of the era at the right time? Because he obtained intelligence from the Trisolaran world, giving him a higher perspective than humans, which naturally allows him to seize opportunities!"
The internet is filled with admiration and praise for Lin Feng. Crossing four light-years to the Trisolaran homeland to force them to hand over people is a move that perfectly fits the image of a 'victor'.
Humanity, as the victor in the war against the Trisolarans, should be like this!
"There should be a limit to how much you can imagine. If such a thing really happened, why isn't it recorded in history books?" someone complained, because there is no evidence to prove it.
Sending a brain into the Trisolaran world is such a momentous event that it's impossible for history books not to record it. Moreover, the brain successfully integrated into the Trisolaran world, gained their trust, and used sophons to provide information to Feng Taylor. The rationalists feel like they're listening to a fairy tale, thinking the Trisolarans are far too stupid.
However, rational people are ultimately a minority; the majority are fanatical.
"Little brat, do you really think that reading a few history books gives you a complete understanding of history? Or are you the administrator of the Taylorist archives?"
……
"Humans are truly thoughtful creatures," the leader remarked.
Beside the head of state, a regent reported, "We have investigated all the records of messages transmitted after 1314 used the sophon, and there are indeed no abnormalities."
"Has that brain been shown to you?" the leader asked.
The governor replied, "I saw it, but that brain didn't detect any hidden meanings in these exchanges. They were just ordinary exchanges, and some were sent at our behest."
The leader fell into deep thought, then said, "Then let's leave it at that. Anyway, 1314 will be taken away from the Trisolaran system."
Regardless of whether 1314 was a spy or not, regardless of whether she passed intelligence to Feng Taylor, it's all over now...
Chapter 237 You're just lusting after their bodies!
At one of the seats at the meeting place with Lin Feng, he waited listlessly for Liang Gong to arrive.
About an hour later, an automatic door to the room opened, and the Hanfu-clad girl from two centuries ago came into Lin Feng's view.
Liang Gong immediately focused his gaze on Lin Feng, who was wearing a spacesuit, and then the two locked eyes.
The girl in Hanfu walked slowly toward Lin Feng, her frosty face gradually regaining its color, as if an exquisite ice sculpture was slowly transforming into an elf who had fallen into the mortal world.
Lin Feng looked at the newcomer and smiled in response, "Liang Gong, I have kept the promise I made two centuries ago."
"If you can't come to me, then I'll come and pick you up. It's only four light-years away, not that far."
Liang Gong took Lin Feng's hand, and even though they were separated by a spacesuit, she felt as if this was the shortest distance in the world.
“Random passerby, I knew you would come. I’ve been waiting for you.”
The girl looked at Lin Feng, her eyes, clear as blue waves, brimming with a gentle warmth and trust. The curve of her lips was as perfect as a crescent moon, her smile as beautiful as a flower.
At this moment, the 3049 Consul spoke.
"1314, following Feng Taylor requires implanting a quark bomb and ensuring that you never reveal any information about the Trisolaran world for the rest of your life, otherwise you will inevitably face judgment from the Trisolaran world. Are you willing?"
"I do," Ryougo said firmly, as if she had used up all her strength. "I want to go to him."
Having received a clear answer, Governor 3049 fell silent. Lin Feng then said earnestly, "Welcome this way, Ryougu. Although there are many people with cerebral palsy in the human world, please don't worry, I will protect you."
"Ok!"
The girl in Hanfu gazed earnestly at the man's weathered face beneath the mask, and nodded heavily.
The matter of Liang Gong has ended, but Lin Feng's matter is not yet over, because his trip was not solely for Liang Gong.
"There's something I want to know. Two centuries ago, humanity launched a human brain at the Trisolaran fleet. Did the Trisolaran fleet intercept it?" Lin Feng asked.
Yun Tianming, a terminal lung cancer patient who died from the euthanasia bill, was chosen by his goddess Cheng Xin to participate in the Ladder Project.
According to the original plot, the First Fleet of the Three-Body Problem will receive Yun Tianming's brain and then begin in-depth research on the closed mindset of humans.
However, considering that in the Doomsday Battle, the Trisolarans used nine water droplets to annihilate humanity's antimatter warships, which were stronger than those in the original story, Lin Feng was not sure whether Yun Tianming's brain had been received by the Trisolaran First Fleet, so he needed to confirm this with the Trisolarans.
"I have no other intention than to know if he is still alive."
