Chapter 277 You Are Not Guilty
The Earth government representative raised questions and hoped that Lin Feng could be more specific.
Lin Feng then smiled and said, "It's very simple. Just broadcast the coordinates of any random star in the universe whenever you have time."
The Space Force representative looked displeased. "Mr. Taylor, this is a formal meeting. Please be serious."
Lin Feng looked at the Space Force representative with an innocent expression. "I'm being serious, but I don't think you'll agree to my suggestion of 'broadcasting the coordinates of any random star in the universe every now and then,' so I'll change the condition."
"At the very least, we must ensure that the Swordholder is capable of faithfully fulfilling their duties when the Trisolarans invade the solar system, which means broadcasting the coordinates of the Trisolaran star system. This is the bottom line I'm setting, and it's also the bottom line for becoming a Swordholder. A Swordholder who doesn't have the courage to broadcast the enemy's coordinates is just an incompetent piece of trash. If a piece of trash becomes a Swordholder, it will be a catastrophe for humanity."
The standard proposed by Lin Feng was naturally aimed at Cheng Xin. As long as you can prove that you will press the launch button and broadcast the coordinates of the Trisolaran star system when the Trisolarans invade, the Taylor system will not object to you serving as the Swordholder.
Such a lenient approach is acceptable to major human economies.
Just as they were pondering how to prove that the Swordholder had the courage to broadcast the coordinates, Lin Feng gave them an idea.
Still in the virtual world, through strong psychological suggestion, the candidates for Swordholder are made to believe that the virtual world they are in is the real world. Then, real people cooperate to simulate the Trisolaran invasion and observe whether each candidate for Swordholder will actually press the button to broadcast the coordinates in a critical moment.
Cheng Xin definitely won't get past this hurdle. She'll just toss the launch switch aside, stare at it like it's a demon, and do nothing.
This is the last hurdle left by Lin Feng. With this hurdle in place, Cheng Xin will never be able to become the Swordholder.
Because no one can accept a useless person with no deterrent power as the Swordholder. In the original work, Cheng Xin was judged to have deterrent power because she had served as a PIA. However, if the test required by Lin Feng proves that Cheng Xin will not press the launch switch when the Trisolarans invade, the assessment of Cheng Xin's deterrent power will be readjusted and reduced to zero.
Moreover, unlike in the original story, the major human political entities now need a Swordholder who can obey their orders and press a switch whenever they want.
Unlike the original story, the human world now has an additional Taylor faction and a madman who dares to stir up trouble, which complicates many things.
The Earth government representative asked, "Do you have any other conditions to add?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment and then said, "We can't choose the Swordholder through elections. The Swordholder must become a figure feared by both worlds, and voting will never find such a person."
The Space Force representative questioned, "Then what should be done? According to this logic, no one is qualified to be the Swordholder. Surely the Taylor faction isn't going to choose who the Swordholder is?"
If the Taylor faction were to choose who would serve as the Swordholder, it would be unacceptable to everyone. They are precisely wary of the Taylor faction, which is why they demand a Swordholder to be at their disposal. Allowing the Taylor faction to appoint one would be like having the United States appoint the administrator of Russia's nuclear arsenal. Russia would have to be out of its mind to agree to such a thing.
Lin Feng replied calmly, "The Taylor lineage won't work either, but don't worry, someone is qualified to select the Swordholder, and that is Luo Ji, who has already become the Swordholder."
"Luo Ji has personally experienced what it is like to be a Swordholder. He knows better than any of us which candidate is more suitable to become a Swordholder."
……
The meeting ended there. Regarding the matter of the Swordholder, Lin Feng only proposed a review standard and did not interfere much further. As a result, the various human political entities did not have much resistance to the review standard proposed by Lin Feng.
After all, this is just a standard for ensuring the deterrent power of the Swordholder, not a brainwashing mechanism that would affect the Swordholder's loyalty to their own faction.
Lin Feng carefully recalled what he had raised at the meeting, and then thought of Cheng Xin, who was still in hibernation, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Looks like I was a little too cautious," Lin Feng said, shaking his head with a self-deprecating laugh.
Just as Lin Feng was considering whether he should go out for a walk to clear his head, a pop-up window appeared on his desk.
"Success!"
Lin Feng recognized the person in the pop-up window; it was the leader of the micro-scale research group. He had met him once before when they made a breakthrough in micro-scale research.
"What succeeded?" Lin Feng asked.
The research team leader excitedly replied, "The experimental research on seamless thought transfer has been a success! The experimental research has successfully transferred the thought process of a natural person to a neuronal computer with a brain-like structure by utilizing the observed collapse property of probability clouds!"
"Great!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng excitedly stood up abruptly.
The breakthrough in seamless mind transfer is no small feat; it means that humanity has now opened a tunnel into the microscopic world.
Humans can now enter the microscopic world!
Putting aside everything else, taking the original work as an example, if humans during the two-dimensional foil attack could shrink their size and mass to the size of an atom, they could escape unscathed with just a light-speed warp drive.
Just as Lin Feng was getting excited, the research team leader's next words made his heart skip a beat, and his mood, which was originally due to the breakthrough in the research, immediately took a sharp turn for the worse.
"Thanks to Ms. Suzumiya's help, she provided the research team with many new ideas and a new formula for the changes in probabilistic clouds after observation. Without her help, we would never have been able to overcome this problem so quickly," the research team leader said with emotion.
"Liang Gong?" A rare look of unease appeared on Lin Feng's face. "Is she alright?"
Lin Feng still remembered the quark bomb inside Ryouko's body. The Trisolaran world was monitoring Ryouko every moment to see if she was leaking any information about the Trisolaran world.
The research team leader said, "She's fine. We were just discussing the direction of microscopic research."
Lin Feng said, "Let her come and talk to me."
"Ok."
Noticing Lin Feng's solemn expression, the research team leader dared not delay and immediately went to find Liang Gong.
Not long after, the figure of Suzumiya was projected.
"Won't they have objections if you do this?" Lin Feng asked worriedly.
Liang Gong chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, passerby. What I did was naturally permitted by the Three-Body world."
"As for the reason, I can't tell you. It involves internal information of the Trisolaran world. You just need to know that the Trisolaran world does not object to me doing this."
Seeing that Liang Gong was alright, Lin Feng's tense expression relaxed.
He frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "Don't push yourself too hard. I brought you here not to watch you risk your life. Next time, just let me know. You almost gave me a heart attack."
"It's alright. I've recently learned some human medicine, so I can easily cure your heart disease, Passerby A."
The girl waved her little fist, looking confident and full of energy.
Lin Feng's expression immediately darkened. "That's not the point."
……
Not long after ending her communication with Lin Feng, Liang Gong's lively and cheerful demeanor quickly turned somber, her face as cold and frosty as those of the Trisolaran envoys.
"7309, the argument in the mother world is over, isn't it?"
Suzumiya asked, and then lines of text appeared in her pupils.
No, some of the ruling officials still maintain a very strong opposition to your involvement in human scientific research and demand that you be put on trial immediately.
[Don't worry, we support you, and so does the Führer. This seamless mind transfer technology can be used by humans, and the Trisolarans can use it too.]
By rapidly analyzing and assimilating these newly developed human technologies, and combining our light-speed warp drive spaceships with miniaturization, we can accommodate more Trisolarans, or even the entire Trisolaran civilization, within a limited volume, thus completing a massive interstellar migration.
[1314, you are innocent.]
……
Cheng Xin awoke from a nightmare that had lasted for two centuries, and a kind and infectious voice entered her ears.
"Hello, Ms. Cheng Xin, welcome to this era."
Cheng Xin recognized the man as an incredibly handsome man, far surpassing any man she had ever seen before. Her guard immediately relaxed because of his good looks and magnetic voice.
The doctor smiled and said, "Please don't be nervous. The Trisolaran crisis is over. The present era is no longer shrouded in the fear and gloom of your time. Everything has settled down, and the war between humanity and the Trisolarans is over."
"We will arrange a private intensive care unit for you to rest and recover, and will give you an approximate recovery time based on your recovery progress. We wish you a pleasant life in this era."
Cheng Xin was thus transferred to the intensive care unit on a mobile hospital bed.
Over the next few days, Cheng Xin lay in her hospital bed, gradually recovering her physical functions and regaining her ability to speak.
That day, Cheng Xin called out to the nurse who was walking into the intensive care unit.
"Do you know someone named Yun Tianming?" Cheng Xin asked.
The nurse shook her head. "I don't know."
Cheng Xin then asked, "So, did the Trisolarans intercept the brain of Project Ladder?"
"They should have intercepted it by now, right?"
The nurse gave an uncertain answer, and her gaze shifted to her colleague beside her.
Another nurse shook her head. "I don't know. I've never heard of it before. It must have failed."
"After the establishment of the multi-deterrence system, the Trisolaran First Fleet had to choose to deviate from its destination and go to other parts of the universe. However, the life support system on the Trisolaran First Fleet was severely damaged. Deviating from the solar system and far away from it, they were likely already in dire need of their own survival. If it were me, when my life was in danger at any moment, I would not be in the mood to receive any brains."
"I see..."
Cheng Xin looked dejected and extremely disappointed. If the Trisolaran First Fleet did not choose to receive Yun Tianming's brain that they launched, it would mean that Yun Tianming's brain would drift in the universe, far away from his home solar system.
Perhaps she would enter a star system, perhaps she would collide with a meteorite, perhaps she would fall into a planet; Cheng Xin dared not think any further.
Seeing Cheng Xin's low spirits, the nurse comforted her, "Don't be discouraged. What she said just now was just a guess based on the situation. It's possible that the Trisolarans really did intercept that brain. You can try contacting the Trisolaran envoy and asking them."
"The Trisolaran envoy? How do I contact them?" Cheng Xin was taken aback. The name "Trisolaran envoy" was unfamiliar to her, who had just awakened.
The nurse explained, "It can be done via the internet, but this requires an application to the government, then approval from the Taylor system, and ultimately, whether communication can be successful depends on the wishes of the Trisolaran envoy."
"In short, although some people have succeeded, the success rate is extremely low."
The gloom on Cheng Xin's face dissipated, and she smiled broadly, sincerely thanking the nurse.
"Thank you, thank you for telling me all this."
Chapter 278 The Sophon Shielding Room
During a meeting of core members of the Taylor system, Lin Feng learned about a very special building from one of the core members—the Sophon Shielding Room.
As the name suggests, it is a room that can block Somoko's surveillance. Once a person enters that room, they will no longer be monitored by Somoko.
Once this type of building appeared on Earth, it was quickly built in large quantities and has become a unique public facility on Earth.
Other human political entities have also become interested in these sophon shielding rooms, hoping to purchase the relevant construction technology from Earth governments.
"A sophon shielding room? You're telling me this thing can shield sophons?" Lin Feng looked at the relevant documents with a strange expression, flipping through them from time to time.
The core members of the Taylor system introduced Lin Feng to this sophon shielding room and proposed the idea of purchasing related technology from the Earth government.
"Yes, the principle is to use a uniformly distributed strong electric field to create a sophon blind zone..."
"Wait, hold on a minute, can a strong electric field create four-dimensional space?" Lin Feng interrupted the other person's explanation and asked incredulously.
"Uh... it's not about creating a four-dimensional space, and the sophon shielding chamber can't destroy the state of quantum entanglement," a core member chuckled.
Lin Feng asked curiously, "Then why did you say that the strong electric field created a sophon blind spot?"
A core member explained, "The principle of the sophon shielding room is to use a strong electrostatic field to prevent sophons from entering a certain area."
