Let you be the wall-facer: you turn around and join the Three-Body Problem?

“Dependency theory?”

Lin Xuan was a little shocked. It was the first time he heard this term. This related theory had never appeared in the original plot.

At first he thought he had spelled it wrong, but after trying again and again, it seemed that only these four words made the most sense. But what did this mean?

Lin Xuan began to search for clues from Yun Tianming's previous words, and all the allusions revolved around Luo Congmin.

"The second Luo Ji..."

"I failed to become the second Luo Ji..."

Lin Xuan pondered over it again and again, and finally understood what Yun Tianming wanted to express!

"The Dark Forest Law is not the only law in the universe. There is another law called the Dependency Theory, which runs parallel to the Dark Forest Law. But Lin Xuan has no idea what this Dependency Theory specifically refers to. It seems that we can only look for relevant clues from the education industry."

Yun Tianming let out a long breath and shook his head helplessly.

His meaning was very clear, he had nothing more to tell Lin Xuan.

Then the next step is to officially enter the negotiation phase between the two parties.

"My conditions are very simple. First, the Trisolaran world must release the curvature drive technology to humans."

"Second, provide humans with technology that can destroy sophons in the third dimension."

"Third, share your basic sciences with humanity. Remember, I want the real version."

Yun Tianming was about to nod and say yes, but he quickly realized that something was wrong.

"No...wait, what do you want?"

Shock value from Yun Tianming +60.

Shock value from the Three-Body Archon +99x12.

All 13 consuls were stunned for a moment, and they were unable to react for a moment.

"Lin Xuan wants us to provide technology to humans?"

"Yes."

"That's not right... Aren't we the winners of the war?"

"Yes."

"What does he mean? We defeated the humans, but we have to give them benefits?"

"Yes."

Lin Xuan's words immediately burned out the CPUs of all the Three-Body Archons, including Yun Tianming.

After a long time, Yun Tianming rubbed his head and spoke.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, negotiation requires capital. Humanity is now in a desperate situation. Even if we have wings, we can't fly away. Don't you always want to preserve the flame of human civilization? Why don't you let the rebellious humans lay down their weapons first? On behalf of the Trisolarans, I will absolutely guarantee their safety."

Yun Tianming was speechless. It seemed that Lin Xuan had not figured out the situation yet. Although he also wanted to help humans gain more resources, this was not the way to do it.

In the current situation, humans have absolutely no chance of fighting back. To be frank, whether they can keep their territory depends on the Trisolarans... Of course, the prerequisite is that they have to have reflective skin like the cutlassfish.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile when she heard that.

"Let me explain my logic to you. Have the Trisolarans occupied the Earth now?"

"Not yet, but once the fleet arrives, they will immediately occupy the entire solar system, including the Earth."

"Okay, so did the humans lose the war?"

"That's right. Apart from the escaping star-class warships, they are being cleared out one by one by three strong mutual detectors. Humanity has no chance of resisting anymore."

"Okay, then humans lost the war and lost the entire solar system, but what does this have to do with me, Lin Xuan?"

Yun Tianming: ???

"Isn't that right? I am not a human civilization, and you didn't defeat me. What does it have to do with me?" Lin Xuan continued to ask.

"No...he..."

Yun Tianming was completely stunned.

It seems... what Lin Xuan said really makes sense. The defeat of mankind really has nothing to do with Lin Xuan. After all, he does not belong to human civilization.

"Wait, that's still not right. Even if you didn't lose the war, you didn't win either. Why should the Trisolarans bear the war reparations?"

"Who said I didn't win?"

Lin Xuan slowly opened the sleeve of her clothes, revealing a watch on her arm.

"Observer, what do you want to do?"

The moment they saw that thing, the Trisolarans could no longer sit still. They bypassed Yun Tianming and used their smart devices to negotiate directly with Lin Xuan.

"This thing should be familiar to you. It's the cradle system invented by Rey Diaz, the anti-trigger device."

"It will monitor my vital signs at all times. Once it finds any abnormality in my vital signs, or I actively destroy it, it will immediately stop sending information. Do you want to guess where I connected the end of this thing?"

Chieko quickly projected words in front of Lin Xuan.

"That's impossible. All your plans have been destroyed by the water droplets. There's no way you have any backup plans left."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly after hearing this.

"It is true that you destroyed all my plans, but there is one thing you forgot, and that is the Van Gogh Plan."

"You mean the Human Memorial Project? We destroyed that, too. The entire Reach was destroyed. There's no way it still exists."

Lin Xuan smiled, and his smile made all the consuls present feel creepy.

It was as if Lin Xuan was saying, "Look at you guys, how innocent you are."

"You did destroy Reach. I really admire your rigor in this regard. You even destroyed a plan that seemed meaningless. It seems that you were really wary of me."

"But unfortunately, there is one thing you seem to have got wrong."

"Reach is only the painter's brush. The real painting has already been completed. Even if you break the painter's brush now, it will not affect the painting itself."

"Where is the painting?" asked Tomoko.

Lin Xuan pointed to the roof above his head, but everyone in the Trisolaran team knew that Lin Xuan was referring to the entire universe.

"The universe is a canvas. Once the brush is put down, the paper cannot be cleared back to its original blank state, just like those paintings by Van Gogh. Therefore, this plan is unsolvable from the beginning. You can't let the water droplets reach the solar system before the painting is completed, and you can't restore the universe to its original state after the painting is completed."

"The so-called [painting] is actually a photon projection made by radioactive materials. All you need to do is press the switch of the light bulb, and then the [painting] will be projected onto the entire solar system."

"It's like projecting a movie into the solar system. This is the essence of human memorial engineering. These projections will exist in the space of the solar system for hundreds of millions of years, or even longer."

"So what? It just adds a touch of color to the solar system. Once outside the solar system, these images will be difficult to observe from the outside world," asked Tomoko.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"Yes, so this is just the first state of the [painting]. Press the switch, the light bulb lights up, and the [painting] is projected onto the canvas of the universe like a movie. But what if... this energy does not act on the projector, but directly on the canvas?"

This time, Tomoko quickly gave her own calculation results.

"The [painting] projected into space will undergo gamma decay due to its excessive energy, continuously emitting electromagnetic waves."

"Yes, the locations of these paintings are carefully selected by me. Once they decay at the same time, they will continuously broadcast your star coordinates outside the solar system."

"You should know what will happen. The Dark Forest Strike. The universe is a dark forest. Every civilization is a hunter with a gun. Once they find the other party, they will immediately shoot at them. The role of the broadcast is to light a bonfire and attract other hunters to come and check here."

"It only takes one broadcast, and the Dark Forest Strike will surely come, because there are too many civilizations in the universe. Even if this hunter is not interested in this bonfire, the other hunters will try to shoot in this direction."

"And the painting that Van Gogh planned, the broadcast is almost uninterrupted, that is, at the moment it completes decay, it is not holding up a torch in the dark forest to attract others, but directly using the torch to ignite the entire dark forest around it."

"You may not just be facing an ordinary Dark Forest attack. All star systems within a radius of dozens of light years around Centaurus will be attacked by the Dark Forest. By then, this place will become a dead place!"

"You are such a lunatic!" Yun Tianming was so shocked that he was speechless.

A strike with a radius of dozens of light years means that no life will be able to successfully escape from here. After all, the speed of the strike will definitely be faster than the escape speed.

But after listening to Lin Xuan's narration, all the Three-Body Archons breathed a sigh of relief.

"Observer, you are scaring us."

"You definitely can't start a broadcast and invite the Dark Forest to attack you."

"No, to be precise, anyone in this world can initiate a broadcast, but you absolutely cannot."

"This is against the experimental guidelines. If you really do this, you as an observer will die in the most tragic way."

Lin Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked back in a different tone.

"It seems that you are quite familiar with the duties of an observer. How come you have met other observers before?"

"Yes." Tomoko replied.

"That is the observer of Earth 6. He has visited our planet and told us the stories of six Earths."

"Humans are the children of that civilization. The Earth does not refer to a specific planet, but to all human planets."

"There are a total of six Earths like yours in the universe. These are the six experimental fields left by that civilization. However, two have been destroyed now, so there are only four Earths left."

"Observers are collectors of experimental data. Every Earth has its own observer."

"You do not belong to Earth civilization, but are data collectors for each experimental field. Your biggest responsibility is to collect data, and you are not allowed to interfere with the growth of crops in the fields. Once you actively disrupt the progress of the experiment, your main civilization will punish you. Am I right?"

There was a hint of pride in the Trisolarans' tone, as if they were proud of their erudition.

After hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"So that's it."

"What do you mean...you don't know the experimental guidelines?"

The Trisolarans were immediately shocked.

"I don't know. I'm not an observer, so how would I know?"

Chapter 143: This is the moment when the stars of humanity shine

Quiet.

The whole place fell into deathly silence.

The last time a similar scene occurred was when Lin Xuan faced representatives from various PDC countries.

All the consuls of the Three Body System didn't know what to say for a moment. They thought of ten thousand possibilities, but they never expected that Lin Xuan would do this to them.

After everyone was silent for a long time, Tomoko finally showed two words.

"Viper."

That’s right, this is the second name the Trisolarans use to refer to humans besides bugs. In their eyes, humans are as cunning as poisonous snakes, and Lin Xuan is the best among them.

His cunningness is simply hard to guard against.

"So, you are not a spokesperson for any advanced civilization at all?"

Lin Xuan smiled.

"I never said I was one from the beginning. Wasn't this so-called observer identity forced upon me by you from the beginning?"

The Trisolarans remained silent.

Indeed, it seemed that from the very beginning, it was because we and others wishfully believed that the other party had the identity of an observer that the current result occurred.

In this regard, it is not really Lin Xuan’s fault. It is simply that the Trisolarans have too many imaginations.

"Wallfacer Lin Xuan, this turns out to be your real plan to face the wall. We have all been deceived by you!" The military consul was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He didn't expect that due to one mistake, he and others would actually be defeated by the wallfacer.

"Wait a minute, this is not right. If Lin Xuan is not the observer, then many things don't make sense." said the Scientific Archon.

After he reminded them, everyone finally reacted.

"Yeah, it doesn't make sense. If he is not the representative of that advanced civilization, then why does he have so many strange and non-human technologies?"

Indeed, the Trisolarans were not too surprised by the various technological products that Lin Xuan took out, entirely because of his identity as an observer.

Then if Lin Xuan is not the observer, nothing makes sense.

"In fact, technology is easy to explain. After all, that civilization may have left some backup plans on Earth. Although the probability of being discovered by ordinary people is small, it is still possible."

"What really puzzles me is his previous actions. If he is just an ordinary person, how could he be there to observe every important moment?"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but be stunned by the words of the Trisolaran.

"What do you mean by every important moment, I will be there to observe?"
