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

"There aren't so many twists and turns. You guys are making things too complicated."

"What do you mean?" Luo Congmin was puzzled. She felt that both answers seemed reasonable.

Lin Xuan took a sip of tea slowly, and then spoke slowly.

"The Trisolarans' intentions are quite clear. They are telling humans that I am going to start deceiving you."

Shock value from Luo Congmin +25.

Luo Congmin never thought that Lin Xuan's interpretation would be like this. No matter how you look at it, this interpretation seems to have nothing to do with the fable, right?

Lin Xuan smiled.

"Your thinking is too subjective. You always like to speculate other people's intentions from your own perspective. This is too stupid."

"The butt determines the head. When you think about the intention of the other person's behavior and language, you must analyze it in combination with the other person's status. This is why the interpretation of ancient poems in Chinese must be combined with the background of the times and the identity of the poet."

"For example, if I had a daughter, I would definitely scold anyone who opposed the abolition of the bride price, but if I had a boy, I would definitely agree."

"So, what is their intention?" Luo Congmin was still confused.

"Of course it's to deceive you. If I'm not mistaken, the Trisolarans should have partially deceived humans about the technology they announced. They are giving us a shot of prevention." Lin Xuan joked.

"Never let down your guard against the Trisolarans. They are still much more powerful than us in terms of technology. Although your father has successfully established deterrence, it does not mean that we can be fearless."

"So this is ah!"

After hearing Lin Xuan's explanation, Luo Congmin did not seem too surprised. On the contrary, she felt relieved.

"I guessed it a long time ago, but I wasn't sure before. But now with your confirmation, I can be sure of my previous guess." Luo Congmin shook his head.

"We have never relaxed our vigilance against the Trisolarans, especially the knowledge they have transmitted to us. The Science Department has always been skeptical and only used it as a reference."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded slightly and gave Luo Congmin an approving look.

"How did you infer that?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.

"The knowledge sealing rules." Luo Congmin said with a smile.

"This is not difficult to infer. Lin Xuan, you have provided too much for mankind. Many things can be easily concluded through your previous theories."

"The knowledge sealing code does not allow advanced civilizations to transmit knowledge that does not belong to them to lower civilizations."

"Because you don't know, I can't tell you."

Although both parties are still unclear about the consequences of violating the knowledge sealing rules, and the Trisolarans have violated the rules several times under Lin Xuan's strong demands, they will never give knowledge directly to humans so easily.

They are a race unwilling to take risks, which is due to their harsh living environment.

Taking risks means having risks. Even if they have violated the knowledge sealing code, the Trisolarans will definitely try their best to reduce the number of violations of this code.

Then, it proves that a large part of the knowledge transmitted to you by the other party is definitely false, and only the theoretical knowledge that humans can understand by themselves is true.

"Just wait. Once the Circumsolar Accelerator is built, everything will be revealed."

Chapter 154 Dyson Sphere and Devourer

The Circumsolar Accelerator is only the first step and is also a prerequisite technology for lighting up the antimatter fuel technology tree.

But Lin Xuan did not intend to stop the project here, as it would be a huge waste.

"The fastest it will take to complete the solar accelerator is about five years, but that's too slow. In the short term, we can't expect antimatter energy to bring about much change in people's technology, so we must have another energy supply solution."

Lin Xuan knocked on the table and said.

"Professor Wang Miao."

"Uh...huh?"

Lin Xuan interrupted Wang Miao who was distracted. Since he had no work to do in the past few years, Professor Wang Miao's slacking off at work has become more and more serious.

Sure enough, people still can't sit idle.

In order to prevent his subordinates from suffering from Alzheimer's disease early, the thoughtful boss Lin Xuan decided to assign Wang Miao another big project to help him kill boring working time.

"Dyson Ring, can you build this thing? A simple version will do, I need energy."

"no problem."

Wang Miao said this subconsciously, but after he agreed, he instantly realized that something was wrong. It seemed that he had just taken on some extraordinary project.

Everyone present cast sympathetic glances towards Professor Wang Miao.

The Dyson ring is a simplified version of the Dyson sphere.

The biggest difference between the two is that the main function of the Dyson sphere is to use the energy released by the sun's fusion reaction for power supply, while the Dyson ring not only has to meet the energy supply function, but also has to meet living needs.

"This...isn't it a bit difficult?" Wang Miao frowned.

"Let me make it clear first. This is definitely not me shirking my duties. It is just that with the current technology of mankind, it is simply impossible to build a Dyson sphere."

As soon as the topic of work came up, Professor Wang Miao came to his senses.

"Whether it's a Dyson sphere or a Dyson ring, both require humans to have extremely high control over stars, which is something that even the Trisolarans may not be able to achieve with their current technology."

"It can be done."

Just then, a female voice was heard outside the door. Everyone turned around and saw Tomoko, who was wearing a kimono, standing outside the door.

"When did she come?"

Everyone was shocked. This was their internal high-level meeting, and they didn't expect Tomoko to be here.

"I asked her to come. The Trisolaran technology can provide us with some technical support. It's nothing. We are all one family."

Everyone was suddenly ashamed.

Good man, you really think of yourself as the leader of ETO, right? Now Tomoko is no longer a outsider in your eyes.

Lin Xuan smiled and waved at Chieko, motioning her to come in.

The latter then stepped into the conference room and sat next to Diaz.

This is Tomoko. She will subconsciously show her harmlessness at all times.

Among all the people present, the person with the highest combat power besides Lin Xuan was only Rey Diaz who was wearing power armor.

It is impossible for Chieko to sit next to Lin Xuan. First, she is afraid of her, and second, she wants to avoid suspicion. Therefore, the wisest thing to do is to sit next to Diaz, let him keep an eye on her, and expose herself to everyone at any time.

Tomoko looked at Professor Wang Miao, nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"Mr. Wang Miao, let me refute you. The Trisolarans do have the technology to build Dyson rings, but this technology is meaningless to us, so we haven't developed it vigorously."

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

Indeed, the Trisolarans' technology tree has long gone astray, with all the points added being adapted to survival and star expansion.

Things like Dyson spheres are completely useless and it would be a waste of time to build them.

"That's not quite right. Since you haven't built it before, how can you be sure that you have mastered this technology?" Lin Xuan asked.

The angle of his question was quite tricky, and his real intention was not to ask the question.

If a civilization mastered a technology that they had no use for, it could only prove that they had contact with another civilization.

Sure enough, Tomoko smiled at everyone.

"Sorry, this is our secret and I absolutely cannot tell you."

This time, the Trisolarans didn't even have the interest to make up a lie and simply told everyone that it was impossible to inform anyone about this matter.

But Lin Xuan has roughly guessed why they have mastered the Dyson ring technology.

Devourer!

That was a civilization that once lived on Earth, the dinosaur civilization.

They used to be the natives of the Earth, but for some special reasons, they chose to leave the Earth and built a giant ring-shaped spaceship to escape the solar system.

The Ring Ship has an upgradeable capability, similar to the Navigator.

They can upgrade or repair their ring-shaped spacecraft by continuously devouring other planets.

This was also one of the inspirations for Lin Xuan to create the Navigator.

If the ring-shaped spacecraft of the Devourer civilization is enlarged, it is actually a Dyson ring, but they do not have such a big appetite to swallow an entire star.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Three-Body Civilization has come into contact with the Devourer Civilization. As for how they came into contact, Lin Xuan has no idea.

However, it is estimated that under the coercion of the Dark Forest Law, the communication process between the two sides will not be very pleasant. This can be seen from the barely perceptible expression of disgust on Chieko's face. They must have suffered a great loss at the hands of the Devourer Civilization and did not even gain any benefit at all.

Otherwise, how could the Trisolarans not know about the existence of Earth civilization until Ye Wenjie sent the signal?

It doesn't make sense logically.

By organizing this information into a line, we can probably infer the general outline of the whole thing.

The Trisolarans had come into contact with the Devourer civilization in their early days and were almost defeated. However, they also learned the Dyson Ring technology from the Devourer. However, they found that this technology was simply not applicable to their own Centauri, so they gave up this technology.

After that, after contacting observers on one of the six Earths, they learned that the nearest Earth No. 4 was only about light years away from them, so they sent the Three-Body First Fleet to Earth.

Afterwards, Dyson ring technology was put back on the research agenda. After all, it was time to move to a new home, and building a Dyson ring in the solar system was a good choice.

But it still doesn’t make sense?

The Trisolarans hid a very crucial piece of information, which is why they built the Dyson Ring?

This question may not seem wrong at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there is a problem.

The reason why the Trisolarans did not build the Dyson ring before was simply because the conditions did not allow it. But if the Trisolarans occupied the Earth and still developed the Dyson ring, wouldn’t it be a bit strange?

This is just like you passed the undergraduate entrance exam and then went on to study for another undergraduate degree through self-study. It is unbelievable.

The Trisolarans are a race that will never waste even a single bit of resources. They must have had compelling reasons to do so, and the same goes for the Devourers; they almost made the same choice.

Abandon the Earth, not wander the Earth.

Lin Xuan knew the drawbacks of the Wandering Earth Project. Compared to building an ark to escape the Earth, the resource consumption of the Wandering Earth Project is simply astronomical, and the subsequent maintenance costs are also a huge sum of money. If the psychology of the masses is not taken into consideration, the Wandering Earth Project is very useless in any aspect and is not suitable for the continuation of human civilization.

But the resources consumed by the Trisolarans from Centaurus to colonize the Earth were already enormous, but they still chose to build the Dyson Ring. This shows that in this universe, the Wandering Earth plan has a very big drawback, which is even enough to destroy the entire civilization.

At this point in the reasoning, there are no more clues.

Being able to see the big picture from the small details, Lin Xuan possesses the thoughts of 30 billion people and can easily infer information beyond his own from some simple clues.

This is also one of the important reasons why he is far ahead of the Trisolarans in strategy.

Although I haven't figured it all out, I've gotten some very useful information.

The plan of wandering the Earth is absolutely not feasible in this universe. It is even very dangerous to do so. As for why, we have to trick the Trisolarans into revealing more information.

After a brief discussion with Wang Miao, the Dyson ring technology was finally finalized.

Wang Miao plans to build a space city large enough to surround the entire sun within 50 years to extract the energy released by the sun.

At that time, the Solar Accelerator will be able to continue to expand on the basis of this space city, thereby speeding up the speed at which humans produce antimatter energy.

This plan was also named the Halo Project.

Chapter 155 Dignity only exists on the edge of the sword, and truth only exists within the range of the cannon!

The 20th year of the Deterrence Era, 2235 AD.

Sophon's status among humans has become increasingly higher, and people have gradually recovered from the pain that happened twenty years ago.

There is even an organization that built a statue of Tomoko and the President of the Earth Federation, Luo Congmin, signing a ceasefire agreement in the central square, to symbolize the era of deterrence and peaceful development.

The Deterrence Era is a comfortable cradle where humans lie and transform from adults into children.

Luo Congmin has proposed military expansion many times over the years, but each time he was strongly opposed by the Local Federation Committee.

In desperation, Luo Congmin had to support a group of hardliners to take power again, and set up a strategic department outside the military to incorporate military theory into the education system.

But this is far from enough. In the current situation where there has been no war in the world for 20 years, the dovish peace concept has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Luo Congmin is going against the general trend. People cannot understand or agree with her practice of continuously expanding the military. Some people even associate her practice with the deterrence method of her father Luo Ji, believing that her actions will inevitably lead to a stalemate in the relationship between the Earth Alliance and the Three-Body Problem.

The lack of understanding from the grassroots, the trend of the times, and the opposition from the doves have become the biggest obstacles to this proposal, but fortunately, Lin Xuan was well prepared.

The plan to reinforce the future does not have only one phase. Before the Doomsday War, Lin Xuan once found Chang Weisi and asked him to continue to implement the second phase of the plan to reinforce the future.
