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

"What do you mean I don't know?"

This time, the tree man was silent for a long time, as if he was searching for the language in the chip that could answer this question.

After a long while, Shu Ren finally answered.

"We were born less than a year ago."

Shock value from Shi Qiang +25!

Liu Chang quickly took over the conversation.

"You mean, your species was born a year ago, and this planet didn't look like this a year ago?"

"I don't know. When I woke up, this was it."

The two were silent. From their conversation with the tree man, they roughly understood a piece of information.

This planet should have been greened a long time ago, with the exact time probably being between 50 years ago and about 1 year ago.

These tree people are the product of the greening of this planet.

This can also be seen from their behavior.

These tree people... are as young and innocent as human babies.

They are like a newborn baby, full of curiosity about everything in the world.

Why do you say that?

Because after seeing Shi Qiang and the other two, they did not choose to attack directly, but instead communicated with them.

What does this mean?

This shows that their civilization has not yet comprehended the Law of the Dark Forest!

Otherwise, the moment they saw the Navigator coming, they would either choose to hide themselves or attack the other side, and there would definitely not be the option of communication.

"That means you don't even know who created you."

"Yes."

"Then how many tree people like you are there on this planet?"

"About 100 million...but there are only three of us who can do what I do."

Liu Chang was puzzled.

"What do you mean by people like you three?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he discovered that among this group of tree people, there were three who seemed a little different.

A tree man has two crowns, one above and one below, which looks very strange, as if a willow tree was split into two parts in the middle, and then the upper crown part was copied symmetrically at the bottom.

It is actually a willow tree that is symmetrical up and down!

As for the other tree man, his trunk looked a bit like a pillar. It was thickest at the base and became thinner as it went up, in sections. It also looked very strange.

Only the tree man who had been communicating with the two looked relatively normal.

Its hips are particularly high, and its two thick thighs made of branches are standing apart on the ground. From a distance, the tree man looks like a large triangle, and its shape is a bit like an Eiffel Tower.

"These little things are really unique in appearance," Shi Qiang commented.

"I don't think you're talking about appearance. I think I understand what you mean. You mean that you three tree people are the only intelligent creatures on this planet, right?"

"Yes." The tree man nodded.

Just like humans and apes, although the tree people look similar, in fact, only these three tree people on this planet have the ability to communicate.

"Do you have a name?" Liu Chang asked again.

"Name? No name."

"So what do you call each other?"

The tree man raised his arms, and in an instant, their hands made of branches were connected together.

"Well, we communicate by exchanging memories. We don't need to communicate with words."

"Wow, another alien civilization that can communicate without speaking. So it's us humans who speak with our mouths, right?"

Hearing Shi Qiang's words, the tree man seemed to suddenly think of something and spoke.

"I've seen humans!"

"What?" Liu Chang and Shi Qiang were both shocked!

"I have seen humans. He looks very similar to you. He should be the same species as you."

Liu Chang's breathing suddenly became rapid. This tree man said that he had seen humans!

But it is absolutely impossible for humans on Earth to have ever reached this planet!

That means there really are other human civilizations in the universe!

This discovery is so shocking...

Even more valuable than studying this tree.

If there are other human civilizations in the universe, how do they develop? Are they the same as human civilization on Earth?

Is the other party's evolution the same as that of humans on Earth?

All of a sudden, too many questions flooded Liu Chang's mind. Before, he felt that he had lost out by not being able to return to Earth, but now it seems... this is simply a huge profit!

"where are they?"

"That human only comes here once every five years. He said that this planet originally belonged to him, but some experiment failed, so it became like this. People in the past called him the Observer!"

"Observer!"

Liu Chang and Shi Qiang are both familiar with this title.

This is what the Trisolarans have always called Lin Xuan.

At first everyone thought that this was just a name within the Trisolaran community, but now it seems that this name has another meaning!

Unfortunately, they are too far away from the Earth to establish communication. Otherwise, Shi Qiang feels that this news will definitely interest Lin Xuan.

"How long has it been since he last left?"

"It's been about four years. We came here just to wait for his arrival!"

……

Shi Qiang quickly sent the information provided by the tree man back to the Navigator.

After unanimous discussion between Zhang Beihai and Chu Yan, they decided to rest here for a year and wait for the arrival of the legendary observer.

Cheng Xing also agreed to this resolution because it did not conflict with her program settings, and she also needed to use this planet to replenish the Navigator's fuel.

"By the way, Tree Man, since you don't have a name, let's give you one, so that it will be convenient for everyone to call each other in the future." Shi Qiang suggested.

"Okay, no problem." The tree man nodded in agreement, and the other two tree men had no objection.

They haven't realized what's waiting for them next.

After thinking for a few seconds, Shi Qiang slapped his thigh.

"I figured out what it's called."

As he spoke, he pointed at the large triangular tree man that had been communicating with them.

"You, yes, you. From now on, your name will be Triangle Tree!"

As he spoke, he pointed to another tree man that was made up of sections that looked like bamboo joints.

"From now on you will be called Segmented Hanshu!"

"As for the last one...just call it the Complex Function Tree!"

Liu Chang: …

Chapter 160 Immigration Plan

The 60th year of the Deterrence Era, 2275 AD.

"Today is the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the deterrent. The President of the Earth Federation, Ms. Luo Congmin, arrived at the observatory near the orbit of Neptune yesterday and had friendly exchanges with the Trisolarans as usual."

"In his conversation with Sophon, Luo Congmin said that promoting the common prosperity of the two civilizations is the primary goal of peaceful development. Human civilization and Trisolaran civilization learn from each other in humanities and technology, support each other, and make progress together. They also discussed the immigration issue raised by Trisolaran world."

"The leaders of both sides had an in-depth exchange of views on the immigration issue and enhanced their understanding of each other. This meeting is beneficial to all mankind and the Trisolaran world."

Lin Xuan lay on the sofa, watching the news report on TV, and couldn't help pursing her lips.

"It seems that the negotiations between the two parties were not going smoothly this time."

Shock value from Wang Miao +15.

Wang Miao was stunned when he heard Lin Xuan's words.

"How did you know?"

Lin Xuan pointed to the TV news in front of her.

"Let me teach you a trick for reading the news. For news about a meeting between the leaders of the two countries, if the report says that the two sides had a cordial and friendly conversation, then it means that the deal is likely to be successful. If it says that the two sides had a frank conversation, then it means that the two sides have big differences. If it only says that they exchanged opinions, then it means that they each said their own thing and there was no possibility of a discussion at all."

"I see!"

Wang Miao suddenly understood.

"What about people like them, who exchange ideas in depth?"

"That means not only are we not talking to each other, but we can't even communicate at all."

"Even the subsequent statements about how the two sides had better understand each other and that the talks were beneficial to both sides, etc., all indicate one thing - the talks between the two sides broke down!"

Sure enough, when Lin Xuan finished speaking, the shutters in the room were unlocked from the outside, and Luo Congmin rushed in from outside and went straight to the bathroom.

Obviously, she had been holding it in since the beginning of the meeting. No wonder she looked so uncomfortable during the live broadcast. I thought the Trisolarans had made some extremely excessive demands.

"Ah, poor child." Wang Miao said with a smile.

In fact, Luo Congmin had no need to be the president. She was simply forced into the position.

There is no way. After becoming the Sword Wielder, Luo Ji has become the most prestigious and powerful person in the world.

With the help of Lin Xuan's medicine, the Deterrence Era may last for a thousand years.

People went from being grateful to Luo Ji in the beginning, to being in awe of Luo Ji later, and now to being afraid of Luo Ji. Soon, they will evolve to the final stage... questioning Luo Ji.

In order to deal with this situation, as Luo Ji's only daughter, Luo Congmin naturally had to shoulder her responsibilities.

Having her as the sole president of the Ground Federation can effectively appease Luo Ji, or to put it in a more accurate way... intimidate Luo Ji.

For the Trisolarans, Luo Congmin is the only breakthrough point for Luo Ji, the Sword-Bearer, so they are naturally happy to let Luo Congmin take power.

Not to mention the grassroots people. After Luo Congmin came to power, he proposed a large number of people-friendly policies. Some of these policies even touched the interests of the upper-level financial groups, but they were still adopted.

Just because she is the daughter of the Sword Wielder, even the consortium does not dare to confront the Sword Wielder head-on.

You can say that she is trying to win people's hearts or that she is taking the opportunity to retaliate, but the grassroots have indeed benefited from the policy benefits.

Robbing the rich to help the poor is perfectly demonstrated in Luo Congmin.

In this way, the powerful people want to use Luo Congmin to deal with Luo Ji, the Trisolarans want to make Luo Congmin a breakthrough for the Sword-Bearer, and the grassroots people enjoy the preferential policies brought by this president.

Almost all three parties want her to continue serving as president, but she herself does not want to do so.

Just like Luo Ji who lost his identity as the Wallfacer, without the identity of the President of the Earth Federation, her power as the daughter of the Swordholder is still sky-high, so her re-election is entirely due to the political needs of the three parties.

Lin Xuan said with a smile after Luo Congmin came out of the bathroom.

"How did the meeting go, Mr. President?"

Luo Congmin took off his suit jacket and threw it aside, then picked up a sea blue fruit on the table and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Sea blue fruit is a new type of fruit cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and it tastes very good.

Because it is blue all over and the environmental conditions for its growth are extremely harsh, it can only be produced in the northwest of the sealess New Territory and the Tianshan area.

When it matures, it looks like a blue ocean from a distance, hence the name.

Luo Congmin spoke only after showing off three or four sea blue fruits.

"The talks broke down, completely."
