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

It seems that all these plans point to one person.

Lin Xuan!

He was the one who led all of this!

He foresaw the future course of the entire incident and arranged everything in advance.

At this moment, both the Trisolarans and the Earth Alliance were speechless with astonishment at Lin Xuan's stunning move.

It gave him hundreds of thousands of shock points.

At the same time, in the deterrence center, Wade put the muzzle of the gun against Cheng Xin's forehead. At this moment, as long as he slightly pulled the trigger, Cheng Xin's head would instantly explode into countless pieces within a second.

But Wade did not take the next step.

"Cheng Xin, I don't want to kill you. It's meaningless to me. For the sake of our colleagues, please leave on your own."

Wade is not a merciful person. Killing Cheng Xin here and now will do more harm than good.

No matter what, Cheng Xin is still the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the agent of the Earth Union and the Three-Body Civilization. Killing her here would be detrimental to subsequent plans.

Moreover, the most crucial reason is the step-by-step plan.

Cheng Xin was the proposer and executor of the Ladder Plan. The Ladder Plan had been successful, which Wade knew when he first founded the Star Ring Group. However, the Trisolarans never revealed Yun Tianming's whereabouts, but only acknowledged his existence.

Wade didn't know what the current relationship between Cheng Xin and Yun Tianming was, not even Yun Tianming's attitude towards Cheng Xin, so it was a wise choice to play it safe and not kill Cheng Xin.

It was an established fact that he would become the Sword Wielder. Given this, he was unwilling to kill too many people, as this would lose the support of the people.

"Mr. Luo Ji, I will take over your position and serve as the second generation Sword Bearer."

As Wade spoke, he stretched out his other hand and asked Luo Ji for the gravitational wave transmitter.

"Teacher Luo, you can't give him the controller!"

Cheng Xin almost screamed out, she didn't care that Wade's other hand holding the gun was still against her forehead.

"Teacher Luo, you are now the only one who can stop this devil. You must not give control to this devil, or both worlds will suffer an unprecedented catastrophe!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I don't mind killing you." Wade said coldly.

At this time, Luo Ji sighed helplessly and slowly raised the gravitational wave transmitter in his hand.

"I know."

"But...what does that have to do with me?"

As soon as Luo Ji finished speaking, he handed the transmitter directly to Wade, who took it steadily in his hand.

"It's over!"

All the officials of the Earth Federation and the Trisolarans were disappointed at the same time.

Wade has obtained the gravitational wave transmitter, which means that the handover ceremony of the Sword Bearer has been completed, and he will be the well-deserved second-generation Sword Bearer.

The moment Wade took over the gravitational wave transmitter, Luo Ji's eyes were no longer as deep as before.

He seemed to have regained his youth in that instant and became the cynical academic fraudster he once was.

"I said, the Sword Bearer never got his position through election. He has a gun, and I don't want to get killed. You should at least bring some weapons with you next time you come."

Luo Ji teased Cheng Xin and walked towards the elevator without looking back.

"Want to come together? It saves me from having to press the elevator twice for you."

……

When Cheng Xin and Luo Ji took the elevator to the ground, they were immediately surrounded by dozens of armed forces wearing power armor.

"Mr. Luo Ji, the President has prepared a special car for you to go to New York. Please follow us."

Luo Ji was not directly sentenced as in the original novel. After all, he has a daughter who is the president. The United Front would have to be crazy to try Luo Ji.

Luo Ji left the deterrence center accompanied by a group of people, leaving Cheng Xin alone standing there in a daze.

"Where should I go now?"

Cheng Xin was a little at a loss for a moment.

After being confirmed as the Sword Bearer, she had lost all her positions in the Earth Federation and was now unemployed.

This farce has ended, but Cheng Xin, as a pawn, seems to have been abandoned by the whole world.

At this moment, a small spaceship suddenly came from a distance and landed in front of Cheng Xin, with the emblem of Star Ring Group engraved on it.

The hatch opened, Ai AA rushed down from the spaceship and hugged Cheng Xin.

"As long as you're okay."

"AA, I..."

Cheng Xin wanted to say something, but Ai AA stopped her from saying the next thing.

"It's okay, Cheng, this is the best ending. Come back with me, the Star Ring Group needs you."

Chapter 192 We Promised

“A decisive blow.”

Lin Xuan placed the last piece on the chessboard, completing his entire layout.

At this time, the white pieces fought their way out of the heavy encirclement of the black pieces, leaving a gap in Tomoko's originally airtight encirclement that was enough to be fatal to her at any time.

"What a brilliant plan, Mr. Lin Xuan. I have to admit that you are the teacher of the Trisolarans in terms of strategy and layout. Even now, we still cannot defeat you in terms of strategy."

Chieko's expression showed no signs of sadness or joy. Ever since Lin Xuan divided the battlefield into two, she knew that the opponent's trap had been set. No matter what the Trisolarans chose, they would lose a piece of their flesh to the opponent.

"Although you and humanity have both won the local war, this has also exposed all your cards. Just like the Hundred Regiments Campaign, if the overall situation of the war has not been reversed, then this brilliant move will only prolong the survival of human civilization for a few more years."

As Chieko spoke, she made another move. Compared to the roundabout tactics just now, Chieko's offensive this time became increasingly fierce.

After Lin Xuan exposed all her methods, she no longer had anything to fear.

"Humanity's ingenious strategies are nothing compared to the absolute power of the Trisolaran civilization."

……

Meanwhile, Centauri.

The three suns are moving in a disorderly manner relative to each other, and the huge gravitational force is tearing apart all matter that attempts to stabilize this space.

With the existence of these three stars, the Trisolarans almost lost the possibility of moving their mother star and building an ark spacecraft.

Just as the sixth observer, Earth, had evaluated them, as long as the Three-Body Civilization does not solve the problem of the three suns, they will never have the possibility of becoming a Level 3 civilization in their lifetime.

Compared to humans, the Trisolarans have few options for solving the Three-Body Problem.

The reason why humans do not choose to wander the Earth and eliminate the Dark Forest Law itself is more because there is not enough time. With the threat of the Three-Body Civilization, humans simply do not have enough time to build enough planetary engines.

The reason why humans do not choose to build an ark spaceship to accommodate most of the human race to escape is because the remaining half will definitely not agree to this plan.

It seems to be a subjective matter anyway.

But the Three Body is different. He has no choice in these two. He is faced with objective problems that do not allow him to do so.

The absolute gravitational force of the three stars tearing each other apart is enough to tear the planets and warships to pieces in the early stages of the two plans.

As for the question of whether it is possible to detonate a star to solve the Three-Body Problem... the scientist who proposed this idea has been designated by the Führer as the first person to be executed.

Detonating a star?

You really think you are not dying fast enough.

If the position of one of the stars is slightly changed, the three stars will collide with each other due to the gravitational force of each other. At that time, with Centaurus as the center, the area within 1 light year will be swallowed up by the lava hell of the stellar explosion, forming a life-forbidden zone.

And the only one who can solve this problem is another civilization.

This is the fundamental reason why the Trisolaran civilization is determined to occupy the Earth. There is almost no possibility of reconciliation between the Trisolaran humans and civilization.

As long as the Trisolarans occupy the Earth, they can continuously transfer their people from Centaurus. Even if the Earth is not necessarily suitable for the current Trisolarans to survive, it is also a stepping stone.

At least the Trisolarans can build larger warships, and the idea of ​​spaceship migration can also be realized on Earth.

Otherwise, taking the situation in Centaurus as an example, it would be a pipe dream to build a planet-sized spacecraft like the Navigator. All technologies are locked at the pinnacle of Level 2 civilization, and there is no possibility of breaking through.

"Prince, the handover of the Sword Bearer has been completed. The successor to the second-generation Sword Bearer is Thomas Wade."

The intelligence officer reported the situation on Earth in detail to the Trisolaran leader, who remained silent for a long time and fell into deep thought.

"understood."

After a long time, the Three-Body Leader finally brought his attention back to reality. He no longer had the energy to be angry.

Ever since Lin Xuan appeared, the Trisolarans' combat plans on Earth have been defeated time and time again. The advantages they had built up over the centuries are disappearing bit by bit, and even because their technology is locked at Level 2 civilization, their development is being caught up by humans bit by bit.

This made all the top leaders of the Three-Body Organization feel a little bit of pressure.

"Prince, it seems that we have completely lost the possibility of occupying the Earth. Should we discuss with Wade to see if we can gain some benefits from the construction of the ring belt?" asked the newly appointed Scientific Archon.

"After all, judging from the recent developments of the Star Ring Corporation, Vader seems to care a lot about the research and development of the curvature spacecraft. Maybe he will really agree with our plan to build the Ark?"

The Ark Project is an alternative plan established by the Trisolaran civilization when it first discovered the Earth. After successfully occupying the Earth, the Trisolarans will build a spaceship in the solar system that is the size of a planet, large enough to accommodate all of their members.

In this way, even if the coordinates of the two civilizations are accidentally exposed in the future, the Trisolarans can escape on their spaceship and find a new home.

But the cultural and educational governor on the side voiced his opposition.

"If the sword wielder is Luo Ji, our proposal may be adopted. But if it is Wade, then our proposal will undoubtedly expose our intentions, which will be detrimental to the construction of the Ark."

"You have missed the last chance. I said at the beginning that I would propose to Luo Ji that the Trisolaran civilization and human civilization should jointly build the Ark. Your hesitation and arrogance have made us lose the last possibility of escape!" said the Scientific Archon angrily.

"This is not our fault. If we had followed the original plan, we should have completed the occupation of the Earth in the 61st year of the Deterrence Era, and the construction of the Ark would have been carried out simultaneously. Before Lin Xuan appeared, none of you here thought that we would be defeated so thoroughly, right?" Although the military governor was not in the right, he still retorted.

When Luo Ji served as the Sword Bearer, if the Trisolarans could choose to give up occupying the Earth and stop plotting against the Earth, then Luo Ji would most likely agree to the Trisolarans building an ark in the solar system.

After all, the Trisolarans obviously want to never come back. They plan to leave this nebula and go play somewhere else. They will never bother humans again.

But the Trisolarans were greedy. They were too confident in themselves and believed they still had hope of occupying the Earth.

So they did not take the initiative to discuss this matter with Luo Ji, and now, this has backfired, making the Ark Project completely impossible.

Given Wade's character, even if he knew that the Ark Project was an action taken by the Trisolarans to cut off their tail and survive, he would not give the Trisolarans this opportunity.

To him, the only fate of the Trisolarans is to be wiped out!

"enough!"

The Trisolarian leader took a deep breath and calmed his restless mood.

"We haven't lost yet. If Lin Xuan can make a comeback, so can we."

"But... I don't intend to gamble the fate of the entire civilization. It's too risky. Even if we really have the opportunity to build an ark in the solar system in the future, it will be a long time in the future, and we may not be able to survive until then."

"We have to be prepared."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the consuls below changed and they looked towards the head of state above.

Everyone knows what the other preparation the Führer mentioned is.

"Please help me contact Daya and tell him that we have accepted the invitation of the Devouring Civilization. The Three-Body Civilization will fulfill its promise and become a subsidiary civilization of the Carbon-Based Federation together with them."

Chapter 193 Cretaceous Past

About an hour later, the screen in the conference room suddenly lit up, and Daya, the messenger of the Devourer Civilization, appeared on the screen.

"Hahaha, you unpalatable jellyfish, we meet again!"

Upon hearing the other party's address, all the Three-Body senior executives present felt their veins bulging.

This was not the first time they had met Daya. Hundreds of years ago, Daya had invited the Trisolarans to join the Carbon-Based Federation and become a subordinate civilization like the Devourer civilization.

But the Three-Body Civilization refused and fought with the Devourer Civilization, but in the end neither side was able to do anything to the other.

However, if it were today, the Devourer civilization would almost be crushed by the Three-Body civilization, and the civilization gap between the two sides has already spanned about one level.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why the Three-Body Civilization refused to join the Carbon-Based Federation!

Dependency theory!

Once a civilization forms a dependency theory of suppression on another civilization, the upper level limit of this civilization will depend on the upper level limit of the suppressed civilization.

This is also the reason why the Carbon-Based Federation was able to be born under the Dark Forest Law.

Dependency theory is equivalent to a one-way security declaration from one civilization to another. It is a means of self-castration of one's own development prospects in order to show its superior civilization its absolute security.
