However, in the actual drawings provided by the Star Ring Corporation, the inner layer of the ring world not only has energy absorption modules that capture stellar energy, but also has a number of extended probes that are pointed towards the sun.

"Traction device, used to fix spacecraft and planets."

Ding Yi only took a glance and knew what this thing was for.

Wang Miao's research area is mainly materials engineering, so it is normal that he has never seen this kind of particle physics device, but Ding Yi is very familiar with this thing. He needed to use this thing when he built spacecraft parking areas before.

But Ding Yi really couldn't understand why Wade, or Lin Xuan, placed this thing on the ring world?

"Do you think it's possible that he was planning to drive the sun away?"

As Wang Miao spoke, he used a pen to add another semicircle on the outer layer of the ring world, enclosing most of the sun.

In this way, a simplified version of the thruster is formed, using the sun's energy as fuel, and the entire device will be pushed forward.

"Don't be too outrageous. What's the point of doing this? Driving away the entire solar system?" Ding Yi scratched his head.

"How should I know? You are a scientist and I am just an engineer. The design institute's drawings look like this, so I just made them like this. Why do you care what they use them for?" Wang Miao threw the drawings aside and stopped thinking.

"Is this why you built one of the propulsion units into a heating furnace when you built Reach?"

When Reach was being built, Wang Miao once took the blueprint of a thruster module upside down, and ended up building an inward-propulsion heating module, which shocked scholars at the Academy of Sciences, including Wei Cheng.

But later, Reach was destroyed by the water droplets of the Trisolarans, and only a few people knew about Wang Miao's dark history.

The construction of Halo is in full swing, but Vader's exploitation of the labor force of all mankind has also been opposed by a large number of people.

Around the seventh day of Wade's tenure as Swordbearer, an organization called "Savior" was quietly born among the human community.

Somewhere in Europe:

Thousands of people gathered in an abandoned underground city. On their arms, they all had a tattoo of a globe and three stars.

In this pattern, the earth represents human civilization, and the three stars represent the Three-Body World.

And on the high platform, Komo, the leader of the [Savior], was giving a loud speech.

"The incarnation of the devil, Thomas Wade, has mastered the power of the Sword Wielder. This is a disaster for both the Trisolarian world and the human world!"

"The Earth Alliance chose to remain silent, Lin Xuan chose to remain silent, and Cheng Xin, who was supposed to be the sword bearer, also chose to remain silent. It doesn't matter, we will speak up for them!"

"We are the saviors. We will save this enslaved world from the devil's hands, save the oppressed people from the devil's hands, and take back the identity of the sword bearer that originally belonged to Cheng Xin!"

"Comrades, friends, war is about to break out. Our path is tortuous and confusing. In this revolution against the Sword Bearer, we may sacrifice ourselves and die in battle. But, as long as we can save humanity, we will not fear anything!"

As Komo spoke, he raised his arm and made a fist.

“Save the world!”

Thousands of people in the audience followed suit.

“Save the world!”

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Vader's high-pressure policy can easily cause a backlash from the revolutionary army in human society.

Human society has never lacked revolutionaries who have the ideal of saving the world. Even when facing the Sword-Bearer Thomas Wade, they are not afraid at all.

As long as they are not afraid of death, even the sword-wielding man cannot threaten them.

There are more than one such organization, the Savior. Just seven days after Wade took office as the Swordbearer, revolutionary armies similar to the Savior appeared in more than thirty regions.

Although their philosophies are different, their ultimate goals are the same.

Overthrow the tyranny of Thomas Wade and return the identity of the Sword Bearer to its owner Cheng Xin.

In the eyes of humans, Thomas Wade is nothing short of a usurper, and only Cheng Xin is the sword-bearer chosen by orthodox humans.

Just like the emperors in ancient times, it is almost impossible for a usurper to gain the support of the grassroots masses.

Fortunately, Wade never thought about gaining the support of the grassroots people. He is a dictator and a tyrant, but this is also the basis for his absolute execution ability.

When Cheng Xin came to Luo Ji's house to see Luo Ji, she found that Zhang Xiang and others were also there.

Today is Luo Congmin’s birthday, so everyone gathered together and prepared to eat some hotpot to celebrate.

It's rare that so many people can get together today. Except for Lin Xuan, almost everyone in Lin Xuan's family is here.

"Hey, Cheng Xin, have you eaten yet? Please sit down."

Luo Ji was holding a bowl and saw Cheng Xin walking in from outside. He quickly patted Luo Congmin who was eating happily beside him.

"Go, go, add another pair of chopsticks for your sister-in-law."

After being reminded by Luo Ji, everyone present remembered that, to the outside world, Cheng Xin was still Lin Xuan's nominal lover.

"puff!"

When Zhang Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but choke. He took the tissue handed to him by Bai Bing and stood up.

"No, no, no, don't bother our president with this kind of thing. I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Cheng Xin felt awkward when she heard what Luo Ji said.

However, she still suppressed the shame in her heart, took the bowl and chopsticks handed to her by Zhang Xiang, and sat at the same table with everyone else.

Before she could speak, Luo Ji took the lead and broke the deadlock.

"Has the Star Ring Group been taken over by you?"

Cheng Xin nodded slightly.

"Well, after Wade became the Sword Master, Ai AA became the nominal boss of the Star Ring Group. I am now working for her as the technical consultant of the Star Ring Group."

"Sure. With your ability, it should be a good development for you in Star Ring." Luo Ji joked.

"Ah."

Cheng Xin still didn't say much, only Zhuang Yan was frantically putting food into her bowl.

The atmosphere once again fell into a strange awkwardness. After a long time, Cheng Xin finally spoke.

"I came here today to ask you to help me clarify the relationship."

Luo Ji seemed to have known that the other party would say this. He drank the white wine in the glass before speaking slowly.

"You want to talk about your relationship with the Savior organizations, right?"

"Yes."

Cheng Xin remained noncommittal. In recent days, a large number of rebels had openly rebelled against Thomas Wade under her banner.

Although Cheng Xin did not like to let Wade be the sword bearer, she knew that if the demon was really angered, he would most likely press the switch directly and destroy both worlds.

Therefore, even Cheng Xin felt dissatisfied with those people's behavior, not to mention that the other party was using her name.

It's obvious that I didn't do anything and those organizations have nothing to do with me.

Seeing this, Luo Ji couldn't help but smile.

"You know, Cheng Xin, you look just like my teacher back then."

Luo Ji and Yang Dong were classmates, and the teacher he referred to was naturally Ye Wenjie, the woman who brought devastating disaster to humanity.

“The only thing that a person being promoted as a savior and being sent to the guillotine has in common is that they both have no right to choose.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xin opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

"But you are much more miserable than my teacher. My teacher was at least nominally the spiritual leader of ETO. You didn't even meet those organizations, but you were used as a gun by them."

"Different."

Cheng Xin shook her head slightly.

"To be honest, I actually agree with the views of the Savior Organization, but Wade has too much power. I know that their rebellion is futile, so I have to stop them."

Cheng Xin took a deep breath.

"Teacher Luo, you should know as well as I do that once the devil Thomas Wade becomes the Sword Wielder, human society will suffer a catastrophe, but why don't you stop him?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ji paused involuntarily, and after a long silence, he spoke again.

"How can I stop him? It was Lin Xuan's idea for him to be the sword bearer. I can't possibly go against Lin Xuan, right?"

Cheng Xin's heart sank immediately when she heard this.

She said, why was Wade's action so smooth? Without Lin Xuan's assistance, how could Wade avoid Chieko's surveillance?

If the security around the Sword Bearer could be breached so easily, then the deterrent would have long since ceased to exist.

"But... you have to consider the people in both worlds. Aren't you being too selfish?"

When Luo Ji heard this, he put on an indifferent attitude.

"I am indeed selfish. I have always been a selfish person."

"I said before that I served as the Wallfacer just for Zhuang Yan and the child. If it weren't for that old woman Sai Yi threatening me with my family, what would it have to do with me even if humanity was destroyed?"

"Later, I became the Swordbearer for the same reason. I could consider humanity, but the prerequisite was that my family was safe."

"You can say that I have no vision and that I am narrow-minded. Three hundred years ago, they said in the name of the country that I was an academic fraud, that I wasted national resources and never considered the country. Two hundred years ago, they said in the name of the international community that I was a traitor to humanity and that I did not consider humanity. Now, you stand up and say that I do not consider people from either world."

"But Cheng Xin, from the beginning to the end, I have never changed. From the beginning to the end, I have always been that narrow-minded and selfish person who only cares about my family."

"Of course I don't mind fulfilling my responsibilities to protect humanity and the world, but the premise is that this must not conflict with my other choices. The conditions for being a Swordbearer and a Wallfacer are both based on ensuring the safety of those around me."

"My stance is different from yours. Between country and family, I will choose family. Between the world and country, I will choose country. Between civilization and the universe, I will choose civilization. I can't be as righteous as you, but you are not qualified to judge my stance."

"Do you know why the Three-Body Cradle Project wanted to train a large number of interstellarists? That's because interstellarists are most likely to lean towards the path of white leftists. They can easily blur the line between the greater good and the individual."

"Similarly, Lin Xuan is our friend, and his choice is also our choice. Do you expect us to become Lin Xuan's enemy, form a team, and then fly to chop off Lin Xuan's head?"

"Maybe others can do it, but we can't."

"As for now, I have fulfilled my duties, and Vader is more suitable to be the sword bearer than I am."

"As for what means he uses, I don't care."

After Luo Ji said the last sentence, it was obvious that he wanted to send the guest away.

Cheng Xin was left speechless by what the other party said and had no choice but to get up and leave.

Before leaving, Luo Ji spoke again.

"If you still agree with your ideas, you might as well go and talk to Wade in person. Maybe you will change your mind."

Chapter 196 The Sword Bearer: Thomas Wade!

"Father, this is too high. I will die if I fall down!"

"Vade, you just need to move forward. This is my order. No matter what is ahead, you have to move forward!"

On a platform several meters high, a boy who was only seven or eight years old was holding onto a pillar beside him with one hand. In front of him was a wooden bridge made of iron chains.

The height of the bridge from the ground is about ten meters, which is like a cliff for a child of seven or eight years old.

Without any protection, if he lost his footing, he would fall directly from mid-air and be smashed to pieces.

On the side, a man in military uniform was looking at the boy above with a serious face, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"War may break out again at any time, Wade. Your mother and I cannot protect you forever. When we are gone one day, you must learn to make decisions on your own."

World War II has ended, and the Axis powers have completely collapsed after the island nation also announced its surrender.

But the pain brought by the war was unforgettable to everyone. It was also from that time that Vader's father suddenly began to let Vader participate in daily training to prepare for the war that was very likely to break out again in the future.

This caused Thomas Wade a lot of trouble. Both of his parents came from the military, and they knew too well how to train an ordinary person into a soldier who could participate in war.

Vader's various trainings almost pushed his physical strength to the limit to ensure that he could survive the war that was likely to break out in the future.

Vader has undergone at least dozens of different types of devilish training like this.

"You have no right to retreat. You can only move forward before you run out of energy. So, kid, don't hesitate!"

Hearing his father's words, Wade had no choice but to grit his teeth, take a big step forward.

Although there was no protection, the physical training that Wade's father had given him was effective.

Even on such a steep bridge, walking was not as difficult as he had imagined. As long as he overcame the psychological barriers, everything seemed to be a natural process.

But how could my father’s training be so simple?

Wade turned around and saw that his father below had taken out a pistol from his waist and was aiming at him.

"boom!"

Without hesitation, the father pulled the trigger of the pistol in his hand. A bullet flew past behind Wade and instantly broke the connection between the bridge he was on and the rear into two sections.
