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

"Has Tomoko come to see you?"

"Yes."

Cheng Xin felt her hair stand on end when Wade stared at her, as if the other party was not a human being but some ferocious beast.

"Sophon hopes to promote peace and common development between the two civilizations. If you continue to act in this way, then all of humanity and even the Trisolaran world will be your enemy."

"madness."

Wade slowly uttered two words, and it was unclear whether he was talking about Cheng Xin or Chieko.

"But I agree to your request. As long as you can help me promote the construction of the ring world, I can make certain concessions."

The Star Ring Group is now controlled by Ai AA, and the construction of the Ring World requires the efforts of the Star Ring Group.

It is true that Vader has the means to threaten all of humanity, but his goal is to speed up the construction of the Ringworld and shorten the construction period to as few years as possible.

In this way, if Wade encounters a group of fearless people who slack off with him and deliberately slow down the construction of the ring world, it will be a headache for him.

He couldn't really stand against the whole world, at least not now.

Therefore, making certain concessions is acceptable to Vader. He does not care about his own life or the authority of the Sword Wielder. As long as the goal can be achieved, everything can be abandoned.

"Tell me the conditions."

Wade looked at Cheng Xin, his face full of sarcasm.

Being able to reach a consensus with Zhizi and stand on the same front, the stupidity of human beings has exceeded his imagination, and Zhizi's choice to cooperate with Cheng Xin is even more stupid.

If he were to be a Trisolaran, he should start directly by beheading the Sword Wielder. At worst, he could activate the broadcast and die together, which would be better than this kind of painless threat.

Once the Ring World is built, humans will have a technological level that exceeds that of the Three-Body Civilization. Even if the Sword Wielder is no longer needed at that time, the Three-Body Civilization will no longer be a threat to humans.

Of course, without the identity of the Sword Wielder, Vader would surely be eaten alive by countless people, but as long as it can enable humans to have the power to compete with the Three-Body Civilization, Vader does not mind sacrificing himself.

"I have only one condition. We will assist in the construction of the Ring World in all aspects and obey your orders as the Sword Bearer. But if one day your orders threaten all of humanity, I will stop you!"

Cheng Xin looked at Wade with a determined look.

"It's that simple?"

"Well, it's that simple."

"Okay, I promise you, I took the position of Sword Bearer from you. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can take it away from me at any time."

Wade’s words made Cheng Xin stunned.

She originally just wanted to express her stance, but she didn't expect that Wade would voluntarily give up the position of Sword Bearer.

But after thinking it over again and again, she decided to give up asking the other party directly for the identity of the Sword Bearer. After all, Wade's promise might just be a joke and should not be taken seriously.

"Ved, although I don't know why you are so eager to build the Ringworld, I still don't want you to push all of humanity too hard. The Ringworld will be built sooner or later, it's just a matter of sooner or later, why are you doing this?"

"What are you afraid of?"

After Cheng Xin left the deterrence center, Cao Bin slowly walked out from behind Wade.

Ever since Wang Miao took over the construction of the Ring World, Cao Bin took a temporary break. It happened that a lot of research data from the Ring Sun Accelerator still needed him to analyze and digest, so he locked himself up during this period of time.

"This is really a sure-win deal. Your blank check can be exchanged for the accelerated construction of the ring world. Isn't this a loss?"

Cao Bin looked at Thomas Wade with a smile.

"Who told you it was a bad check?"

Cao Bin was stunned.

"Are you really going to give the identity of the Sword Bearer to Cheng Xin? You might as well give it to me!"

Vader took a deep breath.

"As long as the Ring World is not successfully built, we will always lag behind the Trisolaran World in technology."

"Only if we upgrade the technology of the entire civilization before the Three-Body Civilization does, will we have the capital to negotiate with the Three-Body Civilization in the true sense. The prosperity of the Deterrence Era is nothing but a bubble that will burst with a single poke. Before we have absolute strength, the Dark Forest will shroud each and every one of us."

"To this end, I will build a ring world at all costs. This is in great conflict with the interests of all mankind and even the Three-Body Civilization. Even if Cheng Xin is willing to help me, it is just a temporary solution. In the future, humans will surely want to chop a sword-wielder like me into pieces, but by then, they will also be protected by the power I created."

After hearing this, Cao Bin was stunned for a long time.

He knew Wade's ideals and ambitions, but he didn't expect that the other party would even consider this level.

Yes, if Wade continues as he is now, there will be more and more voices against him around the world. This is just like Qin Shihuang building the Great Wall to resist foreign enemies. His faults are in the present, but his merits will last for thousands of years!

"I will definitely keep my promise to Cheng Xin, but not now. Since she wants to be the savior, let her be the savior. Someone has to take the blame for this matter."

"Fuck, you really are a devil!"

Cao Bin almost laughed out loud.

Damn, Wade's move was really a disgrace.

He would give Cheng Xin the right to choose and let her stop him one day in the future.

Because at that time Vader would definitely be an enemy of all mankind. Even if people knew that Vader's ideas were beneficial to mankind, no one would agree with Vader's ideas.

But if the right to stop himself was given to Cheng Xin, it would be different.

Once Cheng Xin stopped Wade from continuing to serve as the Sword Bearer, then if any accidents happened later, the blame would be firmly on Cheng Xin's head.

People always regret the path they did not choose, just like people once disapproved of Luo Ji, but when Wade became the Swordsman, the voice of Luo Ji grew stronger day by day.

Once Cheng Xin comes out to stop Wade, then Cheng Xin will take over as the Sword Wielder. No matter what happens in the future, people will miss Wade's kindness and will be more convinced that the idea of ​​building a ring world is correct.

This is the backup plan that Wade left for himself. In this way, even if he died or other accidents happened, the construction of the ring world would not stop, but would be infinitely expanded.

Fundamentally, Cheng Xin was just a victim who was sold and had to pay money from beginning to end.

During the Ladder Project, Wade took advantage of the relationship between Cheng Xin and Yun Tianming to carry out this plan and put all the blame on Cheng Xin.

Unexpectedly, two hundred years later, Wade would trick Cheng Xin again.

It's also the girl's fault for not learning her lesson. Why did you have to pick on Wade when you could just pick on anyone else?

Wouldn't it be a sure thing that everyone would be blamed?

If Lin Xuan were here, she would definitely give a thumbs up to Wade and say, "You are worthy of being Wade."

In the original plot, Wade used this method to put a big and black blame on Cheng Xin.

At that time, in order to research curvature drive technology, the Star Ring Corporation had already fallen out with the Earth, and the armed forces were already ready.

But Wade knew that he had no chance of winning against the Earth. At that time, neither Cao Bin nor Bi Yunfeng supported Wade to continue researching curvature drive technology.

It can be said that the situation Wade encountered at that time was a hundred times worse than it is now. He was facing internal and external troubles and was almost at war with the whole world. Moreover, at that time he did not yet have the identity of the Sword Wielder, but was merely the boss of the Star Ring Group.

As a result, Wade did something magical, just like what he is doing now, pulling Cheng Xin out of hibernation and asking her to stop him, putting the blame firmly on this naive person.

This operation really shocked Lin Xuan at the time. After all, no matter how you looked at it at the time, Wade's operation was a bit tricky. It was obvious that the curvature drive had posed a threat to humans a long time ago, but Wade dragged Cheng Xin out to take the blame only after he found out that he was powerless to save the situation. He even acted out a drama vividly to make everyone think that he did not continue to develop the curvature drive because he kept Cheng Xin's promise.

is it possible?

Who is Wade? He is a devil who is determined to move forward at all costs.

If the situation was not really beyond redemption, Cheng Xin would probably not be awakened even if he slaughtered all humans.

It felt like the enemy had pushed to the high ground and the wave was about to end, and our Wade handed the authority of the main C to Cheng Xin who was AFK. Then, with the opponent looking confused, the crystal exploded, and the main responsibility for the loser was attributed to Cheng Xin, who was responsible for the main C.

There were two major mistakes. Wade tried to trick Cheng Xin, but Cheng Xin was willing to jump into the trap herself. These two people were in a situation where one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten.

Chapter 198 Human Characteristics

"Fuck, it's fucking big!"

Shi Qiang looked at the towering trees in front of him and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"If you read more, when you see this scene, you will use adjectives such as tangled and intertwined, reaching to the sky to describe this scene, instead of using a phrase like "so fucking big" to express the shock in your heart."

Liu Chang took off his glasses and wiped them with the cloth he brought with him.

"Yes, yes, whatever you intellectuals say is right."

Shi Qiang was too lazy to argue with Liu Chang, so he walked forward and reached out to touch the big tree in front of him.

This is the first functional building built by the tree civilization.

After the last bird's nest, the tree people, through constant exploration, mastered a kind of giant tree that could provide a continuous source of vitality to the surrounding tree people.

As long as its seeds are planted in the designated location, it can continuously radiate the energy it absorbs to the surrounding area, which is equivalent to an energy converter.

To describe it in human terms, this thing is an oversized voltage stabilizer.

Tree civilization is different from humans. The way they absorb nutrients is mainly through photosynthesis of light beams emitted by stars to replenish the energy they consume.

However, the efficiency of such photosynthesis is obviously much slower, and once cloudy weather occurs, the only way to replenish its own energy is to devour organic matter.

Thus, the first great invention of tree civilization was born: a towering giant tree that can continuously absorb solar energy. With it as the center, the surrounding tree people can feel the energy products of photosynthesis from the tree at the same time.

Since Zhang Beihai and his team arrived at Green Star, they have been transferring a lot of cultural knowledge to the tree civilization.

However, Chu Yan still managed to stay calm. What he gave to the tree civilization were just some miniatures of human art, and he had them specially processed.

All humanities knowledge related to human technology must be kept confidential, and we must try our best not to interfere with the normal scientific and technological development of this civilization.

This is all thanks to Luo Congmin. A long time ago, the future president proposed the conjecture of the knowledge sealing principle. However, at that time, humans had not yet conducted a general study of the dependency theory, so they only knew that they could not directly instill knowledge and technology into another civilization, but had to guide the other party step by step.

Because you don’t know, I can’t tell you, but I can guide you to understand it yourself. As long as this knowledge is understood by you yourself, it has nothing to do with me.

As a result, everyone soon discovered another characteristic of tree civilization.

They seem very stupid.

It’s not actually stupidity, but it’s a feeling that’s hard to describe, like my brain doesn’t seem to be very smart.

They seem to have difficulty reading the cues in some human languages ​​and understanding the deeper meaning of human words.

To put it bluntly, it is a lack of emotional intelligence. Humans must put their knowledge and technology out in the open.

When Principal Liu learned about this, the first thing he thought of was the Trisolarans.

The tree civilization seems to be just like the Trisolarans, and is naturally incapable of deceiving.

This made him feel very puzzled.

The Trisolarans did not know how to deceive because their way of communication was too simple and direct, which resulted in them being unable to decipher the deeper meaning of human discourse before they met Yun Tianming.

But what about your establishment of civilization?

Your communication is completely dependent on three main brains, so how come you are naturally prone to being deceived?

To this end, Liu Chang and Shi Qiang returned to the Navigator and discussed this issue with the awakened crew members.

"It seems that things are slightly different from what we imagined." Liu Chang stretched and leaned back in the chair.

"The Tree Civilization cannot cheat, and neither can the Three-Body Civilization. Does this mean that new civilizations will not be able to cheat from the beginning, and that they need to acquire this skill through acquired learning?" Chu Yan put forward his own idea.

"We can't rule out this possibility." Zhang Hokkaido said.

Shi Qiang lit a cigarette for himself.

"If we follow this logic, then deception is actually an innate skill unique to human civilization?"

Chu Yan shook his head.

"It doesn't make sense. The reason why humans can cheat is because our communication methods are too backward and complicated. They are not as efficient as the Trisolaran civilization, so the skill of cheating was born."

"And judging from the results, after the Trisolarans learned about the skill of deception, they were able to learn it very easily."

"As for the Tree Civilization, as a race that only needs three intelligent entities to complete the entire civilization decision, their civilization system should be more like the three-seat system established by Chang Weisi of the early Fleet International."

"That is to say, even though the political system and communication methods are different from those of the Trisolaran World, the Tree Civilization also shows that it is not good at deception."

After listening to Chu Yan's analysis, everyone present fell silent.

But not long after, Shi Qiang was the first to break the silence.

"I always feel that we are looking at this matter too superficially."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shi Qiang, waiting for his next words.

"There must be some key point that we have overlooked. Being incapable of deception is just a superficial phenomenon. There must be some very critical factor that causes this phenomenon. And a certain characteristic of humans happens to distinguish them from other civilized races. Humans are a special and alternative existence in this universe!"

Everyone was silent. After a long moment, the holographic projection of Cheng Xing, the fleet's artificial intelligence, appeared on the conference table.

"Everyone, the resource collection has been completed. It's time for us to leave Green Star. Don't forget that you still have a mission to accomplish."

Liu Chang frowned slightly when he heard this.
