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

"You mean, the willow tree that created them may not be able to give birth to independent consciousness, so the three tree people were allowed to go out independently and find an opportunity to become intelligent life?"

Liu Chang nodded.

"Yes, I can't think of any other possibility. If I were the big willow tree, I would never do such a thing unless I had no choice."

Shi Qiang let out a long breath.

"So what you mean is that there is actually a competitive relationship between these three tree people? In the end, only one tree person can occupy this planet and become an intelligent life form and reproduce. Is there any evidence?"

When Shi Qiang said this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Wait, why does this operation look so familiar?

Isn’t this what Observer Tianchen and his group are doing?

The experiment on the six Earths originated from the six experimental vessels that were separated out after the main civilization discovered that it could not break through the limitations of dimensional upgrading.

The dimensional upgrading problem encountered by the other party is just like the situation in which the tree people civilization fights for intelligent creatures and reproduction rights.

"So this is in line with the saying, if I can't do something, I should give birth to a son and let him accomplish it." Shi Qiang couldn't help but complain.

The big willow tree could not break through to become an intelligent creature, so it gave birth to three tree men. The civilization that created humans could not break through the limitations of dimensionality, so it created six earths.

"But all this is just your inference, and it doesn't seem to be tenable, Principal Liu." Shi Qiang said.

Liu Chang also nodded slightly.

"It will take time to verify. To prove my theory is correct, we must figure out how the dinosaur civilization on Earth became extinct."

"If my hypothesis is correct, then the dinosaur civilization at least had a war with another civilization other than humans during the Cretaceous period, but in the end, for some unknown reason, neither civilization was able to gain the right to become intelligent creatures, and instead humans came out on top."

Shi Qiang couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this.

"That's ridiculous, Principal Liu. Dinosaur civilization? They even went to war with another civilization. You're acting like you're in a sci-fi movie. If that were true, then the dinosaur civilization would have at least left some of its technology on Earth. Moreover, I don't think humans can defeat the dinosaur civilization on their own. Could it be that we humans are descendants of aliens?"

Liu Chang waved his hand, indicating that he was too lazy to discuss this issue with Shi Qiang. After all, conjectures without evidence only remain at the hypothesis stage. He turned and looked at the three tree men.

"So, you have actually recovered some of your memories a long time ago, but you didn't tell us until now because you were afraid that we would take any of you away just now, right?"

The tree people did not comment.

If a planet only allows one intelligent civilization to exist, then once they are brought aboard the Navigator by Liu Chang, they will directly lose the right to participate in this war that concerns reproduction.

That's why they didn't tell this matter until now, because they knew that Liu Chang and the other two alone could not take them away.

As for the World Tree's demonstration of its ability to control others just now, it was actually warning Liu Chang and the others that their clone troops were no match for the three tree men.

Sure enough, things turned out just as Liu Chang had imagined, and they encountered the worst situation.

"Hey."

Liu Chang sighed helplessly. They were originally in the active situation, but in the blink of an eye they became the passive party.

The next second, the hands of the Tree of Life turned into countless pieces of paper and directly built a cage of branches around the two people's bodies, locking Liu Chang and Shi Qiang inside.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. We just need to detain you for a while. Before the three of us can decide the winner, we don't want any foreign creatures to get involved in this matter."

Chapter 201: Assassination of Tomoko

Inside the Deterrence Center, Thomas Wade leaned back in his chair, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers.

"So you suspect there is more than one Tomoko?"

Sitting opposite him was none other than Luo Congmin, the current president who held the highest power in the Federation of Local Authorities.

Behind Luo Congmin stood her guard captain, Rey Diaz.

"It's not doubt, Mr. Vader, it's certainty." Diaz corrected the mistake in Vader's words.

"I have personally fought against one of the sochiko. Her individual combat power is quite terrifying. At least with our current means, we cannot threaten her."

At this point, Diaz's expression couldn't help but become a little solemn. They had been unable to deal with Tomoko before because she was too small, and it was quite difficult to achieve a precise attack on her.

But now, the second generation of Tomoko has appeared in human form, but they still don’t have any good way to deal with this thing, which is a bit unreasonable.

"This guy has amazing defense capabilities, and is proficient in behind-the-enemy-line sabotage and decapitation missions. Almost all of the ground union officials we assassinated were assassinated by him."

Listening to Diaz's narration, Luo Congmin on the side couldn't help but add.

"According to my speculation, there should be at least three sophons on Earth. Apart from the sophon that disappeared with Lin Xuan for many years, one of the remaining two sophons should have the ability to disguise itself as someone else, and the other is a combat sophon of the Trisolarian civilization on Earth, with a terrifying combat power that is not inferior to Rey Diaz."

Ever since Rey Diaz gave up his identity as the Wallbreaker, he has returned to his old job. As the commander of the clone troopers, he has the authority to mobilize most of Luo Congmin's personal guards.

Therefore, with the updating and iteration of human civilization technology and power armor, Diaz's combat effectiveness is also increasing day by day.

With just the equipment he has, he can easily defeat the purple potato monster in the universe alone.

But even so, he still suffered a great loss when dealing with Sophon. It can be imagined that the combat capability of this combat Sophon is even stronger than that of a drop of water.

If only Lin Xuan were here, with his terrifying fighting power, such a smart guy wouldn't be able to cause any waves at all.

It's just that he has disappeared for many years. If the Trisolarans had not remained restrained, everyone would have thought that Lin Xuan had died long ago.

"It is extremely dangerous to let Sophon stay on Earth from any perspective, so we need to eliminate this hidden danger in advance," said Diaz.

Although he is no longer a wallfacer, the courage he once had as a wallfacer is still there. Every wallfacer is a madman, and Diaz is no exception.

"So, you want me to cooperate with your actions?" Wade only thought about it briefly and understood the meaning of their words.

Today, because of his act of forcing all of humanity to perform corvee labor, the Three-Body Civilization and the Earth Union have been forced to reach a high degree of unity in their actions.

In order to stop Wade and also to slow down the time it takes for humans to build the Halo, the Trisolarans no longer cared about the knowledge sealing rules and handed over most of their technology to the Earth Alliance.

Of course, Luo Congmin has been wavering on the issue of whether to join the rebellion against the Sword Bearer. She has made promises to the Trisolarans more than once, thus deceiving them of some of their technology, which has greatly annoyed the Trisolaran governors, including the Führer.

"This trick is exactly the same as Lin Xuan's. It turns out that all humans are bad!"

In the current situation, Wade has completely stood on the opposite side of all mankind, and the conflict between the two sides has become increasingly acute with the passage of time.

But in the final analysis, humans still only regard this matter as an internal issue of humanity, and it is not the Trisolarans' turn to intervene.

I welcome your help in providing technology, but the Earth Union will never agree if you want to interfere in the condemnation of the Sword Wielder.

However, compared to when Luo Ji was in power, the relationship between humans and the Trisolarans has indeed improved a lot. If it weren't for Lin Xuan's people who repeatedly harmed the Trisolarans in their cooperation with the Trisolarans, it is estimated that the two sides would have successfully reached a united front to deal with Wade.

However, all the officials of the Federation of Local Authorities were unaware of this. Luo Congmin, as the highest authority in the Federation of Local Authorities, was very close to Wade. If this incident were ever made public, her presidency might be in jeopardy.

"Although humans are not on the same page with the Trisolarans now, we are at least in the honeymoon period. Sophon must be cleared out, but the person to be cleared out cannot be me, let alone anyone from the Earth Union. Only you, as the Sword Bearer, are qualified to do this."

Upon hearing this, Wade could not help but frown slightly.

"You are the second person I have ever met who can make the term shameless sound so righteous. You are just like Lin Xuan. If you want me to take the blame, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush with so many words?"

Luo Congmin burst out laughing.

"It's good that you know this. Actually, this job is not yours. In the past, Lin Xuan was responsible for handling such situations. Now that he is gone, you have no choice but to fulfill your responsibility as the Sword Holder. After all, this coincides with your purpose."

Since becoming the Sword Bearer, Wade has shown hostility towards the Trisolarans beyond anyone else. If he had no real power, he would have started a reverse cleanup of the Trisolarans long ago.

Luo Congmin saw this point and wanted to use Wade's name to plot against Sophon who was hiding in human society.

Once this practice is exposed, Luo Congmin will definitely face fierce opposition from the grassroots people and the doves, so both sides actually have a handle on each other.

And that's exactly what Vader wanted.

He is a man who will achieve his goals at any cost. With Luo Congmin as a guarantee, he has one more means of deterrence against the Earth Alliance and the Trisolarans.

He can even secretly train an army of his own to deal a fatal blow to the Trisolarans or humans when necessary.

"Then how much authority can you give me?" Wade looked at Luo Congmin in front of him with a smile.

"If you want to use troops to fight the Trisolarans, then no matter how many weapons you have, it will be futile, because there is still a big gap in technology between humans and Trisolarans. The more troops, the better. So we only gave you the one thing you need most at the moment."

As Luo Congmin was speaking, Rey Diaz on the side took out a tablet, tapped on it twice, and handed it to Wade.

"Control authority of the Gravitational, this ship now belongs exclusively to you!"

Chapter 202: Heart Conquers Everything

"It seems the experiment is coming to an end."

In the universe, there were two figures looking at two fleets fighting in the distance. These two people were none other than the long-lost observers Tianchen and Dixing.

"The moment of showdown is coming soon. We have been waiting for this day for a long time." Tianchen said, rubbing his hands excitedly.

"I really don't know which of these four Earths will win this war in the end."

Upon hearing this, Dixing, who was standing by, couldn't help but glance at Tianchen.

"It seems that the problem of Earth No. 4 has not been solved yet. Are you so confident that Lin Xuan can participate in the final battle?"

Tianchen couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.

"It's not that I have confidence in him, but the Trisolarans are too weak. Compared to the crises encountered by the first three Earths, the Trisolaran crisis is the weakest among the four Earths."

Upon hearing this, Dixing also nodded approvingly, expressing his deep agreement.

"Tianchen, I really feel that this is a bit unfair to an invasion by a Level 2 civilization. Why is it that the disaster that my Earth No. 4 encountered was the Dark Forest attack by a Level civilization, while they only encountered the Three-Body Crisis?"

Tianchen smiled.

"It doesn't matter. It's not all good. Low danger means low improvement in the technology tree. Trisolaran is just a Level 2 civilization. What do you expect humans to gain from this war?"

"Compared to the first three Earths, this threat is insignificant. Once the showdown comes, I bet you that Lin Xuan's Earth No. 4 will be the first to be destroyed."

Dixing didn't respond to the other party's words. He never makes promises randomly, so as to avoid being slapped in the face too suddenly.

However, this does not mean that he is optimistic about Lin Xuan. In fact, Lin Xuan's Earth No. 2 is progressing too slowly. Until now, it has not even broken through the limitations of Level civilization and built a star ring.

Compared with what happened to the previous three Earths, it is indeed a little worse.

Creation is born out of destruction.

The only four remaining experimental instruments all encountered disasters similar to the Three-Body Crisis.

Earth No. 1 encountered an intelligent machine crisis. When they were developing to the stage of artificial intelligence, they were unfortunately targeted by an advanced mechanical civilization, who casually threw an intelligent source code into their machines.

The result was that all electronic devices on Earth No. 1 began to develop autonomous consciousness and launched a full-scale war against humanity, turning the entire planet into something like Skynet in the Terminator.

Fortunately, Earth No. 1 survived, and turned a disaster into a blessing, gaining a large amount of mechanical technology, almost maxing out the mechanical technology tree.

Everyone knows what happened later. With the country ruled by machines, the entire civilization respected knowledge, and the technology tree went straight to the machine of knowledge inheritance. All people's knowledge and wealth were firmly in the hands of one person, and that person was the final producer of Earth No. 1!

The disaster that Earth No. 2 encountered was global evolution. The entire civilization went through more than a hundred years of dark doomsday era, and humans almost lost their dominance over the planet to those intelligent animals.

Although humans finally returned to the top of the food chain, the technology tree was also distorted. Through continuous research on the genetic samples of those organisms, the technology of Planet No. 2 was mainly based on bioengineering and gene editing.

At the same time, the political structure of the entire civilization has become extremely egalitarian. All resources must be distributed evenly and any individual must completely obey the needs of the group.

Tianchen calls this doomsday crisis syndrome. In some novels about zombie outbreaks, this kind of political system of civilization can often be seen.

If the crises of the first two are still within the normal range, then Earth No. 3 goes straight to the fantasy level.

This group of unlucky guys somehow managed to connect to the channel from the edge world to the imaginary space. The entire civilization was invaded by void creatures and was almost wiped out.

As observers, even they knew very little about the void, only that it was an area beyond the edge of the world.

Before mastering the ability to upgrade dimensions, any civilization below level 4 that wants to connect to the void will be seeking its own death, because that area is an entropy zone according to the rules of the existing universe.

Entropy is a concept that describes the degree of chaos, and the void is the largest entropy zone. In the entropy zone, no known rules will work, but the rules of the universe cannot completely deviate from the parameters of the void world.

Just like the imaginary part and the real part in a complex number, the imaginary part is meaningless in calculations, but it is impossible to perform calculations completely without the imaginary part. The concept of imaginary space comes from this.

Once upon a time, a Level 4 civilization made a bold guess about the void.

That is, the void is the true appearance of the universe, and the universe should be a chaotic and disordered entropy zone. Later, a super-advanced civilization established the existing universe and created the so-called cosmic rules, which people call physics.

To put it simply, the concept is that originally everyone lived in a dark forest with no rules at all. Then suddenly one day a farmer came over, fenced off a piece of land here, built a farm, and told the turkeys in the field.

"This is my territory from now on. I will build a new universe here. You will receive food at 3 pm every day."

Then the turkey scientists took the farmer's rules as the laws of the universe and called them physics.

But they soon discovered that some of the patterns they discovered seemed to be meaningless, such as the howling of wolves outside the farm.

They can't see where the wolves are, and the wolf's howling has nothing to do with the farmer's distribution of food, but they can hear the wolves howling and cannot ignore the fear brought by this sound. This sound is the so-called imaginary number.

Later one day, the wolf outside the farm broke through the fence set up by the farmer and got in. This was the invasion of the real universe by the void creatures.

The fence is the edge world, so the civilizations that participate in resisting the void invasion in the edge world are all defenders of the universe who are trying to protect the main universe from being destroyed. They have absolutely irreconcilable conflicts with the void creatures outside the universe.

With this description, you can probably understand what kind of crisis Earth No. 3 is facing, right?

It was just like when Xiao Yan just left the Novice Village and was attacked and killed by Emperor Hun Tian.
