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

Different universes have very different definitions of plane. Generally, this word is equivalent to two-dimensional space. However, if we look at three-dimensional space from the four-dimensional level, isn't three-dimensional space also a plane?

The universe is constantly expanding outward, but the temperature everywhere in the universe remains constant, which actually explains the problem.

The conjecture on the utilization of vacuum zero-point energy is also based on this model, but before success, no one can guarantee whether their conjecture is correct.

Let's assume that this conjecture is correct, and the three-dimensional universe is a plane with length, width, and height relative to the four-dimensional universe, then the energy in various parts of the universe is spread out like a pancake.

Curvature drive technology is one of the simple ways to use vacuum zero-point energy.

Now, someone is going to put a singularity with infinite mass on this piece of paper, and continuously collapse the surrounding energy towards this singularity. Imagine what will happen?

This piece of paper must have a limit that it can withstand. Once it exceeds the threshold of this warning line, it will cause a disaster.

The decay begins.

The energy of the entire universe will slide towards this point due to its continuous expansion, and the originally flat three-dimensional universe will become a slope.

The surrounding energy will continuously flow in like an avalanche, and then be suppressed and evaporated by the ring world device, making this point exist permanently and expand permanently.

The ring world is essentially an inward energy-guiding device. It does not generate energy itself, but only transforms energy into a carrier that destroys the flat universe.

But the question now is, the functions of these two ring worlds are so different, which one was the one built by Lin Xuan originally?

This will directly affect the future living environment of all mankind.

The construction of the ring world device requires a large amount of metal material, so the planets in the solar system will most likely be dismantled one by one, including the Earth.

By then, humans will only be able to survive on this ring world.

Without the threat of the Trisolarans, once humans no longer need the Sword Bearer, Wade will definitely be executed, so the ultimate purpose of the Ringworld will depend on Lin Xuan's attitude.

If Lin Xuan built a spaceship to lead all mankind to escape, then everything would be fine, but what if it was the latter?

Then Thomas Wade's plan became what all mankind wanted to see most.

After understanding the interests involved, Ai AA couldn't help but curl his lips.

"No matter who came up with this design, neither of these two men is a good person!"

Cheng Xin could see the danger in this, and the Trisolarans could naturally see it as well.

So in recent days, the head of the Trisolaran civilization has been contacting the Devouring Civilization almost every day, asking about the Federation's decision and when an immigration plan can be arranged for them.

There's nothing we can do. Our civilization is unlucky. We couldn't become a level 3 civilization due to a bad start. We finally encountered an Earth civilization, but it turned out to be a bunch of crazy people!

Either they want to broadcast the three-body coordinates, or they want to destroy the entire three-dimensional universe with themselves. They don't want to stay in Centaur at all, so they move out as soon as possible.

As long as the Federation transfers them, the Earth can do whatever it wants. Building a ring world in an attempt to threaten the entire three-dimensional universe will inevitably lead to a crazy attack from high-dimensional civilizations.

What a joke, we are already unable to ascend to higher latitudes, yet you still want to cut off the retreat of the higher-latitude civilization. It would be unjustifiable if you don't destroy it, okay?

The Trisolarans have basically given up the idea of ​​continuing to occupy the Earth. They now just want to complete the immigration work as quickly as possible and head to the Second Cantilever. They hope that Lin Xuan will no longer exist in the world.

Chapter 205 Luo Ji's Retirement Life

"Tsk, I didn't expect that I would become your driver now. Now I think about it, I feel a bit cheated." Luo Ji said to Luo Congmin beside him while driving the shuttle.

The latter seemed unconcerned.

"Dad, it's not that I look down on you. You've been in hibernation for more than a hundred years, and then worked as a swordsman for more than sixty years. You've long been out of touch with the times. Being a driver is already a very good position. What else do you plan to do?"

Hearing this, Luo Ji touched his chin with a complicated expression.

"Although you are telling the truth, I don't like to hear it."

"Times have changed, my old swordsman father. Although you are still young, even if you exclude the years of hibernation, you are already over a hundred years old. Normal people of your age would have already started walking their birds and drinking tea. You are not as energetic as you are now. You have to accept the fact that you are old."

Luo Ji shook his head subconsciously, then he remembered that he was no longer the swordsman, so he casually placed his hand on Luo Congmin's head and ruffled his hair into a ball.

"You look down on your father, don't you? Even old Ding Yi can return to school to be employed as a teacher, so why can't I?"

"Do you want to go back to Tsinghua to continue teaching?" Luo Congmin looked at his father in surprise.

"Can't you?"

"Okay, but what do you teach?"

Luo Ji was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

"Dad, we can lie to others, but you can't lie to yourself. I know better than you how you became a professor at Tsinghua University. Even if Tsinghua and Peking University are declining now, they probably won't hire you back to teach. Elder Ding is a man of real ability. It's like a piece of cake for him to supervise a doctoral student. As for you, I think it's hard for you to teach undergraduate elective courses."

Luo Congmin's words were really heartbreaking, and Luo Ji was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"So what? Knowledge doesn't mean anything. Your father's knowledge was not as good as Hines and his gang, but he still managed to intimidate them, didn't he?"

"Tsk, that makes sense. After all, Lin Xuan has not yet graduated from college."

Luo Congmin said this and sighed helplessly.

“Look, Dad, compared with others with higher education, you can’t compare with Hines, and compared with others with lower education, you can’t compare with Lin Xuan. Your position is really embarrassing.”

After hearing this, Luo Ji chose not to respond and changed the subject.

"By the way, when did Taylor die?"

Luo Congmin was stunned when he heard this.

"He's not dead?"

"not dead?"

Luo Ji was also surprised by this answer.

"I thought he had died a long time ago. After all, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Luo Congmin was immediately ashamed.

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered that there was such a person. He's not dead and is still in the hibernation center. Because his presence is too low, I have never remembered to thaw him. I will wake him up when I finish the things at hand."

Luo Ji touched his chin.

"I wonder if this guy is still alive after being frozen for more than three hundred years."

Taylor went into hibernation during the Crisis Era. Since everyone was busy, no one remembered to wake him up, so he has been in hibernation until now.

Today, the technological gap between humans and the Trisolarans is narrowing little by little. When the real counterattack comes, perhaps this Wallfacer will need to make an appearance.

While the two were chatting, dozens of alarms suddenly popped up on the shuttle's interface!

"Warning, a high-energy reaction is detected approaching!"

Just when Luo Ji was about to close the warning prompt, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart!

He quickly switched the shuttle to manual mode and then pushed the thrust lever all the way down!

"Buzz!"

A blue arc flashed around the shuttle, and its speed suddenly increased by more than ten levels, and it went straight into the distance!

But before the shuttle that Luo Ji and the other man were riding in had run more than ten meters, the outer armor of the shuttle suddenly made a loud bang and then broke into two pieces!

"Hold!"

Luo Ji reacted quickly and immediately activated his exoskeleton armor.

In an instant, a set of tactical armor wrapped Luo Ji's entire body, and the thrusters at the tail burst out with blue energy. He also pulled Luo Congmin beside him out of the shuttle cabin and rushed straight into the sky!

The shuttle was split in two right down the middle by an unknown force. It was obvious that it had been attacked.

But what puzzled Luo Ji was that he had clearly resigned from the roles of Swordbearer and Wallfacer, so how could someone still attack him!

"Are you OK?"

Luo Ji grabbed one of Luo Congmin's arms and lifted her up in the air, but the latter's face still showed a frightened expression.

"fine!"

After confirming that his daughter was not injured, Luo Ji began to search around for the people who attacked them, and soon he found his target.

On the ground, there was a woman wearing a black combat uniform, holding a high-frequency cutting long knife in her hand.

Luo Ji was not unfamiliar with the appearance of this woman. He had met her several times when he was the Swordsman.

Tomoko!

Chapter 206 Arrest

Luo Ji was surprised that Sophon would appear here. He didn't expect that after so many years, the Trisolarans still had no intention of letting him go.

"This is bad!"

Luo Ji's face looked extremely ugly. The power armor he was wearing was not a military-grade combat model, but just a civilian-grade means of transportation.

As the blockade of human technology by Sophon was lifted in the Deterrence Era, ordinary people's means of transportation became more diverse.

In addition to conventional shuttles, there is also this single-person power armor that can complete rapid shuttle tasks within the planet.

When humans have fully mastered wormhole technology in the future, they may be able to build portals on planets. However, before that, a set of power armor for everyone can solve the problem of travel inconvenience for most people.

However, this type of power armor does not carry any weapons and only has a simple dodging function, so it seems a bit stretched when facing Sophon.

"Damn it, I should have built a backdoor system for the Sword Bearer's remote control."

Luo Ji knew that he was no match for Chieko, so he dragged Luo Congmin and ran away.

"Buzz!"

There was a buzzing sound behind him as an energy weapon was activated. Luo Ji's heart suddenly became nervous, and the tail jet of the power armor on his body accelerated sharply, just enough to avoid a high-frequency slash from Zhizi below.

"so close!"

Luo Ji patted his chest. Since he became the Sword Wielder, he hadn't been chased like this for a long time.

This scene now made him recall his youth when he was hunted by ETO.

“When will the police arrive?”

Luo Ji looked at Luo Congmin.

"Forget it. Even if they manage to catch up, they can only collect our bodies."

Seeing the two flying higher and higher, Chieko below gave up the idea of ​​continuing to attack them with high-frequency weapons.

She slowly bent down, and a sniper cannon was quickly assembled behind her.

As the sophon that carries out decapitation operations, almost every part of the combat sophon can be transformed into a weapon. Although the manufacturing process of the First Fleet is relatively crude, the lethality of the combat sophon should not be underestimated.

When Luo Ji saw the sniper cannon aimed at him from behind Zhizi below, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

"Shit, did Yun Tianming transmit some fantasy novel to the Trisolarans? Why do they also like to hide crossbows in their spines?"

Before Luo Ji could make a few jokes, the sniper cannon behind Zhizi made a "buzz" sound and fired an electromagnetic projectile.

"boom!"

This time, Luo Ji was shot hard and flew backwards, crashing through two buildings in a row before stopping in front of the third building. His whole body was deeply embedded in the building's wall made of active metal.

If the power armor hadn't dissipated most of the impact kinetic energy, this blow alone would have been enough to kill Luo Ji.

But his power armor was completely destroyed and issued a series of alarms.

"Warning, the armor has been severely damaged. It has been identified as a Level 1 traffic accident. Your accidental death life insurance has been automatically renewed. The Whithers single-person armor will keep you safe!"

"Who the hell designed this underworld function?"

Before Luo Ji could complain, Chieko had already readjusted her shooting position and aimed at him.

If he were to be hit by the other party once more, he would probably be able to ascend directly to paradise.

At this moment, a bright blue arc flashed from the surrounding rooftops.

The next second, the entire ground collapsed violently with Tomoko's location as the center.

Metal walls rose from the ground, wrapping up Tomoko in a circle and tightly blocking her way.

At a nearby street corner, Rey Diaz and a group of clone troopers wearing power armor finally arrived. However, looking at the calm expressions on their faces, it seemed that they had known that this scene would happen.

"Tomoko, we finally caught you this time!"

Chapter 207 Cheating

"boom!"
