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

Chapter 210 Yun Tianming wants to see you

Inside the deterrence center, Wade was leaning back in a chair. In his arms, a chubby orange cat was lazily having its fur smoothed by Wade's hand.

Opposite Wade, Luo Congmin, dressed in formal attire, was holding a cup of coffee and stirring it with a spoon.

"Why do you come to my place every day? Is the work at the Ground Union very easy?"

Vader teased with a hint of playfulness.

"It's just a habit. When my father was the Sword Bearer, my mother and I would come here once a week. So now when I have nothing to do, I will come to see you occasionally and check on your mental state."

Vader said nothing, but sighed.

"This job is much harder than I thought. Your father is such a great man that he could hold the position of Sword Holder for sixty or seventy years. I have only been doing this for twenty or thirty years, but I already feel like a dead man."

The pressure of being a Sword Bearer is very great. As a person who bears the fate of two worlds, the responsibility he needs to bear has long exceeded the psychological endurance of a normal person.

Although Wade still has a long life, his eyes are no longer as sharp as they once were. Instead, they look tired, like an old man in his twilight years.

"You are different from him. He still has a family, but you don't. You no longer have any ties in this world, so naturally you feel extremely tired." Luo Congmin said.

Having said this, she pondered for a moment.

"Would you like to consider starting a new family? I can be your matchmaker. We can find any woman for you as long as you want."

Upon hearing this, Wade shook his head.

"Forget it, I don't need it, and I'm dying soon."

When these words came out, Luo Congmin was shocked.

"You mean...Ringworld will be completed soon?"

Vader nodded slightly.

"Cheng Xin did a good job. At least she didn't use the Star Ring Group to trip me up in the construction of the ring world. If nothing unexpected happens, the Halo Project will be completely completed in about a year."

"By then, even if the Earth's coordinates are exposed, human civilization will have the ability to migrate out of the solar system. At that time, I will definitely be liquidated. If I still have family, they will probably be hanged on the street with me."

Both sides fell silent.

What Wade said was right. Ever since the construction of the Ringworld was drawing to a close, his authority as the Sword Bearer had been compressed bit by bit, until the moment when his authority was gone, the surging crowd would surely tear him to pieces.

"Don't you plan to leave yourself a way out or something?"

"If I want to leave myself a way out, I can deliberately slow down the construction of the ring world. As long as the ring belt is not completed, I will be the Sword Bearer and enjoy the highest rights of all mankind."

"But I will not allow myself to hesitate, nor will I leave myself a way out. In this war, I just need to keep charging forward until one day, my steps are tripped and I die here."

Vader's words were firm and decisive, and it was obvious that he had been prepared to face death since the moment he wanted to become the Sword Wielder.

Luo Congmin felt a little emotional. After decades of constant contact with Wade, she roughly understood this guy's true thoughts.

From the perspective of ordinary people, Vader is absolutely a complete devil. Countless people have died because of him, and riots and revolutions have almost swept the entire solar system.

But from the perspective of civilization, Vader is definitely a great man of mankind. He is sacrificing himself in exchange for the victory of the entire human civilization in this war.

"It's an honor that there is a devil like you among humans."

After a long while, Luo Congmin finally uttered these words.

Vader shook his head slightly.

"There are many people like me among humans. You should really thank Lin Xuan. Without his help, I would not be able to become the Sword Holder and have such great power to mobilize the entire human civilization. If anyone other than me were to be the Sword Holder, they would not choose to promote the construction of the Ring World so quickly, and they might even prevent the completion of this project."

"If I die one day next year, you can put all the blame on me. This will help the Earth Union to control human civilization in the future."

When Luo Congmin heard this, his eyes flickered.

Wade intends to nip the last hidden danger he brought in the bud and prevent it from reviving.

Since Vader became the Swordbearer, the Revolutionary Army has launched a large number of uprisings, but their uprisings all have different purposes. Some are trying to win over resources, while others want to overthrow the ruling position of the Earth Federation.

It can be said that only a very few people launched the revolution truly because they were against Wade, and most people just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.

So Wade never paid much attention to these people, and just let the Gravitational be responsible for destroying the ground with cannons one by one.

As long as they don't interfere with the construction of the ring world, he doesn't really care if the other party resists his authority.

After all, Vader was too lazy to rule all mankind from the beginning to the end. He became the Sword Wielder just to gain power to fulfill his own goals.

But once he dies, those revolutionary forces who want to maintain their position will definitely find the next organization to target.

Then the ground union is a very good target.

Their revolution is meaningless. They only want to gain their own interests in the name of revolution. It doesn’t matter who the object of the revolution is.

If this is the case, then even if the ring world is successfully established, various problems will arise within the human race, and the confrontation between the two major nations may occur again.

This was a disaster that Wade had condoned, and he needed to personally resolve this hidden danger after completing this task.

By putting all the blame on himself and making himself the sinner in human history, he could in disguise ease the conditions for forming the revolutionary army and not give the other side the opportunity to target the Ground Force.

From then on, when humans study this history, they will only think that Vader is a cruel and inhumane tyrant, and the Revolutionary Army is a righteous man. After dealing with the tyrant, the Earth Federation regained control of human civilization and put human society back on track.

At this point, even if the revolutionary army wanted to overthrow the Ground Alliance, they couldn't do it. Everything must have a legitimate reason.

You originally formed the revolutionary army in order to overthrow Vader's tyranny. Now that Vader is gone, you still dare to oppose the Earth Federation. Aren't you just a power-hungry villain like Vader?

This move will directly prevent all revolutionary armies from having the opportunity to regroup, and the ruling power of the Ground Alliance will be as solid as a rock.

As for what the truth of history is, it is not important. What is important is how to use history to pave the way for the future world. This is the most important thing.

At the same time, Star Ring Group.

Cheng Xin's office also welcomed an uninvited guest.

Tomoko!

This Sophon is not the Sophon that humans first saw in the Deterrence Era, nor is it the combat Sophon that secretly carried out decapitation operations, but the No. 2 Sophon who is good at disguising himself as someone else.

At first, the Trisolarans tried to use this intelligent child to disguise Lin Xuan, but they found that there was no normal person around Lin Xuan, and the disguise plan failed before it even started.

So in the end, this Zhizi stayed with Cheng Xin all the time, giving her the right to communicate directly with the Trisolarans.

So Cheng Xin didn't seem too surprised to see Zhizi coming.

"You are quite courageous. You dare to come to the Star Ring Group to find me at this time. Didn't you hear that Rey Diaz destroyed your No. 3 Sophon at the cost of a city a few days ago?"

No. 2 Tomoko was wearing casual clothes and a white baseball cap. She looked almost exactly like a modern person. If you put her in the crowd, you couldn't tell who she was.

When she heard Cheng Xin's words, an anthropomorphic smile appeared on her face.

"Of course I came to see you for something important. Cheng Xin, Yun Tianming wants to see you."

Chapter 211 A belated apology

"Yun Tianming wants to see you, Cheng Xin."

This sentence immediately made Cheng Xin stunned.

"Yun Tianming?"

"You mean to say that the Ladder Project was successful?"

Cheng Xin knew that she had lost some of her memory about the Ladder Plan, but through communication with other people, she roughly knew that the Ladder Plan had long been shelved, and only a small number of people still remembered the specific content of the plan.

She didn't expect that after so many years, she could hear news about Yun Tianming again. This made her feel excited and indescribable fear at the same time.

He could understand the former. After all, as the main person in charge of the Ladder Project, it was naturally a joyful thing to see the success of the Ladder Project. However, the fear and uneasiness mixed in with the excitement made her feel extremely confused.

What exactly am I afraid of and worried about?

Does this also have something to do with the missing memory?

After thinking about it, it seems very possible.

After all, although I have deleted that memory, it is still very difficult to deceive my brain. It is like a PTSD psychological stress response. Even if I no longer remember what happened, when I hear the name Yun Tianming, my brain will still subconsciously produce corresponding emotions.

It’s a pity that the deleted memory can’t be recovered, and I may never know what I have done.

But she would not take the initiative to look for this missing memory. After all, she must have had her own reasons for choosing to delete this painful memory. She is absolutely confident in her judgment and will not repeat the same mistake.

But all this was broken after Chieko said this. An idea popped up in her mind. Maybe she could learn some inside information about this missing memory through this conversation with Yun Tianming.

After all, the only person who knows the truth of the matter now, besides Thomas Wade, the Swordsman, is probably Yun Tianming.

"Okay, when do you meet him?"

When Tomoko heard this, a sly smile appeared on her face.

"Right now."

As Tomoko finished her words, her pupils turned into a deep blue, and a holographic projection of a man appeared in the air.

This person was none other than Yun Tianming who had disappeared for a long time.

Cheng Xin raised her head and looked at the man projected in the air. She was stunned for a moment.

Yun Tianming looked almost the same as he remembered. He had an ordinary appearance, ordinary clothes, and everything about him seemed so inconspicuous.

If it were in the past, if she had thrown him into a crowd, Cheng Xin would have found it difficult to even notice his existence, but now, at this moment, Yun Tianming was the only person she was familiar with in the world.

Cheng Xin was originally an orphan with no so-called relatives, and her friends had died long before the Deterrence Era.

She originally thought that she would never meet her acquaintances in this world again, but Yun Tianming appeared in front of her at this moment, looking at her without any emotion.

"Tianming, nice to see you, I..."

Before Cheng Xin could finish her words, Yun Tianming interrupted her.

"Dr. Cheng Xin, please be careful with how you address me. We are not that familiar with each other yet."

Just one sentence made Cheng Xin feel like being struck by lightning!

She looked at Yun Tianming with some confusion, not understanding why her former college classmate was so cold towards her at this moment?

Although Yun Tianming was not too enthusiastic about him in the past, he was definitely not as indifferent as he is now. His attitude now was as if there was some deep blood feud between them.

Soon, Cheng Xin figured it out.

This should also be related to the missing memory. Yun Tianming's attitude would not suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse. It must be that in that memory, he did something that made the other party very angry.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xin immediately figured out why she was so frightened and uneasy when she heard the three words "Yun Tianming", but her current situation was a bit awkward. Even if she wanted to apologize for what she had done before, she didn't know what she had done wrong.

After a long while, she slowly spoke again.

"Tianming, part of my memory has been deleted. I don't know what happened to make you so angry, but no matter what, I apologize to you for the mistakes I made."

Yun Tianming heard this, but his eyes remained unmoved.

"No need for that. I am now speaking to you as the Thirteenth Archon of the Three Body. Dr. Cheng, you have not forgotten your responsibilities as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, have you?"

Chapter 212 The Head of State asked me to give you a message

Seeing that the other party's attitude was so firm, Cheng Xin had no choice but to give up her plan to reminisce about the past.

Yun Tianming was right. Now she was communicating with the other party as a representative of human civilization. Since she was going to get down to business, she naturally had to adopt an attitude of getting down to business.

"Dr. Cheng, I didn't ask you to come here on my own initiative. The Trisolaran leader wanted me to bring you a message about another way to resist the attack of the Dark Forest."

When Yun Tianming said this, he just felt a pain in his balls.

Originally, this job had not been his responsibility, but Lin Xuan managed to hold back Sophon No. 1, which resulted in the Trisolarans losing their spokesperson on Earth.

After all, the three sophons were built and dropped to Earth by the First Fleet. Although there were enough sophons, there were only a few bodies that could match the sophons.

If part of the second-generation Sophon's body were to be built on Earth, there was a 99% chance that the Earth Union would not agree, and the remaining 1% that Wade would not agree either.

Therefore, there are only three second-generation sophons. Sophon No. 1 is used to speak on behalf of the Trisolarans, Sophon No. 2 is used for assassination and beheading, and Sophon No. 3 is good at disguise.

However, now, Sophon No. 1 was restrained by Lin Xuan, which made it difficult for the Trisolarans to conduct any public opinion campaign through Sophon No. 1. Sophon No. 2 was also killed by Diaz.

Sophon No. 3 is good at disguise, and until now the Earth Alliance is still unaware of its existence. If it is asked to take on the task of Sophon No. 1, it means that Sophon No. 3 will have to expose its existence in advance.

This is a bug!

From the very beginning when they sent Sophon No. 1 to deal with Lin Xuan, the Trisolarans had already stepped into this trap.

Then Yun Tianming had to take on the task of communicating with the human civilization on Earth. After all, apart from him, the Trisolarans really couldn't come up with a second way of communication that could make humans feel comfortable.

At first, the Trisolaran leaders did not realize how terrible the trouble caused by this bug was. However, with the arrival of the Deterrence Era and after Wade became the Sword-Bearer, resistance movements began to occur frequently in various places. The Trisolarans suddenly realized that they seemed to have missed the most likely opportunity to cause trouble.

In the past, the Trisolarans had been trying every means to create the Cradle Plan and peaceful evolution to impose a spiritual and ideological stamp on the human beings on Earth.
