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

As long as humans now don't commit suicide, they will definitely win against the Trisolarans once the Halo Project is completed. If this happens before the deterrence, the Earth Alliance will definitely blow up Mercury without hesitation, or even blow up the Earth to provide more metal minerals.

But there is no need to gamble now. We are ahead economically, so don’t waste time!

Chapter 221 Beware

Although she said so, the worried look on Cheng Xin's face did not diminish at all, and she drank the tea in the bowl sip by sip.

This was already the third brew of this pot of tea. The tea leaves had long since become as light as the water, but Cheng Xin still couldn't help but drink it sip by sip to ease her inner panic.

Seeing this, Ai AA, who was standing by, knew what Cheng Xin was worried about and couldn't help but say something to comfort her.

"Cheng Xin, it's okay, relax. We still have the Star Ring, which is the fastest curvature ship in human history. If the situation really gets that bad, we can run away at any time."

Hearing Ai AA's words, the worry on Cheng Xin's face remained unchanged, but her brows were furrowed even tighter.

"It's because of the Star Ring that I'm worried, AA. Besides the two of us, Wade also knows about the Star Ring. That madman has already broadcast to the Three-Body Civilization. He has completely lost all scruples. I'm worried that he will launch a fierce attack on the Star Ring Group at the last minute."

When Ai AA heard this, he was silent for two or three seconds, and then he sighed helplessly.

"Cheng Xin, you are too naive. Wade is definitely not that kind of person."

Cheng Xin didn't say anything, but just stared into Ai AA's eyes, and the meaning was very clear.

Do you understand Wade or do I understand Wade?

But when I think about it carefully, it seems that AA's contact time with Wade is indeed longer than mine.

He had just joined PIA during the Crisis Era, which was when Project Wallfacer was just launched. Including the three years when Project Ladder was implemented, his contact time with Wade was no more than five years.

But Ai AA is different. The Star Ring Group was founded by Wade, and Ai AA can be regarded as the founding father of the Star Ring Group. When the Star Ring Group was first established, there were only Wade and Ai AA in the entire company.

So compared to his familiarity with Wade, maybe Ai AA really knows something that Cheng Xin doesn't know.

"It's true that Vader is a madman, but he won't attack the Star Ring Group because there's no need."

"Don't you understand? Vader's goal from the beginning to the end has been to work hard to build a ring world. Now that the broadcast has started, the ring has become a choice that all mankind has to make. Vader doesn't care whether he leaves or stays, because in this play, he is already the winner."

"He tied all of humanity to his chariot and made them go down this path to the end. If the Ring World is really built, perhaps he will be remembered in history books forever. No one will be hostile to Vader forever, so there is no need for him to escape."

Now, it has been more than two weeks since the broadcast was launched, and people have long recovered from the initial panic and hatred towards Wade, and are still doing what they should be doing.

As I said, no matter how the world changes, the grassroots people cannot access the truth and are not interested in the truth. In a few days, they may be attracted by another piece of gossip.

Ai AA has seen a lot, so she knows that Wade has no reason to attack the Star Ring. What's more, Wade is now unable to take care of himself and probably has no time to deal with this mess.

Ai AA’s guess was correct.

At this time, on the Gravitation, Vader slowly put down his gun. In front of him, several crew members who were shot were twisting their bodies on the ground, wailing in pain.

Their blood was spilled all over the ground. The doctor was right next to them, but no one dared to save them because Wade was still standing there.

There was no expression on Wade's face. He kicked one of the men in front of him who was trying to get up to the ground and said coldly.

"Who ordered you to assassinate me, Zhizi? Or the Earth Alliance, or that idiot Cheng Xin?"

Just now, Vader, who was resting with his eyes closed on the bridge, was suddenly brushed past by a plasma bomb.

If he hadn't been so alert, this one blow alone would have been enough to take his life.

The moment Wade was attacked, Guan Yifan beside him directly pressed the alarm on the Gravitation, notifying the people around to come to the rescue.

Although many people on the ship disliked Vader, especially his usurpation of power and seizure of the position of Swordbearer, many people have always been resentful of it, but due to pressure from the Ground Union, few people mentioned it.

But no matter what, Vader is now the amulet of the entire Gravitation. Once Vader dies, they believe that the guns and cannons deployed around Gravitation will be fired at Gravitation without hesitation.

It's just a small star-class battleship. The Ground Federation has plenty of money now, so maybe it will blow up.

Chapter 222 Assassination

The man lying on the ground knew that he was in Wade's hands and there was no chance that he would return alive, so he stopped struggling and smiled coldly at Wade.

"Who ordered me to do this? Do I need someone to order me to kill a demon like you?"

"Who in human civilization today doesn't want to chop a demon like you into pieces and torture you to death?"

The man's eyes were fierce as he stared at Wade in front of him. If looks could kill, Wade would have been cut into pieces by him long ago.

But Wade's face remained expressionless. He just signaled Guan Yifan and other crew members of the Gravitation beside him to tie up these attackers with restraints.

But even after being tied up, the man continued to yell and curse.

"Ved, if you want to die, don't take all of humanity with you. We all want to survive, but look at what you have done."

"You launched a broadcast, exposed the coordinates of the Trisolaran mother planet, and personally ended the peaceful prosperity that Mr. Luo Ji had worked so hard to bring to all mankind. You are a warmonger. For the little power in your hands, you are willing to start a war and let all of humanity be buried with you!"

"You know, Wade, when you first became the Sword Bearer, I was actually very supportive of you. I agree with your philosophy. Mr. Luo Ji was indeed too weak. We should have completely wiped out the Trisolaran civilization, but you should never have really started broadcasting. The current situation of mankind is very good. As long as we delay for a few more years and the Ring World is built, mankind will win. But you broke this balance for your own selfish desires, Wade, I misjudged you. It turns out that you are just a villain."

After listening to the other party's scolding, Wade spoke.

"Are you done? Then it's my turn to speak."

"I should have kept these things secret for the rest of my life, and never told them until I died."

"But I admire your courage. As the first person who dares to assassinate me, this is the reward you deserve."

Wade said this, raised his pistol, pointed it at the other man on the ground and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The electromagnetic projectile hit the back of the opponent's head accurately. The man who was struggling a second ago had his head blown up instantly, and liquids of various colors immediately flowed everywhere.

The man obviously didn't expect that Wade would suddenly kill someone, and he was also shocked.

Didn’t you say you were going to interrogate us? Why did you suddenly start killing people?

But Guan Yifan and the crew members on the side were not surprised by this. After spending the past few days together, they had long been accustomed to Wade's moody personality.

"Don't make the floor too dirty. I'm cleaning today."

Guan Yifan just gave some instructions and then left with the crew.

At this time, only Vader and a group of assassins were left in the bridge cabin of the Gravitation.

"boom!"

Another shot, another person was shot in the head.

Vader kills people rhythmically as if he is playing music. If you just want to appreciate his performance, you may pay with your life.

Wade didn't interrogate or ask any questions. He just paced in front of the group of people and shot another person on the ground in the head.

The man watched his companions around him being shot in the head one by one by Wade. Even someone as calm as him was a little upset by the bloody scene.

Fortunately, he had already prepared himself for not being able to go back, so he didn't lose his composure too much.

Just as the man was lost in thought, Wade's voice slowly came.

"Why do you think that humans have won?"

"boom!"

Another shot was fired, and this time the person killed was very close to the man. Blood mixed with various liquids even splashed onto the man's face.

But Wade's gaze was always on him, not straying at all, as if he had just done something very insignificant.

"because……"

When asked by Wade, the man suddenly became speechless.

Indeed, he had never really thought about this issue carefully, although on the surface, the people of the Deterrence Era lived and worked in peace and contentment, and enjoyed harmony with the Three-Body Civilization.

But if that was true, why did Lin Xuan disappear inexplicably, and why did Wade suddenly usurp power and seize the identity of the Sword Bearer?

Although the identity of the Sword Wielder can give an ordinary person unparalleled rights, for Wade, the Sword Wielder is actually a shackle.

Before becoming the Sword Wielder, Vader was the sole boss of the Star Ring Corporation. In the entire Deterrence Era, there were only a handful of people who could match him in terms of wealth and status.

If he had never revealed his identity and had run the Star Ring Group peacefully, I believe Wade could have lived the rest of his life in peace.

But he still chose to take the initiative to seize the position of the sword bearer. At this point, many things don't make sense.

From the perspective of ordinary people, the Deterrence Era is an era as relaxed as a cradle, but in the eyes of the human elite, perhaps the undercurrents in the Deterrence Era are no worse than those in the Crisis Era.

This is an obvious blind spot in perspective. As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. It is difficult for people who are not in that position to consider the problem from the perspective of those who are in that position.

After all, there is a gap in the information obtained between the two parties, and their positions are even more different. This is why humans still quarrel even after they have brain networking.

"boom!"

Wade fired again, and this time he had used up the last bullet in his pistol, so he stood up, took another handful of electromagnetic pellets from the table beside him, and began to reload his pistol.

"You are right. Once the Ring World is successfully built, humans will indeed completely end the threat of the Dark Forest Law. But if you can think of something, can't the Trisolarans think of it?"

Vader said, pressing the muzzle of the gun to the man's head.

At this time, there was no third living person here except Wade and this man.

"But until now, we haven't realized what the Trisolarans are planning. They will never sit idly by and watch the construction of the Ring World succeed. As a result, humans don't even know the specific layout of the other party, but they have already begun to be complacent and think that they have won the victory?"

"Isn't this too arrogant? Don't forget that the tragedy of the Doomsday War happened less than a hundred years ago."

"You think that I am launching the broadcast to extend my power, because once the Ring World is successfully built, I will definitely become the first hero in the future, and all the crimes I have committed now can be washed away completely."

"But have you ever considered another possibility? This may be my last chance to use the power of the Sword Bearer!"

……

Meanwhile, around the world.

A man is using a robotic arm to carry a box that is taller than him.

But suddenly, his body stiffened and his pupils dilated!

His body seemed to be possessed by a ghost. His movements gradually became stiff, and then he slowly placed the box in front of him flat on the ground.

The line leader who was in charge of supervising the assembly line in the distance also noticed the man's abnormality. He immediately flew over in a mechanical vehicle with dissatisfaction and shouted on the radio.

"Gao Qun, what are you thinking about? If we can't finish the work today, we will all be punished. Do you want us to stay and work overtime on the weekend?"

But before the line leader could finish his words, the man called Gao Qun suddenly moved!

I saw him take out a square box from some pocket and then press the switch directly!

"boom!"

With a loud explosion, the flames instantly engulfed everyone present.

This workshop is in the outermost part of the ring world, so when the explosion occurred, the powerful shock wave directly shattered the newly built walls.

But the power of the explosion was far more than that. The bomb also contained a layer of EMP electromagnetic interference. In just a moment, the gravity stabilization anchors of the entire workshop were paralyzed. Some people who had not yet reacted were caused by the sudden feeling of weightlessness to somersault in mid-air.

Chapter 223 Ominous Omen

At the same time, in a classroom at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Luo Congmin, wearing a windbreaker, was standing on the podium giving her weekly lectures as usual. This habit began when she became the Minister of Education. She randomly selected one or two universities every week to give lectures on random topics.

In her own words, the younger generation of college students is more energetic and more willing to accept new things.

She herself is already an old woman of over 300 years old and has long lost the ability to learn new things that she had in the past. Therefore, coming to teach often can in turn broaden her own thinking.

Of course this is all bullshit, the real reason is that she is just looking for an excuse to take a weekend off.

After all, her situation is worse than that of ordinary workers. At least they can have a rest once a week, but President Luo is so busy that he dare not take a rest at all.

So although Luo Congmin seemed to be here to teach, she was actually taking a vacation for herself. Most officials of the Local Federation knew her habit, so on the day when she was teaching on the weekend, basically no one would come to disturb her.

"Since the 25th year of the Deterrence Era, the impact of the first batch of new college entrance examination reforms has been radiating to all areas of society. The talent pool has changed from a diversified system to a unit system, and the academic field has gradually changed from being messy and unrefined to striving for excellence. This reform policy has maximized the utilization of existing human resources..."

When Luo Congmin read this, his tone suddenly paused, and the students in the audience raised their heads and looked at the longest-serving president in human history.

After a long time, Luo Congmin spoke again.

"Come on, students, there is one sentence missing in this place in the book, take notes."

"Although the education reform of the new college entrance examination has saved the existing social resources of mankind, its disadvantage is that it has also curbed the development of human hybrid disciplines, resulting in the increasingly serious phenomenon of "different fields are like different mountains". Therefore, the reform of the new college entrance examination was only a means of quenching the thirst of human civilization at that time, and it was not the optimal solution."

After hearing Luo Congmin's words, all the students who were taking notes in the audience couldn't help but tremble.

"Good fellow, only you dare to say that. If anyone else said that, they would probably be beaten to death by the academic and education circles."

Anyone who has studied modern history knows that the new college entrance examination education reform was personally organized by the great president in front of us. Although everyone knows that from today's perspective, her new college entrance examination reform had many drawbacks, no one dared to criticize and correct them in the textbooks.
