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

After all, this kind of thing is a special policy made because of the special environment at the time. Special matters should be handled in special ways, and there is nothing wrong with that.

But if you just criticize the policy, some students may not understand and may think that you are criticizing Luo Congmin as a person. After all, they have their own mouths and can tell whether it is good or bad.

It’s just that Luo Congmin is still the president of the Local Federation. If you dare to say no, it would be somewhat offensive to her. So in order to avoid suspicion, everyone only talks about the advantages of this policy but not the disadvantages. Over time, no one mentioned this matter anymore.

Now that Luo Congmin has taken the initiative to point out the drawbacks of this policy, he is actually telling everyone clearly that policies are policies and people are people. If policies are not conducive to long-term development, they should be criticized.

Having lived for almost three hundred years, Luo Congmin has become open-minded about many things.

Just when she was about to move on to the next knowledge point, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A woman who looked very smartly dressed was standing outside the door, breathing heavily.

It can be seen that she had just jogged all the way here.

"Liu Qing, what's the matter that makes you so flustered?"

When Luo Congmin on the stage saw the person outside the door, his heart skipped a beat and he even lost interest in the lecture.

This woman's name is Liu Qing. She is an assistant secretary who was promoted from the Local Federation in the last two years. She is now mainly responsible for sharing some of Luo Congmin's daily work pressure as president.

Therefore, Liu Qing usually pays attention to his image and rarely has such inappropriate scenes.

Now looking at the other party's appearance, Luo Congmin guessed that something big must have happened.

"President... President, the latest intelligence from the Ring World."

As Liu Qing spoke, he stretched out his hand and shook a document in his hand.

In the era of brain networking, such paper documents are rarely seen. After all, with current network technology, paper documents can have been completely replaced long ago.

Only a few things need to be bound in paper form - for example, humanity is about to encounter some kind of catastrophic disaster.

Materials of this confidentiality level will never enter the brain network under any circumstances, and must be delivered in paper form to ensure absolute security.

In short, at this moment, Luo Congmin only felt an ominous sign in his heart.

Sure enough, when she took the document from the other party and just took a look at it, her pupils suddenly contracted!

"The Trisolarans launched a devastating attack on the Ring World 2 hours ago!"

Chapter 224 Science Fiction Era

Time goes back to 2 hours ago, around the world.

As the first explosion occurred, the entire ring world suddenly became like a pot of boiling water, with explosions continuing.

In the communication channel, the piercing alarm sound and the scarlet lights filled the minds of every Ring World staff member.

"Enemy attack, level one alert!"

The outer command center in the solar orbit responded immediately, and the AI ​​Cheng Xing's subroutine instantly constructed a three-dimensional model of the entire ring world that was attacked in the power armor helmets of all members.

It can be said that except for some living areas, almost no part of the entire ring world is intact.

"They are planning to disable the energy drive module of the ring world. We must stop them. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will all be buried with the entire solar system."

Commander Obernmerser saw at a glance the purpose of the Trisolaran attack on the Ring World.

Now, the broadcasting era has arrived. If Luo Ji's Dark Forest Law is completely correct, then both the Trisolarans and the Earth civilization will be caught in a death race.

The Trisolarans not only intend to escape, but also want to break the escape legs of human civilization.

After all, the two civilizations have been fighting for hundreds of years, and both sides are very aware of each other's existence. Once human civilization successfully escapes from the solar system, there is no guarantee what will happen in the future.

The best way to deal with unknown risks is to nip all risks in the bud.

Today, all of humanity is looking forward to the completion of the construction of the Ring World, but once the Ring World is destroyed, humanity will lose this last possibility of escape.

By then, the dark forest attack that is enough to destroy two civilizations will only leave the Earth civilization alone to suffer the consequences.

Even if someone were lucky enough to escape the solar system, it would be a pipe dream to want to rebuild the glory of Earth's civilization.

"Gather all the troops and send them out. We must suppress the rebels as quickly as possible. This is only the first wave of attacks. Judging from the Trisolarans' intentions, there will be a second and third wave of attacks later."

Obernmerser sat back in his chair, looking at the holographic three-dimensional map of the Ring World in front of him. The red alarm areas were increasing, almost shrouding the entire Ring World in the scarlet of crisis.

"Captain, Professor Wang Miao is still in the ring world. Should we transfer him first to ensure his safety?" the adjutant at the side asked.

"I'm afraid that if we fight, his safety will be endangered."

"Professor Wang Miao? This... is indeed a bit troublesome."

Although he said this, Obernmerser only thought for less than three seconds before making the decision.

"Continue the attack. Let the rapid response team near Professor Wang Miao notify him. If we can save him, then do so. If we can't, forget it. What do you think we are doing now? We are gambling with the lives of all mankind. If we lose, all of humanity will be buried with us."

"Even if something bad happens to Professor Wang Miao because of this, he can't blame others for what they say."

It has to be said that it was quite courageous of Obernmerser to become the commander of the Halo Project's defense force.

If other commanders were faced with this situation, they might be at a loss.

In any case, Professor Wang Miao is one of the few people in human history who can live in history textbooks. From the Crisis Era to the Broadcasting Era, most people have not experienced as much as Professor Wang Miao has in half a lifetime.

Moreover, his great achievements are almost visible to the naked eye. Those space stations, and even the entire Halo project, are all supported by Wang Miao behind the scenes.

For such a great man, his safety may even be more important than the safety of the entire planet at certain times, but Oppenmerser still chose to give up Wang Miao and save the ring world.

The courage and price required to make this decision are quite terrifying, because if the ring world cannot be defended and Professor Wang Miao encounters any misfortune because of this incident, I am afraid that Oppenmerser will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history for the rest of his life.

If we choose to protect Professor Wang Miao now, even if we lose the Ring World, at least our reputation will remain and we will not be cursed by history.

But he still made the decision that was most beneficial to the current situation. As for how people in the future will evaluate him, that will be up to future generations to decide.

"Buzz!"

There was another dull explosion.

Since it was in space, there was no air as a medium for sound transmission, and the explosion was only transmitted through the vibration of the deck of the ring world, so it did not sound violent.

But when I looked through the viewfinder and saw the red light rising into the sky in the distance, I realized how terrifyingly powerful the explosion was.

"Antimatter bomb, damn, how did they bring this thing up here!"

Obernmerser's face turned pale. It had been no more than three minutes since the first explosion. It was obvious that the Trisolarans had been planning this for a long time and the entire operation was very swift.

But until now, they couldn't even figure out the enemy's origin. The report from the front line only said that the enemy was a group of architects controlled by the Trisolarans. As for what weapons they had and how many people they had, they had no idea.

"Has the president been notified?"

Obernmerser finally placed his hopes on the Ground Alliance. The current situation was no longer something he, a commander of the escort force, could decide.

"We've been notified 20 minutes ago. The support forces from the Ground Alliance are already on the way. It's estimated that in 13 minutes, the first landing fleet will arrive at the outermost part of the Circum-Sun Project and begin dispatching landing troops." The adjutant reported truthfully.

"Why did it take so long?"

Oppenmercer's expression turned cold. Although the location of the Ring World is indeed far away from the fleets in the orbits of the Earth and Jupiter, with the current level of human technology, it shouldn't lag behind for so long, right?

At this speed, it can drift over here even without thrusters.

The adjutant's expression was equally interesting when he heard the commander's question.

"General, you may not believe this, but the fleet is moving so slowly because the Earth Alliance has deployed most of its fleet to keep an eye on the Gravitation. So it will take some time to get out of the formation. At least they can't accelerate at full power over this distance. So it's just like you said, they are drifting over here."

Hearing this, Obenmerser almost vomited blood.

Dilian, Dilian, are you going to follow the same path as PDC?

How could there be such a stupid group of people commanding a fleet and pointing their most powerful weapons at their own people?

Ever since Vader, the Sword Bearer, hijacked the Gravitational, both sides had a tacit understanding to just surround the ship but not fight.

Without the power of the Swordsman, Wade could be killed at will in the eyes of the officials of the Earth Federation.

But considering the possibility of the other party's escape, it is still necessary to mobilize the army to guard Wade.

And there is money to be made in this.

Because guarding Vader is actually considered a mission, it means that all the guarding fleets are on a mission.

The monthly salary of the fleet on non-mission duty and the fleet on mission is different, and the fluctuation is huge.

It can be said that under the premise that everyone knows that Wade cannot cause any trouble, the task of guarding gravity has become a lucrative job, and many captains want to get involved.

The military department in charge of the dispatch is naturally the first target they want to corrupt and win over.

But what if you collect too much money but still can’t get things done?

They could only increase the number little by little. In order to ensure the credibility of their words, many officials frantically increased the number of guard troops.

Now that's great. In the past, military corruption was all about overreporting the number of people and getting paid without doing anything. Now, they are afraid of underreporting the actual number of people and not getting paid.

As time went by, more and more fleets were guarding Gravity, resulting in most of the human race’s main fleet being held back by Wade alone.

If Wade was on the Trisolaran side, they would have given him an award.

With his own strength, without firing a single shot, he held back more than 50% of humanity's high-end combat power.

This is the most ironic thing.

And now, when human beings are truly facing life and death, they suddenly realize what a stupid thing they have done.

"It's a pity that Luo Ji stepped down too early. Otherwise, the president alone could have suppressed this group of scoundrels."

Obenmerser couldn't help but sigh.

He was born in the 40s of the Deterrence Era. At that time, Luo Congmin was at the peak of her power. If she had not never been greedy for power, it would have been understandable for her to call herself the emperor of all mankind.

From top to bottom, no one in the Union dared to say no.

However, since Luo Ji stepped down and the second-generation Sword Master Wade took office, Luo Congmin's status began to decline.

Although she still has enough say in the local federation, she has completely returned to what a president should be like.

There is no longer the glory of having the final say.

This is also what Obenmerser finds sad.

Everyone knows that as long as Luo Congmin continues to be given absolute power, coupled with the toughness of the second-generation Sword Wielder Wade, the Trisolarans will not dare to act rashly even if they are given ten times the courage.

But the political game is not a game of house. Since taking office as president, Luo Congmin has devoted more than 90% of his energy to dealing with conflicts within humanity.

"People say that the two major international eras controlled by Lin Xuan were the most sci-fi eras for mankind. The reason for this is not because of how rapidly the technological level of that era developed, nor because of the wonderful way Lin Xuan and the Trisolarans countered each other's moves, but because that era was the only time that all mankind was truly united."

This sentence comes from a philosopher's evaluation of Lin Xuan.

Human civilization has never truly achieved unity from the beginning to the end. Even in the most desperate early days of the Three-Body Crisis, the seven PDC countries were secretly killing each other because of the power struggle.

So much so that when people look back on this history a hundred years later, they find that the operations of human governments at that time were quite confusing.

During the Great Depression, 30% of their annual military expenditure was used to form ground forces. Please, these ground forces were definitely not used to fight against the Trisolarans, but to consolidate the status of the G7.

This is simply outrageous, okay?

At least to people in the early days of the Deterrence Era, this was incredible.

It's obvious that their race is about to be wiped out, but they are still fighting among themselves, struggling to the death for that ridiculous bit of power.

Therefore, this incident was also attributed in history textbooks as one of the reasons why PDC was bound to decline.

But now, the Dilian has begun to decline, and everything is back to normal.

History seems to be repeating itself a hundred years later!

This is what made Obenmerser feel sad from the bottom of his heart.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking so much. Let's solve the problem at hand first. Everyone, bring your weapons and get ready to follow me to support the front line."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the command center suddenly fell silent.

The adjutant standing by also widened his eyes and almost dropped his jaw in shock.

"General...General, you are the commander. How can a commander personally go into battle and kill the enemy?"

Obernmerser ignored him and put on his power armor.

"What do you mean by command or not? Look at the chaos on this battlefield. How can we command? Let the AI ​​take over. I can't do anything anyway. The only thing I can do at this moment is to be a good soldier."

As he spoke, he fixed his helmet on his armor, then exerted force with both hands, lifted the rifle that weighed as much as a dozen men, and headed out the door.

Looking at Obernmerser's leaving back, everyone in the command room looked at each other in bewilderment.

No...what should we do if you leave?

You have to know that most of the people in the command center are civilian officials who can only provide advisory services, and very few of them can go into battle to kill the enemy. Some of them can't even use a gun.
