And 15 minutes later, humans regained control of the Ring World.
But today's ring world is already riddled with holes.
From the beginning to the end of the first attack, it took no more than one hour in total, but it was this short one hour that completely destroyed all hopes of mankind.
When Luo Congmin received the report from the front line, even though she was a calm person, she couldn't help but have her fingers trembling slightly.
Decades of hard work have come to nothing, and even greater troubles are about to follow.
The significance of the construction of the ring world is now known to everyone, but now, this thing has been completely destroyed, turning everyone's hope into despair.
Such a huge gap will probably cause quite a bit of trouble.
The hearts of the Trisolarans are truly vicious!
They didn't strike earlier or later, but chose to crush this last hope just when the ring world was still a few months away from completion.
The purpose is to make the pressure from all mankind explode completely!
"Go inform Rey Diaz and have him mobilize all the troops to guard the Earth. No matter what happens in the future, we can't start a chaos ourselves."
Although Luo Congmin was already in a state of confusion at this time, as the president, she still had to come out to take charge of the situation.
"Where's Bai Bing? Where is this guy hiding? Go find him and tell him to stop pretending to be dead. Get ready to control public opinion on the brain network and minimize the chaos caused by this incident!"
"The secretariat please prepare a press conference. I want to see the speech as quickly as possible."
Before the bad news came, Luo Congmin had already taken precautions and arranged everything that could be done.
At this moment, her private communicator rang.
After taking a quick look at the caller and finding out it was Wang Miao, Luo Congmin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Professor Wang, it's great that you're still alive."
When Wang Miao heard this, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Xiao Min, what are you saying? Are you cursing me to death?"
"No, I'm not worried about you. After all, you were in the Ring World at the time. I was afraid that something might happen, so I was planning to send someone to search for you in person."
Wang Miao was too lazy to waste time talking to Luo Congmin and went straight to the point.
"The Ring World was destroyed, and the power system was completely paralyzed. But I just did a rough check and found that the destroyed parts were all node parts."
"The good news is that if we use some higher quality metal materials to repair it, we may only need three months to complete it."
"But the bad news is that we can't make the materials I need ourselves."
……
Ai AA quickly helped Cheng Xin apply to the Earth Union for permission to enter the Gravitation.
It's strange to say, the local government has already been in chaos, but fireworks are still being set off everywhere in the world around us. Logically speaking, the approval of such an application will definitely be delayed, and it will conservatively be estimated to take three or four days.
As a result, Ai AA's application was approved directly as soon as it was submitted, which is really puzzling.
"Forget it. Anyway, it's a good thing that we passed. Let's go."
Ai AA drove the Star Ring, carrying Cheng Xin, and headed straight towards the Gravitation.
While on the spaceship, they happened to see the explosion of the ring world.
"It's over, it's completely over!"
Ai AA looked at the constantly exploding ring world, and a trace of despair rose in his heart.
"It seems that human civilization is really going to end this time. It's all because of that guy Wade. He had nothing better to do than to start a broadcast. Now, all of humanity is going to be in trouble."
Cheng Xin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, remained silent. She looked in the direction of the sun, staring in a daze at the ring world that was constantly emitting light.
"Humanity has finally lost. Three hundred years of hard work can't withstand the absolute crushing of technology?"
"AA, after you go back... announce the news of the curvature-driven spacecraft to all of humanity. The Star Ring Corporation has also used all its resources to build a curvature-driven spacecraft. We should save as many as we can."
Cheng Xin couldn't help but speak.
Upon hearing this, Ai AA let out a long breath.
"I understand, but don't hold your hopes too high. The Star Ring Group currently has only a hundred curvature-driven spacecraft. We should be thankful if we can take more than a thousand people away."
"I have to try hard. At this time, I can't just do nothing."
……
At the same time, inside the force field space.
After Lin Xuan casually agreed to the application made by Ai AA, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
His sudden smile made Tomoko, who was sitting opposite him, feel a little uneasy for some reason, and even her chess playing paused.
It was obvious that the Trisolarans had completely gained the upper hand in this game, but for some reason, Chieko always felt that something was wrong, as if an unknown storm was about to break out!
"Mr. Lin Xuan, you shouldn't interfere in the fight between the Trisolaran civilization and human civilization. Since this is an experiment, you should follow the rules of the experiment."
Tomoko still felt a little guilty, so she started to make small talk.
Until now, the Trisolarans are still unwilling to be enemies with Lin Xuan. After all, throughout the past few hundred years of history, they have never gained any advantage over Lin Xuan.
Everyone in the Trisolaran team, from top to bottom, has already suffered from Lin Xuan’s PTSD.
But Lin Xuan didn't care.
"Rules are something that the strong use to restrain the weak. I'm strong, and what I say is the rule, just like what you did with Sophon during the Crisis Era. Why are you asking me to follow the rules now?"
Tomoko didn't say anything. This question really couldn't be answered.
After all, they only have a vague understanding of the rules of the experiment. They only know that observers must never interfere with the normal progress of the experiment, otherwise the observers themselves will be severely punished.
But I can't stand Lin Xuan's crazy criticism!
Which good person can walk on the red line of rules like him every day, jumping back and forth?
You know that Lin Xuan will die if he breaks the rules, and he knows it too, but he keeps testing the red line of the rules, which makes both sides confused.
There was a time when everyone in the Three-Body Civilization from top to bottom suspected whether Lin Xuan had a mental problem, but no matter what instrument they used to test, Lin Xuan was still in good mental state, which meant that everything he was doing was voluntary.
This is even more unbelievable.
Could this guy be the reincarnation of some chaotic demon from the universe? Why does he like to stir up trouble so much?
"Mr. Lin Xuan, you should already know that Wade has broadcast the coordinates of the Trisolarian civilization. Soon, both Earth civilization and Trisolarian civilization will be attacked by the Dark Forest from a higher civilization. Trisolarian civilization has now found a way to escape. In this war, humans will undoubtedly lose."
In the end, Chieko chose to confront Lin Xuan directly. After all, the war had come to this point, and many things could not be concealed even if they wanted to. It was better to confess and let everyone do what they should do.
"If we can put aside our past prejudices and sit down to cooperate honestly, there is no need to fight to the death on many issues."
In the minds of the Trisolarans, the best outcome is that humans completely surrender, and then let the Trisolarans take away a group of Earthlings, and the rest participate in the Black Domain Plan.
Wait for the Dark Forest's attack to pass, or until the Three-Body Civilization has mastered the method to penetrate the Black Domain one day, and then return to the solar system to reap the spoils of this war.
But now human civilization is determined to drag the Trisolarans into the water and force them to fight to the death, which makes the Trisolarans feel extremely annoyed.
You've already lost, so why are you still so stubborn? Why don't you just build the Black Domain to wrap yourself up, and wait for us to become stronger one day and come to pick you up?
Do we have to make life difficult for everyone?
How come this behavior is similar to that crazy Lin Xuan?
We remember that human civilization was not like this in the past, right?
When did the entire human civilization start to take this crazy path?
Seeing that Lin Xuan didn't seem to have any intention of answering these questions, Chieko stood up and bowed to Lin Xuan.
"Mr. Lin Xuan, if you don't plan to reply, we will take it as your consent. Since the war is over, I have to prepare to leave. I am very happy to have been with you all these years. In this vast universe, I hope we will have the opportunity to meet you again in the future."
However, before Tomoko could finish her words, the nanorobots instantly assembled into a mechanical hand behind her, and pressed Tomoko, who had just stood up, back into her seat.
"Did I let you go?"
Lin Xuan glanced at Chieko coldly. Just one glance and Chieko and the three-body people she controlled behind her felt a bone-chilling chill!
"This last game of chess isn't over yet, don't worry."
Lin Xuan's fingers tapped lightly on the chessboard.
"It's too early to tell who will win or lose!"
Chapter 227 Confrontation
"Captain Ralph, this is the Star Ring ship of the Star Ring Group. I am AA, the representative of the Star Ring Group. I request that you remove the blockade and allow us to pass through here temporarily. We need to go see Vader."
Ai AA connected to the space force commander stationed there within the communication frequency band. With her identity, she didn't need to contact the other party separately for such a matter. She only needed to show the other party a pass. However, now was a special period, and in order to be safe, Ai AA chose to follow the rules.
"Who agreed to your going there?"
Captain Ralph's voice appeared in the communication band.
This sudden question made Ai AA stunned.
She thought the other party had not received the proof of authorization document, so she sent another copy to the other party.
"Captain, please see clearly that our request has been approved, and the person who approved it was President Luo Congmin himself. Are you questioning the president's decision?"
"What's up, AA?"
Cheng Xin, who was thinking about life in the co-pilot seat, took off her earplugs and cast a questioning look at Ai AA beside her.
"Nothing. I don't know why the people at the blockade suddenly refused to let us pass. I'm negotiating with them. It's not a big problem. I've seen our application. It was approved directly by the highest authority in the brain network. Currently, only three people have that authority. One is President Luo Congmin, one is Lin Xuan, and the other is the AI secretary of the Earth Union Parliament."
"But now, Luo Congmin should be the only one who has this authority, so there should be no problem with our approval."
As soon as AA finished speaking, Captain Ralph's voice sounded again in the communication frequency band.
"Please wait a moment, there is a problem with your approval certificate, and I need to report this matter to the President in person."
"waste time!"
Ai AA was speechless. The approval had obviously been passed, so why was he still asking?
If Ai AA hadn't known that this was a special period and that everything had to be handled strictly, he would have probably started cursing a long time ago.
"AA, wait a little longer. I also feel like something is wrong."
Cheng Xin who was standing by suddenly spoke at this moment.
"Think carefully about who approved our approval."
"Logically, this kind of approval should not directly alert Luo Congmin, but needs to be reported to the military level by level. However, our approval skipped all departments and was directly authorized by the president."
"But why?"
"It seems that we are not familiar with Luo Congmin. I have met her a few times when I was competing with her for the position of Sword Master, but otherwise, we have not had much contact."
"So no matter from what angle, he has no reason to help us pass this approval, so who will approve our application?"
After being reminded by Cheng Xin, Ai AA finally reacted suddenly.
Yes, it all seemed to be going too smoothly.
It was as if someone was standing behind the scenes and watching this matter.
But at such a critical moment, who would have the time to stare at these two insignificant guys?
"Ms. Ai AA, we have just consulted President Luo Congmin, and she claimed that she did not agree to your approval. In other words, this approval certificate is likely forged by you two!"
As soon as Ralph said this, Ai AA and Cheng Xin were both disappointed.
Finished!
This time, there is no way to wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River.
Luo Congmin, the only person who currently has the authority, doesn't even know about this, which only means that they forged the approval documents.
"Damn it!"
Ai AA felt so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
"Ralph, do you really think we are fools? If we really want to forge a certificate, would we forge one approved by the highest authority? Wouldn't it be easier to forge one from the military?"
What Ai AA said is true.
Even if those two people are included, there are only three people who hold the highest authority. If it is really forged, it would be extremely easy to detect.
On the contrary, the military has a large number of people, making the review difficult.
