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

Nowadays, the military's definition of soldiers is very different from that of the past. Due to the rapid development of cloning technology and brain networking, there are now very few living people who need to fight on the battlefield in person.

Most soldiers only need to rely on brain-connected devices to control weapons, or control clone troops for remote combat.

Except for a small number of giant mechas that need to be controlled by humans, wars between people have long ceased to exist.

Today's war is more like everyone sitting down and playing a game within the rules.

After all, war kills people and is quite cruel. It is unwise to send too many living people to the battlefield. Since we have clones as a substitute, why do we still need to send real people to die?

This is the greatest change that technology has brought to human society, making even a dirty game like war an easy thing.

Anyway, this is no different from previous wars. In previous wars, officials sat in front of the sand table and commanded, leaving civilian children to die. But now civilian children don't have to die. Those who are killed are just a group of clones who can grow from fetuses to adults in 20 hours.

As for the philosophical question that the lives of clones are also lives, Principal Liu never considered giving them real citizenship rights at the beginning. Otherwise, who would human society exploit?

It is precisely because of this special reason that the soldiers of the army have long lost their bloodiness, and it is also the root cause of corruption in the entire army from top to bottom. After all, now even the concept of the country has been completely erased, the world is unified, who are we fighting for?

"That's it, that's all."

Luo Congmin understood the reason behind this. From the beginning of her term as president, she knew that this day would come sooner or later for the Ground Federation.

Now that she can hold on for hundreds of years, she is already very satisfied.

"In that case, let's all wait here to die together, okay?"

"I disagree!"

At this moment, the door of the meeting hall suddenly opened, immediately attracting the attention of all the committee members present.

Outside the door, Cheng Xinzheng walked in hurriedly with several bodyguards from the Star Ring Group.

"Ms. Cheng, you are no longer an official of the Local Union. Please get out!"

The guard on duty at the door immediately raised his gun and stood in front of Cheng Xin, while the bodyguards behind Cheng Xin also surrounded her, forming an angle with the guards, protecting Cheng Xin in the center.

"Let her in."

Luo Congmin glanced at the gate. She didn't have much good feelings towards this woman. In her memory, this woman was almost useless except for doing a few stupid things.

When the doves in the Federation of Local Government elected her as the party leader to suppress Luo Congmin, Luo Congmin felt a little bit sad for her.

A person who cannot even control his own destiny has been trying to rewrite the destiny of mankind.

As Luo Congmin finished his words, the guards outside the door stopped trying to stop him and allowed him to enter the venue.

"Ms. Cheng, on behalf of the Earth Union, I deeply regret what happened to the Ring World. It was my carelessness that led to the tragedy today."

Although Luo Congmin apologized, she didn't even make the move to stand up. She still leaned back in her chair, glancing at the officials including Cheng Xin.

She sat on this position for hundreds of years. No other emperor in human history had been in office as long as her. In terms of her great achievements, she was comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor.

The reason why such a big chaos occurred in the Ring World this time was that the Trisolarans were too powerful. Luo Congmin knew very well that even if all 14 troops were stationed in the Ring World at that time, they would not be able to defend it, so she did not implicate everyone else in this matter.

When Cheng Xin heard this, she raised her hand.

"Mr. President, I am not here to call you to task today. Instead, I want to bring you some good news. Maybe we don't have to die."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell into an uproar.

"No need to die?"

"real or fake!"

"The Ring World has been bombed. Is there any other backup means of escape?"

Just as everyone was puzzled, many officials' faces changed at the same time.

Because just now, they received news that Cheng Xin personally released the former Sword Bearer Wade who was under heavy guard.

Today, Cheng Xin and Ai AA have had their citizenship of the Federation revoked and have been listed as the most wanted persons.

Looking at Cheng Xin again, she was standing in the meeting room of the top leaders of the Local Federation with a swagger, and she had no awareness of being a wanted criminal at all. This meant that she must have found a new way, which was why she was so fearless!

Chapter 232 Black Domain Plan

Before Cheng Xin finished her words, the soldiers around the venue split into two groups. One group was used to block Luo Congmin and other officials, while the other group went around behind Cheng Xin to block their retreat.

"Ms. Cheng Xin, you assisted the criminal Thomas Wade in escaping without authorization. You have now been deprived of your status and rights as a citizen of the Earth Alliance. No matter what you say later, we will arrest you."

Among the local federation officials, the judicial committee member stood up and looked at Cheng Xin in the audience with cold eyes. It was not as if he was looking at a living person.

He is one of the representative officials of the hawkish faction. When Cheng Xin was still in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there were many conflicts between the two sides. Now Cheng Xin has become a prisoner, and even the Star Ring Group has been identified as a dangerous organization by the Earth Federation, so the Judicial Committee will naturally not miss this perfect opportunity for retaliation.

The dove representatives saw this and remained silent.

There is no way. It’s not that they don’t want to take care of it, but they simply don’t know what identity they should use to take care of this matter.

In the past, Cheng Xin was an important speaker of the dove faction, but after the incident with the Sword-Bearer, Cheng Xin willingly gave up her position as Minister of Foreign Affairs, so now, in name only, she is not even an official of the Local Federation.

Doves naturally won't spend any money to protect such a person.

But Cheng Xin didn't care. She glanced at everyone present, with a rare hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

As for the Local Federation... it's nothing special. Even at this point, they are still engaging in party disputes.

From this we can see what a wise choice it was for me to take the opportunity to quit the shithole that was the Ground Union.

"Everyone, why not listen to Ms. Cheng first? It won't be too late to make plans later."

Although he disliked Cheng Xin, Luo Congmin also knew that it was time for him to step in to mediate. No matter how annoying Cheng Xin was, at least she was still considering the issue from the perspective of all mankind. This was much better than those officials who only knew how to fight for power.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Soon, Cheng Xin shared the documents in her hand with the officials present through the brain network.

After everyone received this document, they were shocked at first, and then their faces twisted and they looked extremely angry!

"boom!"

The Minister of the Army was so angry that he punched the table. The electronic screen in front of him became dim and flickering because of the power of the punch.

"How ridiculous! How ridiculous! The Trisolarans are going too far!"

Although the other local federation officials did not appear as angry as he was, their expressions were not very good either.

The document that Cheng Xin brought was given to her by Chieko. It was a plan, and the content of the plan was actually not unfamiliar to the people in Dilian.

Black Domain Plan!

After the Ring World was successfully destroyed by the Trisolarans, the next move of the Trisolarans came very quickly, even faster than anyone imagined, and that was the Black Domain Plan!

In fact, this plan has been known to humans for a long time. It is nothing more than castrating the development of their own civilization in order to gain a chance to breathe in the dark forest.

Unfortunately, although many people supported this plan, it was ultimately aborted due to Wade's coercion.

And now, the Trisolarans are bringing up old issues again, which is clearly a humiliation to all of humanity.

It’s like saying, look, if you had listened to me, wouldn’t everything have been fine long ago?

In this plan, the Trisolarans are willing to provide technology to assist all mankind in completing the castration of their own civilization and completing the Black Domain Plan.

But the price is that humans must supervise each other and not allow anyone to escape from the solar system on a curvature spacecraft. Otherwise, the Trisolarans will terminate this technical support.

At the same time, this plan is accompanied by 241 invasion regulations targeting education and culture, including but not limited to the human side's need to provide % of all students in the civilization to undergo Trisolaran ideological transformation.

This really pissed off everyone.

You blew up my ring world, and I'm lucky enough that I didn't come to settle the score with you. How dare you come and negotiate with me?

As for the 241 articles of ideological transformation, the Trisolarans explained that it was to speed up the technical exchanges of the Black Domain Project. However, everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions. This was not a technical exchange at all, but a clear attempt to dig up the roots of all mankind.

"This is a naked provocation. We will never..."

The Minister of Military Affairs suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his speech.

Not only him, but all the local officials present fell silent.

Because everyone realized a very serious problem almost at the same time. The Trisolarans dared to provoke human civilization so blatantly because they knew that human civilization no longer had any more bargaining chips.

It’s not that we can’t agree with the Black Domain Plan, but that we can only agree with the Black Domain Plan.

The Trisolarans are just like Cheng Xin at this moment. Because they are fearless, they dare to so blatantly throw the naked truth in the face of all mankind.

On the stage, Luo Congmin looked at everyone and remained silent for a long time.

It was at this moment that mankind suddenly realized that from today on, there would be no more sword wielders!

Chapter 233 Who has time to care about you?

The 1th year of the Broadcasting Era, 2315 AD.

Luo Congmin stepped down as president, which marked that the entire Federation would be completely freed from her dictatorial rule.

All the officials of the Federation of Local Authorities waited for more than two hundred years before they finally saw off this female president who had spanned three eras.

But no matter what, Luo Ji and his daughter will leave a significant mark in the future history books of human civilization.

One hour after Luo Congmin stepped down as president, two-thirds of the hawkish officials of the Federation of Local Governments submitted their resignations to the Federation of Local Governments Committee.

Five hours after he left office as president, the Central Ground Union began to collapse, and the five ministers had to hold an emergency meeting to bring together the remaining members to fill the vacant positions.

No matter what the fate of mankind will be in the future, the central core must not be in chaos. Once the Earth Union collapses, mankind will be completely plunged into chaos.

On the third day after he left office, the news had spread throughout the solar system. Strong protests and condemnations broke out in various places, accusing the Earth Federation of incompetence and many mistakes in this war.

On the fifth day, public opinion began to develop in an increasingly strange direction. A large number of Asians began to denounce officials of other races on the Internet, saying that they were primarily responsible for the disastrous defeat in World War I.

What's worse is that some people have deified Luo Congmin, saying that she is the last straw to save humanity.

In fact, there have been many similar remarks like the above in the past few years, but this is the first time that they have suddenly become mainstream.

Many smart people have begun to realize the weirdness of this matter. Everyone feels that something is wrong, but they can't tell where the problem lies.

Since the end of the two major international eras, the concept of nation has actually been blurred by all human beings, but the prejudices in people's minds will never be eliminated. Even if there are no countries, human races and nations still exist.

As long as there are people in a society, there will never be a stop to discrimination against those who are different. This is an innate sense of exclusion in human beings and the most fundamental basis for evolution through the survival of the fittest.

Therefore, in order to prevent conflicts between different races, the Earth Union consciously guides different races to different living planets, allowing them to be classified together as much as possible to avoid the breeding of new troubles.

But doing so has both advantages and disadvantages. In the short term, it does save a lot of trouble, but it is not conducive to the long-term unification of mankind. But there is no way around it. After all, in the face of the crisis of human survival, the issue of race has become insignificant.

But this issue, which no one had paid attention to even two hundred years ago, was suddenly brought up at this time. No one would believe it if they said that there was no other person instigating it.

As for the person behind this, no one needs to speculate too much, as everyone already knows most of it.

"The Three Bodies' desire to destroy me will never die."

Luo Ji sat back in his chair, the projection screen in front of him scrolling from time to time, and several new messages were sent to his mind, nearly half of which were showing that a small-scale conflict between different races had broken out in a certain place.

Some were about shuttle collisions, while others were about certain people starting zero-dollar shopping activities. Anyway, the common point of these news was that they kept emphasizing that the perpetrators were residents of another race.

Luo Congmin, who was eating potato cakes nearby, glanced at it and stopped looking.

"What's the point of reading fake news? It's just news deliberately made up by someone."

However, Luo Ji remained noncommittal.

"You think they are fake now, but soon, these news may be true."

Luo Congmin was stunned when he heard this, and then continued to eat the food in his hand with a smacking sound.

"It's none of my business. I've already resigned. The Underground Union will handle this matter themselves. They can't always count on the two of us to save the world. This is not a movie. Even a terrifying guy like Lin Xuan is dead now. Let's just ignore it."

"Ah!"

Lin Xuan, who was playing chess with Chieko at this time, suddenly sneezed for some reason.

"Fuck, which bastard is cursing me behind my back again?"

Lin Xuan wiped her nose, looking unhappy.

"It feels like that girl Luo Congmin. Of course, it could also be Wang Miao. After all, I have owed Professor Wang salary for more than ten years. It's normal for me to be scolded."

Just as Lin Xuan was daydreaming, Chieko in front of him had already made a move.

The fourth game between the two sides was about to be decided.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Chieko is still in the upper hand, and is chasing Lin Xuan's chess pieces like a leech on his heel, forcing Lin Xuan to defend himself hastily without any ability to fight back.

"Tsk, this is quite a trick. Using my own chess pieces to break my own game, thus splitting the momentum I have accumulated into several pieces. It seems that the Trisolarans have made a lot of progress in their strategies over the years."

Lin Xuan gave a rare compliment, but Tomoko remained expressionless and spoke slowly.

"This is just one way to apply the chain of suspicion. Compared to Mr. Luo Ji, we still have a long way to go."
