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

The representative of the Ground Union Committee turned his gaze to Tomoko, awaiting his response.

"I know what you want to ask, Mr. Condesford. You think that the Human Union, which destroyed nearly half of our senior leaders, should be regarded as our mortal enemy, and should not stand on the same front with your Earth Union as it is now."

A friendly smile appeared on Tomoko's face.

"If you think so, it only shows that you still don't understand the Trisolaran world. In order to survive, we are willing to become a vassal race of the Kana people and cooperate with the Earth Union again. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with that."

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made some sense, but they were limited by human thinking and were unable to come around for a while.

As an absolutely rational race, how could the Trisolarans give up the chance to survive just because of a momentary anger like humans? To them, even history would be classified as nihilism. How could they fight to the death with humans just for the so-called racial hatred?

"But we need to make some slight changes to our cooperation method. In the past, the Trisolarans were able to cooperate with Earth because they had Luo Ji as the Sword Bearer. We have to admit that Mr. Luo Ji's existence is a deterrent and also a form of protection."

When the first Sword-wielder of Deterrence, Luo Ji, was mentioned again, many officials from the Ground Union could not help but lower their heads, especially those officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had supported Cheng Xin to become the second Sword-wielder.

"Although we have a common goal now, the cunningness of humans is something that the Trisolaran civilization still needs to learn. Therefore, the main body of our cooperation this time is not the Earth Union, but Lin Xuan."

"impossible!"

The Minister of Engineering was the first to stand up and oppose it.

"That's impossible. The Earth Union is the administrative body of mankind. Although the establishment of the Earth Union is closely related to Mr. Lin Xuan, in essence, Mr. Lin Xuan is not a senior executive of the Earth Union. If the Trisolarans' cooperative entity is changed to Mr. Lin Xuan, the legitimacy and authority of the Earth Union administration will face unprecedented challenges."

As soon as these words were spoken, many local officials suddenly came to their senses.

Yes, it’s okay to let Lin Xuan control the Earth Alliance, but Lin Xuan must never be the main body of cooperation with the Trisolarans.

In this case, should the grassroots people listen to the local government or Lin Xuan?

There was a very important reason why Cheng Xin was supported by the doves in the first place, that is, she possessed the ability to communicate with the Three-Body World. Apart from Luo Ji and Lin Xuan, she was one of the few people in the human world who could communicate with the Three-Body World.

Otherwise, due to the serious crime of Cheng Xin and Ai AA letting Wade go, she would never be able to step into the door of the Earth Union again in her life.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, I'm sure you know something about Cheng Xin's situation. Her memory was tampered with, and she became a tool used by the Trisolarans to split the internal political power of the Earth. Her appearance has fully demonstrated the drawbacks of this kind of cooperative relationship. As long as the Trisolarans are determined to destroy us humans, this risk will exist."

The director of the engineering department said this in a tactful way. What he actually meant was that if Cheng Xin could be controlled, then you, Lin Xuan, could also be controlled. This situation is too dangerous. Even if the probability of it happening is extremely small, we must never allow this possibility to exist.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard that.

"Oh, you've learned your lesson. That's rare. When I chose Cheng Xin, why didn't you guys have such high ideological awareness? I thought you didn't know about the disadvantages, but it seems you can think of it!"

Everyone was silent. Everyone knew what they were worried about. Lin Xuan's existence could completely replace the entire Earth Federation, which meant that everyone present would lose their jobs because of Lin Xuan's appearance.

"Forget it. I don't care about your affairs. Like you said, I am not a senior official of the Earth Union. This matter concerning the fate of two civilizations should really be handed over to your Earth Union to handle. I am not here today to replace the Earth Union, but to settle accounts with those dove representatives!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, she stretched out her hand and a list was transmitted to everyone present via the brain network.

"These are the officials of the Earth Federation who participated in the plan to destroy the ring world. I have just killed some of the people on the list. For the rest, I will give you one day to commit suicide. If I find you still alive tomorrow morning, I will personally come to your door to claim your lives!"

Lin Xuan said this and did not plan to stay for too long. Countless nanorobots under his feet formed a ladder and carried him out of the broken second-floor conference hall.

When the local officials saw the names on the list, their faces changed again and again.

Some even fainted.

This list was jointly selected by Chieko and Lin Xuan. It includes almost all the doves, and the leader is Cheng Xin!

It can be said that the destruction of the entire ring world was caused by the doves.

They are too scared, fear of the unknown, fear of the future!

They don't know what will happen in the future after the Ring World takes away humans, whether it will be destroyed or reborn.

But no matter which one it is, it seems to have a huge impact on their current status!

So, they chose to betray, or in other words, they forced all of humanity to take another path - the Black Domain Plan!

The Three-Body World no longer needs human traitors like ETO, they can only do it themselves.

Blow up the ring world. Only in this way will humans agree to build the black zone.

It is worth mentioning that the idea of ​​building a black domain is actually accepted by most humans.

At least more than 90% of the human race supports the Black Zone Project and opposes the construction of the Ring World. This can be seen from everyone's hatred for Vader!

The day after Lin Xuan returned, the entrance of the Dilian Building was crowded with people kneeling.

These were all the people on Lin Xuan’s list. They were tied up, with their hands and feet bound, and were kneeling in an orderly manner on the street in front of the building.

Nowadays, these asphalt roads are rarely used, so kneeling here will not hinder traffic, but it will make passers-by stop and watch.

"What happened? Why did so many people kneel down at once?"

When someone in the crowd asked a question, someone immediately stood up to explain and briefly told them about the destruction of the ring world.

In this era, the lower classes actually don't pay much attention to politics, but the Ringworld was built by Wade by forcibly conscripting all of humanity, so when they heard that the destruction of the Ringworld was done by these people, anger suddenly surged in everyone's hearts, and they cursed the Ground Federation officials who were kneeling on the ground.

Especially the leader Cheng Xin. As the spokesperson of the Black Domain Project, she has appeared in the media many times before.

Now that things have taken a turn, she was naturally taken out again.

But putting everything else aside, she is indeed the most innocent one among all. After all, she has been used as a tool from the beginning to the end of the whole thing, and she had no idea that things would develop to this point today.

Looking at Cheng Xin kneeling on the ground, Lin Xuan somehow suddenly remembered someone she had seen in her previous life.

Environmental protection girl.

When the West needed her, she was an environmental girl, but when the political wind changed, she became a spy colluding with the enemy country.

It's ironic.

Chapter 247: A Bad Life

"I heard that Lin Xuan is back?"

Zhang Xiang put down his gaming helmet and looked at Luo Congmin next to him.

"Yeah, I think I heard about it."

Luo Congmin seemed to be unconcerned about this, as if whether Lin Xuan showed up or not was not too important to her.

Ever since she stepped down as the president of the Federation of Local Authorities, she has been playing sloppy games at home, and she is too lazy to even go out.

In fact, his parents were quite worried about her mental state, so they let Zhang Xiang go back to his job as a nanny and be responsible for cooking for the girl every day.

Otherwise, she would have to survive on nutrient solution every day, and would be no different from those hibernators.

Yes, no matter what, Lin Xuan has disappeared for almost decades. The last time she saw him, Luo Congmin was only more than 200 years old. With the support of Lin Xuan, to be honest, she felt very comfortable as the president.

As a result, after Lin Xuan disappeared, various problems of the Earth Union were immediately exposed.

First, there was the food issue. That was the truth. When Luo Congmin heard this issue, he felt it was a bit abstract.

Before Liu Chang left Earth to join the expeditionary force, he had improved grain production to an exaggerated level, so much so that even if he used the rice ears as firewood every day, it would be more than enough.

As a result, famine still occurred even after so many years.

Luo Congmin checked the records in ancient books and found that the last famine recorded in history was during the Great Depression before the two major international powers came to power.

And the solution... well, it was not reliable at all. At that time, Lin Xuan solved the problem by directly fighting in Luoyang and becoming a god.

Therefore, Luo Congmin also figured it out. The damn food problem was actually the result of the corruption of the local federation. So she tried to take action on the lower levels and wanted to carry out a thorough reform.

But sometimes the idea is good, but the implementation is extremely difficult.

When she was a child, she once heard her mother tell her about the Hundred Days' Reform several centuries ago, which lasted less than a hundred days before it was declared over.

As a result, when it came to her, her reform policy didn't even last a day before it was directly opposed by five ministers.

The five ministries were originally established to serve as checks and balances between each other, and at the same time to strengthen the president's centralized power at critical moments.

Now that Lin Xuan is missing, all the troubles are on her shoulders alone.

The five ministers are not fools. If they do not try to undermine Luo Congmin's power, then this woman will always have the highest say in the Earth Federation.

The rights of the five of them became meaningless.

Now is a good time for Lin Xuan to disappear. Compared with external struggles, they are more tempted by the benefits of sharing internal power.

If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. Most people naively think that even without Lin Xuan, there will be people like Su Xuan and Li Xuan who will stand up. Besides, isn’t there still a swordsman alive?

So there is no point for them to worry about anything. If something really happens, the worst that can happen is that everyone will die together. Anyway, except for Luo Congmin, the top leaders of the Earth Federation are not immortal. This world is not theirs. After a hundred years, when everyone is burned in the crematorium, no one will recognize each other.

So, in the end, the five ministers forced President Luo Congmin to step down. It is true that she is good at political struggles, but she was a little confused in this political struggle.

Is it really meaningful for me to continue fighting with the five ministers?

Even if I win the fight and successfully kill these five people, and replace them with five new ministers, won’t they have such thoughts?

Obviously impossible!

The head follows the butt. The rule that immortals are not allowed to serve as ministers of the five ministries, which was originally set to avoid ideological rigidity, has instead become a burden to the entire Earth Federation.

Because they know that this world still belongs to the immortals and has nothing to do with them.

So naturally I don’t want to take it seriously.

"You still have to go and meet him. After all, he is your brother." Zhang Xiang just said this and got up to go to the kitchen to cook.

PS: In order to prevent me from being lazy and not writing, I set up a TikTok live broadcast to write. You can search my author name and follow the scene to urge me to update.

Chapter 248 What’s in the Bag

72 hours after the Navigator raided the Trisolaran mother planet, all 13 archons had filled their vacancies. In addition, the rest of the senior officials had also undergone a complete replacement.

Zhang Beihai's entire decapitation operation could be said to be very smooth, all thanks to the fact that their civilization itself had pointed out this highly replaceable regime early on. Otherwise, it would probably take at least a hundred or eighty years to recover from this wave of theft.

The newly appointed head of state couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw the mess left by his predecessor.

If he had not been trained as a successor, he would have wanted to run away by now.

In fact, they have dozens of response plans for the event that the head of state is suddenly attacked by a hostile civilization.

The alternative system is one of them.

The core leadership team cultivated by the entire civilization at the beginning is not just one or two people, but more than a dozen or even dozens of people. If one of them dies, the rest can fill in.

Avoid the situation where the absence of one person will directly lead to the collapse of the entire situation.

After handing over most of the chores to the other politicians under him, the newly appointed head of state finally had time to convene a meeting of the remaining consuls.

"I can't believe that Lin Xuan has such a long-term plan. The Doomsday War, even in the history of our civilization, is a long time ago. If it weren't for the relevant documents, I would have almost forgotten about this battle."

"He has actually been quietly making plans since then."

There was no sign of joy or anger on the new leader's face, but through the emotions transmitted through his brain waves, the consuls still felt a hint of anger from him.

For some reason, it seems that they were scared by this decapitation operation. Until now, they no longer use brain waves to communicate with each other, but instead use methods learned from humans.

It’s quite ironic when you think about it.

They had previously mocked the Earth Union, saying that humans using language to communicate was a sign of backward civilization. But now, they themselves have to use language to communicate.

"It's meaningless to say so much now. The coordinates have been exposed. The only way is to hope that the ring world can be successfully built. Otherwise, given our current situation, I'm afraid no one can escape from this dead zone."

The Science Archon has been replaced again. No one can remember how many Science Archon he is. Ever since he started fighting with Lin Xuan, the position of Science Archon has been replaced very frequently.

"Do you have any corresponding parameter analysis for the Ring World? Submit a copy to me. I want to know exactly how long it will take to repair that thing after it has been blown up once."

This is the thing that the Führer is most worried about. It's ridiculous that they, who were the ones who planned to blow up the Ringworld, now have to keep a close eye on the restoration of the Ringworld.

"Repairing it is no problem if we are willing to share some advanced technology..."

"No."

The Archon of Culture and Education spoke out his opposition without waiting for the Archon of Science to finish speaking.

"Do you want to die? Have you forgotten the knowledge sealing rules? A high-level civilization directly instills knowledge into a low-level civilization. Do you really think the blow is not coming fast enough?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was silent.

They had overlooked this, but the current situation was somewhat embarrassing. If they gave it to them, they would have violated the Covenant of Universal Civilization. Even if they could escape this disaster, they would be liquidated again afterwards.

If you don’t give it to me, then we’ll all die together.

"And there is one thing, Your Excellency. I think you may have forgotten that humans are different from us. They cannot rationally select the talents that should be protected first. This means that even if we reach a cooperation with them and successfully repair the ring world, they will not be able to forgive us for everything we have done in the past few centuries."

"To use a phrase from human civilization, forgetting history is equal to betrayal."

"Is it really possible for us to negotiate terms with a civilization that is dominated by emotions?"

This is actually the kind of accident that the archons are most worried about. Humans cannot be as absolutely rational as they are. This is their shortcoming, but also the basis on which they have been able to develop to this day.

"Maybe we can let the Fairy Tale Archon give it a try. There might be unexpected results."
