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

Number Three thought about it and held up a finger.

"Bai Bing."

Chapter 272: Tomoko's Prison Escape

"I want white ice."

"Row".

"He would be the one who left without asking me why?"

"I do not care."

Lin Xuan agreed to No. 3's request without much hesitation.

There is no other reason. Although Bai Bing does have some talent, it is really useless for her to stay with him.

Since the successful establishment of the Mewtwo system, Bai Bing's role has become smaller and smaller. Apart from the daily maintenance of the server, Lin Xuan has not seen any other outstanding contributions from this guy. It can even be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that Bai Bing is the person with the smallest role in Lin's party.

Number Three obviously didn't expect that Lin Xuan would agree so easily, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, as long as you don't regret it."

Lin Xuan shook her head.

"Why should I regret it? Anyway, this person is useless to me. If you want to borrow him, just borrow him."

"Just make it clear first, I can't lend you money for free. You have to give me something I'm satisfied with in exchange for the equivalent."

Number Three smiled confidently upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I made this special trip because I have already brought what you want."

"I see that you seem to be quite concerned about the Ring World recently. What a coincidence! I happen to have a design drawing of a similar megastructure. It may not be 100% similar to yours, but at least you should be able to use it."

Lin Xuan didn't have high expectations for number three, but when she heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up!

Although the construction speed of the ring world has been significantly accelerated after a major industrial survey, Lin Xuan and everyone else are still very nervous facing the attack of the dark forest that may come at any time.

Who knows when the house will be bombed? It will be good for everyone if we can complete the world ring project as soon as possible.

"Okay, but you have to give me the stuff first. You know, I don't have the final say on whether this thing is useful or not."

Number Three did not refuse. With a wave of his hand, a piece of information was copied to Lin Xuan's Super Dream System.

"I'm waiting for your good news, Lin Xuan. If you think this deal can be done, I'll come to you again in three days."

Number Three said this, and stood up and left.

But Lin Xuan seemed to suddenly think of something and turned to look at No. 3.

"Wait, if you could find my location, why did you make such a big deal about it?"

What Lin Xuan was referring to was naturally what this person had done in the Oort Cloud before, and his subsequent practice of silencing all defense facilities after entering the Earth.

At first everyone thought that he was provoking him, but only Lin Xuan felt that the other party probably did so for other purposes.

Number Three was stunned when he heard this.

"Isn't that a gesture of friendship to you? I took the initiative to expose my position, and I didn't know you, kid? If I entered your territory without giving you a heads up in advance, I'm afraid I would be lying on the ground talking to you now."

Lin Xuan was shocked when she heard this.

Was the original owner of this body so bad-tempered?

But think about it, if the other party really entered the range of the Earth Alliance without saying a word, then even if Lin Xuan did not take action, he would preconceivedly regard the other party as an enemy.

"Then there's no need for you to go find Tomoko to pass on the message to me. Just come and see me directly."

This is what Lin Xuan finds most puzzling. When No. 3 arrived on Earth, Tomoko actually knew about it before him. Although Tomoko is no longer a threat to him, Lin Xuan has never stopped being wary of this woman.

Number Three was stunned when he heard this.

"What is a Tomoko?"

Lin Xuan was also stunned.

"Haven't you met her? That artificial intelligence, you even asked her to bring me a message."

Suddenly, Lin Xuan had a very bad feeling in her heart.

He quickly sent a message to Ai AA.

The communication was quickly connected. Ai AA was in a meeting in the office building of StarRing Group at that time. If it were someone else, they would not be able to get in the communication frequency band at this time.

But Lin Xuan is different. Ai AA made special notes for this man. No matter when, Lin Xuan’s communication will be answered first.

"AA, contact the prison right now and see if Tomoko is still in there!"

Ai AA did not immediately ask Lin Xuan what happened, but hurriedly did as he was told.

Two minutes later, Lin Xuan's inner uneasiness was finally confirmed.

Tomoko disappeared into thin air.

No, that's not accurate. Tomoko's body was still there. When the prison guards came to the room where she was, the woman collapsed on the table as if she was dead, without any electromagnetic reaction.

"Someone took the initiative to cut off Sophon's control."

Lin Xuan thought of this possibility the first time, and her scalp went numb.

The Trisolaran mother planet had been destroyed long ago. Logically, Sophon's control console should have been destroyed long ago as well.

Therefore, from that time on, Tomoko would no longer execute any new instructions, and all her behavior patterns would give corresponding feedback according to the set program.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Xuan felt relieved to leave this woman with the Star Ring Group.

No matter how powerful she was in the past, Tomoko is now just a more advanced machine.

But now it seems that things are far from as simple as Lin Xuan thought. During this period of time, Chieko may have been controlled by someone behind the scenes.

It feels like you installed a fake camera at home, and suddenly one day you find out that someone replaced it with a real one.

You have no idea who is watching the surveillance behind the scenes.

Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Lin Xuan could only focus on the things at hand.

After sending the design drawings to Wang Miao and others, they soon received a reply from there.

"Lin Xuan, you are such a genius. Where did you get this thing? It's great. With the experience gained from this thing, we should be able to avoid many detours. Ten years... no, five years. Give me another five years, and I guarantee that all the projects in the Ring World will be completed smoothly."

Wang Miao seemed very excited. He had been troubled by this thing for too many years. The main reason was that humans had no experience in designing giant structures.

The only solution is to try again and again.

But the construction of a giant structure is no different from other things. The loss of materials alone is an astronomical figure. So once the direction is wrong, it will be difficult to turn the ship around and change direction.

Since the construction of the ring world, the planets in the solar system have been almost demolished by Wang Miao and his team. The Earth Union has even formed a special mining ship to mine useful metals in other surrounding star systems.

Moreover, the gravity problem is also a big trouble. Mercury has not been dismantled until now because once this planet is dismembered, the gravitational turbulence will be difficult to deal with. However, other planets also require the Academy of Sciences to calculate gravitational guidance day and night.

Once there is a slight deviation in the calculation simulation results, the consequences can be fatal.

The most thrilling one was when they were digging into the outer side of Jupiter, causing its orbit to deviate, allowing the orbits of two nearby space cities to overlap infinitely at one point.

In the end, the two space cities almost passed by each other's world. If the orbital deflection had a higher degree of overlap, we would have seen a grand cosmic fireworks display.

Chapter 273 Exchange

Now, with this blueprint as a reference, we can save a lot of unnecessary trouble in the construction of the ring world.

"Professor Wang, please ask Mr. Ding to confirm the authenticity of this blueprint. If there is no problem, call me back."

Lin Xuan was still a little worried, so she asked Wang Miao to check it again carefully to make sure nothing went wrong. The other party's exchange condition this time was Bai Bing, and if she was really taken away by someone, it would be difficult to get her back.

"Don't worry, I can't go wrong." Wang Miao seemed very confident.

However, he also knew what Lin Xuan meant, so he added a sentence.

"I'll contact Mr. Ding right now, and then back up the information to the Academy of Sciences. If there is really no problem, I will contact you again."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan looked at Number Three in front of her.

"The verification work over there will take some time. How about it? Are you interested in visiting Earth?"

Number Three smiled, stood up and straightened his clothes.

"That's what I meant."

The two of them flashed and left the office of the Ground Alliance almost at the same time. When they appeared again, they had arrived in the center of Los Angeles.

"Hundreds of years ago, I started from here and launched a coup against the five countries. With the surrender of the five countries, the concept of the country was completely erased. From then on, the Earth Union completely unified the human beings in the world into a whole. It was also from that time that I first heard them call me - Observer."

"Compared to this, I'm more curious about why ordinary people would know about the observers? This should be absolutely prohibited in the terms of the experiment. I can prove that I have never revealed any information about the observers, so the problem should be you."

Lin Xuan asked the doubts that had troubled her heart for hundreds of years.

If he understood correctly, the experiment carried out by the observer was kept absolutely confidential, which could be seen from the fact that he knew very little about the observation experiment so far.

But what is strange is how an experiment with such a high level of confidentiality was leaked?

There were only six participants in the entire experiment. If there was no problem with one of them, how could a group of second-level civilizations know so many inside stories?

As a result, this "fake" observer was able to restore the general course of the entire experiment with the help of information gap.

Upon hearing this, No. 3 was silent at first, and then he sighed helplessly.

"You guessed right, Lao Si. Some people didn't intend to abide by the rules of the game from the beginning. They reported all the rules of the experiment just to see if the managers were still alive."

"Manager?"

This was the first time Lin Xuan had heard this word, but since the other party did not explain it, it meant that the original owner of this body should know the meaning of it.

In order not to be exposed, Lin Xuan would not ask any questions as long as the other party did not explain. Anyway, sooner or later she would be able to get what she wanted from the words of these people.

"Well, yes. The manager set the rules of the experiment and asked the six of us to follow them. At the beginning, everyone was very disciplined like you. But you also know that observers are all flesh and blood after all, and they have their own emotions and desires. As observers of the rules, naturally, sometimes they can't help but do things outside the rules."

"At the beginning, everyone was just doing it secretly. After all, the manager could come back at any time, so no one dared to do too much. But as time went on, everyone became bolder. I was one of the more honest people. Look at the eldest and the second oldest. They opened up special privileges for their planets early on, which led to the abnormal development of their planets now."

"But even so, the Administrator has not imposed any punishment, so we are wondering if it is because the Administrator has already been destroyed by other civilizations in the universe. After all, you are familiar with the Dark Forest Law of the universe. Even a civilization as powerful as the Administrator is not completely invincible. If it were truly invincible, there would be no need for us to conduct experiments here."

"But after that, things started to develop in a completely uncontrollable direction. Some people began to actively break the rules to test whether the managers still existed."

"At first I suspected it was Lao Wu. After all, you know Tianchen's character. He is very careless with his mouth and likes to say anything. But now I think if it was really this guy who said it, he would have been eager to show up."

"But it doesn't matter anymore. Although we don't know who is testing the manager's bottom line, the final result has proved that the manager is dead. There is no need to continue the experiment."

"But the eldest and second brother don't agree that the experiment should end like this, right?"

"Correct."

"So you want to ask me for help to stop the experiment, is that right?"

"Yes!"

"That's it!"

Lin Xuan patted No. 3 on the shoulder and showed an "extremely sincere" smile on his face. If someone who was familiar with Lin Xuan saw him with this expression, they would know that this guy was going to fool people again.

"You should have told me earlier that you were here for this matter. If you had told me this earlier, let alone any deal, the two brothers would have been so polite. I would have given you ten pieces of white ice directly, so what?"

When No. 3 heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Fourth Brother, what you said is not right. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I originally thought that you would not help me with your rigid personality. If it weren't for my brother, I would not have taken the initiative to ask you for help if I really had no other choice!"

When Lin Xuan heard this, her face suddenly darkened.

Good man, you really can’t speak?

If I didn't think you were still useful, I would have beaten you just for saying this.

But the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he continued smiling.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this matter. By the way, do you mind if I keep calling you number three?"

"Of course I don't mind, Lao Si. You can call me No. 3 or Shanyue if you want. But if you don't like it, I have a new name on my planet recently. It's Gu Chen."

Gu Chen smiled and touched his square head.

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you. If you need any help from me in the future, just let me know."

After the two of them argued for a while, the Academy of Sciences finally gave a final assessment, confirming the feasibility of this blueprint.
