When Luo Congmin said this, an interested smile appeared on his face, which made Lin Xuan feel a little uneasy.

Luo Congmin will never forget that when he first saw this thing, it was Lin Xuan who ordered the Academy of Sciences to dig day and night.

The Academy of Sciences has spent a lot of effort to figure out what this thing is.

But now you tell me that this thing was built by Lin Xuan, then things become interesting.

"Well, there's no time to lose. We should go now."

Lin Xuan never expected that the first person who would begin to doubt her identity as an observer was not the Trisolarans or any other observer, but Luo Congmin!

But he didn't care. After all, his real trump card had never been exposed. So what if she guessed some clues?

Soon, the spacecraft took off and began to move towards an unknown direction.

Number Three did not spend too much time verifying Bai Bing's identity. It was not known whether he simply did not care or he believed that Lin Xuan would never lie about this matter.

"I'll take a nap. Remember to call me when we get there."

After No. 3 switched the spacecraft's autopilot mode, he went back to the rest cabin to sleep, leaving Lin Xuan alone at the control console.

Only then did Lin Xuan have time to look at the internal structure of the ship.

In terms of speed, this spaceship should not be inferior to the curvature spaceship, but its flying method is completely different from that of the curvature spaceship.

Lin Xuan observed for a long time but couldn't find where the tail flame outlet of the ship was, and he couldn't even find a place like an energy storage room.

Although there is a huge difference in the technology trees between the two sides, it is a bit outrageous that your spaceship doesn't even have a place to arrange the flame mouth, right?

What's the power source of your ship, the Force?

After studying it for a few minutes, Lin Xuan finally gave up because he found that not only did the ship not have a flame-exorcism mouth, but even the operating table was fake.

The operating console of this spacecraft is not used to control the direction, but to control the joint positions of the cabins inside the spacecraft.

For example, by pulling the second joystick in the upper left corner, you will turn the men's restroom on the left side of the second floor of the cabin into a women's restroom, thus solving the problem of queuing in the women's restroom.

Well, isn't it a very useful feature?

Chapter 276 Extreme Idealism

"I originally thought that the difference in technology trees would at most affect the aesthetics, and the general functions would not be much different, but now it seems that I was overthinking."

Lin Xuan's mouth twitched, and she instantly lost interest in the other joysticks.

Who knows what weird functions these pull rods have. Even if there is a function that specifically controls the direction of the toilet bowl, Lin Xuan would not be surprised at all.

The journey of flying at the speed of light is the most boring. The spacecraft travels in a pseudo-superluminal state, but the speed of time perceived by oneself is no different from that in the outside world.

This means that there is still a long waiting time to digest the whole process.

But running on the timeline is much faster than conventional flight. If it were to fly at the speed of a fleet, it would probably take at least a few hundred years.

However, this type of navigation is not completely without disadvantages. The prerequisite for superluminal navigation is to have the corresponding coordinate star map.

Otherwise, if you accelerate without setting a target location, you may directly rush out of the boundary of the universe.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation. The more likely scenario is that the energy of the spacecraft is exhausted in an instant, and then all the people on board are lost in the endless universe along with the ship.

Lin Xuan consumed some of his shock value and replenished the number of nanorobots in his body.

He had been in the underground alliance before and had no chance to take action personally, so the most he could do was to make his daily life more convenient.

But now, when we want to go to other planets, the more nanorobots the better.

"Woke up?"

Noticing footsteps coming from behind, Lin Xuan turned around and saw that No. 3 had already woken up.

"Well, we should be there in thirty minutes."

Number Three said as he walked forward and placed his palm on the display.

After a while, a purple light burst out from his hand and poured into the display screen.

The display screen flashed a few times, and then a line of numbers and a travel line popped up.

"This is……"

Lin Xuan was stunned. It was the first time he saw this kind of purple light. It looked as if it was naturally generated by No. 3's body.

"It's called psychic power."

"Psychic power?"

"No... aren't we going for the science fiction route? Are you already starting to cultivate immortality?"

"Is it time to awaken my superpowers next?"

Number Three smiled when he heard that.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. Psychic energy is just a convenient name we give it. The scientific name of this energy should be spiritual energy."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded, not quite understanding.

"Psychic energy... Yuri, right?"

Number Three: …

"You may say so if you insist."

"Then you still say you are not cultivating immortals. What's the matter? You found that technology cannot beat us, so you started to cultivate immortals, right?"

Number Three: …

Number 3 was speechless. He found Bai Bing's words so irritating. The information didn't say that this guy had this problem.

"Shock value from number three +399!"

"The technology tree of our Earth 3 is different from that of the other two planets, or in other words, it is different from the civilizations of most of the universe."

"Our civilization is one that believes strongly in theocracy. In your words, we are an extremely idealistic civilization."

"This is because in the early development of human society, theocracy was so powerful that it completely overshadowed the royal power. Due to some unexpected changes, the rule of the feudal dynasty was eventually replaced by theocracy. Therefore, even after entering the cosmic age, the development of civilization is still dominated by theocracy."

Lin Xuan was thoughtful after hearing this.

"It sounds interesting, but some of the logic doesn't make sense. If it's a theocracy, how did it develop industry? Wouldn't the development speed be extremely slow?"

Number Three scratched his head.

"Well... I actually thought so at the beginning. After seeing their extreme belief in theocracy, I didn't do much about it. I thought that after entering the industrial age, materialism would definitely suppress idealism. But... there was a little accident. They didn't develop electrical energy or bioenergy, but spiritual energy!"

"Yes, it is the energy you see now. This thing is a kind of supernatural energy that comes with the planet. It will change its form according to the will of the user. Just like electrical energy and chemical energy, it is a renewable energy source."

When Lin Xuan heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

No. 3 didn't need to say anything next, he knew what would happen.

If a civilization that already believes in theocracy suddenly gains access to this kind of energy that can be changed through its own will, then theocracy will be directly strengthened to an epic level.

"Then what do they believe in? They can't believe in you, right?"

Lin Xuan looked at No. 3 with some suspicion. He used physical means to make the people of the Earth Union obey him absolutely. Could it be that No. 3 wanted people to obey him absolutely through faith?

Number Three was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"Um... How should I put it to you? We civilized people are relatively free in what we believe in."

"free?"

"Well...it's just faith and everything."

"After all, psychic energy will change form according to one's own will, so you know, there are beliefs and everything."

Number Three said this and clicked on a picture directly.

"This is a common means of transportation on our planet. Including my spaceship, there are probably more than 17,400 models."

Lin Xuan: …

"Brilliant!"

It really is just one person, one belief.

Number Three nodded, somewhat helplessly.

"Technology is highly developed, but productivity is extremely low. Didn't you just ask me about the Industrial Age? The Industrial Age on this planet is a complete mess. Everyone has different beliefs, which makes it impossible to use assembly lines to produce uniform things. In the end, one thing is produced here and another is produced there. If it weren't for the diversity of psychic energy, I'm afraid this civilization would have been stuck in the Industrial Age for the rest of its life."

Lin Xuan nodded in agreement with what No. 3 said.

"That's true. According to what you said, if there were no such thing as psychic energy, your planet would have been destroyed long ago."

Just by looking at psychic power, Lin Xuan knew that it was of great value.

Just imagine that there is a kind of energy that can replace all energy sources such as bioenergy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, etc., and truly achieve the grand unification of energy. Moreover, this energy can also change with human willpower. How amazing would that be?

In other words, the body structure of carbon-based organisms limits the way this energy is used, otherwise the other five civilizations on Earth combined would not be able to defeat Civilization No. 3.

You are still developing technology, but the civilized people are already cheating. How do you deal with this?

However, this kind of civilization has its advantages as well as disadvantages. First of all, as No. 3 said, it is impossible to achieve unity. The internal contradictions within the civilization are numerous, and they will quarrel among themselves before fighting with outsiders.

The second is that they are too accepting of foreign invaders. When you occupy them, they may not even realize that they are being occupied, and may even thank you for becoming a part of them.

Chapter 277: Sent to the Guillotine

The second year of the Kaidao era, 1 AD.

Lin Xuan's departure did not have much substantial impact on the Ground Union.

All departments continued to operate step by step. The only change was that at nine o'clock in the morning, the Local Union Committee suddenly issued a new decree. From that day on, the Local Union entered the pioneering era.

Everyone was confused and had no idea what had happened. Everyone was privately speculating whether the sudden move by the Earth Union was caused by some major incident.

However, due to Luo Congmin's deliberate information blockade, no one except Lin's party had any way of knowing that Lin Xuan had left the solar system.

Therefore, the real reason for the sudden change of era remains a mystery.

In fact, in this era, everyone can control the changes in the earth's climate at will. For most people, the new era is just a tool to record time and does not have much practical significance.

Even if it was changed, everyone would just feel a little surprised, and not many people would delve into the cause and effect relationship.

"Next is the weather forecast. According to the results of yesterday's public vote, the weather in Yuzhou City today will be: light snow. Citizens, please prepare for the cold when going out."

"An? Damn it, did Bao Pilong vote for Xiaoxue? I really want to shovel the shit out of your ears. Yesterday when I was at work, you guys picked a hot day, and I was so hot on the construction site that I was spitting fire. Today I'm on vacation, and I said I'd go out for a walk, but you guys picked a light snowy day. If you want me dead, just say so, don't torture me like this."

The weather can already be changed at will. By the time the ring world is built and the orbit of the star system can be modified, I am afraid that even the time will no longer be accurate.

Since Lin Xuan left with No. 3 under Bai Bing's identity, Luo Congmin asked Bai Bing to temporarily suspend her duties and go home to rest for safety reasons. -

All the work related to him was also handed over to the people below to take over and complete.

Otherwise, if the fake Bai Bing just left and the real Bai Bing continued to work in the Local Union, then No. 3 would really be deceived as a fool.

Luo Congmin had a good idea. Bai Bing's daily job was just to maintain the Mewtwo database anyway, so he could just find a few people to temporarily take over for a few days.

But soon everyone realized something was wrong. Since Bai Bing left, problems with the Mewtwo server began to occur frequently. Several bugs had to be fixed by Bai Bing working overtime overnight.

At first everyone thought that the emergence of these bugs was related to Lin Xuan’s departure, but Luo Congmin soon realized that things were not that simple.

He always thought that Bai Bing was useless, the one who made the least contribution in Lin's party. It seemed that the Local Alliance would not be able to survive without him.

"If it really doesn't work, let Bai Bing come back to work. No. 3 and Lin Xuan should have gone far away. Let Bai Bing come back to take over these messes. I don't want to send people to solve these Mewtwo database bugs every day."

Luo Congmin was speechless when he saw the densely populated bug log records on the screen.

If she didn't know that Bai Bing was one of them, she would have suspected that this guy had implanted some virus into the Mewtwo database. Why did so many problems arise as soon as he left?

Just as Luo Congmin was thinking, Yu Tuan, his assistant, came over.

"Luo, Bai Bing's social account just released a video, I think you might be very interested."

"Sent to see."

After he finished speaking, Yu Tuan uploaded a video clip to the big screen.

Accompanied by the sound of BGM, the AI-synthesized female voice began to read.

"I was reborn, and returned to the day before I was laid off by the company. The company was reducing costs and increasing profits. What was it like to lay off a large number of people? I was originally just an unknown server maintenance worker in the company. One day, the female boss suddenly asked me to pack up and go home..."

Luo Congmin didn't say anything, he just watched the video silently, but Yu Tuan knew that Bai Bing was finished this time.
