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

No. 3 waved his hand and took out the photos saved that year, and then AI began to deduce.

“See, this is what it was like back then.”

Lin Xuan raised her head and looked at the photo on the screen.

The densely packed space stations and mining areas were covered by planets, and then the stars appeared next.

17 completely different star systems together make up this cluster.

"Later, Earth No. 2 arrived. Earth No. 2 was a civilization with extremely advanced genetic technology. When they arrived here, the vanguard troops even collected some genetic fragments of our Earth's creatures for research."

"And then, how was this black hole formed?"

Lin Xuan pointed to the black hole in the middle of the photo. It was obvious that this thing only appeared when Earth No. 2 arrived here. Before they came, even if Earth No. 3 had already been stationed here, it did not cause much change to the ecological environment of the Elbato Cluster.

"This is caused by the guide. In order to ensure that the confrontation in the experiment can go on, the administrator set a setting for the guide. When the guides of two civilizations are too close to each other, they will automatically attract each other and produce a black hole, which will gradually devour the surrounding star systems."

As he spoke, No. 3 showed Lin Xuan some comparison pictures.

It can be clearly seen that when the black hole was first created, it was not as large as it is now, but as time goes by, the size of the black hole is constantly expanding, forcing the three Earth civilizations to continuously shrink their living space.

"I understand this. Isn't this the shrinking circle of poison?"

Number Three: …

"I really want to refute you, but what you said seems to be quite vivid."

"So, the Elbato Cluster is actually the battlefield where the administrators let you civilizations have the final battle, and they also set up a black hole to prevent you from escaping."

Obviously, the three Earths all came here with the help of the guide, no matter they entered the Elberto cluster with the star system like Lin Xuan, or just fled here with their home star. Once they entered here, due to the suction of the black hole in the middle, the third-level civilization would never be able to break through its escape velocity and leave here.

Isn’t this just an octagonal version of Black Domain?

"Then should I have chosen to escape from the beginning and not bring my home planet into the Elbato star cluster? As long as I don't get involved in your final showdown, my planet will be absolutely safe."

As if he could see what Lin Xuan was thinking, No. 3 smiled.

"If the administrator's curse is so easy to break, that would be great. Since this is an experiment, the first thing we need to do is to prevent us little white mice from escaping without permission. In addition to guiding your planet into the Elbato star cluster, the guide also has an important function of preventing escape."

"Do you know why Tianchen's Earth suffered a catastrophic disaster? It was because their civilization knew the function of the guide and tried to escape the experiment with the Earth. In the end, the coordinates were exposed by the guide and they were eradicated by the higher civilization!"

"The guide will continuously release a signal to help advanced civilizations locate its position. If you do not enter the Elbato star cluster at the moment of confrontation, the only outcome that awaits you is destruction."

Chapter 280 Tripartite Checks and Balances

"Back to the original question, the main reason I came to you this time is that we are lacking an expert in computers and neural systems."

Number Three looked at Lin Xuan, but because he was wearing a mask, Lin Xuan couldn't see his expression at the moment.

"Then you can definitely take Professor Wang. Although he is not an expert in computers, Wang Miao's ability in neural networks is far superior to mine. If we have to rank them, if Hines were still alive, Wang Miao would be second only to Hines."

Lin Xuan was puzzled. This reason was too far-fetched. He admitted that Bai Bing was indeed a genius, but the Dilian had better candidates.

"Wang Miao can't leave, at least not now."

Number Three's tone was somewhat meaningful.

Lin Xuan thought about it for a moment and understood the meaning of the other party's words.

Number Three wants to take Bai Bing away, most likely because he wants to use Bai Bing to deal with the mechanical civilization of Earth Number One, but suppressing the development of the mechanical civilization is essentially hoping to balance the power of the three civilizations.

Therefore, whether Earth-4 can develop is actually the key factor that determines the war in the Elbato Cluster.

If Wang Miao left, the engineering department would lose a director, and No. 3 was not sure whether this would affect Lin Xuan's future civilization development, so to be on the safe side, letting Bai Bing leave was the most cost-effective option.

"There is one thing I don't quite understand. Since everyone knows that this war must be fought to the death in order to gain the greatest benefit, why didn't Number One attack you two from the beginning?"

Number Three did not elaborate on the power gap between the three civilizations, but it was not difficult for Lin Xuan to analyze that the reason why the three-party balance was broken was probably because Number Three was too weak.

In this case, why doesn’t Number One just kill Number Three directly, so that all problems will be solved?

"It's a good idea, but you also know that the purpose of the decisive battle is to make the final selection through experiments. The managers will naturally not let such a thing happen, so they have already made preparations in advance. If you want to start the final showdown, all surviving Earth civilizations must enter the ancient battlefield."

"Except for you, the other two Earths have been destroyed. So as long as your civilization does not enter the Elbato Nebula, Earth One will not be able to attack us."

"But this shouldn't be a long-term solution. If you can find us, No. 1 can also find us."

Lin Xuan immediately understood the key point.

"So you brought me here for two reasons. One is that you want me to assist you, and the other is that you want me to report the situation here to the civilization on Earth No. 4?"

"That's right." Number Three nodded.

"The only way for us to win is to delay as much time as possible, because Earth One has now reached the maximum limit of what a Level 3 civilization can achieve, and their technology has stagnated. We need to prolong the time until the showdown arrives and shorten the gap in strength between us as much as possible, so that we can have a chance of winning this war."

When Lin Xuan heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Didn't you say you wanted to stop the war? Why do you want to win this war now?"

Number Three was helpless.

"This is a bit difficult to explain to you. We have thought of a way to stop this experiment from continuing, but now Civilization No. 1 is already sure of victory. If we don't stop them first, it will be difficult for both parties to sit down at the negotiation table in peace."

"I see, what do you need me to do?"

Lin Xuan is actually more concerned about this. He entered Earth No. 3 as Bai Bing. Given the current situation, there is actually not much he can do.

Number Three thought for a while.

"To be honest, I haven't made up my mind yet, but the general direction is to weaken the overall strength of the mechanical civilization Earth as much as possible, and then enhance our own strength. Of course, if you need any help, I will assist you as much as possible. I will not ask about or restrict any of your actions. As long as you can restore the balance between the three parties, I can turn a blind eye even if it means leaking our Earth's technology to your civilization."

"In fact, this mission should be best performed by your Earth 4 observer Lin Xuan. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to offer him conditions that would be good enough for him to help me, otherwise it would be a good show to watch."

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

"Don't worry, I should be able to do better than Lin Xuan on this matter!"

Number Three doesn’t understand why the other party is so confident, but since the other party dares to make a promise to him, it is a good thing generally speaking.

"Okay, I will send you to Faxuan City. I have already arranged a corresponding identity for you in advance. What to do next is entirely up to you."

As No. 3 spoke, he sent a document to Lin Xuan, which was information about all the cities and administrative departments on Earth No. 3.

With these, even if Lin Xuan came to this planet for the first time, she would be able to quickly integrate into the environment.

Before leaving, No. 3 left his contact information to Lin Xuan, and then sent him to the landing capsule.

Soon, the landing capsule separated from spacecraft No. 3 and headed straight for the starport where Faxuan City was located.

Just now, Lin Xuan was far away on the spaceship and couldn't see clearly. The appearance of Earth No. 3 didn't seem to be much different from the planet she was on, but the entire surface of the planet was covered with a layer of light purple gas.

This purple gas reminded Lin Xuan of the spiritual energy released by No. 3 just now. The color was almost exactly the same.

While he was thinking, the landing capsule had entered the orbit of the space station. This was the first step in entering Earth No. 3.

Faxuan City is the political and administrative center of Earth No. 3, and its status in this civilization is similar to that of the Earth Federation Building.

The only way to enter is to go through the space station approval process. If the spacecraft is driven directly towards Faxuan City, the defense satellite will probably be activated in the next second and it will be eliminated as an invader.

"This is your entry permit. Please keep your document, Mr. Bai Bing."

The receptionist handed a printed voucher to Lin Xuan and bowed to him respectfully.

"Have a nice trip, and I wish you a pleasant journey in Faxuan City."

"Thank you."

After getting on the elevator to the ground, Lin Xuan finally had time to check the documents handed to her by the other party.

Gu Chen helped him get a legal identity on Earth No. 3, and it seemed that he had a prominent background.

"Second-level researcher of the divine domain neural network."

After quickly searching the information in his mind, Lin Xuan soon learned the relevant information about this divine realm.

Although Earth No. 3 has freedom of religion, it is not a state of anarchy. However, their government is composed of three parts.

The divine realm is in charge of the military and scientific research of this civilization.

"Level 2 researchers are not uncommon in God's Domain, but those as young as him are rare. No wonder the receptionist was so polite to me just now. It makes sense."

His first task now is to report to his workstation.

That’s right, it’s impossible for No. 3 to arrange a sinecure for him out of thin air. If that were the case, the intention would be too obvious.

Since he was able to let Bai Bing act as a spy, there was no guarantee that the other two civilizations would also plant spies inside Earth No. 3.

If there is such a person in the divine realm who holds a position but never appears in the public eye, you can easily tell that there is definitely something wrong with this person.

Fortunately, in order to prevent work from taking up too much of Lin Xuan's time, No. 3 assigned him a job that was a sinecure.

Of course, a sinecure also means not having much real power. How everything will eventually develop depends on Lin Xuan's own abilities.

The office of Shenyu is located in the center of Faxuan City. As one of the three government departments, it is natural that it has to be fully equipped.

When Lin Xuan saw the spherical high-rise building in the city center, he was deeply shocked even though he had seen many big scenes.

The entire office building looks like a pair of hands holding up a glowing sphere. The surface of the sphere is constantly rotating, and each floor inside is filled with office areas.

"This type of facility should be equipped with equipment to resist centrifugal force. Otherwise, you'll be thrown out just by standing inside and turning around twice."

Lin Xuan didn't know what the original intention of these people was in designing this facility, but it always gave him the feeling of taking off his pants and farting.

After swiping her card and going upstairs, Lin Xuan soon arrived at her office area, which was located on the 23rd floor of Divine Realm. Someone had been waiting here for a long time.

"You must be the newly transferred Bai Bing, right? I'm Qiao Yajie, the technical director of Shenyu, and also your immediate superior in the future. Please give me your guidance in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan looked up and down at the man in front of her.

The other person looked only a few years older than himself. Of course, this was just an appearance. After all, according to his real age, Lin Xuan might have lived longer than the primitive people on this planet.

"Bai Bing."

The two shook hands. Qiao Yajie was just about to introduce his work content to Lin Xuan when an alarm suddenly sounded not far away, forcing their conversation to end.

"what happened?"

Qiao Yajie cast an inquiring look over there, and after a flurry of activity, someone finally came trotting over to report the situation to him.

"Boss, our central control satellite has been hacked again, and the fleet has lost its vision!"

"Damn it!"

Qiao Yajie seemed to be accustomed to this situation. He waved his hand and signaled the other party to continue with his work.

Then, he looked at Lin Xuan with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. The fighting on the front line has been intense these days, and our central control satellite has been hacked by the enemy."

“Didn’t you build a firewall?”

Lin Xuan was a little shocked. The central control satellite is used to coordinate and dispatch defense facilities. It is equivalent to being the eyes of near-air defense.

If this thing is hacked, you won't be able to fight back even if the enemy's infiltrating troops drive their ships right in front of your defense line.

Shouldn't such an important facility have the highest level of protection?

No matter how you look at Qiao Yajie's reaction, it seems like it's a common occurrence.

How many times have you been hacked?

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yajie couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.

“Why is it not built, but…”

Qiao Yajie didn't say anything, but just clicked on a document. On it was a list of models of various defense facilities. Just by looking at the catalog, Lin Xuan saw more than a hundred types.

"Okay, I get it!"

He almost forgot that Earth No. 3 was a mess. There were so many types of defense facilities that the central control satellite would take a long time to identify them.

It really is a headache for both the enemy and teammates.

"Let me try it."

Lin Xuan only thought for a moment and was ready to show off his skills to these people. He had just arrived in the Divine Realm and could not just do nothing. If he wanted to gain real power here, he didn't know how long it would take. If everything that No. 3 said was true, then time was very precious to him now.

"you?"

Qiao Yajie was stunned, obviously not expecting Lin Xuan to take on this job.

"Bai Bing, this job is not something you can do alone. We lack sufficient computing power right now. Even if you were to join us, the computing power wouldn't increase much."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"I know, so I just said I would give it a try. If the computing power is not enough, it would be a good thing to have one more person, right?"
