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

"Fake!"

"Shock value from Himoseus +66!"

Himoses was silent.

No buddy, you are sick!

I'm almost dying, and you still have the mood to play tricks on me?

Not only Himoses, but the other members of Team 13 were also a little overwhelmed by Lin Xuan's words.

At this moment, an idea popped up in their minds almost at the same time.

You must never offend your captain in the future. This is too sinister!

But just like before, Lin Xuan had his reasons for doing this, and it was definitely not just for the sake of increasing the shock value from the other party.

It is not difficult to know from the information given by No. 3 that most of the people in this extremist organization have been almost brainwashed, and have even become so crazy that they are unable to communicate at all.

Lin Xuan did this just to find out whether this guy was really not afraid of death or just pretending. If he had been brainwashed to the point where he was no longer afraid of death, then he would most likely kill the other person without hesitation.

Since the other party is still afraid of death, there is at least room for both sides to continue negotiations.

Lin Xuan took out a shot of immortality potion from his pocket and injected it into Himoseus's butt.

"what!"

Himoses, who had been lying on the ground dying a second ago, sat up from the ground in so much pain after being pricked by Lin Xuan.

"Hold on, this medicine is a bit expired. I don't know how much of its efficacy is left. I can only give you an injection!"

When Himoses heard this, his face, which had already turned pale due to the pain, turned even paler in an instant.

"Expired? How long has it been expired?"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but think for a while.

"It's probably... a few hundred years. I exchanged this thing during the Crisis Era, so I don't know how long it will last. But I think so much time has passed, so it should have expired anyway."

"How many?"

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Himoses' face turned green.

Although he didn't know what the Crisis Era was, he felt a chill in his heart when he heard the other party say that it had expired by at least several hundred years.

How can this be an expired product? Why don’t you just say it’s an antique?

Seeing that Himoses's face looked uglier than if he had eaten a fly, Lin Xuan smiled and comforted him.

"It's okay. You're going to die anyway. Even if the medicine is really expired and has any side effects, it won't affect you, right?"

Himoses: ???

You know how to comfort people!

"Okay, don't waste our time. I'm just going to ask you a question and then we'll leave."

"What caused this riot?"

The gangsters said before that the riot was caused by Enwan Technology's plan to send everyone on the planet as prisoners. This obviously didn't make sense. Now they have figured out who instigated the riot, but they still don't know the specific reasons for the riot.

It seemed that he was afraid that Lin Xuan would continue to torture him with all kinds of weird methods, and also for the sake of his physical and mental health not being destroyed by this guy, so this time he answered quite straightforwardly.

"Enwan Technology has dispatched a special force of cyber hackers to support the fight against Psychic Earth."

Lin Xuan was a little confused.

"So what does this have to do with you?"

Hearing this, Himoses looked at Lin Xuan and his tone became a little heavy.

"Most of Enwan Technology's cyber hacker forces are made up of kids around twelve or thirteen years old. Sending these kids to the battlefield is simply insane. We must stop them no matter what!"

Lin Xuan spread his hands and looked at the charred buildings around him.

"So your way of stopping them is to wreak havoc in the city?"

Hearing this, Himoses was speechless for a moment.

"These destructions were not the original intention of Xinghuo. Someone took advantage of the riots to smash, loot and burn in the streets. Even Enwan Technology's own troops attacked the residents in the city."

"In other words, you are being used as a gun?"

Himoses did not comment.

"It's hard for me to say. In order to develop, the Xinghuo underground party absorbed a lot of idle people into the party group. Although the size of the underground party has expanded, it is mixed with good and bad people. If you want to say that this riot has nothing to do with us, that's impossible. I can only say that the current result is absolutely contrary to our original intention."

When Lin Xuan heard this, a rare gentle smile appeared on her face.

"In fact, you just lack a leader."

He reached out and pulled Himoses up from the ground.

"From today on, we are comrades!"

The effect of the immortality potion took effect quickly, and the wounds on Himoses' body were healing little by little.

Sure enough, anything produced by the system must be of high quality. Even though hundreds of years have passed, the immortality potion can still play its due role.

"My name is Bai Bing. If you find it troublesome, you can call me Captain Bai like them."

Himoses didn't say anything, but compared to before, he was not as resistant to Lin Xuan and his group.

Hearing Team White directly introduce themselves, Lynch on the side had some concerns and wanted to give them a reminder, but was stopped by a look from the veteran next to him, who signaled him not to stop them.

Lynch understood the old soldier's look.

Team White has his reasons for doing what he does, and we just need to give him unconditional support behind the scenes.

After Himoses' wounds were almost healed, they set out again and continued heading towards the city center.

This time, with Himoses leading the way, even nanorobots are not needed.

"You seem to be very familiar with this city."

"Of course, I've lived here for almost seven or eight years."

"In the earliest days, when I was about four or five years old, I didn't live on this planet. At that time, the place where we lived was only about two or three planets away from the central star."

"Because of this, the officials were kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the poor cry. At that time, Enwan Technology was willing to distribute houses to poor people like us. Although the houses we were allocated were some shabby old buildings, they were still a place to live."

"But later, the war became increasingly fierce, and border planets like Revelation 3 also needed to be continuously populated, so this place became the final destination for all of us."

When Himoses said this, his expression gradually became complicated.

"Weren't you just curious about why Gene Earth had long since cut off its financial assistance to Earth Fire, but this underground party still exists?"

"That's because the emergence of Spark itself is the choice of the times."

"In the eyes of others, we are a group of terrorists, and Xinghuo is also an extremist organization. However, only we know that what we are doing is a war between the grassroots people and this damn capitalist society!"

"As long as the company exists and the end product exists, the spark will always exist."

As they were talking, the team had already arrived at the city center, which was the limit of what ordinary people could reach.

If you go further, you will enter the rich area, which requires not only paying a huge fee but also passing a capital verification.

Unlike the expected chaos, the riots here have been suppressed.

On the streets, densely packed anti-explosion troops were clearing the remaining Spark members along the streets.

Teams of armed mechanical guards blocked the roads tightly.

But these are not the most important things. What really made Lin Xuan and others stop and watch is the Enwan Building located in the city center in the distance!

At this time, above the Enwan Building, the holographic projection billboard was still scrolling. The building was still as magnificent as ever, the most prosperous building in the city. Its existence did not seem to have changed at all because of the riots below.

When Lin Xuan and others looked over, the billboard of Enwan Building projected a smiling face.

There was a hint of sarcasm in that smile, and it was directed at the Spark members who were subdued by the explosion-proof team below, as if mocking these ants for overestimating their own capabilities.

No matter how hard Xinghuo tries, giant companies will always exist. Even if Enwan Technology falls, there will be new capitalists to take its place.

As long as the final product remains alive, this cycle will never be broken.

"Let's go."

Lin Xuan knew that there was no need to stay here any longer, and the outcome of the riot was completely within his expectations.

"Take us to where you live. There should be more people from Starfire than just these, right?"

This time, Himoses did not refuse.

The overall planning of this city is very interesting. The closer to the city center, the higher the terrain.

On the contrary, the suburbs of the city have lower terrain.

The reason for this design is mainly due to the city's sewage system.

The sanitary environment in the wealthy areas is the best in the entire city. The streets alone have to be cleaned three or four times a day. Even at the most strict times, if someone throws garbage on the ground, the garbage must be cleaned up within five minutes.

But this puts a lot of pressure on municipal sewage discharge, and many garbage treatment plants and sewage treatment plants are needed to meet the daily needs of the rich.

Naturally, these factories cannot be built in wealthy areas.

Almost 90 percent of the city’s factories and processing plants are concentrated in the slums.

The government even claims that this is providing more jobs for these poor people.

Chapter 297 Wei Cheng's Choice

Solar System: Ringworld.

"This should be the last piece of the puzzle. Once Mercury is dismantled, the second phase of the Ring World construction will be completely completed."

Wang Miao looked at the analysis results on the drawing and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Wei Cheng standing by also stopped turning the pen with his fingertips and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"After decades of development, the Ringworld Project is finally coming to an end."

This is good news for everyone.

At that time, many people in the Earth Federation opposed the construction of the ring world, and they even encountered a guided attack by the Trisolarans. However, the Engineering Department still built this thing despite the risk of the Dark Forest attack that could come at any time.

"The gravity index of all space cities is normal. We expect to start extracting minerals from Mercury next month."

"The Engineering Department has already given the Space City a clear plan for moving in response to the gravity changes during the Mercury extraction. Now we need the signatures of the various city halls to start the extraction work."

To build a ring world, it is necessary to dismantle all the planets in the solar system except the Earth. The specific engineering process is just like performing dental correction in medical aesthetics.

First, demolish a planet, then calculate the gravitational impact based on the degree of damage, and then move the space city to the designated location while excavating the planet to prevent the space city from colliding due to gravity deflection after the planet disappears.

This sounds simple, but in fact every step is like dancing on a tightrope. If there is a slight deviation, hundreds of thousands of people will die.

Fortunately, thanks to Wei Cheng and Wang Miao's hard work in the engineering department, this feat was accomplished.

Such a large project is unprecedented in the entire human history.

"What are your plans next?" Wei Cheng turned and looked at Wang Miao beside him.

"What are your plans?"

"After the Ring World project is finished, the Engineering Department probably won't need us for a while, right? By then, do you really plan to stay in the Engineering Department and retire like Mr. Ding?"

Wang Miao had not stopped working. When he heard Wei Cheng's question, he was silent for a while before speaking.

"A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. As long as the Ring World project is still one day away from completion, it would be premature for us to say this."

"We have to think about the future. The help we can provide to Lin Xuan is getting less and less. Instead of continuing in this position, we might as well do something more meaningful."

As Wei Cheng spoke, he placed a paper invitation on the table and tapped it with his fingers.

"The paper invitation sent by Ai AA. To be honest, the last time I saw this thing was at my classmate's wedding. I didn't expect this woman to be so sentimental."

"The invitation method of the old times is just right to invite you, a person from the old times."

Wang Miao joked with a smile, but he felt unhappy inside.

He was not surprised that Ai AA would recruit Wei Cheng. As one of the important backbones of the engineering department, Wei Cheng was also one of the few old men who had followed Lin Xuan through battles from the Crisis Era to the present.

In terms of comprehensive scientific research capabilities, Wei Cheng is not the strongest in the engineering department, but he is at an upper-middle level. If the Star Ring Group can poach him, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, and its comprehensive strength will be taken to a higher level.

Therefore, Wang Miao thought it was normal for Ai AA to extend an olive branch to Wei Cheng, because he had received similar invitations before, but he ignored them.
