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

"I need to retrieve a record of Hubble II's observation data."

The Hubble II telescope allowed General Fitzroy to observe the Trisolaran fleet passing through the first interstellar dust cloud for the first time, and confirmed the fact of the Trisolaran invasion, opening the Age of Crisis.

People compared the Three-Body Fleet's movement through the interstellar dust cloud to a "brush in the fog."

Luo Ji followed what Lin Xuan said and asked PDC for something right away. However, his request was not excessive and it did not even consume any resources.

"Okay. After the meeting, go ask General Fitzroy. He's the person in charge of Hubble II."

"Wallfacer Luo Ji, do you have anything else to say?"

"Nothing."

Soon, it was Lin Xuan's turn to speak.

Without saying a word, Lin Xuan directly exchanged a bag of wheat seeds from the system and threw it in front of the stage.

To be honest, he hadn't used the system for so long that he almost forgot he even had it.

"Well, I've solved the food problem as I promised you before."

Everyone looked at the wheat seeds thrown by Lin Xuan and was immediately confused.

"What is this?" the representative of the Italian country asked first.

"It's a variant of wheat. I modified its genetic sequence. This type of wheat only grows for a week and only produces ears of wheat, not stalks. The yield is about four to five times that of the original variety. You can cultivate it and it should be able to alleviate the problem of food shortage."

Everyone was stunned by Lin Xuan's words.

"The growing season is only one week?"

"Four or five times the output?"

"It produces ears of wheat, but not stalks?"

"Are you sure this isn't something that only exists in the science fiction world?"

How can this improve production efficiency? It's directly changing the definition of wheat itself, right?

"Shock value from the Chinese representative +50."

"Shock value from the Eagle Sauce representative +50."

"Shock value from General Fitzroy +50."

……

"Believe it or not, you can just take it home and plant it and you'll know. Anyway, it should bear fruit in about a week."

Lin Xuan was too lazy to explain to them that she bought this thing from the system, and she couldn't explain clearly how she did it. If she said too much, she would be exposed.

In the Three-Body Game, the ETO members who were using Sophon to spy on the entire conference room were even more confused.

"No... When did this guy come up with this thing?"

"I don't know. I've never seen him do any experiments."

"Damn it, the dream world this guy invented is so annoying. Tomoko can't even spy on the dreams in people's brains. God knows what he's doing in there?"

"Next time I have a chance, I must find a way to enter that Mewtwo world."

……

After the meeting, Lin Xuan returned to the Hong'an Third Base and threw a bag of wheat that he had displayed at the conference to Liu Chang.

"Can you do reverse engineering and restore the principles and steps of this thing?"

When Liu Chang heard Lin Xuan's description of the wheat, his eyes twitched.

"Do you think it's possible? With such a large yield and such a fast growth rate, and you want only ears of wheat, you really are a very bold person and a very productive land."

"I believe you can figure it out, Principal Liu."

"Where did you get this?"

"Trisolaran, have you forgotten what the ETO said about me? I am the third leader of the ETO. It is not too much for my holy Lord to transfer some technology to me, right?"

Liu Chang curled his lips, and seeing that Lin Xuan didn't want to talk, he didn't ask and buried the matter deep in his heart.

"You are the only one who believes in ghosts."

As mentioned before, Lin Xuan is like a student who knows the answer to the question but not the process steps.

He now gave the questions and answers to Liu Chang, and asked Liu Chang to reversely deduce the entire process of solving the problem.

Lin Xuan didn’t know whether Liu Chang could decipher this thing.

But the next day after he went to see Liu Chang, he received a warning to withdraw from the University of Science and Technology of China.

Lin Xuan took a look and threw the warning notice away.

"Persuade him to drop out of school? Sorry, I won't listen to your advice."

Chapter 56 Luo Ji

After more than a year, Liu Chang's cloning technology has basically taken shape, but this is still far from mastering gene editing technology.

"What are your needs for these clones? I need to know what these things I'm researching will be used for."

Liu Chang pointed to a large group of experimental subjects filled with nutrient solution in the distance. They looked exactly the same and should have been bred using the same set of genes.

"You used your own?"

Lin Xuan was a little curious.

I can’t believe it, but Principal Liu is more productive than young people!

"Get lost, stop smiling at me here."

Liu Chang took a piece of white paper from the table beside him.

"I don't know what you're going to do with these clones, so I've designed a few plans. You can take a look at them all."

"For the first version of the plan, I want to try to improve their mental computing ability. The method is simple and crude, even a little unethical. I will perform special processing on their brains. These people will have extremely high talents in mathematical analysis, astrophysics, mechanical engineering, and chemical manufacturing."

"I originally wanted to improve their humanistic thinking, but I found that this was difficult. A person's humanistic thinking and artistic talent depend on too many factors, including family environment, social recognition, and personal experience. It is impossible to achieve this simply by relying on cloning technology."

Liu Chang let out a long breath.

"That's good. At least it proves one thing: artificial intelligence cannot replace human consciousness. However, I may never have the chance to publish the research results of this topic in Nature."

"The second type is used purely for combat. This type of clone is the easiest to make. All you have to do is keep improving its physical fitness."

"The third type is service-type clones. I'm actually a little helpless about this because you know my aesthetics can't keep up with you young people. If you make the third version, you have to provide me with a reference target, or help me get her or his genetic sample."

Lin Xuan was quite satisfied after listening to Liu Chang's introduction.

"Except for the third one, I can use the first two."

"I thought you were going to say only the third one."

Lin Xuan was speechless.

"When do you want it? You must give me an exact time."

"why?"

Lin Xuan was a little confused.

"Because of the laws of nature."

Liu Chang threw the paper and pen in his hand aside.

"That's really great. Do you know what I have been doing for the past year? I have been trying to make these clones have the same lifespan as normal people, but without exception, I have failed."

"At first I thought my technology was not advanced enough, so I consulted many other biological experts, but the results were all the same. It was like an unbreakable sophon blockade."

Liu Chang made a circle with his hands.

"Just like the sophon has blocked our physics, nature has also placed certain restrictions on this technology. I used to think that respecting nature was just empty talk, but now I see how insignificant humans are in the face of the laws of nature."

"So what is the maximum lifespan of these clones?"

Lin Xuan only cares about this issue.

"If they don't randomly add those weird gene sequences, their lifespan can reach up to fifty years. Of course, this is just my simulation using the Mewtwo World, so it may be longer in reality."

"What's the shortest?"

"If you need, I can strengthen them to the limit of one year's lifespan. That is to say, I can cultivate a group of clones who will die in one year, but their biological characteristics will be much better than humans."

Lin Xuan smiled.

“This is what I wanted.”

"Please help me breed some first-version clones first. I want to try to see if they are really as useful as you said."

Lin Xuan was not in a hurry for Liu Chang to start the experiment right away. He gave Principal Liu a one-month long vacation.

Carrying out this extremely inhumane experiment for a long time must have had a huge impact on him psychologically, and he needs some time to recover.

During this period, Luo Ji stayed at the Hubble II Observatory.

……

"What are you looking for?" Fitzroy asked Luo Ji. He had been here for more than ten days, observing the universe with Hubble II every day.

But in the eyes of everyone, the observed data was nothing but a dark starry sky.

"I don't know, but I think I'm about to find it."

Luo Ji felt like his head was about to explode. He kept adjusting the observation direction of Hubble II, trying to find the answer in his heart.

"Soon!"

He told himself that a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step, but the final push blocked him outside the door.

"what is it?"

Luo Ji kept recalling Ye Wenjie's words.

“Survival is the first necessity of civilization.”

“Civilization continues to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains constant.”

The tips in these two sentences are too simple, and I can't get any useful knowledge from them.

“Don’t underestimate simplicity. Simplicity means solidity. The entire mathematical edifice is based on axioms that are so simple that they cannot be simpler, but logically solid as a rock.”

Lin Xuan's voice suddenly came from behind Luo Ji.

Luo Ji didn't know when Lin Xuan came, it was as if he had been standing there all the time.

"Want to go out for a walk?"

Lin Xuan took the initiative to invite Luo Ji, who nodded slightly.

The winter chill quickly enveloped the two's bodies. It was now night, and darkness spread around them like fog.

Luo Ji followed Lin Xuan and walked forward. He didn't know where this man was going, nor did he know why he was following him.

It was as if the other person was his guide in the darkness, pointing the way ahead.

"Have you thought of anything?"

Lin Xuan suddenly stopped, and Luo Ji noticed that they were now standing on a layer of ice, with frozen lake water beneath their feet.

"No."

Luo Ji shook his head.

"I know the general direction, but it's much harder than I thought."

"Darwin summarized a simple law through the universe of life, [Survival of the fittest]. Now I already know the law, but I want to use it to restore the image of the entire universe civilization. This is a path opposite to his, but it is much more difficult than his."

Lin Xuan smiled. Luo Ji had seen that kind of smile before. It was the smile a teacher gave to his students.

He seemed to be saying again.

"Think again, you're almost right!"

Luo Ji began to reorganize his thoughts.

The two mysterious concepts that Ye Wenjie had not explained began to become clear.

“Chain of suspicion and technological explosion.”
