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

Inflation is severe now. A bowl of Chongqing noodles weighing 200 grams costs 30 or 40 yuan. Money has long become worthless.

But Lin Xuan on the side touched it.

"Why do I always feel something is wrong? Logically it shouldn't be that cheap."

"What's wrong with that? Since he dares to write it, I dare to buy it." Luo Congmin directly pressed the payment button.

The next second, the big screen went black, and then lines of words slowly appeared on the screen.

"The river is red, Yue Fei."

"My hair is standing on end with anger. I lean on the railing and the rain stops. I look up and howl to the sky, my heart is filled with passion..."

Luo Congmin: ???

The two were stunned.

Wow, I thought you were "Man Jiang Hong", who would have thought that you actually are "Man Jiang Hong".

“Is this… considered telecommunications fraud?”

"Never mind. What else do you want to see for 6.9 yuan? Don't worry about other things. Just tell me whether it is Man Jiang Hong or not."

……

In June, Luo Congmin finished his college entrance examination with a score of 657.

She took the new college entrance examination and scored almost full marks in all subjects except mathematics. If Ding Yi had not been tutoring Luo Congmin in mathematics when she was a child, she would have failed this time.

Lin Xuan said that fortunately Luo Ji had learned from his previous experience and did not transfer his daughter's household registration information to the four provinces of Shanxi. Otherwise, even with this score, it would be difficult for this girl to get into a 985 university.

This is mainly due to the overall environment.

Now is the era of crisis, a time when mankind is fully committed to developing science and technology.

The phenomenon of "focusing on science and neglecting literature" has almost become a universal phenomenon in society.

Many universities have chosen to reduce or stop recruiting liberal arts majors, which has directly led to the difficulty of the college entrance examination for liberal arts students being several times greater than that for science students.

But not everyone can understand science, so they can only continue to stay in the ocean of liberal arts.

Everyone is taking the exam. Those who choose liberal arts majors are sending their scores to the sky, and they are vying for the last few spots.

As a result, the score differences between provinces became increasingly outrageous, and there was even a magical situation where a Henan student studying the same major and sharing the same dormitory scored twice as much as others.

The school that Luo Congmin most wants to go to is Lin Xuan’s alma mater, the University of Science and Technology of China.

But there is a very serious problem. The University of Science and Technology of China mainly trains masters and doctoral students. There are not many undergraduate majors, and most of them are related to science, engineering, chemistry, agriculture, materials, and medicine. There are very few liberal arts majors.

So Lin Xuan went to see Principal Liu Chang alone.

"What the hell, a separate liberal arts major for her?"

When Liu Chang heard Lin Xuan's words, he was stunned.

"I asked you to treat the school as your home. Do you really treat the school as your own home? Because it is absolutely unprecedented for one person to open a new major."

"Moreover, I don't think that liberal arts majors can provide any substantial help to the current Three-Body Crisis. Offering them is a sheer waste of resources. Many students' families can barely afford food. Do you still expect them to think about the future?"

Lin Xuan seemed to have known that Liu Chang would say this. After the old man Liu Chang finished speaking, he began his own way of deceiving people.

"Principal Liu, let me do some calculations with you. Do you need money to do scientific research?"

"Yes."

“Where does the money come from?”

“It’s the project fund given by the PDC.”

"Does the PDC also have to pay for the Wall-Facing Project?"

"correct."

"Then is Luo Ji a wall-facer? As his daughter, can Luo Congmin also mobilize some of the resources that PDC gives to Luo Ji? If she goes to your school... no, our school, then we will have money."

"Think about it carefully, Principal Liu. This girl is your cash cow. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever."

Liu Chang was silent.

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed... that was indeed the case.

Chapter 99 The Sixth Thought Stamping Machine

The relationship between politics, economy and culture has always been tied together.

The economic base determines the superstructure. The collapse of humanity’s economic system has not only affected the education industry, but has also caused serious political problems.

The original three-seat system of the Asian Fleet was quite convenient in decision-making, and the other two fleets also wanted to emulate this decision-making method.

As a result, the economies of the member states of the European Fleet collapsed, causing no one to trust anyone else internally, let alone allow others to become the three representatives with decision-making power.

At the beginning, the European fleet was decided by a tripartite parliamentary system consisting of the Republic of Germany, the British Empire and Gaul.

Later, it became a government of 12 countries.

Sometimes, even the discussion of what cuisine the space force should eat next month would take three or four days.

"Why should you be responsible for the supply? Do you people in the British Empire know what eating is? The British Empire is simply a food desert in Europe."

"You are talking nonsense. The top ten restaurants in the world are all in London."

"Well said, what do they do?"

“French food.”

……

In the end, there were as many as 18 ruling countries in the European fleet. In the British Empire alone, there were four ruling countries: representatives from England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

On the North American fleet side, the United States also agreed to the resolution of allocating more representatives to govern the fleet. Just when the North American countries thought they could get a piece of the pie, the United States' implementation plan stunned the whole world.

"After discussion, we decided to add five new ruling representatives to the North American Fleet. They are the United States Republican Representative, United States Democratic Representative, United States Social Representative, United States Workers Representative, and Greenland Representative."

When this decision was announced, the PDC countries almost burst out laughing.

"That's amazing! He could have chosen to take them all, but he was kind enough to give us a position as the Greenland representative." The Danish representative said speechlessly.

How many people are there in Greenland?

Moreover, the representative position was not given to the whole of Denmark, but only to Greenland. The meaning is very clear: he wants to dominate the market alone.

"You should be thankful bro, maybe he didn't even want to give you Greenland, maybe that's just because they have one less Green Party member."

The Green Party is one of the representatives of the United States. Their proposition is to protect the natural environment and they believe that ecology should be the priority.

Originally, they had a certain status in the United States, but since the beginning of the crisis era, all proposals for protecting the environment have been labeled as "traitors" and "ETOs", so these people who advocate environmental protection naturally no longer exist.

The actions of the North American and European fleets caused the Asian fleet to begin to stir.

Argentina was the first to propose changing the three-seat system to a four-seat system, allowing itself to become one of the ruling countries of the Asian fleet.

Then, in the first round of voting, Russia opposed, the island country opposed, and China agreed.

Asanguo was not satisfied and started to apply for the second time.

Then in the second round, the island country opposed, China opposed, and the Russian bear agreed.

Although Asan realized that something was not right, he still stubbornly submitted his third application.

As expected: in the third round, Russia opposed, China opposed, and the island country agreed.

After three rounds of voting, the angry Ah San directly reported the issue of the three seats to the PDC, demanding the cancellation of the three seats of the Russian Bear in the Asian Fleet and the PDC's veto power, on the grounds that the Russian Bear should be assigned to the European Fleet instead of bullying the Asian Fleet.

In the end, Asan's proposal to abolish the Russian bear's veto power was vetoed by the Russian bear's representative.

The international situation is chaotic and complicated, but Lin Xuan is as steady as an old dog.

He didn't care too much about these things.

The Mirror Project, the Moon Base Project and the Van Gogh Project are all being carried out simultaneously.

He had gone to the underground of Luo City to take a look at Wei Cheng before. This guy’s construction speed was much faster than he had imagined. It was estimated that in another seven or eight years, the underground city of Luo City would be successfully built.

This is about three or four years faster than the construction of the underground cities in London and New York, and as the construction difficulty increases in the later stages, the speed difference will become larger and larger.

"Can you slow down a bit?"

When Lin Xuan made this request, Wei Chengdu was stunned.

He scratched his messy hair, not quite understanding.

"Why slow down? Shouldn't it be built as quickly as possible?"

"I have my own plans, just tell me whether you can do it." Lin Xuan said.

Wei Cheng shook his head.

"This is difficult. With the improvement of our technology, the construction of the underground city is estimated to be completed in less than 5 years. In addition, I have already drawn all the design drawings. Now the construction team only needs to complete the project according to the parts marked on the drawings."

"With sufficient materials and funds, it would be very difficult to slow down the construction unless you personally slow down the construction."

Lin Xuan shook her head.

This method is definitely not advisable. If you actively slow down the construction speed, your intention will be too obvious and anyone can tell that there is something wrong with it.

"Since we can't suppress the construction speed here, can you, Wei Cheng, increase the speed of the mirror projects in the other two cities?"

"This...is not difficult."

Wei Cheng also roughly guessed what Lin Xuan meant.

"You want me to complete these three mirror projects at the same time, right?"

Lin Xuan nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means."

"It's not difficult. I'll try my best, but the completion dates of the three underground cities will definitely deviate a little. The deviation I can guarantee you is within one month." Wei Chengdao.

"That's enough. Don't even mention a month. Even a deviation of less than a year is fine!"

Wei Cheng's answer made Lin Xuan overjoyed. You know, it is almost impossible for one person to synchronize the completion dates of three projects.

After all, there are too many factors that lead to inconsistencies in construction schedules. It is very likely that an accident will cause the construction schedule that has been synchronized with great difficulty to deviate.

But Lin Xuan believed that with Wei Cheng's ability, he could definitely do it.

Just when Lin Xuan was paying close attention to the construction of the underground city, a piece of news released by PDC once again ignited public opinion in the entire human society.

"The sixth thought stamping machine that had been hidden for a long time has been found!"

The sixth thought stamp machine was found in Modu. Judging from the code results, this machine has been running non-stop all these years.

This means that the number of Steel Seals lurking in the Space Force is far greater than imagined.

Also arrested was Duan Yan, the student who had received the ideological stamp from Zhang Beihai.

Instead of implanting a thought stamp into his brain, Hines directly gave him a thought stamp machine.

After converting them into the Steel Seal Clan, Duan Yan has been committed to expanding the size of the Steel Seal Clan over the years, gradually allowing this clan to spread all over the world and in the three major fleets.

As for how this guy was found, it's a bit bizarre. A driver was using the navigation system to automatically drive his vehicle, but the navigation suddenly lost control and the driver and the vehicle rushed into an abandoned garage.

The driver then called the police, and when the police arrived, they found the thought stamping machine hidden in an abandoned warehouse.

It seemed like an accident, but only Lin Xuan knew that it was Chieko's doing.

It is very likely that Tomoko tampered with his vision, causing his sight to recognize the wrong road information, which is easy for him, and then faked it into a traffic accident, making everything look like an accident.

Just like when Luo Ji was assassinated, on the same day, there were about 300 similar traffic accidents caused by navigation failures around the world, and the car owners all said that it was the navigation prompts that told them to go that way.

The Trisolarans are afraid that humans will develop escapism. They are not at all indifferent to the thought stamping machine as previously stated.

But this point cannot be stated explicitly, just like the law of the Dark Forest.

The fugitives might expose the coordinates of the two civilizations and attract the Dark Forest's attack.

Once humans know what they fear, it will expose their greatest weakness.

So Tomoko knew the exact location of the thought stamper from the beginning, but unfortunately she couldn't give this information directly to the PDC. Regardless of whether the PDC believed it or not, just exposing her own intentions was quite stupid.

What’s even more helpless is that the entire ETO was wiped out by Lin Xuan.

The Trisolarans suddenly discovered that they had no more humans to use on Earth, and it seemed too late to train a new ETO organization.

"Damn Lin Xuan, if it weren't for him, ETO wouldn't have been completely wiped out."
