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

Moreover, Cheng Xin cannot die because she is a microcosm of the human group. Even if he gets rid of Cheng Xin, there will be another Cheng Xin. It would be better to keep her.

It is better to guide than to block. Instead of getting rid of her now and letting the next Cheng Xin hide in the crowd like a time bomb, it is better to control the current human saint. This was also Lin Xuan's original idea.

"what?"

Just as Lin Xuan was flying, he suddenly felt something flying towards him from a distance. There was no need to guess, it was most likely the water droplets from the Trisolarans.

The water drop was moving at an extremely fast speed, like a bullet shooting towards Lin Xuan, but in the end, it stopped less than one meter away from Lin Xuan.

It wasn't that it wanted to stop, but something was blocking it and Lin Xuan, pinning it firmly in mid-air.

Nanobots!

The moment the water droplets attacked Lin Xuan, countless nanorobots formed a shield, blocking the water droplets' path!

The water drops, which have always been indestructible, were defeated by these nanorobots.

After it realized that it could not penetrate the opponent's shield, it wanted to turn around and leave.

"You've got a detector here to test me. You really don't take me seriously, do you?"

Lin Xuan sneered and pointed his finger in the air. The nanorobots that had turned into shields quickly wrapped around the water droplets and began to dismember them.

The surface of a water droplet is absolutely smooth, and every atom is nailed down by the strong interaction force like a guard of honor. With the current level of human technology, it is impossible to break through its defense.

But it is not unsolvable in itself. The strength of a water droplet does not come from the hardness of its material, but from a special force field that is constantly released from its interior. As long as the device inside is destroyed, the water droplet is just ordinary metal.

Just like in the original book, when the water droplets were destroyed after entering the four-dimensional space, as long as the force field device inside them is solved, this thing will lose any threat.

It is easier said than done, but it is quite difficult to do. At least with the current level of human technology, it is impossible to achieve such an operation of hitting the target from a distance.

Under Lin Xuan's control, the nanorobots wrapped around the water droplets began to heat up rapidly and continuously released high pressure to the water droplets, accelerating their basic particles to near the speed of light.

It’s like Lin Xuan has set up hundreds of millions of particle accelerators around the water droplets, and each nanorobot is a particle accelerator.

Soon, the strong interaction force continuously released by the water droplets showed a flaw, and the nanorobots seized the gap in the strong interaction force and quickly released an EMP electromagnetic pulse to the interior of the water droplets.

In an instant, the force field module used by the water droplet to release the strong interaction force was paralyzed. Without the protection of the strong interaction force, the outer metal shell of the water droplet was vaporized in the blink of an eye under the high temperature heating of the nanorobot and dissipated into the air.

Previously, water droplets reflected almost all frequencies of electromagnetic waves, but if you wanted to destroy the internal modules, you had to use electromagnetic wave weapons. This was where the water droplets were truly unsolvable.

The only weapon that can kill gods can only be obtained after defeating gods. It is no wonder that in the original plot, water droplets can only be destroyed in the fourth dimension.

No matter what, the Three-Body Problem is still just a second-level civilization with a distorted technology tree. The things they can produce are limited. What's more, the water droplet is just a detector for them, so solving the problem is not as difficult as imagined.

The really difficult one to deal with is the sophon. It may require Wang Miao to upgrade the nanorobot into a proton robot before it can be destroyed beyond two dimensions.

After seeing Lin Xuan destroy the water droplets easily, the Trisolarans immediately stopped the four water drops attacking Lin Xuan.

Chieko began to project words into Lin Xuan's eyes.

"Observer, are you going to interfere in the war between us and humans?"

"What does it have to do with you whether I intervene or not?" Lin Xuan asked back.

"You took advantage of my hibernation and destroyed everything I built. You are so brave. Do you really think I dare not fight you?"

This time, the Trisolarans fell into a long silence.

They admitted that they had indeed become a little arrogant recently and even dared to provoke Lin Xuan. In the past, the usually cautious Trisolarans would never take such a risk.

But Lin Xuan's repeated assistance to mankind has made the Trisolarans feel a little anxious. Once they lose the habitable planet Earth, it will be very difficult to find the next habitable planet.

Therefore, this attack on Lin Xuan was completely desperate. By the way, they also wanted to see how much of the observer's true strength was left. After all, based on Lin Xuan's previous performance, the possibility of bluffing could not be ruled out.

The Trisolarans actually guessed correctly. Lin Xuan did have a period of power vacuum for about a few years, which was the time when he was in hibernation.

He had almost no trump cards in his hand, and even the system's inventory was cleared out by him, leaving less than 15 points of shock value.

At that time, if the Trisolarans had trained an ordinary person to assassinate the hibernating Lin Xuan, they might have succeeded directly.

But Lin Xuan bet that they wouldn't dare.

In fact, this is all thanks to the observer identity that the Trisolarans arranged for him. Until now, Lin Xuan doesn't even know what this identity is for.

But the Trisolarans were very afraid of it, so afraid that they only dared to do some small tricks secretly after they hibernated.

Sure enough, Chieko quickly gave the Trisolaran response.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, many of the things you built have been used by humans on Earth to deal with us. This is not in line with your behavior as an observer. We are also worried that you will violate the experimental guidelines, so we will help you destroy these things in advance."

"If you still need it, once we occupy the Earth, we will rebuild all the destroyed things for you."

When Lin Xuan heard this, she was immediately happy.

"You guys are really interesting. You have the guts to do it but not the guts to admit it. It seems like the Trisolarans have already acquired the initial ability to lie, but their deception techniques are really not that good."

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, she was immediately met with expressions of shock from the Three Body Archons.

The Trisolarian archons were a little confused. This lie took the 12 archons a long time to come up with. They even went to Yun Tianming to polish it several times.

In the end, Lin Xuan saw through it at a glance.

Sure enough, just as Yun Tianming said, learning the ability to deceive is not something that can be done overnight. The Trisolarans still have a long way to go if they want to truly become as good at deception as the people on Earth.

"It doesn't matter. I'm too lazy to pursue it. Since the humans on Earth have been defeated, shouldn't we discuss the colony negotiations?"

"Yes, we are waiting for you. We have also found several representatives from Earth before, but they are either stubborn and unwilling to surrender, or they are unable to convince all of humanity. After much thought, it seems that only you, as the representative of humanity, can complete the negotiations."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"Okay, you guys decide the location."

"The negotiation location is Daxing'anling in Inner Mongolia. You should know where it is."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly after hearing this.

"In the original plot, the location of Red Coast's first base was where Ye Wenjie first sent a message to the Trisolarans. The Trisolarans chose this place as the negotiation location, which seemed to have a deeper meaning."

Chapter 140 Curse: Dark Forest

"This is...an observation station!"

Luo Ji leaned on the glass, looking at the building in front of him, and was suddenly a little surprised.

"The Hubble Telescope Observatory is the fifth observatory built after you, Dad, went into hibernation. Its main function is to monitor the star 187J3X1." Luo Congmin said.

"Why is there no one here?" Luo Ji asked.

"After your status as a wall-facer was revoked, your wall-facing project was deemed meaningless by them, so only a few people were left here to continue the observation."

"Later, after they confirmed that the star 187J3X1 still existed, they completely lost interest in observing it. This is also the fundamental basis for them to tease you about being a charlatan."

When Ding Yi, who was standing by, heard this, he slammed the table in anger.

"This is nonsense. These people are just fooling around. When doing academic research, you must get to the bottom of things. They chose to give up observations before even getting the final results. This is simply a blasphemy of scientific experiments. What's the difference between this and those academic frauds who rely on quickly producing experimental results to get the position of professor."

Luo Ji: ???

"No, why do I always feel like you are making indirect accusations?"

"The final destination of the transport ship is here. Lin Xuan should want us to hide here for a while, but it's hard to say. He and Thomas Wade are both very cunning, so who knows what other purposes they might have." Diaz said.

"Let's go down and take a look. Maybe we'll find something." Wang Miao threw the popcorn aside and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"You guys go, I'll stay and watch the spaceship." Wei Cheng lay on the bed, turned over and continued to sleep.

Finally, led by Rey Diaz, several people on the spacecraft entered the observatory in space one after another.

"It looks like no one has been here for a long time." Luo Ji said.

Wang Miao took out his ID card and swiped it to open the access control. Almost all the space projects were built by him personally, so he had access to most of the space buildings.

"Teach me how to use this thing."

Luo Ji motioned for Wang Miao to come forward, and Wang Miao demonstrated to Luo Ji how to use the observatory to see what he wanted.

After becoming familiar with the operation, Luo Ji aimed the Hubble telescope at the star 187J3X1.

For a moment, he was stunned.

"what happened?"

Luo Congmin thought her father had met with an accident, so she hurried forward to check. Suddenly, she was also stunned.

"Star 187J3X1 was destroyed."

"This... How is this possible? It was clearly there a few months ago." Wang Miao looked at the star 187J3X1 that had disappeared from the screen and said in surprise.

"What does this mean? Was Luo Ji's experiment successful?" asked Diaz.

"Well, it should be, but is it possible that the star 187J3X1 destroyed itself?" asked Zhang Xiang, who had been silent.

Bai Bing, who is also an astronomer, shook his head.

"That's impossible. The star 187J3X1 couldn't have destroyed itself. It was quite stable and could have existed for a long time. Now it's suddenly gone. It must have been destroyed by something!"

"But what does this prove?" This question popped up in everyone's mind, and then they all looked at Luo Ji, waiting for his explanation.

"Dark Forest Law." Luo Ji just uttered these few words slowly.

"what?"

"There are two axioms in the universe. First, survival is the first need of civilization. Second, civilization continues to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged."

Luo Ji's voice was low, as if it came from the center of a distant black hole. He was explaining a cosmic law of death to everyone present.

"and then?"

"There is no more."

"Just these two?" Wang Miao was a little surprised.

"Just these two." Luo Ji's voice remained calm. At this moment, he seemed like a different person.

"I don't quite understand. What can you infer from this little information?" Wang Miao was still puzzled.

But Luo Congmin, who was standing by, seemed to have realized something.

"Dad, I studied sociology for a while before. The two axioms you mentioned are actually also mentioned in human sociology. So, you mean to say that the laws governing the universe actually have a similar relationship with human society?"

"Yes." Luo Ji nodded.

"You can use something you are most familiar with as an example, and I will help you complete the derivation."

Luo Congmin heard this and thought about it.

"Then let's make it simple. I wrote online novels for a while before, and there is a certain sociological relationship between authors. Let me use this as an example."

"Okay, then let's complete the replacement of the axiom. You try it, it should be easy. We just need to replace the nouns."

Luo Ji seemed somewhat relieved. He didn't expect that the first person to comprehend his theory would be his daughter. Could this be considered a kind of genetic inheritance?

"Hmm... so to put it another way, readers are the first need of a novel, and secondly, the number of words in a novel keeps growing, but the total number of readers remains the same?"

"Yes, yes!" Luo Ji nodded.

"Then I will introduce you to the definitions of two concepts, the chain of suspicion and technological explosion. Can you find the corresponding nouns in the novel?"

"Sure!" Luo Congmin said.

"When I was writing novels, the authors didn't know each other, so we were separated by a network and communication was not convenient. This situation seems similar to the generation of a chain of suspicion, right?"

"Yeah, kind of. What about the other one?"

"This... um, I thought of it. When we were writing novels, good works would be recommended. Works on the recommended list would attract a large number of readers. This effect should be similar to the explosion of technology, right?"

"Moreover, the recommendation mechanism uses big data to quantify the number of readers. For example, if a certain threshold is exceeded, the system will no longer recommend new readers. This also happens to apply the characteristic that the total amount of material is fixed."

"Smart!" Luo Ji couldn't help but praise.

"So now let's build a model. As you said, we are two authors who don't know each other now, and we are both writing a novel of the same type. So what would you do after knowing the existence of the other party?"

"I choose to communicate with you and share my writing experience." Luo Congmin said.

"Okay, now that I have your writing experience, I can incorporate your experience into my book. This way, my book will have more readers than yours, and it will be easier for me to get a better recommendation position." Luo Ji said with a smile.

"Then can't I integrate your experience?" Luo Congmin asked back.

"Sure, but how do you know whether the experience I give you is correct?" Luo Ji hit the nail on the head, leaving Luo Congmin unable to react for a long time.

"If the experience I give you is wrong and the experience you give me is also wrong, then I will not believe your experience and you will not believe mine either, and a chain of suspicion will be created."

"Then I choose not to share my experience with you. I will work on my own and make a fortune in silence. You can't lie to me about this, right?"

"Sure, but if you're better than me, wouldn't all the readers go to your side?"
