"What if I'm weaker than you? I wrote a terrible book, but you can't be hostile to me, right?"
"Have you forgotten the explosion of technology? Once you are recommended, it is very likely that you will be more powerful than me and will take away my readers."
"Well...if our abilities are similar, we can always communicate, right?"
"It still doesn't work. I said, the total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged. The moment I knew you existed, we were already mortal enemies. It's the truth that people in the same industry are enemies." Luo Ji said.
"Since neither silence nor communication works...it seems like I only have one way left, which is to report your book and have it removed from the shelves..." Luo Congmin said in disbelief.
Luo Ji nodded slightly.
"But this is not right. If everyone does this, then there will be no books in the world, right?" Luo Congmin asked again.
"Yes, that's because different types of books have different readerships. It's like two civilizations living in different dimensions. The Dark Forest Law only applies to the same latitude. Once the two civilizations are not in the same latitude, the rule is invalid because the substances they need to survive are not the same."
"Besides, I just made a hypothetical model. After all, the number of readers of novels is not always the same group of people, but the total volume of the universe will not increase. This is a battle royale. We and other civilizations living in the three-dimensional world are civilizations with resource conflicts. Once discovered, we will be hit by the Dark Forest."
Luo Congmin nodded slightly.
"Dad, I understand your theory, but I always feel that your analogy is not quite appropriate. After all, if we write novels, we already know that there are novels of the same type. Wouldn't that mean that everyone will constantly attack each other in the Dark Forest?"
"So what do you think will happen if you keep reporting everyone?"
"He will... be beaten up by a crowd. After all, he will definitely be beaten to death for doing such a wicked thing." Luo Congmin said.
"So, do you understand?"
When Luo Congmin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"I see. The Dark Forest strike must follow two principles. One is randomness, and the other is economy. Each strike will consume a lot of energy. But if... I mean if, there are as many civilizations in the universe as there are novel authors on the market, then if they want to carry out the Dark Forest strike on others, they will definitely use the most time-saving and labor-saving method."
"So, their targets must be those who are most likely to pose a threat to them. In other words, between civilizations, it means exposing the civilization with the greatest potential for development."
"After all, there are so many civilizations in the universe and so many authors in the world. It is unwise to report all of them. It is like launching a Dark Forest strike on an empty star. It is a waste of resources."
"Then, we must confirm that there is indeed civilization on this planet and that it has developed to a certain level before we attack it."
"It's like if you publish your novel's results, you will be immediately reported by jealous authors."
"Dad, the so-called curse you released before was actually a disguise for 187J3X1 Star. You used your own novel achievements to put them on the screen to attract other novel authors to attack the novel 187J3X1 Star. Am I right?"
"Yes, that's right." Luo Ji said with a smile.
"Then why not just release the curse on the Three-Body Civilization right from the start?" Wang Miao asked doubtfully.
"Because I'm not sure whether this theory is valid." Luo Ji said.
"There is another reason. I guess. My father thinks that the distance between the Trisolaran civilization and our Earth is too close and it is easy to be discovered. It's just like when you criticize a novel, the recommendation system will recommend you novels of the same type. If one of the two books with similar themes is criticized, the other will also be criticized."
"But it's too late now. The sun is locked and you can't curse anymore." Ding Yi said helplessly.
"Actually...it's not too late."
At this time, Rey Diaz...suddenly spoke slowly.
"Some time ago, when the PDC was just destroyed, although I didn't have to be executed, I did have the idea of destroying all of humanity. So in order to avoid suspicion, Lin Xuan once gave me a task and asked me to go out and stay out of the spotlight for a while."
"I didn't understand its purpose before. I thought it was just a simple dust cloud to monitor the movements of the Trisolaran fleet, but now I have guessed what it is used for."
"What mission?" Luo Congmin was stunned. She had no idea about this, which meant that this mission was being carried out before she took office.
"He asked me to place thousands of stellar hydrogen bombs on the dust cloud, saying that these things would not be used in the future and were prepared for collective destruction. By the way, the dust cloud can be spread out and used as a "snow field" to detect the traces of the Trisolaran fleet. This task is called - Snow Field Engineering!"
Chapter 141 Two People with 1600 Thoughts
When Lin Xuan arrived at Daxinganling, quite a number of reporters were already waiting there. They had all heard the news that Lin Xuan was going to negotiate with the Trisolarans on behalf of humanity, and they had come from all over the place.
"Mr. Lin Xuan, are you sure you can keep half of the Earth's territory for humans?"
"Mr. Lin Xuan, as the only Wallfacer, do you still have the possibility to lead humanity to victory?"
"Mr. Lin Xuan, who do you think is primarily responsible for humanity's defeat this time?"
Listening to the reporters' questions one after another, Lin Xuan felt a headache.
Sure enough, it was a correct choice for him not to directly establish deterrence and become the Sword Bearer, otherwise he might end up like Luo Ji.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan spoke the first and only words to all mankind after waking up.
"If humans still cannot learn from their defeat, then allowing the Trisolarans to occupy the Earth would be a wise choice."
As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar in human society.
Some people yelled in anger, some lowered their heads in shame, some began to ponder the meaning of Lin Xuan's words, and some chose to just give up, hoping to live one more day.
There was also a heated debate on the Internet, and people had mixed opinions about Lin Xuan.
Some people say that he is a sinner in history, standing at the pinnacle of human power but failing to lead humanity to defeat the Trisolarans.
Some people also say that Lin Xuan is the last light of hope for mankind. Regardless of whether this war is won or not, the hope that Lin Xuan has brought to people in the past two hundred years is something that the other wall-facers do not have.
But no matter how people evaluate Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan doesn't care.
The negotiation location was set at the ruins of the Red Coast's first base. A few days ago, someone had built an enclosed hut made of purple meteorites here. Lin Xuan and the Trisolarans would make the final decision on the fate of mankind here.
Following a group of reporters, Lin Xuan slowly entered the house and locked the door.
The furnishings in the room were very simple, with only one chair, and it looked a bit like an interrogation room.
I wonder if the designer thought that this method could be used to please the Trisolarans and make the negotiations go more smoothly.
But Lin Xuan didn't think so at all. Just now when he was outside, he was acting and pretending to attach great importance to this negotiation opportunity.
But the moment the door was locked, Lin Xuan sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, and looked at the white wall in front of him leisurely.
It looked as if the defeated party was the Trisolarans.
"Okay, stop wasting my time. If you have something to say, say it now. If you have something to say, fart now."
Lin Xuan was too lazy to even look for where Chieko was, but instead wiggled her fingers and played with a group of nanorobots in her hand.
These nanorobots were made by Professor Wang Miao after he developed version 2,0 of the nanomaterials. When he made the Navigator, half of them were left and he kept them here.
After all, these things require very high computing power. Apart from Cheng Xing's pseudo-artificial intelligence, I am the only one in the world who can use it.
They are only a tiny bit at the beginning, about the size of a palm, but as they continue to devour other substances, these nanorobots will transform each other and create more and more nanorobots. This is what makes them truly terrifying.
According to Wang Miao, each nanorobot is an independent individual, which is composed of countless weakened versions of intelligent particles. After this thing is created, human beings have stepped half a foot into the threshold of microscopic world engineering.
Just when Lin Xuan was thinking about how to continue fooling the Trisolarans, a voice sounded in Lin Xuan's ears.
"Long time no see, Mr. Lin Xuan."
Lin Xuan raised her head and found a familiar figure in front of her.
"Yun Tianming!"
Lin Xuan saw that Yun Tianming's holographic projection was projected in front of her by Zhizi. As for where Zhizi was hiding, Lin Xuan couldn't see it.
"I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Trisolarans. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I am now the 13th Archon of the Trisolarans, the Fairy Tale Archon."
Lin Xuan was a little shocked. He really didn't expect that the Trisolarans would actually send Yun Tianming to negotiate with him.
What the hell...
I don't even need to fool people at all.
It's like they're throwing information in his face?
Are the Trisolarans really that stupid... No!
Lin Xuan soon realized a problem. Perhaps in the Trisolarans' cognition, observers did not belong to human civilization.
In fact, I had already gotten some clues about this through my previous conversations with the Trisolarans.
But the key point of the problem is not this place, but whether there is something that the observer cannot tell humans?
Is it even a topic that cannot be mentioned?
If there is, as long as I tell them, the other party will definitely doubt my true identity.
So this is digging a hole for themselves, right? It seems that the Trisolarans are also beginning to doubt their own identities.
Lin Xuan thought about it for a while and finally decided to let Yun Tianming ask the questions first. In this situation, if she spoke too much, she would make mistakes.
"You've been promoted so quickly, kid. You've become consul so quickly. Will you become the head of the Trisolarans in a few days?" Lin Xuan teased.
"Luckily, Luo Congmin has also been promoted to Minister of Culture and Education, so he is more or less on the same level as me. We are all the same."
When Lin Xuan heard this, her brain started to work rapidly.
He knew that Yun Tianming must have some information to reveal to him, but he could only say it very vaguely, so he would use this casual way to communicate with the other party in order to obtain more information.
Yun Tianming mentioned Luo Congmin’s Minister of Culture and Education. The key information may be in three directions. The first is Luo Congmin, the second is the Minister of Culture and Education, and the third is education. I just need to make further judgments.
"Yeah, I originally just wanted her to be an ordinary person, but I didn't expect her to perform better than I thought. Even her father is not as good as her."
Yun Tianming nodded slightly.
"I've heard about this. When she was the Minister of Culture and Education, she accomplished a lot. She is one of the few female politicians who have made achievements in politics."
Lin Xuan smiled.
"Okay, now we can basically rule out the Archon of Culture and Education, so the only answer left is Luo Congmin himself and education."
The Trisolarans’ idea is actually quite good. Yun Tianming’s coming to negotiate can force Lin Xuan to reveal his identity.
If Yun Tianming was just an ordinary person, then he would be in a passive position. After all, who knows what topic the other party would talk about to lead him into trouble.
But who is Yun Tianming? He is one of the three magical gods together with Luo Ji and Zhang Beihai. He and Lin Xuan together have at least 1600 minds and eyes. Add the 12 Trisolaran archons present, and there must be 1588 minds and eyes in total. It is simply the two greatest fraud elites of mankind brought together.
"I envy her. Unlike me now, I am extremely busy every day. After the Trisolarans resurrected me, they kept asking me to write fairy tales for them. To be honest, I sometimes refer to some of Luo Congmin's stories. Her stories are really good."
It can be confirmed that Yun Tianming is referring to education.
But Lin Xuan really couldn't think of any clues related to education, so she had to throw the topic to Yun Tianming again.
"Then at least you don't have to worry about food and drink, right? Look at Wang Miao, he's so old, but he didn't receive a pension until he died."
"Well, then she's leading a more wonderful life than her father. At least she's not the next Luo Ji, right?"
The conversation that followed was basically just some meaningless chat. Lin Xuan couldn't analyze any more information, so she took the initiative to bring the topic back on track.
"Are the Trisolarans so scared of me that they don't even dare to meet me? Have they said what to do with the remaining humans?"
"I told you that they will continue to complete the remaining experiments. After all, if the experiments are successful, it will benefit everyone." Yun Tianming directly repeated the original words that the Three-Body Archon asked him to relay.
"Indeed, no matter what is said, the experiment must be completed. This is one of my duties as an observer."
"Shock value from Yun Tianming +67."
Yun Tianming's holographic projection shook twice, and after a few seconds, he responded.
"In my opinion, since the war is over, humans should be given a piece of land of their own. Lin Xuan, you can continue to complete the relevant experiments directly in the land that belongs to humans."
It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the two sentences spoken by Lin Xuan and Yun Tianming, but Lin Xuan obviously paused intentionally when speaking, and Yun Tianming immediately knew that there must be other information in these words.
He and Lin Xuan are both Chinese. What Lin Xuan said must be a secret code that only Chinese people can understand.
In just two or three seconds, Yun Tianming analyzed the complete code.
If you break down the last letters of each word Lin Xuan pauses in, they are S, M, S, Y.
Only the Chinese understand the secret code, which is Pinyin. Combined with the information of the previous sentence, these four letters will form a sentence.
What experiment?
Lin Xuan was asking himself this question, and it seemed like he knew nothing about the experiment.
This is also the reason why Yun Tianming provided the shock value, because he always thought that Lin Xuan was really an observer. After all, the various magical operations that Lin Xuan performed from beginning to end made it difficult for people not to associate him with the spokesperson of a super civilization.
When Yun Tianming learned about the way the Trisolarans addressed Lin Xuan, he had wondered if Lin Xuan had picked him up at Hongqiao Airport because she thought he had great potential in the future and that he was recognized by the spokesperson of a higher civilization.
But now, Lin Xuan's character has collapsed. It turns out that this guy has been acting from the beginning to the end.
Yun Tianming was somewhat incredulous. He thought that he was secretly proud of the fact that he could trick the Trisolarans into going round and round, but it turned out that this person was even more powerful.
However, despite being shocked, Yun Tianming's cooperation this time was still quite good.
Yun Tianming's reply was to use the first letters of the letters as the code, which were Y, F, L, L. After all, if the last letters were used as the code, the Trisolarans would easily find the pattern, and the final four words were pieced together.
Dependency theory!
