Dimensional Alliance

Although under the laws of the Human Alliance, they can no longer directly influence the country's decision-making and laws as before, but for those enterprises and capitalists who have not moved to Ming Dynasty because they are reluctant to part with domestic assets, at least they still don't have to worry too much. Get a relatively rich life.

Especially those companies that are still in New Britain. In the past six months, each of them can't wait to go back to the past and slap themselves hard on the self who is unwilling to seek refuge in Daming.

If not being able to directly participate in and share the dividends of the construction of the human coalition just made them jealous, then after the outbreak of the original enterovirus, being trapped on the American continent all the time almost killed them.

Although the human coalition forces started to counterattack and suppressed most of the mutants in the Northeast of Ming Dynasty and Ottoman in the Middle East, relying on the blockade composed of giant scorpions and super-heavy firepower platforms, they reappeared in the fifth stage that can destroy satellites Once upon a time, the skies temporarily returned to humanity's embrace, allowing humanity's air transport power to restart.

However, relying solely on the material throughput of air freight cannot meet the freight demand of the entire America headed by New Britain. Therefore, all companies remaining in the Americas—except for companies such as software and the Internet that do not need to ship in large quantities—are all due to The transportation of raw materials and finished products was in trouble, and as a large number of business failures and bankruptcies, New Britain's stocks and residents' incomes plummeted like sitting on a building.

Even after the establishment of the Human Alliance, in order to avoid the complete bankruptcy of New Britain, the Human Alliance has allocated a lot of air transportation resources to New Britain, and assisted New Britain in rebuilding some basic industrial facilities, but because the main energy of the Human Alliance has always been Both are in Eurasia, so New Britain is still inevitably caught in the bad situation of rising unemployment, low wages and consumption, while prices are rising rapidly.

If it weren't for the fact that after the outbreak of the original enterovirus, the human coalition had successively established branches in the Far East, Europe, and Japan, and a large number of subsequent engineering projects had absorbed most of the capital fleeing from other countries, the economic crisis in New Britain might have once again triggered a worldwide crisis. economic crisis.

Therefore, when the human coalition reached an agreement with the coalition government, and planned to build a varying number of portals leading to the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the Far East branch, European branch, and New Britain within half a year, and use these portals to complete the American continent. When transporting materials between the Eurasian continent and the world of Ming Dynasty and the world of Wandering Earth, the half-dead New Britain society immediately became excited.Although the portal has not yet been completed, the New Britain that has lost its vitality will not be revived immediately, but those companies and enterprises that have relied on the sale of property or government subsidies to survive until now have finally seen the dawn of survival. The Dow Jones Index, which was about to fall below [-] points, finally stopped its downward momentum.

In order to realize the connection between multiple worlds, the human coalition forces will eventually build a facility similar to the "transfer center" of the portal. All the portals in this world need to communicate with this transfer center first. Personnel and materials in the world need to be reviewed and approved in this transit center before they can enter the corresponding portal.

Although this approach will reduce civilian personnel and business exchanges between worlds, its benefits are also obvious: in addition to ensuring the absolute control of the human coalition over the portal, it can also largely avoid smuggling and smuggling across the world Case.

According to the vision of the human coalition, this transit center should be composed of many fully enclosed tunnel structures. In order to avoid the influence and damage caused by differences in temperature, air pressure, radiation, magnetic field, atmospheric composition, etc. between worlds to other worlds, This tunnel will also be divided into three parts by two partition doors.

Vehicles carrying people and supplies to another world or other areas of Ming Dynasty (according to Ming's plan, these vehicles should be heavy-duty transport convoys or heavy-duty trains) will enter one end of a certain 'tunnel' through their local portals, After cargo loading and unloading, inspection and personnel confirmation, the first isolation door will be opened, and when these vehicles enter the first isolation door, the human coalition forces will close the first isolation door again and separate the two isolation doors. After the environment between them is adjusted to be consistent with their target world, the second isolation door is opened, and the end of the second isolation door is the portal to the target world.

Of course, the extremely inefficient 'isolation gate' is actually a compromise product of the human coalition forces due to current technical problems. According to the original design of the human coalition forces, the portals in these tunnels will not remain open at all. It will only be opened when it needs to be used, and only one portal will be opened each time. While avoiding the impact of different environments in each world, it also reduces the time to adjust the environment in the tunnel.

Although a lot of energy will be consumed in the process of opening and closing the portal, as long as the fusion power generation technology can be put into practical use in the Ming world, then human beings can solve the energy problem once and for all, even if they carry out ten or a hundred times of teleportation every day The opening and closing of the door is nothing more than a matter of burning half a catty of stones to the human coalition forces.

Therefore, what the transfer center of the portal will eventually be built depends largely on when the human coalition forces can fully grasp the refusion technology shared by the coalition government.

After the coalition government officially confirmed the timetable for joining the human coalition, although there are still many details that still require the responsible units of both parties to continue to have headaches, another matter that urgently needs to be resolved in front of the human coalition has been pushed to the forefront: The issue of negotiating with the Trisolaran who has been pigeonholed for more than a month.

Of course, the Human Alliance didn't really want the Trisolarans for so long on purpose, but after the Human Alliance judged that the "certain" technology needed by the Trisolarans was most likely the Human Revolution Alliance's cross-world transition technology, the Human Alliance He thought that the meeting with the Trisolarans could only be held after the coalition government had to be brought into his own system.

After all, the coalition government is the only human force in this world, and it has gone ahead of the human coalition forces in many fields of science and technology. Negotiations by a certain alien race in the world cannot bypass the coalition government in any case.

Although after more than a month of contact, the human coalition has full trust and strong confidence in the CN government, but after all, the coalition government is not the only one of the CN government. In the riots of the branch, the CN government, which was favored by the human coalition, played a pivotal role, but this only increased the CN branch's voice in the coalition government, and it was not enough for the CN branch to directly replace the coalition government. place in this world.

According to the many regulations of the coalition government learned from the CN branch, the human coalition forces are very worried that if they cannot incorporate the coalition government into their own system, during the talks with aliens, certain countries or a certain country in the coalition government will Representatives will do harm to the Human Alliance for their own benefit and prestige.

If it is just a meeting such as business negotiations that does not involve the core interests of the human coalition, it is not unacceptable for the human coalition to lose a little bit of immediate benefits in exchange for smoother cooperation in the future.

However, the interplanetary transition technology is a strategic technology that must not be leaked by the human coalition. It is also the only trump card of the human coalition that can make Trisolarans use it. The trisolarans, who once regarded the law of the dark forest as the truth of the universe, and who have an overwhelming technological advantage over human beings, will not be able to guarantee what they will do after obtaining the information they want.

Even in the previous separate talks with the CN government, both the human coalition and the CN government believed that the technology of cross-plane transition should never be shared with Trisolarans, but after seeing a certain 'former' governor of the US... After doing such an outrageous thing, even the CN leaders who contacted the human coalition can't guarantee that there won't be a second short-sighted idiot in the top ranks of the coalition government.

Even if these selfish guys join forces, they can't force the Human Revolutionary Federation to hand over the cross-plane transition technology, but as long as anyone's attitude at the meeting is a little bit unresolute, they may be listed as trisolarans. As a breakthrough, it will put enormous pressure on the human coalition forces in the negotiation. Even if the human coalition forces withstand the pressure and do not make any concessions, it will inevitably create a rift between the human coalition forces and the coalition government.

But if the coalition government has decided to join the coalition of humans, then the interests of the coalition of humans are also the common interests of the coalition government. The government itself will make him learn to shut up.

Therefore, in the past month, the most important thing for the human coalition forces was to negotiate with the coalition government on the issue of cooperation between the two parties. While basically reaching an agreement on the interests of both parties, it also confirmed the progress of the talks with the Trisolarans. Lead the team and team members.

Of course, before completing the construction and running-in of the negotiation team, the Human Coalition is also doing its best to collect information related to the Trisolarans, but because the Human Coalition later discovered that they currently have very few channels for obtaining information related to the Trisolarans Reliable, so even the human coalition can't be sure whether the information they can even guess will come in handy.

After the human coalition combined and compared the information obtained from various channels, the most reliable information from the Judgment Day shelter and members of the Salvation Faction who surrendered was also very different from the information recovered from Liu Hui's memory fragments. After interrogating the members of the Advent faction captured from various dungeons, the human coalition learned that most of the information about the Trisolarans stored in ETO was guesses made by ETO scientists based on the living environment of the Trisolarans, and A thick layer of 'fan' filter is often added to these speculations, resulting in the information collected by the human coalition forces can only serve as a very limited reference.

Undoubtedly, under the condition that the trisolarans can crush the human coalition forces in terms of intelligence and technology, the human coalition forces are at a natural disadvantage from the very beginning in this negotiation, except for the technology related to the interplanetary teleportation device , the human coalition has no way to counter Trisolaran.

Of course, the Human Coalition Army also knows that the only bargaining chip in their hands is precisely the technology that the Trisolarans must obtain. In order to obtain this technology, the Trisolarans are likely to pay all the price they can afford.

After all, whether it is the information that the company commander and the Trisolarans actively exposed, or the information found in the shelter on Judgment Day and the information provided by members of the Salvation Faction, or the feedback from the thought fragments in Liu Hui's thinking projection world On the screen, there is a piece of information about Trisolaran that is highly consistent:

Due to the operation problems of the three stars, the Trisolaran civilization, which may be destroyed at any time, does not want to escape from the mother star that gave birth to them all the time.

Under the premise that the speed of light cannot be surpassed and the coordinates of the solar system have been exposed and have been attacked by unknown civilizations, the interplanetary transition device in the hands of the human coalition has become the only one that allows the entire Trisolaran civilization and the vast majority of Trisolarans to live. down means.

Therefore, as long as the Trisolarans cannot go directly to the world of the Human Revolutionary Union to rob them directly, the Trisolarans, who have absolute intelligence superiority and technological hegemony, must obediently sit down and negotiate with the Human Alliance Forces—this may be the first few days before the start of this meeting. Not much good news left.

But regardless of whether the human coalition forces are in a disadvantageous position in the negotiation, and regardless of whether the human coalition forces have the confidence to reject Trisolarans, this meeting needs to be held as soon as possible after all. I don’t particularly trust Trisolarans, but for the human coalition, the main contradiction at this stage is still the contradiction between the human civilization that wants to survive and develop, and the various outer space or different-dimensional civilizations that want to destroy human beings After recognizing the question of who is the enemy, even if many people in the human coalition believe that the trisolarans are not credible, as long as the trisolarans are still objects that can be united, the human coalition cannot at least Push to the opposite of yourself.

After arriving at the initial meeting time agreed upon by the two parties, the human alliance negotiating team composed of the Human Revolutionary Federation, Daming, and the coalition government and the robot representing the Trisolarans entered the highest-level meeting hall of Beijing No. [-] Dungeon. Knowing that the Human Alliance Army didn't know the customs of Trisolarans, the Human Alliance Army did not make too many decorations in the conference hall. Except for a long rectangular table and matching chairs in the center of the hall, the entire In the meeting hall, only the flag of the Human Alliance was placed at the front of the long table.

"Hello, Ms. Tomoko, I'm sorry that this meeting is only held now, I hope you didn't make you wait too anxiously." After a simple greeting, the representatives of the Human Alliance took their seats neatly on one side of the long table, while the one opposite them There is only one robot with the appearance of an East Asian girl. "We don't know much about your cultural customs. If there are any improper arrangements, please feel free to point them out."

Although the formal meeting between the two parties has not been held, in order to appease the emotions of the Trisolarans, the robots recovered from the ETO base were transferred to Beijing No. [-] Dungeon after the war in Australia basically ended. There was a certain degree of communication with these robots, and the human coalition forces learned that the man-made particles called "sophons" manipulated these robots. Coalition forces exchange talks.

The Human Coalition also asked what the Trisolarans should be called when they communicated with them, but it seemed that the Trisolarans were unwilling to reveal their names to the Human Coalition, so the Human Coalition simply referred to them in the process of subsequent communication with these robots. The title is 'Sophon', and the Trisolarans have not raised any objections to this.

I don't know if it was to show their goodwill, even though the human coalition forces did not impose any restrictions on the movements of the robots brought to Beijing's No. [-] Dungeon, but until the meeting was held, these robots stayed very quietly In the room assigned to them by the human coalition forces to 'rest', it did not cause any trouble to the human coalition forces.

In addition, before the talks started, Sophon also specially asked the human coalition for a set of female simulation skin and a suit suitable for her figure, so that the robot participating in the negotiation looked like a capable East Asian girl, and Not a cold machine.

"No, we are not anxious." Tomoko, who has the image of an East Asian woman, maintained a consistent smile on her face. "We can guess your concerns. In fact, it is already a matter of fact that you can prepare for the meeting in such a short time. We were very surprised and satisfied."

"It really couldn't be better," the representative of the human coalition also smiled back at Sophon, considering that the information obtained from the Judgment Day shelter showed that there might not be any twists and turns in the thinking mode of the Trisolarans. Because of this, the representative of the Human Coalition Army just said a little politely, and then directly entered the topic of this meeting, "Let me confirm again, regarding the request you made to our officers before, first, you need a certain item that we have mastered. Technology, number two, you're asking Earth to stop moving to Proxima, right?"

The Trisolarans are obviously very satisfied with the approach of the human coalition to get straight to the point. Sophon, who is the communication medium, kept smiling at this time, and also replied straightforwardly: "Yes, our requirements are only these two. In addition, we pay attention to Now that you have used the human computer and other technologies we provide, I hope these technologies can help you.”

"Of course, these technologies are of great help to us, and we are very grateful for your technical assistance." Although Trisolaran's answer seems very normal, but after a little more thought, we can find that Trisolaran deliberately mentioned human In addition to pointing out that the human coalition forces still owe them favors, computer and other technologies also indirectly explained to the human coalition forces that even top-secret information such as the Great Wall Project, which even the senior officials of the human coalition forces themselves may not be fully aware of the progress, they also have. It can be easily obtained, which fully demonstrates to the human coalition that the intelligence capabilities possessed by one's own side are simply not something humans can fight against.

However, through Liu Hui's memory fragments, the human coalition forces have already learned about some of the characteristics of sophons, and the threat of Trisolarans not only failed to deter human representatives enough, but also proved that sophons are indeed still unable to enter In another world, this made the representatives of the human coalition more confident about this meeting, and continued with the same tone: "So in response to your kindness, we have already made the second request you mentioned. Executed, you should know that the earth has now started to slow down, and it is expected to re-park the earth into the orbit of the sun in the next few years, and now you don’t have to worry about exposing the coordinates of your civilization when the earth flies to your galaxy.”

"As for your first condition..." Speaking of this, the representative of the Human Alliance paused for a while, and sighed as if thinking of something regrettable, "Although our civilization is still a very fragile young civilization , but this does not mean that we have not evaluated a certain technology and technical capabilities, IMHO, although you have been emphasizing the need for one of our technologies since you contacted our soldiers more than a month ago, our scientists Assessed, we believe that none of the technologies possessed by the coalition government seems to be of interest to you. Even the refusion technology that we are most proud of is not worthy of such great help to your civilization. "

"Let's have an open and honest talk with each other," the representative of the Human Alliance pushed down his glasses, then put his fists on the long table in front of him, and said innocently, "So what do you want from us? What kind of technology do you get? What do you want to use this technology for?”

Volume 422 Entering the Star Sea: Chapter 0411 Chapter [-] Deadlock

0411

Of course, the human coalition knows what technology the Trisolarans want, and the human coalition also knows that the Trisolarans who have sophons as a means of investigation must also be able to monitor the preparations and meetings of the human coalition through sophons, and they must know what the human coalition discussed. Negotiation tactics and the human coalition know what technology they want.

But just as the Trisolarans showed their intelligence power by announcing to the Human Alliance that they knew the progress of the Great Wall Project, when the Human Alliance did not act in accordance with the negotiation strategy monitored by Sophon, it was also showing the Trisolarans It euphemistically states that the human coalition forces already know the detection method of the Trisolaran, and know how to avoid the detection of the Trisolaran to a certain extent (referring to hiding in the Ming world).

As expected by the human coalition forces, after hearing the question from the human coalition forces, the smile on Sophon's face froze for a moment. Although this stiff look was quickly adjusted, this obvious change of course cannot Avoid the observation of the human coalition forces.

Although the robots in front of the human coalition and the sophons manipulating the robots would theoretically not change their expressions, the Trisolarans who controlled them obviously couldn't keep their emotions out of the way.

After all, information such as Sophon that involves the core secrets of the Trisolarans is only stored in the mainframe that requires the highest authority, except for a few top... people of the Advent faction who know a little bit.

In order to prevent this information from being leaked to the human coalition forces, Sophon had already deleted all the key information in the mainframe in advance before the Judgment Day shelter was captured by the human coalition forces. Before starting the exploration, all the surviving Adventists who had important information, such as Pan Han, were wiped out—this is why the company commander and others discovered that Pan Han's body was pierced by a sharp blade from the back.

However, even if the Trisolarans knew that the human coalition forces had obtained some information about Sophon through unknown channels, it was only a slight leveling of the advantages held by the Trisolarans. Afterwards, the Trisolarans who participated in the negotiation immediately adjusted their mentality, and Sophon showed that business-like smile again: "As we talked about in the previous exchange, since the speed of light in this world cannot be surpassed, so In the universe of this world, the communication between civilizations can be said to have fallen into a quagmire of distrust, which is very dangerous for civilizations like you and me that have not yet left their home galaxy."

The Trisolarans did not directly state their purpose like the worst plan made by the human coalition forces, but this made many representatives of the human coalition forces couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

According to the intelligence analyzed from various materials, the Human Alliance believes that the most dangerous situation in this negotiation is that the Trisolarans have always maintained a tough attitude and are unwilling to make any concessions. After the interplanetary teleportation technology proposed another matter that didn't seem to have much relationship, the representatives of the human coalition knew that at least this negotiation would not turn into the worst situation.

"Now you have regained control of this planet, but we have noticed that you always have certain doubts about how to get along with us, so in order to prevent our two civilizations from appearing in this situation of mutual ignorance Unnecessary misunderstanding, I think we need to implement the cooperation between us as soon as possible, and on this basis, we should further deepen our understanding of each other."

Tomoko's voice sounds very easy to arouse the favor of human beings. Although her tone has not changed much from the beginning to the end, it makes her look very cold, but with her custom-made suit, Sophon's tone is very capable: "You guys Any questions or anything to add?"

However, after seeing Sophon's steel skeleton in front of the simulated skin, the representatives of the human coalition forces did not have any charming thoughts about her, even though Sophon's tone was very friendly, and his words kept revealing the three-body problem Humans hope to cooperate with human beings, but the human coalition forces will not relax in the slightest because of this. Everyone listens intently to every word Sophon said, and analyzes word by word whether there is any hidden meaning in these words. deep meaning.

"On this point, we have no opinion on the general direction of cooperation and win-win." Although the friendly relationship with the Trisolarans has a very large positive impact on the human coalition forces, it is clear that the purpose of the Trisolarans must be to cross planes After the jump device, the representatives of the human coalition knew that the alliance that the Trisolarans were trying to push forward must be paving the way for the subsequent request (or 'joint development') of the cross-plane jump device, so even if the human coalition proposed to the Trisolaran The intention of forming an alliance is very exciting, but the human coalition must also be cautious about this proposal.

According to the deduction in the mind of the representatives of the human coalition forces, the Trisolarans probably intend to establish an ally or an important partnership with the human coalition forces first, and on this basis, it will be easier to obtain cross-plane transition technology.

The trisolarans are very clear that the current human coalition forces are in a state of panic because the solar system of this world is destroyed by a certain civilization, although many representatives of the human coalition forces do not realize that their suspicion and The alert largely came from the civilization that destroyed the solar system. When that civilization never showed up and could not bear the sorrow and anger of mankind, the only Trisolaran who walked in front of the human coalition naturally became Objects that need to be vigilant in the human coalition.

In this state, it is undoubtedly very difficult to obtain cross-plane transmission technology from the human coalition government.Therefore, in the plan of the Trisolarans, if the guard between the Human Alliance and the Trisolarans can be completely lifted in the future, and the Trisolarans can reach an agreement on in-depth cooperation with the Human Alliance in terms of treaties and substance, then by then Relying on the favor owed by the human alliance at this stage, the Trisolarans may be able to easily obtain the relevant technology of the cross-plane transition device.

Therefore, for the Human Alliance, no matter what the purpose of the Trisolarans is, the most important thing now is not to continue to follow the rhythm of the Trisolarans. Various possible problems have been formulated in detail, and there is no situation where the Trisolaran's negotiation strategy completely exceeds the expectations of the human coalition forces.

"As you said, we live in a universe full of malice and suspicion. To survive in such an unfriendly universe, in the face of advanced civilizations and other challenges with malicious intentions, we can only put aside disputes, coexist peacefully, and join hands Only by advancing side by side can we find our foothold in this universe," so the representative of the human coalition stared at Sophon's almost unchanged eyes and asked the Trisolaran directly, "But I personally still have a little bit of doubts about this. Question, I wonder if you can answer it?"

"what is the problem?"

"Of course, this may not be a very important matter for this meeting," the representative of the Human Alliance Army chuckled, as if he really didn't care much about this issue, and continued to ask, "From ETO's From the information, we learned that your detection and intelligence capabilities are far beyond the limit of what our current technology can detect. I originally thought this was another exaggeration of the Adventist faction, but according to our follow-up investigation, and after consulting the Adventist faction During the process, you always provided Adventist information and other characteristics in a timely manner, and we discovered that the information of the Adventist faction is correct, and you do have the means to monitor and detect the entire earth."

When saying these words, the representative of the human alliance did not show any dissatisfaction, and even his expression did not change much, as if he was really just asking the Trisolarans for an answer to a certain question: "So I think this Can this kind of thing be stopped in the future? I personally think that this practice of monitoring the other party's confidential area has violated the principle of peaceful coexistence proposed by you, and it is a great violation and disregard of our sovereignty."

.

Obviously, the representative of the human coalition forces kept a relaxed expression from the beginning to the end in order to give Trisolarans a step forward, so Sophon also kept a 'sincere' smile when asked by the representatives of the human coalition forces. After 'thinking' for a while, he said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem. The reason why we sit together is to resolve our differences and build initial trust for our future cooperation."

Facing the verbal persecution of the representatives of the human coalition forces, the Trisolarans once again chose to make concessions. However, because the human coalition forces lack effective detection methods for sophons, whether the so-called concessions of the Trisolarans will be implemented depends only on the Trisolarans themselves. I just found out.

The concessions made by the Trisolarans on these minutiae further demonstrate that the Trisolarans are determined to win the cross-world jump device, and after being repeatedly diverted from the topic by the human coalition forces, the Trisolarans have gradually adapted to the quota of the human coalition forces. The rhythm of the negotiation, after being led astray by the human coalition and making a few promises, their patience was severely exhausted. Leading the topic to his own purpose: "We have talked about these details for a long time, and the time of the meeting is limited. Now let's talk about the issues that really deserve attention."

"No problem, what do you think is really worth caring about?" The representative of the Human Alliance nodded without any guilt, "What do you want to talk about?"

"About the first request we made at the beginning," the Trisolarans stated their purpose bluntly, "We need the technology related to the interplanetary transition device to get rid of the bad future of our home planet—this matter The matter is very important to us, and I hope you can give us a positive answer."

"Our answer is... no." Now that the Trisolarans have already talked about this point, continuing to ramble will definitely cause the Trisolarans to feel bad for the human coalition forces. Therefore, after a short thought, the human coalition forces The representative did not hesitate to reject Trisolaran's request to obtain portal-related technology, "We cannot directly share the cross-world leap technology with you."

"Why?" Trisolaran was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and even the smile on Sophon's face gradually subsided, "Aren't you afraid that we will directly attack you?"

"Even if you attack us, you won't be able to get the technology you want," these threatening words made the representative of the human coalition silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Cross-world information receiving technology, world coordinate analysis Technology, the core manufacturing technology of the portal, these necessary technologies to open the portal are all stored in another world, even if you really assemble a fleet in this world and blow up the entire earth, you will not get what you want. What’s more, according to the information you voluntarily disclosed, your fleet is still hundreds of years away from the solar system. If we talk about collapse, by the time your fleet arrives, our current position will be swallowed up by the expanding sun long ago .”

"But we can use more than military means." The representative of the human coalition forces suddenly became tough, which surprised the Trisolarans a little bit. Facing the reverse threat from the human coalition forces, the smile on Sophon's face completely disappeared. She stared at Looking at the representative of the Human Coalition Forces in front of him, he said in a cold tone, "For example, we can broadcast the news of the world-traversing technology in your hands across the universe. In this universe, there are many civilizations interested in this technology. Although With our technology, we still can’t figure out the core technology in your portal, but for other advanced civilizations, it may not be completely impossible to crack.”

The Human Coalition knew that the Trisolarans would never be able to put this threat into practice. Except that the interplanetary transition technology currently mastered by the Human Coalition was the only way out for the Trisolarans in a short period of time, the Trisolarans broadcast the Human Coalition to the outside world. The information also means that their own location coordinates are exposed. It doesn’t matter whether there is an advanced civilization that can crack the core technology of the portal, but the Trisolarans whose coordinates are exposed will definitely be attacked by other civilizations.

But just as the Trisolarans did not dare to bet on whether the unknown civilization that attacked the solar system would continue to pay attention to the movement of the earth, the human coalition forces did not dare to bet on whether the Trisolarans, who had fallen into despair, would really make such crazy actions. destructive behavior.

——What's more, in the world of the Human Revolutionary Union, the Egyptian Empire is in charge of a "No. [-]" project similar to this one, which really pushes the Trisolarans into a hurry. Destroyed together with mankind.

Therefore, after the two sides threw out threats that the other party would never accept, the originally harmonious conference hall went cold for a moment. In the next half an hour, neither the representatives of the human coalition nor the robot controlled by Sophon said a word. In his sitting position, the whole negotiation seems to have come to an impasse.

Volume 423 Entering the Star Sea: Chapter 0412 Chapter [-] Irreconcilable Concerns

0412

In this round of verbal confrontation, both the human alliance and the Trisolarans felt the firm attitude of the other party, but as the most controversial cross-plane transition device in this meeting, it is the core interest that is least likely to be compromised by both parties. It is impossible for the human coalition forces to safely hand over such a technology that may threaten other worlds to a civilization far stronger than itself, and it is impossible for the Trisolarans to give up their only hope of getting rid of the crisis of civilization destruction. Therefore, even if the atmosphere of this meeting It has dropped below freezing point, but Trisolaran, who was in a dominant position at the meeting, has no intention of adjourning the meeting.

Time passed minute by minute in the silence between the two sides. The representative of the human coalition and the robot controlled by Sophon just sat face to face without saying a word. They sat quietly from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. It was only then that the representative of the anti-purpose human coalition broke the silence: "Broadcasting to the universe will also reveal the coordinates of your world. I think a 'mere' interplanetary transition technology is not worth letting you and us perish together."

"No, it's just not worth it right now," the representative of the Human Alliance wanted to express that the threat of Trisolarans dying together had no real effect, but Sophon shook his head and denied, "It is undeniable that our current level of technology is indeed better than You are far ahead, but this little technological lead is not completely unsurpassable. As long as we are still trapped in the star system, due to the limitation of space and available resources, sooner or later our technological development speed will be limited by several With the backing of the world, you surpass—and because of the existence of the cross-world jump device, there will inevitably be more and more worlds connected with you. It is only a matter of time before your development potential completely surpasses ours.

"According to the calculations of our scientists, on the premise that the bottleneck of the speed of light cannot be broken through, at most 200 years, you will crush us in terms of technology and military affairs; Misjudgment due to ignorance, and you have successfully broken through the bottleneck of the speed of light during this period, then after you have super-light speed technology and use it on a large scale in the fleet, you will immediately be able to form an advantage over us militarily. "

The human coalition took the initiative to speak to ease Sophon's indifferent expression, but because the core conflict between the two parties has not been resolved, Sophon still said indifferently: "So the 'scene' we just mentioned is not just a situation that may happen in the future. 'Conceive', if we still can't reach a friendly and cooperative relationship, then when you surpass us in an all-round way, or show signs of surpassing us, we can't guarantee that at that time, whether the two of us will still have the opportunity to be as calm as we are now ' sit down and negotiate."

Speaking of this, Tomoko paused again, and then said with a slightly regretful expression: "But that kind of extreme situation is obviously something neither of us wants to see. If our relationship really reaches that stage, it will be difficult for us. , we not only lost the best chance for all the people and civilizations to escape from the neighboring galaxy, but also let our star system be attacked by other civilizations because of the coordinate exposure; and for you, you will lose at least one forever In addition to decades of world development and an ally that could be obtained, you must be ready to deal with snooping and invasion from the higher civilizations of our world."

"No matter how many worlds you have explored and how much technological progress you have made, unless you are strong enough to crush the entire galaxy, even if you are sure to prevent other civilizations from invading your world, even if it is just for defense These unfriendly prying eyes will inevitably consume your energy and military power greatly." Sophon shook his head slightly, as if he was regretting this possible future, "What's more, the preparations you have made are not necessarily It can really play a role-for example, the unknown civilization that caused the rapid depletion of your stars, do you think that tens or hundreds of years of development will give you the technical reserves to fight against this unknown civilization? "

Another round of threats from Sophon made the representatives of the human coalition forces look serious. Although the Trisolarans freely admitted that even if the human coalition forces rejected their request, the trisolarans would not retaliate against the human coalition forces in the near future. , but the Trisolarans also seem to have shown that they have a very clear understanding of the development potential of the human coalition. If the two sides eventually go to confrontation, then even if they really fight for both sides to die together, the Trisolarans will never let anyone The coalition of humans, who may have been hostile to them, developed powers beyond their own.

Now that the Trisolarans have already made their bottom line clear to such an extent, the representatives of the human coalition forces naturally don’t have to continue to hide from the Trisolarans, and asked the Trisolarans without hesitation: “So before the Battle of Sydney? , the purpose of your goodwill to us is just to gain our favor, so that it is easier to obtain the cross-plane transition technology in the negotiation? IMHO, if you really intend to do so, your current behavior and original goal It’s a bit too polarizing.”

"No, we haven't given up our intention to cooperate with you until now." Sophon was silent for a moment, then looked seriously at the representative of the human coalition in front of him, and said seriously, "We really want to build To create a world where all races can survive normally regardless of their level of development or life form..."

"But your current actions and plans are not in line with this goal at all," the representative of the Human Alliance Forces interrupted Sophon for the first time without waiting for Sophon to finish speaking, "Whether you are attacking us or you are trying to restrain us No matter what your reasons for doing this are, when you rely on your own advanced technology to plunder or prompt another civilization When destroyed by external forces, your so-called goal of 'establishing a solidarity in the universe' will no longer be possible—at least it will never be realized in your hands."

"Your accusations are correct, but our ultimate wish is indeed to establish a 'normal' world where civilizations do not continue to maintain hostile contact," Sophon accepted the human coalition's accusations frankly, and then continued to emphasize, " But just like when you face the issue of life and death, you will take the initiative to compromise your ideals with reality, idealism has no soil for survival in disasters."

Although Sophon has been repeatedly emphasizing that the continuation of the three-body civilization is the most important thing to them, a relaxed look finally appeared on the face of the representative of the human coalition who heard this, and the representative of the human coalition leaned forward slightly , Printing every word Sophon said into his mind.

Sophon’s voice was unhurried, leaving enough time for the representatives of the human coalition to think: “The civilization on our planet has been destroyed and rebuilt more than 200 times, and even we ourselves are not the first ones on our planet. A race that has developed civilization, so for us, our ideals and beliefs are meaningless in the face of the continuation of civilization, although we still desire to build a more peaceful and secure world with other civilizations. world, but still on the premise that our civilization needs to survive until then."

"But your ideals do not conflict with the reality you are facing. This is not a single-choice question." After Sophon finished his speech, the representative of the Human Alliance immediately reminded, "We also don't want to see the two of us Civilizations are pitted against each other, and this is an unnecessary conflict for you and me."

"Maybe, but the main problem between you and me now is that both of our civilizations lack a sense of security. You think that sharing our cross-plane transition technology may threaten the security of your world. We are also worried After you become stronger, we will not be able to effectively check and balance you," Tomoko reminded in a flat tone, "so in any case, we can reserve our opinions on the differences between us, but we don't want to be in this situation. This issue has nothing to do with this negotiation, so let's talk about something more practical."

"No, your position has a lot to do with this meeting," the representative of the Human Alliance Army laughed again after finally getting the answer he wanted. His smile was not exaggerated, but it was very contagious. It is easy to arouse the favor of other people, "Since your wish is indeed to unite all civilizations, is there any difference between the cross-plane transition device in your hands and ours? Your purpose Like us, you all want to use the portal to get rid of the status quo that may be destroyed at any time, so you can 'outsource' the construction of the portal to us, and we will 'assist' you in completing the migration of the people or the home planet. "

"This suggestion doesn't make sense," Sophon shook his head. "We are 4.2 light-years away from your star system. Unless you can immediately develop a spaceship that can travel faster than the speed of light, even with our technological level, if you want to cross the This distance also takes hundreds of years. But just like our previous differences, for us, a few hundred years is enough time for your civilization to achieve a comprehensive technical surpassing of ours. We are currently unable to confirm that after a few hundred years As long as you are still kind to us, we do not accept any promises that cannot be fulfilled in the short term.

Speaking of this, Sophon looked into the eyes of the representative of the human coalition: "So no matter what guarantees you have made for the future, it is meaningless for our current negotiations."

"No, it won't take a few hundred years," the representative of the Renlai coalition took up the glass of water on the table and moistened his dry lips, and explained, "As long as we have the coordinates of your planet, then we can share the coordinates of our two sides." The planets are connected together with portals, and then whether our engineering team goes to your planet to build a new portal, or you use our planet’s portal to go to a new world, it is enough to save you from possible destruction at any time."

The suggestion of the human coalition made the Trisolarans quiet down. After a brief silence, Sophon asked again: "How do you get the coordinates of our planet? Send radio messages to our world? Or directly press our relative position Do the calculations? How much time will this take?"

"No, it doesn't need to be so troublesome." There were no scientists from the human coalition participating in this negotiation, but before that, the representatives were also allowed to read some technical information on the interplanetary transition device according to their authority, although many The representatives of the Human Coalition Army did not know the specific meaning of these materials, but according to their own understanding, it is still possible to retell them as Trisolarans, "According to our research, all objects will retain the information from birth to destruction. All the space-time coordinates of your planet, so I think Ms. Sophon should be able to help us get the coordinates of your planet."

"It sounds like it might be possible," although Sophon's voice was still cold, but his tone has softened a lot. It seems that although the Trisolarans haven't fully trusted the human coalition, at least they are more interested in this plan. , "Aren't you afraid that after the portal between our two planets is opened, we will take the opportunity to invade you?"

"Of course I'm worried," said the representative of the human coalition, who was gradually getting used to the way Trisolarans communicate, "so the maximum number of portals connecting with your planet for the first time will not exceed 3X3, even if your military strength has an overwhelming advantage over us. However, it is impossible for a nine-square-meter portal to support the army's later needs in the event of a war with us.

"In addition, not only will this portal not be built in any densely populated area, but we will also deploy enough nuclear weapons around the portal. If you plan to invade our planet, although these nuclear weapons may not be able to explode It is possible to destroy the portal, but it is still possible to destroy the equipment that supports the operation of the portal."

"But how can you guarantee that after your military and technological strength surpasses ours, you will not invade us in turn?" Sophon nodded, and then asked another question, "After all, the cross-plane jump device Your technology has always been in your hands. Even if we find a galaxy or world suitable for living in the future, as long as you still build the portal, it means that you can also obtain the coordinates of this galaxy, which makes us very disturbed. "

"Just like you can't guarantee that you won't kill donkeys after mastering the interplanetary leap technology, we can't make a guarantee that will convince you completely. You can only choose to believe it or not."
