Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 134 Escape, Humans!

This meeting of representatives from various countries to report on their work against the wall lasted for three days and three nights.

Originally, after the first day ended, the rotating chairman banged on the table and said, "Today's reports are temporarily suspended. Everyone should rest for the night."

But Luo Qing said no.

A beam of inspiration shone through, and everyone was filled with renewed energy. Having witnessed the miraculous power of the Wallfacer, the group stayed with Luo Qing for three days and three nights.

In this "report" from the face of humanity's civilization, there are a total of eighteen noteworthy points, which become increasingly important as you read on.

First: The major downturn has already arrived, but the intensity is still under control in various countries. Economic collapse is inevitable, and countries can only provide the minimum necessary supplies to ensure that there is no widespread famine.

Second: Humanity's boundaries have expanded to the vicinity of Jupiter's orbit over the past fifty years. Humanity now possesses 70 planetary-class warships and one experimental star-class warship.

Among them, the experimental star-class warships theoretically reached a maximum speed of 1% of the speed of light, which is almost the average speed of the Trisolaran First Fleet (the Trisolaran First Fleet's theoretical maximum speed is 10%, but due to the fleet's huge mass, slow acceleration, and limited energy, it can only cruise at this speed for a very short time, and most of the time it can only travel at 1% of the speed of light).
The name of humanity's first starship-class warship was [Adam].
Third: Supranational organizations such as the European Union, the Pacific Front, the Latin American Alliance, the African Union, and ASEAN have become important components of geopolitics and wield influence no less than that of major regional powers.

Fourth: The Circum-Equatorial Particle Accelerator has been completed and is entering the final start-up and retesting phase, but the Dante Instrument has not yet been activated.

Fifth: As predicted by the Futurist school, the Space Force has in fact become an independent political force, although militarily it is still under the unified command of the Planetary Defense Council.

Sixth: The PDC and the United Nations have merged, with the UN becoming the de facto global government and the representative government of human civilization. Major powers and supranational organizations are all important components of the UN. The UN Secretary-General and the rotating president of the PDC are often the same person. However, this position is not the highest leader of human civilization; human civilization has not yet formed a highly centralized political system like the Trisolaran civilization.

Seventh: The misuse of controlled nuclear fusion energy has led to an increase in the greenhouse effect, with global temperatures remaining high and environmental degradation becoming increasingly serious. Simply using round soap bubbles to transport ocean water vapor is no longer enough to curb drought and desertification on Earth.

Eighth: Globally, traditional agriculture is shrinking, food production is declining further, and the proportion of industrial starch in staple foods is rising steadily.

In this day and age, eating a steamed bun made from pure wheat flour is a luxury.

Ninth: Globally, both light and heavy industries have achieved full automation. Because humans are preoccupied with internal problems, industrial construction has been completely handed over to MOSS (Manufacturing Utilization System), in which general-purpose industrial robots have played a significant role.

Tenth: On the Moon, MOSS plans to build three planetary engines. This is the "Moon Chasing Program" added to MOSS's mainstream defense plan and has received unanimous approval from all permanent members of the Security Council.

As for why a "Monthly Plan" suddenly appeared, we'll leave that aside for now.

Eleventh: The rise of the digital life movement has created a significant political force in various countries. Driven by the existence of quantum computers, the development of virtual technology, and the frustrations of real life and pessimism about the future, people have shown great enthusiasm for digital life. (The digital life movement conceals the fact that the essence of digital life is copy-paste rather than cut-and-paste, and uses the killing of volunteers to disguise it as "consciousness cutting and pasting" to deceive more people into participating.)
Twelfth: Globally, terrorism by anti-state and anti-government organizations is on the rise. It was later confirmed that these terrorist organizations, driven by discontent with the massive resources invested in space to combat catastrophes three to four hundred years into the future, have no causal relationship with the Trisolaran Organization (ETO) and are a natural consequence of internal human conflicts.

Thirteenth: Mars became the second planet after the Moon to develop human cities. Currently, the only city on Mars has a permanent population of 30. Controlled nuclear fusion (providing energy), quantum computer macroscopic control (overall planning), round soap bubbles (regulating the environment), and the seawater that Luo Qing dragged from Earth (providing water resources).

These four conditions are the main prerequisites for the formation of a Martian city.

Fourteenth: The human space fleet has achieved routine patrols within the middle solar system, from Jupiter's orbit to Mercury's orbit.

Fifteenth: The next step in the human plan is to build a solar system outpost and spaceport on the three Jupiter moons Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These outposts will serve as rest and repair facilities for planetary spacecraft and as important resupply sites for future star-class spacecraft. The plan is to complete the project in 150 years, but humans and MOSS have not yet reached a consensus on the specific construction methods.

These three moons of Jupiter have unique advantages, and their strategic significance is no less than that of the inner planets of the solar system.

Europa's surface is covered by a thick layer of ice, beneath which a liquid water ocean may exist. Water is a key element for life and could also support the operation of human bases. Jupiter's radiation belts have a relatively small impact on Europa, which provides favorable conditions for human activities on its surface.

Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system, possessing its own magnetic field that provides some protection for its base against solar winds and cosmic rays. Its surface contains abundant water, which exists underground as ice.

Callisto has relatively little geological activity and a relatively stable surface, which is a significant advantage for building a long-term base. The existence of a subsurface ocean on Callisto has been confirmed, providing a potential water supply for future human bases. In humanity's predicted doomsday battle, if the enemy cannot be located outside the solar system, then a base on Jupiter will be humanity's Stalingrad. Therefore, the modification and construction of Jupiter's three main moons is imperative.

Sixteenth: The Three-Body Organization (ETO) has resurfaced and is slowly spreading through human society like cancer using the Mind Imprinting Device. The efforts of various countries to combat ETO have been ineffective.

In the 50 years since Luo Qing, the Wallfacer, was lost, the PDC has not gained much advantage in its war against the ETO.

Chapter Seventeen: Even with the mind imprinting device in place, an agent infiltrated into the Trisolaran organization, bearing the mind imprint, risked his life to leak crucial information: [The Trisolaran Second Fleet has set sail!]

What makes humanity even more uneasy is that no trace of the Trisolaran Second Fleet has been found through the Hubble 3 telescope or the Fitzroy-Ringer telescope.

Either the Trisolaran Second Fleet blocked optical observation, or the Trisolaran Second Fleet had not yet entered the 'snowy area'. In any case, this was very unfortunate news for humanity, which exacerbated human pessimism.

Humanity scrimped and saved for 50 years to build 70 interstellar warships, while the Trisolaran civilization's second fleet had already set sail.

The 18th and most important point: PDC received a warning from Trisolaris, and the rotating chairman displayed the warning on the big screen.

Luo Qing became increasingly silent as he looked at the screen.

【Beautiful Earth civilization, hello! We are the Trisolaran Earth Organization! We are Trisolarans with conscience within the Trisolaran civilization.】

What we want to tell you is: Escape! Escape into the depths of the universe! Earth civilization is no match for the Trisolaran civilization. Even the powerful super-individual Luo Qing could not resist the subsequent Trisolaran second fleet.

Escape! Beautiful Earth civilization! Escape! Humanity, full of morality and love! Escape into the depths of the universe! And one day, when our escaped human civilization has fully developed, we will return to liberate Earth civilization from the Trisolaran occupation, and liberate the Trisolaran civilization on Trisolaris!
Escape! Influenced by Earth's culture, the Trisolaran civilization has experienced an intellectual awakening and a renaissance! Escape! A technological explosion is underway in the Trisolaran civilization!

Flee! This is a message we sent to our beautiful Earth with our lives! The Sophons and the Trisolaran army have already discovered us by locating gravitational waves. By the time you receive this letter four years later, the Trisolaran Earth organization will have already been wiped out by the evil Trisolaran army!

Flee, beautiful Earth! Flee, humanity full of morality and love! Flee, the torch of civilization will be entrusted to you! Flee, add a warm ray of light to this dark universe! Flee!

The UN rotating president said, "This message was sent using gravitational waves. Humanity has not yet mastered a high-power interstellar communication system using gravitational waves, but the Trisolaran civilization has. Obviously, even without the sophons, their communication level is much higher than ours. The language sent was English and Chinese, which means they seem to know us very well."

The EU President said, "Mr. Wallfacer, according to our spies infiltrating the Trisolaran organization, who successfully resisted the ETO's thought imprint, the Trisolaran Earth organization is real. However, we also cannot verify the authenticity of this source, and we are unsure if this is yet another scheme by the Trisolarans."

The chairman of the Pacific Front said, "This so-called warning message repeatedly emphasizes that we cannot defeat the Trisolaran civilization and hopes that we will escape. But the question is, where can we escape to in the vast universe?"

The Space Force Commander-in-Chief said, "Moreover, human civilization at this stage does not have the so-called ability to escape. As the first starship, the Adam does not yet have the ability to travel between star systems, and the ecological maintenance system inside the spacecraft is also unstable. I do not believe that a spaceship that can accommodate three or four thousand people can shoulder the heavy responsibility of continuing civilization."

The president of the Latin Alliance said: "Since we received this so-called warning message a few years ago, we have opened up discussions about escapism. But whether it is public discussion or discussion based on scientific rationality, one fact has been reached: that is, the next-generation spaceship that is sufficient to continue human civilization is far beyond what star-class warships can achieve."

The Russian president said, "The reason why MOSS's three planetary engines on the moon were authorized and approved by us is for this reason. The three lunar planetary engines are to verify the possibility of propelling planets. If we really want to leave our home in the solar system, then humanity should at least find a planet to experiment on, and the moon is a suitable experimental subject."

The Chinese representative said, "Of course, we did not pin our hopes on pushing the Earth. Scientists have already demonstrated that the Earth's interior is in a molten state and cannot withstand excessive thrust. Even the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with its thickest crust, is far from being able to bear the force of pushing a planet. Therefore, from the moment the concept of the next-generation spacecraft was proposed, we placed our hopes on Mercury. Mercury is solid and has cavitation bases, which are natural refuges. If humanity really needs to escape, then Mercury is undoubtedly the most suitable place."

A scientist representative said, "Mr. Wallfacer, there's another piece of bad news the politicians haven't told us: the scientific community has detected abnormal helium flash activity inside the sun. There's already a worrying speculation in the scientific community, and MOSS, based on its powerful quantum computing simulation capabilities, has predicted that the probability of a solar helium flash is rapidly increasing. That's why, before you wake up, we've temporarily reduced our investment in the construction of the Mercury cavitation base... Really, humanity doesn't know what to do anymore."

Luo Qing felt numb after hearing this.
