At the beginning of the crisis era, the enthusiasm of human society has not yet been extinguished by the great trough.

In order to establish a solar system defense system, the United Nations once concentrated the resources of the earth world to complete a series of feats.

These huge projects all reached or exceeded the limits of technology at that time, such as the space elevator, the test of a stellar nuclear bomb on Mercury, the breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion technology, etc., etc., etc., have all been recorded in history.

These projects laid the foundation for the technological leaps that followed the Great Depression.

But the Ladder Plan did not fall into this category, and it was forgotten even before the Great Trough.

In the opinion of historians, the ladder plan is a typical product of passion and impulse in the early stages of a crisis, and is an adventure carried out hastily without careful planning.

Apart from the complete failure in the ending, nothing of value was left behind technically. Later aerospace technology developed in another direction entirely.

But no one expected that nearly three centuries later, the Ladder Project would bring a glimmer of hope to Earth's civilization in desperate situation.

"Yun Tianming wants to see you."

When Sophon said these words to Cheng Xin with a smile, the entire human world boiled with Cheng Xin's heart.

How the staircraft carrying Yun Tianming's brain was intercepted by Trisolaris may always remain a mystery.

Near the orbit of Jupiter, a sail of the ladder craft broke, and the craft deviated from its planned route. The Earth also lost its orbital parameters, and the craft was lost in the vast space.

But if Trisolaran was able to intercept the aircraft later, it must have mastered its orbital parameters after the sail cable broke. Otherwise, even with Trisolaran technology, it would be impossible to search for such a small object in the vast space outside the solar system.

The most likely guess is that after the staircase aircraft, at least during the acceleration segment, Sophon followed it and mastered its final orbital parameters.

But it is unlikely that Sophon followed him during the long voyage.

The spacecraft later passed through the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. In these areas of space, it may have been slowed down or yawed by interstellar dust, but it seems that the yaw did not occur, otherwise Trisolaris would not have known the new orbit. parameter.

Therefore, there was a certain amount of luck in the interception of the ladder aircraft.

The person who intercepted the ladder aircraft can basically be determined to be the spacecraft of the Trisolaran First Fleet, and most likely the spacecraft that has not slowed down.

At that time, it was greatly ahead of the fleet and was expected to arrive in the solar system a century and a half ahead of schedule. After arriving, it could only pass through because of its high speed.

The ship's purpose has also remained a mystery.

After the Dark Forest Deterrence was established, the spacecraft turned together with the First Fleet. The earth did not have a grasp of its route parameters, but if its turned route was consistent with the direction of the First Fleet, it might be consistent with the yaw ladder. Aircraft encounter.

Of course, even if they meet, there will still be a huge distance between them. If the spacecraft does not grasp the precise orbital parameters of the aircraft, it will be impossible to search and locate it.

The specific time when the aircraft was intercepted can only be roughly estimated. It was thirty to fifty years ago, and it cannot be earlier than the era of deterrence.

The Trisolaran fleet's motivation for intercepting the ladder craft is understandable.

Until the end, the real physical contact between the Trisolaran world and the human world was limited to water droplets, so it is still tempting for them to obtain a human physical biological specimen.

Yun Tianming must be in the Trisolaran First Fleet now, and most of the spacecraft of this fleet are flying in the direction of Sirius.

[Sure enough, it is impossible that the ladder plan that I spent so much time talking about before has no content at all! 】

[Human living data is very tempting to the Trisolaran civilization. They will definitely find ways to capture Yun Tianming's brain. 】

[Since Zhizi is talking about Yun Tianming wanting to see Cheng Xin, doesn’t it mean that the Trisolaran successfully used that brain to resurrect Yun Tianming?!]

[I can only say that Yun Tianming is lucky!]

[Good luck? That’s not necessarily true, right? Guess whether the Japanese people will conduct human experiments on Yun Tianming after capturing his brain?

The audience fell silent. After watching so many videos, they already had a considerable understanding of the Trisolaran civilization.

This civilization, which has brought fear and death threats to the earth countless times, can never have any such idea of ​​​​humanism!

What's more, Yun Tianming's identity as a spy has no cover from the Trisolaran civilization. In this way, you can already imagine what Yun Tianming will go through!

…Please give me flowers…

[Actually, there is a more important thing, which is to be enlightened about how we view human beings now...]〖

This sentence immediately woke everyone up, and they also realized the key point!

Human beings in the future society have also thought of this. They do not understand Yun Tianming's current situation, nor do they know whether his brain was cultured separately or transplanted into a cloned body.

But everyone is concerned about the same question: Is Yun Tianming still working for the benefit of mankind?

This worry is not unreasonable. Yun Tianming saw that Cheng Xin's request was granted, which means that he has integrated into the three-body world, and may even have a certain social status in that world.

The next logical but shocking question is: has he participated in the history since the beginning of the Deterrence Era to the present day, and does everything that happened between the two worlds in the past half century have anything to do with him?

People don't want to think deeply, or in other words, fear of the future overwhelms this question!

They desperately want the hope of living, no matter where this hope comes from or who hands it!

And Yun Tianming appeared at the critical moment when the earth's civilization was in dire straits, and he really brought hope.

When people heard the news, their first reaction was that their prayers had been answered and the angel of salvation finally appeared.

Subsequently, under Sophon's arrangement, the meeting place between Cheng Xin and Yun Tianming was determined to be the gravitational balance between the earth and the sun - the Lagrange point.

According to Zhizi, this meeting was only between Yun Tianming and Cheng Xin and had nothing to do with any third party.

During the meeting, the content of their conversation will also be strictly limited to between the two of them and shall not involve any technical, political or military content of the Trisolaran world.

Yun Tianming couldn't talk about these things, and Cheng Xin couldn't ask such questions.

No third party shall be present during the meeting, and no recording of any kind shall be made.

Despite so many restrictions, both Cheng Xin and the audience understood that this meeting would most likely determine the fate of mankind!
