A list of the top ten main characters: Ye Wenjie from the Three-Body Problem at the beginning.

A powerful phenomenon swept across the land.

They were all too familiar with this kind of scene.

The video then continued playing.

in the picture.

The exciting BGM sounded.

The Natural Selection's deep-sea acceleration fluid completely submerged Zhang Beihai.

Zhang Beihai floated translucently in the air.

The screen flickers.

In his semi-conscious state, Zhang Beihai seemed to see his father.

Today's choice was a reminder given to him by his father.

"Beihai, you need to think more."

Natural selection! Move forward four!

This is what he spent his entire life striving for.

"Father, I did it."

hum~

Natural Selection streaked across the universe like a shooting star, heading straight for the distance.

In the video, the background music heard by people from all the worlds is the ending theme of The Wandering Earth.

The sound of this background music sent a jolt through the hearts of Liu Peiqiang, Tu Hengyu, Ma Zhao, and others in the world of The Wandering Earth.

on the screen.

Dongfang Yanxu kept staring at Zhang Beihai until his figure became blurry.

Immediately afterwards, the background music in the video changed again.

We will not look back on the past, which we can never return to; we are determined to move forward.

……

Let hope be my silent, eternal epitaph.

Two hundred years of stealth, all for this day!

Zhang Beihai has never betrayed humanity.

……

—The Three-Body World.

Upon seeing this, Ye Wenjie only said one word: "Humanity has finally stepped out of its comfortable cradle to face the vast universe and stars."

Ye Wenjie remained calm, silently observing everything.

It can be said that the scene shown in the video shocked all the worlds.

Sometimes humans are like that; they are despicable, selfish, arrogant, and proud.

But once awakened, it unleashes tremendous power.

Just like more than two hundred years ago, when that man roared, "Long live the people!"

……

The camera finally focused on the Combined Fleet headquarters.

The alarms are blaring, and the excitement is already at its peak.

[Unauthorized absence from duty: Unauthorized absence from duty occurs at the First Airport]

[Minor fire, illegal departure from port]

……

Upon seeing this, the European and North American fleets sent messages to question the Asian fleet, saying, "Didn't we have an agreement? How could your Asian fleet send ships to carry out operations on its own?"

The Asian Fleet was speechless, indicating that they had no traitors; it was their side that had been betrayed.

The European fleet: "???"

The North American fleet: "???"

……

Asian Fleet Oversight Department.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"The ship illegally departed and escaped."

"this?"

"We'll report to the Commander-in-Chief; you all need to gather the data quickly."

……

The fleet commander also rushed over to ask, "How much has the target accelerated?"

"30 GB, and it's still increasing."

The fleet commander issued the order: "Order the ships on duty to prepare for interception, and all other ships to raise their fire and stand by."

"The duty ships Ultimate Law, Enterprise, and Deep Space will depart in 10 minutes."

The fleet commander cursed, "Damn it, it's too late."

Just then, Chu Yan, who had appeared earlier, made his entrance.

"Blue Space calling base, Blue Space calling base."

"This is the Asian Fleet Command Center at Jupiter Base. Please continue."

"I am Chu Yan, captain of the Blue Space, requesting permission to pursue the Natural Selection."

I was right to say we should pursue them. Chu Yan was the only fleet that volunteered to pursue them, but if you knew his story, you'd probably think of pursuing them as running away.

Fleet Commander: "Here you are, Commander. Is your ship fully staffed and ready to go?"

"Blue Space 407 is ready to launch," Chu Yan's voice came through the microphone.

"Request approved, prepare to strike."

……

"This is the second airport. Blue Space, please proceed with preparations as instructed."

"Clear the air ahead, what are you doing?"

Chu Yan, learning from his predecessors: "Blue Space, forward four!"

The screen turns again.

Ding Yi, aboard the space station, watched the fleet constantly setting out and silently thought to himself, "This parting in the North Sea will surely mark the end of time!"

……

The screen turns again.

Natural Selection, having crossed Jupiter's orbit, stopped accelerating, and the spacecraft, five million kilometers away, called its Asian headquarters.

"Natural Selection calling the Asiatic Fleet!"

Asian Fleet: "Natural Selection, Asian Fleet has received your call. Please report the situation on board."

"I am Captain Zhang Beihai, and I request to speak directly with the fleet commander," Zhang Beihai said.

“I’m listening,” the commander said.

Zhang Beihai was the first to say that he would take full responsibility for the escape.

After exchanging a few words with Zhang Beihai, the commander got down to business.

"Why did you defect?" the commander asked.

“It’s true I fled, but I didn’t betray you,” Zhang Beihai said.

The commander gritted his teeth and spat out two words: "The reason?"

"Humanity is destined to lose this war against the Trisolarans."

"I just want to preserve an interstellar spaceship for Earth's civilization and leave a spark for human civilization."

……

To be continued...

Chapter 57: The Impending Death!

Zhang Beihai's escape is a fact, but he does not admit that he has betrayed humanity.

That's indeed the case, which is why he had the courage to call.

But after that phone call, everything became meaningless.

Because both sides made choices, and choices themselves are neither good nor bad, only results.

What Zhang Beihai accomplished over two centuries was merely to preserve a dying ember, and even that ember was on the verge of extinction.

In order to save themselves from disasters, humanity must recognize reality.

Stop engaging in pointless internal strife, just like those "ten no's".

……

Boom~

……

Above the heavens and the myriad realms, strange phenomena frequently occur.

Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed incessantly; what did this earth-shattering spectacle signify?

This is all too familiar to those watching the video.

The video continues playing.

in the picture.

Zhang Beihai's conversation with the Asian ship captain is still ongoing.

The commander asked him if he was a member of the "steel-stamped clan," and Zhang Beihai's answer was the same as before: he couldn't possibly be.

"Then why is that? Why do you have such an unusual and unwavering defeatist belief? I really can't understand it." The fleet commander asked him.

Zhang Beihai answered decisively: "I don't need a mental imprint; I am the master of my own beliefs."

"Before the Three-Body Crisis, my father and I had seriously considered the nature of this war, and our belief was based on a school of thought, the Future Historians."

"This faction includes many scientists, strategists, military experts, and so on."

The commander thought the Future Historians were a secret organization, but they weren't.

The Futurist school of history was established through a joint meeting and discussion by the official authorities at the time, and in the process, they established the idea that humanity was destined to fail.

"But now, the theories of the Futurist school of history have long been proven wrong," the commander said.

Zhang Beihai said you underestimated them; their predictions have long been verified, such as the Great Underestimation and the Second Enlightenment.

Finally, it is predicted that humanity will inevitably lose this apocalyptic war.

The Asian Commander listened to Zhang Beihai's explanation, but still maintained the same stance: if you don't listen, you won't believe it; humanity cannot be defeated.

"But the Natural Selection you are currently aboard can travel at 15 percent of the speed of light."

"Even the Trisolaran fleet cannot do this."

The fleet commander said.

Zhang Beihai: "Commander, don't you understand?"

"Genghis Khan's cavalry attack speed was comparable to that of armored forces in the early 20th century."

“The range of crossbows in the Song Dynasty reached 1500 meters, which is the same as the range of rifles in the 20th century.”
