Fooling Tomoko into being a system

During the conversation between the three, Li Lin often added some details in Luo Ji's words, which made Thomas Wade realize that the entire plan was probably the work of Li Lin.

Ever since he learned that Li Lin recommended him to Luo Ji as the sword bearer, Thomas Wade kept testing Li Lin during the conversation, trying to analyze what kind of person he was and what kind of threats or reasons he had.

The three of them analyzed and discussed the problems that might arise from the replacement of the designated sword holder throughout the morning, and wrote dozens of pages of reports filled with all kinds of immature ideas.

Li Lin's unconstrained thinking is his most valuable asset. Most of the solutions he comes up with are not executable, but in some aspects they are sharp. Li Lin has long-term planning capabilities that exceed his own.

Then came another discovery.

Thomas Wade saw a special temperament or concept in Luo Ji and Li Lin. That kind of temperament was so special that it was difficult to describe.

After thinking for a long time, four words appeared in Thomas Wade's mind, all things are equal!

Whether it is insects, animals, plants, humans, or Trisolarans, in the eyes of the two of them, there is no boundary, just life.

Thomas Vader didn't know how they formed this concept, but he guessed that it might have something to do with the identity of the sword holder. The mental pressure brought by this identity was far more serious than he imagined.

He was not sure whether he would be like the two of them after taking the sword, even if his motivation was out of love for mankind.

Yes, Thomas Vader knew himself very well. He loved mankind, an extremely rational love, which was completely different from Luo Ji.

In other words, he and Luo Ji are the opposite. He is extremely indifferent to individuals and extremely passionate about mankind as a whole.

Luo Ji had no feelings for human beings and only loved his family.

At present, I only see Li Lin sparing no effort to help Luo Ji, and he is more angry at human civilization.

Thomas Wade then moved into the new living complex and announced to the public that he would become Luo Ji's assistant, helping him deal with some trivial matters. He looked more like a life assistant, so that Luo Ji would have more energy to face the Trisolaris world.

The plan began to be implemented step by step. Luo Ji and Thomas Wade began to investigate conflicts in human society and conducted polls on escapism. Luo Ji began to issue some strange orders that were difficult for the public to understand. Human society was gradually accepting Luo Ji's orders.

People speculated that Luo Ji held the switch that destroyed two civilizations and was under huge psychological pressure, so he issued these strange orders to relieve mental fatigue.

Soon, the coalition government contacted Luo Ji to communicate and asked him if he was mentally stressed or had any problems. They could provide the best psychological experts in the world.

The coalition government was scolded by Luo Ji, but the furious Luo Ji instead asked the coalition government to confirm that there was something wrong with his mental condition.

After discussion, someone proposed to wake up Zhuang Yan and the children to help Luo Ji stabilize his mental state. Home is the softest place and it can definitely help Luo Ji.

However, the proposal of a coalition government was rejected by Luo Ji!

Luo Ji used the excuse provided by Li Lin to respond to the coalition government. The existence of his lover and children would affect his deterrence against the Trisolarans, which would affect the fragile balance between the two civilizations and even destroy them.

The coalition government no longer dared to propose waking up Zhuang Yan and the children, worrying about Luo Ji's mental state all day long.

Luo Ji saw that the coalition government was worried about his status and suggested that they find an heir to replace him, and he was happy to hand over his power.

The coalition government began to pretend to be dead, offering to help Luo Ji complete the strange order, and sidetracked the issue of handing over power.

Luo Ji pretended to be crazy and unreasonable, and began to interfere in the social upbringing of children after giving birth, which touched the nerves of many new humans. However, because of the intimidation brought by the sword holder, no one could refuse Luo Ji.

The coalition government also believed that the order issued by Luo Ji was outrageous, but considering that it was to relieve the mental pressure caused by the sword holder, they suggested to Luo Ji that they could find some dungeons for preliminary experiments. It was not suitable to completely cancel the social support policy now.

Because of the previous riots, many orphans had to be raised by society, so Luo Ji reluctantly agreed.

A few days later, Luo Ji got the results of the escapism poll from Thomas Wade. The situation had changed a lot, and society's understanding of escapism had undergone a huge change.

With the victory of human civilization, Trisolaris had to surrender to human civilization. Not only did it bring out technology, but it also taught with its own hands that the relationship between the two sides was no longer antagonistic, and the earth was no longer a place of death.

All humans are aware of the Dark Forest Theory, and they also know that the universe is full of enemies, and entering the universe is a crazy move.

The biggest obstacle to escapeism is the issue of who leaves and who stays. It is also the issue of abandoning most people. It has also been flipped. Staying on the earth represents safety, but going deep into the universe is more dangerous.

Egoism is no longer the biggest shackle on escapeism.

After several days of discussions between Li and Lin, Luo Ji approached the coalition government and proposed a space expansion plan, which was also called escapeism by another name.

This plan caused an uproar in society as soon as it was proposed by Luo Ji. People had not yet shaken off their previous negative views on escapeism, but after some experts' long-term brainwashing and popular science explanations, their views changed.

Public opinion gradually reversed. Instead of condemning the escape plan, the public began to fear and wished they could hold the earth in their arms.

In this situation, Luo Ji and Thomas Vader immediately proposed a space development plan to the coalition government.

However, what the three of them didn't expect was that there were no longer enough resources on the earth to build a starship, or it could be said that the current resources were not enough and it would take time to mine them.

In addition, during the riots three years ago, the public used laser pistols to attack space elevators and space bases on Earth. The connection between humans and space was interrupted, and the construction of spacecraft became more difficult.

Human civilization is still learning various science and technologies from the Trisolaran world, which may lead to a situation where the spacecraft has been lagging behind for a long time since it was first built.

It would be better to wait for a breakthrough in human technology to create a better spaceship.

Luo Ji and the others were dumbfounded. They could only wait for breakthroughs in human science and technology, and the space development plan stalled.

Luo Ji and the other three were always surrounded by sophons who were monitoring them. Whether it was the designated sword bearer system or the space development plan, they were all useless struggles in the eyes of Trisolaris.

After the Trisolaran civilization obtained the curvature drive engine from Li Lin, human starships were too slow for them and could be chased and destroyed at any time. The biggest threat still came from the dark forest attack that could come at any time above them.

The improvement of human civilization's science and technology is the common expectation of everyone, whether it is the space development plan that Luo Ji or Thomas Vader hopes for.

The Trisolarans want to use the solar system as a raw material processing factory for light-speed spacecraft, and they all rely on the basic science of human civilization.

The gap between human civilization and the Trisolaran world is too big. The Trisolaran world knows that its time is running out, and human civilization is very inefficient in learning from the Trisolaran world.
