From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

But unfortunately, the little broken ball is not the Planetary Council of Trisolaran Earth. Although the United Government has been informed by Si Ye that there are aliens in this universe, their mentality has obviously not completely changed. They are now completely busy appeasing the people and preparing to receive the starship human exchange group mentioned by Si Ye, and they don't care about the source of the strange signal that is noisy in outer space.

Luo Ji, the last wall-facer, still couldn't escape the fate of becoming a member of the exchange group.

Although Luo Ji wanted to have a happy home with his wife and children and never get involved in those troublesome matters again, he actually did so.

But there is no such profession as Wallfacer in the Star Empire. If Luo Ji wants his wife and daughter to maintain a good standard of living, he has to work.

But with his small body, he could easily end up in the hospital if he tried to mine using the traditional method, and the Star Sea Empire didn't need him to teach any cosmic sociology. So before the social structure of the starship humans stabilized, if Luo Ji wanted more rations and money, he could only accept Zhang Beihai's invitation and become a member of the exchange group.

"Is that...Tomoko's signal?"

Leaning against the porthole, Luo Ji looked at Chieko, who had completed her deployment in the Earth's outer orbit with the sound and light effects turned on to the maximum. For some reason, he suddenly felt like laughing.

When they have the upper hand, humans are just bugs in the eyes of the Trisolarans, and human resistance can only be met with the Trisolarans' words: The Lord doesn't care.

But when the offense and defense changed, the Trisolarans' arrogant attitude at first and respectful later made it really hard for people to hold back.

"Theoretically, a high-dimensional sophon can observe the world through higher dimensions, but it seems to be blocked by the shield on Earth... It seems I need to strengthen my understanding of shield technology."

There is endless new knowledge to learn every day, and physicist Ding Yi feels like he is getting younger and younger.

If this exchange group plan was not an opportunity for the Starship humans, it would have been difficult for Zhang Beihai to pull this scientist, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, on board.

"Beihai... Although I shouldn't get involved in these matters, I must say this: the Starship Humanity population currently only has a little over 150 million. If you want to successfully become a member of the Pan-Human Community as a civilization, you, the captains, and Luo Ji need to establish an organization as soon as possible to bring everyone together."

Although the humans on the starship had about 150 million "sparks" that Si Ye had retrieved, they were completely disorganized. Even within the residential station, they did not have a complete and perfect organization to coordinate their efforts, and they were completely passive in accepting the management of the empire.

Ding Yi also saw this problem. Being away from the earth seemed to have ripped out a part of human spirit, and a safe and stable life weakened human fighting spirit. If no further intervention was made, the complete assimilation of the "Spark" human race into humankind was just a matter of whether or not humankind would relax.

This goes against the ideas of Zhang Beihai and other ambitious humans. In order to avoid such ridiculous things as splitting up with only 150 million people, Ding Yi had to remind them that the current starship humans need to clearly elect a leader.

"this…"

Zhang Beihai subconsciously looked at Luo Ji beside him.

The Wallfacer has a huge reputation among the people. Even some "Spark" humans say that it is the Wallfacer's credit that they can get help from the Star Empire. If you want to choose a character that can unite people, Luo Ji seems to be a very good choice.

"Please spare me. People's hearts are unpredictable. I'm already tired enough. Now I just want to spend time with my wife and children."

Luo Ji slumped down on the chair, raising his hands in surrender. Although he didn't say it, it was clear that Luo Ji no longer wanted to be a wall-facer or a leader.

"Actually, many of the old-time dormants are quite good. You can communicate with them."

"... Let's talk about it later. The most urgent matter now is the current exchange group's mission."

Zhang Beihai chose to put the topic aside for the time being and adjusted his expression.

"It's said that this Earth is a brother of ours, but they united more quickly and more purely when faced with natural disasters and doomsday, earning the appreciation and support of the Star Empire. How can we effectively explain to them the depths of the universe and the conflict between civilizations?"

"The Trisolarans will most likely be used as an example and a target. I think we should just give them the chronicles that the Planetary Council has produced."

Luo Ji was clearly aware that this exchange group's mission was not complicated at all. It was clearly a benefit given by the Star Sea Empire to the humans on the starship and the humans on the opposite world.

The two sides will communicate with each other and make up for each other's shortcomings. Then, the starship humans, as the host, will inform the other party of the threats in this universe. Although the starship humans cannot open up immigration due to population issues, it should be basically the same, that is, these projects.

"If that doesn't work, I can just go on stage and tell some stories about the essentials of civilized survival and the law of the dark forest, and that'll be it."

"Technologically, we've suffered greatly from the Sophon blockade for so many years. They're certainly more advanced than us in energy and materials science, but their experience and experience in building spacecraft and planetary bases should still be of some use."

Although Ding Yi knew a lot about the empire's old technology, he obviously couldn't trade the empire's things for the little broken ball in such an occasion.

He could only discuss with the few scientists on the starship for a long time to see which technologies were still valuable to the little ball and could be brought to the table for trading.

"Damn it! Stupid Tomoko! Stupid Trisolaran!"

When the topic of technology being blocked was brought up, Zhang Beihai's calm face couldn't help but twist a little, and Luo Ji even raised his middle finger towards Zhizi, who had transformed into a light bulb outside the porthole.

...

Chapter 277 Exchange and Cooperation (Part )

Although many unexpected events and outcomes had been envisioned, the communication process between the Starship Human Exchange Group and the United Government went unexpectedly smoothly.

Both sides want to join the Pan-Human Community as member states, so they have adopted the most cautious and high-quality attitude when it comes to opportunities to earn performance points, making the negotiations for exchanges and cooperation extremely smooth and successful.

Although Luo Ji had some objections to his identity as a wall-facer being used as a fuss again, under the death stare and the threat of extra money from Political Commissar Zhang, the wall-facer who had to work hard to support his wife and daughter finally compromised.

A lecture on fellow humans from another world began on the ground and in various underground cities. The love-hate relationship between the Trisolarans and the Trisolaran Earth, after being embellished by Luo Ji and polished by AI, began to spread among the people of the United Government.

Although there are still a small group of white leftists who want to question the issue of the alien civilization in Luo Ji's story that must have malicious intentions, the United Government has Si Ye to take precautions in advance, and is now in a wartime state of readiness to deal with crises and does not advocate freedom of speech. Therefore, the sign that the lives of the Trisolarans may be at stake was suppressed as soon as it appeared.

Combined with the record of the Uranus Battle provided by the humans on the starship, that is, the record of 2000 sounds in space, the people of the United Government have raised their level of vigilance against the Three-Body Civilization to the highest level, which makes the exchange group's mission a complete success.

Then we discussed some scientific and technological exchanges.

Just as Ding Yi expected, the united government, which was not yet constrained by any constraints and was united in the face of the disaster, had a very advanced technological level, albeit a little biased, which was much stronger than the starship humans who had lived for two centuries longer.

Therefore, the Starship humans can be said to have put out almost all their best assets in exchange for a scientific research mutual assistance agreement, stipulating that the two human civilizations will complement each other in scientific research and reach new heights together.

The United Government effortlessly acquired the starship technology and planetary base technology accumulated by humans over hundreds of years, and began its own journey of innovation and research and development.

At this point, the exchange and cooperation meeting between the two civilizations was completed. Both civilizations were in a tacit understanding and did not mention the issue of mutual immigration.

After all, on one side is a coalition government with China as its main body, and on the other side is the Asian Union whose predecessor is China. Cultural assimilation is something that the Chinese ancestors were tired of playing with. Both sides are well aware of it, so naturally they are too lazy to mention it.

"Is this the Trisolaran detection equipment? Sophon?"

Zhou Zhezhi looked at the image information sent back by the defense space station and asked Luo Ji, a consultant hired by the United Government, who was standing beside him.

In fact, as Luo Ji is the benchmark in the Starship Humanity's "Spark" plan, Zhang Beihai and others should not agree to this request, but the United Government's bid was too high, and it was the common currency of the Star Empire, so Luo Ji was forced to stay.

As for how the Union Government would have extra Imperial currency to hire advisors...

The United Government provided Si Ye with a group of chefs proficient in various cuisines, and signed a contract with Si Ye regarding an ecological protection zone for food ingredients and a stable supply of food ingredients. In exchange for becoming the designated canteen of the Emperor of Xinghai, the government successfully obtained a grant from the Emperor's treasury.

"Yes, it's Sophon. Originally there were supposed to be three solar systems, but now it looks like there might only be one left."

The little broken ball was trying to move away from the solar system at a steady speed. The planetary shield sophons did not dare to touch it. It could only fly in front of the earth like a big light bulb, constantly repeating various human country languages, trying to stop humans from having the crazy idea of ​​moving the earth away.

In the eyes of the Trisolarans, the Earth is still within the solar system, so the wake formed by the planetary engine pushing the Earth is not yet obvious. But if the Earth really flies out of the solar system, in the deep abyss of the Trisolaran universe, it is only a matter of time before this behavior is discovered by hunters of advanced civilizations, and it is only a matter of time before the Earth and human civilization perish.

Please stop, we can talk.

Sophon was still tirelessly conveying information to the Earth, but overnight, humans had no secrets from Sophon, but suddenly the world changed and Sophon couldn't even enter the Earth's atmosphere, which made Luo Ji smile.

"The Trisolaran civilization, because the Alpha Centauri system is too harsh, wants to obtain Earth and the solar system for survival. This really aligns with what Consultant Luo said about the essence of civilizational survival."

In fact, in the original universe of the little broken ball, there was no triple star system in Centaurus, but a binary star system plus an independent star. No one knows what happened to Centaurus in the Three-Body Universe that turned it into a chaotic and disordered triple star system. Perhaps it was the malice of the Creator?

"If we want to send a message to each other, how can we do it safely?"

The United Government is still wary of the peculiar existence of Sophon, a higher-dimensional being. However, remaining silent and pretending to be dead can easily affect morale. In order to show the spirit of humanity, an appropriate response is still needed.

"That's really a question I don't know much about. Our original Earth didn't have any planetary shield technology. Sophon can appear anywhere they want. If they want to communicate, all they have to do is shout into the sky."

Luo Ji shrugged helplessly. Ever since the existence of Sophon on Earth, humans have no secrets in front of this high-dimensional ghost. Otherwise, there would not be the Wallfacer, a plan that relies on the human brain to keep secrets.

"MOSS suggests releasing the guard space station and projecting light signals to send messages. The enemy is nothing more than a supercomputer engraved in a higher dimension. If the enemy attempts to invade the space station host, MOSS has a 101% chance of winning."

MOSS stated its plan. Even if Sophon could rely on high-dimensional expansion to play tricks, it was still just a computer. Once it was dragged into the simplest and most simple computing power competition of a supercomputer, MOSS, which now had the support of dozens of quantum computer clusters, did not think that the other party would be its opponent.

After all, although the characteristics of quantum entanglement allow the sophon to receive and send information with almost no delay, there is not enough channel bandwidth to transmit computing power. Even if the Three-Body Civilization may have more powerful supercomputer technology, it cannot be added to the sophon. When a single supercomputer fights against a quantum computer array, the outcome is self-evident.

"Then respond to the other party and ask it to stop creating light pollution in front of the Earth."

The order was given, and a guard space station flew out of the isolation layer of the planetary shield and began to send information using the simplest light signal.

[Please stop, you will destroy the hard-earned habitable planet]

The United Government's psychological think tank combined the information provided by the humans on the starship and quickly analyzed the psychological state of the Trisolarans.

If it weren't for the planetary shield technology donated by Si Ye, according to the original plan to move mountains, large areas of land on the stopped Earth would definitely be submerged, and then as it moved away from the sun, it would turn into an ice ball. Restoring the ecology would be a very troublesome task. The Trisolarans were undoubtedly just worried that humans would destroy the Earth, which they regarded as their second home.

"The Earth belongs to humanity. Humanity can take it wherever it wants. It is not the place of aliens to tell us what to do."

After analyzing the Trisolaran mentality, the United Government gave a response.

【you…】

Faced with this kind of deterrence from humans that is not a deterrent, the Trisolarans really have no temper, but fortunately, the Trisolaran leader is very far-sighted and has made some backup plans.

[Please stop immediately, otherwise we will have to take unilateral measures.]

No one knew what kind of information or orders Tomoko had received, but her tone changed from pleading to tough, which made the coalition government's eyelids twitch.

The speed of changing his face is really not from my tribe, his heart must be different.

"If you take any action that goes against the interests of humanity, we will regard it as declaring war."

Chieko didn't say anything, and Gao Wei's expanded body quickly shrank.

Although the Trisolarans probably guessed that the Earth might have changed people or even the planet, they had not yet comprehended the mysteries of the universe, and there was nothing they could do about some incomprehensible things that happened. Their top priority now was to protect the only habitable planet around them.

...

Chapter 278 Final Deterrence, but the Trisolaran Version

What gives the Trisolarans confidence is a drop of water.

Of course, it is not the batch of water droplets that just departed from the mother planet of the Three-Body Civilization. The Three-Body Civilization has been carefully releasing water droplets around to expand the warning range.

After the water droplet on its way to the solar system lost contact due to the blind spot of the sophon, there happened to be a water droplet nearby that was relatively close to the solar system. So this water droplet began to turn and head towards the solar system as a backup means. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.

"That is?"

Sensing Sophon's attack intention, the observatory also discovered the rapidly approaching object. The escort space station quickly retracted into the planetary shield, and the columnar bodies of the twelve escort space stations in the right wing firing range began to open like petals, revealing several launch ports composed of a composite of cylindrical structures.

Si Ye felt that the little ball was safe with the secret protection of the Imperial Fleet, so he did not provide it with combat equipment.

Therefore, the coalition government combined the speculation of think tanks and independently produced some defensive weapons that they felt were suitable for space warfare, which were actually somewhat abstract.

First of all, of course, there is the classic masterpiece of mankind: the nuclear bomb.

The launch port on the side of the guard space station is equipped with several nuclear missiles. Although the shock wave and secondary radiation of the nuclear bomb in space are minimal, the nuclear fireball produced by the high temperature and light radiation impact can still produce some effect.

The wings of the escort space station are equipped with a very simple close-in defense weapon, the plasma jet, which is manufactured with reference to the ground planetary engine. It is essentially a by-product of the small and medium-sized heavy fusion reactor of the escort space station. It can spray high-temperature plasma within a range of 20-40 kilometers and play a close-in defense role.

The only thing that looks more like something is the mega laser launcher, which is the cylindrical body guarding the bottom of the space station. This was originally a laser array used to defend against meteorites or debris. It was moved into space by the United Government and serves as the most powerful lethal weapon of the small destroyer at this stage.

But these equipments are obviously just like human spaceships facing water droplets, and it is difficult for them to have any effective effect.
