The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 556 The Purpose of the Trisolarans

Hearing No. [-]'s inquiry, Jiang Yu smiled and said: "There is no need to destroy all plants, just destroy the plants that may be intelligent or aggressive."

No. [-] said worriedly: "In case tigers become a problem..."

"Is this a tiger? It's just a group of sick cats that we can handle." Jiang Yu said: "But we must always pretend that they are tigers, so that people will always be vigilant.

"When everyone takes the trouble, they will naturally destroy these vegetation spontaneously."

He added: "In times of crisis for mankind, we should try our best to be cruel and put away all the emotions we shouldn't have.

"But when people gradually develop, we must pay attention to the progress of the spiritual level, which is the source of civilization."

Jiang Yu continued: "Although this universe is dark and dangerous, isn't the process of our victory over the universe a kind of romance of life?
"This kind of thinking is a manifestation of human beings' gradual self-confidence, and now we can no longer suppress people's feelings.

"To let everyone challenge the Dark Forest spontaneously, we can't always force everyone to challenge."

On the [-]rd, it reported some progress made by the solar system countries in the past ten years.

The development of material flow engines is much faster than expected, and most warships are already equipped with such engines.

Now the fleet following Jiang Yu is seriously behind.

The design life of warships is between 200 and 500 years, and a large number of warships are eliminated and converted to civilian use.

After all, there is still a large market for nuclear-powered spaceships in the private sector.

Especially for the routes within the galaxy and the routes between adjacent planetary systems, nuclear-powered spaceships still have obvious advantages over matter-flow powered spaceships.

Other industries and technologies have also made significant progress, but not as prominently as the material flow engine.

The construction work of the other [-] provinces is also progressing rapidly, and most of the provinces can already feed back the New World galaxy.

This allows the solar system countries to have more funds to invest in military and scientific research.

Finally, on the third day, it was reported that the plan to fight against the Trisolarans had begun, and the fleet of Starship Earth to build the decoy galaxy had set off.

Jiang Yu suddenly thought: "A long time ago, I had a question, why are the Trisolarans so persistent in colonizing the solar system?
"It stands to reason that after they have the technology to fly at the speed of light, wouldn't it be safer to quietly colonize other planets?

"Why take a huge risk and fight with humans?"

No. [-] said: "Previously, the Strategy Department guessed that the actions of the Trisolarans were a strangulation of human beings.

"When the solar system country is advancing by leaps and bounds, the trisolarans feel a great sense of crisis. If the solar system country is not killed, then human beings are likely to overtake the trisolarans in terms of technology and other aspects!"

Jiang Yu rubbed his temples: "I always feel that such motivation is not enough.

"I suddenly had an idea just now, is it because the life forms in the solar system are more comprehensive that they are so determined to colonize the solar system?
"There used to be Venus, the first life form, the third life form, and the fourth life form like humans.

"If I'm not mistaken, there is likely to be a second-generation life form, but we haven't found it yet.

"We know that the trisolarans have been facing troubles in life. Will such a galaxy be a huge attraction for them?"

No. [-] thought for a few seconds before saying: "It's possible. After all, although Sophon can observe the third and fourth era life forms, he can't do complicated experiments."

Speaking of this, No. 36 was slightly taken aback: "Jiang Shiliu, I, and [-]... At that time, our whole batch of experimental subjects, could it be that the Trisolarans were using ETO to do preliminary biological experiments?

"But the Trisolarans were afraid that too much technology would flow into the earth, so the experiments of the Trisolarans stopped after a while."

Jiang Yu said "hmm": "The three-body star's poisoned apple project back then, I felt like it was covering up something.

"After the human race suffered a major genetic blow, we all thought that the poisonous apple project was just a cover-up for a defect in the immune system.

"It now appears that what they are really trying to conceal is the purpose of these experiments.

"The results of the first round of experiments may have helped them a lot.

"Reminiscent of the information obtained from the Trisolarans, it is probably the result of these experiments that allowed the Trisolarans to find a way to close their own minds, and the predecessor of the 'Earth Organization' came about."

These seemingly abrupt details at the time were all connected, and the more Jiang Yu and No. [-] thought about it, the more they felt that this should be the case.

Then No. [-] raised a question in his mind: "But we have fully developed the solar system back then, why haven't we found any traces of second-era life forms?"

Jiang Yu guessed: "Let me assume again, could the plants on the earth be distant relatives of the life forms of the second era?
"Although Bacteria No. [-] believes that the Tertiary and Quaternary life forms are two completely independent life forms, but on the same planet, the two life forms will definitely learn from each other.

"Perhaps the latecomers must learn from the previous ones. Jiang Que's guess is very reasonable. The Quaternary lifeforms probably borrowed from the Tertiary period lifeforms at the beginning.

"This kind of reference can be regarded as the influence of the life forms of the third era on the life forms of the fourth season.

"Then, will the third and fourth era life forms also learn from the survival mode of the second era life forms? Or have the second era life forms directly influenced the third and fourth era life forms?"

He cleared his throat and said again: "Considering that the life forms of the third era are everywhere on the earth, will the life experience of the second era be the same?
"We're so familiar with them that we keep ignoring them?

"Then the species that fit this conjecture are plants.

"First of all, their cell structure is too different from animal cells, so different that they are not 'born by parents'.

"It has long been recognized in biology that animal cells and plant cells evolved in separate periods.

"But could there have been no periods of divergence at all, and the two species simply descended from different sources?
"In addition, Bacteria No. [-]'s description of the life forms of the second era is tenacious vitality. In terms of vitality, plants are much stronger than animals. At least until now, the limbs of most animals cannot regenerate.

"As for the ability to survive in space, I think it's the gradual changes in the universe that have brought about changes in the life forms of the second era.

"Taking the earth as an example, the living environment on the earth was similar to outer space at the beginning, and then gradually became stable and warm.

"In order to occupy more living space, the life forms of the second era must give up some things."

Jiang Yu finished his guess in one breath, and the two were silent for a long time.

Finally, No. [-] broke the silence: "This conjecture will cause a sensation in the entire biological world."

Jiang Yu waved his hand: "Let the biologists have a headache, I still have to concentrate on preparing for the next visit.

"To be honest, the variety of creatures is really eye-opening."
