Wandering planet that will travel

This political system is rooted in the Western system of separation of powers. It is to allow the three major fleets to restrain and balance each other, and then let the earth get rid of military disputes and become a relatively neutral existence.

If it was to restore peace to Earth, it did, but instead of resolving the conflict, it moved it into space.

Therefore, the three major fleets still often do some stupid things in order to compete for fame and fortune. For example, this time, all the interstellar warships are sent to intercept a probe of the Trisolaran civilization, and they also need to adopt a dense formation for inspection. Unwilling to give up the forced landing on the Trisolaran civilization, this great historical feat, was set up in order to ensure the fairness of the opportunity to participate in the war.

Sometimes Qiao Lv suspects that what Sophon is locking up is not the technological development of human civilization, but the progress of the political system.

The human civilization in the Three-Body Problem is always in a rather naive state politically, including the selection of a sword-bearer and Cheng Xinlai later on, which can be described as a victory for populism.

After confirming that nothing in Earth orbit could pose a threat to the Ark, the Wandering Earth Investigation Team officially began to land.

The airdrop capsule disguised as space junk entered the atmosphere, kicking off the exploration of the Trisolaran world.

Chapter 6 and Nine? The First Attack

Qiao Lv's airdrop capsule landed in a desert, the sand covered everything on the ground, even the sky was yellow, and only a blurred sun could be seen.

Although the visibility in the dusty air is not high, the outlines of some buildings can still be seen in the distance. They are cities submerged in yellow sand, which proves that this is indeed the earth.

"No wonder you want to live in a space city. How has the surface environment been destroyed?"

It wasn't that he wanted to choose a remote place to land, but that most of the earth's surface was already covered by sand, and the degree of desertification was comparable to the planet Tatooine in Star Wars, and the other investigation teams were basically in the same situation.

Acting with him are Liu Peiqiang, 2B and Bumblebee, all of whom are Qiao Lv's old partners.

They were not surprised by the sight in front of them. After all, they had traveled through so many planes, and they had seen all kinds of Earth.

Liu Peiqiang said: "The nearest oasis is five kilometers away. It is possible to find residents. Let's go and have a look."

The Bumblebee transformed into a Chevrolet sports car after a long absence. After all, this is a very classic model. It is estimated that in the eyes of people of this era, it looks like a classic car at best.

More importantly, the bumblebee can also turn into other vehicles encountered on the road, which is perfect as a means of concealing transportation.

Both Liu Peiqiang and 2B got into the car, only Qiao Lu suddenly turned his gaze to the distance, but there was nothing there except the endless yellow sand.

"What's wrong?" 2B asked with concern.

"Nothing, just an illusion."

For a moment, Qiao Lv felt a certain sight, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

He couldn't tell what was going on, even with his perception ability, he couldn't detect anything around him.

If this is not an illusion, there is only one explanation——

Tomoko has found them!

The bumblebee galloped through the boundless desert with the three of them, dragging a long tail of dust behind them, trudging forward in the yellow sand.

Dust billowed outside the car window, and it was only when we approached the oasis that we could occasionally see vehicles passing by in the distance.

Obviously not powered by gasoline, the cars come in all shapes and sizes, new and old, but they all have one thing in common: They all have a sunshade-like sheet on the roof.

In short, the Bumblebee also does as the Romans do, and also imitates and deforms an awning on the roof, so that it looks the same as other cars, at least it will not arouse suspicion.

Not long after, the car finally came to a dilapidated road with street lights on both sides.

In front of the road was an oasis surrounded by sparse woods. This was the first stop for Qiao Lv and the others, hoping to find a few residents.

The car drove into an oasis, which is a residential area surrounded by anti-sand forests. The sign next to it said "New Life Five Villages", which seemed to be a place where people really lived.

This place is no different from that at the beginning of the 21st century. There are rows of familiar six-story residential buildings. In the open space in front of the buildings, there are old people sitting on stone benches playing chess and mothers pushing baby carriages, growing out of the sand. On the sparse lawn, there are a few children playing football...

If the entire residential area is not surrounded by anti-sand forest, it really makes people think that they have returned to that era.

Qiao Li planned to collect information here first, but before they stopped the car, a group of people rushed out, surrounded them, and shouted at Qiao Li and the others:

"Get out! Hands up!"

This group of people holds laser pistols in their hands. It seems that citizens in this era have the freedom to legally own weapons. Of course, they are also free to live and die randomly.

They all looked a little nervous, and even the hand holding the gun was shaking.

Based on this, Qiao Li can conclude that they are either trained policemen or soldiers, or thugs with legal weapons.

"Well, it seems that I was wrong. Now the Americans are in charge of managing the earth." Liu Peiqiang continued the previous joke.

"Anyway, just do what they say."

Qiao Li raised his hands in cooperation with getting off the car, he didn't want to cause trouble for the time being.

At this time, two policemen rushed to the scene and quickly pulled out their guns to try to control the situation.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

The leader of the thugs grinned and said: "Officer, it's just in time, we caught a group of ETO remnants!"

ETO, the full name of the "Earth Trisolaran Organization", is simply a human spy who leads the way for the Trisolarans. The most famous slogan is: "Eliminate human tyranny, the world belongs to the Trisolarans!"

However, Qiao Lu and the others have just arrived, so how could they be some ETO remnants?How did these people get it wrong?

The two policemen also persuaded: "Don't be kidding! ETO was wiped out a century ago, put down the gun!"

"No, I saw it, and they saw it too! Don't you think so!"

The thug still refused to give up, and his companions also expressed their support, and the scene became tense for a while.

Qiao Li asked curiously, "What did you see?"

However, just such a sentence seemed to anger them, and the thug shouted: "Shut up, traitor!", and pulled the trigger.

Seeing that the other party was really going to commit murder, Qiao Lu had no choice but to take action.

He quickly kicked off the laser pistol in the opponent's hand, and let the emitted laser beam fly towards the sky, extending all the way to the end of the sky.

This action directly ignited the powder keg, and other thugs also tried to open fire, but Liu Peiqiang and 2B were not standing still.

Liu Peiqiang threw a crisp over-the-shoulder throw, disarming his opponent while knocking him to the ground.

2B quickly dodged to avoid the shooting of the man in front of him, turned around and punched him ten meters away.

Before the remaining two could react, they were kicked by 2B for a three-stage mid-air kick and broke their arms, falling to the ground and moaning in pain.

If Qiao Li hadn't warned 2B not to kill easily, they might not even have a chance to moan.

The matter ended in a blink of an eye. After all, with Qiao Lv's skills, they didn't need to be serious about dealing with a few gun-wielding thugs.

On the other hand, the two policemen on the side were stunned, and even forgot that they were here to solve the case.
