Man in the Three-Body Problem: After facing the wall, I founded the Reception Society!
Chapter 61 The Law of the Dark Forest of the Universe!
[After this chapter ends, return to reality! ]
Taylor, Su Ze, and Luo Ji, the fictional character created by Su Ze, the three Wallfacers were now concentrating on staring at the sphere formed by the unfolding of the sophons.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, everything around lost its color and sound, leaving only these three spheres, quietly suspended in the air.
Suddenly, the same two words appeared on the three spheres at the same time: Stop!
Luo Ji showed a contemptuous smile on his face. He had expected that even the so-called advanced civilizations could not truly ignore the threat of ants.
He raised his head and said with a firm look: "Now, can I negotiate terms?"
The text on the sphere changed rapidly, showing: "Before this, you must put down your gun first, and then negotiate."
Luo Ji shook his head gently, his tone firm and slow: "For my life, you must agree to my request first."
The words on the sphere changed again: "What is your request?"
Luo Ji took a deep breath and said slowly: "Tell your water drop to stop sending signals to the sun."
Almost as soon as Luo Ji finished speaking, the sphere displayed: "Completed."
Luo Ji hadn't even reacted yet, but he could feel the oppressive feeling that had originally enveloped his heart disappear in an instant.
He continued his request: "Let your water droplets change course and fly away from the solar system."
This time, the words on the sphere did not respond as quickly as before. After a few seconds, the sphere slowly displayed: "We have done as you said."
Luo Ji narrowed his eyes, trying to find any possible signs of deception from the sphere. But he knew that at this moment, he could only rely on his own deterrent power to ensure the sincerity of the Three-Body World.
He took a deep breath and stated his last condition.
"And the Trisolaran fleet is forbidden to cross the Oort Cloud!"
The text on the sphere paused for a few seconds, as if considering the feasibility of this request.
Finally, the sphere showed: "The fleet is now at maximum acceleration propulsion power and cannot reduce the relative speed to zero."
Luo Ji had expected such an answer. He said calmly, "It will be like your water droplets, turning and passing through the solar system."
The text on the sphere changed again: "The result is still a dead end, because outside the solar system, there is a high probability that it will be a desolate space, and the ecological circulation system of our fleet will collapse."
Luo Ji said calmly: "It's not necessarily a dead end. There will be other spacecraft that can rescue them in the future."
The sphere seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion. After a few seconds, it displayed: "This requires the order of the Three Body Leader."
Luo Ji said calmly, "Then let's turn first. Anyway, there is still a long time before we completely leave the solar system, so we have to complete the negotiations first."
After about three minutes, the sphere finally responded.
Words slowly appeared on the sphere: "The Trisolar Fleet will begin turning in 10 minutes of Blue Planet time. In 30 minutes, the human space observation system will be able to see the change in course."
Seeing this answer, Luo Ji slowly moved the pistol away from his chest.
He felt a wave of weakness coming over him, as if some of his energy had been drained away after reaching this negotiation.
He used his hands to support the tombstone to prevent himself from falling down.
He knew that he had just secured a glimmer of hope for Blue Star. Although the road ahead was still full of unknowns and dangers, at least at this moment, he had succeeded in temporarily stopping the invasion of the Trisolaran World.
Luo Ji closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He knew that this negotiation was just the beginning and the real challenge was yet to come.
But he is ready. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, he will persevere and fight for the future of Blue Star!
……
Taylor and Su Ze, who were standing by, quietly witnessed the entire negotiation process.
Taylor's eyes were full of doubt and confusion, while Suze had a smile on his face, as if he had already seen through everything.
Su Ze looked at Taylor's confused look and sighed inwardly.
He knew that Taylor had not read the original book, so he was naturally confused about what was happening before his eyes.
But Su Ze was different. He had already read all of this in the original book, so he was not surprised by what Luo Ji did.
Taylor frowned as he watched Luo Ji talking to the Trisolaran sphere, and asked in confusion, "What does this mean? Why is the Trisolaran civilization so afraid of Luo Ji after he just connected his life to that so-called signal radiator?"
Su Ze said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, what they fear is not Luo Ji himself, but the more advanced civilization behind him."
Taylor was even more confused after hearing this: "A more advanced civilization? Could it be that Luo Ji is actually a representative elected by a mysterious organization or civilization like you?"
Suze smiled and did not directly answer Taylor's question.
He knew that some things could not be explained in a few words.
Besides, he didn't want Taylor to know too much about himself.
After all, in this world full of unknowns and dangers, maintaining a certain sense of mystery can better protect yourself and your friends.
Taylor looked at Suze's smile and became even more confused.
He felt that Su Ze and Luo Ji were full of mystery and powerful aura, just like the Three-Body Civilization, making people feel both mysterious and terrifying.
Perhaps the only good news is that they are on the side of humans.
……
At this time, Luo Ji continued: "In fact, you had many opportunities to see through me. For example, during the snow project, I was always very concerned about the precise position of the nuclear bomb in the solar orbit."
The sphere also recalled the scene at that time: "You stayed alone in the control room for two months to fine-tune the ion engine on the remote-controlled nuclear bomb. At that time, we just thought you were escaping reality through meaningless work, and we didn't think that this had any meaning to the distance between the nuclear bomb and the distance between the nuclear bomb and the ion engine. "
Luo Ji leaned against the tombstone and sighed softly: "Yes, there was still a chance. At that time, I consulted a group of physicists about the unfolding of sentences in space. If Eto was still there, they would have seen through my intentions long ago."
The Trisolaran sphere admitted frankly: "Yes, we shouldn't abandon them."
Luo Ji smiled and said, "Also, I requested to build this strange cradle trigger system during the snow project."
The sphere replied, "This reminds us of Rey Diaz, but we didn't think much about it. Rey Diaz was not a threat to us at the time, and the same was true for the other two Wallfacers, so we transferred our contempt for them to you as well."
Luo Ji shook his head seriously: "This is exactly the reason for your failure. The three wall-facers are all great strategists. They all know that mankind will fail in the end of the world."
Taylor couldn't help but feel a surge of respect in his heart as he listened to Luo Ji's words.
He began to understand why Luo Ji was able to become a Wallfacer, and why he was able to contain the powerful Three-Body Civilization in such a simple way.
Only with this attitude of never looking down on others nor feeling inferior to oneself can one become a qualified wall-facer.
Su Ze looked at Taylor's changing expression and felt a little relieved.
He knew that Taylor had begun to understand the truth of this world.
As the negotiations continued, the conversation between Luo Ji and the Trisolaran sphere became more and more in-depth.
Taylor and Suze stood quietly by, watching everything silently.
The sphere rotated slowly, as if thinking about every word of Luo Ji.
The negotiation finally began, and Luo Ji felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
He took a deep breath and released the depression that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time: "I am indeed no longer a wallfacer. My mission has been completed."
There was a hint of relief in his words, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
The sphere seemed to understand his feelings and said slowly: "As a Wallfacer, your contribution is enormous. But the door to negotiations is open. Are you willing to offer some suggestions?"
Luo Ji fell into deep thought, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "We need a more advanced and reliable signal transmission system. In this way, humans can expose their coordinates at any time and protect themselves. At the same time, the technological blockade imposed by the water droplets on us must also be lifted. The existing system is too primitive and not safe enough."
The sphere seemed to consider his suggestion, and after a moment replied, "We can assist in setting up a neutrino emission system, which will provide more accurate and faster signal transmission."
However, Luo Ji shook his head: "Humans are more inclined to gravitational waves. After the sophon blockade, this is the only field in which human physics has made significant progress. They need a system that can understand its principles, rather than relying solely on external forces."
The sphere seemed to be in a dilemma: "But the gravitational wave antenna is huge, which may be a huge challenge for humans."
Luo Ji didn't care: "That's a problem you need to solve. To be honest, I feel like I'm no longer a pure individual. I just want to get rid of all this as soon as possible."
The sphere was silent for a while, as if thinking about Luo Ji's words.
Finally, it said slowly: "If you insist on such a request, then they are likely to make more excessive demands. For example, let us teach science and technology comprehensively."
Luo Ji smiled slightly, seeming to be unconcerned: "This is also a good thing for you, right? Your science is developing at a constant speed. Now two centuries have passed, and your follow-up fleet has not shown any improvement in speed. If you want to save the Trisolaran fleet that has deviated from its course, I'm afraid you can only rely on humans who have broken through the blockade."
The sphere fell into deeper thought, as if weighing the pros and cons of this negotiation.
In the endless space of the universe, the dialogue between the two civilizations seems to have become delicate and tense.
Finally, the sphere made a decision. It slowly replied, "Can you really go back by yourself? If you die, both civilizations will be buried with you."
Luo Ji smiled softly, and he stood up with his weak body, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Okay, I feel much better now. When I go back, I will hand over the cradle system, and from now on I will have nothing to do with all this. Finally, I want to say thank you."
The sphere seemed a little surprised: "Why?"
Luo Ji stared at it, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you for letting me survive. Sometimes, if we change the way we think, we can all live better."
The sphere seemed to be touched by these words. It was silent for a while, then slowly said: "At the same time, we are also grateful to the Dark Forest Law of the Universe, which allows the coexistence of our two civilizations."
Luo Ji nodded. He knew that although this law was cruel, it was also the key to the coexistence of the two civilizations.
The bottom of the sphere gradually disappeared and returned to the microscopic state of 11 dimensions.
The moment the sphere disappeared, the entire universe seemed to become quiet.
Just at this moment, the sun appeared from the east, and its golden light fell on this world that had just been reborn from destruction.
The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds onto the earth, and everything seems so peaceful and beautiful.
Luo Ji shielded the sunlight with his hands and took a deep look at the tombstones of Ye Wenjie and Yang Dong, two great scientists who sacrificed their lives for the future of mankind.
His heart was filled with respect and emotion, and then he staggered away along the path he came from.
Behind the tombstone, Taylor and Su Ze quietly watched Luo Ji's departing back.
They have different feelings in their hearts.
As someone who has read all the plots of the original novel, Su Ze's mood at this moment is relatively calm.
He knew that all this was developing according to the established plot. Although the process was thrilling, the ending was already predetermined.
However, Taylor was full of doubts.
He didn't know what the Dark Forest Law was, nor did he understand why this law allowed two civilizations to coexist.
He looked at Su Ze next to him. Since this environment was created by the other party, he must know something.
He couldn't help but ask, "What is the Dark Forest Law that Luo Ji just mentioned?"
Su Ze turned his head and looked at Taylor's confused eyes. He knew that he needed to explain this rule.
So he began to explain the meaning of the Dark Forest Law to Taylor in simple and easy-to-understand language.
He said: “The Dark Forest Principle is a cosmic sociological theory that states that every civilization in the universe is a potential threat because every civilization is constantly expanding and developing.
The resources in the universe are limited, so every civilization will compete for these resources in order to survive.
Therefore, in the universe, every civilization is like a hunter in a dark forest, carefully hiding itself while also looking for traces of other civilizations.
Once the existence of other civilizations is discovered, they will attack without hesitation to eliminate potential threats.”
After listening to Su Ze's explanation, Taylor's mind suddenly became clear.
He understood why the Dark Forest Law allowed the two civilizations to coexist, and he also understood why Luo Ji was grateful for this law.
In the universe, every civilization is lonely, but also dangerous.
Only by understanding and abiding by the laws of the Dark Forest can we survive in this universe full of unknowns and dangers.
