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

Chapter 123 Control
Hong Haifeng replied: "At present, the space city that appears in the game "Three-Body Problem" is our only reference, so we have collected relevant information and asked every player who has experienced Civilization 193.

"In the end we found that the space city that appeared in the game seems to be too huge.

"I don't know if this is misleading us? Or they have had other space cities before this."

Another expert added: "Because the game has not revealed the internal structure of the space city, there are actually not many places for us to refer to."

Hearing the frustration in the tone of the two people, Jiang Yu almost blurted out: "Seeing that you are in such a difficult situation, I am relieved!"

During this inspection, Jiang Yu didn't get the information he wanted. After chatting with everyone for more than an hour, he got up to leave.

As soon as he returned to the Star Defense Department, Chang Weisi suddenly came to Jiang Yu: "I heard you want to hibernate?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Yes, you can't waste your life."

Chang Weisi said: "Go to my place before hibernation, and help me boost my morale."

Jiang Yu asked Chang Weisi to sit down: "No problem, I've already made an offer before."

"I'll give it to you after you wake up!" Chang Weisi said with a smile, "You're going to hibernate in just a few days. How can you finish two cigarettes?"

After the two chatted for a while, Jiang Yu followed Chang Weisi to the headquarters of the Space Force.

It is said to be the headquarters, but it is actually not a big place. After all, the current space force has just started, and so far there are only a few dozen chefs in the cafeteria.

Just when the Space Force was about to hold a small meeting, Jiang Yu followed Chang Weisi to attend the meeting.

When Jiang Yu saw the officers wearing brand-new military uniforms of the Space Force, he was somewhat moved. Who would have imagined that a military branch had such a small number of people at the beginning of its establishment.

Zhang Beihai was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. The other officers all had somewhat melancholy expressions, only Zhang Beihai could still see some vitality on his face.

At the beginning of the meeting, Chang Weisi pointed to Jiang Yu and introduced: "This is my old colleague, everyone should know him, one of the five wall-facers.

"I brought him here today because I hope everyone can communicate with him, do you understand by analogy?"

Everyone applauds and welcomes.

When the applause stopped, Jiang Yu said: "On the way here, I was thinking about it, what should I say?

"I have never been a soldier, and I don't know how far everyone's vision of the Space Force has come, so I can only talk about my views on the Space Force based on my profession.

"In the future, especially after our base is built to the outer reaches of the solar system, everyone knows that there will be delays in communication.

"And in terms of distance, the journey between each other can take months or even years.

"So, have you ever thought about how the headquarters located on the earth can control the space army far away?"

Everyone looked at each other, and an officer asked: "Is it possible for our fleet to reach such a distance?"

"How is it impossible?" Jiang Yu asked with a smile, "Who is sitting in the navy before?"

Half of the people including Zhang Beihai raised their hands.

Jiang Yu said: "In the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the navy was just established, and the ships were the enemy ships that received the uprising.

"We bought it later, but it didn't take long before we started building it.

"When the navy was first established, the ancestors should have imagined that we would build our own aircraft carrier, right?

"After more than 60 years, won't this wish come true!

"Now we have more than 400 years at our disposal, so much more can be done!"

An officer said: "That's different. At that time, we could learn from the development history of other countries' navies, but now, we have nothing to learn from."

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "The first modern navy on earth is less than 400 years old. Can the navies at the beginning imagine that there will be nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers in more than three centuries?"

Jiang Yu clapped his hands: "The establishment of the Space Force heralds a new beginning, and everyone is the founder of this beginning.

"If you don't have confidence in yourself, I suggest you take a look at the history of the Republic and review those indomitable spirits.

"For a latecomer country, the road to catch up is a process of overcoming obstacles.

"Our current situation is the same as it was at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. We are chasing the Trisolarans. Don't make the problem too complicated."

Zhang Beihai took the lead in applauding, and Jiang Yu's words touched many people.

Yes, the current situation of human beings is so similar to that at the beginning of the founding of the country!

After the applause ended, Jiang Yu said again: "Then, back to our initial question, how to command the space force far away in the sky?

"It stands to reason that this travel time is similar to the situation when the West first established American colonies.

"Westerners must say they have experience, but is their experience useful?
"We must know that in the age of great voyages, the land area of ​​the western powers is not large, and they have never had the experience of governing the country from a large distance.

"Look at us again, is Xinjiang far away? During the Han Dynasty, part of Xinjiang was the territory of the Han Dynasty.

"Is Yunnan far from Beijing? With the speed of transmission of information at that time, it would take more than half a month to go from Yunnan to Beijing, right?
"The control of Yunnan is still in the hands of Beijing!"

Jiang Yu straightened his body and said: "So, instead of learning the control methods of the colonies, it is better to find inspiration from ourselves.

"In ancient times, the frontier garrison was very slow to transmit information to the capital, but the military power was firmly in the hands of the emperor.

"Although the space journey in the future is very long, the transmission of messages can be completed within a day or two. Compared with the ancient military system, we have certain advantages in the future."

Chang Weisi smiled and said: "It seems that we need to find some historians to help us make up lessons!"

Everyone also laughed.

Jiang Yu smiled and continued: "Anyway, no matter when, an army with a unified command is the basis for our victory."

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and they all felt very novel about what Jiang Yu said, and they had never thought about it before.

Originally, Jiang Yu wanted to talk about his views on the tactics and tactics of the Space Force, but thinking that speaking out might hurt everyone's confidence, which was contrary to today's purpose, he decided not to talk about it.

Because fighting in space, it is difficult to find cover, and the three dimensions can be seen at a glance. At this time, the weapons of both sides are fighting.

And the earth's technology is locked, and the weapons of the space army will obviously be much weaker than the trisolarans.

Maybe the Earth Space Force thinks that it has already entered the attack range of others before it reaches the battlefield.

Fortunately, although the technology of the earth is different from that of the Trisolarans, it is not so different. If they encounter a warship like "Singer", they will die without knowing how.

After the small meeting ended, Jiang Yu chatted in Chang Weisi's office.

While talking, Chang Weisi suddenly sighed: "Can you tell me where your belief in victory comes from?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback: "Why did you add the word 'we'?"

"Zhang Beihai, like you, also has the belief that he must win, but I can't imagine where your belief comes from."
