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

Chapter 185 The Beginning of the Great Trough

Both Zhao Yun and Lu Qingfeng have aged to varying degrees in the past eight years, but both of them are in good spirits.

Zhao Yun explained to Jiang Yu: "Brexit was completed three years ago, and it was considered by Western society as a failure of the democratic system, which accelerated everyone's move towards centralization.

"The whole thing started with the reaction of British capitalist forces against the authoritarian will at home and in the EU.

"In order to deal with the invasion of Trisolarans, the member states of the European Union have strengthened their cooperation with each other, and there is a tendency to move closer to a unified country.

"At the same time, all EU member states are stepping up their suppression of domestic capital forces.

"Britain's capital power is deeply entrenched. In order to avoid losing power in the process of further centralization of power in the EU, they launched the public opinion machine, which led to the Brexit of the whole people.

"And the majority of British citizens who support Brexit don't actually know what a heavy price they will have to pay for Brexit."

Lu Qingfeng went on to say: "Another incident that disappointed the democratic system of various countries is the incident of Japan's discharge of nuclear waste water into the Pacific Ocean.

"Not long after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident more than ten years ago, Japan began to discharge simply treated wastewater into the Pacific Ocean. There is evidence that this incident has caused some marine organisms to mutate!

"At this time, everyone remembered the Chernobyl incident in the last century. Although the incident has been scolded by everyone for decades, the bureaucratic system of the Soviet Union did indeed cover up the incident.

"However, when the Central Committee of the Soviet Union realized the seriousness of the problem, it immediately concentrated the efforts of the whole country to solve the incident.

"When the evacuation was carried out, the state sent vehicles, and the people were not allowed to figure out their own way, and tens of 10 people participated in the rescue process of the incident.

"The solution is very scientific, and everyone is taking it seriously."

"On the other hand, Japan's approach is very disappointing. The government has been urging the power company to resolve the incident.

"And the only way to solve this incident is to inject seawater for cooling, and what's going on with the core of the nuclear power plant, even they themselves don't know yet."

Jiang Yu was also a little surprised: "It's been more than ten years, and the problem of the core of the nuclear power plant has not been solved yet?"

Zhao Yun sighed: "There is a problem with Japan's settlement mechanism, let the power company solve it, and they will definitely want the most cost-effective solution.

"The solution is to use seawater to cool the core, and then store the nuclear wastewater.

"Later, they didn't even want to spend the money to store the nuclear wastewater, and after simple treatment, or even no treatment, it was discharged into the sea.

"It was not until certain mutations occurred in marine life that Japan agreed to the involvement of PDC countries in the investigation."

Jiang Yu asked: "Then what specific plan does the Japanese government have?"

Lu Qingfeng laughed and said, "Is bowing everywhere a plan?

"Hey, the key officials in power in Japan are basically descendants of war criminals.

"Expect them to think about the world's ecological environment?
"They are going to implicate the Japanese people again, and once again bear the eternal infamy."

Zhao Yun leaned on the back of the chair, frowned and said: "So this incident is also called a loophole in the democratic system, and some people even think that democratic countries should not use nuclear power plants.

"Because they simply don't have the ability to solve the problems caused by nuclear power plants."

Lu Qingfeng said seriously: "If there were no threats from the Trisolarans, and if centralization of power was not the general trend, countries would not criticize Britain's Brexit and Japan's actions in this way.

"Generally speaking, Western countries are using these two incidents as a reason for further centralization."

Jiang Yu sighed: "It is conceivable that such centralization has huge side effects!"

Lu Qingfeng said: "We also have similar conclusions, the West has no experience in operating this system.

"They sent people to China to study, only to find that we are not as dictatorial as they have been promoting before, but our government functions are more refined than theirs.

"As a last resort, they even started to send people from North Korea to learn."

This Jiang Yu was surprised: "I never thought that these Westerners are so eager to learn!"

Then he shook his head and said: "Society's progress is gradual, if they are so anxious, [-]% or [-]% will lead to overcorrection!
"It's hard to imagine what it would be like if the whole world became a dictatorship."

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the answer had already been placed in front of him: "Big trough!"

Neither Lu Qingfeng nor Zhao Yun understood: "What?"

"It's nothing," Jiang Yu said, "The appearance of the Trisolarans has completely interrupted the progress of the East and West.

"In particular, it may make the East abandon the previous concept of 'authoritarian democracy' and fall into the same logic trap as the West.

"No democracy is dictatorship, and no dictatorship is democracy. It completely loses the practicality and diversity of ideas in governing the country."

Zhao Yun and Lu Qingfeng looked at each other. They didn't expect to think so deeply about this point.

Jiang Yu thought for more than half a minute before saying: "I will give your group a new task, from now on to collect the ideas and methods of governing the country in modern China, and bind them into a book for emergencies.

"Don't do that kind of textbook thing, you must have enough cases, and you must find the essence and contradictions of various huge measures.

"Let me give you an example, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam was to create a stable situation for China at that time, which could carry out reform and opening up.

"Don't be like a textbook, just highlighting Vietnam's treachery and border harassment.

"It is necessary to express Deng Gong's political wisdom with a global perspective, and not make it look like a regional conflict."

Lu Qingfeng and Zhao Yun said together: "We understand."

Jiang Yu sighed: "This report should be called "Oriental Political Legacy"! This is the precious wealth left by our East to the future world!"

Lu Qingfeng and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and they could feel that Jiang Yu, the Wallfacer, seemed to be preparing to split with the country.

Jiang Yu asked again: "What's new in the past eight years?"

Lu Qingfeng replied: "PDC countries are all isolating our Moon City.

"However, Mayor Burton seems to be well aware of the policy of 'you have me', and has always maintained a certain degree of cooperation with the PDC.

"There was no confrontation or conflict, but the interests of our Moon City were preserved.

"But the current situation is actually very unfavorable to Moon City, because we don't have enough force.

"It's like a piece of fat on the moon. As long as the time is right, it will be divided up by all parties."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Everyone don't have to worry about this. Di Fengyi and Burton already have a plan to deal with it. I will go to Moon City in two days and make the final decision."

Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Jiang Yu said again: "In addition to the task I just entrusted to you, in the future, we will also send people to Moon City to gain an in-depth understanding of the demands of the people of Moon City and the conflicts between all parties."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help smiling and said: "It's a brand new world, we have to treat it well.

"As for the ideological issues of the people on Earth, you just need to understand it. With the increasing centralization, the space you can operate will gradually decrease. Don't have friction with the PDC countries."

Zhao Yun and Lu Qingfeng responded one by one.

During the conversation, the team was not far from the test field of the "Green Green Team".

The desolate desert stopped abruptly in front of it, replaced by an endless green.

Qi Guanglu was wearing comfortable cotton clothes and a straw hat, standing on the grass with a smile like an old farmer and waiting.

When Jiang Yu got out of the car, Qi Guanglu stepped forward and said with a smile: "We have opened a new chapter in the world environment."
