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

Chapter 258 Obstacles to Civilization

There was no panic atmosphere in the restaurant, because no one thought that there would be a warship defection, and they only thought it was an illegal operation by the crew of the "Natural Selection".

Ten minutes later, the top management of the Asian Fleet confirmed an unbelievable fact: the "Natural Selection" had defected.

So the fleet commander immediately held an emergency meeting, and Jiang Yu walked into the meeting room while drinking the soup in the squeeze bag.

Although the fleet commander did not invite him to attend the emergency meeting, if he wanted to attend, no one would stop him.

The commander of the fleet quickly issued an order to pursue the "Natural Selection". This pursuit was a joint operation of four major fleets and a total of six warships.

Just when everyone was leaving the meeting, Jiang Yu suddenly said: "I want to remind everyone that the 'Natural Selection' has just been filled with fuel, so the chasing fleet must also be filled with fuel, and prepare an extra spare part."

The deputy commander of the fleet in charge of foreign affairs said in his heart, isn't this the trouble you caused us?
If the fuel is not filled up, the speed of "Natural Selection" can be accelerated to 5.00% of the speed of light at most. Fortunately, they can easily accelerate to [-]% of the speed of light!

If loss is not counted, it is not impossible to accelerate to 15.00% of the speed of light.

Complaints belong to complaints, the fuel of the battleship responsible for the pursuit must indeed be filled up, and a supply ship must be sent by the Asian fleet to be incorporated into the pursuit fleet.

In space battles, only if the fuel of the pursuers is much higher than that of the deserters, can the chase be victorious!
Several senior executives of the fleet left the conference room one after another, but Jiang Yu and the commander of the fleet sat in their seats in tacit understanding.

The admiral looked young, his oriental face illuminated by the light from his epaulets and cap badge.

He looked at Jiang Yu: "You knew about Zhang Beihai's defection plan in advance, right?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "How would I know?"

"Then why did you refuel Zhang Beihai? Give him back the extra spare parts?" The fleet commander said angrily:

"This is your action to split the Asian fleet, right? You think that sending a warship to the outer reaches of the solar system will develop your new power, right?"

Jiang Yu shook his head: "You think too superficially of me, and soon you will know the purpose of doing this."

"Your plan is destined to end in failure!" The fleet commander got up and said, "At most in the Kuiper belt, we can catch up with 'Natural Selection'!
"I will bring this matter to the Sun International Federation and ask what the purpose of the Solar System Federation is!"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Go!"

Anyway, Gu Cheng is in charge of the current solar system country, so let him have a headache.

The fleet commander left quickly with a cold face, but Jiang Yu floated leisurely back to the room arranged for him.

As he expected, there were sentries following Jiang Yu, and sentries began to stand guard at the door of his residence.

The Asian Fleet did not immediately expel Jiang Yu, who assisted in defecting, and had already saved the last bit of affection for him.

Not long after Jiang Yu returned to the room, Gu Cheng sent Jiang Yu an invitation for a video call.

Gu Cheng lost his temper and scolded Jiang Yu for what he did in the Asian Fleet, which put the Solar System Federation in a very passive situation.

Even the initiative to intercept the "Water Droplet" operation, which was finally obtained, has been affected.

Jiang Yu put the laptop aside and yawned.

When Gu Cheng got tired of scolding, Jiang Yu said: "You should concentrate on preparing for the fleet's departure!"

After finishing speaking, I hung up the phone. It is useless to say more now.

In the next few days, Jiang Yu didn't go out. He discussed the next personnel transfer and final preparations with No. [-] at his residence.

The Asian Fleet ignored him, as if he had already left the fortress as the "Commander-in-Chief".

Until Ding Yi came to the door.

Jiang Yu looked at the snow-white haired Ding Yi, who was already very old, but full of energy, his tears almost flowed out:

"I also specifically told those bastards to notify me as soon as you came. I didn't expect them to ignore my words."

Ding Yi smiled heartily and said, "I heard about your glorious deeds as soon as I came to the fortress. Now the officers and soldiers of the Asian Fleet are all looking forward to your early departure."

Jiang Yu smiled and said: "A bunch of little kids, don't worry about them.

"Oh, by the way, I specially brought you a gift from Mobei Farm on Earth."

While talking, he took out an iron box from his suitcase: "Where's your pipe?"

Ding Yi already knew what Jiang Yu was going to give him, so he took out his pipe: "The tobacco in Mobei Farm is not cheap."

With his income as a well-known professor, he can only occasionally buy a box of cigarettes. He bought a box when he set off from the earth, but he ran out of cigarettes on the way.

During this period of time, as long as Ding Yi is addicted to smoking, Ding Yi will take out the pipe and rub it, or ask about the smell of vape oil in the pipe, and it will be regarded as a solution to the addiction.

Ding Yi filled the pipe slowly. When smoking cigarette butts on Jupiter, a special cap was needed to cover the shredded tobacco so as not to float everywhere.

After lighting the cigarette, Ding Yi took a puff beautifully: "In the good times of bullshit, I can't even afford to smoke!"

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "The brats today will not recognize what you said, they will talk to you about how good modern welfare is!"

Ding Yi took another puff of cigarette silently: "Influenced by you, I have read many books on sociology, which brought me many new ideas."

Jiang Yu pretended to be listening.

Ding Yi said: "The reason why modern society looks so glamorous is all because of the welfare generated by efficient agriculture and industry!
"The foundation of agriculture and industry is inseparable from the technology of various disciplines, and how far the technology of various fields can go is directly related to the basic theory.

"After the success of controllable nuclear fusion technology, I have been engaged in research on basic theory.

"Unfortunately, we soon hit the ceiling given by Sophon, and I had no choice but to hibernate.

"When I woke up, I found that the new breakthroughs praised by everyone were just an extension of the theoretical knowledge back then. As long as Sophon is around, we won't have any new theories."

He pointed to his white hair: "Now my hair is all white, and I haven't waited for human beings to make new progress.

"Soon there will be insufficient theoretical reserves, and technology will stop advancing, and the social dividends brought by technology will gradually disappear.

"What should people do then?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Isn't it good for you to study physics well? Why are you robbing me of my job?"

He paused and said again: "Having such an understanding shows that you have already achieved higher attainments in sociology."

Ding Yi waved her hand: "I haven't finished yet, many children, even some scholars, claim that today's human technology is the ceiling of the universe.

"We don't care where the ceiling of the basic theory is? When we really reach the ceiling, what should human beings do?
"What should we do once our race stops progressing?
"Human greed will not stop, but what should we do when material living standards stagnate, or when a small regression occurs, and human greed can no longer be satisfied?"

Jiang Yu sighed: "History has already given us the answer. When such an era comes, people will attack their own people."
