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

Chapter 422 Heart's Second Choice
"Originally, the federal government has announced a complete blockade of Xinghuan City, and no one can enter or leave, but we know that it is Dr. Cheng Xin." The special envoy nodded to Cheng Xin:
"That's why we allow and assist you to enter Star Ring City, and hope that you will use your influence to persuade them to give up their bigoted and illegal acts, so as to avoid further expansion of the situation."

The special envoy ignored Cao Bin at all, and Cheng Xin could clearly feel the special envoy's hostility towards Cao Bin.

Then the special envoy began to tell Cheng Xin about the current situation of Xinghuan City, and there was not much difference between what Cao Bin said.

Six years ago, the Halo Group suddenly announced the plan to develop a curvature-driven spacecraft, which caused an uproar in the Solar System Federation.

After repeated negotiations, the Star Ring Group promised that when the curvature engine enters the substantive test stage, the test base will be moved to [-] astronomical units away from the solar system.

Or apply for assistance from the countries in the solar system, and go to Lisbon to continue the experiment, so as not to expose the existence of earth civilization in advance due to the flight path produced by the engine.

However, the federal government believes that the study of light-speed spacecraft itself is a brutal violation of the federal constitution and laws.

(12 years after the broadcast, PDC and Fleet International defined the research on light-speed spacecraft as illegal, and later it rose to the crime of destroying the world and other heinous crimes.)
The Solar System Federation believes that the danger brought by the appearance of light-speed spacecraft is not just the flight path, it may cause turmoil in the social life that has just settled down in the bunker world.

Especially after the appearance of light-speed spacecraft, human society will be baked on the fire by "escapeism" again, and human's comfortable life and values ​​will be shaken again, which is absolutely intolerable.

The federal government passed a resolution to completely stop the theoretical research and technology development related to the curvature drive of the Halo Group, and strictly supervise the future activities of the Halo Group.

Vader is not a vegetarian either, and immediately announced that Halo City is independent from the Solar System Federation and is no longer subject to federal laws.

As a result, the conflict between the Solar System Federation Government and the Halo Group escalated.

The special envoy once again expressed his hope for Cheng Xin, and then Cheng Xin and Cao Bin boarded the spaceship and landed in Xinghuan City.

On the lawn in front of the laboratory, Cheng Xin met Wade.

Vader, who has never hibernated since taking over the Starlink Corporation, is now 95 years old, his hair and beard are still shaved short, all gray.

He does not use crutches, and his steps are steady, but his back is a bit bent, and one sleeve is still empty.

The moment his eyes met, Cheng Xin understood that this person had not been defeated by time, the core of him had not been taken away by time, but had become more prominent, like a rock exposed after melting ice and snow.

"Hello, little girl, I said you were still young at this time, and I am three times your age." Vader said.

The smile he showed Cheng Xin was still far from making her feel warm, but it no longer had that icy meaning.

Cheng Xin was filled with emotions. Wade has struggled for his ideal for more than 60 years, and now he is coming to the end of his life.

She greeted Wade, and then everyone stopped talking. Wade led Cheng Xin into the laboratory, and Cao Bin followed.

When they entered a spacious hall, they saw Jiang Yu and Bi Yunfeng sitting on a bench chatting.

Jiang Yu really woke up without knowing when!
Cheng Xin instantly felt a sense of conspiracy.

Bi Yunfeng stood up and greeted Cheng Xin. He should be younger than Wade, but he looked older.

Jiang Yu didn't change much. He looked like he was in his 30s, calm and calm. When Cheng Xin saw the gloomy look in his eyes, she knew that she would face another major decision today.

And Jiang Yu is like the teacher who came to invigilate the exam, and she is the examinee who didn't do well.

Jiang Yu sat there without getting up, nor did he mean to say hello.

Cheng Xin didn't go to greet him, and continued walking with Wade, but even though she couldn't see Jiang Yu, she could still feel the pressure from him, making Cheng Xin a little out of breath.

Cheng Xin didn't feel better until she walked a long distance, and arrived at Vader's show stage a few minutes later.

Cheng Xin saw a section of her hair moved to the other side of a pre-drawn line, but she didn't see the moving process.

Vader asked, "What did you see?"

Cheng Xin replied, "You have used it for more than 30 years, and you can move a section of [-]mm hair by [-]cm."

Vader said: "It is the curvature of space that drives him to move."

Cheng Xin looked at the section of hair that was pulled two centimeters by the tension of space, and said after more than half a minute:

"That is, you invented gunpowder, you made firecrackers, but the ultimate goal is to make space rockets.

"There may be a gap of 1000 years in between."

"What you said is not accurate." Bi Yunfeng said: "We have the mass-energy conversion equation, and discovered the principle of radioactivity, and the ultimate goal is to build an atomic bomb. There is only a few decades between them.

"Within 50 years, we'll be able to build a curvature-driven light-speed spacecraft."

Cheng Xin said, "But according to what you're doing now, you shouldn't get anything."

"It depends on your decision." Vader said: "You must think that our strength is vulnerable to the fleet outside.

"However, that's not the case!"

Then Vader showed off the urban self-defense force and the anti-matter individual combat weapons purchased from the solar system country.

Seeing those exquisite killing tools, Cheng Xin already knew what to do. She wasn't too worried about the Federation Fleet, and believed that they had a way to defend against this kind of attack.

Now most of her thoughts are focused on another matter, a line that echoed in her mind when Vader introduced the Urban Self-Defense Force: We still have people with anti-matter grenades, sneaking into other space cities.

Although Cheng Xin didn't know how powerful the antimatter grenade was, the space city would be as fragile as an egg under such a weapon.

As if to confirm Cheng Xin's worries, a soldier from the Urban Self-Defense Force said:

"Dr. Cheng Xin, please believe that we will fight to the end."

Another soldier pointed upward and continued: "Do you know what they want to take away from us? It's not cities and lightspeed spaceships, but the entire universe outside the solar system!

"It's billions of wonderful worlds in the universe!
"They don't let us go to those worlds, they put us and our descendants in this prison with a radius of fifty astronomical units called the solar system!
"We are fighting for freedom!"

Under the gloomy and cold eyes, Cheng Xin felt that the sky was dark, as if she saw the bloody and cruel nature of human beings, and fell into deep fear.

She asked Vader: "Is your promise still valid?"

Vader nodded: "Of course, what else would you be asked to do?"

"That's good, immediately stop combat preparations, stop all resistance! Hand over all weapons to the federal government." Cheng Xin said, "Especially those who sneaked into other space cities, do the same right away."

All the soldiers focused their eyes on Cheng Xin, as if they wanted to burn her down.

"Think about it again." Vader said.

"No need to think about it." Cheng Xin's voice was extremely firm.

Wade looked up at Cheng Xin, with rare helplessness and begging in his eyes: "If you lose your humanity, you will lose a lot; if you lose your bestiality, you will lose everything."

"I choose humanity." Cheng Xin looked around at everyone, "I think you too..."

"Ah bah!" Jiang Yu on the outside couldn't listen anymore: "Get out of your mother's humanity!"

Then he said loudly: "Now I am announcing that the solar system country will take over Xinghuan City. I believe you all have no objections!"

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.
