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

Chapter 536 Planet Killer

Although the Third Army's offensive was fierce, they did not appear directly in front of the more than 60 warships after all.

After several rounds of siege, three enemy ships escaped.

The Third Army sent three teams to continue the pursuit, but the material flow engine of the Trisolarans had excellent performance, and the pursuers could only use the curvature engine to pursue them.

But after the pursuers entered the speed of light, the three enemy ships immediately changed their course and quickly lost track of them.

The trisolarans on the three enemy ships finally breathed a sigh of relief, but their smart computers didn't notice that there was a small thing on the ship.

Of course, this is something to talk about. After launching the "Leafworm Project", Zhuang Yue got a happy report.

This kind of dealing with aliens naturally requires Jiang Yu to take the lead.

Jiang Yu first asked Letong and the others about the situation there, and then Jiang Yu ordered: "We must rescue Letong and the others."

Zhuang Yue nodded and issued a rescue order. When the reinforcements from the First Army arrived, there would be enough manpower to carry out the rescue.

Jiang Yu asked Yinhe No. [-]: "Can the electronic signal received by Letong and the others be deciphered?"

After a second or two, Yinhe No. [-] said: "This signal is very strange, like a smart signal, but it is too concise, and we have received too little material to complete the deciphering."

Jiang Yubian ordered Letong: "Send the smart cracking code to the source of the signal."

He urged again: "Send the full version."

There are two versions of Smart Decoding, one is a simple version, which is equivalent to a digital translation system. Although it appears to be communication between languages ​​or text, it is actually a dialogue between a computer language and another computer language.

The simplified version was previously used to persuade the Silicon Stars to surrender.

There is also a full version, which not only has the translation function, but also sends some basic concepts of the human world, allowing for smoother communication with other civilizations.

After Letong received the order, the three lifeboats began to return to the place where the signal was received, and sent a smart cracking code that can be used universally between computers.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yu said to the other party: "Hello!"

Two or three minutes later, I received a reply from the other party: "Hello, is this war going to continue?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment before he said, "It was you who first took the initiative to attack us, and the war broke out."

The other party: "We didn't attack you, it was your mother who attacked you."

Jiang Yu asked: "Mother? Can you explain in detail?"

The other party explained: "Tianmu is the master of this world, and we must obey her will!"

"Sorry, this seems more confusing. May I ask what is the relationship between Tianmu and the mother you mentioned earlier?"

The other party: "In the broken code you sent, there is no correct description of Tianmu, and the closer description is mother, so at first I used mother to mean Tianmu.

"But the meanings of the two are still different, so I used your concept to create a word that refers to heaven and mother."

Jiang Yu tried to understand: "You mean, she is both supreme and conceived of you?"

"That's understandable."

Jiang Yu squeezed his temples: "Can you tell me in detail about your relationship with Tianmu?"

"Tianmu is the master of this planet. We are all her subjects. She is everywhere and omnipotent. We believe in her devoutly and worship her."

Jiang Yu was stunned, there is such a superstitious civilization in the universe?

He thought for a while and asked, "Is Tianmu a concrete person, or a concept?"

Opponent: "Both!"

Jiang Yu smiled. Fortunately, the other party hadn't preached to him yet. He asked again: "You said just now that Tianmu attacked us, but you don't seem to want to fight?"

"A long, long time ago, we didn't want to fight."

Jiang Yu scratched his head: "Sorry, this is beyond my understanding, don't you believe in Tianmu? How could it go against her idea?"

"We believe in Tianmu, but at the same time we know that Tianmu's consciousness has died, and now she only has an instinctive reaction."

Jiang Yu thought about it and guessed: "Can I understand it this way? Tianmu is a life form of the first era, and you are creatures bred by the life form of the first era?
"Now that your Heavenly Mother has passed away, you are the only one left... This is not right, can't you decide your own destiny?"

The other party didn't look like an enemy at all, and said as if chatting with Jiang Yu: "Tianmu is indeed a life form that existed extremely long ago, which basically conforms to your description of the life form of the first era.

"She has devoured and absorbed planet after planet, and wiped out civilization after civilization.

"Until one day, the Heavenly Mother needed a group of faithful servants and soldiers, so the Heavenly Mother created us.

"Our consciousness is connected with Tianmu, Tianmu's orders will appear in our consciousness, and those orders will be our lifelong pursuit and benchmark.

"We help Tianmu eliminate enemies and help Tianmu breed new Tianmu.

"Each new Celestial Mother is born on a planet and nourishes itself with the energy of that planet until the planet dies and the baby Celestial Mother grows up.

"They will migrate to other planets and feed on new planets..."

Jiang Yu and the others were stunned. They didn't expect that the first-generation lifeforms could still give birth to offspring!
The other party continued to explain: "The power of Tianmu's total victory period was unprecedentedly strong. She hoped to integrate with the laws of the universe, but she failed. Since then, Tianmu has lost her main consciousness and acted only on instinct."

Jiang Yu was a little surprised by this passage: "'Integrate with the laws of the universe'? Is this a metaphor?"

"No," said the other party, "Our view of the universe is completely different from yours. Tianmu believes that the universe is a huge living body.

"All creatures living in the universe must obey the laws of the universe just like we obey the orders of the Heavenly Mother.

"So when Tianmu was at her most powerful, she believed that she could replace the role of the universe to a certain extent."

Is this the universe in the eyes of the first era life forms?It's like a fairy tale, but it feels more than just a fairy tale.

Jiang Yu didn't continue to ask. There is indeed a big gap between human beings and the other party's view of the universe. It is enough to ask in this direction to find any clues.

He changed the subject: "Can you tell us about yourself? There are no long-range weapons on your spaceship? And your nervous system is a reticular nerve?"

"We don't have spaceships!"

Jiang Yu twitched the corners of his mouth. Is the Second Army fighting ghosts?

"It's us who are rushing towards you."

Jiang Yu frowned: "I know it's you, I mean..."

He stopped suddenly, and after two or three seconds, Jiang Yu changed his sitting posture and asked, "You mean, those flying vehicles rushing over are you..."

Jiang Yu suddenly realized that he didn't know how to describe it, so he paused and said, "It's your compatriots?"

"Yes, we didn't want to fight a long time ago. We didn't want to fight a long time ago."

Some scholars speculated just now that the enemy's spacecraft has an intelligent mesh nervous system, and the enemy can remotely invade the warship through these nervous systems.

I really want to exceed everyone's expectations. It turns out that it is not their spaceship that has the reticular nervous system, but the spaceship itself is a living body!
