In the process of the growth of civilization, the process may be more important than the result. When a civilization lacks certain historical processes, and when certain costs are avoided in the process of civilization development, then a greater price will almost certainly be paid in the future.
Today's human beings can indeed defeat the Trisolarans by relying on the trump card prepared by Lan Nuo. Even such a strong trump card is more than enough to help human beings withstand several attacks from the dark forest, but it will undoubtedly make human beings weak. It will also make human beings weak.
Human beings have a wrong understanding of the universe and a wrong understanding of themselves.
In fact, there is a similar manifestation in the original work. Luo Ji saved mankind, using an almost incredible method. He defeated the Trisolarans with almost no sacrifice, making mankind mistakenly believe that the arrival of peace does not require
What price to pay.
As a result, in the following decades, human beings became weaker and weaker, and men gradually began to become more feminine, eventually becoming almost a society of all virgins. Although Lanno hoped that the members of the society could understand each other,
Mutual trust, but this and the Holy Mother of All Members are obviously two different concepts.
If he had relied on deus ex machina-like methods to win this war for mankind, then the result would probably be that mankind would be trained to be even weaker.
So Lan Nuo was ready for everything, ready to take cover for failure, but he chose to let go and gradually handed over the various industries he controlled to other human elites, while he retreated behind the scenes, as if he was teaching himself
When the child was riding a bicycle, he kept holding on to him at first, but when the bicycle gradually became stable, he unknowingly let go of his hand.
While Lan Nuo retreated behind the scenes, he also went to say goodbye to his old friends.
In front of Ray Diaz's tomb, Lan Nuo stood there, silent for a long time. This was the most unjust death among all the wall-facers, and the one who was closest to success except Luo Ji.
If humans had been carrying out deterrence according to his strategy for hundreds of years, then the Trisolarans might indeed have temporarily stopped invading the earth.
"You did everything too early. If it were later, if mankind really felt the despair brought by the Trisolarans, then you might be able to become a hero of mankind." Lan Nuo sat in front of the grave, as if talking to a person.
The conversation between old friends was average. Even during his lifetime, the two of them had almost no communication.
Lan Nuo has not yet told mankind the method of deterrence in the dark forest, and he will not inform mankind of this until the balance of war is reversed in an unfavorable direction. Only a last-ditch fight can inspire people's fighting spirit, even if such a decision may have consequences.
So does knowing how many people died in the war.
After spending a long time in front of the tombstone, Lan Nuo finally left. Tonight, all Lan Nuo will see this scene in their dreams. It is equivalent to visiting this old friend.
…
When Hines saw Lan Nuo at the Institute of Brain Science, there was no surprise on his face, because there was already more than one Lan Nuo working here. The research directions of the two of them had quite a lot of overlap.
Hines is now one of the most powerful among the Nirvana people. As one of the first Nirvana people, he can now accurately control dozens of grams of controllable high-energy particles.
His research direction is to penetrate the human brain with a large number of controllable high-energy particles and explore the laws of quantum phenomena in the human brain through intuitive perception of the microscopic world.
This method is also one of the ways to understand the microscopic world, but this method of exploration is relatively more perceptual, and it is more difficult to establish a quantifiable mathematical model and use laws to summarize everything perceived, so it is currently still
It cannot replace mainstream accelerators.
Lan Nuo's research direction is still the study of the brain, which is the improvement of human beings' distribution of computing power in their brains, which is the dragon transformation mentioned before.
Modify the human brain to a certain extent in the direction of dinosaurs or birds, so that the partitions of the human brain can be modeled when necessary, and try to avoid the situation where one core is in trouble and eight cores are watching.
The two saw each other almost every day, so Hines felt that there was nothing surprising about this meeting.
"Today is probably the last time we meet in the institute. My research has achieved initial results, and the rest is enough for the children. Humanity no longer needs me. Compared to actually participating in
In the operation of human society, I think I am more suitable as a flag and a spiritual sustenance."
Hines sighed: "Are you so confident that mankind will win? Although I have got rid of the control of the ideological stamp, the possibility that we can win this war is still slim!
You should have seen the data of the Trisolaran people. Those data themselves were obtained by you through all the hard work.
We can now pinpoint the time to break through the technological blockade of the Trisolarans to the sky. After our accelerator construction and capture equipment construction plans are completed, it will take a total of nine years to completely outperform Sophon and obtain the possibility of independent research technology.
sex.
Before this, we can only copy the Trisolaran technology. There are many things that are only suitable for the Trisolaran people, and if we make some slight improvements, the effect may be greatly reduced. Without detailed experiments and tests, even if we
Even after getting the extremely detailed parameters of the Trisolaran, I couldn't find any ideas on how to improve it.
According to the data you brought back, the first batch of small spacecraft from the Trisolarans will arrive on Earth within ten years. And given the technological gap between us and the power of those spacecraft, I'm really not optimistic about it.
We can win, and even if we do win, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory.
unless……"
"Unless I go all out to control each and every one of them and personally control the aura to fight the Trisolarans, right? I'm not afraid of sacrifice. So far, there have been hundreds of my clones due to various reasons.
For various reasons, we have forever lost contact with our material world.
But human beings are a complete civilization. If we want to develop healthily, we cannot pin our hopes on a certain person. I will let go. Even if letting go will make human beings pay huge sacrifices, we cannot let human beings have this kind of situation.
dependency."
"You are still as usual, no matter what choice you make, it is hard for people to see through." Hines shook his head helplessly.
"There's nothing that people can't see through. It's just about letting go of society and letting humans run their own operations. Well... before I leave, I also need to take away a set of the most advanced thinking acceleration equipment we have developed so far. It's my
As a personal hobby, I have long wanted to install a set of thought acceleration equipment on my mecha."
Hines rolled his eyes: "Do you still need to speed up your thinking? Even if we don't speed up our thinking, our thinking is probably not one ten thousandth of your speed."
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. Although my brain development is higher than yours, generally speaking, my thinking speed is no more than ten times yours. It's just that I apply my thinking more rationally. Ineffective
There are fewer operations. This makes you feel that the gap between you and me is almost irreparable."
Lanno said goodbye to Hines and took away the equipment he needed.
Among the four wall-facers, the only one Lanno didn't go to find was Taylor. This could be regarded as the only one among the wall-facers who failed to make much contribution to mankind's fight against the Trisolarans? Lanno himself had no interaction with him.
The next person he came to visit was naturally Luo Ji. The former Luo Ji was a cosmological sociologist who just ate and waited for stagnant papers. Originally, his destiny was to become the savior of mankind and bear the heaviest burden for mankind.
of that sword.
Now, Lan Nuo has taken over everything from him. Although the profession of sword bearer has not been born yet, human beings have developed to the point where sword bearers are almost no longer needed.
When he saw Luo Ji again, his appearance had not changed much. After taking the elixir of life, he had stayed at his most energetic age.
But now he no longer lives in a villa, but in an apartment in a research institute. He is still engaged in his old profession, but he is involved in sociological research on Trisolarans.
"I didn't expect that you would make such a choice. I thought you would really retire in that big villa with a fireplace?" Lan Nuo had actually known about Luo Ji's choice for a long time, but until now, he couldn't
Fully understanding the reason for the other person's choice is the charm of intelligent creatures. No matter how powerful or intelligent a person is, they cannot completely predict their future.
"I do want to go to a place like that to retire, but am I not old yet? If you hadn't developed any longevity medicine, I might have been raising my grandson in my big villa now." Luo Ji's mentality showed
He has always looked so young, and he is such an open-minded and cynical person. In the original work, during the years when he became a sword bearer, he even lost the ability to speak, but two hundred years later, he is still
He has regained his cheerfulness and looks like a young man despite his gray hair.
"Anyway, I want to thank you for helping me take on all this. I think now that you all know the secrets of cosmic sociology, it is impossible for the Trisolarans to stop humans from launching a deterrent against them. In fact, you can launch a deterrent now,
In our research, the Trisolarans are a cold and insensitive race.
This makes them disciplined and not afraid of death, but it also allows them to recognize reality and make the best choice for themselves as soon as possible when faced with an unchangeable situation.
As long as we act as a deterrent and let the Trisolarans see our determination, I think it will be enough to solve the current crisis on Earth."
"Then why don't you do this? I can hand you the remote control of the antenna array. Tomoko should be watching our conversation, I guess it should be over there, and you can talk to them directly." Lan.
Nuosui pointed in a direction, which was where he intuitively thought Tomoko was monitoring the two of them.
The Trisolaran monitors are already a little numb. Lan Nuo's intuition cannot be explained even with their current technology. Although he cannot be 100% sure of the location of the sophon, he can guess it at least nine times out of ten.
Yes, from a probability perspective, there is absolutely no way to explain this by coincidence.
Luo Ji looked at the remote control that Lan Nuo carried with him and shook his head: "You should keep this thing for yourself. I am not suitable for doing this kind of thing. I also believe in your choice."
Lan Nuo looked in the direction of Tomoko, then showed a strange smile, and put away the remote control: "If you believe me, then I tell you, you will be busy in the next period of time, and everyone will be busy.
, so take your wife on a vacation before that, because you may not have time to take a vacation in the next few years."
"What are you going to do?" Luo Ji was curious.
Lan Nuo pointed at Tomoko. This time, his guess was even more accurate than before. His finger almost hit Tomoko's face: "He is still watching. We have to tell him my plan in front of him."
come out?"
"Forget it. If you tell me your plan now, the Trisolarans probably won't be able to stop you, but my vacation plan will be ruined." Luo Ji was obviously a man who could leave at a moment's notice, and he had already begun to write a note of leave.
"Then I wish you a happy time in advance!" Lan Nuo said goodbye to Luo Ji, and finally came to the space elevator. He took the space elevator to the Equator-1 Space Station, where Zhang Beihai currently works here and is the temporary fleet commander here.
.
And this fleet itself shoulders an important mission, which is to escape at all costs after confirming that humans cannot defeat the Trisolarans.
Zhang Beihai didn't know why he was assigned such a task, and humans didn't object to this plan. You know, humans in the past would beat their brains out over the issue of who left and who stayed. Absolutely not
Who wants to leave alone? It is almost impossible to build a fleet that is ready to escape with human fire at any time.
…
"Are you asking how such a fugitive fleet was established? In fact, the reason is very simple. Our current aura was discovered by a scientific research fleet on a long voyage, and this also made people begin to agree that leaving the cradle of the earth and leaving
The solar system can often bring us new hope. Your mission is not only to escape, but also to save human civilization invaded by the Trisolarans if possible."
Zhang Beihai looked at the earth outside the window, and looked at Lan Nuo thoughtfully: "This is the importance of the historical process! We often believe in things where we can find examples in history, and history is our
What we have created ourselves and what we do now determines the character of our entire civilization, doesn’t it?”
Zhang Beihai looked at Lan Nuo with a meaningful look: "In the data you provided us, there are a lot of missing information in the research literature on the sociology of the universe of the Trisolaran people. I think these are not blocked by the Trisolaran people.
Our detection has some truth, but it is not suitable for humans to know yet."
