The Science Fiction World of Xueba

When Pang Xuelin came out of the United Nations General Assembly Hall, Kanter followed him closely, surrounded by guards and security personnel.

Pang Xuelin could feel that after he was elected as a Wallfacer, everyone, including Kanter, looked at him differently.

It was a look of hope and reverence.

Pang Xuelin could feel the heavy responsibility behind those eyes, which was enough to overwhelm people.

"Professor Pang, where do you want to go now?"

Kanter asked.

"Can I go anywhere?"

"Of course, as long as the resources you mobilize are within the scope permitted by the Wallfacer Act, you can do anything."

"Then go to the meditation room, I want to go there and have a look!"

As long as you have read the original "Three-Body Problem", you should be deeply impressed by the passage in the meditation room of the United Nations Building.

Pang Xuelin's current mentality is more like visiting a famous scenic spot.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Pang Xuelin walked through the visitor hall to the west side of the United Nations Building, and saw Luo Ji coming out of the meditation room, with Da Shi closely following him.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Dr. Luo Ji, we meet again."

Luo Ji looked much more relaxed than before, and said with a smile: "Professor Pang, I just explained to Ms. Say that I have decided to give up my identity as a Wallfacer, give up all the rights I have been granted, and do not assume any responsibility related to the Wallfacer. Responsibility, Ms. Say agreed..."

"oh……"

Pang Xuelin looked at Luo Ji with a smile, but didn't answer.

Luo Ji had a faint feeling that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously, "Professor Pang, is there... a problem?"

"No, no problem! Dr. Luo Ji."

Pang Xuelin smiled, turned his gaze to Da Shi and said, "Da Shi, protect Dr. Luo Ji well!"

"Brother Pang,

I……"

Da Shi shook his head and smiled wryly.

Pang Xuelin smiled, stepped forward and patted Da Shi on the shoulder, ignored them, and went straight into the meditation room.

Luo Ji looked at Pang Xuelin's back curiously and said, "Da Shi, do you know Professor Pang?"

Da Shi said: "Yes, we are old friends."

Luo Ji said, "Why do I feel that Professor Pang looks at me a little strangely?"

"Maybe it's just your illusion..." Da Shi coughed dryly and said, "Dr. Luo Ji, what are you going to do next?"

Luo Ji said, "I... let's go out and have a look first. I finally came to New York. Of course, I want to play for a few days. You don't have to follow me. I'm no longer a Wallfacer."

This was said to the surrounding guards.

Da Shi nodded and said, "We obey your orders."

As he spoke, Da Shi gave a look, and the surrounding guards slowly dispersed.

Luo Ji heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly walked out of the UN building.

Da Shi and the others quickly followed.

...

Pang Xuelin walked into the meditation room.

It is a V-shaped room, wide at the entrance and narrow on the innermost side, with walls painted beige around it and a protruding panel at the narrow end covered in a mural by the Swedish artist Bo Beskow.

The 9 x 6.5-foot mural is composed of blue, white, gray, and yellow geometric shapes, where pale, pure colors overlap into darker tones.

In the center of the room is a large block of high-purity pig iron ore that is millions of years old, which is used to symbolize eternity and strength.

At this time, UN Secretary-General Say was standing in front of the iron ore, quietly looking at the mural in front of him.

"Ms. Say."

Say turned his head and smiled, "Professor Pang, you're here."

Pang Xuelin stepped forward, came to the seat next to Say, and said, "I just met Dr. Luo Ji at the door, and he told me that he gave up his identity as a Wallfacer... He doesn't seem to realize the hidden truth behind this identity." significance."

Say smiled: "He will understand soon."

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Why did you choose him?"

Say said: "Information shows that he is the only human on Earth whose assassination order was personally issued by a Trisolaran. In addition, he and Ye Wenjie's daughter Yang Dong used to be high school classmates."

"I see!"

Pang Xuelin smiled. Although he had known the inside story for a long time, seeing the plot from a third-party perspective still gave him a sense of freshness.

At this time, Say said: "Professor Pang, to be honest, I am a little envious of you."

"Why do you say that?" Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback, "I think very few people would be willing to take on this most important responsibility in human history, although the position of the Wallfacer is indeed very powerful."

Say laughed: "At least, you can fight for our civilization to the last moment, but for those of us, it may be doomed to spend our lives doing nothing."

Pang Xuelin said: "This may not be a blessing."

Say smiled and said, "In the name of the United Nations, I am going to auction off all the stars within a hundred light-years around the solar system, and the funds obtained will be used to help those basic scientific research."

Pang Xuelin showed surprise on his face: "The Stars Project?!"

Say was taken aback for a moment, his eyes lit up, and said, "That's a good name. I was still thinking about the name of this project just now. The Stars Project, that's it!"

Pang Xuelin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't expect that he made a slip of the tongue for a while, and even named the Stars Project.

The Stars Project is a project in the third part of the Three-Body Problem "Death and Immortality", initiated by Say.

Its role in promoting basic science is almost negligible, but this plan has closely linked the fate of the hero and heroine of the third part, and even had a very large impact on the fate of the entire human race.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then, a United Nations staff member broke into the meditation room in a panic and said, "Ms. Say, Wallfacer Luo Ji has been assassinated!"

"Assassination?!"

A look of surprise appeared on Say's face, and then she turned to Pang Xuelin and said, "Professor Pang, I'll excuse you first."

"You go..."

Pang Xuelin nodded to Say, then turned to Kanter who was standing beside him and said, "Mr. Kanter, let everyone else go out too, I want to stay in the meditation room alone for a while."

"Okay, Professor Pang!"

Soon, the meditation room became quiet.

Pang Xuelin closed his eyes, put one hand on the iron ore, felt the coolness coming from the iron ore, and his heart gradually calmed down.

So far, all the plans have gone smoothly, he has become a Wallfacer, Luo Ji has also been drawn in, and has become a thorn in the side of Trisolaran and ETO.

But Pang Xuelin still had no idea how to find a way to shield Sophon.

Pang Xuelin set a time limit of 50 years for himself. If within 50 years, he did not find a way to shield Sophon, he would directly turn the table and have a showdown with the Trisolarans.

Another thing that Pang Xuelin needs to consider is the great trough of human civilization.

According to the description in the book, this great trough began thirty years later. Due to the acceleration of the wartime transformation of the world economy, living standards are declining day by day, and the political atmosphere has become unprecedentedly tense.

In addition, in order to develop the space military industry, human beings no longer consider environmental protection issues at all, and even environmental protection behaviors are equated with ETO people.

Later, the space military industry led to the rapid development of high-pollution heavy industries, the greenhouse effect, abnormal climate, and land desertification.

This was followed by a major reduction in global food production and a major famine.

Human civilization has fallen into an unprecedented state of regression. In just fifty years, the world's population has decreased from 8.3 billion to 2 billion.

Only then did human beings wake up from the sense of crisis brought about by the Trisolaran civilization.

A resounding slogan began to resound all over the world.

Give civilization to the years, not to civilization.

Governments all over the world have suspended strategic space programs and focused on improving people's livelihood.

With the breakthrough of genetic engineering and nuclear fusion technology, it is possible to concentrate on large-scale food production.

Human beings have ended their days of relying on the sky, and in just over 20 years, their lives have returned to the level of the golden age.

Due to the emancipation of the mind, human technology began to develop rapidly. Those technical obstacles in the space strategic plan before the Great Trough broke through one after another. By the year 205 of the Era of Crisis, mankind has established a powerful space fleet, and the fastest can reach the speed of light. Ten percent, human self-confidence has also risen to unprecedented heights.

But in the next doomsday battle to meet the "water droplet" of the three-body detector, human beings were beaten back to their original form again.

No breakthrough can be made in basic science, no matter how sharp a sword or spear is, it is far from being an opponent of machine guns and cannons.

When human beings fell into despair, Luo Ji, who came to the future through hibernation, stood up and used the law of the dark forest to launch a jedi counterattack, preventing the invasion of the earth by the Trisolaran civilization, and causing a confrontation between humans and the Trisolaran civilization. , the earth has entered the era of deterrence from the era of crisis.

This is the main plot of the second "Dark Forest" of the Three-Body Problem.

This trough, which has lasted for half a century, has had a very significant impact on the politics, economy, and culture of the future of human civilization.

Later, including the feminization of aesthetics, Cheng Xin's election as the sword bearer to replace Luo Ji, and even the prohibition of research and development of light-speed spaceships because of fear of the dark forest attack, etc., are actually inseparable from the impact of the Great Depression.

What was taken out of this great trough is the backbone of the progress of human civilization in future generations.

"The Great Trough must never happen!"

Pang Xuelin opened his eyes, staring at the square composed of complex geometric figures in front of him, thinking to himself.

Then, he turned and walked out of the meditation room.

"Professor Pang!"

Kanter greeted him immediately.

"Is Dr. Luo Ji okay?" Pang Xuelin asked.

"It's okay. Dr. Luo Ji was wearing a bulletproof vest, but suffered a slight injury."

"What are the other Wallfacers doing?"

"Mr. Taylor and Mr. Rey Diaz are forming their own staff, and Mr. Hines is preparing to convene brain science experts from all over the world to hold an academic conference."

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Mr. Kanter, please inform them that tomorrow night, I will invite them to a private dinner at the Hilton Hotel where I am staying."

Kantor was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Does Dr. Luo Ji want to be invited too?"

"Of course, I think there is a need for communication among us Wallfacers. Moreover, by tomorrow, Luo Ji should understand the mission he shoulders."

"Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements right away."

...

one immersed in

Three body game world.

Qin Shihuang leaned on a long sword, walked out of the pyramid, and came to a high slope.

Under the setting sun, on the dim skyline in the distance, several figures appeared in the distance.

After waiting for about ten minutes, several figures appeared in front of Qin Shihuang one after another. They were the same people who appeared at the last meeting, Zhou Wenwang, Newton, von Neumann, Aristotle, Mozi, Confucius, Einstein, etc. Stan...

Qin Shihuang glanced over everyone's faces, and said: "The Wall-facer project has started, and all five Wall-facers have been confirmed. I believe you have all received the news."

Everyone nodded.

Qin Shihuang said: "I believe everyone understands the threat of the Wall Facing Project. The Lord needs our help. According to the resolution of the last meeting, we need to start the Wall Breaking Project immediately!"

Qin Shihuang paused, and then said: "For each wall-facer, we will designate a wall-breaker. Like the wall-facer, the wall-breaker will have the right to use all resources in the organization, but your greatest resource is Sophon, they Fully expose the every move of the Wallfacers to you, and the only thing that becomes a secret is their thoughts. The task of the Wallfacers is to analyze the public and secret behaviors of each Wallfacer with the assistance of Sophon, and decipher their truth as soon as possible. strategic intentions. Next, the leadership will appoint a wallbreaker.”

Qin Shihuang stretched out his long sword and put it on von Neumann's shoulder in the way of a canonized knight: "You, Wall Breaker No. 1, Frederick Taylor's Wall Breaker."

Von Neumann knelt down on one leg, put his left hand on his right shoulder and saluted: "Yes, accept the mission!"

Qin Shihuang put the long sword on Mozi's shoulder: "You, Wall Breaker No. 2, Manuel Rey Diaz's Wall Breaker."

Instead of kneeling down, Mozi stood up straighter and nodded proudly: "I will be the first to break through the wall."

The long sword rested on Aristotle's shoulder again: "You, Wall Breaker No. 3, Bill Hines' Wall Breaker."

Aristotle didn't kneel down either. He shook his robe and said thoughtfully, "Yes, he can only break the wall with me."

"Okay, you all go down and get ready. You are the elite among the elites. For the rest of your life, you may have to entangle with these Wallfacers until the end of the battle!"

"What about Luo Ji and that traitor?"

someone asked.

Inside ETO, no one is willing to call Pang Xuelin's name, only a traitor.

"Luo Ji..." Qin Shihuang fell silent, "Luo Ji's wallbreaker is himself, and he needs to find out where his threat to the Lord lies."

"Didn't the Lord tell us where His threat came from?"

someone asked again.

Qin Shihuang shook his head and said, "No, only Evans knows, and maybe Ye Wenjie also knows. After they died, Lord, they also began to try to hide their secrets."

The scene fell silent again.

Someone laughed and said, "This is a good thing! When the Lord learns to hide his thinking like humans one day, I think there will be no meaning for us to continue to exist."

"Right!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

For them, their own life and death are not important, whether they can exterminate human beings is the most important thing!

"And what about the traitor?"

"That traitor?" Qin Shihuang grinned and said with a cruel smile, "His wallbreaker is me, and I will let him know what kind of fate he will face if he betrays the Lord!"
