In the video, Thomas Wade looked at his frowning subordinates and explained: "To put it simply, four of the seven permanent members of the Security Council are opposed. They feel that the intelligence they can obtain is too limited. It can be said that there is no information at all."
intelligence, so they didn't feel the need to execute the ladder plan."
"The specific reason they gave is that the detector itself is too small to have strong information detection capabilities, so the information transmitted back is probably of little use." Thomas Wade continued: "In addition, since the detector is not
It has a deceleration function, and even if the Trisolarans decelerate, their fleet will pass by the detector, and the speed is very fast. Even if the detector has a powerful information collection function, it will not be able to collect anything."
“There is a huge difference between investment and return,” Vadim concluded.
Thomas Vader nodded: "Three of them agreed to our plan, all because of the technology that can reach one percent of the speed of light, not the ladder plan!"
Cheng Xin was very disappointed and looked at the table dejectedly.
Thomas Wade glanced at Cheng Xin: "But do you think we are going to retreat from the Ladder Plan?! No!"
The hammer made the table bang, and Thomas Wade shouted: "We will not retreat! In the future, whether it is the ladder plan or any other plan, no retreat is allowed without my order! All we have to do is move forward!
"
Thomas Wade roared like a wild beast: "Forward! Forward!! Forward by any means necessary!!!"
[Three Body World, Thomas Wade received a cross-sea call from Zhang Beihai.
Compared with the distrust and even disgust that the public has for a crazy person like Thomas Wade.
Zhang Beihai saw something else in him.
If Luo Ji is to be said to have experienced a lot in the future, he will be wise and enlightened enough to become a sword-bearer who protects the earth.
Thomas Vader is like a nuclear weapon during the Cold War, possessing the most ferocious deterrence. As the sword bearer, he will pose the greatest threat to the Trisolarans during the period of hostility between the Earth and the Trisolarans!
So after hanging up the phone, Zhang Beihai quickly contacted the other side of the ocean and used his authority to upgrade Thomas Wade's protective power to the leader level.
He will be the insurance behind Luo Ji.
He is humanity’s backup means of safety!
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Beihai tapped his fingers on the table.
No, only two insurances are not enough. More insurances must be placed in more places. Humanity needs more Thomas Vaders!】
The roaring Thomas Wade walked right behind Cheng Xin when he yelled the last sentence.
That rough and arrogant tone frightened Cheng Xin so much that her shoulders were shaking.
Vadim frowned and looked at Thomas Wade: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Send someone over." Thomas Wade said a cold word.
The participants were stunned for a while before they realized that Thomas Wade was talking about the next step in the ladder plan.
Send a human being, a living compatriot, a light-year away, in the long loneliness and darkness, to directly face the most terrifying enemy in the history of mankind!
People in the conference room looked at each other and whispered.
"Theoretically it can be done..." an expert whispered to the person next to him: "The hibernation technology has matured, and when combined with hibernation equipment and the like... the weight can reach the standard."
Thomas Wade put his feet on the table and watched as everyone was communicating in low voices. Many people had finished speaking, but no one spoke his thoughts loudly.
"We are going to send a man into the heart of the enemy!" Thomas Wade said: "It is very possible, isn't it? The Trisolarans will intercept the detector. The sophons are beside us, and the Trisolarans can easily know the detection.
The trajectory of the device!”
The meeting did not last long, and most of the participants left the meeting room worried.
[Three-Body World, Yun Tianming looked at the nanorobots discharged from the body in surprise.
"I have... recovered?" Yun Tianming wanted to feel the difference in himself, but his body was still weak.
Hu Wen walked over from the side: "The current nanorobot therapy costs 300 million per injection. It took three injections to save you... Tsk, tsk, it's almost one billion. In money, in peacetime, it is simply more than you can spend in a lifetime."
ah!"
Yun Tianming looked at his hands in confusion. Then he turned his attention to the inventory screen.
On the screen, Cheng Xin was asking people related to hibernation technology about whether the hibernation capsule could be transplanted to the detector.
"What exactly happened?" Yun Tianming had just been in a state of suspended animation during treatment. This was to prevent the immune system from attacking the nanorobots and causing unnecessary trouble.
Hu Wen looked at Yun Tianming complicatedly: "You are a smart man. You can tell a lot from the title of the first act... But you seem to be..."
Yun Tianming shook his head: "These are not important...because I can't do anything..."]
Cheng Xin returned to the Planetary Defense Council's Strategic Intelligence Agency (PIA) disappointedly, looked at Vadim and said: "In a vacuum, the minus fifty degrees used for hibernation is as hot as a boiler. Rather than hibernation, we need to
To stuff the detector into the cabin, we might as well say we need a heater. And in this case... at least a hundred tons are needed!"
"What are you looking at me for?!" Thomas Wade looked at Cheng Xin fiercely: "I'm not God!"
Looking at the other people in the conference room, Thomas Wade cursed: "Your country didn't send you here just to eat and watch me in a daze! Find a way! Think of a way!"
Taking a deep breath of his cigar, the smoke in Thomas Wade's mouth stood out together with his words: "Forward by any means necessary!"
At the same time, Cheng Xin said timidly: "Maybe... it doesn't have to be a living person..."
[Three Body World, Yun Tianming closed his eyes sadly.
Any luck is gone!
Cheng Xin!
Unlike in Mingzhu City, Cheng Xin did not take a business car, but a military vehicle, filled with serious soldiers on both sides.
She also understood that she was the one who sent Yun Tianming to his death!
Although Yun Tianming originally planned to euthanasia, the final result seemed to be no different, but the meaning was different.
The person he loves most wants to send him to a place deeper, more desperate, darker, and more terrifying than the Mariana Trench!
"I'm sorry..." Cheng Xin shed tears and kept apologizing.
Because now she clearly knows how wrong she was in the video.
He just gave me a star!
How desperate will he be when I choose him to die?
Just by assuming Yun Tianming's position for a moment, Cheng Xin felt an endless sense of suffocation!
Next to Cheng Xin, the soldiers responsible for guarding and protecting Cheng Xin were still as before, paying close attention to every detail of the car's journey and checking for all dangers.
But as the elite among the elite, even if they are not watching the video with full concentration, they can still multi-task to a certain extent.
Therefore, morally, they condemned Cheng Xin.
But she had to admit that it was not surprising that she made such a choice when the whole world was in despair and she had no idea about Yun Tianming's love for her and the fact that he had just given her a star.
They all could understand Cheng Xin making such a decision under such circumstances.
But they didn't agree with Cheng Xin's approach.
Because in any case, such an approach is unethical.
Moreover, this is only the first scene, what else will she do after that?
Maybe she is not evil per se, but this does not mean that the things done by kind people are also good, otherwise she would not be worthy of being counted in the heavens and would be despised by countless beings!
In the end, Cheng Xin's best result was to hand it over to all mankind after receiving the reward.
In this case, someone will clear her name and defend her.
But in the universe, she will always be stigmatized.
She herself will spend her whole life in self-blame and guilt.】
In the video, Cheng Xin explains her belief that the Trisolarans have better thawing technology.
In her opinion, there is no need to freeze and hibernate people at minus 50 degrees, but to directly lower the temperature to close to absolute zero. This way, there is no need for any life support equipment and heating equipment, and the Trisolarans can directly receive the detector.
Let them use thawing technology that is much stronger than humans to awaken the brave man out of curiosity and the strategic need to further understand mankind.
Soon, the participants began to discuss the feasibility of this idea, and Thomas Wade praised Cheng Xin's creativity for the first time.
However, Cheng Xin lowered his head with a sad face.
Who will this brave man be?
[Three Body World, Zhang Beihai looked at the kimono woman in front of him and showed a warm smile: "Fortunately, we are no longer enemies!"
Tomoko would give a gentle smile: "But facing you, Mr. Zhang Beihai, we are still more afraid."
"There is nothing we can do about it," Zhang Beihai said with a smile: "I will always stand on the standpoint of human beings. But you don't need to be too afraid. I have not put you in the most dangerous position."
After all, fearing me is not as good as fearing other people, and fear is useless.
"I'm here this time to discuss a matter with you on behalf of the Trisolaris civilization." Tomoko said politely: "The second inventory of us in the inventory video will inevitably further leak our location information, and the probability of us being attacked by the dark forest will increase again.
Ascending, we need to prepare in advance."
Zhang Beihai nodded: "We do need to prepare in advance. However, let's take a look at the video first to see what we will experience in the future."
Let me see if you have any good stuff.】
The scene turned, and in a hall, Luo Ji, who had just been announced as a Wallfacer, looked at the reporters surrounding him in panic.
Cheng Xin didn't cast a curious look at the compatriot who didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
Ever since she said she could not send anyone alive last time, she has been thinking about the candidate.
Most of the other PIA members are not interested in the so-called Wall Facers. Under Thomas Vader's high pressure and their own pride, they care more about their own projects than watching monkeys.
"Niang Xipi!" When the members of PIA were discussing and leaving, a woman came over with a dozen thick documents and cursed: "Incompetent! Incompetent! They are simply incompetent!"
"What's wrong, Ke Manlin?" Cheng Xin asked.
The female PIA colleague named Ke Manlin, who was delayed for some reason and came a little late, said viciously: "Those stupid pigs! It has been decades since humans landed on the moon, but they haven't made much progress at all! Aerospace technology is a mess.
!”
"You know? They tried it with two nuclear bombs," Ke Manlin soothed her irritable heart: "The result is that the weight of the detector is at most one-tenth of the original plan! The only good news is that the radiation sail can weigh only ten
Kilogram! And the payload is only half a kilogram! Five hundred grams!"
At this time, the group of people had arrived outside the building, and Thomas Wade lit the cigar with satisfaction: "Hahaha, you can let my mother's cat go! But it still needs to lose weight! This fat cat weighs more than 500 grams.
!”
Cheng Xin sat slumped on the lawn nearby.
Obviously, I obviously thought that my profession and my ideas could contribute to mankind... I didn't expect that difficulties would come again and again...
The chances of success are getting smaller and smaller...
"You two!" Thomas Vader held a cigar in his mouth and pointed at the crazy Ke Manlin and the absent-minded Cheng Xin: "I'm warning you, you can't have such an emotional breakdown when you work under me! I said, move forward at any cost!
"
Vadim patted Cheng Xin on the shoulder and looked at Thomas Wade: "What else can we do? There is nothing we can do. There is no way forward for the Ladder Plan!"
After blowing the smoke into Vadim's face, Thomas Wade squinted his eyes and said again in his cold tone: "Only the brain!"
