[Zhang Beihai looked at the video with Cheng Xin’s determined eyes, but in the end he did not call the relevant departments and asked them to kill Cheng Xin directly.
After the inventory video appeared, everything changed. There is indeed no necessary hostile motive between humans and the Trisolarans. Then many things in the future will not happen. Rather than killing a Cheng Xin, it is more important to let the system go.
Humanity does not want to move towards such a distorted future.
In a certain military hospital, Yun Tianming was silently looking at Cheng Xin, who looked like a real Madonna under the composition.
He is very licky, but he is not stupid. He understands that Cheng Xin is definitely not suitable to be a sword wielder.
This is not only because he understands that Cheng Xin cannot bear such a high-pressure life, and he feels sorry for her, but also because he thinks he understands Cheng Xin and knows that Cheng Xin is a very kind person. She must not be determined to die together when necessary.
button.
In other words, she can be said to have no deterrent effect on the Trisolarans.
If she really becomes the sword holder, then the moment she completes the handover of authority, the Trisolaran counterattack will begin!
This would be the best time, because the Trisolarans couldn't wait endlessly to see if Cheng Xin really didn't have the courage. The Trisolarans would directly bet on Cheng Xin not having time to broadcast the coordinates.
What the Trisolarans really dare not bet on is whether Cheng Xin will truly have a deterrent effect during her long career as a swordsman!
Therefore, the day Cheng Xin becomes the sword bearer may be the day when mankind will perish!
Unless the Trisolarans are really influenced by the people on Earth and truly become people who yearn for peace.
But is this possible?
A civilization that has reincarnated hundreds of times before reaching the current technological level and discovering that the nearest star is suitable for survival, will it be converted in just a few decades?]
In the video, Cheng Xin solemnly said to the mother of the child in her arms: "I will run for the sword bearer!"
Afterwards, the screen kept flashing, and Cheng Xin continued to speak in front of the public, participated in various activities, and gained the favor of many people.
Finally, the picture freezes on a screen with voting information.
Cheng Xin was selected as the next sword bearer with a super high number of votes that was more than twice as high as the second place!
When the screen started to flow again, Cheng Xin was already standing in the elevator that was moving downward at high speed.
On the elevator screen, the depth had exceeded five digits and reached tens of thousands of meters underground.
But it was not over yet. More than twenty minutes later, the depth displayed on the screen was fixed at 45,000 meters underground!
The forty-five kilometers deep underground no longer belongs to the category of the earth's crust. It has crossed the Moho discontinuity and belongs to the upper layer of the earth's mantle.
Being able to build an elevator so deep into the ground shows the tip of the iceberg from the perspective of materials about the future technology of Trisolaris.
It is not as intuitive as a spaceship, but it allows more professional people from all over the world to understand that the people on Earth in the Trisolaran world have reached a very high level of technology, and the Trisolarans... still seem to be more powerful.
After all, no matter how strong the material is, the technology of water droplets that locks all molecules seems to always be superior.
Cheng Xin walked out of the elevator and stared at the words on the black door in front of her: Gravitational Wave Cosmic Broadcasting System Control Station Zero.
This place is indeed worthy of the number "Zero", after all, the person guarding here is Luo Ji, who saved the earth.
And his successor should and will continue to save the earth and save the Trisolaris at the same time.
The man of unknown gender with the logo of the Planetary Defense Council on his chest spoke from behind Cheng Xin: "If you want, we can make this place as beautiful as the surface. Flowers, running water, lawns, and even birds. We are really beautiful.
I don’t want you to go through the same torture as him.”
"I'll think about it," Cheng Xin said.
["Humanity is going to be finished." In the Marvel world, Nick Fury sighed: "But fortunately it is not our earth. I have been an agent for so many years and I have never seen many such stupid women."
"That's because you haven't been out in the field for a long time." Natasha Romanov said: "Many of the new generation of women have this trait, especially in our country. They don't know where the pride comes from, which makes them
No matter what they do, they are arrogant and think they are absolutely right. They may be smarter than some people in terms of IQ, but their arrogance makes them very stupid in fact."
Clint Barton was very puzzled: "I really can't understand her thinking, let alone the thinking of future humans. This tomb-like design is really psychologically tortured, but it's not this kind of psychology that makes the sword holder
Have you always stayed awake? To be honest, if I were Luo Ji, I would not be willing to protect such human beings. After all, even if I live another hundred years and learn all the technology of the Trisolarans, or even surpass them, such a civilization will inevitably be destroyed.
Own!"】
The door slowly opened, and Cheng Xin saw Luo Ji sitting cross-legged in front of a curved white wall.
At this time, he was very different from the first theme inventory. His hair and beard were all white, and his beard was even longer than usual - because such a long beard appeared more often in costume dramas, and
Not on a modern person wearing a Chinese tunic suit.
"There are still ten minutes until the handover." The PDC official whispered to Cheng Xin.
Cheng Xin nodded and looked respectfully at Luo Ji, who meticulously held on for the last ten minutes.
Although he was very old, Luo Ji's eyes were still sharp. To him, the white wall in front of him was another world four light years away!
[And such a sharp gaze made the Trisolarans, whose destiny has been greatly changed in the Trisolaran world, invariably frightened.
This is a fear that strikes a deeper chord in the soul than watching Luo Ji forcibly establish a deterrent in front of his own grave in the inventory video!
To the Trisolarans, this old earthling is a living devil!
But no Trisolaran would try to kill Luo Ji on board the Gravity.
No Trisolaran would dare to have such an idea.
At least no one dares until they learn to deceive!]
"It's time for the handover." The PDC official broke the ten minutes of silence.
The official wanted to help the elderly Luo Ji up, but Luo Ji waved his hand and refused the official's help and stood up on his own.
Instead of supporting with his hands, he directly used the power of his legs to bounce himself up. Many young people are unable to do this kind of action.
This also shows that Luo Ji is still full of energy and may even live for many more years.
But he just needs to surrender the deterrence in his hands.
No one knows whether Luo Ji, who has been here all year round, knows what has become of the human beings on the surface.
If he knew that human beings had become very different from what he thought, could he persist for so long?
If he knew what happened, could he tell whether this was the trajectory of a Trisolaran?
"Mr. Luo Ji," the official introduced, "this is Cheng Xin, the second person in charge of the highest control of the gravitational wave cosmic broadcast system. Please hand her the broadcast activation switch."
Luo Ji did not answer, but continued to look at the white wall that he had watched for decades, and then bowed deeply.
They are enemies, but enemies are also worthy of respect.
He and Cheng Xin only looked at each other for a brief moment, and then Luo Ji handed the switch shaped like a sword hilt to Cheng Xin, who was shaking slightly. After taking a look at Cheng Xin and the people accompanying her behind her, Luo Ji walked out without being humble or overbearing.
this room.
[Everyone in the world noticed that the official escorts, the people who could survive on earth because of Luo Ji, did not even say a word of thanks to this great man who had protected them for many years.
In contrast to Luo Ji, who bowed respectfully even to his opponents in infinite loneliness, these effeminate social beings in the future era have lost even their courtesy.
Humanity is not grateful to Luo Ji.]
[In Trisolaran World, officials from various countries were a little panicked and called Luo Ji via video call, fearing that Luo Ji would be too disappointed with future humans and that this disappointment would be transferred to current humans.
Whether it is the Gravity's suicide broadcast of coordinates or orbital bombing with a high-tech weapon system that cannot be built on earth for the time being, it is a very bad situation for them.
Some people were comforting Luo Ji, while others were comforting Zhang Beihai.
Both of these are ruthless people, and both have the ability to plunge the earth into despair of destruction, so they can’t afford to offend them!
Especially Zhang Beihai, if it were anyone else, he could also use complex operations to make the Death Star fire the Star Destroyer Cannon.
But Zhang Beihai only needed a thought, and the Death Star could reverse its direction, turning the Earth into dust in the universe and an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Venus.
Their worries were unnecessary. Both of them were wise men and would not do such irrational things because of such things.
After saying their good words, many politicians were sweating coldly as they quickly stamped the documents.
We must prevent the arrival of such a distorted society. Human beings cannot lose their morality!
As long as Luo Ji and Zhang Beihai are not dead, they cannot lose their morality!
On the other side, Cheng Xin stared blankly at the switch handed to her future self in the video.
That is what determines the fate of both worlds...
After knowing that she was the scum of the universe and watching so much of the video from a bystander's perspective, Cheng Xin understood that she was the culprit who would destroy humanity in the future.
Although he clearly had no deterrent power, he ran for office without overestimating his capabilities, and with a huge advantage, he won the highest number of votes in such a distorted society.
All this may be a conspiracy of the Trisolarans.
Whether it was the distortion of society or her decision to run for the Sword Holder, the Trisolarans were not directly involved, but didn't so many coincidences mean that the Trisolarans were manipulating everything behind the scenes?
Otherwise... should I commit suicide?
I am guilty...I need to atone for my sins with my life...
If I live, I will be a huge threat to mankind...
However, the suicide proposal proposed by Cheng Xin and the bodyguard was not accepted.
In the end, the professional bodyguard couldn't hold back anymore. He looked at Cheng Xin and cursed: "Idiot! You don't want to atone for your sins! You want to escape! Your atonement is to live! Live with a lifetime of scolding and self-blame!"]
In the video, after Luo Ji walked out of the door, several fake women in black waiting outside waved their slender arms and walked up to Luo Ji: "Mr. Luo Ji, you have been accused of committing a crime that will destroy the world.
It is an extreme crime. On behalf of the International Court of Justice and all mankind, I will file a lawsuit against you. Please come with us."
The door was not yet closed. Cheng Xin heard the words of her companions. She looked at Luo Ji's back and wanted to say something, but after her lips only opened slightly, she suppressed such thoughts.
Cheng Xin followed Luo Ji's example and sat cross-legged in front of the white wall, her eyes filled with sadness.
If there was a second person in this room, it would be obvious at a glance that Cheng Xin was worried because she had just discovered that it seemed difficult for her to accept such a life.
She doesn't like this kind of loneliness.
As it happens, there are microscopic sophons in the room.
So, not long after Cheng Xingang sat down, perhaps as soon as the high-speed elevator that Luo Ji took reached the Moho discontinuity, a red light lit up in the room.
The white wall that Luo Ji had been staring at turned red, with scary white characters on it: Strong interaction space probe discovered! There are six of them, one of which flies to the Lagrangian point between the earth and the sun, and the other
The five are divided into three formations, one, two, and two, rushing towards the earth at a speed of 25,000 kilometers per second, and are expected to reach the ground in ten minutes!
Cheng Xin stared blankly at the words on the white wall.
Why?
Why destroy peace?
Cheng Xin stayed here, but the dripping didn't stop.
At this time, not many people know where the water drop is hidden, and not many people even know that the water drop is accelerating towards the earth!
The white text on the red wall jumped again: The three formations of strong interaction space detectors are at an average distance of 14 million kilometers from the earth, and the closest distance is 13.5 million kilometers, reaching the ground in nine minutes!
Cheng Xin collapsed on the ground, her eyes full of panic: "What to do... what to do..."
But no one told her that she should press the button immediately and broadcast the coordinates immediately.
Or, even if someone tells her she should do it, she will refuse.
The words on the red wall kept beating, and the Trisolaran water droplet detector kept getting closer. Even though it was a million kilometers away, on an interstellar scale, it was just a stone's throw away!
The video screen flashed with white light, and then showed the images in Cheng Xin's mind: single-celled organisms from ancient times, dinosaurs, ape-men, slaves building pyramids, fusiliers, atomic bomb tests, tall buildings, feasting, babies, and family
…
All the beauty and history kept flashing back in Cheng Xin's mind, but all of them were destroyed by the water droplets falling from the sky.
Mount Everest is like butter, the ocean sets off a tsunami due to the earthquake, there are cries everywhere, and the tree-shaped building collapses like a real tree...
Cheng Xin almost pressed the switch, but she thought of another planet, a civilization that had experienced countless reincarnations of three suns...
"It's gone...it's all gone..." Cheng Xin looked at the switch in her hand tremblingly, muttering, and then threw the switch far away as if throwing something hot.
"No!" Cheng Xin did not look at the words on the red wall with fear, indicating that the water droplets were approaching. Instead, she wrote all her fears on the switch.
