Chapter 78: Master! This is part of the plan!_1

The sky is falling!

What should humanity do?

The invasion of Earth by the Three-Body, an alien civilization with superior technology, is undoubtedly even more terrifying to humanity than the sky falling!

Humanity has always longed to encounter an alien civilization, to find other beings in the vast universe, to feel less alone, to exchange knowledge, to acquire more advanced technology.

But obviously...

The Three-Body Civilization is the last alien civilization that humanity would want to meet!

Not only is their technology formidable, but they are even more ruthless. Judging by the various detailed plans the Trisolarans have devised, they encompass all aspects of humanity, vowing to utterly eradicate it.

Why?

Chang Weisi found the answer from Shen Yufei, as they looked at the background of the Three-Body game, those three orbiting suns, and that terrifyingly chaotic pattern of Chaotic Eras and Stable Eras.

Just by listening,

They could imagine that cycle of civilization being repeatedly destroyed and reborn, of creatures forced to dehydrate, burning like dry wood in despair.

Chang Weisi suddenly understood some of the madness of the Trisolarans upon discovering a planet with natural laws very suitable for their existence.

Just as Logic had said, when the sun is destroyed, all the people of Earth would go mad; they would dare to try any hope, no matter how slim, even if it cost them a sea of blood.

Merely wandering on Earth for two thousand five hundred years.

Merely proliferating for fifty generations in the dark Underground City.

As long as humanity is alive, as long as Humanity has not perished, everything can start over!

Chang Weisi suddenly thought, if one day The Wandering Earth encountered a habitable planet, wouldn't it eye that planet just like the Trisolarans now covet the Earth? Engaging in the same madness?

He hesitated for a long time.

In the end, he still made a choice!

"Humans! There are always things to be done! We, the predecessors, have done it, and even if we don't succeed, we will leave a glimmer of hope for future generations!"

"Shi Qiang! Go start the car! I have to see someone!"

Chang Weisi looked towards the conference room where representatives of other countries were, wondering if he could try to convince one person, but would the leaders of other countries agree?

"You always have to try!"

He murmured to himself, "Someone always has to try!"

...

Meanwhile,

Logic had just begun his true test.

At that moment, he stood on the roof of the base, hands in his pockets, staring into the distance, propelling the Wallfacer's third ring plan, which was only halfway done!

He waited quietly, with footsteps slowly approaching from behind.

A woman with a calm demeanor, dressed in a kimono, looking gentle and refined, slowly walked over.

She bowed to Logic and then came to stand beside him, calmly inquiring, "Logic, the Main has chosen you to take over the leadership of the ETO organization, but you have done nothing to please the Main; the Main is very disappointed in you!"

Her identity was self-evident.

She was the mouthpiece of the Supreme Trisolaran Executor.

Sophon!

Logic shook his head, directly countering, "Everything I do is for the sake of the Three-Body!"

"Yet you haven't followed the Main's will to recruit those scientists, haven't killed Wang Miao, you allowed Shen Yufei to expose herself, and even exposed yourself, all these things! The Main does not understand your actions, but the Main is very disappointed in you!"

"Has the Main ever understood humanity?"

Logic retorted, "In the history of humanity, nearly all wars have involved the use of stratagems, that is to say, using one's own intellect to deceive others. Everything I have done is part of my stratagem, part of my plan!"

"Exposing yourself now, is this part of your plan?"

"It is part of the plan!"

"You proposed the highly problematic Wallfacer plan, was this your idea?"

"It is part of the plan!"

"So what exactly is your plan?"

"I cannot tell you, because that too is part of the plan. You must trust me, everything I do is for the Supreme Executor! For the whole of the Three-Body!"

Logic's eyes blazed with passion, "To build an even mightier, indestructible, eternally prosperous great empire of Three-Body!"

Sophon fell into a long silence.

After a while, she finally spoke, "You haven't said anything more, what do you plan to do next?"

"I need your help. I've built the Third Red Coast Base under the Pacific, part of my plan is to develop the ETO organization there, to prepare for the arrival of the Three-Body Civilization, however…"

Logic changed tack, "I need the Supreme Executor to support me. Humanity's technological progress is simply too rapid, and with my own intelligence, I cannot confront the whole world. I need the Supreme Executor's advanced technology support!"

Having said this.

He added another sentence, "This is part of the plan!"

Sophon fell silent again.

Logic waited, unable to see but guessing the intense debate that must be happening on the Trisolaris Planet at that moment.

"I believe he is not lying. We really should provide some technical support to assist him in the rapid development within Earth, expanding the influence of the ETO organization."

"I object. Logic is an Earthling, we cannot see his thoughts and don't know his true intentions. I sense fear and do not want to support him with technology!"

"I also object. Logic is clever; he has researched Shoji Technology, managing to elude Sophon's surveillance. We cannot monitor his actions in real-time. If he gets access to more of our technology, he might enable humanity to develop even more formidable science. I refuse to support him with technology!"

"Logic is an Earthling, merely an insect. Our fleet will reach Earth in just four hundred years, and they won't live to see that time, nor will they possibly develop stronger technology."

"We no longer need Logic! We don't even need the ETO. Our understanding of Earth has already surpassed all Earthlings, there's no need for further interaction with them!"

"Earthlings are adept at deception; Trisolarans do not need lies. We refuse to communicate with Earth!"

"Managing the data from Sophon's surveillance of Earth consumes a massive amount of Trisolaran manpower, and the current era cannot support such a huge expenditure of manpower. I propose we deny the request!"

"The Supreme Executor need not answer!"

The Supreme Trisolaran Executor fell into contemplation, listening to the Trisolarans' discussion, and finally made a choice, "Share some of the more outdated technical information with Logic, let him lead a portion of Earthlings to study our technology, to eventually follow our path."

Following the path of the Trisolarans.

Ultimately, they can only follow the old path of the Trisolarans.

In this way, Earthlings will not experience a technological explosion, which would not cause fear for the Trisolarans.

But after pondering for a moment, he added, "These materials will arrive on Earth in six months!"

Six months!

That was the deadline set by the Supreme Trisolaran Executor. In this way, they could not only select technologies with no potential for development that would consume massive resources but also use this to observe if Logic had been lying or deceiving them.

Is this really part of the plan?

Perhaps it is…

It sounds genuine!

ps: Today 4,300 words.

It turns out you all like to read about Three-Body; I always felt my writing on Three-Body was a bit lacking, and I thought the readers didn't like it, so I started a side story to write something more substantial, but it turns out you only like Three-Body…

Sigh, so you like this style…

Changing the outline!

Focusing on the Three-Body world.
