Chapter 100 The Terror of the Singer Civilization_1

Earth had ushered in an era of boundless brightness and frenzied joy.

Because they were about to welcome even more advanced technology.

What did technology mean?

Better living environments!

More abundant food!

More advanced technological products!

And more advanced medical conditions!

Once Three-Body technology was introduced, the survival rate of Earthlings would soar, while the mortality rate would plummet. From the unimaginable generations living under one roof in ancient times, this could extend to perhaps six or even seven generations in the future.

The walls of hospitals.

Perhaps they wouldn't need to hear the most sincere prayers of a patient's relatives from the heart anymore!

Technology.

The power of technology!

Almost everyone who had experienced the new age's wave knew very well the benefits that technology brought, especially in the years when the internet was about to rise. Those airplanes that could fly in the sky, spaceships that could enter space, submarines that could dive into the deep sea, and mobile phones that could communicate over thousands of miles--the benefits of these technologies were just too many to count.

In the newly established Sky Edge Forum, the threads about Logic were flooded with millions of comments. In this new era of the internet, countless people's enthusiasm had pushed Logic to an almost impossible height.

He had become, after the new age,

The second god!

They were celebrating madly, celebrating the new era that humanity was about to welcome.

In the face of such a national and even global festive atmosphere, Logic's expression was actually quite calm. He stood on the balcony of his room, gazing into the distance.

It was very secluded here.

Especially after he became humanity's new god, everyone was especially adoring of him. To prevent crazy female fans from doing anything inhumane, this mountain was directly sealed off, open only to him.

Thus, it became even quieter here!

Logic watched silently for a while, and Sophon walked over slowly with a teacup in hand, smiling faintly and bowing slightly to Logic, "Mr. Logic, please have some tea."

"No need to be so polite." Logic leaned back in his chair and spoke indifferently, "I believe you already have a very deep understanding of my character. I am not someone who goes to extremes over trivial matters. I remind myself at all times that I hold the fate of two civilizations in my hands!"

He leaned forward slightly, looking directly at Sophon, "Let everything begin, summon your leader. Let us have a talk!"

"I am very honored to have this opportunity, and I am very grateful that you, Mr. Logic, have changed your mind," she said.

Sophon bowed slightly once again, and then the faint smile on her face dissipated, replaced by an indifferent expression devoid of any emotion.

Her eyes sparkled with an unusual radiance. Almost instantly, after a flash of light, she regained the dark black pupils similar to those of humans.

"We are very curious..."

Sophon spoke with a hint of perplexity, "During our last meeting, it seemed we didn't part on pleasant terms, and even reached a point of rupture. According to the personality of Earthlings, major changes shouldn't occur in such a short period."

"Mr. Logic!"

"You seem to have encountered some events recently!"

Logic did not respond immediately but thoughtfully looked at the opposite side, always feeling that the Trisolarans' understanding of Earthlings seemed a bit too thorough...

When he previously had contact with Evans,

The attitude of the Trisolarans was one of contempt, coupled with a bit of apprehension.

Even with Logic's later deterrence changing their attitude towards Earthlings, it had only been a few days.

Logic took note of this, showing no change in his expression, and said the prepared lines he had ready. He closed his eyes tightly, expressing with a tone of fear and trepidation an incredible piece of news to the Three-Body Civilization, "I have discovered a higher-level civilization, right around our planet! They could very well launch a Dark Forest strike against us!"

"What?"

Upon Logic uttering these words, the Sophon before him froze instantly.

The supreme leader of Trisolaris Planet and the analysts below were all greatly shocked, exchanging incredulous glances from side to side.

If it was true.

It would indeed be a message as shattering as the sky falling and the earth splitting apart!

An advanced civilization so close to theirs that even if Trisolaris and Earth refrained from emitting gravitational waves, it was very likely the other side would discover them and they would face a Dark Forest strike.

No one dared to pinpoint the timing of such an event.

Maybe it was a matter of decades.

Maybe it was a few hundred years.

This also explained why Earth's Wallfacer, Logic, suddenly changed his attitude towards the Three-Body Civilization.

It was a perfectly reasonable explanation!

But if what Logic had said was false...

The Trisolarans were engaged in communication; they could tune into the thoughts inside the minds of others without the need for spoken language.

They clearly perceived one another's speculations.

They were contemplating.

Having become a Wallfacer, Logic was an Earthling incapable of observing thoughts. So was mentioning a higher-level civilization possibly a ploy to buy time?

The Trisolarans were instantly engaged in a mental exchange. They could not make a decision, as the message was too important.

One careless move,

and they would trigger a Dark Forest strike!

All eyes were fixed on the highest leader of Trisolaris, yet the supreme leader's gaze rested upon another individual.

That person was...

Ye Wenjie!

At that moment, her appearance was almost identical to that on Earth, and even her aura was strikingly similar, as if she had simply passed through a wormhole from Earth to Trisolaris Planet.

Ye Wenjie watched Logic intently, her eyes filled with contemplation, and none of the Trisolarans could discern her thoughts. She spoke calmly, "Let him continue speaking, the more he says, the more evident the mistakes will become!"

The conversation was ongoing.

Logic continued to share his intelligence, "I received this message from my own miniature universe civilization, which was wiped out by an unknown higher-level civilization. They could seal off a tiny Two-Dimensional Fragment with a force field, then release the force field, causing the three-dimensional space where the fragment existed to collapse, reducing all space to two dimensions and instantly obliterating a star system."

Logic's expression was complicated, "This is a lower-dimensional attack, and from beginning to end, my inherited civilization never saw any trace of the enemy. It was like discarding trash, dropping that tiny Two-Dimensional Fragment..."

A lower-dimensional attack!

A tiny Two-Dimensional Fragment.

Instantly destroying a star system.

"What is the method of survival?"

The Trisolarans felt fear; they eagerly asked for the solution.

"The expansion velocity of a lower-dimensional attack isn't quick. One only needs to pilot a Lightspeed Spaceship to escape, but ultimately one can't flee very far..."

Using a Lightspeed Spaceship.

Would leave traces in space.

The other side would pilot an even more advanced spacecraft to hunt them down!

An absolute road to death!

The Three-Body Civilization instantly fell into silence; the Dark Forest they had always feared was truly not far from them now!
