Chapter 6 Trisolaran Governor Meeting_2

The construction of the Second Fleet has been suspended due to the construction of Sophon. The Sophon project cannot be paused; we have no more resources to spare.

Whether it is our home planet or the First Fleet, most people are in a state of dehydration, maintaining only the lowest level of resource consumption, and we can no longer provide more computing resources."

After 200 rounds of civilization consumption, the resources of the Trisolaran world have already become extremely scarce. Coupled with the slow pace of technological development, they have been extremely frugal with every bit of energy.

Otherwise, they wouldn't need 450 years to reach the Solar System on ships that could reach the highest speed of 10% the speed of light (given the Trisolaran Star System is 4.3 light-years away, it should take only 43 years to get here).

Because they collect antimatter in the universe, they constantly accelerate and decelerate, and they need to stop frequently to repair the ship. 10% the speed of light poses a great challenge to the ship, moving and stopping intermittently, requiring 450 years in the end to reach the Solar System.

Supreme Leader: "Alright, the application of the Science Governor is rejected.

The issue before us is, what is the true intention of PDC?

If we break the wall, will it leak our intelligence?

What is Lin Sen's true intention?

Does he want us to break the wall, or does he not want us to break the wall?"

Strategy Governor: "Supreme Leader, I too felt distressed at the beginning. We cannot discern his true intention.

Based on human strategic mathematical models, we analyzed strategies contained in similar dialogues that occurred 127 times in human civilization.

Regarding such issues, we need not consider Lin Sen's true intention, we only need to consider what choice is most beneficial for us and ignore the rest.

Lin Sen's words are somewhat like those in human civilization, 'teasing' us.

Regarding the wall-breaking plan, my opinion is still that we need the Earth-Trisolaris Organization (ETO) to figure out the Wallfacer's plans, and the mazes of the Wallfacer's mind. Only ETO can break the wall for us.

I propose that we do not initiate communication with ETO for the time being. We just need them to research the Wallfacer's plan. What we need to do is to not disclose our intelligence, not pay excessive attention to PDC.

All we need is for ETO to decipher the thinking maze of the Wallfacer. After breaking through the Wallfacer's plan, our best response is to give no response at all!"

Supreme Leader: "Proposal accepted! This meeting has once again passed the resolution for ETO to carry out the wall-breaking plan.

Regarding the fourth layer of Lin Sen's Wallfacer plan, what are your opinions?"

Strategy Governor: "Judging by Lin Sen's micro-expressions and behavior, there's a 94% probability that the Wallfacer plan includes a fourth-layer stratagem.

Even Lin Sen believes the fourth layer surpasses all the strategems of the previous three layers.

And it seems that Lin Sen considers the fourth layer capable of posing a threat to us.

We have also reviewed all his past activities; it seems as though he has changed into a different person in an instant.

All human behavioral models have now failed on Lin Sen."

Supreme Leader: "Then, regarding Lin Sen, what does everyone think we should do?

He certainly has extraordinary wisdom and strategems. Although he has not yet shown a threat to us, having been in contact with Logic for a long time, it is very likely that Logic may disclose Ye Wenjie's secret code to him.

If disclosed, he might pose a threat to us.

If he becomes aware of the Dark Forest Theory, the threat he poses to us will exceed that of Logic by an order of magnitude."

Everyone fell silent and did not communicate for a long time.

Finally, only the Strategy Governor stood up: "We shall still watch and wait. The last lesson Evans taught us was to hide our thoughts. Taking no action is the best action.

Based on ETO's current power, it is impossible for them to assassinate the heavily guarded Logic and Lin Sen. Should it come to a desperate situation, we can only transfer some technology to ETO, to enable them to assassinate Logic and Lin Sen."

Supreme Leader: "Resolution passed. Finally, it is necessary to have a trial for the Sophon Governor of this occasion!"

Sophon Governor: "Supreme Leader, I have made an unforgivable mistake, I am guilty, and I request to be executed (In the Trisolaran world, trials only yield guilt or innocence, the guilty die, the innocent face no punishment).

We are still children in terms of strategem. I should not have thought that having learned a bit of strategem, I could use that naïve strategem on ETO, saying that I trust them, which instead made them believe that I don't, thereby confirming my inadequacy in strategem!

I am not suited for this job, and being unsuitable for the job is a sin."

However, through my failure, I have also realized something.

We have always considered strategem to be a means of deceiving others, without ever thinking about what strategem is, what is the essence of strategem?

I hope that the next Sophon Governor can comprehend the essence of strategem. I believe this is very important, even for Trisolaris... it is the true hope!"

Supreme Leader: "Your crime does not necessitate a death sentence.

However, since you have proposed it, I agree to your request.

You will hand over all your duties to the second Sophon Governor.

Then go do the dehydration, turning into a kindling!"

Sophon Governor: "Thank you, Supreme Leader!"

The Sophon Governor quietly left. In the Trisolaran world, there isn't even a stringent law enforcement agency.

In some ways, the individuals are capable of understanding each other's will. A resolution passed will be executed without shirking or deception.

The Strategy Governor saw the Sophon Governor stepping out, and as the meeting had also come to an end, he followed them out.

Strategy Governor: "Lord Sophon Governor, you did not have to die. Although your use of strategem was inappropriate, it did not cause great harm and could be pardoned without being declared guilty!

Why did you choose to do this?
