Chapter 15: Three-Body Universe Monitor No. 1379
Hearing these three “don’t answer”, Li Jie immediately thought of “The Three-Body Problem”.
"Calm down, buddy."
After Li Jie said this, the other party calmed down. He didn't think it was the effect of his words, but because the other party was a restrained person.
After a few simple exchanges, he understood the other party's identity.
He is indeed a person related to the Three-Body Problem.
Birthplace: Three-Body Planet.
Occupation: Monitor No. 1379.
Trisolaran is a planet with three suns and is about four light-years away from Earth. The environment there is extremely harsh, so after long years of selective evolution, the Trisolarans have abandoned their emotions and become calm and numb.
Monitor No. 1379 is a rare Trisolaran who still retains emotions.
After receiving the message from Earth sent by Ye Wenjie, a warning was issued, warning the people on Earth not to respond. As long as they did not respond, the distance between Earth and Trisolaran would not be determined.
Then it is possible that the Earth civilization will not be destroyed by the Three-Body Civilization.
Just before No. 1379 received Li Jie's call, he had just issued a warning to the Earth that his superiors would soon send people to arrest him, so he was a little nervous.
“Is the Earth beautiful?”
No. 1379 learned that Li Jie was an Earthling, so he asked.
Li Jie thought for a moment and said, "Sunrise and sunset are the most beautiful sights on earth."
Sunrise and sunset are the most terrifying scenery on the Three-Body Planet.
Every moment on Trisolaran is uncertain.
It may be peaceful and tranquil one moment and turn into hell on earth the next.
Sunrise means the earth may turn into a sea of fire, and sunset means the earth may turn into an ice field.
If even they became beautiful sights on Earth, as if hell had become heaven, then how wonderful would the real heaven be?
These made No. 1379 wonder, and he expressed his gratitude: "I understand now, thank you."
Li Jie said: "You are the hero of the Earth."
No. 1379 said: "You are also a sinner of my civilization. I will be forced to dehydrate and then die in flames. I am glad to know you before I die. I have no regrets in this life."
In the Three-Body Civilization, one is either guilty or innocent, and the punishment for criminals is the same.
Forced dehydration and then burned to death.
The Three-Body System is a civilization that pursues efficiency to the extreme. There is no aging population and no unemployment rate. All those who are too old to work and all those who cannot find a job will be dehydrated and burned to death.
In the truest sense, everyone is a screw.
Li Jie said: "You won't die."
In fact, the average lifespan of the Trisolarans is about the same as that of the humans on Earth, but No. 1379 lived for more than two hundred Earth years.
This kind of lifespan is not something that the low-level Trisolaran No. 1379 can enjoy.
Because the head of the Three-Body Civilization knows that physical death penalty is meaningless to No. 1379, he wants No. 1379 to see the day when the Earth civilization he wants to save loses hope.
In short, it can be summed up in four words:
Murder and kill!
When No. 1379 heard Li Jie's words, he remembered a sentence that often appeared in history: "You are pretending to be a great prophet again", but he knew that this sentence was not a prophecy, but a blessing from a friend.
"Thank you."
he whispered.
After saying this, he felt that he had lost contact with his friend named Li Jie.
Communication is down.
This made him a little sad, as he would never hear the voice of his first and only friend again.
Not long after, the people sent by his superiors to arrest him arrived and brought him before the Führer.
If it weren't for this warning to the Earth, he would never have been able to meet the Führer in his lifetime.
He thought he was going to be executed, so he made an impassioned speech and said out everything he had been holding in his heart, and then... the Führer actually let him go.
He even has to live until the day when Earth civilization loses hope.
This is a disguised way of extending his life.
He was not happy. Seeing the hope he had given away being extinguished, he felt heartbroken. If his friend Li Jie was on that Earth, he might be able to change everything. Unfortunately, although Li Jie was an Earthling, he did not belong to the Earth of this universe.
"Friend, can you hear me?"
At this time, Li Jie's voice sounded again in No. 1379's mind.
The communication was interrupted before because the Shura Summoning Device ran out of power. This time the communication was restored because he had fully charged it with Qiao Feng's strongest energy.
"You came."
Number 1379 smiled.
Keeping emotions in the Three-Body Civilization would only make him feel lonely. Warning the Earth made him feel that his life was not wasted, and having this Earthling friend made him feel that he was no longer lonely.
He said: "Thank you for your blessing, I am really not dead."
"congratulations."
Li Jie congratulated him and said, "I searched for a world with high technology by sending messages, and I found you on the 399th time."
No. 1379 listened quietly and exclaimed: "You are very lucky."
A universe, no, a galaxy is very big.
What’s more, the multiverse and the myriad worlds are countless times larger than the universe, and their size is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Three hundred and ninety-nine times may seem like a lot, but in fact, if compared to the size of the heavens, it is just a drop of water in the ocean, not worth mentioning.
Li Jie only had to search 1379 times to find No. . This was extraordinary luck.
It's like being embraced by the goddess of luck!
Li Jie said frankly: "I want to learn the technology of your civilization from you."
He was happy to find the Three-Body World because the level of technology in the Three-Body World was very high.
Even if it is just the Three-Body Civilization, it has the technology to create intelligent particles and water droplets.
The sophon is realized by transforming protons, which involves the technology of dimensionality reduction and dimensionality increase.
Even the Gengqi Vajra can only transform molecular structures, but Zhizi can actually transform protons. This alone is worth learning.
Maybe it can be used to upgrade the Gengqi Vajra in the future!
No. 1379 said: "I am just a monitor. I don't understand those high technologies, nor can I access them."
"What if you become the Fuhrer?"
Li Jie felt a little dazed after listening to his own words. He was persuading people to rebel again.
Last time he persuaded Qiao Feng to rebel, this time he persuaded a Trisolarian to rebel.
Number 1379 said, "How can I become the head of state?"
Li Jie said: "You have me. We can meet and talk across endless time and space. What else is impossible?"
No. 1379 said: "Civilization needs to survive. For this civilization to survive, it needs a rational leader, not me."
He retains emotions, which makes him irrational and detrimental to his survival.
Li Jie said: "It is precisely because of your existence that this civilization deserves help."
"There are many possibilities in the multiverse, and you also have more choices, including ways to allow your civilization to continue without harming the happiness of other civilizations."
"You are a hero of Earth's civilization, and you can be a hero of your civilization."
"...Let me think about it." No. 1379 was somewhat tempted, but had not made up his mind.
Because this determination involves too much.
Moreover, he is not as love-brained as Wang Yuyan. Although he has feelings, he is still a restrained and steady person, and he cannot be persuaded by just a few words.
Li Jie could understand, so he said, "This call ends here. I hope you've made a decision by the next time we call."
No. 1379 said, "Goodbye, then."
"Goodbye."
After Li Jie finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
