Chapter 1832: Extending Life

Why don't the people on Earth escape when they know they can't beat the Trisolarans? The reason is simple. It's just that not everyone can leave the Earth. Escapism means abandoning most of humanity and only escaping a small part, so it is considered an unforgivable idea.

So even if many elites want to escape, they dare not say it.

Ordinary people want to escape, but they don't have the ability to escape. If they can't escape, they can only oppose escapism.

The final result is that humans are trapped on Earth and watch the Trisolarans miss the opportunity to escape again and again.

In fact, humans had a chance to escape once, that was the era of reformism. At that time, humans could completely turn into robots and leave the Earth, but unfortunately humans gave up the opportunity at that time.

Now there is no way to escape. Human spaceships have been destroyed and they are completely trapped in the universe. According to speculation, the Trisolarans have mastered the light speed engine, and the next wave of Trisolarans will only take a few years to reach the Earth.

Human civilization has entered the countdown. Everyone uses the smile of the smiling goddess to numb themselves, but some people find that the goddess is also a fake, and is deceived by the Earth government. The civilians finally exploded and rushed into the Earth government’s institutions to capture all politicians and civil servants and send them to the surface to prepare for a grand barbecue party.

The fake goddess ignited everyone’s anger, and the head of the Earth government was tied to the stake.

At this time, no one cares about order. Anyway, civilization is going to be destroyed and everyone is going to die. Let humans go crazy for the last time.

Only Luo Ji, who is suffering from illness, is still silently carrying out his plan to face the wall, but now no one cares about him. He can’t even find someone to treat his illness. Those who believed in him finally abandoned him.

Just like those who believed in the Earth government, destroyed the Earth government again.

The most ironic thing is that Luo Ji has never forgotten his mission. The Earth government also brought out the fake goddess to calm everyone down and prevent everyone from giving up hope.

It’s a pity that how can the efforts of a few people resist the madness of the majority? On the eve of the destruction of civilization, mankind has collapsed. Most people cannot face death calmly, and they all vent their fear in a hysterical manner.

Luo Ji dug a pit for himself, ready to be buried here after he died. But when he finished digging the pit, he raised his hand. There was a bracelet on his wrist: "Zhizi, I want to talk to your master. There is a cradle system on my wrist. As long as I die, those oil film bombs in the universe will explode, and then the sun will become a flash, flashing to the entire universe and exposing the location of the solar system."

The last wall-facer completed the final plan. Those oil film bombs laid around the sun were not for tracking the trajectory of water droplets, but to block the light of the sun. The sun will flash and become the only star in the solar system that has been to a nightclub, announcing its existence to the entire universe.

And this means that a civilization more advanced than the Trisolarians will discover the sun, and the earth will also be discovered. Once this happens, the earth will no longer be safe, and the Trisolarians' colonization plan will be ruined. They cannot fly from one dead star to another.

The Trisolarans were shocked. In the end, they were still tricked by the tiny earthlings. As expected of the dangerous elements that once surpassed Duran, Luo Ji finally grasped the truth of the universe.

The universe is a dark forest where you can't see your hand in front of your face. Every civilization is a hunter with a gun walking carefully in it. They don't want to be discovered. If the hunters discover each other, there is only one thing they can do, that is, pull the trigger to kill the opponent.

The premise of this truth is that the speed of light is constant, the resources of the universe are limited, the technology is exploding, and there is a chain of suspicion. That is what Ye Wenjie told Luo Ji. Only after mastering these premises can the "Dark Forest Theory" be derived.

Luo Ji succeeded. With his disabled body, he used his plan to intimidate the entire Trisolarans.

Now all the Trisolarans can do is to save Luo Ji's life and agree to all his conditions. Withdraw the water drops and immigrant troops that are still on the road, provide technology for the earth, and build a high-power transmission tower.

The Trisolarans said that everything is easy to talk about, and they all agreed.

The earth was saved? !

When the large barbecue party ended and the mass suicide came to an end, the survivors stood in the sea of ​​corpses and blood and suddenly woke up. They were saved and no longer needed to be colonized by the Trisolarians, and no longer needed to worry about the invasion of the Earth.

Standing in the neat sea of ​​corpses, the survivors could not laugh. But since they could survive, they would cherish their lives.

The survivors reorganized into the Earth government and continued to manage the world. Luo Ji became a deterrent, known as the "Sword Bearer", who threatened the Trisolarians with self-destruction.

In fact, Luo Ji was like Rey Diaz, who crashed into the sun when Mercury hit the sun. In order to prevent the enemy from getting the earth, he destroyed it first. It's just that Luo Ji has the ability to destroy it, but he won't do it until the last critical moment, which becomes a deterrent. Rey Diaz wanted to destroy the solar system and commit suicide before the last moment, and became a criminal against humanity.

However, when a person has the ability to destroy the earth, it won't take long for humans to fear him.

"I am a good example." Duran appeared in Luo Ji's room, and his wife and children were playing in the courtyard outside the house.

This was the first time that Luo Ji and Duran met. Duran came to praise Luo Ji: "Congratulations on extending the life of mankind by fifty years."

Luo Ji had long heard of Duran's name. He had heard that Duran had proposed many shocking plans, but he didn't understand why Duran could live so long. Was he a clone or a robot? Duran suddenly appeared, and he didn't know what his purpose was.

At this time, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, and it was peaceful and peaceful. It seemed that the previous bloody storm had completely dissipated. The piles of bones at the barbecue scene were no longer mentioned, and everyone lived their lives quietly.

Luo Ji's courtyard was even calmer. As the sword bearer of the earth, his health and safety were always watched by the earth and the Trisolarans, because the cradle system would start as long as it could not detect Luo Ji's life characteristics, so he must not die.

Under such strict supervision, Duran still appeared.

Luo Ji did not object to Duran's statement of extending his life for 50 years. He was a sociologist and knew the nature of human nature. He understood that Duran was saying that the next sword bearer would no longer be a deterrent.

Sword bearers need to have the courage to destroy mankind to be competent, but unfortunately there are too few such people. Whether or not to find a second Luo Ji is the most important issue for the future of mankind.

"You didn't leave the Earth with the Zerg?" Luo Ji was not afraid, and naturally chatted with Duran. They would both become people feared by humans, and to some extent, they shared the same pain.

"No, the Zerg are going to expand and reproduce in the universe. This kind of mechanical and repetitive work is not suitable for me. I like work that requires inspiration. The Earth can keep me inspired, so I stayed." Duran said.

"The Trisolarans will be here soon, and you should have enough knowledge about them." Luo Ji believed that a crazy scientist like Duran would definitely be able to get enough information from the Trisolarans.

The Trisolarans are going to have their first contact with the Earthlings. They are here to support human technology and communicate with humans peacefully. They will help humans restore technology and start more cooperation.

"They are very interesting, and I like the Trisolarans very much." Duran said that the Trisolarans have not been broken by him yet, and they can be said to be very sturdy toys.

Luo Ji also laughed, but he was somewhat helpless. He couldn't be as open-minded as Duran, who didn't seem to care about the Trisolarans at all. Is this what they mean by a strong man who doesn't care about external conditions? A strong man like Duran can take root and survive in any environment, and his ideas will be passed down, whether on Earth or on Trisolaran.
