Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 262 Use your brain

"Governor, the fleet has successfully entered the Oort Cloud, and the stealth equipment is activating."

"Open the hatch cantilever and detect that the drone has been released."

"Safety hazard investigation in progress...Safe, no signs of hostile detector activity detected."

Within the brainwave communication frequency band, the Second Fleet Commander-in-Chief, former Military Governor, is listening to a report from his subordinates.

"Well done. Just as we expected, humanity didn't deploy many defenses in the Oort Cloud."

As he spoke, he uploaded a visualization map to the brain communication band.

"Look at this, an old gadget from the last century. If we calculate it by human standards, these detection devices are old enough to be their grandfathers. To expect these things to serve as an outer defense line is a bit too naive."

"Perhaps they never intended to set up any defenses at all. Judging from the data transmitted back by the Sophon, they detonated the coordinates more than a decade ago. The solar system is now an absolute danger zone."

"That's true."

"I never expected that these insects would actually dare to attract the attention of a higher civilization. That swordsman... I admire him. If we weren't on opposite sides, I would really like to have a chat with him. I think I would get along with him better than those old men in the council."

Just as Qili was pondering her next move, an external communication was initiated.

"A letter from Yun Tianming, the thirteenth governor... that's quite rare. I thought that bug had died in the last century."

Qili had just transmitted these words into the brain subnetwork when he realized his slip of the tongue and quickly corrected himself.

"However, since the other party chose to contact us first, it seems that he still knows what the wisest choice is."

As a military governor, Chili didn't really think much of this fairy tale writer who was ranked last.

However, it cannot be denied that they have indeed made outstanding contributions to their own civilization.

It can be said that their current possession of a second fleet is inextricably linked to the other side.

In addition, Yun Tianming had an excellent reputation among the lower classes, and even among his followers, there were many devout believers.

Even in the overall design of the Second Fleet, there are many places that pay homage to this last governor.

It can be said that at his peak, Yun Tianming's status was even on par with that of the head of state.

"Please bring him in. I haven't seen him in a long time. It's truly a blessing to see an old friend in this vast universe."

As soon as Qi Li gave the order, a few breaths later, Yun Tianming's face, which was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, appeared on the buoyancy control panel above the ship.

"Long time no see, Qili. I just detected your coordinates. You've already infiltrated the Oort Cloud. You're really fast."

Qili's face did not show much expression. Having used brainwave communication for a long time, they had long been accustomed to not showing their emotions.

"Stop with your usual human pleasantries and get down to business. You didn't come here just to prove you're still alive, did you?"

"Of course not."

Yun Tianming smiled. Even now, he still exudes a gentle aura, much like his title in the Three-Body world: the Archon who brings people a beautiful fairy tale.

"I have two pieces of good news that I think might be able to resolve your current predicament, so I came to see you specifically."

As soon as Yun Tianming finished speaking, a star map coordinate information was sent over.

"D, we're lucky. We've found a solid planet similar to Earth. Although its ecosystem is much worse than Earth's, the planet itself has the minimum living conditions required."

"I sent a search ship there two years in advance. Perhaps this place will become our second home."

Qi Li was startled upon hearing this and quickly checked the planetary data sent by Yun Tianming.

The planetary coordinates sent by Yun Tianming were indeed those of an Earth-like planet. It was not too far from the solar system, but it would also not be affected by the Dark Forest attack.

The only drawback is probably the less-than-perfect ecosystem on this planet.

But this was good enough for the Trisolarans, since compared to where they used to live, this place was like paradise.

"Why wasn't it discovered sooner?"

When Qili said this, he actually still had some doubts in his heart.

After all, the Trisolarans' choice to attack Earth was actually a very reluctant one.

There are too many civilizations in the universe, but too few planets that can support the growth of a civilization.

As a Type II civilization, we are nothing more than a tiny speck of dust in the universe.

Any exploration of other planets could bring disaster upon one's entire civilization.

After all, you have no idea what level of civilization inhabits the planet you're exploring.

If Ye Wenjie hadn't proactively provided the coordinates to the Trisolarans, allowing them to determine Earth's true level of civilization, they probably wouldn't have dared to set foot in the solar system for the rest of their lives.

"Who knows? Maybe they didn't dare to go all out to scan before, but you should know the situation of our First Fleet. We're almost out of fuel. I'd rather die in enemy fire than die in the ship's hold."

Yun Tianming shrugged indifferently.

"But it seems that God has been very kind to me. He gave me a very habitable planet, which serves as our second home."

"Send me its dynamic coordinates."

Qili is getting impatient. What have they been fighting wits and courage against human civilization for all these years?

Isn't it all about finding a home that suits you?

Now, that home is within reach.

Although the Trisolaran civilization is long gone, as long as there is fertile ground for civilization to flourish, the seeds of its legacy will be passed down from generation to generation.

"That won't do!"

Yun Tianming flatly refused.

“As I just said, we’ve run out of fuel and have no way to get here. So the Second Fleet needs to come here first to supply us with fuel before I can provide the planet’s dynamic coordinates.”

"Are you... threatening me?"

A hint of displeasure flashed through Qili's mind. As a military governor, he had never been fond of human schemes, and now Yun Tianming was playing mind games with him, which made him feel quite annoyed.

"If that's what you think... then so be it. I need to ensure the safety of everyone in my fleet before I give you the specific coordinates. If you're not willing to provide us with fuel, then we can all just drift here and become space junk."

"Use your brain, mason. We need fuel. If we had enough fuel, do you think I'd still be here waiting for you?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Yun Tianming's face.

"And there's a big surprise in store, which might interest you and make you change your mind and come pick us up."

As he spoke, Yun Tianming sent a photo over.

"Guess who we captured? The second Swordholder of mankind, Thomas Wade!"
