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

Chapter 220 Don't waste time

Fifteen days after the broadcast was launched.

Panic began to spread among the lower classes, and every now and then, some people, unable to bear the mental pressure, chose to end their own lives or do something crazy to vent their inner emotions.

But the construction speed of RimWorld did not slow down; on the contrary, it became faster.

Just as Vader had thought, his desperate move, which seemed to have driven humanity to a dead end, actually ushered in an unprecedented era of unification within human society.

Inside the force field, Lin Xuan and Zhi Zi sat facing each other. However, this game of chess was different from the previous ones. Both Lin Xuan and Zhi Zi played with extra caution, afraid of making a mistake due to their momentary carelessness.

Lin Xuan stretched and casually cleared away the dense list of shock value notifications in her mind.

Since Vader started broadcasting, the shock value of all mankind has been frantically flooding his screen. The shock value reserves he had squeezed out to build the Navigator are climbing at a rocket speed.

Almost there, almost enough.

Lin Xuan secretly grumbled to herself.

For me now, breaking through this force field space is not difficult, but what happens after I break through?

I'm not confident that I can defeat the Trisolaran civilization on my own.

Even if we could win, the price we would pay would be extremely high, and the entire Earth and even the solar system might be on the verge of collapse.

What is the point of such a victory?

A civilization without people can never be considered a civilization.

Although Lin Xuan admired Wade's courage, she also felt that his methods were a bit too extreme.

Perhaps it's a difference in their philosophies. Wade is a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, while Lin Xuan, as someone who transmigrated to this world, always believes that she should create a more perfect ending.

That's why he's been playing with Zhizi here for so many years, accumulating strength and waiting for the crucial moment to completely wipe out the entire Trisolaran civilization!

As for the Trisolarans, they're probably secretly pleased to be trapped here, probably thinking that's all the power they have left.

Lin Xuan simply smiled at this.

The foolish Trisolarans.

I'm waiting for my skills to cool down, what are you waiting for?

“Mr. Lin Xuan, it seems that even you have exhausted all your tricks.”

Tomoko's voice drifted over slowly. She was still wearing that light blue kimono and looked harmless.

"Compared to the previous four games, your trap repetition rate in this game is as high as 64.13%, and the number of habitual moves reaches 92.44%. This shows that even you have almost run out of strategies left in your mind."

As Tomoko said this, she made a smug expression on her face at just the right moment.

"The idea that humans can defeat artificial intelligence is just a fairy tale. I admit that humans do have very good subjective thinking, but in terms of learning speed, as artificial intelligence, I have already left all of humanity far behind."

"Humans have also developed artificial intelligence. With your technological means, you should already realize how terrifying I am as an artificial intelligence. Even if the technological levels of the Trisolaran civilization and Earth's civilization were switched at the beginning, given ten years, I am confident that I can lead the Trisolaran civilization to catch up with Earth's civilization."

Hearing Zhizi's sarcasm, Lin Xuan didn't take it to heart. He stroked his chin and slowly spoke.

"Can't you change your clothes? You've been wearing this kimono for decades, I'm so tired of it."

Upon hearing this, Tomoko remained silent for two seconds, then casually waved her hand, and her blue-green kimono was replaced with a Tang Dynasty-style robe.

This type of clothing is not made from a single piece of fabric; the upper part has two long sleeves, designed to make the wearer's figure appear more graceful during dances. During the Tang Dynasty, this type of clothing was popular among imperial concubines and singers and dancers.

"It looks much better this way."

As Lin Xuan spoke, she placed another piece on the chessboard, setting a new trap.

……

Star Ring Group, Earth Orbit.

Ai AA, dressed in a red cheongsam, sat back in her chair. On the screen in front of her, engineering ships were dismembering the entire planet Venus.

Five years ago, Project Halo entered its final phase, but the existing metal ores were no longer sufficient to fill the gap in the construction of this behemoth.

Therefore, after discussions between the Minister of Science and the Star Ring Group, it was decided to blow up Venus and extract usable materials for the construction of the ring project.

In fact, Wang Miao's initial plan was to blow up Mercury, which would have been useful for the stellar-class hydrogen bomb that Radiaz had placed on the surface of Mercury.

However, the Earth Federation rejected the proposal. After all, considering the gravitational forces, blowing up Mercury could have irreversible and terrible consequences for the Sun. Even if humanity could withstand such a risk with its current capabilities, the resources required would be enormous, which would be detrimental to the construction of the entire Halo project.

In the same year, Rediaz also rejected the proposal. Although he was deeply moved to see someone actually blow up Mercury one day, he was even more aware of how unpredictable the consequences of blowing up Mercury would be.

As long as humanity doesn't do anything reckless, once the Halo Project is completed, they will definitely win against the Trisolarans. If this had happened before the Deterrence Act, the Earth Federation would have blown up Mercury without hesitation, or even Earth, to provide more metal minerals.

But there's no need to gamble now. With the economy leading the way, let's not be reckless!
