Chapter 147 The Strange Trisolarans
The day after the launch ceremony,
The highest office in the central building.
The goddess, with her flowing sleeves and white jade fingers, dabbled in tea, while the leader, with a smile in his eyes and an expression of pure admiration, gave the impression of an old married couple.
Xiling, dressed in a light white cloud-patterned spring-like robe that resembled a flowing tassel draped over her body, was extremely pleasing to the eye. She handed the brewed tea to the man, her voice naturally captivating.
"Lord Jiang, please try my cooking!"
Jiang Fan took it, took a small sip, and sighed.
"The color of rouge, slowly brewed with pine soot, is not as beautiful as the fair face of Xiling in spring."
Xiling was a guy with no literary knowledge; unable to find the source of the poem, he could only ask for directions.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Fan smiled and shook his head without offering an explanation; he was afraid the girl would get too cocky.
Just as Xiling was about to use her charm, there was a knock on the door. It was Chen Zhou who came in.
Is Mr. Jiang Fan here?
Xiling rolled her eyes at the man, got up and went to open the door.
Shen Zhou led Zhi Zi to Jiang Fan and said...
"Mr. Jiang Fan, His Majesty the President wishes to have a discussion with you."
The man seemed to have expected this and was not surprised at all.
"Okay, please take a seat."
three-body galaxy,
The head of state saw the layout of Jiang Fan's office.
Steam rises from the coffee table, orchids in the corner exude their own fragrance, books are arranged in the mahogany cabinet, and a beautiful woman surrounds the room.
I've seen all sorts of scenery before, but my state of mind at this moment is particularly different.
The leader is so sour!
Why is it that, despite both being leaders of civilizations, Jiang Fan lives like a god, even residing in a place of breathtaking beauty?
And what about yourself?
Not only do they have to deal with the clamor of ordinary people, but they also have to constantly worry about stellar activity, surrounded by either cold steel or desolate emptiness.
Therefore, when Tomoko spoke, there was a strange, sarcastic tone in her voice.
"Mr. Jiang Fan's life is truly enviable."
Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Mr. Yuan, you flatter me. Everyone living on Earth enjoys the same treatment as me, including the Trisolaran guests who have come from afar. You can ask Ms. Chen Zhou about this."
The leader felt even more displeased, and his expression towards the human research officer held an indescribable jealousy!
You're enjoying yourself, kid. Do you even know that your Trisolaran brethren are struggling to survive in the activity of a star?
"No need to ask, I already know through Zhizi."
Chen Zhou felt a chill run down his spine, his eyes darting back and forth between Jiang Fan and Zhi Zi, and decided to say a few words.
"Your Majesty, as Mr. Jiang Fan said, the Blue Star civilization is very hospitable."
The leader replied in a cold voice.
Do I need you to remind me?
Chen Zhou remained silent, his heart filled with utter disdain, as if no one cared to remind him.
The Trisolarans, with their independent thinking, also have many ideas. If anyone dares to suggest that Chen Zhou return to the era of transparent thinking, she would fight that person to the death.
I am now a true resident of Earth, and even hold the titles of researcher in both the Biotechnology Department and the Star Spectrum Department, making outstanding contributions to the development of human civilization!
See my contribution points? They're a whole level above average!
That year, due to Chen Zhou's joining, many social models of the Star Observation Department underwent reconstruction and renovation, including the inference that the K2-18 star system was destroyed, which was also proposed by her.
Other Trisolarans were equally accomplished. For example, one Trisolaran, who had vowed to follow his star, constantly accompanied Lin Xi and Ding Mian, describing to them the grand scenes of stellar activity. Jiang Fan, seeing Chen Zhou being stopped, visibly frowned and said...
"Does Mr. Yuan know that there is an ancient saying in human civilization: 'Those who respect others will always be respected; those who love others will always be loved?'"
Shen Zhou suddenly looked up at the man, and she felt her heart race.
The leader also felt his anger level escalating even faster.
"What does Mr. Jiang Fan mean? Does he intend to interfere in the internal affairs of our Trisolaran civilization? Has he forgotten the basic principle of peaceful coexistence among civilizations?"
The other officials standing below the head of state stared at the ground, their minds completely blank; they could not afford to think at this moment.
Jiang Fan never imagined that one day the Trisolarans would use the basic principles of peaceful coexistence between civilizations to challenge him. He laughed in anger.
"Hehe, of course I haven't forgotten, but Mr. Yuan also needs to remember one thing: our human civilization not only respects the right to life, but also has compassion. So, if you have internal matters to resolve, please do so in front of me."
That's a solid answer!
Chen Zhou lowered her head and rubbed her legs slightly. What was she thinking?
If we were to add a numerical table to the leader's rage level, it would definitely be full by now!
But the head of state, as expected, was still able to engage in rational dialogue under these circumstances, and he stated the purpose of this exchange.
"Mr. Jiang Fan, I'd like to know what your human civilization's roaming mission means? Are you going to break the agreement between us?"
Jiang Fan knew the Trisolarans would definitely ask about this, so he calmly countered with his own question.
"Please tell me in detail, Mr. Yuan, which agreement did I violate?"
The head of state immediately said,
"You said you wouldn't tell anyone about the laws of the universe!"
Jiang Fan nodded.
"Yes."
"Then why are you launching so many long-range ships into space?"
"What does this have to do with our agreement?"
The head of state was speechless for a moment, and then said...
"This will increase our risk of exposure!"
Jiang Fan waved his hand nonchalantly.
"What kind of talk is this, Mr. President? A few long-range ships are at risk of being exposed? Then we might as well not develop at all. We've already sent billions of electromagnetic waves into the universe."
The limitations of the Trisolaran civilization meant that, apart from their technological advantage, they were at a disadvantage against the Earthlings in every other aspect!
The head of state came to settle scores with Jiang Fan in a menacing manner, but was rendered speechless after a few words and could only threaten him.
"If you continue like this, then we will also launch long-range ships into space!"
"Pfft!" Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh.
"Prime Minister, no one is forbidding you from doing this. Our agreement is simply that our civilizations will not interfere with each other. You can launch your long-range ships however you wish!"
This threat theory is like a child saying, "I never want to play with you again." Not to mention, the Trisolaran system doesn't have the same abundant resources as our solar system.
To put it simply, the Trisolaran fleet that sailed to the solar system in the last century had already drained the Trisolarans of their accumulated wealth over hundreds of years; otherwise, there wouldn't be a second fleet that hasn't set off yet.
The Führer was furious!
This further diminished the presence of other officials.
"Damn Earthlings! Damn Jiang Fan! I should never have agreed to his conditions in the first place!"
The scientific governor glanced at the head of state furtively. He dared not think too much about it, but once he got out, he would have to complain. In the beginning, all he could do was agree and broadcast the interstellar coordinates. Did he have any other choice?
