Chapter 150 The Eternal Returns
But even though the head of state can view minds by breaking through the wall, the science governor still finds it a good feeling.
Because he can know when the leader will check his thoughts, he can then suppress, empty, or delete certain thoughts, thus achieving a different kind of concealment.
For example, right now,
The head of state was using his authority to jump over the wall and communicate directly with the science governor.
"how are you feeling?"
The Science Archon replied,
“Your Majesty, I feel protected and at ease.”
The head of state acted swiftly and decisively.
"Okay, start modifying me immediately, and announce this news at the same time!"
The science-minded official nodded.
"Okay, Mr. Führer."
When he realized that the leader's authority had been relinquished, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he quickly calculated whether he should complete the transformation of the leader.
The final conclusion was that modifications were necessary for the technology to be smoothly rolled out across the entire Trisolaran planet.
In the 24th year of the Xinyuan era,
After spending 16 years in four-dimensional space, the Eternal has finally emerged!
When Chu Tianshu and Noah saw Xiling's holographic image, they were so moved that they burst into tears and shouted in unison,
"Sister Xiling!"
Xiling gave them a gentle smile.
"You've had a tough journey. Now it's time to head home. We're all waiting for you to return."
The latest star map marks the approximate extent of four-dimensional space, and the Eternity will need to make a detour on its return journey.
But as long as they can access the Second World, it's like they've come home for the people on the Eternal!
The tomb keeper of the monument civilization was called Bubble by Chu Tianshu and his group.
After Xiling came out, it followed and asked,
"You're a data life form?!"
Although it was a question, the tone was extremely certain.
Xiling nodded.
"who are you?"
The bubble suddenly began to alternate between expanding and shrinking; the crew members who had known it for over a decade knew this was a sign of its excitement.
"You're a data life form! How could such a weak civilization give birth to data life forms! I actually saw a data life form!"
The three "surprisingly" statements puzzled not only Xiling but also Jiang Fan.
Xiling asked,
"What's wrong? Is my existence strange?"
Bubble didn't answer, but pressed on with another question.
How were you born?
Xiling's expression darkened slightly, a look Chu Tianshu and the others had never seen before. In their eyes, Xiling was always gentle.
"Answer my question first!"
Bubble circled around Xiling's virtual avatar and said something that left everyone speechless.
"You smell so good!"
Jiang Fan burst into laughter in the office, prompting Xi Ling to lightly stomp her feet, leap onto him, and cover his mouth with her hand.
"You're still laughing? It's teasing me!"
On the Eternal, Xiling's expression turned completely gloomy, and she said coldly,
"Ignorant person!"
Then disappear.
Jiang Fan gently held her waist to prevent her from falling, then wiped his smile from her face and said...
"It seems we are one of your kind."
Xiling lay on top of the man, her lips curled into a wide pout.
"Hmph! I don't have such a frivolous kind!" The humans on the Eternal took a moment to recover, then simultaneously glared angrily at Bubble.
To them, Xiling was like a mother figure; how could she tolerate anyone uttering such foul language?
But the bubble seemed oblivious, hovering in mid-air, constantly expanding and contracting, its colorful light shining brightly, and it was very excited.
Noah, that clever little devil, rolled his eyes and asked slyly,
"Bubble, do you want to know more about Sister Xiling?"
The tomb guardians of the monument, who usually wouldn't respond no matter how much they were called, were now completely devoid of their previous aloofness.
"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."
Noah's smile was very similar to Jiang Fan's calculating smile, and he spoke in an ambiguous tone,
"I know everything about Sister Xiling. What do you want to ask?"
The bubbles were applied directly to his face.
"I want to know when she was born? How was she born? What is the underlying logic?"
Noah just blurted it out.
"Going back about 40 years from now, as for how she was born? I've already answered one of your questions, now it's your turn to answer me: why are you so excited about Sister Xiling's appearance?"
Bubble said incoherently,
“She is a data life form, and also a companion life form! Moreover, your civilization has not been destroyed yet, and she has the potential for infinite evolution. But this is very abnormal. According to the law of conservation of spirit, data life forms require a lot of wisdom to spontaneously sacrifice themselves.”
When the concept of conservation of spirit first appeared before humanity, Noah pursed his lips in deep thought, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The Eternal slowly headed towards Blue Star.
same year,
The independent transformation of thought in the Trisolaran system has become widespread, but the leader has not received the expected adoration. On the contrary, strikes by Trisolaran civilians have broken out in more regions!
Furthermore, due to the existence of the 'mind wall,' the leader cannot immediately know who organized the rebellion!
Whenever he arrived at the scene, he would use his highest authority to forcibly examine the thoughts of the other Trisolarans, and the result was always the same: empty!
This made the leader realize that the independent thinking technology had slipped out of his control, so he immediately called a halt and returned to the core base to question the science governor.
Is there any way to bypass the 'wall' and connect to the brainwaves of all other people?
The scientific administrator, realizing that his thoughts were being observed by the head of state, replied sincerely.
“Your Majesty, unless the ‘mind wall’ is removed, there is no way to maintain the connection. The authority grants you the highest power, and also the power to prevent others from spying on each other.”
The leader is now very panicked, and said decisively,
"Tear it down! Except for a few people, tear down all the other 'walls'!"
The scientific administrator said respectfully.
"Following your wishes, please give me a list, and I will demolish and renovate them according to the list."
The head of state quickly provided the list, and apart from the scientific governor, the military governor, and the regional transport officials, all the mental barriers of the other officials were dismantled.
However, the Führer forgot one thing.
If the 'mind wall' is dismantled, then the Trisolaran's thoughts will be continuously broadcast outwards like a radio broadcast.
Therefore, after the Science Administrator carried out the first demolition and modification, the other Trisolarans also learned of the Leader's decision.
The Great Rebellion has begun!
Central Building,
Chen Zhou directly confronted Jiang Fan.
"Mr. Jiang Fan, we have decided to overthrow the Führer's dictatorial rule, and we hope that human civilization can help us."
Jiang Fan replied,
"This is an internal matter of your Trisolaran civilization. According to the basic principle of peaceful coexistence, humanity will not interfere."
Shen Zhou was in a panic. Without human help, she had no way to return to Trisolaris.
“Mr. Jiang Fan, I remember you said that civilization knows no boundaries and every life deserves respect.”
"My compatriots are suffering now, and I cannot stand idly by!"
"I dare not ask you for anything else, but I implore human civilization to help us return to Trisolaris!"
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Fan sighed, shook his head, and said...
"Even if I wanted to help you, it would take at least 150 years to reach the Trisolaran system at the current speed of space travel."
