Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 180 The Six

The captain replied...
"No, if the fleet slows down, Somo will immediately notice. That's not the result you want, is it?"

On the second voyage, Chen Zhou wrote the message on the holographic screen, causing everyone to fall silent.

Up until now, most of the people present believed that Jiang Fan's purpose in coming here was to deal with the Trisolaran fleet.

It's not wrong to say it's a solution, but it's not the kind of solution they're thinking of; it's a different kind of solution.

The captain's response indicated that Jiang Fan's idea was highly feasible, so a smile appeared on his face that differed from the others.

"Then let's ask the captain if he can come to the Far Traveler II in a small vessel. Human civilization has prepared a gift for him."

After reading it, Chen Zhou nodded, and then communicated with the first captain.
"Mr. Jiang Fan said that there's no need to slow down. Could you come here alone in a small boat? Mr. Jiang Fan has prepared a gift for you."

The captain asked in confusion.
"A gift? What gift?"

The sunken boat replied instantly.

"I don't know. Mr. Jiang Fan didn't tell me. You might only find out when you arrive."

The captain pondered for a moment, then asked uncertainly,
"Are you really less than 100 million kilometers away from us?"

Chen Zhou sent a rolling-eyes emoji.
"Nonsense, if I were on Earth, how could I possibly contact you?"

"Then how did you escape Zhizi's surveillance?"

"You wouldn't understand, but I won't tell you. When you come to Yuanyou No. 2, ask Mr. Jiang Fan yourself. I guarantee you'll be very surprised."

The captain then asked...
"Human Research Officer, is there any danger?"

Chen Zhou said somewhat angrily,

"What's so dangerous about it? You don't think that Mr. Jiang Fan can make the First Fleet sail into the solar system as planned if you don't come, do you?"

"What kind of pipe dream are you having? I've already said that human civilization has mastered antimatter engines, and it's bound to master antimatter bombs as well. Do you want to get hit by one?"

"Listen to me, just come. If Mr. Jiang Fan had any feelings for you, he wouldn't have asked me to contact you first."

That made a lot of sense. The captain's resolve was wavering, but he still couldn't make up his mind, so he asked again.
"Human Research Officer, could you describe your life on Earth to me?"

Chen Zhou synchronized some of her memories to the past.
"See for yourself. All I can say is that life in the Trisolaran system is worse than that of a dog on Earth."

"Sometimes I wonder, what is the meaning of our Trisolaran civilization's rebirth from destruction each time? Is it just about surviving generation after generation in the cycle of the three stars?"

"Until I met Mr. Jiang Fan, I heard him say that life is not just about survival, but about living better in order to pursue higher wisdom."

"It suddenly dawned on me that the future of the Trisolaran civilization definitely doesn't lie in the Trisolaran system!"

After watching the memories of the sunken ship, the first captain was completely stunned.

Although he learned some information about the human research officers from Trisolaris through Sophon, it was nothing compared to the shock of sharing memories.

The azure sky, the refreshing breeze, the lush green forests, the boundless grasslands, the towering snow-capped mountains, and the endless ocean!
Every single one of them is a breathtaking landscape where the Trisolaran system does not exist!

In terms of humanities and history, Dongda University boasts countless delicacies, ethnic costumes, traditional activities, and rare treasures. The enthusiasm, unrestrained spirit, freedom, and enjoyment of life of its people have transformed Earth into a paradise on earth!
The captain was deeply moved!

Seeing humanity go from resisting the Trisolarans to completely ignoring them as an alien civilization is a feeling that is truly indescribable.

Anyone in this kind of atmosphere would forget their previous suffering, right? No wonder the human researchers did these things.

There was a long silence between the two.

Da Shi couldn't help but whisper in Jiang Fan's ear,

"What's going on? Why is there no movement?"

Jiang Fan turned and glanced at him, then at the crowd, and said,

"Don't be impatient, haste makes waste." The crowd nodded, but their expressions remained unchanged. How could they not be anxious in this situation?
Finally, Chen Zhou raised his hand again and wrote.

"He agreed; he needs our star map locations."

Jiang Fan's face lit up with joy, but just to be on the safe side, he first said to Xiling,
"Xiling, calculate a suitable location where we will meet the captain of the Trisolaran First Fleet."

Xiling nodded, and in the blink of an eye, she marked a point on the star map.

"This place is eight million kilometers away from us when we are at rest, and there are no meteorites passing by nearby, so it is very safe."

Jiang Fan raised his hand and wrote the interstellar coordinates for Chen Zhou, while simultaneously writing beside them,

"Let's meet here!"

Chen Zhou relayed the message to the first captain, and after receiving a response, wrote to everyone.
"It will take him five Blue Star days to reach the target location from the fleet."

This time, Jiang Fan didn't need to lift a finger; Xi Ling wrote it directly.
"Our smaller ships also take about the same amount of time to glide using inertia."

Shen Zhou nodded, concluding the pre-conference exchange before the formal meeting.

Jiang Fan and the others began their discussion on the spot, and Luo Ji was the first to speak up, unable to wait any longer.
"Old Jiang, you have to take me with you!"

Da Shi, Lin Bailan, Ding Yi, and Yun Tianming silently raised their hands, while the others on the periphery also looked on with anticipation. Even Zhang Beihai couldn't help but cough.

"As the chief of the Star Wars Department, I have a reason to go and make contact with the Trisolaran captain."

Jiang Fan looked at Xiling.

"Hiling, now that the cruiser is being modified, what's the maximum number of people it can accommodate?"

Xiling pulled up a hologram of the cruiser and began a simulated modification in front of everyone, finally replying,
"Due to time constraints, only partial modifications can be made, and it can carry a maximum of six people to the designated location."

Jiang Fan shrugged at everyone.
"Did you all hear that? Me, Xiling, and Chenzhou have taken up three spots, so there are three spots left."

Luo Ji, Yun Tianming, and Zhang Beihai spoke up almost simultaneously.
"I'm number one."

"I'm second."

"I'm third."

Holy crap! This perfectly coordinated quick response left the other people who were preparing to sign up speechless.

Jiang Fan wore a wry smile.

“They’ve even arranged the order, and they won’t go even if I don’t agree. So the three of you can come with me.”

Da Shi slammed his hand down hard.

"You were too slow! You guys are too cunning."

The group exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

In fact, the people Jiang Fan had decided on were Luo Ji, Zhang Beihai, and Yun Tianming. The reason was simple: all three of them had intricate connections with the Trisolaran ship in the original work.

And there's a chief of staff, a chief legion commander, and a chief bodyguard—that's all there.

After confirming the candidate, Jiang Fan spoke to Xiling again.

"Xiling, prepare a gift for the First Captain. I believe he will like it."

Xiling nodded.

"Okay, the gift has been prepared."
