Chapter 182 A Shocking Idea

Jiang Fan gave Chen Zhou an approving look.

“That’s right. If Mr. Joseph and his Trisolaran friends on the fleet want to live the same life as Sunken Ship, they must make the same choice as Sunken Ship: give up their Trisolaran bodies and choose to live as humans.”

These words instantly ignited a firestorm in the Second World.

"Is President Jiang really going to accept the Trisolarans?!"

"Don't take things out of context. Listen to President Jiang's conditions before you speak!"

"That's right. If the Trisolarans choose to live in human bodies, then what's the difference between them and us?"

Looking at Chen Zhou sitting across from me, I feel like she's practically a human from Earth now.

Let's start a poll: Do you accept President Jiang's approach? Yes or no.

'I feel alright. We're all human, so there's not much difference.'

'No! This is betraying the interests of humanity!'

'Huh? There's another sound like that? Please describe it in detail.'

"Accepting the Trisolarans means we have to share some of their resources. Isn't that betraying humanity's interests?"

"Huh? Has the person upstairs not been connected to the internet for decades? Please take a good look at the current system."

'Indeed, such remarks sound like something out of a bygone era.'

'It's been 42 years since the New Era began, how can such voices still exist? I've lost even the concept of material resources.'

"Agreed. We humans have reached unprecedented heights. How backward would it be if our focus remained solely on basic necessities?"

"You guys actually have to admit, what if Earth joined a Trisolaran race? Wouldn't that be interesting?"

'666, great idea! Let's bump this up and let President Jiang see our thoughts!'

"Awesome! Having another Trisolaran is fantastic!"

"Great! If you said you were a Trisolaran, I might scoff, but if you said you belonged to the Trisolaran race, then I must demonstrate the spirit of national unity!"

'Thumbs up a million times! Humanity hasn't seen a new race emerge in a long time; we need fresh blood.'

'Top +1!'

'Top +2!'

'Top 10086!'

Joseph froze, unsure how to respond. He felt a mixture of joy and uncertainty. He was happy that the First Fleet seemed to have a promising future, but uncertain about whether to abandon the spaceship.

Shen Zhou's eyes widened, his face showing an expression of "I knew it!" President Jiang's trip was not to expel the Trisolaran fleet, but to accept it!

Realizing this, she was overjoyed; this was absolutely fantastic news!
Turning around, he saw Joseph lost in thought and nudged him with his elbow.
What are you thinking? You're not going to agree?

Joseph looked at the sunken ship.

Should I say yes?

The two of them actually started talking like that, oblivious to everyone else.

"Of course I'll say yes! Isn't this the life you've always wanted?"

"But giving up the spaceship, giving up the identity of a Trisolaran, this..."

"You're so stubborn! There's no such thing as a perfect life. Either maintain the status quo and live with an uncertain future, or make a change and follow Mr. Jiang Fan's will!"

"I find it hard to decide."

Shen Zhou was so angry that her breasts seemed to swell a bit, a fact noticed by some sharp-eyed individuals in the Second World, who then remarked with genuine emotion,

"I think Ms. Shen Zhou is quite beautiful and has a lot of substance."

"Holy crap, that's incredible! To actually be interested in the Trisolarans!"

"Hey, that's not quite right. What Trisolarans? Didn't Shen Zhou use a human body?" "Ahem, I'd also like to offer my opinion: Shen Zhou is indeed beautiful."

"Actually, I am willing to dedicate myself to the peaceful coexistence of humans and Trisolarans. Please allow me to represent Blue Star in a marriage alliance with Sunken Ship."

Who has yellow urine?

"I...I...I'll wake him up!"

"Although this guy is like a toad trying to eat swan meat, I have to say that if President Jiang reaches an agreement with the Trisolaran First Fleet, it seems that negotiating with a Trisolaran woman is indeed easier than negotiating with a Blue Star woman!"

"I agree. It's so hard to find a wife these days. Women are truly becoming independent."

"Hmph, of course! Women hold up half the sky!"

On the visitor ship, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent. After Jiang Fan revealed his intentions, both humans and Trisolarans felt they had to make a difficult decision.

Seeing this, he spoke up, breaking the silence.
"How about we find a compromise?"

Joseph immediately looked up and asked,

"any solution?"

Jiang Fan spoke eloquently,
"The fleet continues its voyage, but all our Trisolaran friends will come with us. Decades from now, if you're still thinking about the fleet, then we can discuss that again."

One outlandish idea after another, Luo Ji, Zhang Beihai, and Yun Tianming couldn't help but look at the man in the middle, their faces showing a hesitant expression.

The Second World was much more unrestrained.
"Holy crap, I can only describe President Jiang's thinking with one word: cunning!"

"You call that a single word? Then I'll also use a single word to describe it: cunning!"

"What the heck? Can someone explain this to me? I think this suggestion is pretty good!"

"Are you sure the person upstairs isn't a Trisolaran? Let's put it this way: if you don't want a son, but someone tells you to have one first, and claims that you can have another one decades later if you're not satisfied, would you be the one who gains or loses?"

"Hmm! That's a bit convoluted, let me sort it out."

"Stop arguing. You didn't want to have children in the first place, but you ended up having one. If the quality isn't good, you'll have to have another. You're just acting according to someone else's will."

"Similarly, this is President Jiang's suggestion: if people are already lured away, wouldn't discussing the fleet issue decades later be tantamount to giving birth to another one?"

"Hilarious, the Trisolarans wouldn't agree, would they?"

"Not necessarily. Look at his eyes; there seems to be a light in them."

On the visitor ship, Joseph thought the idea was brilliant. It avoided abandoning the spaceship and allowed him to work alongside human research officers. As for what would happen decades from now, he could worry about that then.

He looked up at Jiang Fan, opening his mouth to agree, but suddenly remembered something and changed his mind.

"But there are Zhizi on the fleet. If we all move to Earth, the leader will know immediately."

Chen Zhou patted him on the shoulder.
"Didn't you ask me before how to get rid of the Sophon's surveillance? Now I can tell you."

Joseph asked,

"what way?"

"Mind transplantation technology!"

"What do you mean?"

Chen Zhou shook his head, rubbing his forehead.

"How stupid! Right now, I also have a body on Earth. I can occasionally use mind transfer technology to return to Earth and instruct Sophon to do things. Wouldn't that create the illusion that I've always been here?"

Joseph opened his mouth wide.

"Oh! It can be used like that?!"

Chen Zhou nodded and said,
"So you don't need to worry about the sophons monitoring you. As long as you put your Trisolaran body and mind transplant pod on the fleet, it's the same as you being able to communicate with the sophons on the fleet at any time."

"As for the others, just take their thoughts with them, shrink their bodies for storage, and claim to be conserving resources."
