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

Chapter 199 The Loneliness Effect of Ethnic Groups
In the 46th year of the Xinyuan era,
With no immediate worries or concerns, human civilization, along with its more than two million newly arrived Trisolarans, was having a blast.

Before the arrival of the nineteen Trisolaran guests, including Shen Zhou, the humans of Earth and the Trisolarans coexisted harmoniously but kept their distance, and no couples from different civilizations appeared.

This phenomenon has been termed the "ethnic loneliness effect" by researchers who specialize in studying the development of two civilizations.

In short, when an individual clearly understands that they are in a foreign land and there is no large group of people of the same origin around them, a natural sense of alienation will arise.
This manifests as a weak sense of emotional awareness. For example, the Trisolarans, who have always followed Lin Xi and Ding Mian, have no desire to get entangled with other humans, except for following the goddess.
The other fifteen Trisolarans, including Shen Zhou, were in the same boat. They seemed to have integrated into human society and were enjoying life on Earth—a view they themselves shared.
In reality, they have always kept themselves very distinct from humans on Earth. It is worth noting that this is not something they actively sought out, but rather something that arose naturally!
In other words, no matter how much Chen Zhou and her friends genuinely believe that Blue Star is wonderful, they will experience a sense of isolation within their own group, and this effect will be more pronounced when there are fewer people.

This is completely contrary to normal logic.

Generally speaking, taking different colored inks as an example, one drop of black ink in a bowl of clear water will appear as clear water, but ten drops of black ink will cause a significant change.

This indicates that fewer foreign substances are more easily assimilated, while more foreign substances are more likely to exhibit the properties of that substance.
However, when this theory is applied to individual life and civilized society, the opposite is true!

The most typical example is Su Wu herding sheep. He spent twenty years alone in the borderlands, and in theory, he should have been easily assimilated by the Xiongnu civilization. However, he never forgot the Han Empire.
There are also modern examples. Most of the students from the University of Tokyo who went abroad to study starting in the late Qing Dynasty eventually chose to return to the University of Tokyo, showing no tendency to be assimilated by Western civilization.

Those who migrated as a whole clan were able to establish themselves and thrive in the Western world. This situation is not limited to the West; it is also common in Southeast Asia.
This leads to a very counterintuitive phenomenon: the more people of the same race there are, the easier it is for them to take root and develop in a different civilization; the fewer people there are, the more alienated they feel from that civilization.
This is the problem explained by the phenomenon of group loneliness.

Since the arrival of large numbers of Trisolarans on Earth, the problems that people feared, such as rebellion, forming cliques, and seizing power, have not occurred.
Moreover, according to Xiling's statistics, since the first case of Trisolarans settling down on Earth appeared two years ago, more than 80% of the Trisolarans have found partners today!
Even the sinking of the ship gradually made Xiling wary!

This woman seems to have developed some kind of unusual fetish over the past two years.

According to the browsing history that Xiling spied on, she discovered that Chen Zhou's search frequency for female-oriented palace intrigue novels had increased dramatically, and he would also frequently ask questions in the comments with an extremely serious attitude.

For example, what methods can be used to win a man's heart? How can you attract a man who is already married? And so on!

Later, this woman started searching for information about the daily interactions between wives and concubines in ancient times, and what kind of man could handle the relationship between his mistress and his wife, etc.!
It's as clear as day that they're plotting something!
Furthermore, since the Trisolaran guests' activity space is located in the central building,
Shen Zhou would occasionally knock on the door of the top office with homemade delicacies, always giving a perfectly legitimate reason.
She said that the Trisolarans are all learning about Earth's culture, with food being the most popular. Therefore, she hopes that President Jiang will appreciate her cooking skills and point out areas for improvement so that she can teach other Trisolarans.

This...this...
Isn't this just a wolf in sheep's clothing?
However, Shen Zhou was always very measured in her actions, never overstepping boundaries, and never showing any signs of infatuation towards Jiang Fan.
It was just normal social interaction.

But it was precisely this that made Xiling feel a sense of crisis!

Throughout history, the beauty trap has never been about the beauty herself; the key lies in the feeling, the novelty and curiosity!
Meanwhile, Chen Zhou is using his Trisolaran temperament combined with the Blue Star civilization to create a brand new genre, commonly known as the "high-IQ, low-EQ, simple yet clever dummy beauty".

In couples between Trisolaran women and human men, almost all human men show extreme affection for the Trisolaran women!

In their words,
Marrying a woman from the Three-Body Problem is incredibly lucky! Their views on love are untainted; they yearn for the most beautiful and sincere love, making them exceptionally devoted!

And because of its high IQ and low EQ, it is incredibly cute in many ways!

The most interesting thing is that when they face traditional in-laws, their cunning, clever, gentle and humble behavior not only wins the hearts of men, but also the hearts of the elderly!

Many people share their daily interactions with their "Three-Body Problem wife," and the pride they express is genuine.

The inclusion of the Trisolaran civilization refined certain concepts of human civilization, such as values ​​regarding love and ideals for the future.

Whether female or male, both in the Trisolaran world value loyalty; this is the root of the sovereign system in their hearts.
After mating with humans, due to various portrayals of marital relationships, such as the husband being the head of the household, harmonious marriage, and mutual tolerance,

Combined with the instinctive concept of loyalty, this led to the unusual shift in their loyalty from the head of state to their wife or husband.

After Jiang Fan learned of this situation,
The expression that appeared in front of Xiling was hard to describe—a mixture of pity and reluctance, joy and shame.

The merging of human civilization and the Trisolaran civilization is truly unfair to the Trisolaran civilization!

What the Trisolaran civilization learned from humanity was deception, concealment, and conspiracy.

And what about humans?

What I learned was loyalty, perseverance, and consistency.

It could be said that the Trisolaran civilization elevated human civilization, bringing a clear source of water to many sordid ideas, while human civilization, in turn, made the Trisolaran civilization go from pure to impure.

While being pure may not guarantee survival, shamelessness certainly does.
But how to say it?

Humanity has reached an extreme level of shamelessness; it doesn't need to get any stronger.

From a certain Sun Tzu who proposed "warfare is based on deception," to a certain scoundrel who "disguised himself as a commoner to cross the river," and then to some Sima Yi who pointed at the Luo River and "farted," it all came down to this.
Humanity's bottom line is getting worse every day!
This situation was taken to an extreme during the United Nations era, with the UN taking the moral high ground to exploit the resources of smaller countries, causing humanity's moral bottom line to sink once again.
