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

Chapter 210 Qu Yuan and Heavenly Questions

Resource Zone 97 of the Trisolaran System

This is one of the areas where resources are hardest to obtain, and also one of the most dangerous!

Unlike typical meteorite rings, this region is where stellar ejecta may pass through, making it full of uncertainty.

The outgoing science governor is piloting a resource-gathering spaceship, waiting alone in the vast darkness for possible stellar material.

The Trisolaran civilization's thirst for resources had reached a point where, like a locust swarm, nothing could grow.

Wherever resources might be found, there are collectors on guard. The more remote the area, the lower the social class of the collectors.

When the former Science Administrator left Trisolaris, he took only a common stone with him. He wrote his own name on it—Qu Yuan—and placed it in the most conspicuous place on the spaceship.

Qu Yuan, a human from Earth, was greatly admired by the former Chief Scientific Officer, who wrote "Heavenly Questions." One of the questions in the poem asks, "In the beginning of time, who passed on the Way? Before heaven and earth took shape, how could we know?"

He demonstrated the spirit of intelligent life in exploring the world's greatest mystery, which was also the mystery that the former scientific governor wanted to solve. Therefore, he named himself Qu Yuan.

The leader can strip the Trisolarans of their identity and privileges, but cannot strip them of their accumulated wisdom.

Qu Yuan gazed at the distant star, which was so enormous that it blocked the light from other stars, leaving only the sun visible. Countless thoughts raced through his mind.

The most significant focus was on contemplating the universe and the future of life, followed by the development of the Trisolaran civilization.

Because of the great distance, as long as the mind signal amplifier on the spaceship is blocked, it can temporarily break away from the Trisolaran mind-sharing network until someone discovers it and sends an inquiry.

Qu Yuan had already mastered ways to avoid the leader's spying on his thoughts long before the existence of mental barriers. Now, what appears to be exile actually gives him more personal space.

Unfortunately, there was no one here who could communicate with him. All the results of his thoughts could only be recorded, not stored in his brain, because that would be tantamount to conveying his rebellious ideas to all the Trisolarans.

They would be burned alive in the capital square immediately.

He doesn't want to die.

Solitude is the best environment for growth. Jiang Fan once said that only by experiencing seven levels of solitude can one become a strong person.

Qu Yuan spent nearly a year in the spaceship, completely isolated from the outside world, only able to see stars and deep space every day!

The writing he used to record his thoughts was none other than the script of Earth, filling more than a dozen thick notebooks!

This includes the scientific experiments, technological principles, and various conjectures he has experienced since taking office as the Science Governor, and even some of them are about the conception of sophon manufacturing technology and the bottleneck of the warp drive!
It is no exaggeration to say that if these dozen or so books fell into the hands of the Earthlings, they would immediately advance Earth's technological level to a point that is infinitely close to that of the Trisolaran civilization!

The leader thought Qu Yuan had no thoughts, but little did he know that he had simply emptied his mind and only began to think after disconnecting from the shared network.

As the last word fell, Qu Yuan seemed to have transcended. If one could see the state of each person's 'spiritual matter,' then one could see that his wisdom had reached the highest individual peak in the history of the Trisolaran civilization!

Many ideas that didn't exist before are now springing up like mushrooms after rain. The theoretical problems of the warp drive are being solved one by one in his hands, and then recorded on paper.

Sophon technology is also broken down into dimensional technology, artificial intelligence technology, and etching circuit technology, and even the idea of ​​upgrading Sophon is mentioned.

It can only be said that every civilization has geniuses. These individuals embody the essence of their civilization, possess ideas that transcend their own, and are the absolute core leading the development of their civilization!
When Qu Yuan wrote the name of the Blue Star 120 times in a row, humanity, after five days and five nights of intense contemplation, finally emerged from its state of deep thought.
He stopped writing, then tossed the pen aside, his eyes filled with confusion, as if he had stumbled upon an incomprehensible realm. A short while later, he picked up the pen again, opened a brand new notebook, and calmly wrote down the following passage:

Why do highly intelligent individuals emerge from intelligent species? The difference between them and their peers is even greater than the difference between intelligent and non-intelligent species.

"While both are life forms, non-intelligent life can never give rise to intelligence, but intelligent life can give rise to individuals with even higher intelligence, thus opening the prelude to the advancement of civilization."

"This is exactly like the concept of raising Gu poison in the minds of Earth's civilization!"

"The emergence of intelligence is the first step in selecting Gu worms, and the emergence of individuals with higher intelligence is the second step in the growth of Gu worms, making civilization more and more prosperous."

"So, what is the significance of this power? Is it a fundamental law of the universe? Or the will of an advanced civilization?"

"Does the universe itself have the purpose of nurturing and developing civilizations, or is the birth and development of civilization a preordained path?"

"I seem to hear Qu Yuan asking the heavens to the boundless starry sea, and I am immersed in it, shouting along with him. If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

These questions are the fundamental questions of the Trisolaran civilization; the former scientific governor was Qu Yuan of the Trisolarans.
The wheels of civilization turn silently, and unknown changes occur in corners where no one pays attention.

Several Blue Star Months later,

A uniquely shaped spaceship is heading towards this dangerous area, following the path taken by Qu Yuan.

soon,

The Führer received a message,
"The former science officer encountered a sudden stellar storm while on patrol in resource zone 97. His spaceship was destroyed by ejected material and turned into cosmic dust."

The leader's emotions were very subtle at this moment. Although the Trisolarans' emotions and thoughts were suppressed, they were not absent. He remained silent for a few minutes before replying,
"The former Science Administrator made amends for his mistakes with his life. He dedicated his entire life to the great Trisolaran civilization. He is our hero!"

With the Führer's authorization, this message spread throughout the entire Three-Body thought network.
After reading this message, a Trisolaran in some unknown location shook his head slightly and relayed it to his companion.

"The scientific ruler is dead; now only Qu Yuan, the rebel, remains!"

The rebel leader responded,
"Lord Qu Yuan, welcome to the Three-Body Revolutionary Army! We desperately need your wisdom!"

Qu Yuan, his mind now hardened, stood atop a barren mountain peak, a giant, still pendulum-like structure rising from the earth in the distance.

Behind him followed a group of fully armed Trisolarans, their eyes filled with fanatical faith, their thoughts conveying...

"Lord Qu Yuan, please lead us to final victory!"

Qu Yuan looked up at the sky. Unlike the pure and transparent sky of Blue Star, the sky of Trisolaris was shrouded in rolling red clouds, and even the surrounding world was reflected as if it were cinnabar blood.

He calmly conveyed his thoughts.

"Civilization must advance to become more civilized; otherwise, we will sacrifice ourselves for it."

This unwavering determination gave everyone hope and a glimmer of hope!
