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

Chapter 230 Resuming Discussions
The greatest asymmetry is information asymmetry; neither the military governor nor the scientific governor could answer this question, so the head of state offered his own conjecture.
"Our enemies are either rebels or humans. From this perspective, those who come are either rebels or humans!"

The science official immediately denied it.

"It can't be humans. Even for us, a distance of four light-years would take over a hundred years to cross. And how long has human civilization been unified? Developing technology also takes time."

"The data predicted by the former science governor is very logical. It will take more than two hundred years for humanity to have the ability to traverse galaxies!"

The head of state continued,
"Are you aware of Jiang Fan's roaming plan?"

The military governor replied,
"I know you negotiated with Jiang Fan about this once, but ultimately there was no result."

The scientific governing official also said.
"According to information from human researchers, the interstellar warships participating in the roaming project are powered by nuclear fusion and are about the size of a small city, clearly indicating that they are well-prepared to overcome spatial distances using time,"

"This also indirectly confirms that humanity has not yet mastered the technology to traverse interstellar distances. As for Jiang Fan's purpose in carrying out the roaming mission, it seems to me more like a precautionary measure,"

"He fears we will invade the solar system again, so he puts the broadcasting system on these warships to create an unsolvable deterrent."

The leader remained silent, the deterrence system was unbreakable, Jiang Fan had no weaknesses, and despite their weakness, human civilization possessed the means to destroy the Trisolaran civilization. This feeling was truly unsettling.

A few minutes later, he said,
"So your assessment is that this incident was orchestrated by the rebels?"

The science-minded official nodded.
“Statistically speaking, this is the most likely possibility, unless a third alien civilization intervenes, but this does not match our monitoring results.”

The head of state raised another question,
"Do you think it's possible to allow the Sophons to monitor human civilization and gather information again?"

After thinking it over, the science official replied.

"In the past, humanity asked Sophon to enter a physical body in order to monitor Sophon's movements. If the Sophon monitoring program is restarted, this aspect must be kept secret from humanity."

After expressing this meaning, he paused, and then said,
"Your Majesty, the Sophon is located in the Central Building. Jiang Fan meets with the human governor and the Sophon almost every day. In addition, with the presence of the artificial intelligence Xiling, any abnormal situation will be detected immediately."

"There's a very high chance that the anomaly of the Sophon will be detected by humanity, thus triggering Jiang Fan to broadcast the coordinates of the Trisolaran system. Therefore, my opinion is,"

"We need to prepare for both possibilities. Before we are ready for everyone to leave the Trisolaran system, we should not use the sophon and maintain the status quo."

The leader shook his head slightly.

"Where can we go after leaving the Trisolaran system? We have no idea what the situation of external civilizations is like. Once we decide to abandon our home system, it's like handing our fate over to unrealistic luck."

"The worst thing for survival is to take shortcuts; a moment of carelessness can lead to utter destruction."

"Contact the human research officer. The First Fleet is about to enter the solar system. Jiang Fan couldn't possibly not know this, but he hasn't said anything, which means he's very confident that we wouldn't dare let the First Fleet enter the solar system without authorization."

"This human is too cunning. We cannot understand his world, nor can we imagine how he created such a shackle for the Trisolaran civilization! Only time will help us destroy him."

The military governor asked,
"Your Excellency, do you wish to negotiate with Jiang Fan once again?"

The leader nodded.

"That's right. We can't break free from the deterrence system, nor can we abandon the First Fleet. Whether we're returning from the solar system or heading to other star systems, we need to replenish our resources and energy."

The military governor replied,
"I understand, Your Majesty. I will contact the human research officer for you immediately."

Blue Star Central Building

After receiving the instruction, Zhizi replied,
“Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief is not with me. She said she was going to investigate a debate about human thought.”

The head of state said,
"Contact her and tell her to come back!"

At the same time that Zhizi nodded, Xiling also transmitted a message to the four people on the Faraway No. 2.

"Zhi Zi is looking for Chen Zhou!" Chen Zhou, Jiang Fan, Luo Ji, and Da Shi immediately lay back in the mind transplant pod, and the next moment they opened their eyes in the human bodies on Blue Star.

Chen Zhou received Zhi Zi's message and replied,

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

She emerged from the cabin, boarded the anti-gravity spacecraft, circled the sky, and headed straight for the Trisolaran guest area. She jumped through the window to Sophon's side, her expression respectful.
"Your Majesty, I'm back."

The head of state asked,

Where did you go? What did you find?

Shen Zhou blurted out all the words he had prepared.

"In the City of Freedom in the Americas, a movement of intellectual exchange is taking place, aiming to find an ideal social form for human civilization to enter the stars. Among the discussions are views on Jiang Fan's dictatorial rule."

"Those scholars believe that the current political system is entirely a one-man show by Jiang Fan and Xi Ling, with no democracy and only dictatorship, which does not meet the requirements of future development."

The Führer was greatly surprised by this discovery.
"Wouldn't artificial intelligence intervene in this kind of thinking?"

Chen Zhou shook his head and said,
"Humans have freedom of speech, but they are only talking and not doing anything, so Xiling will only monitor and will not intervene."

The leader's eyes lit up, and he pressed for an answer.
"If this idea becomes the majority's opinion, is there any way to force Jiang Fan to step down?"

The sunken ship returned.

"I can't judge because those scholars only discussed it and didn't draw any conclusions. In addition, all of humanity is under the control of Xiling, and Xiling's presence is in all daily activities. It can be said to be an alternative 'Three-Body System'."

"This system gives Jiang Fan the most powerful authority; he can eliminate those people silently whenever he wants."

The head of state is well aware of this, and it is also part of his authority.

"This kind of thinking among humans is very beneficial to us, and if possible, we should help those people promote their views."

Chen Zhou nodded.

“Your Excellency, that is exactly what I think.”

After saying that, he asked,

"Why did you contact me this time?"

The head of state said,
"Regarding the First Fleet, they still have 46 years before they enter the solar system, and Jiang Fan has not made any statement. I need to discuss this matter with him."

Chen Zhou frowned and asked,

"So what do you plan to do with the First Fleet? Return to port or continue forward?"

The leader said,

"This needs to be discussed before a decision can be made, but no matter what the decision is, it will be unavoidable to enter the solar system to obtain certain resources."

Chen Zhou nodded.

"Okay, I will convey your wishes to Mr. Jiang Fan. Please wait a moment."

In the central building office, Jiang Fan was complaining to Xiling.
"I can understand why the Trisolarans' thoughts are so simple. If they let their minds wander even slightly, countless distracting thoughts will flood their brains, which is too uncomfortable."
