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

Chapter 255 High Probability Events

Central Building,

After a busy day, Master Jiang lay on the bed. If you ignored the restless creature wriggling its body, this moment should have been a time to enjoy peace and quiet.

Xiling poked her head out from under the covers and rested it on Jiang Fan's chest. Her snow-white skin looked so soft it seemed like it could be pinched to release moisture. She said with a hint of dissatisfaction,
"Lord Jiang, you're not cooperating with me at all!"

The man reached out and put his arm around his wife's back, while smoothing her hair with his other hand, and sighed softly.
"Let's get a good night's sleep tonight, okay?"

Xiling shook her head from side to side.

"Of course not. Daily exercise is a must, otherwise you'll be fined fifty."

Isn't this making things difficult for people? What concept of money exists in the New Era?
When the system of exchange was abolished, all paper money was burned, and gold was readily available to be picked up in the square.

At first, some people did rush to buy them, thinking they would be very useful in the future. However, to this day, the only value of precious metals is as scientific research materials or raw materials for factories.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Fan had to accompany Xi Ling in her wild revelry for an hour or so. Afterwards, he was completely listless, like a high-ranking monk who had seen through the vanities of the world.

After taking a shower, Xiling curled up in the man's arms and said, radiant with spring,
"Would Lord Jiang like to know about the major events that happened today?"

Jiang Fan used his arm as a pillow, holding the woman close, and asked calmly,

"what's up?"

Hiling transmitted the discovery of the Barnard Galaxy into Jiang Fan's mind. This was a fast communication method used by human civilization, specifically for important and complex information exchange.
In contrast, there is the slow-paced communication style, such as aimless chatting, joking with each other, and using common sayings in daily interactions.

After Jiang Fan finished reading, he closed his eyes and entered the second world. Xi Ling did the same, and the two in reality fell asleep.

Browsing the live video footage sent back by Guo Zhe, he also began his online surfing journey, joining discussions about extraterrestrial life.

One of the posts was quite interesting; the topic was...
'If this is a high level of evolution in plants, could there be even higher levels of evolution?'

Someone below replied,

"It's not impossible; it's a completely new way of evolution, but it might not be uncommon in the universe."

"I suddenly thought of a possibility: do you think it's possible for plants to give rise to animals?"

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, yes, I had the same question after watching this live stream: is it possible for plants to evolve into exoplanets?"

"Let me explain what the person upstairs said. According to the examples Guo Zhe discovered, plants have evolved muscle-like tissues inside, giving them mobility. Is it possible that something similar to a human could further evolve, not only possessing mobility but also being able to move independently?"

"You know the elves in fantasy novels, right? They grow out of trees. Now it seems that this might become a reality."

"I've come up with a kind of puppet-like, insect-swarm-like civilization. If a mother tree civilization exists, it could split off freely moving offspring from her. These offspring could build civilizations around the mother tree, and their communication and thought processes might be similar to those of the Trisolarans."

"Then how should we reproduce?"

"They may not need to reproduce. The life of this species depends entirely on the mother tree, and the birth of new members comes from the division of the mother tree."

"Holy crap, the more I think about it, the more likely it seems. If humanity were to encounter this kind of civilization, what would be the best course of action?"

"This is indeed a question worth considering. According to humanitarian principles and the basic principles of the Humanitarian Union, perhaps we should accept them?"

"But they rely on the Mother Tree for survival, which is completely different from the Trisolarans. They cannot be conquered by human philosophy and have their own set of survival philosophy logic, namely, the Mother Tree is everything."

"It would be interesting if this civilization showed hostility towards us, as communication between the two sides would be impossible." Based on the wild imaginations of many humans, a completely new type of civilization gradually emerged, its existence logically plausible.

Jiang Fan knew that the universe generally followed this logic: as long as the law of causality made sense, even the smallest probability event would become a reality on an extremely large spatial and temporal scale.

In other words, there is a very high probability that such a mother tree civilization exists under this starry sky.

He kept these statements anonymously, recording them deep in his mind as backup data.
"If such a civilization truly exists, then the only way to force them to cease their activities is to find the location of the mother tree by any means possible."

Below came a series of replies, including how to find it, how to deal with it after finding it, and how to create plant-based viruses, etc., which were very imaginative.

The next day,

Luo Ji appeared in the office, looked at Jiang Fan and Xi Ling who came in together, and joked,
"You guys got up way too late, didn't you?"

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at him.
"None of your business? Why are you here so early today? What do you want?"

Luo Ji carried the exquisite breakfast to the reception area and waved to the two of them.

"Eat first, eat first. I haven't eaten a single bite while waiting for you."

Luo Ji managed to snatch this breakfast from a shop that only served one hundred servings a day by impersonating Jiang Fan.

As soon as the food box was opened, a rich aroma instantly filled the air, which Jiang Fan could smell even from several meters away.

It mainly sells pastries, both Chinese and Western styles, such as Crystal Hibiscus Cake, Golden Matsutake Pastry, Pure White Mist Mountain Mousse, Honey Crystal Milk Cupcakes, and so on.

Jiang Fan asked,

"You got this from Old Pi's house?"

Luo Ji licked his lips.
"That's right, it's breakfast made by Pixar. That old guy is really unfair, sneaking back and making breakfast in secret. If I hadn't gotten up early today, I wouldn't have had this treat."

Jiang Fan led Xi Ling to sit opposite Luo Ji.

"Wait a minute, weren't these all pre-ordered? Last time before Lao Pi went out to find ingredients, he even asked me what flavor I wanted to eat."

Of course, Luo Ji wouldn't admit that he only asked Lao Pi to make an extra meal under the guise of bringing food for Jiang Fan. He just made up a story.
"Yes, I reserved it and picked it up on the way here."

After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and handed them to Jiang Fan and the other person, casually adding,
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, the only thing you should not miss is delicious food."

Human life is so simple and unpretentious now. Pixar was one of the first to move into City of Dawn. Back in the United Nations era, they were Jiang Fan's die-hard fans, and for a long time, their lifelong belief was to get closer to Jiang Fan.

As for the reason, the gene-improving drug saved his daughter, and Jiang Fan saved his bleak life.

After the meal, a cleaning robot came in to tidy up. Jiang Fan warmed some tea and asked, "..."
"Now you can talk? What are you doing here?"

Luo Ji lay sprawled on the bouncy sofa, looking utterly exhausted, and sighed leisurely.

"Oh dear, Lao Jiang, you've eaten too much."

Jiang Fan was truly exasperated. He handed her a cup of digestive tea, poured another cup for Xiling, and gently reminded her...
"It's a little hot, blow on it before drinking."

Luo Ji suddenly sat up and said,

"Stop showing off, let's talk business. I've thought of a high-probability event."
