Chapter 214 Yun Tianming

This is a flat, rectangular space, approximately 300 meters long, 200 meters wide, and 100 meters high.

In this flat, rectangular space, more than half of the ground area is planted with wheat. However, the wheat is far from ripe and is still a vibrant green, somewhat like supergrass on Earth, but much tougher than those soft grasses.

These crops from Earth are struggling to grow in this alien creation.

The sky in this space is not the sky that normal people are familiar with. The sky is made up of crisscrossing luminous pipes. These pipes are the heat dissipation system of the warship's antimatter engine. Every few seconds, a beam of eerie blue light will shuttle through the pipe network like a dragon, providing simulated light and heat to the crops inside the cabin.

The only farmer on site was wearing a straw hat woven from straw and leaning on a handmade hoe, watching the scene before him. At his feet was the planting area for other vegetables. The tomatoes under his feet had already grown green fruits, and the potatoes in the distance were sprouting.

These dozens of crops were all cultivated from Earth's seeds. The Trisolarans once tried to cultivate high-yield varieties that did not require soil based on these Earth seeds, but Yun Tianming rejected them. He insisted on using meteorite fragments to imitate soil, attempting to preserve the essence of Earth in this way.

Besides these crops, there is also a small lake in this precious space. This lake is about half an acre in size. Rather than a lake, it is more like a small, crystal-clear puddle. It was quite difficult for him to gather so much pure water from the warship. With this small puddle, Yun Tianming painstakingly completed the irrigation work for these crops, which is also his daily water supply here.

Beside this small lake was a plant fiber room. The main body of the room was made of fibers woven from dried chili vines. Cheng Xin hadn't brought him any lignin-rich seeds, so he had to resort to this last resort, using plant coarse fibers instead of wood.

As for the few pieces of furniture inside, they were all handmade by him.

This small activity space may seem cramped and narrow, but it is actually the best living environment the Trisolarans can provide for him. In order to make room for this precious 300×200×100 space, the Trisolarans even moved the technology research room of the First Fleet mothership to other warships.

From this point of view alone, Yun Tianming is still very grateful to these honest Trisolarans.

However, this gratitude is only directed at certain Trisolaran individuals.

For the entire Trisolaran civilization, Yun Tianming's feelings were quite complicated.

While being abandoned by human civilization, he also went through a difficult period in the early days of the Trisolaran civilization. Even though he has now gained a high status in the Trisolaran civilization and is even hailed as a prophet, it has not changed his nature as an outsider.

In this cold universe, he was never truly accepted by any civilization.

Since his brain was captured by the Trisolaran First Fleet and his body was cloned using genetic technology, Yun Tianming endured endless experiments and torture by the Trisolarans in the early days after his resurrection, which was a nightmare for him.

These endless experiments and torments lasted for almost 10 Earth years.

Of course, this torture was not intentionally inflicted by the Trisolarans. The behavior of obtaining information and pleasure through torture is itself a result of their opaque biological nature. The Trisolarans, whose minds are completely transparent, do not have the social basis to carry out such behavior. The so-called torture by the Trisolarans is mainly due to their experiments.

But the pain these tests caused Yun Tianming was real.

In the beginning, the taciturn Yun Tianming endured almost all the 'torture' on his own. This situation continued until Yun Tianming learned to cry out in pain. Later, whenever Yun Tianming entered various experiments, he would shout "It hurts too much, I'm going to die!" and the experiment would immediately stop.

Because the Trisolarans could not tell whether Yun Tianming would really "die from the pain" or not, and could not accept the death of this only sample (the brain of a gene clone does not have real thought), they could only frequently suspend the experiment on Yun Tianming.

Only then could Yun Tianming get a moment to catch his breath.

Finally, after the Trisolarans obtained all the secrets of the human genome, they released Yun Tianming from the laboratory with satisfaction, and Yun Tianming was granted limited freedom.

Within this limited freedom, Yun Tianming began to try to save himself.

He soon discovered that the intellectually and spiritually impoverished Trisolarans possessed an irresistible allure to the stories he told. Every word he uttered, especially those with a narrative element, seemed to possess a captivating allure to the Trisolarans' minds, like a drug.

The Trisolarans always lacked a certain feeling when they indirectly obtained human cultural works through sophons, but in Yun Tianming's narration, this feeling of seeing flowers through the fog was completely resolved.

Because Yun Tianming will fully incorporate the background of the Trisolaran civilization into the storytelling.

This sparked a frenzy of fanatical admiration among the First Fleet. Throughout this long journey, waiting for Yun Tianming to update his short stories every day became the Trisolarans' greatest pleasure. Especially since the Trisolarans' minds were transparent, they couldn't hide their desires from Yun Tianming. After seeing those colorful thought membranes, Yun Tianming quickly understood what these Trisolarans wanted.

Tell a story? Go ahead and tell one!

From ancient myths to modern romance novels, from the Four Great Classical Novels to Harry Potter, Yun Tianming told every story he could think of dozens of times in just 10 years. When he ran out of stories to tell, he had no choice but to start making up his own.

But how could making up stories satisfy the needs of the Trisolarans?

Yun Tianming had no choice but to become a plagiarist.

Under Yun Tianming's influence, the First Fleet learned to deceive the main civilization and the Second Fleet. These simple deception techniques allowed the First Fleet to obtain sufficient technological resources.

The First Fleet learned to "plead poverty" with the dominant civilization in order to gain preferential treatment in terms of technological resources.

It was precisely because of this that Yun Tianming's status in the Trisolaran First Fleet rose rapidly, and he soon became almost the "prophet" of the Trisolaran First Fleet.

Yun Tianming even gained control of the Sophon. To meet Yun Tianming's needs, the First Fleet, without informing the Trisolaran civilization, spent a huge amount of precious resources to create a pair of Sophons and threw one of them into the solar system.

With the help of this sophon controlled only by the First Fleet, Yun Tianming began to transport cultural works and stories from the human world. However, as human civilization entered the era of virtual reality entertainment, the role of traditional writers was almost extinct, and the output of written content was limited. Therefore, Yun Tianming had no choice but to turn his attention to the Digital Republic.

Among those digital beings, there was one who was extremely obsessed with creating stories. The stories written by this digital personality were so childish that they were completely unpalatable to humans, but they were surprisingly suitable for the Trisolarans to read.

The blank slate of the Trisolarans is best suited for this kind of simple fairy tale.

Yun Tianming simply moved it.

By constantly adapting and transferring the novel stories of that digital personality, Yun Tianming's status in the First Fleet reached its peak. As long as he did not cross the red lines of the First Fleet of the Trisolarans, such as secretly transmitting technology to humans or revealing his true identity to the human world, he would not be subject to any restrictions.

Yun Tianming's position in the Trisolaran Fleet was almost second only to the commander of the First Fleet.

Even the fleet commander was a fan of Yun Tianming's story.

The First Fleet of the Three-Body Problem regarded Yun Tianming as its hidden treasure, and the First Fleet considered rescuing the deviated Yun Tianming back to the fleet to be the most correct thing it had ever done.

The decades she spent with Yun Tianming were happier than the hundreds of years she lived with the Trisolaran civilization.

Yun Tianming's existence also directly endowed the First Fleet with true strategic wisdom, something neither the Trisolaran civilization nor human civilization knew.

On the surface, the First Fleet launched 10+5 strong interaction force probes toward humanity, but in reality, the First Fleet also launched other interesting gadgets into the solar system, which neither the Trisolaran civilization nor human civilization knew about.

Yun Tianming discovered that the reason for the steady technological development of the Trisolaran civilization was inextricably linked to the Trisolarans' cognitive deficiencies. Yun Tianming's existence improved the First Fleet's thinking ability in the areas of "hypothesis," "hypothesis," and "association."

Under Yun Tianming's influence, the First Fleet even showed signs of a technological explosion. However, due to the limited hardware conditions of the Trisolaran First Fleet, large-scale technological experiments and demonstrations could not be carried out, which temporarily curbed the technological development speed of the Trisolaran First Fleet.

In any case, Yun Tianming had become quite accustomed to monitoring the entire human world through the sophon. Having been away from the human world for so long, Yun Tianming was also eager to communicate with the human world through this sophon.

But this kind of communication is definitely not the kind that MOSS would notice something amiss and then relentlessly press, interrogate, and even try to kill.

After Zhizi sent the message "That's enough," Yun Tianming immediately sent Zhizi out of the quantum network, ending this abrupt exchange.
