Chapter 409 Yun is furious! (3k)

Yun Tianming stood up and clapped his hands.

"Need a reason?"

The commander nodded.

"First, is the will of the stars deceiving you?"

"How could the sun lie?"

"If the universe can lie, what about the sun?"

Yun Tianming pointed to the metal wall of the ecological capsule, outside which lay the cold universe. "Conscious things can lie, and that so-called stellar will is no exception. Deceiving you Trisolarans is easier than playing with dogs."

The First Fleet Commander's expression turned grim, but he was unable to refute it.

"second."

Yun Tianming held up two fingers: "Returning is certain death. The Oort cloud is a thin interstellar dust cloud. In such a place full of matter, it is almost impossible to capture antimatter particles in the vacuum through a magnetic funnel. Once you enter the Oort cloud and consume all the antimatter reserves, the First Fleet will never be able to get out."

The commander nodded with difficulty.

"third."

Yun Tianming continued, "The Carbon-based Federation has not been resolved. We must always be vigilant against the Carbon-based Federation's reckoning with the Trisolaran civilization for violating the defeat agreement... I remember your home planet still owes the Carbon-based Federation a lot of 'money,' and if the Silicon-based Empire is so powerful, why was it driven to this small corner of the Milky Way by the Carbon-based Federation? When choosing sides, you have to choose the stronger one."

The commander nodded with difficulty.

"fourth."

Yun Tianming's voice was as calm as still water: "Luo Qing has not been dealt with either. I have emphasized this many times. Luo Qing is a cultivator, a cultivator with the potential to grow, and he has not yet become an immortal. Luo Qing is fundamentally different from those technological gods in the universe. He can continuously grow. Can those gods do that? Even without becoming an immortal, he can fight the will of a star to a standstill. How do you know that the Star God can kill him instead of being killed by him?"

The commander's thought process almost froze.

"fifth."

“The mother planet doesn’t love you, it doesn’t love the First Fleet.” Yun Tianming’s voice was very soft, but it was like a needle piercing the commander’s heart: “You are not the Second Fleet with the ability to travel at the speed of light, you are just outdated space junk. The mother planet knows this, and they don’t care about your life or death. To them, your life or death has nothing to do with the mother planet.”

"sixth."

Yun Tianming suddenly got angry, walked up to the commander, and almost roared: "Isn't the fleet the same? You have been sailing for two hundred years, far away from the solar system and far away from the Trisolaran system, and you are still doing well."

You have eco-pods born from a technological explosion, 20 million dehydrated compatriots, and engines capable of collecting antimatter! You are not their tools; you are life forms capable of taking root on your own!

"But is this betrayal?"

"How long are you going to be so childish?" Yun Tianming asked with a cold laugh after finishing his performance of anger.

He picked up a string of dried wheat ears and gently shook it. "What is betrayal? Is it watching your fellow countrymen in the fleet die one by one because they run out of fuel, or is it destroying this wheat field, all the hope we've built up over the past two hundred years, for a home planet that doesn't care about us at all?"

The fleet commander was almost convinced.

Yun Tianming said casually, "The DX3906 star system has blue oceans and land where wheat can grow. It is Blue Star, a Blue Star as blue as Earth."

“I’m worried that the ecosystem won’t be able to support us to the DX3906 galaxy. Earth is about 286.5 light-years away, which is too far.” The commander’s thoughts still had a last struggle. “Even if the ecosystem can withstand it, there won’t be enough food and oxygen.”

"Starship Earth only has twelve ships and fewer than 50,000 people, making it smaller than us. Moreover, it cannot replenish its nuclear fusion fuel. At least we can collect antimatter particles. If even they dare to sail to distant places, do you think they have enough supplies?"

Yun Tianming said casually.

"Moreover, we have dehydrated Trisolarans to eat, which are also quite delicious when they are dry and crispy. Twenty million people can eat them for a very long time. Water resources can also be recycled. I can also grow wheat and live, or I can take my brain out and freeze it again."

Yun Tianming squatted down and pulled a stalk of wheat with roots still attached from the soil. The roots were still covered in damp soil. "If you really don't want to eat your companions, you can try eating wheat. With a little processing, you can digest this kind of carbohydrate food."

We can save half of this year's harvest as seeds to plant more wheat fields next year. The fleet's biosynthesizer can convert wheat husks and stalks into nutrients, so perhaps our 2000 million dehydrated comrades will only need to eat half... Once we reach DX3906, we can awaken the remaining companions, plant wheat together, and build our home together.”

He replanted the wheat in the soil, carefully covering the roots with mud.

"Your home planet has gone mad. They are doomed under the supernova crisis. All they can think about now is taking over Earth. But they have never thought that we can build our own 'Earth'. We don't need to conquer anyone, we don't need to be afraid of anyone. We can grow wheat and nurture life with our own hands. Isn't that what civilization should be like?"

Yun Tianming's voice gradually turned cold.

"Moreover, the positions of the solar system and the Trisolaran system are now completely exposed to the other side, and humanity has also come to understand the Dark Forest Theory."

In the subsequent Prisoner's Dilemma, once one side's god loses, the losing side will definitely reveal the other's location, triggering a Dark Forest attack in an attempt to destroy both sides. Earth really has nothing to offer, and neither does your home planet.

"I have finished speaking. Regarding the decree ordering the fleet to change course on the home planet, who agrees and who disagrees?"

After Yun Tianming finished speaking, the commander realized that Yun Tianming had unknowingly controlled that special sophon to broadcast a live message across the entire fleet. It wanted to intervene, but it was too late. The First Fleet's eight remaining ships, totaling nine hundred and twelve, successively responded to the mothership:
[Fleet at the Vanguard: The voyage is uncertain, obstacles abound, we are temporarily not obeying orders!]

[Left-flank fleet: The left flank is undefended and may lose its protective barrier; proceed with caution as ordered!]

[Right-wing fleet: Right flank defenses not secure, supplies await transfer, unlikely to obey orders!]

[Central Fleet: The overall situation is unstable; turning will be dangerous; we are unable to obey orders!]

[Rearguard Fleet: Rear defenses not yet secured, fuel supplies limited, we refuse to obey orders!]

After years of planning by Yun Tianming, the first public vote of the Three-Body First Fleet has officially begun.

...

...

...

"Prophet, what should we do with the sophon on our home planet?"

"What sophon? Didn't that sophon accidentally fall into the antimatter chamber and annihilate?"

"Oh right, our warship is old and in disrepair, and some antimatter has accidentally leaked out... But Zhizi is running too fast, how can we avoid accidentally splashing it on her?"

"Tell them we encountered a spaceship from Starship Earth, and ask them to unfold their sophons in six dimensions and communicate with us."

"But...aren't the twelve spaceships on Starship Earth heading in the opposite direction from us?"

"Um?"

"Oh right, they turned a corner and just happened to run into us. Let's tell our home planet that!"

"The mother planet was indeed very excited; they unfolded the six dimensions of the sophon!"

"Oops, the antimatter bullet accidentally hit the target."

"Without this sophon, our home planet will be completely out of our sight. As long as we make a slight change in our orbit, even if they send out another sophon, they will not be able to find us in this vast universe."

"Well, children can be taught."

...

Since destroying the Tomoko that was monitoring the First Fleet, the entire fleet suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Interestingly, throughout the rest of the fleet, no one wanted to dehydrate.

Through a democratic vote, Yun Tianming almost gained supreme command of the fleet, effectively sidelining the commander of the First Fleet.

Shortly after being sidelined, the commander of the First Fleet inexplicably became dehydrated. Later, the military doctor determined that it was likely due to allergic dehydration caused by malt alcohol poisoning. On the way to treatment, he was accidentally eaten by the unsuspecting Trisolarans.

Yun was furious and ordered the execution of the Trisolaran who had eaten the commander.

More and more Trisolarans began to revolve around Yun Tianming, and almost all decisions were made entirely based on this prophet.

"Prophet, what if our home planet becomes suspicious and sends light-speed warships to hunt us down?"

"With the supernova crisis looming, the primary purpose of all their spacecraft should be to take as many Trisolarans as possible away from the Trisolaran system, the farther the better."

"Prophet, based on your understanding of cultivators, can the Star God defeat Luo Qing?"

"Let's go fifty-fifty."

"Prophet, you are human. Would you rather Earth or the Trisolarans win?"

"I don't care, I just hope the fleet survives."

"Prophet, prophet, is the DX3906 galaxy really that good?"

"Of course, in another hundred years or so, the sophons flying towards the DX3906 star system will reveal this wonderful new world. According to our detection, the DX3906 star system has two planets, one of which is a solid planet with a small orbital radius and a volume similar to Earth. That must be a habitable planet..."

Throughout the wheat field where the prophet resided, visitors from the Trisolarans came in an endless stream. The light from the engines above gradually warmed up. In this dream filled with wheat ears, and under Yun Tianming's guidance, the still conscious Trisolarans gradually forgot about the unattainable Earth and the Trisolaran star system that was forever dancing a strange gravitational dance. In the dream, only that infinitely beautiful blue land remained.

The blue star that Yun Tianming promised seemed to be right before their eyes.
