Chapter 411 Schrödinger's Old Age

"Making big meetings for small matters and small meetings for big matters, it's always been like this." Luo Ji complained to Luo Qing beside him as they walked through the rather old-fashioned United Nations building.

“Small meetings are more efficient. It’s the same in my hometown. A meeting in the Emperor’s Hall might only have a few people. But the difference is that there’s no Emperor in the Emperor’s Hall, while there’s a real Chairman of the United Nations Government in the United Nations building,” Luo Qing said casually.

Just now, the two of them faced the media and the entire solar system, and seriously discussed the issue of the Trisolaran world's initiative to sever ties. They criticized the Trisolaran government's ostrich-like behavior of trying to evade responsibility, and also took the opportunity to appease public sentiment.

For example, Luo Qing stated that he would definitely protect the Earth with his life, etc.

For example, Luo Ji also said that he would definitely work hard (cultivate himself) and so on.

This joint government conference was a must; the fact that the Three-Body world had severed ties could not be kept secret any longer, as the people already knew about it.

For the past two years, the Trisolaran world has been transmitting technological data to Earth through sophons, and one sophon, in accordance with the "Treaty of the Altar of Truth," has been unfolding a "sophon canopy" with a diameter of nearly three thousand kilometers in the sky above Asia in a three-dimensional state.

(Note: This refers to the postwar reparations treaty between the Trisolaran world, signed by the chairman of the United Government and the Trisolaran leader at the Altar of Truth.)

For the past two years, the Sophon Sky Curtain has been continuously broadcasting the meticulously crafted customs and culture of the Trisolaran world, as well as the operational status and attitude of the Trisolaran government in admitting its mistakes. This has allowed humanity to witness firsthand the operating rules of the Trisolaran world and demystify it.

It was precisely because of these live streams that a very small number of people developed sympathy for the Trisolaran world.

Previously, this behavior, like a cat rolling over and exposing its belly to beg for mercy, had indeed eased the antagonism between Earth and the Trisolarans. But now, this cat has killed all the live broadcasts of the sophons and entered a Schrödinger's breathing state.

The public isn't stupid; they immediately became alert the moment Zhizi turned off the live stream.

The coalition government also took the opportunity to announce the severing of ties with the Trisolaran world, which caused another wave of panic.

This international conference on Earth, which included more than a thousand people, lasted for more than six hours.

After the main meeting, there were still smaller meetings to be held. The brothers Luo Qing and Luo Ji arrived at the door of that familiar room.

The two stopped and looked at the familiar words on the doorplate.

United Nations Confrontation Room.

"This place is nice," Luo Qing said with a smile.

Luo Ji smiled and said, "Please, those with higher cultivation levels go first."

Pushing open the door, the two found that all the key leaders of the Earth International were waiting here, and there was even a mushroom and a dinosaur. Compared to the huge number of reporters and representatives from various countries outside, there were only a dozen or so people here, but they basically represented the top of the human pyramid today.

Although these leaders looked solemn, the weariness in their eyes was undeniable.

Luo Qing sat down opposite the group, while Luo Ji casually found a corner to sit in.

"I've already explained the situation to everyone. We can either wait for the god behind the Trisolarans to attack, or wait for Li Bai and me to attack first. Two against one, our chances of winning are higher."

When facing these leaders, Luo Qing got straight to the point.

These young, entertainment-oriented global leaders looked at each other in bewilderment.

Luo Qing had already told them about helium flashes, stellar will, star gods, and supernova explosions in advance. Although the people were confused, they were all very clear about it.

Since learning about these things, the world's international leaders have felt a deep sense of powerlessness. The absurd reality of relying on "God" to prolong the existence of civilization has not only dampened the spirits of young people, but also made these politicians who have climbed to the top of the pyramid feel extremely powerless about the future of mankind.

Luo Qing could naturally sense the decline in human morale, but he had no energy to concern himself with that at the moment. The chairman of the United Government was the most composed person present, experienced in many things, and one of the few ordinary humans who knew almost the entire truth. The elderly chairman spoke up: "Mr. Luo Qing, won't it be dangerous for you to take the initiative?"

Luo Qing shook his head: "There is definitely danger, but not much. If Li Bai and I join forces, the probability of killing the Star God is very high."

The young American president asked, "Mr. Luo Qing, what exactly is the strength of the 'gods,' and what is the battle like between 'gods'?"

Everyone's attention turned to Luo Qing, which was also the question everyone else wanted to know.

Luo Qing sighed softly and gave the people in front of him a proper explanation of the concept of "god".

"The god-level civilizations we often talk about are individuals that have achieved a state of pure energy, pure information, and low entropy. They are high-dimensional energy bodies with self-awareness, and the gods have almost completely mastered the four fundamental forces. The gods vary greatly in strength, but even a weak god can easily destroy a star of the size of the sun and has achieved a complete transformation from three-dimensional to eleven-dimensional space."

A powerful god could even erase black holes and modify physical parameters. Such a god possessed immense combat power; with current human technology, including nuclear bombs, antimatter, and four-dimensional fragmentation attacks, it was highly unlikely that they could inflict any harm on a god. Li Bai was such a god.

After hearing Luo Qing's explanation, the young American president was immediately discouraged.

The chairman of the coalition government added, "We know that humans are not capable of engaging in combat of this magnitude. Our main concern is your safety; such a god is too powerful."

Compared to the ethereal Li Bai, who spent his days drinking and composing poetry with his Chinese teacher as soon as he arrived on Earth, Luo Qing, who had a history of two hundred years, was obviously more trusted by humans. Unless absolutely necessary, no one present wanted Luo Qing to leave Earth.

"We have to try to become powerful. I know what you are worried about. It is that after I die, the aftermath of the war between the Carbon-based Federation and the Silicon-based Empire will destroy the entire human civilization. But I can tell you: the main battlefield is not near the solar system. You can rest assured."

After Luo Qing finished speaking, a layer of divine sense appeared behind him, containing the communication record between him and Lan, the commander of the Carbon-Based Federation Fleet, 14 hours ago.

In the communication log, Lan clearly stated that the construction of the starless isolation zone was basically completed, with only small star regions a few hundred light-years away from the solar system remaining to be cleared in time. A few stars could not support large-scale stellar leaps, and the silicon-based empire would not choose a single, isolated route for its military operations. Reconnaissance revealed that the silicon-based empire had concentrated its remaining fleet at the end of the Orion Arm, 1,500 light-years from the solar system—precisely the "pocket" deliberately set up by the carbon-based federation.

The carbon-based federation has summoned a musician (god) to the front lines to guard against any unusual activity by the gods of the silicon-based empire.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the final war in the galaxy will likely continue the historical pattern of confrontation between god-level individuals and a final fleet battle between carbon-based federations. This is a common scenario in the universe under advanced dark forest warfare.

Only by completely driving the remnants of the silicon-based empire out of the galaxy or annihilating them can this war come to a final end.

This string of divine communication records, containing a wealth of information about the galactic war, sent chills down the spines of the heads of state.

After a while, Luo Qing dissipated the projection of his divine sense.

The Russian female president quipped, "Looking at the universe now, I miss the Cold War era a little."

The young US president nodded: "Me too. I really miss those peaceful times, when we could occasionally have a Cuban Missile Crisis to relax."

"Even during the World Anti-Fascist War and the World Anti-Trisolaran War, there was more hope in life than now. At least we knew we would eventually win." The Chinese representative lay on the sofa, his eyes somewhat vacant.

"The world today is like a unicycle walking a tightrope, and Mr. Luo Qing is the unicycle of human civilization," the Italian-born EU president made a bitter joke.

The unicycle driver shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

The chairman of the United Government also realized that Luo Qing had done a lot behind humanity's back, even contacting the Carbon-Based Federation in advance.

But this also shows that:
The more preparations Luo Qing made, the more urgent the Three-Body Problem became.
