Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

He was arguably the first person in the Three-Body Problem universe to see through the insignificance of human civilization.

"I need to verify that everything you just said is true."

"Yes, time will tell. If you've thought it through, contact Wang Miao. I should be with him for a while."

Yang Bo greatly admired the scientists in the Three-Body Problem world, just as the Trisolarans had guessed, if Earth's technology were not restricted.

Once they arrive on Earth, they might actually be no match for humans.

Unfortunately.

Whether it's humans or the Trisolarans, they were destined to perish from the very beginning; the dimensional reduction of the universe was already predetermined.

Chapter 401 The Frontiers of Science

"How about we go get some barbecue first?"

Lost in thought, Wang Miao walked down the street, processing the events of the past two days, especially tonight.

Yang Bo, who was standing next to him, pointed to the barbecue stalls in the distance and suggested:

"How about we go grab something to eat?"

"I…"

"Don't spoil the mood. Things have come to this point, so we should eat first. What? Do you think you can really solve the problem of scientists committing suicide if you don't eat?"

Wang Miao's eyes were complicated. After a moment of silence, he finally nodded.

"You're right, but I have a few more questions I'd like to ask you."

"Let's eat and chat."

Yang Bo walked up to the barbecue stall and shouted to the owner standing in front of the grill:

"Let's start with a skewer of lamb, two fatty kidneys, a dozen oysters, and some draft beer. We'll eat now and talk about the rest later."

"okay!"

The boss responded and continued working diligently.

The two found a place to sit, and the aroma of cooking in the air really whetted Yang Bo's appetite.

"I don't eat kidneys..."

"Huh? I didn't order for you. I saw that you probably couldn't eat, so I ordered for myself."

I picked up the draft beer that the landlady had brought me.

Glug-glug-glug

"Cool!"

"Comrade Wang, don't look so gloomy. As the saying goes, there's always a way out, and things will work themselves out. If you keep looking so sad, what's going to happen will happen. So, you have to take things easy."

Wang Miao looked at the pedestrians, shops and neon signs on the roadside. He began to hallucinate and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"Here, have some almond water."

A metal thermos was pushed in front of him, and Wang Miao had lost all dignity as a scientist.

His confused mind made him instinctively obey external commands, much like how a person who is engrossed in making a phone call might subconsciously accept something handed to them by someone else.

As soon as he drank the almond water, Wang Miao felt as if his brain had been immersed in cold water, and his overheated thinking was instantly refreshed.

"What's this?"

"Almond water, have you ever read any Cthulhu novels?"

"I've seen it."

"This thing is specifically designed to restore SAN, or sanity. Right now, you're giving off the feeling of having heard the legends of the ancient gods."

Just as Wang Miao was about to speak, Yang Bo's voice rang in his mind again.

"I know what you want to ask, but let's stick to encrypted communication."

"What's your opinion on the fact that physics no longer exists?"

"Standing and watching! How else can you watch? Although I can't understand the 'belief' in science held by those cutting-edge physicists, I respect them."

However, as an ordinary person, I have a different perspective on this matter.

"These are complimentary peanuts and edamame."

The proprietress, who wasn't particularly beautiful but looked capable and healthy, placed a platter of peanuts and edamame on the table.

"The proprietress is so generous! Give me another 10 skewers of fried pork belly and a serving of grilled eggplant, and a keg of draft beer to start with."

The proprietress smiled radiantly.

"okay."

"Physics is there, whether or not humans discover it, it exists objectively."

As an ordinary person, I had no idea what scientists were doing in the lab all day, nor had I ever seen Newton, Copernicus, or Einstein.

But can I say that what you are studying does not exist?

"Obviously not. The problem now is that the Trisolaran civilization arranged for the super artificial AI Sophon to descend to Earth to stop human scientific development. But this only proves that the Trisolarans' technology is superior, not that physics does not exist. In fact, it proves that the path of physics is a long and arduous one for humanity."

"Just take this as me bragging. I know a lot about your scientific community, but I'll come back and discuss science with you when I'm all-knowing and all-powerful."

Wang Miao remained silent. He picked up the almond water and gulped it down, leaving not a drop.

For the rest of the time, Wang Miao sat on the bench outside, lost in thought, while he ate heartily, eventually ordering two portions of everything available at the barbecue stall.

Although it was a bit of a hassle, there were so many of them, and they were all profitable items, so the proprietress couldn't stop smiling.

The next day.

As dawn broke, Yang Bo knocked on Wang Miao's door.

"Old Wang, it's time for us to set off."

The door opened, and Wang Miao emerged from the bedroom with heavy dark circles under her eyes.

"No, you really didn't sleep yesterday?"

After a few seconds of silence, Wang Miao walked towards the bathroom: "Do you think I can still sleep?"

"Your attitude is just not right. Alright, I'll put two bottles of almond water in the fridge for you. Take them with you and have a sip whenever you feel like it."

Today, Wang Miao is going to the Science Frontier. Whether it's for the police or for his own reasons, he wants to go and see the gathering being held at the Science Frontier.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang.

Yang Bo glanced at the door and found that it was Ding Yi.

'I don't remember this part being in the plot...'

Walk over and open the door.

Another pair of panda eyes, but compared to last night, Ding Yi looked much cleaner and more neat this time, probably because she had tidied herself up specially.

"Yang Bo, there are some things I'd like to talk to you about."

"Okay, come in first. You were also invited to the Science Frontier today, right? We'll go together later."

Stepping aside to let Ding Yi in, Wang Miao, who was washing up, peeked out from the bathroom. After seeing Ding Yi, he nodded slightly and then pulled his head back in.

"Sit on the sofa and rest for a bit. Old Wang just got up too. By the way, would you like a glass of almond water? It works really well for you scientists, at least... all the scientists I've met say it's good."

Ding Yi reached out and took the almond water. Looking at the milky white liquid in the cup, she hesitated for a moment before taking a small sip.

The almond water produced by Houshi also has immediate effects.

"this…"

"As long as it tastes good."

"I still have some questions."

Ding Yi had a strong thirst for knowledge, and now that someone who clearly knew a lot was in front of him, how could he possibly resist?

Especially the suicide of his fiancée.

He was helpless. He knew that Yang Dong was obsessed with the truth of the universe, and that worldly pleasures could not hold her back. His love could not save her from her mental collapse.

But now that he has the opportunity to learn the 'truth', he naturally won't let it go.

"Let's go together later, otherwise Lao Wang will have to ask again."

"it is good."

Soon, Wang Miao finished washing up and came out of the bathroom. He glanced at Ding Yi and asked, "Are you also going to the party?"

"Some of the theories put forward by people at the forefront of science are very intriguing, and I want to investigate the truth."

"Then let's go together."

After saying that, Yang Bo walked straight outside. Wang Miao and Ding Yi exchanged a glance and then walked outside together.

Chapter 402 First Meeting with Shi Qiang

"Does the death of a scientist have anything to do with the boundaries of science?"

On the way to the mountain manor, Ding Yi drove Yang Bo and Wang Miao.

Upon hearing Ding Yi's question, Yang Bo wasn't worried about spoilers and directly told the two about the boundaries of science.

"Yes, in reality, the Science Frontier Organization is just a disguise for the Earth-Three Body Organization (ETO)."

The organization is mainly divided into three factions: the Adventists, the Salvationists, and the Surrenderists.

However, although they belong to different factions, they are all considered traitors to the ball.

They accepted the Trisolarans' mission: to use philosophical reasoning to destroy the beliefs of theoretical physicists and clear the way for the Trisolarans' future arrival.

"However, your fiancée Yang Dong's suicide was not entirely due to the interference of Zhizi with the experimental data."

Ding Yi gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed on the road in front of the car window without responding.
