"I saw new knowledge, a new perspective on physics that wasn't locked down by sophons... well, it was a bit depressing."
The open book was closed, and Ding Yi showed Zhang Beihai the title of the book he was studying.
"Advanced Physics... middle school edition?"
This batch of paper books were temporarily printed for the humans on Starship. AI simply grabbed some books from public databases, and none of them involved high-tech or confidential technology.
But for humans, whose physics has been locked down by the Trisolarans for two centuries, the textbooks for the imperial students are enough to make top human physicists like Ding Yi excited to the point of losing their hair.
"Yes, I had a hard time digesting even their middle school textbooks. They're truly a civilization capable of faster-than-light speeds... How did I say that before?"
Ding Yi seemed to be wondering what word would be appropriate to describe the Star Sea Empire.
"Oh, so tall and hard. If the Trisolarans mess with the Star Empire, the best outcome is to be locked up in a zoo."
"Super light speed?"
Clapping his ears, Zhang Beihai thought he had misheard.
"Yes, faster than light, physics has been given a new interpretation by the Empire."
Ding Yi had witnessed the shuttle jump, and combined with the brief promotional introductions to some warships in the Empire's children's books, he came to this conclusion that made his worldview collapse several times.
The Star Empire is a super interstellar empire that has mastered a civilization that actually exceeds the speed of light and has several ways of using it.
If the Trisolarans can treat humans as insects by relying on the technological gap, then in front of the Star Empire, the Trisolaran civilization will be nothing more than microorganisms that can be crushed at will.
"The books over there contain an introduction to The Core of the Star Empire: The Origin of the Human Federation. I think that's what you came to the library to read, Beihai... I won't spoil the details, but I can only say it's very shocking."
"It seems that after two centuries of bad luck, humanity is finally starting to get lucky?"
Zhang Beihai is not a researcher, and his understanding and shock of the speed of light or superluminal speed is not as profound as Ding Yi's. However, judging from the goodwill shown by the Star Sea Empire now, it is enough to make this "Wallfacer" who is not a Wallfacer breathe a sigh of relief.
"very nice."

Chapter 262 Pan-Human Community Admission Regulations
The next morning.
The natural park that Si Ye and the Chinese agents came into contact with yesterday is now bustling with activity. As a gesture of goodwill, various facilities that had been closed for a long time were renovated overnight. However, citizens certainly cannot be allowed to get involved in such matters, so the people coming and going now are all clerical agents disguised as tourists and staff.
"Is it the Dragon King or an alien?"
Zhou Zhezhi was resting his eyes in the car, listening to the secretary beside him telling him the minutes of the coalition government meeting that he missed yesterday, when suddenly there was a somewhat inappropriate exclamation from outside the car.
There was no warning at all, and the normal air defense radar was as dead as if it had no reaction. A silver-white spaceship seemed to have emerged from the air, hovering carelessly about 10 meters above the ground, its silver-white shell shining brightly in the rising sun.
“…It’s getting more and more outrageous…”
At yesterday's meeting, some people linked the sudden appearance of Si Ye to the inexplicable damage of the planetary engine test machine, but it was just a guess. After all, it was more than 700 trillion tons of matter, and no one could figure out what force could move such a huge mass out of thin air.
But now...if 'Dragon King' = 'aliens', then maybe it's not impossible?
"Let's go down and meet this 'Dragon King'"
Refusing the secretary's help, Zhou Zhe straightened his back and walked towards the square where the shuttle was hovering.
Shuxian jumped down from the spaceship. At a height of 10 meters, the Sui Beast Agent didn't even bend his knees. The special agents in charge of security around him twitched their eyes when they saw him.
The shuttle was stored away again, wrapped in silver particles. Si Ye also landed lightly on the ground, weighing a storage device similar to a USB flash drive in his hand, and quickly walked towards Zhou Zhezhi, whom he had met once in the cinema in his previous life.
"Hello, my name is Si Ye. Can I sign the contract?"
After a polite handshake, Si Ye spoke frankly.
"...Welcome to China... If you love the beautiful scenery of China, we naturally have no objections..."
Zhou Zhe kept looking at Si Ye, he didn't expect Si Ye to be so direct.
"It's a bit inappropriate to talk while standing. Mr. Si Ye and this... lady, it's still early. Have you had breakfast yet? Why don't you let me show my hospitality?"
Zhou Zhe was racking his brains over how to address Shu, but even though he had watched the video recording the secret agent's operation yesterday, he was still extremely shocked when a dragon girl with a dragon tail and dragon horns, who lived up to the Chinese mythology, appeared before him.
"Just call me Shu."
Shu nodded silently, took a step back without making any expression, and landed behind Si Ye, indicating that Si Ye had the final say between the two of them.
Even in the morning, discussing business at the dinner table is an indispensable part of Chinese life.
Si Ye decided to go with Shu's preference and said, "Breakfast? That's fine too. Do you have rice noodles and pan-fried buns?"
"nature."
In order to entertain Si Ye, an unknown existence, the resort now has a whole team of top chefs. Not to mention breakfast, even if Si Ye wants to have a world-class banquet, he can be satisfied immediately.
The conversation quickly moved to the resort's restaurant. Perhaps due to the dialect tone in Shu's words, plates of Minnan-style breakfast were quickly served.
"Hmm... That's too much. It's never good to waste food."
Shu frowned and subconsciously spoke to stop the special agent from serving the food.
"That's it for now."
Zhou Zhezhi stopped the excessive use of force in the kitchen, and after considering his words, he tentatively asked Si Ye:
"Mr. Si Ye and Miss Shu seem to know China very well. Are you really the 'dragons' from mythology, as we suspected? Or do you have other identities? Of course, I'm asking this question, so if you don't feel comfortable answering, you don't have to."
After wiping his mouth, Si Ye, feeling satisfied, decided to give Little Ball a half-level raise.
After all, it's hard to find such a pure breakfast. The Earth in the Stars has been ruined by the waste of the Earth Union. It's hard to eat a pure natural steamed bun in the Cyberpunk world. The Three-Body World has long become the Asian Union. If you want to eat some authentic soy milk, fried dough sticks and pan-fried buns, you can only find them in the Little Ball.
"Not from fairy tales, and not a dragon."
Si Ye shook his head to deny it. It was fine to play a prank, but there was no point in playing tricks.
With a flick of his fingertips, projections of flags representing the Star Sea Empire, the Pan-Human Community, and the Human Federation appeared in the air. Si Ye sat up straight, his tone becoming slightly more serious.
"Let's re-understand the Pan-Human Community, a trans-world organization centered on the concept of humanity."
“Ahem…can you explain it in detail?”
The information Si Ye threw out was too much, and Zhou Zhe couldn't hold it in.
Although the entertainment industry in the Wandering Earth world began to decline under a solemn atmosphere after the discovery of the Solar Crisis, some necessary creative ideas still exist.
It’s not the dragon in mythology, nor the aliens, but rather the more outrageous human civilization from another world.
The think tanks responsible for providing advice were arguing so loudly in the conference room that it gave Zhou Zhezhi a headache.
"The Pan-Human Community was established by the Star Sea Empire, with the Human Federation as its main body. Its main purpose is to absorb and support fellow alien worlds who are also under the banner of humanity and facing crises, to help each other and achieve mutual progress."
Si Ye pointed to the rising sun outside, his meaning was self-evident.
"Your world has been labeled as the Wandering Earth by the Empire,"
"The Wandering Earth..."
Chewing on these four words over and over again, Zhou Zhezhi nodded.
"It's a very fitting name. If the Mountain Moving Project succeeds, the Earth will indeed wander with us."
"However, the Community doesn't simply accept human civilization. It has a complete set of systems, and the most important one for you is..."
Si Ye was giving the other party a shot of prevention.
"The Pan-Human Community's entry regulations state that a human civilization wishing to join the community as a member state or partner must ensure the existence of a unified management system or political structure for the entire civilization. Otherwise, they will be forced to voluntarily relinquish sovereignty and accept the stewardship of the Human Federation."
This is why Si Ye said it came too early. The current coalition government was just established under the pressure of the solar crisis. There is no internal coordination at all, and the countries have not begun to cede power.
It is highly likely that as soon as the Empire resolves the solar crisis, the United Government will be in name only. At that time, Si Ye will have to consider whether to use an agent model or cover the Earth with a shield and let them perform the Lakshir ritual until unification.
"this…"
Obviously, the fact that Si Ye specifically mentioned it means that the current united government on Earth is not qualified.
Zhou Zhezhi wanted to say something, but the reality made him unable to refute. Although the current coalition government was also playing its part, if a deus ex machina suddenly appeared to resolve the solar crisis, the world would quickly return to its previous state in order to compete for the right to speak or for more benefits.
"…So your intention in coming to our world is…"
"I'm here to travel and see if you can join the community as a member nation. If not, I'll just conduct some trivial transactions with you as a personal member, and then when you encounter a crisis you can't handle, I'll intervene and incorporate you into the community."
Just like the Jupiter crisis or the great rebellion in the novel, when a civilization loses its main control, we can take direct action according to the pan-human community civilization rescue rules, and then directly absorb it into the community like in the cyberpunk world, and let people jointly manage it.
Si Ye paused and slammed the memory card he had been tossing around in his hands onto the table.
"So, here's the deal I'm negotiating with you personally. I've selected a technology that barely meets the minimum requirements for use at your current level, and an ecosystem technology that can triple the capacity of your dungeon, in exchange for the opening of various scenic spots and their supporting facilities."
three times!
Zhou Zhezhi, who was still thinking about the information of the Pan-Human Community, was slightly shocked. This was a much larger number than he had previously imagined.
If it is true as Si Ye said, humans would at least not have to suffer the pain of separation from their loved ones and wives and children due to the dungeon's insufficient capacity.
"As the host country, we should naturally provide support if you want to travel within our country..."
Human relationships are the catalyst for human interaction. Although Zhou Zhezhi really wants this technology that can save countless families, he still shows the magnanimity of a great Chinese nation and wants to use the traditional Chinese way of interacting with human relationships to deepen his communication with Si Ye.
"Well, the Star Empire's main philosophy is that you get what you pay for. You work hard and then you get rewarded. This is the way it should be. If you want to do research or join the pan-human community, this is something you must adapt to."
"...So...then, we'll accept it?"
Si Ye had said so much, and even out of respect for the other party's tradition, Zhou Zhezhi could only stand up and shake hands with Si Ye, finalizing this deal that was not really a deal.
...
Chapter 263 MOSS
The two parties signed an extremely brief contract, which was considered a formality.
As a contingency plan, a thousand-person service team was prepared for Si Ye and Shu and quickly got to work, providing everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation to tour guides explaining special roadside snacks, with thoughtful service.
The storage device loaded with ecosystem technology was placed behind several security measures and urgently sent to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for research.
"How about it? Can the technical verification be carried out now?"
Due to the loss of a 550C quantum computer while starting the lunar engine, a new 550C has not yet been built.
So the Chinese Academy of Sciences directly took out the 550E, which was still in the experimental stage in the laboratory, intending to verify the actual situation of the technology provided by Siye.
