The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 24 Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao
It was Saturday again, but Jiang Yu had already missed rest, so he came to Ye Wenjie's house after breakfast, and continued to take Yang Dong out to relax.

After Yang Dong's attempted suicide, Jiang Yu could clearly feel that Ye Wenjie's attitude towards him became more intimate, more and more like an elder caring for a younger generation.

This is a good sign, which shows that Ye Wenjie has already regarded him as one of her own.

At the same time, Jiang Yu deeply felt that he was now walking a tightrope on a cliff, and he had to maintain the balance between Ye Wenjie and Kong Xiang in order to successfully walk to the other side of the cliff.

Jiang Yu didn't intend to continue taking Yang Dong to the scenic spot today, it was too tiring!

He brought Yang Dong to the game hall: "Have you ever played the popular "Three-Body Problem" in the scientific world?"

Yang Dong shook his head: "How can I have time to play games?"

"Now you have time." Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Let's give yourself a game name first, well, everyone likes to use historical figures as their ID."

Yang Dong thought for a while: "Madame Curie!"

"Alright Mrs. Curie, please put on your suit and let's enter the game together."

Yang Dong asked, "What's the name of your game?"

"Zilu." Jiang Yu said helplessly. Before that, Jiang Yu worked hard to gain Kong Xiang's trust as soon as possible.

The two entered the game together, and Yang Dong chose the "multiplayer mode" under Jiang Yu's guidance, and appeared together on a white snowfield.

The sky is still a small sun, and two flying stars.

Looking at the scenery in the game, Yang Dong let out a breath of air: "This game is really exquisite!"

"The most exquisite is there!" Jiang Yu pointed to the sky, and explained to Yang Dong what a flying star is, as well as common sense of games such as Constant Era and Chaotic Era.

Yang Dong nodded knowingly: "Is this simulating a planet far from the sun?
"According to the size of the sun, the distance between this planet and the star is probably beyond the orbit of Mars, but it has not yet reached the main asteroid belt."

She looked at the sky, but found that the small sun seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, and then a flying star became bigger and bigger, and in an instant the flying star became the sun, and the original sun became a flying star.

Yang Dong was dumbfounded: "What's going on?"

"The fun of this game is to find clues and verify the answers by yourself." Jiang Yu smiled, and pointed to the end of the snow field: "There seems to be someone over there."

The cold wind was raging, and the remaining snow on the ground was rolled up, making the whole world white.

In the white cold wind, several black shadows were slowly moving.

Jiang Yu said: "Only by contacting NPCs can we join the main line of the game. Let's go, I will take you to experience this imaginative world."

The two met the black figures and found that they were a few slow-moving cars. The shape of these cars was a bit like the cars from the 40s and [-]s, giving people a retro feeling.

The tires of the car are all crawler-type, so they can run unimpeded in the snow.

Jiang Yu waved to them, the convoy stopped and a young man got out of the second car: "So it's Zilu, welcome to the Han Empire."

The young man is about 1.8 meters tall, with red phoenix eyes, wearing a lun scarf, a crane cloak, and a feather fan in his hand.

Jiang Yu asked familiarly: "Who are you? Where are you going now?"

"I am Zhuge Liang!" The other party shook his feather fan in the ice and snow: "I am going to meet Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and explain to him the new hope I have found."

Jiang Yu asked: "Have you found the law of the sun's operation?"

"No, we have always had a misunderstanding. Our hope is not necessarily in the sky." Zhuge Liang said confidently.

"Can you take us with you?" Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Maybe we can help."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded: "Of course, please get in the car."

When getting into the car, Jiang Yu whispered to Yang Dong, "This is a game with a high degree of autonomy. You can find relevant clues by yourself."

Yang Dong nodded, and got into the car with Jiang Yu, and the convoy continued on.

There is a lot of space in the carriage, and Jiang Yu, Yang Dong, and Zhuge Liang sat facing each other without looking crowded.

Jiang Yu pointed to the snow scene outside the window and said, "Is this the Chaos Era?"

"No, it's Hengjiyuan." Zhuge Liang said: "Hengjiyuan, which lasted for more than two centuries, has allowed our technology to develop rapidly. Look, that is the steel dragon we made."

Jiang Yu followed Zhuge Liang's fingers and saw a train roaring towards him like a giant steel beast.

Looking at the locomotive, it should be an internal combustion engine train. It is dragging sections of the train skin and advancing rapidly on the track.

Jiang Yu sighed: "The last civilization only came to the feudal era. I didn't expect you to come to the era of internal combustion engines."

Zhuge Liang admired the majestic figure of the train and said with a smile: "It's all because of our good luck. You can see that the food in each carriage is a gift from heaven!"

Yang Dong also joined the ranks of obtaining information: "What kind of food is in the train?"

"Fish in the sea!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The earth is frozen and there is no way to grow crops, but the sea is full of life.

"This winter, which has lasted for more than ten years, has left most people in a state of dehydration, but the sea has provided food for 6% of people, so that we can continue to find ways to get the world out of trouble."

Yang Dong's expression is like a child who just got candy: "Ho Ho! More than ten years of winter! Seconds!"

But Jiang Yu exhaled: "This kind of Hengjiyuan is too cold!"

Zhuge Liang said: "It's better than 200 years ago, when people were hot and cold for a while."

Jiang Yu tilted his body and looked out. The way the three suns operate now is completely different from what he has seen and heard before, and he doesn't know what the current situation of the Trisolaran galaxy is.

Yang Dong continued to ask questions, and soon came to the conclusion that there are three stars in the sky.

After all, she just saw the sun turning into a flying star, and the flying star turning into a sun. This round of civilization is easier to draw this conclusion than any other era.

When Zhuge Liang couldn't provide any more clues, Jiang Yu adjusted the game time quickly.

After driving for three days, the convoy finally arrived at Luoyang, where there are many pyramids, the largest of which is the Imperial Palace.

After passing through layers of inspections by the guards, Jiang Yu and the other three came to a side hall, waiting for the emperor to receive him.

Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to remind: "Cao Cao, the prime minister next to the emperor, is the actual controller of the empire. Don't make a mistake about who you are loyal to."

Jiang Yu complained about the history of being spoiled by ETO: "Shouldn't you be loyal to Uncle Liu?"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback: "What book do you keep?"

"Just pretend I didn't say it." Jiang Yu pinched his forehead. It seems that under the high-handed rule, peasant uprisings and warlord melees never happened.

Cao Cao took power in the imperial court as he wished, but Liu Bei and Sun Quan had no room to survive in such an environment.

Soon the emperor summoned Jiang Yu and the three of them. In the spacious Qin and Han style hall, the emperor was high above the emperor, and beside the emperor stood a middle-aged man with small eyes and a long beard.

The middle-aged man is more majestic than the emperor, he asked: "Zhuge Liang, I heard that you have thought of a way to get us out of trouble?"

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang said: "Our focus has always been on the sky, but we have neglected the utilization of the massive resources of the entire planet."
