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

Chapter 479 Two Cheng Ping
At the moment, Luo Ji calmed down, now is naturally not the time to talk about what happened to him.

He unhurriedly got down from the gangway and began to shake hands with the first person: "Thank you for your warm welcome."

Then came the second one, and then the third one. When he shook hands with Cheng Ping, Luo Ji took advantage of the handshake and whispered, "Come to my place tonight."

Cheng Ping was taken aback for a moment, then nodded again and again.

Those who came to welcome Luo Ji also included his wife Zhuang Yan. Luo Ji was sent to Pluto when he was in the bunker for 66 years.

Pluto's conditions were very poor, so Luo Ji asked the solar system country to send his wife to his daughter.

The two of them just hugged briefly when they met. After all, on such an occasion, it is not suitable for too intimate behavior.

After shaking hands, everyone invited Luo Ji to give a speech.

Although the earth is now facing an unknown crisis, it can be seen that Luo Ji's arrival has given everyone great encouragement.

After the welcoming ceremony, there will be a welcome banquet.

When Luo Ji finished participating in these public activities, it was already afternoon, and Luo Ji, accompanied by his daughter and wife, returned to the residence arranged for him to rest for a while.

After dinner, Luo Ji called Zhuang Yue over, "I have something very important to investigate tonight, and I need your cooperation."

Zhuang Yue was slightly taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that the mother is still telling the truth, okay, okay, I will explain everything."

She smiled and sat beside Luo Ji: "I have indeed found someone I like, and I planned to introduce you to you in a few days."

Luo Ji pinched his temples: "Unexpected circumstances have solved a major case."

Then he asked with a kind smile, "Which young man has such good luck?"

Zhuang Yue was considered to be from the early years of the crisis, but she entered a long hibernation shortly after she was born, and later when she joined the army in the solar system country, she was awake for decades.

Later, at work, she hibernated several times, so she is only in her 90s now.

In an environment where the average age of the countries in the solar system has reached about 220 years old, she is still considered middle-aged.

"He is a military software engineer of the Academy of Sciences." Zhuang Yue introduced: "We met at work. He looks somewhat rigid, but he is very humorous."

This topic couldn't be stopped from the very beginning, and Luo Ji started to ask how old he was with a smile.What is his main occupation?Are his parents around?
When Cheng Ping came to the door, the father and daughter had a tacit understanding and stopped this topic.

Luo Ji took a few deep breaths, trying to separate himself from the warm family topic.

After a few seconds, Luo Ji said seriously: "What we're going to talk about tonight, Zhuang Yue will be the witness. In the end, you can decide what method to use for the investigation."

Cheng Ping was taken aback for a moment. He thought Luo Ji was looking for him to reminisce about old times. Why was he so serious all of a sudden?

Luo Ji said to the smart computer in the room, "Please play the video I just transmitted."

The content of this video is naturally the process of Luo Ji talking with Cheng Ping on the spaceship.

After seeing the video, Cheng Ping and Zhuang Yue were very surprised.

Cheng Ping immediately fell into a state of self-doubt, because as far as he could remember, he had never talked to Luo Ji on the spaceship.

Zhuang Yue also recalled that a few days ago, her father said that Cheng Ping had talked with him on the spaceship. At that time, she thought that his father was joking, or that he missed his old friend too much, so it was a dream.

Now it seems that it is not what I expected. After all, it is impossible for my father to forge a video just to make a silly joke.

The two Cheng Ping were still very easy to distinguish. Although Cheng Ping sitting next to Luo Ji also had gray temples, he was not old.Cheng Ping in the video is obviously old.

The video was not very long, and after it was played, Cheng Ping asked the smart computer to play it again.

He was so shocked just now that he didn't pay much attention to the conversation in the video.

After the second video was played, the light in the room gradually became brighter.

Cheng Ping fell into deep thought. After waiting for more than half a minute, he felt Luo Ji and Zhuang Yue's eyes, and he smiled wryly, "I don't know what's going on."

Zhuang Yue guessed: "Could someone pretend to be you?"

Cheng Ping sighed: "I don't know, but I want to tell you two that I did have the dreams mentioned in the video.

"It started out as vague dreams, but as I got older they became clearer.

"Especially in the last few years, every time I wake up from a sleep for a long time, I feel like that's what I've been through.

"And I didn't tell anyone about it."

Cheng Ping spread his hands: "In my opinion, those are just very real dreams. I always think that the sense of reality is my own illusion, but..."

But according to Li Chengping in the video, things don't seem to be that simple.

Luo Ji pinched his beard and said, "In other words, two Cheng Ping really appeared at the same time?"

Cheng Ping and Zhuang Yue didn't answer, because it was too bizarre.

Also, Cheng Ping in the video asked Luo Ji to hand over a storage device to "the fifth person who shook hands with Luo Ji", and the two recalled the scene when they greeted Luo Ji.

Isn't the fifth person exactly Cheng Ping?
Cheng Ping asked Luo Ji to forward something to him?
What does that sound like?
Zhuang Yue asked Luo Ji, "The storage device that appeared in the video?"

Luo Ji took out the drop-shaped storage device from his pocket: "It's encrypted."

He handed it to Cheng Ping: "Since it's for you, you should be able to open it."

Cheng Ping took the storage device, thought for a while, and put the storage device on the multi-function camera in the room.

The smart computer prompts: "Please enter the password."

Then, under the storage, a nine-square number key was projected.

Cheng Ping entered the password a little unsurely, but it succeeded once.

The smart computer asked again: "Do you want to play the content in the memory?"

Cheng Ping exchanged glances with Luo Ji and Zhuang Yue before saying, "Play!"

The content in the storage is still a video.

The light in the room dimmed again, and then it started to play, and Cheng Ping appeared on the screen, but he looked a little old, it was Cheng Ping in the previous video.

He smiled, "Hello, myself!
"Yes, don't question it, I am you!"

Cheng Ping swallowed unnaturally, did he really have another self?
Luo Ji looked at "Old Cheng Ping" in the picture, and then at Cheng Ping sitting beside him. Things seemed to be more complicated than expected.

"Old Cheng Ping" in the video continued: "I guess Teacher Luo Ji will send this video to you as quickly as possible after seeing the fifth person shaking hands with him.

"Well, recording this video, I hope to give myself a reminder, but I don't know whether I should have this reminder.

"Where should I start? Well, let's start with the strange phenomenon you are studying now.

"I know that after the failure of the probe exploration, you are actively forming an expedition team and preparing to explore it yourself.

"Now I hope to persuade you not to go, because many people will die, and you, or we will also undergo some changes!
"So far, I don't know how this change happened, but my time is upside down!

"To put it more clearly, in my time, today is April 4, and tomorrow will be April 2!"
