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

Chapter 578

Jiang Yu walked quickly from the study to the living room: "How is No. [-] now?"

This year is already the 309th year of the Milky Way, the third year after the war with the Trisolarans ended completely.

At this time, Jiang Yu was already in his 30s, with crow's feet in the corners of his eyes.

About 130 years in the Milky Way, No. [-], as reported by Jiang Yu, felt that he seemed to be starting to age.

After careful brain examination, it was found that the activity of brain cells No. [-] began to decline.

As a failed experiment subject of the Trisolaran, although he gained a long lifespan, he did not gain longevity, but the lifespan of his brain became much longer.

The activity of brain cells began to decline, that is to say, number three began to age.

As for the similar technology that Jiang Yu has used, his lifespan is also limited. Over the past two centuries, Jiang Yu has also found that his body has undergone some "mature" changes.

Since the victory of the war, Number Three's situation has gone from bad to worse, and he has been hovering on the edge of life and death for several days.

In the communication system in the living room, the doctor on the [-]rd said to Jiang Yu: "You know the patient's condition, I guess he won't make it through today."

Jiang Yu nodded, turned his head and walked out. When he reached the door, he returned and changed into a black dress.

It had been many years since he felt so empty in his heart like today.

As soon as I went out, there was a warm celebration outside. Today is Victory Day.

Three years ago today, Belinsky's troops defeated the Trisolarans' raid fleet and achieved a complete victory in the war against the Trisolarans.

The ruling government declared this day as Victory Day, which is celebrated every year.

Now that the war has just ended three years ago, everyone is still immersed in the joy of victory. Individuals who have survived to the present due to various reasons can't help crying when they see this situation.

Humanity has finally defeated this mighty enemy!

At the beginning of the Crisis Era, the Trisolarans were a lingering nightmare for mankind. Now, the once powerful Trisolaran civilization has fled.

It is estimated that for a long time, human beings have been the nightmare of the Trisolarans.

Jiang Yu sighed, seeing the lively scene outside, but it was difficult for him to join in, and he became more sad in comparison.

Soon he came to No. [-]'s residence, and some dignitaries also got the news, and they had already come here first.

After Jiang Yu arrived, everyone paid tribute to the Wallfacer.

Jiang Yu saw Tony Yun with gray hair, Cao Yang and Hao Ying in smart wheelchairs, and Zhuang Yue who needed the help of a robot.

After the victory in the war with the Trisolarans, Jiang Yu discovered that the senior executives of the older generation of the solar system country were rapidly becoming old.

Three years ago, Cao Yang was still supervising Belinsky's siege battlefield. It didn't take long for Cao Yang to stand up.

Looking at Cao Yang's old smiling face, Jiang Yu suddenly recalled Rey Diaz.

He somewhat understood, and with a sigh of relief, Cao Yang and the others supported and defeated the Trisolarans, but after humans won this unprecedented victory, the breath in their hearts suddenly loosened.

Jiang Yu shook hands with Cao Yang and the others, chatted for a few words before going to the third ward.

The four walls of the ward are No. [-]'s favorite earth scenery, bright sunshine, endless grassland, galloping horses in the distance, and shepherds riding horses nearby.

The cabin-style hospital bed of No. [-], and a large oval-shaped instrument suspended in mid-air above the hospital bed, seemed a bit abrupt in such a beautiful scenery.

His appearance remained unchanged. This was made by Jiang Shiliu, the most flexible prosthesis in the entire solar system.

Except for the brain, Number Three's other body structures are prosthetics.

The head of the prosthetic was now open, and Three's brain was nourished in other devices.

However, the bioelectric signal receiver in his brain is always connected to the prosthetic, and the prosthetic can open his eyes as long as he is awake.

And now the eyes of the prosthetic limbs are closed, obviously No. [-] is still in a coma.

Jiang Yu asked the doctor: "Can he wake up again?"

"It's hard to say," said the middle-aged doctor, "His brain has shrunk to a great extent, and it is very likely that he passed away in a coma."

Jiang Yu pointed to the large elliptical instrument: "What is this?"

"This is an instrument sent by Mr. Jiang Shiliu's research team." The middle-aged doctor said: "Mr. No. [-] agreed to cooperate with Jiang Shiliu to conduct an experiment at the moment of death."

Since No. [-] agreed, Jiang Yu didn't intend to ask, he waved to the ground, the ground immediately lifted, and a seat appeared.

Jiang Yu sat down weakly: "It's fine to die in a coma, there's no pain."

He looked at No. [-] and sighed again. He still remembered that when he met No. [-] for the first time, No. [-] was fostered by Jiang Shiliu in an iron box.

Later, No. [-] gradually became Jiang Yu's right-hand man. Every time Jiang Yu hibernates, he trusts everything to No. [-], and No. [-] never disappoints him.

Today, Number Three is very old.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yu's eyes became moist.

Just as he was wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, No. [-] woke up: "It looks like I'm going to die."

Although he is very weak now, as long as his brain gives orders, the prosthesis can still speak normally.

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "Everyone is mortal, so be careful."

"I'm quite open." No. 36 sighed, "I've been dreaming about the earth these days, about my past with Jiang Shiliu and [-].

"Tell me, isn't this a sign of fallen leaves returning to their roots?"

Jiang Yu smiled helplessly: "When people get old, they like to think about things when they were young."

"Yeah, I still remember the first body that Jiang Shiliu made for me. It was actually not easy to use at all, but I never had the nerve to tell him."

The expression on No. [-]'s face was very calm: "It's been too long, I've lived for too long, I've already forgotten that I'm made of flesh and blood.

"When I was on Earth, I just wanted to beat up the Trisolarans, so as to avenge them for using us as test subjects.

"Now the revenge is paid, but my heart is very empty.

"Alright, let's go, anyway, I have no regrets."

Jiang Yu smiled with tears in his eyes: "Wait for me in front, so that we can be companions on Huangquan Road."

Number three also laughed and said: "I won't wait for you, you have at least two centuries to live, I have to wait on Huangquan Road until the end of the world?

"I don't wait, I don't wait..."

After waiting for a few seconds, without waiting for No. [-]'s next words, suddenly the oval instrument suspended in mid-air started to operate, and the soft white light shone on No. [-]'s face, making him feel a little sacred.

Jiang Yu looked at the doctor, who shook his head.

Number three passed away.

Jiang Yu stayed alone for a while before asking the doctor to announce No. [-]'s death, and then called Jiang Yan to send No. [-]'s body to the space burial place as his nephew.

Today's space funerals do not have too many red tapes. After saying goodbye to the remains, they enter the incinerator, and the ashes are put into urns and launched into space, or buried on the planet where humans currently live.

　Thanks to [Yong Yaonan] for the 1500 point reward.

　　Thanks for the 500 points reward from [Shang Zhe Shang Yi].
