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

Chapter 69 The Twilight of Humanity

Seeing the video of Jiang Yu arguing with other people, Yang Dong sighed: "What's the use of arguing about it? We're hopeless."

Shi Qiang took back the phone: "As long as there are people like Jiang Yu around, we still have hope."

Yang Dong was taken aback for a moment, and then glanced at Jiang Yu again, but in the end, he gradually cast his gaze out of the car window.

After more than two hours' drive, Shi Qiang brought the three senior scholars to a wheat field.

Several people first discussed the situation of the locust plague.

Then Shi Qiang asked them: "I would like to ask the three of you to think about a question: Is there a big gap between the technical level of the earth people and the Trisolarans? Or is there a big gap between the technical level of locusts and us."

Yang Dong and the other three looked at the locusts in a daze, as if a ladle of cold water had suddenly been poured over their heads.

Although Jiang Yu has a deep memory of this episode, only when he is in it can he feel the shock brought by Shi Qiang's question.

He smiled and said to Shi Qiang: "It's really you!"

Shi Qiang smiled heartily: "I've said it before, sometimes you smart people think about things, and it's easy to get into a corner."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Yes, I just wanted to understand why I always feel lost these two days."

Shi Qiang smoked a cigar, pretending to listen.

Jiang Yu said: "I didn't put forward a clear point of view, and I blindly opposed those proposals that seemed ridiculous, and as a result they were confused, and I was also confused.

"It can't be like this in the future. I want to put forward a point of view to deal with the current chaos. At the same time, I have to fight against a group of people and pay attention to the way of struggle.

Shi Qiang squinted his eyes at Jiang Yu and said, "Brother, you are somewhat against the sky. Yesterday even Chief Chang said that your mind is messed up. How come I heard that you have sorted it out."

Jiang Yu smiled and didn't say anything. He himself knew the direction of the future. If he still looked like a headless fly, then his mind was really flooded.

It's just that he didn't expect that the three-body star would hit everyone so hard, and even Chang Weisi would be shaken many times.

Another person who is not confused is Shi Qiang. Jiang Yu and Shi Qiang talked about it when they went out to drink together to relieve boredom.

Shi Qiang said that his idea is very simple, he is just a worker, he will do what the chief says, and don't worry about what he shouldn't worry about.

Jiang Yu described Shi Qiang as wise and stupid!

Beside the wheat field, Wang Miao held Shi Qiang's hand: "Thank you, Da Shi."

Ding Yi held Shi Qiang's other hand: "Thank you too."

Yang Dong said: "Let's go back quickly, there is a lot of work to do."

On the way back, the car was very lively. Ding Yi planned to go to space to study the high-energy particles in cosmic rays, to see if he could bypass sophons and continue to conduct experiments and observations at the particle level.

Wang Miao intends to optimize the production process of nanomaterials. In the future space, a large amount of nanomaterials will be needed.

Yang Dong decided to stop the current research on the superstring model and turn to theoretical research at the atomic level to see if he could extract more from classical physics and quantum mechanics.

Jiang Yu said to Yang Dong: "Before work, take a few days to spend with Teacher Ye."

Yang Dong was taken aback: "Can she go home?"

"That's not true," Jiang Yu said, "I submitted the report two days ago, hoping to meet Teacher Ye's request to go to Radar Peak. I guess it will be approved in a few days."

Chang Weisi had already revealed to Jiang Yu that the superior had agreed to Ye Wenjie's request, but the written document had not yet been issued.

Yang Dong nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

……

Two days later, a convoy of two police cars took the expressway from Beijing and headed straight for the northeastern part of Inner Mongolia.

Yang Dong and Ye Wenjie were sitting in the back seat of the police car. On Ye Wenjie's side was a female police officer, and the co-driver was an armed policeman with real guns and ammunition.

Jiang Yu sat in the car in front and chatted with Zhang Xiang, who was in charge of this mission.

Zhang Xiang is the police officer I met at the gate of the detention center before. He is in his 20s and looks full of vigor.

He is an "apprentice" brought out by Shi Qiang. Now that Shi Qiang has been promoted, he has been transferred to the combat center, and he is very popular with Shi Qiang.

When we came to Radar Peak, because a section of the road had already suffered a serious landslide, everyone had to abandon their cars and climb.

Jiang Yu chatted with Ye Wenjie for a few words, and found that the old lady's physical condition was already very poor.

But the old lady still insisted on walking by herself without everyone's help.

When she reached the top of the mountain, Ye Wenjie checked the monument and saw the sun setting again. She finally lost her strength and fell backwards.

Jiang Yu and Yang Dong, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly supported Ye Wenjie and let her sit slowly on the grass.

Ye Wenjie stared at the blood-red sun in the sky like a demon, and said, "This is the sunset of mankind..."

Jiang Yu said: "Mr. Ye, after a long period of darkness, you will always see the sunrise."

Ye Wenjie's breath became weaker and weaker: "Can't darkness swallow humans?"

"In the beginning, people were afraid of the dark, but when people knew how to use fire, the darkness was dispelled." Jiang Yu and Ye Wenjie were fighting.

Ye Wenjie murmured: "Fire, fire!"

Jiang Yu continued: "Some people will soon understand that in this dark age, only the spirit is the fire and the body is the firewood to illuminate the future.

"They will be the new kindling of mankind."

The mountain fell into silence, only the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

A few minutes later, Ye Wenjie said weakly: "I still can't see hope. Xiaoyu, I hope you will not be stingy to burn yourself and light the way forward for mankind."

Jiang Yu said firmly: "I will."

Ye Wenjie said with difficulty: "You are right, we can never hope that other civilizations will help us sincerely.

"Look what I've done? I've left you such a big mess."

Jiang Yu said: "Mr. Ye, do you still remember the disintegration of the Soviet Union we talked about before?
"For the socialist camp, it was a colossal disaster.

"Very few people saw opportunity in this disaster.

"Most of those very few people are domestic elites. Sure enough, we took this opportunity to further step into the world system built by the West and obtain more development opportunities."

Seeing that Ye Wenjie was listening attentively, he continued: "Behind every disaster there is an opportunity, it depends on whether we can seize it.

"In my opinion, the appearance of the trisolarans can temporarily unite the power of the world in some respects and march into space.

"Throw human beings in their comfortable cradles into space.

"Otherwise, it's only by ourselves. We don't know that the Year of the Monkey will take this step."

Ye Wenjie took a deep breath, and held Jiang Yu's hand with difficulty: "Xiaoyu, the future of mankind is in your hands."

After speaking, Ye Wenjie's hand gradually slipped, and she died like this under the sunset of Radar Peak.

Her husband is buried here, Commissar Lei, who drained her last trace of trust in mankind, is buried here, and all her hopes for mankind are buried here.
