Fooling Tomoko into being a system

Everyone felt their eyes darken, and the huge shadow of the dark forest covered the entire earth.

The coalition government officials finally reacted and immediately ordered their men to leave the online meeting and retrieve all the data from the solar system warning system in the past three months.

If what Luo Ji said was true, no abnormal movement in the Trisolaran World was found in the retrieved data. On the contrary, it proved that Thomas Vader held a sword to threaten the Trisolaran World for 3 months!

Some people also thought that since Luo Ji handed over the sword to Thomas Vader, why did he propose a unnecessary voting plan?

Reporters and the public in front of the Internet saw that coalition government officials did not criticize Luo Ji harshly, but instead stood aside in silence. What were they waiting for? Many smart people tried to ask, and the results were quickly obtained.

Time passed and a buzzing discussion began.

Until several coalition government officials came back online, they had the last three months of solar system warning system data in their hands, and everyone was waiting for the coalition government to release the data.

The coalition government official took a look at the data and said, "In the nearly three months since Thomas Vader took over the 'Sword', the solar system's warning system has not detected any abnormal behavior of the Trisolaran civilization. His deterrent power is unparalleled and has served the entire human race Civilization brings precious peace.”

There was no applause or cheers, including everyone in front of the Internet, who had disbelief in their eyes.

Everyone slowly turned their heads and focused their attention on Thomas Wade.

Someone asked, "Since he handed the sword to Thomas Vader three months ago, why did Luo Ji come up with this false voting plan? Isn't this a lie?"

Thomas Wade stood up and walked to the stage to face the crowd, to withstand the pressure for Luo Ji. His gloomy eyes passed over the people, like the cold wind of the Arctic, icy to the bone.

The buzzing in the online meeting stopped, and Thomas Wade nodded with satisfaction.

"I explained to Luo Ji once, and it was the only time I explained.

It is to alleviate the irreconcilable contradiction between the humanistic society and the sword holder. We all know that the contradiction can only be delayed and inevitable. Either there is no humanistic society or there is no sword holder.

Under the threat of Trisolaran civilization, the choice of sword holder is the most suitable for the current society.

Do you want to rely on the coalition majority to hold the sword?

Don't forget to pay the painful price of the entire combined fleet of 2000 spaceships. There is no deterrence in groups holding swords.

Or do you want to rely on artificial intelligence to hold the sword? The current artificial intelligence in human civilization cannot handle complex situations and is far less reliable than humans. When the technology of human civilization is weaker than that of Trisolaris, choose artificial intelligence?

I don't think this is a rational choice. "

Thomas Vader's biggest trump card is that he has successfully intimidated Trisolaris for three months, and he speaks naturally and forcefully.

If Luo Ji's rights come from the respect and fear of the Trisolaran civilization, then Thomas Wade's rights come from the two civilizations' understanding of him.

“One more thing, me! Thomas Vader!

Now I want to use the sword bearer's rights to order the sword bearer successors whose intimidation level exceeds 80 in the third vote to be forced into hibernation from now on, waiting for me to wake up when I step down as sword bearer. I will choose the third sword bearer from among them. The sword bearer! "

Thomas Wade had a rough idea that one of the functions of the voting plan was to collect the successors of outstanding sword holders.

Thomas Vader has already consulted scientific experts in various fields. With the current technological level of human civilization, it will take at least 1000 years to reach the same level as the Trisolaran civilization. This is a time that makes Thomas Vader feel desperate.

According to the best case scenario, regardless of social factors and other issues, each sword holder will hold the sword for 100 years, at least 10 sword holders and 10 sword handing ceremonies will be required. The risks involved are too great to measure.

Later, scientific experts told Thomas Vader that this was based on human civilization before the acquisition of Trisolaris technology. They ignored a few small details, and the actual situation may be worse.

Thomas Vader almost pulled out a gun and killed him. Fortunately, his identity as a scientific expert saved his life. Thomas Vader suppressed his anger.

In order to accelerate the development of earth's technology, Thomas Vader will never kill any useful scientists, and he will love them more than anyone else.

Thomas Wade patiently asked the experts, how long will it take for human civilization to catch up with Trisolaran civilization?

The answers given by scientific experts still cannot satisfy Thomas Wade.

If a human civilization with Trisolaran technology is used for simulation, it would be conservatively estimated to take 500 years!

Thomas Vader kept whispering 500 years, 500 years. Even though it was shortened by half, it was still not a number he could accept.

The longer the time goes and the more times the sword holder is handed over, the more dangerous it becomes, not to mention that the problem between the public and the sword holder has never been resolved.

He can only guarantee that human civilization under his management will accelerate the development of science and technology. At most, he can guarantee that his next sword holder will probably escape his control in the fourth sword holder.

The successor of the sword bearer selected by voting may be awakened by the public during the third sword bearer period. The reasons are things like humanities and civil rights, which he has already expected.

Maybe we need to secretly find the successor of the sword holder and hibernate him to prevent unexpected situations. Thomas Vader has initially made a backup plan for the successor.

The job of sword bearer cannot go into hibernation, but Thomas Vader can step down early, just like Luo Ji. Then he can hibernate until the next sword bearer handover time and continue to secretly guide human civilization.

But there is also a problem. The conflict between the public and the sword holder may become extreme in a democratic social environment. The further back in time, the weaker the power he holds.

Just when Thomas Vader was thinking about how to extend his dominance as a sword bearer.

The scientific expert said one more thing. I almost forgot to add a variable. The Trisolaran sophons comprehensively monitor the cutting-edge technology of earth civilization.

If the sophon factor is added to the model, as human civilization and science and technology develop, Trisolaris will develop simultaneously, and Trisolaris will absorb the explosion of science and technology from human civilization...

From this perspective, it will take a terrifyingly long time for human civilization to catch up with Trisolaris!

The scientific expert suddenly became extremely frustrated, shook his head and sighed: "We and the Trisolaris are like Achilles and Zeno the tortoise. From a certain perspective, we will never be able to catch up with the Trisolaran world."

When the scientist finished saying this, Thomas Vader clenched his fists. He almost took out a gun and shot him. There would have been a worse outcome than this.

After thinking deeply, Thomas Vader believed that what the experts said was very reasonable. As long as the sophons kept monitoring human civilization, the gap between the two sides would not be widened.
