Chapter 58
In a small oasis outside the city of Kyoto, Luo Ji sat alone at the source of a man-made stream, thinking.

It's so strange, it's really too strange, it is obvious that it can form a deterrent to Trisolarans now, why wait 120 years?
The Qunxing faction does not have the ability to broadcast at the star level for the time being. One is that there is no sun, and the other is that there is no radar equipment.

"Before the Stars faction establishes a deterrent, they may be caught up and destroyed, and then the Blue Star humans will be finished..."

"The safest way should be to establish a deterrent system in this galaxy. The Trisolaran probe has not come yet, and there is still a chance."

Luo Ji sincerely believes that it is pure nonsense to let the wandering fleet establish a deterrent, and the distance of light years is too far away.

When you reach your destination, it will be 100 years later. The NH558J2 star system is not suitable for human habitation, so the fleet will leave sooner or later. If you just leave, the Trisolarans will kill the Blue Star humans. What? manage?
It will take 100 years for the Stars to know, or even never know about it, so why should they deter Trisolarans?You have no communication equipment beyond the light cone.

"No, yes, it was just destroyed by sophons. You plan to create a quantum communication system in the future and send it back to the coalition government? This will indeed effectively maintain the deterrence of the dark forest..."

"Or, they didn't even think about reaching a deterrent peace with the Trisolaran civilization, but directly broadcast..."

The bracelet suddenly lights up, and someone is calling.

Luo Ji didn't think anymore. The young man's thoughts were hidden too deep to see through. He tapped his wristband to answer the phone.

"Brother Luo, where do you put it?"

"I heard that you have come to the surface, come to my house to have a meal, let some old things from the old times have a drink and get together."

It was Shi Qiang, because he was not a Wallfacer, he woke up earlier.

"Big History?" Luo Ji was a little surprised.

For more than half a month after waking up, he was busy going to Europe to pick up his wife and children, buying real estate and so on, and the trouble of following Si Ming by his side, so he didn't have time to contact old friends who might exist.

"How did you know my phone number?"

Although the concept of privacy in this era is weak, it is not so weak that you can know other people's contact information casually.

Shi Qiang pondered for a moment, and said, "You seem to be very famous. When I was working, I heard the children doing research talking about you. I said I knew you, and they gave me your contact information."

"I feel like I'm being used..."

The corner of Luo Ji's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

"There's no danger, is it?"

Shi Qiang: "Probably not. Next to my house is an important biogenetic engineering research institute of the coalition government. The security force is very strong. Brother Luo, you don't think that someone wants to kill you, do you? Now there are only two cats and cats left in ETO." There are three."

"Okay, send me the map. I'll go there later and prepare a meal for one more person. Yanyan will be with me."

A hearty voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'm going to get some fruit wine, what does your child like to eat? I'm going to have some too."

"Yanyan is still young, just prepare some fruit, it doesn't need to cost too much."

Luo Ji feels that Shi Qiang is not the kind of person who can calm down and study hard. He should not have a high degree of education and not many enjoyable resources.

Shi Qiang smiled and said, "The ground is different from the underground. The people on the ground pay more for more work."

"I'll prepare a sky-high lunch for you, come quickly."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone hung up.

After a while, a group of four walked to the factory not far away. Behind the factory was the residential area of ​​the people on the ground.

Entering the urban area, Zhuang Yan saw the rice in the building, and she asked Siming: "Is this the ecology of the small oasis during the Great Depression?"

Si Ming nodded and said: "After the groundwater circulation system covered Kyoto, the residents on the ground used these solid abandoned buildings to rebuild the ecology of the small oasis during the Great Depression, planted a lot of food, and raised a lot of aquatic products. .”

Looking around, there are countless high-rise buildings in the city covered by yellow sand: "Isn't there something to grow in all of them?"

"Well, most of them."

Luo Ji recalled the reunion dinner he had emptied his wallet not long ago, "Why is it so expensive when it's shipped underground?"

"Obviously only two to 3000 meters."

Si Ming explained: "Because the greenery project and the artificial water cycle project need to use a lot of productivity, and the credit for enjoying sexual welfare is actually the right of citizens to use productivity."

"On the condition of providing seeds, the Academy of Sciences buys vegetables and fruits grown by the above-ground people at a low price and sells them to the underground people at a high price."

"However, the reason why underground fruits and vegetables are too expensive to afford is mainly because adults have low spending power. The Academy of Sciences processes vegetables and fruits into sugar and nutrient solutions and sells them to us children."

"If you pay attention, you will find that what 'modern children' eat, the selling price of synthetic products and the selling price of pre-processed products, the latter is thousands of times the former."

"A lot of adults have less money and more things. How can we children be so easy to coax, labeling it as natural, and the money comes rushing."

Si Ming smiled: "We actually came up with this bad idea. The degree of modern children is generally higher than that of the older generation. A doctor's degree can get 16 credits per month. I now have [-] doctorates. Every month There is [-] pocket money."

"The credit issued in the current month will be cleared in the next month, and it is useless to save it, so we will be generous and let you ask for the price."

"After all, if you don't spend it, you will suffer."

"The productivity represented by the total amount of credit issued every month actually far exceeds the total productivity of human civilization."

"So how to recover huge amounts of credit with low-productivity products has become an art in modern economics. The best artist in this art is Suguang Entertainment, a rare and not unique virtual item that can recover a lot of money in three days. Ten billion credits."

Luo Ji couldn't afford to complain about this economic system built on the basis of extremely affluent productivity, "We have become victims of economic art, and we can only eat synthetic meat and synthetic starch every day..."

Zhuang Yan said softly: "Honey, this is definitely a thousand times happier than when I was in the trough, at least I have something to eat."

"We can also move to live on the ground and exchange our labor for fresh vegetables and fruits..."

An old man passing by said: "My friend, I really want to move here. The community welcomes you. You don't have to worry about your children's education. We also have virtual devices here, so you can log into the world of the Academy of Sciences."

Lower and middle schools have long since disappeared.

The old man was carrying a hoe and dragging a cart full of saplings. It seemed that he was going to plant them. Luo Ji couldn't help asking:

"Master, human beings may be about to perish, aren't you worried or worried at all?"

The old man smiled: "The children are not worried, what am I worried about?"

"Besides, human beings have long since put down the heavy responsibility of continuing civilization, focusing on enjoying the present life, and perishing is perishing."

"Young man, I am also an ancient person. When I first arrived in this era, I was not used to such a mental state."

"But you see, I'm enjoying the day a lot now, and I can do what I want."

"I used to aspire to be a person like the county magistrate of Jiao, and now I am, controlling sand, salinity, and planting trees. I have even studied the advanced knowledge required for these fields."

"This is a very good era. Everyone has many, many choices. Look, aren't those children who want to leave Blue Star ready to leave? When all this really happened, everyone seemed to have no emotions, scolded After a few sentences, I can see it."

"Young man, relax and enjoy this era, even if it won't last long."

"In this beautiful era, if you die without realizing it at all, it would be too sad."

Watching the old man walk away, Luo Ji smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect the old man to see it more thoroughly than me..."

Zhuang Yan said comfortingly: "My dear, you have carried too many things, now it's time to let go."

Looking at his wife and daughter, Luo Ji shook his head resolutely.

"Miss Si Ming, can you tell me what exactly you want to do?"

Si Ming smiled, but did not answer.

Half an hour later, a group of four people came to the community where Shi Qiang lived, and Shi Qiang, who was notified, also ran out to pick them up.

At this time, Si Ming said: "I'll leave for a while, and I have to teach the children who brought you here."

"Don't worry about safety."

As she said that, she walked to another path, aiming at the Institute of Biogenetic Engineering.

"Haha, long time no see!"

Shi Qiang ran over and looked at Si Ming, "Who is he?"

"Si Ming, I don't know much about the others."

"Using Si as the surname..."

Da Shi led the way, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "Brother Luo, it seems that you haven't gotten rid of your responsibilities..."

Luo Ji was puzzled: "What do you mean by that?"

"I heard from those children that their organization, to be precise, is the high-level left-behind faction. It seems that they all use the code name of Si, just like the gods and gods in myths and legends, who are in charge of a certain authority."

"Like the person in charge of the nearby research institute, his code name seems to be Si Chan, Zen and Cicada, and Cicada means transformation, which just fits his job."

This made the couple exclaim: "Ah? How did you know such a confidential matter?"

Shi Qiang pointed to the TV on the wall in the corridor, and said: "After Lin Yuan of the Space Force revealed his identity, they no longer hide themselves, just like a political force, officially on the world stage."

"I heard from them that the Stars faction has taken away most of the organization's strength. There are hundreds of thousands of top elites. The left-behind faction is short of people. In addition, there is no need to hide anymore. They are ready to find people on a large scale."

In the entire organization, there are only 10,000+ people who have contacts and subordinates.

But there are hundreds of millions of potential members and supporters of the organization.
