Chapter 178 Deterrence Failure
【Zhang Beihai looked at Li Xin's firm eyes in the video, but in the end he didn't call the relevant department and asked them to kill Cheng Xin directly.

After the stocktaking video appeared, everything changed. Humans and Trisolarans really don't have necessary hostile motives, so many things in the future will not happen. Rather than killing Cheng Xin, it is more important to let the system Humanity is not headed for such a twisted future.

In a certain military hospital, Yun Tianming was silently looking at Cheng Xin, who looked like a real Virgin under the composition.

He is licking, but he is not stupid, he understands that Cheng Xin is definitely not suitable to be a sword holder.

This is not only because he understands that Cheng Xin can't bear such a high-pressure life, and he loves her, but also because he thinks he understands Cheng Xin, knows that Cheng Xin is a very kind person, and she must not have the determination to press down and die together when needed. button.

In other words, her deterrence against Trisolarans... can be said to be nonexistent.

If she really becomes the sword bearer, the Trisolarans' counterattack will begin the moment she completes the handover of authority!

This would be the best time, because it was impossible for the Trisolarans to wait endlessly to see if Cheng Xin really didn't have the courage. The Trisolarans would directly bet that Cheng Xin would not have time to broadcast the coordinates.

What the Trisolarans really didn't dare to bet on was whether Cheng Xin would truly have a deterrent power during her long career as a sword wielder!

Therefore, the day Cheng Xin becomes the sword holder may be the day when mankind will perish!
Unless the Trisolarans are really influenced by the people of the earth, they really become peace yearners.

But is it possible?
A civilization that has reincarnated hundreds of times before reaching the current level of technology and discovering that the nearest star is suitable for survival will be influenced in just a few decades? 】

In the video, Cheng Xin solemnly said to the mother of the child in her arms: "I will run for sword bearer!"

Afterwards, the screen flashed continuously, Cheng Xin continued to give speeches in front of the public, participated in various activities, and gained the favor of many people.

In the end, the picture freezes on a screen with voting information.

Cheng Xin was selected as the next sword bearer with a super high number of votes more than twice that of No.2!

When the picture started to flow again, Cheng Xin was already standing in the elevator going down at high speed.

On the screen of the elevator, the depth has broken through five digits, reaching tens of thousands of meters underground.

But it wasn't over yet. After more than 20 minutes, the depth displayed on the screen was fixed at 5000 meters underground!

The 45-kilometer-deep underground is no longer in the category of the crust. It has crossed the Moho discontinuity and belongs to the upper layer of the mantle.

To be able to build elevators to such a deep underground, the future technology of Three-body World has shown the tip of the iceberg from the perspective of materials.

It is not as intuitive as the spaceship, but it allows more professional people from the heavens and myriad worlds to understand that the earthlings in the Trisolaran world have reached a very high level of technology, and the Trisolarans... still seem to be more powerful.

After all, no matter how strong the material is, the water droplet's technology of locking all molecules seems to always be better.

Cheng Xin stepped out of the elevator and stared at the words written on the black door in front of her: Gravitational Wave Cosmic Broadcasting System No. [-] Control Station.

This place is indeed worthy of the number "Zero", after all, it is Luo Ji who saved the earth who is guarding here.

And his successor should and will continue to save the earth, and by the way save the Trisolarans.

A man of unknown gender with the logo of the Planetary Defense Council on his chest said behind Cheng Xin: "If you want, we can make this place as beautiful as the surface of the earth. Flowers, running water, lawns, and even birds. We really love it." I don't want you to suffer like him."

"I'll think about it." Cheng Xin said.

【"Humanity is going to die." In the Marvel world, Nick Fury sighed: "But fortunately, it's not our earth. I've been an agent of such a stupid woman for so many years, and I haven't seen many of them."

"That's because you haven't been out on the job for a long time." Natasha Romanov said: "Many women of the new generation have such qualities, especially in our country. I don't know where the pride comes from. Let them Arrogant no matter what they do, thinking they are infallible. They may be smarter than some people intellectually, but their arrogance makes them, in fact, very stupid."

Clint Barton was very puzzled: "I really can't understand her thinking, let alone the thinking of future human beings. This design like a tomb is indeed psychologically tormenting, but it's not exactly this kind of psychology that makes the sword-wielder Have you always been sober? To be honest, if I were Luo Ji, I would not be willing to protect such a human being. After all, even if I live another 100 years and learn all the technology of Trisolarans, or even surpass them, such a civilization will inevitably destroy itself !”]

The door opened slowly, and Cheng Xin saw Luo Ji sitting cross-legged in front of a curved white wall.

At this time, he is quite different from the first theme inventory. His hair and beard are all white, and his beard is even more unsuitable-because such a beard appears more in costume dramas, but Not on a modern man in a tunic.

"There are still 10 minutes until the handover." The PDC official whispered to Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin nodded and looked respectfully at Luo Ji who was meticulously sticking to the last 10 minutes.

Even though he was very old, Luo Ji's gaze was still sharp. To him, the white wall in front of him was another world four light-years away!
[And such a sharp gaze made the Trisolarans, who have greatly changed their fate in the Trisolaran world, feel fear in unison.

This is a fear that hits the soul more directly than watching Luo Ji forcibly establish a deterrent in front of his own grave in the inventory video!

For Trisolarans, this old earthling is a living demon!
But no Trisolaran would attempt to kill Luo Ji on the Gravity.

No Trisolaran dared to have such an idea.

At least until you learn to cheat, no one dares! 】

"It's time for the handover." The PDC official broke the 10-minute silence.

The official wanted to step forward to help the elderly Luo Ji, but Luo Ji waved away the official's help and stood up by himself.

Instead of supporting it with hands, they directly use the strength of their legs to bounce themselves up. Many young people cannot do this kind of movement.

This also shows that Luo Ji is still full of energy, and it is not a problem to live for many years.

But he just needs to hand over the deterrence in his hand.

No one knows whether Luo Ji, who has stayed here all year round, knows what the human beings on the surface have become.

If he knows that human beings have become very different from his cognition, can he persist for so long?

If he knew what happened, would he be able to tell if it was the trajectory of the Trisolaran?
"Mr. Luo Ji," the official introduced, "this is Cheng Xin, the second master of the highest control authority of the gravitational wave universe broadcasting system, please hand over the broadcasting switch to her."

Luo Ji didn't answer, but continued to look at the white wall that he had stared at for decades, and then bowed deeply.

They are enemies, but enemies are also worthy of respect.

He and Cheng Xin looked at each other for only a brief moment, and then Luo Ji handed the switch shaped like a sword hilt to Cheng Xin, who was trembling slightly. this room.

[All the heavens and all worlds have noticed that the accompanying personnel representing the official, representing these people who were able to survive on Earth because of Luo Ji, did not even say a word of thanks to this great man who has guarded them for many years.

Compared to Luo Ji who respectfully bows even to his opponents in infinite solitude, these sissy society people in the future era have lost even their manners.

Human beings are not grateful to Luo Ji. 】

[Three-Body World, the officials of various countries panicked and made a video call to Luo Ji, fearing that Luo Ji would be too disappointed with future humans, and that such disappointment would be transferred to present humans.

Whether it is Gravity's suicide broadcast coordinates, or orbital bombing with a high-tech weapon system that the earth cannot make for the time being, it is a very bad situation for them.

Some people were comforting Luo Ji, while others were comforting Zhang Beihai.

These two are ruthless people, and both have the ability to plunge the earth into despair of destruction, but they can't afford to offend them!
Especially Zhang Beihai, if it was someone else, he could also use complicated operations to make the Death Star launch the Star Destroyer Cannon.

But Zhang Beihai only needs one thought, and the Death Star can turn around, turning the earth into dust in the universe, an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Venus.

Their worries are unnecessary. Both of them are wise men, and they will not do such irrational things because of such things.

After saying good things, many politicians, sweating coldly, quickly stamped the documents.

We must prevent such a distorted society from coming, and human beings must not lose their morality!
As long as Luo Ji and Zhang Beihai are not dead, they cannot lose their morality!
On the other side, Cheng Xin stared at the switch in the video and handed it to her future self.

That's what decides the fate of both worlds...

After knowing that she was the crumb of the heavens, and after watching so many contents of the video from the perspective of a bystander, Cheng Xin understood that she was the chief culprit who destroyed the future mankind.

He clearly has no deterrent power, but he campaigned beyond his control, and with a huge advantage, he won the highest number of votes in such a distorted society.

All of this may be the conspiracy of the Trisolarans.

Whether it's social distortions or her decision to run for the sword-bearer, the Trisolarans are not directly involved, but so many coincidences, don't they mean that the Trisolarans are manipulating everything behind the scenes?

Or... I commit suicide?
I'm guilty...I need to atone with my life...

My life will be a great threat to mankind...

However, the suicide proposed by Cheng Xin and the bodyguard was not accepted.

He and his professional bodyguards couldn't hold back in the end, and looked at Cheng Xin and yelled: "Idiot! You don't want to atone for your crime! You want to escape! Your atonement is to live! Live in a lifetime of reviling and self-blame!"]

In the video, after Luo Ji walked out of the gate, a few fake women in black who were waiting outside shook their slender arms and came to Luo Ji's side: "Mr. Luo Ji, you are accused of committing the crime of destroying the world." Extreme crime, on behalf of the International Court of Justice and all mankind, I file a lawsuit against you, please come with us."

The gate hadn't been closed yet, and Cheng Xin heard the words of her companions. She looked at Luo Ji's back and wanted to say something, but after opening her lips slightly, she suppressed such thoughts.

Following Luo Ji's example, Cheng Xin sat cross-legged in front of the white wall, her eyes full of sorrow.

If there was a second person in this room, it would be obvious at a glance that Cheng Xin's sadness was because she had just discovered that it seemed difficult for her to accept such a life.

She doesn't like being alone like this.

As it happens, there are microscopic sophons in the room.

So, not long after Cheng Xin sat down, the high-speed elevator that Luo Ji took probably just arrived at the Moho Discontinuity, when a red light lit up in the room.

The white wall that Luo Ji had been staring at turned red, with white and terrifying characters written on it: Strong Interaction Force Cosmic Probe Discovered!There are six in total, one of which flies to the Lagrangian point between the earth and the sun, and the other five are divided into three formations of one, two and two, rushing towards the earth at a speed of 25000 km/s, and are expected to reach the ground in 10 minutes !
Cheng Xin stared blankly at the writing on the white wall.

why?
Why break the peace?

Cheng Xin stayed here, but the water droplets didn't stop.

At this time, not many people know where the water droplets are hiding, and not many people even know that the water droplets are constantly accelerating towards the earth!
The white text on the red wall is beating again: The three formations of strong interaction space probes have an average distance of 1400 million kilometers from the earth, and the closest one is 1350 million kilometers, reaching the ground in 9 minutes!
Cheng Xin collapsed on the ground, her eyes filled with panic, "What to do... what to do..."

But no one told her that she should immediately press the button and immediately broadcast the coordinates.

Or, even if someone told her she should, she would say no.

The words on the red wall are constantly beating, and Trisolaran's water drop detector is constantly approaching, even if it is a distance of millions of kilometers, but on the interstellar scale, this is only close at hand!
There was a flash of white light on the video screen, and then the images in Cheng Xin's mind were displayed: single-celled organisms in ancient times, dinosaurs, ape-man, slaves who built pyramids, the fusiliers, atomic bomb tests, tall buildings, feasting, babies, family ...

All the beauty and history kept flashing in Cheng Xin's mind, and all of them were destroyed by the water droplets falling from the sky.

Mount Everest is like cream, the ocean caused a tsunami in the Taotan due to the earthquake, crying everywhere, and the tree-shaped building collapsed like a real tree...

Cheng Xin was about to press the switch, but she thought of another planet, a civilization that experienced countless cycles of three suns...

"It's gone...all gone..." Cheng Xin tremblingly looked at the switch in her hand, muttered, and then threw the switch away as if throwing something hot.

"No!" Cheng Xin didn't look at the words on the red wall in fear, indicating that the water droplets were approaching, but wrote all her fears on the switch.
