Chapter 139 Red Coast First Base



Chapter 139 Red Coast First Base

"Tsk, it seems that everything is still under my control."

Lin Xuan flew through the air on a disc made of nanobots, while constantly reviewing the memories in his mind.

The memory fragments stored in the data of the Super Dream are up to the time before the database was destroyed, so he can know everything that happened during the period after Lin Xuan went into hibernation through the memories of all mankind.

However, if the third-stage Mewtwo database only has this limited functionality, then Lin Xuan has no reason to take the risk of hibernation.

"let me see……"

Lin Xuan searched through her memory for a moment and quickly located the positions of the five water droplets on Earth.

At this moment, all of humanity is Lin Xuan's eyes, and everything they see, hear, think, and feel will pass through Lin Xuan's brain.

This is the true meaning of the transit station: intercepting the thoughts of all mankind and proactively adjusting the level of information cognition of all those connected.

Its most powerful function is that Lin Xuan can actively edit the consciousness and thoughts of all mankind.

Note that this is not possession, not possession by force, but editing.

For example, A is a murderer, and B is a completely good person.

Lin Xuan can directly and completely copy B's thought patterns to A, imprinting them with something akin to a mental stamp.

But like the imprint of thought, this imprint can be diluted by external factors over time, and may even give rise to a completely different new way of thinking.

For example, A is a murderer because he lives in an area full of murderers, and he cannot survive if he doesn't become more ruthless.

Even if I were to copy B's mindset onto him, in this treacherous world, he might still turn into a villain, perhaps even a hundred times more wicked than before.

After all, he at least knew before that he was a bad person and that murder would cost him his life.

But now, he thinks he's a good person and that everything he's done is right, and that's the most terrifying thing.

This is also why Lin Xuan has never dared to copy Wade's consciousness to Cheng Xin.

To be honest, when the consciousness extraction device was first created, Lin Xuan really wanted to do such an experiment to see what would happen.

Back then, my Mewtwo database could only replace consciousness, not replicate and merge consciousness like it does now.

Looking back now, if we had actually done that, it would likely have created an extreme situation.

A madman with an insatiable maternal instinct!

If things go wrong, the Cheng Xin created in that way might not just be a candidate for Swordholder; she might even resort to any means necessary to become Swordholder, such as assassinating Luo Ji.

Moreover, Cheng Xin cannot die, because she is a microcosm of humanity. Even if I get rid of Cheng Xin, there will be another Cheng Xin, so it's better to keep her alive.

It's better to guide than to block. Rather than getting rid of her now and letting the next Cheng Xin hide in the crowd like a time bomb, it's better to control this human saint. This was Lin Xuan's initial idea.

"what?"

Just as Lin Xuan was flying, she suddenly sensed something flying towards her from a distance. Without even guessing, it was most likely a droplet from the Trisolarans.

The water droplet was extremely fast, shooting towards Lin Xuan like a bullet, but in the end, it stopped less than a meter away from Lin Xuan.

It wasn't that it wanted to stop, but something blocked its way between itself and Lin Xuan, pinning it firmly in mid-air.

Nanorobots!

Countless nanobots formed a shield the instant the water droplet hurtled towards Lin Xuan, blocking its path!

The water droplet, which is usually indestructible, was defeated by these nanobots.

After realizing it could not break through the opponent's shield, it tried to turn and leave.

"A detector, and you come here to test me? You really don't take me seriously, do you?"

Lin Xuan sneered and pointed her finger in mid-air. The nanobots that had been forming a shield quickly enveloped the water droplet and began to dismember it.

The surface of the water droplet is absolutely smooth, and each atom is held in place by strong forces like a ceremonial guard. With the current level of human technology, there is absolutely no possibility of breaking through its defenses.

However, it is not without a solution. The power of the water droplet does not come from the hardness of its material, but from a special force field that is constantly released inside it. Once this internal device is destroyed, the water droplet is nothing more than ordinary metal.

Just like how the droplet was destroyed after entering the fourth dimension in the original work, as long as the force field device inside it is dealt with, this thing will lose all its threat.

It's easier said than done; at least with current human technology, we can't perform this kind of indirect attack.

Under Lin Xuan's control, the nanobots enveloping the water droplet began to heat up rapidly and continuously release high pressure onto the droplet, accelerating its basic particles to near the speed of light.

It's as if Lin Xuan set up hundreds of millions of particle accelerators around the water droplet; each nanorobot is a particle accelerator.

Soon, the strong interaction force continuously released by the water droplet showed a weakness, and the nanorobot seized the opportunity to quickly release an EMP electromagnetic pulse into the interior of the water droplet.

Instantly, the force field module used by the water droplet to release strong interaction forces was directly paralyzed. Without the protection of strong interaction forces, the outer metal shell of the water droplet vaporized instantly under the high temperature of the nanorobot and dissipated into the air.

Previously, the water droplet reflected electromagnetic waves across almost the entire frequency range, but destroying its internal modules required electromagnetic wave weapons. This is what makes the water droplet truly unsolvable.

The only weapon capable of slaying a god can only be obtained by defeating a god, which explains why the droplet could only be destroyed in the four dimensions in the original story.

In any case, the Trisolarans are still just a level-two civilization with a skewed technological path, and the things they can produce are inherently limited. Moreover, the droplet is just one of their detectors, so solving the problem is not as difficult as one might imagine.

The real challenge lies with the sophon; it may require Wang Miao to upgrade the nanobots into proton robots before it can be destroyed beyond two dimensions.

After seeing Lin Xuan easily destroy the water droplets, the Trisolarans immediately stopped the four water droplets that were attacking Lin Xuan.

Tomoko began to project words into Lin Xuan's eyes.

"Observer, are you going to interfere in our war with humanity?"

"Whether I get involved or not is none of your business," Lin Xuan retorted.

"You dared to destroy everything I built while I was in hibernation? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to fight you?"

The Trisolarans fell into a long silence.

They admitted that they had indeed gotten a bit cocky lately, daring to provoke even Lin Xuan. In the past, the usually cautious Trisolarans would never have taken such a risk.

However, Lin Xuan's repeated assistance to humanity has made the Trisolarans somewhat anxious. Once they lose Earth as a habitable planet, it will be extremely difficult to find another suitable habitable planet.

Therefore, this attack on Lin Xuan was a risky gamble. They also wanted to see how much of the observer's true strength remained, since, based on Lin Xuan's previous performance, the possibility of bluffing could not be ruled out.

The Trisolarans were right; Lin Xuan did indeed have a power vacuum period of several years, which was during the time he was in hibernation.

He had almost no trump cards left, and he even cleared out the system's inventory, leaving him with less than 15 points of shock value.

At that time, if the Trisolarans had simply trained an ordinary person to assassinate Lin Xuan while she was in hibernation, they could have succeeded immediately.

But Lin Xuan was betting that they wouldn't dare.

In retrospect, it's all thanks to the observer identity that the Trisolarans arranged for her; to this day, Lin Xuan doesn't even know what this identity is for.

But the Trisolarans were terrified of it, so much so that they only dared to make small, clandestine moves after they went into hibernation.

As expected, Sophon quickly provided the Trisolarans' response.

“Mr. Lin Xuan, many of the things you built have already been used by humans on Earth to fight against us. This is not in line with your behavior as an observer. We were also worried that if you violated the experimental guidelines, we would destroy these things for you in advance.”

"If needed, we will rebuild everything that was destroyed for you after we conquer the Earth."

Lin Xuan was delighted upon hearing this.

"This is interesting. You have the guts to do it, but not the guts to admit it. It seems that the Trisolarans have also begun to develop the ability to lie, but their methods of deception are really not very good."

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, she received a wave of shock from the Trisolaran governors.

The Trisolaran governors were somewhat bewildered. This lie was something they, the twelve governors, had thought about for a long time before coming up with, and they had even gone to Yun Tianming to polish it several times.

Lin Xuan saw through it at a glance.

Just as Yun Tianming said, learning the ability to deceive is not something that can be done overnight. The Trisolarans still have a long way to go before they can truly become as adept at deception as Earthlings.

"It doesn't matter, I'm too lazy to pursue it. Since humanity on Earth has been defeated, shouldn't we discuss the colony negotiations?"

"Yes, we have been waiting for you. We have approached several Earth representatives before, but they were either too tough to surrender or they could not convince all of humanity. After much thought, it seems that only you, as the representative of humanity, can complete the negotiations."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"Okay, you guys decide on the location."

"The negotiation will take place in the Greater Khingan Mountains of Inner Mongolia. You should know where that is."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"In the original story, the location of the Red Coast First Base is also the place where Ye Wenjie first sent a message to the Trisolarans. It seems that the Trisolarans chose this location for the negotiation as a place with a deeper meaning."
