Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 131 They're all friendly forces

The command ship escaped!

This was something that left the three fleets and all the humans on Earth watching the live broadcast completely baffled.

Some people even stood there with their mouths open, stunned for a long time without saying a word.

"what's the situation?"

"I don't know, it seems... it seems that Fleet International's command ship suddenly defected."

"Oh...huh? What the hell? What has defected?"

"The command ship, the Navigator, is where Chang Weisi of the Asian Fleet absconded with the entire Fleet International command."

Fleet International was completely dumbfounded.

The world was completely dumbfounded.

Even the Trisolarans, who were using sophons to monitor the battlefield, were taken aback.

Military Governor: "What's going on?"

Education and Culture Commissioner: "I don't know."

Science Officer: "I don't know."

Agricultural Commissioner: "I don't know."

Yun Tianming also saw the images sent back by Zhizi, and he fell silent for a moment.

"This... how come it's exactly the same as the game I created?"

Yun Tianming was somewhat shocked as he watched the fleet of international ships dwindle in number.

He still remembers the first version of Star Wars: Dark War, which he made for Lin Xuan.

However, that game was rejected by the PDC and became a scrap of paper.

Not many people have played the first version of "Dark Warfare," and only a handful know its contents; they are either dead or currently on the run.

But the images that Zhizi is sending back now are exactly the same as the scenes in the game.

The three fleets began to flee en masse, as if whoever was left behind would self-destruct on the spot.

"Could it be that Lin Xuan foresaw this day two hundred years ago?" Yun Tianming was somewhat shocked.

"No...no, perhaps Lin Xuan orchestrated all of this behind the scenes!"

Yun Tianming tried to guess whether the current situation was related to Lin Xuan, but after thinking for a while, he gave up.

There was no way around it; the time span was simply too vast, nearly two hundred years. Even if Lin Xuan had some kind of scheme, she would have definitely done more than one thing at a time. Trying to trace it back was practically impossible.

"What do we do now?" the military governor asked.

"do not know."

"do not know."

"do not know."

……

Inside the meeting room, a group of Trisolaran governors looked at each other in bewilderment, as this situation was completely unexpected.

"Can we send a strong mutual detector to intercept them?" the military governor asked again.

At this time, the Trisolaran fleet still had about 200 years to go before arriving at the solar system, while the ten droplets had already entered the Oort Cloud.

"Rejected. The 10 strong mutual probes have already accelerated to their maximum speed limit and are now entering a deceleration phase. If they accelerate again to pursue these fleeing human warships, the strong mutual probes will not be able to reach the solar system."

The original storyline also mentioned why the water droplets didn't directly attack Luo Ji. One reason is that Luo Ji wasn't important; what was important was the sun. As long as the sun, as a relay station, was blocked, humanity would lose the ability to broadcast to the outside world. Even if Luo Ji knew the Dark Forest Law, he wouldn't be able to broadcast his coordinates.

Secondly, it's because the water droplets don't have enough fuel.

In the original storyline, the Trisolarans were very cautious and only sent one strong mutual probe, the Droplet, to accelerate and arrive in the solar system ahead of schedule. The rest continued to travel at normal speed because the Droplet's fuel was limited.

The Trisolaran fleet's ships travel using antimatter thrusters, and at the bow of each ship is a huge funnel used to absorb fuel during space travel.

But water droplets don't have this function; once they're used up, they're truly gone.

Once the water droplet reaches Earth and kills Luo Ji, he will lose the ability to fly back and control the sun. Once the Dark Forest Law is deciphered, the Trisolarans will still lose.

This is why the Trisolarans waited so long in the original story before starting to pursue the fleeing spaceship—they were waiting for other droplets to arrive in the solar system.

Now, because of Lin Xuan, the Trisolarans threw out all ten water droplets in their hands at once.

Their plan was excellent; these ten water droplets were more than enough to deal with Luo Ji and Lin Xuan together.

But now the Trisolarans are dumbfounded, because the escapism they feared most has begun to spread across the three fleets.

If these ships escape, they'll become a bunch of time bombs lurking in space, and who knows what might happen next.

The Trisolarans were now in a very difficult situation.

Luo Ji, Lin Xuan, Zhang Beihai.

Each of these three people is a huge threat.

If we abandon Luo Ji and stop controlling the sun as a transit point, then once humanity learns about the Dark Forest Theory, Luo Ji can broadcast the coordinates immediately.

Abandoning Lin Xuan means no one knows what he's plotting. This feeling of being out of control makes everyone in the Trisolaran community, from the leader to the twelve governors, a little uneasy.

Abandoning the pursuit fleet, perhaps one day they will turn back and drop an antimatter bomb or something else on the Trisolarans who have occupied Earth.

No matter what choice they make, the Trisolarans seem to be in a passive position.

"Forget it, abandon the pursuit fleet and let the ten strong mutual probes continue towards Earth. Let's deal with the immediate problem first. As for the fleet that escaped... we'll figure out a way to deal with it later."

"Strong Mutual Probe 1, after arriving in the solar system, will be responsible for clearing out the remaining fleet and interfering with the sun."

"Strong Mutual Probe 2, after arriving on Earth, is responsible for destroying the broadcast of Red Coast Third Base and the Mewtwo Database."

"Strong Mutual Detectors 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are responsible for destroying 1400 Thinker Arrays located in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa, as well as 50,000 Mirror Engineering Underground Cities."

"Strong Mutual Probe 10 is responsible for destroying 500 human military facilities, including the Reach space station, the Mars base, the Jupiter command center, and the space elevator."

Ten water droplets are just enough to wipe out all of Lin Xuan's plans on Earth; even one less droplet would not be enough to completely destroy Lin Xuan's scheme.

But Lin Xuan's plans were too numerous, so numerous that even humanity itself didn't know which one was his true Wallfacer Plan, and the Trisolarans didn't know which one posed the greatest threat to them.

To be on the safe side, everything must be destroyed, leaving Lin Xuan with nothing.

Meanwhile, within the solar system.

After the Navigator took the lead in fleeing, approximately one hundred Star-class warships immediately activated Forward 4 to pursue the Navigator ahead.

The Navigator is five times the size of these stellar-class warships. Logically, with such a large mass, it should be very slow. However, the Navigator uses cold nuclear fusion as its propulsion engine, and the number of engines deployed is several times that of these stellar-class warships that use nuclear fusion energy.

The latter simply cannot catch up with it.

"No, my ship's AI has identified it as a friendly force and cannot lock onto it!" said the captain of the Deep Space.

"Me too, this setting seems to be designed to deal with the Steel Seal Clan, I'm really impressed!" the captain of the Ultimate Law also said.

"I'm speechless, they're all allies!" Enterprise also sent a message.

As Chang Weisi previously stated, in order to prevent the presence of the Steel Stamp Clan within the fleets, the AI ​​of the three fleets was simultaneously programmed to prevent them from attacking the Navigator.

If you switch to manual control, hitting your opponent during a chase is as difficult as throwing a dart at the Earth to kill an ant.

"Wait a moment, let the ships piloted by the hibernators go. Their AI acts according to the captain's orders and is not restricted by this friendly force's settings."

"The ultimate law calls upon the Blue Space, calls upon Natural Selection."

"Blue Space received." Chu Yan's voice rang out in the communication band.

"Natural Selection received." Zhang Beihai had recovered from his initial shock. He piloted the Natural Selection, while Dongfang Yanxu assisted him.

"Chu Yan, Zhang Beihai, you two accelerate at full power to chase Chang Weisi. We'll switch to forward mode 3 to save fuel. We don't have that much fuel. When you run out, we'll catch up and refuel you," said the Ultimate Law.

Although nuclear fusion propulsion engines are not fueled by oil, people are used to saying it that way and naturally understand what the other person means.

"Can it be done?"

"Sure, no problem. The Navigator is too big; it can't keep moving forward indefinitely. Its engines will break down. Once it slows down, that's when we'll catch up with them."

Soon, the Natural Selection and the Blue Space broke away from the more than one hundred pursuing ships and accelerated towards the Navigator ahead.
