Chapter 347: Trisolaris Past_1

For Jiang Yu, this was too much of a coincidence!

Had a turncoat really shown up just after Sophon's failed breach of the wall?

His mind raced as he decided to chat with the other party before jumping to conclusions.

So Jiang Yu lit a cigarette and sat back down, "Your situation must be very difficult, right?"

171266: Yes, in the early stages of the Earth Organization's formation, our inability to deceive was our biggest problem, allowing the Trisolaran Government to easily identify who belonged to the Earth Organization. Thus, over a century ago when the Trisolaran Government raised its butchers' knives against the Earth Organization, nearly all of our predecessors were wiped out.

Perhaps due to the weight of the past, he paused before adding: Fortunately, many of our predecessors anticipated the government's repression, so they underwent dehydration in advance, which allowed them to escape that calamity.

Jiang Yu took a drag on his cigarette and asked, "Then how did you infiltrate the Trisolaran Government to work within it?"

171266: Because I possess the ability to deceive!

Jiang Yu: "Could you elaborate?"

171266: "At the time humanity began to execute the Wallfacer Project, our Academy of Sciences, aiming to simulate the behavior and psychological models of the Wallfacers and further study human deception, used genetic technologies to create a group of Trisolarans whose thoughts were not open to outsiders.

Later, when authorities deemed the only Wallfacer who posed a threat to us, Logic, forced into hibernation, and the plans of the other Wallfacers insignificant, the project was canceled.

Concurrently, the Governing Council decreed that these trial subjects, with thoughts closed to outsiders, be afforded all the rights and obligations of normal citizens.

The genetic modifications made to the test subjects would be hereditary, and even though the law granted them the rights of normal citizens, still no one wished to reproduce with them.

Moreover, because the Trisolaran Government subjected this group to cruel experiments and torment, they harbored deep hatred toward the Trisolaran Government in their hearts.

It just so happened that after humanity's Great Rift Valley, as human civilization began to revive, the rich and diverse human culture gave them great encouragement.

At that time, the dehydrated members of the Earth Organization gradually began to rehydrate, and the two parties found common ground, giving birth to the new Earth Organization. Our new organization now possessed a very powerful weapon: opaqueness of thought!

The internal members of the Earth Organization began to reproduce, resulting in a group like myself, Trisolarans who could conceal their thoughts to some extent."

Jiang Yu continued to inquire, "Didn't experiments like those conducted by the Trisolaran Government receive social condemnation? And if it's convenient, could you reveal the current aims or manifesto of the Earth Organization?"

171266: "The Academy has conducted many similar experiments, most of which are not only uncontested by the majority of Trisolarans but are supported because such experiments often lead to qualitative progress for the Trisolaran world.

I have observed your difficulties in promoting the most advanced genetic technologies among humanity and worry about the stupidity of the majority of humans; human morality is the biggest shackle to human survival.

Typically, such experimental subjects would be destroyed at the end of the experiments, yet my elders were granted the rights of normal citizens, which is unimaginable.

Through continuous analysis, we believe this reflects the Trisolaran Government's hesitation over whether to allow their own species the ability to deceive.

At that time, the Academy had already mastered the technology to make Trisolaran thought opaque, but if this technology were to become widespread, it would cause significant upheaval in the entire Trisolaran world.

First and foremost, after achieving opaqueness of thought, we would need a new, highly efficient form of communication.

Moreover, being reserved in thought and possessing the ability to lie would strongly impact the core values of the Trisolaran World.

Most importantly, the Trisolaran Government would find it very difficult to effectively understand people's thoughts, and thus govern the Trisolarans efficiently.

However, if thinking continues to be transparent, it would be impossible to establish effective deception.

According to the research of the Academy of Sciences, deception is an indispensable skill when dealing with other civilizations in the universe.

Therefore, the Trisolaran Government hesitated about the future path, which led to the release of the test subjects, wanting to see what changes the test subjects could bring to the Trisolaran World.

As for our program: 1. We respect humanity and human culture, and strive to make our own culture rich and colorful. We will work hard to awaken more compatriots and establish a world that respects individual rights and eradicates all high-pressure rule.

2. The dictatorship and darkness of the Trisolaran World are beyond redemption, a high-pressure world has no future! We, comrades, must work together to free the organization members from the suffering of the Trisolaran World, achieve cultural and civilizational independence, and create a more civilized and superior Trisolaran Civilization."

Jiang Yu expressed his solemn respect, "Your program is more pragmatic than that of ETO!"

He sighed, "The early ETO's problem was that its leadership was mostly composed of scholars and madmen. When a bunch of scholars get together, it's easy to come up with some overly ambitious ideas!

"And the more impossible the idea, the more exciting it is to the madmen.

"You are different, having realized that, even if you want to save most people, they still think you're harming them.

"Just like the citizens of the Solar System State and other humans, after more than half a century of effort, there's still hope for the people of the Solar System State, but for the others, they can only fend for themselves!"

171266: "We also realized this early on and have been working hard to seize the opportunity for independence, to break away from the dominant world of Trisolaris and transform into a new world.

Many of us believe that this should be the way of civilizational advancement. The more advanced a civilization, the more its progress is hindered by itself. Therefore, we must continuously advance with light baggage, abandoning those who do not adapt to new thoughts."

Jiang Yu's heart tightened suddenly, recalling the intelligence about the "new rules" he had received from the Black Cuboid People.

Could it be that the Trisolarans have realized something?

After quickly processing his thoughts, Jiang Yu smiled and said, "These ideas must have come from Trisolaran sociologists, right? I had similar thoughts a long time ago."

171266: "This must be a consensus between you and some of our scholars. When a civilization advances to a certain stage, it will inevitably start to harm its own people."

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he could not be sure whether this guy was hiding something, from the conversation, it seemed that the Trisolarans' understanding of the problem was similar to his own ideas before his contact with the Black Cuboid People.

Jiang Yu asked again, "Your cause is very similar and valuable to what I am doing now, but I can't help you much. Why did you suddenly think to contact me?"

171266: "You may not know, but you are not only a great hero in the human world, in our world too, you are a great man. What we talk about most is that no one has been able to break your plan to this day.

We have reached out to you because we hope to provide you with some intelligence on the Trisolaran Government, to make human civilization more splendid, shining like a lighthouse on the common path forward for both humans and Trisolarans."

Jiang Yu "frankly" said, "I am sorry, not that I don't trust you, but with the 'Dark Forest Law' hanging over us, it is impossible for me to trust you."

He believed that when Trisolarans said things like this, it indicated that a person subconsciously started to trust the other party.
