Chapter 350: Conservative Moral Views_1

What do they mean by that? Do they want to exchange information?

Jiang Yu had no intention of revealing even the smallest bit of the closely guarded secrets he had worked so hard to protect; he was even willing to terminate the communication with 171266 rather than disclose anything.

171266 might have noticed Jiang Yu's hesitation, "Please don't misunderstand, I have no intention of inquiring into your intelligence.

Based on observations from Neptune's nuclear fusion fuel processing plant, which adjusted the processing requirements for hydrogen and helium twice, the intelligence department is almost certain that the Solar System State has made a significant breakthrough in nuclear engines.

I brought up this topic to remind you: no matter how advanced nuclear engines are, they can't produce a qualitative change!"

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "I know that."

Then he asked, "What type of engine do Trisolarans use?"

171266: "They are called matter flow engines, I don't understand the specific theory very well, but I know they can use antimatter and dark matter as fuel.

As of now, these engines are not as fast as nuclear engines, but when the First Fleet set off, they insisted on using these then-brand-new engines because they were more reliable than nuclear ones!"

Jiang Yu tentatively asked, "Do you have other types of engines?"

171266: "I've heard that engines capable of reaching light speed have been developed, but I've never seen one in person and don't know if it's true or false."

Jiang Yu nodded, "Light speed, eh? That must be a huge advancement in engine technology, right?"

171266: "I'm not certain about that, but I can try to learn more through my companions."

Jiang Yu smiled gently, "Don't take any risks, let's talk about some details of the Trisolaran World instead."

So far, Jiang Yu felt that the other party's answers were impeccable, so he decided to discuss some intelligence he was most curious about!

171266: "Our life is quite dull; there really isn't much to talk about."

Jiang Yu: "No, aside from being oppressive, your societal structure should have more cohesiveness and explosive power than the human world."

171266: "After the establishment of the Dark Forest deterrence between our two sides, a new wave of thought emerged in the Trisolaran World; the Governing Council's rule is not as oppressive as before.

Otherwise, a 'problematic' person like me wouldn't be able to work in a critical department. But compared to the human world, our society is still too monotonous and dull.

In recent decades, some cultural and film works from the Solar System State have been of great help to us.

We often feel that the plot is teaching us how to revolt, awakening many Trisolarans and also serving as a textbook of resistance for our Earth Organization.

Since you are interested in the differences between our two worlds, then I will give you my personal opinion.

I believe that the difference between Trisolaran society and Earth's lies in our extensive use of artificial intelligence.

High-capability AI helps the Governing Council supervise the entire Trisolaris and also helps us handle massive amounts of data, making our society much more efficient than that of Earthlings.

The Governors believe they should hide the specifics of Trisolaran society's operation from humans to prevent the efficiency of the human world from increasing.

However, I don't think that's necessary. I'm very familiar with human culture and can imagine the distrust humans have for artificial intelligence.

In the human world, the difficulty of operating a society like the Trisolaran World is not in technology, but in the conservative human moral values.

Hiding the specifics of our society from humanity only really serves to hide it from you alone.

Jiang Yu exclaimed, "I had imagined many possibilities, but I never expected the answer to be so simple."

He let out a long sigh, "You're right, the conservatism of humanity is a sin in a universe governed by Dark Forest Law!"

171266: The communication time is used up again. Let's schedule the next contact in five months. I estimate that communicating twice in a row will definitely attract some people's attention and trigger some scrutiny. I need to be careful.

Jiang Yu: "Okay, you take care of yourself. Whenever you want to communicate, you make the call."

...

In the following year, their conversation continued intermittently.

The first two communications were three days apart, then it changed to five months and eight months. From the summer of Deterrence Year 61 to the winter of Deterrence Year 62, they communicated only four times.

Through the descriptions from 171266, the intelligence group summarized many important pieces of intelligence, such as being almost certain that the Trisolarans aimed to achieve some goals by the event of changing the Swordholder.

As a result, Desert North Farm warned the PDC and Fleet International, advising them to delay the replacement of the Swordholder, or for the three major political forces to jointly designate a successor to the Swordholder.

Not to use unreliable methods like elections.

In response, the PDC righteously claimed that only elections could represent the true will of the citizens, and that humanity's fate should be in everyone's hands.

They said a lot of nonsense, which made the people from the administrative, diplomatic, and intelligence departments quite angry.

Jiang Yu simply told everyone to ignore the PDC. Since they were not being cautious, it was up to the Solar System State to shoulder this burden.

For Jiang Yu, the situation of the Solar System State was quite good now.

He had always wanted to warn his subordinates about what was going to happen next, but he had never had the opportunity before.

Now, 171266 suddenly emerged and greatly helped him, allowing Jiang Yu to use this opportunity to release some of the information he had wanted to communicate through the mouth of this Trisolaran, so that everyone was prepared in advance.

Before this, Jiang Yu had ordered the entire military to enter a state of combat readiness. Although his subordinates would execute his orders without hesitation, they were surely somewhat puzzled.

Now, the entire military and the top and middle levels of the Governing Council knew that the Trisolarans were up to something big. Whatever it was, since it was being done behind humanity's back, it was definitely not good news.

So, the whole Solar System State was now loosely coordinated on the outside but tight-knit on the inside, all preparing for a major confrontation with the Trisolarans.

At the same time, Jiang Yu commended the members of the cultural warfare team, such as the director Jiang Shu, the writer Zhang Xiaoyu, and the cartoonist Zhao Xiaoman.

He didn't explain why they were being commended, and those who received the bonus and certificate of honor were completely bewildered.

Additionally, two sociologists in the group used Jiang Yu's conversation with 171266 to summarize a lot of information about Trisolaran society.

The first was that the Trisolaran World's economy was almost entirely state-owned, as their thinking was transparent, and they did not develop a noticeably private system in economics.

Once a Trisolaran was born, they had to strive for the benefit of their entire race, to fight for the continuity of their civilization and even sacrifice themselves for the collective interest if needed.

Even after a change in thought, this aspect did not change much.

It's not that the change in their thought was not thorough, but before a hedonist mentality could take hold, the Chaotic Era would remind the Trisolarans of their awe for survival.

In such an environment, people were allowed the right to enjoy life, but all rights had to give way to survival and the continuation of the entire Trisolaran Civilization.

In such circumstances, it was impossible to form a relaxed living environment like on Earth.

171266 said that things had much improved now, as he at least had his own rest time.

In the past, none of his time belonged to him; not only did he have to obey absolutely at work, but even his rest time was subject to arrangement.

The immense pressure to survive crushed any concept of private ownership as soon as it appeared!
