Chapter 346: The Boss of Earth Organization_1

Tong Junqi argued, "It was Logic's 'curse' that came first, and then the photon destroyed that star! All of this is Logic's own crime!"

"Haha!" Jiang Yu laughed angrily in reply, "Don't make excuses for yourself.

"Even if you wanted to judge Advanced Civilizations, they wouldn't care about you.

"But Logic is an easy target right in front of you! The key is that he has always been deterring the Trisolarans in the Deterrence Center, with no time to care about you!"

Jiang Yu continued his carving, and Tong Junqi felt the pressure lessen, "Mr. Jiang, if destroying the creatures of a world doesn't count as a crime, then this is just too disrespectful to life!"

"What you should be grateful for is that it wasn't the Solar System that was destroyed!" Jiang Yu blew off the wood shavings he had just carved:

"In the universe, only when you are powerful enough will other civilizations respect you silently in the dark!"

He gave Tong Junqi a sidelong glance, "Don't think you seem so reasonable, you don't even know where the entrance to the Deterrence Center is, or how arduous Logic's deterrence is. You just slander him and want to judge him.

"Don't think that by dressing malicious slander as respect for life, you aquire righteousness!

"And don't take blatantly biased views as a basis for your reckless actions!"

Tong Junqi spread her hands, "Whatever you say, then. Call it malicious slander or bias on my part.

"Isn't this also because you sympathize with Logic that you criticize me?"

Jiang Yu applied too much force to his hand and the carving knife sank into the wood.

He gave up carving altogether, picked up a towel and wiped his hands, "Stop playing innocent in front of me. I have the least respect for someone like you who adds insult to injury without even trying to understand the essence of the problem!"

Jiang Yu sneered, "Don't think I don't know about your tail. You are from the Jiusong Consortium. You are funded by consortia to produce news that turns black into white, specifically to smear Logic!"

Tong Junqi's face turned pale instantly, "You, you're talking nonsense, you..."

Jiang Yu smiled leisurely, pulled out the carving knife, and continued with his work, "You must have heard of the intelligence system of the Solar System State, right? If you want to see evidence, I'll post it online in a moment."

Tong Junqi became somewhat panicked, suddenly unsure what to do.

"A long time ago, I understood that capitalism sees the highly centralized power of the Swordholder as a mortal enemy!" Jiang Yu switched to a smaller knife to finish up his wood carving:

"Only in places where power is relatively decentralized do capitals have room to maneuver, and governments find it hard to contain their monopolies!"

He glanced at the restless Tong Junqi, "Don't worry, I won't publish your tail or the despicable things you've done.

"I don't have the luxury to expect you to understand the Swordholder's painstaking efforts, to understand the gratitude all of Humanity owes to Logic."

Jiang Yu's voice suddenly grew heavier, "But if you continue to defame Logic without any limits, or insult Logic, then that's a different story!"

Tong Junqi stood up, "I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Jiang Yu waved his hand dismissively, and Tong Junqi, as if granted amnesty, turned and walked away.

"Wait a minute!" She had just taken two steps when Jiang Yu called out to her again, "You've heard of the Dongguo Clan, haven't you?"

"I've heard of them!"

Jiang Yu nodded, "Your behavior is not much different from theirs. In the future, the Solar System Congress will judge you!"

Tong Junqi clenched her fists, "Thanks for the warning, but such acts that infringe upon the freedom of speech of citizens won't happen in the PDC.

"Your Solar System State can't judge us citizens who have the right to freedom of speech!

"A state that's both authoritarian and requires tiptoeing around has no future."

Jiang Yu smiled, "I hope you'll still be this optimistic a year from now."

After finishing his speech, he stopped paying attention to Tong Junqi and began to focus on putting the finishing touches on his work.

A dozen minutes later, his work was finally complete. He had Sixteen fetch his daughter, Jiang Que: "Look at the little animal Daddy made for you!"

Jiang Que examined it for a while, then responded half-heartedly, "Wow, a little piggy, I love it!"

Jiang Yu frowned. "I sculpted a rabbit!"

...

The latest news from the "Gravitational Force" fleet reached Jiang Yu late into the night.

Three days earlier, contact had been lost between No.1 Command Center and the "Gravitational Force" fleet that was pursuing Starship Earth.

After repeated confirmations by the Trisolarans, it was determined that the pursuing fleet had entered a Sophon Blind Zone.

This blind zone was not the kind devised by the Solar System State to counter Sophons, but a mysterious environmental zone in the universe where quantum entanglement could be disrupted, preventing real-time communication across light-years.

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Yu found himself becoming restless; that major event was drawing closer by the day. He had been preparing for this moment for two and a half centuries. Success or failure would be decided in the present!

Because of his God's View, he had known ever since he became a Wallfacer that humanity had no way to combat the Trisolarans during the Uranus battle.

The second conflict now presented relatively better conditions for a fight.

For this moment, the people of the Solar System State lived without any improvement in their standard of living for sixty years!

In the beginning, he only had a rough plan, which he refined during the execution process.

Kong Xiang's intuition had been very accurate. While other Wallfacers were employing every possible strategy, everything Jiang Yu did was merely preparatory work for his own plan.

While reminiscing about the past two and a half centuries, Jiang Yu smoked a lot.

Lost in thought until the wee hours, just as he was about to go back to rest, a line of text suddenly appeared before him: Hello Jiang Yu, I am Captain 171266 from the Earth Organization of Trisolaran World.

Jiang Yu was startled: How come Sophon suddenly contacted me again?

And what on Earth is this "Earth Organization of Trisolaran World"?

Then, it seemed Jiang Yu figured something out: There's an Earth Organization in the Trisolaran World?

Jiang Yu was staying on a farm, where only his office environment was in a Sophon Blind Zone. The living environment had not been equipped with a blind zone in time.

171266: It has always existed. During the active days of ETO, the Earth Organization of Trisolaran World was also very active and almost sparked a civil war!

Jiang Yu nodded: "Are you one of our own who has managed to infiltrate the Sophon monitoring department?"

The term "our own" - why did it sound so familiar? Oh, right. Over two hundred years ago, hadn't he done something similar? Except back then, he'd been on humanity's side, infiltrating ETO.

171266: "That's one way to put it. We have always wanted to make contact with Earth but never had the opportunity.

My infiltration started thirty years ago, and now I've become an official in the academy. I finally have the chance to talk to you alone."

He paused, then added: "Our organization deeply admires Earth's majestic culture, while growing weary of our monotonous and boring lives. We long for the Solar System. Please don't misunderstand; we truly long for it, not to possess it."

Jiang Yu's mind raced: "What brings you to me?"

171266: We are willing to help you continue to strengthen humanity's power and make your culture even more prosperous.

Jiang Yu chuckled to himself: A mole just presenting itself on a platter?
