Chapter 521: Do Not Let Humanity Down_1

Yun Tony took a while to regain his composure, "Future, future humanity?"

No wonder they used a secure space, this information really is a big secret!

"Yes," Jiang Yu said, "so there's no need to worry about going to the Paradise civilization."

Yun Tony quickly refocused his mind, "I understand, then, Shi Mingwei's plan won't be in any danger!"

"And many of humanity's arrangements can also be carried out more comfortably."

As they spoke, the two sat down on the sofa, and Jiang Yu added, "The Trisolarans have also experienced a Dark Forest Strike and have begun rapid development in their new world!"

"In about two and a half centuries, they will achieve a level of technological advancement akin to that of a small universe.

"You can ask Ricks about the specific technical parameters. The Academy had a project on a small universe before, but it had to be halted due to major gaps in the theory."

Yun Tony noticed that Jiang Yu's tone was one of certainty.

That is to say, the information about the Trisolarans wasn't speculation.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath, "Remember, don't let the Dark Forest scare you out of your wits. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility!"

Yun Tony immediately stood up, "I won't let you down."

Jiang Yu smiled, "I don't mind, but don't let humanity down!"

"Yes!"

"Call Shi Mingwei in."

Yun Tony nodded, first disabling the secure space mode, then opened the door and called Shi Mingwei in.

Jiang Yu told Shi Mingwei, "Tomorrow, the Supreme Council will appoint Yun Tony as Wallfacer, and you must hibernate for the first thirty years of his tenure, or accompany me on a visit."

Yun Tony quickly said, "There's no need to go to such trouble..."

Jiang Yu waved his hand, "The establishment of supreme power cannot be the least bit negligent!"

After a moment's thought, Shi Mingwei said, "I'll accompany you on the visit."

...

A new Wallfacer was born in the Solar System State, unlike the first batch of Wallfacers such as Jiang Yu, he underwent a ten-year selection process and finally obtained this supreme power.

After the Supreme Council made the appointment, Jiang Yu transferred all internal affairs of the Solar System State to Yun Tony and started focusing externally, paying attention both to the struggle with the Trisolarans and making preparations for his visits.

This was the second time Jiang Yu had delegated power since taking over the Solar System State; by this point, he retained only diplomatic power, military power, and the power to appoint senior officials.

These powers, too, would be transferred to Yun Tony when he went into curvature flight.

After Jiang Yu's lightspeed journey ended, these powers would immediately return to him.

This back and forth arrangement was still guaranteed by the Number Three, the Director of the Wallfacer Office, who still had significant power and was the final check on Yun Tony's authority.

However, Yun Tony's usual plans were not something Number Three had the authority to interfere with.

Then, Jiang Yu spoke with Yang Dong and Jiang Que, hoping they would accompany him on the visit.

Jiang Yu had a prolonged lifespan due to special circumstances, while Yang Dong had only undergone genetic modification and had a lifespan of at most two hundred years.

Jiang Que's situation was similar to her mother's, but she had undergone genetic modification before birth, so her lifespan would be longer than Yang Dong's.

If they stayed on Blue Maiden Star, not undergoing hibernation, then Yang Dong might not live to see Jiang Yu return.

By the time Jiang Yu came back, Jiang Que would also have become a one hundred seventy-year-old elder.

Jiang Yu didn't want this to happen, but he still left the decision to Yang Dong and Jiang Que; this was the basic respect for family.

Yang Dong pondered for a moment before responding, "I'll go with you, even if I stay, I won't be able to work for quite a while."

Yang Dong was pregnant again, not showing yet, but in a couple of months, she would have to start maternity leave.

For this result, Jiang Yu had been trying hard for over half a year, and he had lost quite a few pounds.

While it's important to respect family opinions, one shouldn't be too old-fashioned, and could find a way to "persuade" the family, helping them understand one's difficulties and thoughts.

So Jiang Yu and Yang Dong both looked towards Jiang Que.

"I, I, I..." Jiang Que fidgeted, "I still think career should come first!"

Yang Dong gave her daughter a sideways glance: "I heard that your supervisor's assistant confessed to you!"

Jiang Que laughed stiffly: "What are you talking about? There's no such thing."

Jiang Yu chuckled, "You are an adult, you have the right to make your own decisions, and we won't stop you."

Jiang Que visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "I was just scared you'd want me to get into a political marriage. It's a relief you don't have that in mind."

She cleared her throat and continued, "My mom is right, I've already accepted his confession!"

Jiang Yu's expression became a bit richer: "I thought your mom was tricking you, but this is true!"

Hearing her dad's tone, Jiang Que immediately stood up: "Let me tell you, if you plan to use me as a political tool, I promise I'll make any marriage alliance turn sore."

"You've been reading too many romance novels. What era is it to still have political marriages!" Jiang Yu sighed deeply: "I just didn't expect the pig wooing my cabbage would come so soon."

Jiang Que stepped back: "You old couple can go and be lovey-dovey all you want, but just now, I realized how hard it is to leave Blue Maiden Star, and it just feels very difficult to leave.

"I've decided not to go with you," she said.

Yang Dong shook her head: "We respect your decision."

Jiang Yu also said, "It's okay not to go. If you miss us, you can hibernate until we come back."

Seeing her parents not making it difficult for her, Jiang Que felt somewhat guilty: "Sorry, I can't go with you."

Jiang Yu stood up and patted his daughter on the shoulder: "Children never grow up under the protection of their parents.

"Now that you have your own visions of life, we should be happy about that."

...

The Wallfacer Office suddenly requested Professor Zheng Hua to report on their project group's situation. It happened that Zheng Hua was not on Blue Maiden Star, so the task of reporting naturally fell to Qin Hai.

This type of reporting was routine and nobody paid much attention.

However, when Qin Hai arrived at the Wallfacer Office Building, the robot guard brought him to an unfamiliar floor, in front of an unfamiliar office.

Only then did Qin Hai realize that today he seemed to have a different person to report to.

He had barely sat down on the bench when the office door opened, and out came Governor Hao Ying!

This was someone who frequently appeared in the news, and Qin Hai naturally wouldn't mistake her, so he immediately stood up: "Good day, Governor!"

Hao Ying glanced at Qin Hai, offering a polite smile: "Hello."

As Hao Ying walked away, Qin Hai suddenly felt uneasy. Whose office was this?

Then it occurred to him that perhaps some important figure was paying attention to his mentor's plan. He had followed his mentor to the Wallfacer Office Building several times but never had the chance to meet with the upper echelons.

Facing someone high in the hierarchy of the Solar System State all by himself naturally made him quite nervous.

At that moment, the holographic projection of the smart secretary appeared in front of Qin Hai: "Please come in."

Qin Hai immediately stood up, and as he approached the office door, he felt his breath catch. This was none other than Wallfacer Jiang Yu's office!
