Chapter 588: Current Situation of the Trisolarans_1

Trisolarans do not communicate with vocal cords and sound; their spacesuits are equipped with a translation system, so Jiang Yu can speak to them normally.

Upon hearing Jiang Yu's question, the Trisolaran representative responded first, "Please, elaborate."

Jiang Yu explained, "During the Battle of Uranus, the first human warship attacked by The Waterdrop was called the 'Infinite Frontier'!"

The Trisolaran representative immediately said, "In centuries of interstellar wars, we have both suffered casualties.

"This time, we come with intentions of peace, hoping that the long-gone history will not affect our friendship."

"You're missing the point," Jiang Yu said with an amused smile, "I mean to say, when two civilizations live together, forming a federation civilization, as the main body of this civilization, we need to maintain an overwhelming technological advantage.

"Of course, this has a lot to do with only part of you coming here. If all Trisolarans had joined the Earth Organization, I would treat the star system where you settled as one of the most advanced directly governed star systems of humanity.

"But only a portion of you came, while the rest are still hostile towards us. I'm very sorry, but this makes us wary of the possibility that you could transfer technology to the Trisolarans who remain our enemies."

Finally, Jiang Yu smiled, "This is a hard-earned technological advantage we have, we can't just hand it over."

The Trisolaran representative nodded, "I understand, and we are also sorry, we can only encourage those people to defect to the Solar System State."

The positions of humanity and the Trisolarans had swapped; now humanity could walk tall, while the Trisolarans had to compromise.

Jiang Yu laughed, "This is a good start. Once they know about your carefree life here, they will rush over as well.

"All the equipment and materials for colonizing new worlds have been prepared for you, and the coordinates of that star system will be sent to you later."

For a while, the conference room was filled with a harmonious atmosphere, and the final negotiations concluded very smoothly.

Afterward, the two parties went their separate ways, with Jiang Yu returning to Blue Maiden Star and the New Earth Organization fleet heading twenty astronomical units away to the planetary system assigned to them, guided by part of the First Fleet's intelligent warships.

The star system was quiet, on the periphery of the human civilization circle, and rich in resources within its planetary system.

Although conditions on the habitable Earth-like planet were quite different from those preferred by the Trisolarans, Jiang Yu promised to support them with a new kind of Climate Air Conditioning system.

Jiang Yu only made one request to the Trisolarans: to maintain contact with those Trisolarans who had not come, as the Solar System State would be very welcoming to any Trisolarans who wished to defect to humanity.

To show trust in the Trisolarans, Jiang Yu only deployed a few dozen intelligent warships in the New Trisolaris Star System.

All these preferential policies overwhelmed the Trisolarans, and many who were initially undecided now firmly resolved to defect to humanity.

Afterwards, the two sides went their separate ways, with Jiang Yu and his group re-entering faster-than-light travel.

Only after entering faster-than-light speed did Jiang Yu meet with Yun Tianming, who was in recovery.

Yun Tianming had almost adapted to his new body and, upon seeing Jiang Yu, smiled, "The move you made was brilliant!

"Previously, you had virtually shattered the Trisolarans' confidence through war, and now you've started to split them using a policy of appeasement.

"Shortly after you made contact with the New Earth Organization, a civil war broke out among the Trisolarans.

"Logically, the New Earth Organization, being newly established and not very strong, shouldn't have been able to break away, but some Trisolarans deliberately threw the fight, enabling the Earth Organization to successfully escape.

"This shows that many Trisolarans, even if they did not join the New Earth Organization, have been successfully divided by you."

Then he added with some concern, "However, keeping the Trisolarans close is like nurturing a tiger, posing a potential danger."

Jiang Yu laughed, "I have my own judgment."

He said again, "You've had it tough over these years."

But Yun Tianming shook his head, "After drifting away from Earth and the Solar System, I finally found the meaning of life.

"I have thought many times that such a life is thrilling and wonderful, but I never felt it was hard."

Jiang Yu sat down beside Yun Tianming, "Then tell me about the current situation of the Trisolarans."

Yun Tianming said, "For a long time after they left the Three-Body Star System, the Trisolarans had very strong cohesion, and that's when they experienced a technological explosion.

"The core achievements of this technological explosion were the pocket universe that I once tried to bring to humanity, as well as the technology for Curled Space.

"However, I heard from Xiao Qi that we had already mastered the pocket universe technology, and in the last half-century, we have also possessed the technology of Curled Space.

"There's even hope to go a step further, to have the capability of Spatial Editing or Spatial Jump.

"The Solar System State's strict control over the use of the pocket universe was correct. The Trisolarans started the movement to enter the pocket universe to hide from the Dark Forest before the war. This significantly weakened the willpower of the Trisolarans.

"After the war, the Trisolarans made no progress in size and are now even caught up in civil strife, with their morale dissipated.

"In the war launched by the Solar System State, they managed to escape with only about one-eighth of their population, and their technological system has become somewhat incomplete.

"That's why so many Trisolarans are willing to take their chances in the Solar System State, because they really lack a sense of security now.

"The most important point is that Trisolaris was destroyed in the Dark Forest Strike, and now the Trisolaris Government has no means to unify everyone again.

"The Trisolarans were already on the verge of disintegration, and you just happened to give them an extra push."

Jiang Yu smiled, "I don't mind giving them another push."

During their superluminal flight, Jiang Yu and his companions felt as if only a few days had passed. When they disengaged from the space jump mode, they had already reached the Interstellar Harbor of the New Continent Star System.

And in the greater universe, 25 years had gone by. It was now the year 401 of the Milky Way.

As he had promised, Jiang Yu took Yun Tianming on a tour of the Blue Maiden Star and the Hall of Fame as well, where Yun Tianming was also included, along with his wax figure.

The New Earth Organization also roughly exited light speed around this time, beginning the construction of their new home.

It was almost as if Jiang Yu had forgotten about those people, remembering to inquire about their situation only every few years.

The Trisolarans of the New Earth Organization, seeing that the surveillance on them wasn't too strict, completely let loose.

Over the years, Trisolarans had been continuously smuggling themselves over, joining the New Earth Organization.

For them, this place was simply paradise—secure and comfortable.

However, interstellar smuggling could only be done quietly from the main world of the present Trisolarans, and they needed the assistance of the New Earth Organization because they didn't know its location.

Until the year 425 of the Milky Way, the main world of the Trisolarans, having smuggled intelligent spies among the refugees and gotten a clear picture of the New Earth Organization, suddenly launched a surprise attack on the star system where the New Earth Organization was located.

The Solar System State had only deployed a few dozen warships in this star system, whereas the main world of the Trisolarans sent out their main force, several times the strength of human warships.

However, the New Earth Organization didn't panic, believing that the Solar System State's rescue would arrive immediately. But to their surprise, they found that the mere few dozen human warships had also been withdrawn!
