Chapter 313: Where the Enemy Can Go, I Can Also Go_1

According to astronomical observations, the Starship Earth fleet suddenly resumed acceleration, ending its previous state of doubt and wait-and-see.

For this reason, "No.1 Command Center" convened an emergency meeting, preparing to dispatch the fleet with "Gravitational Force" as the flagship to pursue.

The Trisolarans paid special attention to the movements of Starship Earth as well, sending two "The Waterdrop" to participate in the action.

This confused many people, as when the six fleets set out to chase those six starship formations, the Trisolarans made no indications.

When "No.1 Command Center" asked them to send "The Waterdrop" to assist, they declined with reasons such as "The Waterdrop" had already left the Solar System.

But why were they so eager to participate in this pursuit?

"Because the flagship is 'Gravitational Force'!" Jiang Yu laughed, "This is a spaceship that can launch gravity waves!"

One didn't need God's View to see that this was obvious.

Number Three said, "Should we remind our own people about this?"

In the fleet, only "Gravitational Force" was a Fleet International warship; the other three ordinary battleships were interstellar warships of the Solar System State.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "No need."

Number Three suddenly remembered that before reporting to "No.1 Command Center," Jiang Yu had taken the captains of the three warships that had just departed to "Blind Zone No.1."

Number Three didn't try to guess what secret orders Jiang Yu had given to the three captains, because he knew he couldn't guess them.

When the "Gravitational Force" fleet departed, Jiang Yu and his group had just arrived on Earth.

To personally observe the current Earthlings, Jiang Yu chose to land at a public Spaceport and then transfer to a public shuttlecraft.

In the waiting hall, Jiang Yu listened to two handsome male passengers discussing celebrity gossip.

He saw a handsome male staff member, with a nervous face bowing and apologizing profusely to a passenger who complained that there was a nail-cover-sized stain on the floor of their waiting hall.

Jiang Yu also noticed a handsome soldier flirting coyly with his female companion, appearing even more beautiful than his companion.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but ask Number Three, "Is this the appearance of soldiers on Earth now?"

Number Three nodded, "According to our investigation, it is."

Jiang Yu sighed, "It's only been a dozen years or so!"

"It's exactly these dozen years, many have started promoting the 'permanent peace theory,'" Number Three reported.

"Many believe that as long as Earthlings hold 'Dark Forest Law', they can deter any advanced civilization! Ensuring humanity remains invincible!

"This notion has relieved Earth and Fleet International from the pressure of interstellar wars, causing their aesthetic to soften considerably.

"Presently, Earthlings advocate enjoying life, advocating better welfare and treatment, and embracing the dividends of modern technology; they are totally focused on how to enjoy life."

Jiang Yu snorted, "Civilizations that implement a 'Dark Forest' strike, which have the luxury to conduct such detailed investigations?

"To be deterred by us? A joke!"

At that moment, Jiang Yu and his party's shuttlecraft arrived. Many recognized Jiang Yu while boarding; some smiled and took photos to show off to friends and family, while others stared coldly at Jiang Yu.

Only a long-haired woman stood up to question Jiang Yu, "Wallfacer, why do you excuse the degenerates on 'Bronze Age'? Where do your actions leave humanity's moral standards?"

Number Three was about to argue with her, but Jiang Yu waved him off and then stood up saying, "I admire your action, so many people itch to hate me, yet only you, a girl, dare to stand up!"

The other person said with flushed anger, "I'm a guy!"

"Cough, cough." Jiang Yu almost choked on his own saliva.

Number Three simply turned off its emotion expression system to avoid laughing too hard and making Jiang Yu feel embarrassed.

The people protecting Jiang Yu, apart from those armed robots, each turned their backs with a shudder of their shoulders, clearly trying hard to suppress their laughter.

Jiang Yu quickly changed the subject, "Young man, I admire your spirit of resistance. Come to the Solar System State, Earth's environment will ruin you.

"Also, I won't answer your question right now. If you're really curious, hibernate for a century, and then the answer might be obvious."

The young man who looked very much like a girl was clearly stunned, obviously not expecting Jiang Yu to provide such an answer instead of discussing some grand principle.

The shuttle started, and the captain warned everyone that there would be some turbulence during the entry into the atmosphere, and asked everyone to fasten their seat belts.

The young man could only sit down sulkily.

After the journey began, nobody paid attention to Jiang Yu anymore.

Seizing the opportunity, Number Three continued to report, "You might not imagine that the 'theory of permanent peace' was a theory the Trisolarans input into Earth. Because it was well-packaged, it was popular with many people.

"And the governments of PDC countries found this theory quite applicable to Earth now, so they started to propagate it extensively."

Jiang Yu sighed, "Earth is about to be occupied again."

Then he fell into thought until the shuttle landed safely, and he came back to his senses.

The mayor of New Capital had been waiting outside the shuttle gate early. In principle, the PDC officials and the president should greet Jiang Yu together for his visit.

But just a few hours before, they learned that Jiang Yu had not gone to Desert North Farm but had come to New Capital. This left everyone in a bit of a flurry, as diplomatic visits are not so hastily arranged.

Since the president and the officials of the PDC really could not make it in time, it fell to the mayor of New Capital to do the honors and come to greet him.

Jiang Yu, looking at the handsome mayor who was both bowing and greeting and seemed a bit at a loss, said, "I came to see Sophon and didn't mean to disturb you all. Now that you're here, please arrange a car to take us."

Two years ago Sophon's electronic body had been remade, and since then she had been living in New Capital City.

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, the mayor hurried to arrange for a car.

With Desert North Farm blocking most of the sandstorms in the north and northwest, New Capital City had begun large-scale construction on the surface.

Sophon's small courtyard was on a "Big Tree" at the edge of New Capital City, and one had to walk along the branches to the end.

The path in front of the courtyard was paved with smooth cobblestones, flanked by lush green lawns.

Sophon greeted Jiang Yu and his party at the entrance of the villa, wearing a gorgeous Japanese kimono, looking as if she was surrounded by a cluster of flowers.

"Welcome, welcome," Sophon said with a smile. "I've always wanted to talk to you face to face."

While speaking, Sophon led everyone into the living room structured with tatami mats, "Please wait a moment; I will make tea for you."

But Jiang Yu laughed, "Let's skip the tea, let's get straight to the point!

"Sophon, I am your Wallbreaker!"

Everyone around nearly dropped their jaws in shock, and Sophon was also surprised, "Wallbreaker? Isn't that a term we invented?"

Jiang Yu laughed wildly, "If you venture there, so can I!"
