Looking at Luo Ji in front of him, Zheng Gan couldn't help but admire his big heart. Even when encountering such a thing, he didn't seem to do anything too extraordinary. He could only say that he was worthy of being the protagonist.
"Professor Luo Ji, aren't you curious about where this place is?"
Since Luo Ji chose to take things as they come and remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances, Zheng Gan did not keep anyone in suspense and started his performance directly.
To be honest, Zheng Gan really didn't want to confront a smart man like Luo Ji from the beginning. The reason was that for a businessman, it was not easy to make money from smart people.
"It's nothing more than a new method used by the Trisolarans. There's nothing to be curious about."
Although he had just woken up from a deep sleep, in Luo Ji's opinion, this method that exceeded the level of Earth's technology was nothing more than a routine set by aliens. He also wanted to see what this mysterious man in front of him was up to.
"I guess the professor must have just woken up from hibernation not long ago."
Zheng Gan didn't care about Luo Ji's caution. After all, he just wanted to do business with the Three-Body Universe and had no ill intentions. He also had the advantage of foresight. No matter how powerful Luo Ji was, he would definitely not be able to defeat him.
Therefore, Zheng Gan didn't say much, and immediately changed the topic to talk about Luo Ji's current situation.
Zheng Gan's abrupt change of topic made Luo Ji feel puzzled. Just when Luo Ji wanted to say something, Zheng Gan in front of him suddenly removed the halo that was blocking him and revealed his true face to Luo Ji.
At this moment, Zheng Gan stared at Luo Ji with his eyes full of fanaticism and disdain.
Luo Ji felt a little uneasy when Zheng Gan stared at him like that. He was very familiar with this look. When Frederick Taylor found him in his secluded villa, he talked about how his wall-breaker looked at him.
As expected, Zheng Gan, who was sitting in front of Luo Ji, began to speak word by word:
"Wallfacer Luo Ji, I am your wallbreaker!"
The air seemed to freeze. Luo Ji could never have imagined that after he had been asleep for 185 years, the Trisolarans still found him, and in such a special way and means.
Looking at Luo Ji's serious face, Zheng Gan, who had been serious just a second ago, suddenly burst into laughter. He walked up to Luo Ji, patted him on the shoulder gently, and said with a smile:
"Professor, relax. I'm not your wall-breaker. As I said just now, I'm a businessman and I like to make money."
This sudden scene made Luo Ji's expression turn cold, and then he said lightly: "Mr. Zheng, I don't think your joke is funny. If you are my wall breaker, then I am willing to listen to your plan."
"oh?"
Luo Ji's words made Zheng Gan chuckle.
"Professor Luo Ji, I wonder if you've ever heard this: Weakness and ignorance aren't obstacles to survival; arrogance is!"
As Zheng Gan spoke, he walked behind Luo Ji, casually placed his hands on Luo Ji's chair and continued:
"You think you've comprehended some of the fundamental laws of the universe, that you have the means to confront the impending Trisolaran fleet, that you're qualified to converse with the Trisolarans. You also wishfully believe that I'm the Trisolarans' means of stopping you.
But have you ever considered that the Trisolaran civilization, which you consider so powerful, is as weak as an ant on the roadside that can be easily crushed to death by a single step?
After saying that, Zheng Gan waved his hand, and the surrounding scene changed. Now the two of them were in the universe. In front of them were groups of fleets surrounding a teardrop-shaped alien probe.
"This is a glimpse into the future. The Earth United Fleet confronts a Trisolaran probe. Want to know the outcome?"
Pointing at the water droplets in the picture, Zheng Gan guided Luo Ji's gaze over there. When Luo Ji saw the densely packed human fleet, his pupils shrank.
Because in the next second, the originally stopped picture started moving. The water droplet-shaped three-body probe took one minute and eighteen seconds to penetrate the one hundred warships of the joint fleet, and then the mighty
The human space fleet was violently smashed into metal fragments in front of that drop of water.
In this one-sided massacre, Luo Ji even felt like he was appreciating a work of art, which was extremely absurd.
Staring at Luo Ji's constricted pupils, Zheng Gan was also preparing to reveal some shocking information. Although Luo Ji was not easy to fool, as long as he could always come up with things that subverted his worldview, he would not have to worry about not being able to defeat him.
"You may feel that all this is fake, because in your worldview, the future is uncertain and no one can predict it. Even if your heart has begun to waver, you are unwilling to believe that this is true."
As he was talking, a book suddenly appeared in Zheng Gan's hand. The book was not thick. Luo Ji vaguely saw the two big words "The Three-Body Problem" written on the cover of the book.
This is exactly the killer move Zheng Gan prepared for Luo Ji, the story of the Three-Body Problem!
The content of the book is exactly from the beginning of the story to the end when the water droplets destroy the Earth's United Fleet, no more, no less, just a little bit beyond the current timeline.
Handing the book to Luo Ji, Zheng Gan didn't say anything long, but just said casually:
"Believe me, this book will clear up your doubts. If you're still unsure about the arrival of the water droplets, you can pay close attention to recent developments on Earth.
The book records how many fleets, on which day, led by whom, and where they went to intercept the Trisolaran probe.
Professor, you are a smart man. I believe that after you have collected enough clues, you will be able to judge whether what I said is true or false."
After saying this, Zheng Gan walked back to his chair and sat down. The space around him gradually became blurry. With his arms crossed, Zheng Gan said finally:
"If the professor thinks what I said is correct, then I look forward to our next meeting. If it's early, maybe I can help humanity get rid of that water droplet!
The book I gave you is a keepsake. If needed, you can tear off a page and come to this space again.
Goodbye, Professor Luo Ji.
After saying this, Luo Ji returned to the real world as a vague feeling of time and space going backwards came over him.
Just after digesting the information in his mind, Luo Ji was surprised to find that the book that Zheng Gan gave him in that strange space actually appeared in his hands!
Staring at the book in his hand, Luo Ji was recalling what had just happened. Finally, Luo Ji made up his mind and opened the book "The Three-Body Problem" in his hand.
