Unlike Zheng Gan who was enjoying a leisurely and carefree time, Luo Ji, who had just returned to Trisolaran Earth from the trade space, was not in such a good mood.
He had read the book The Three-Body Problem that Zheng Gan gave him over and over again at least ten times in the past few days. The story was not long, and except for the last drop of water from the so-called Three-Body people which had not been confirmed, all other details were exactly the same as his own experience.
Even those parts that he had not experienced were confirmed after Luo Ji compared them with the data from Earth.
"Are we really characters in someone else's book? Are the so-called Earth and the so-called universe all fabricated by someone else?"
After learning the so-called truth, Luo Ji hadn't slept for three days and three nights. This event that shattered his own cognition and forcibly and violently shaped his own worldview was really hard for him to digest.
Even when he realized the truth of a corner of the universe in the cold lake, it was not as great an impact as the book in his hand now.
"Three-body universe, three-body universe!"
Luo Ji kept repeating this word in his mouth, tightly clutching the book "The Three-Body Problem" given to him by Zheng Gan. If he was really just a character in the book, then what would it matter even if he mastered the truth of the universe?
Is it possible that the creator outside the book can completely destroy their universe by simply tearing off a corner of the page like a child?
The so-called human beings and the so-called Three-Body Problem are really ridiculous!
Luo Ji, whose mentality was broken by Zheng Gan's book, no longer looked like a wise man. Instead, he was in a strange madness.
His eyes seemed to be burning with a flame, and this flame seemed to burn away this false world and peek into the real universe.
Just when Luo Ji locked himself in the room and was lost in thought, a quick doorbell rang, pulling him back from the brink of delusion.
The surface world is not as advanced as the underground world, and the residences are no different from those of that era.
As soon as he opened the door, Luo Ji saw Shi Qiang with a nervous look on his face. Shi Qiang also saw Luo Ji, who was haggard because he had been thinking about the truth of the world.
"You...this...?"
Shi Qiang was about to speak when he was interrupted by Luo Ji.
"Why, has the Trisolaran probe arrived?"
Hearing Luo Ji's question, Shi Qiang nodded heavily, and then said:
"As expected of you, you were able to guess this kind of confidential information half a month in advance! Fleet International has already dispatched all of its star-class warships to intercept the Trisolaran probe!"
The plot was unfolding according to the established trajectory in the book. Luo Ji struggled to suppress the rage in his heart, and then asked:
"Where's the Natural Selection?"
Although he didn't understand why Luo Ji had been trying to find out about Natural Selection, Shi Qiang still told him the truth:
"Indeed, there's a warship in the fleet heading out this time called the Natural Selection, and the captain's name seems to be something like Zhang..."
"Zhang Beihai."
"Yes, that's Zhang Beihai. Don't you know that? Why are you asking me?"
Shi Qiang didn't doubt that there was anything wrong with Luo Ji, so he took over the topic from Luo Ji.
"Lao Luo, do you think the human fleet will win this time?"
Looking at the sky outside the window, Luo Ji rarely spoke a word. He just stared blankly at the sun in the sky.
After a long while, Luo Ji came back to his senses and said to Shi Qiang beside him:
"Humanity will win!"
......
In the plane trading space, Zheng Gan, who had received the news that Luo Ji would come to see him soon, also sat in front of the screen early waiting for Luo Ji.
At night, as Luo Ji tore off the first page of "The Three-Body Problem" in his hand, his consciousness seemed to enter a chaotic and vast place.
Looking at the familiar scenes around him, Luo Ji quickly walked to the place where he first met Zheng Gan.
Unlike last time, this time Luo Ji saw Zheng Gan sitting in a pavilion, fiddling with tea sets in his hands, as if he was making tea.
Zheng Gan also saw Luo Ji coming and waved to him.
"Professor Luo Ji, come and sit down."
Walking to Zheng Gan's side, Luo Ji sat down very generously without saying a word, just watching Zheng Gan making tea in front of him quietly.
After pouring a cup of brewed tea and pushing it in front of Luo Ji, Zheng Gan also made a gesture of invitation and then said:
"I wonder what Professor Luo Ji wants to know from me this time."
After taking a sip of the tea, it wasn't very tasty, but Luo Ji had a strange feeling. He could clearly feel that his consciousness must have come to this space through some means, but the tea in his hand made him feel as if he had actually drunk the tea.
However, Luo Ji did not dwell on these aspects. He put down his teacup and said to Zheng Gan calmly:
"Boss Zheng should understand why I'm here."
Zheng Gan, who had been smiling brightly, suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard Luo Ji call him Boss Zheng. "Um, just call me Zheng Gan, or Old Zheng, but there's no need for Boss or anything like that."
Although he didn't understand why Zheng Gan was so averse to the word "boss", since all businessmen wanted to be bosses, Luo Ji naturally wouldn't make things difficult for himself, so he changed his tone.
"Then I won't keep you in suspense. The water droplet has already reached the solar system. Old Zheng, do you have any solutions?"
"oh?"
After taking a sip of tea, Zheng Gan was a little surprised. Although he roughly knew the timeline, he didn't expect that the water droplet would come so quickly and had already reached the Milky Way.
