Chapter 160 Immigration Plan
The 60rd year of the Deterrence Era, 2275 AD.
"Today marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Deterrence mechanism. President Luo Congmin of the Earth Federation arrived at the observatory near Neptune's orbit yesterday and, as usual, had a friendly exchange with the Trisolarans."
"In his conversation with Zhizi, Luo Congmin stated that promoting the common prosperity of the two civilizations is the primary goal of peaceful development. Human civilization and the Trisolaran civilization should learn from each other, support each other, and make progress together in the fields of humanities and technology. They also discussed the immigration issue raised by the Trisolaran world."
"The leaders of both sides exchanged in-depth views on immigration issues and enhanced their mutual understanding. This meeting is beneficial to all mankind and the Trisolaran world."
Lin Xuan lay on the sofa, watching the news report on TV, and couldn't help but purse her lips.
"It seems that the negotiations between the two sides did not go very smoothly this time."
Shock level from Wang Miao +15.
Wang Miao was taken aback when he heard Lin Xuan's words.
"How did you know?"
Lin Xuan pointed to the television news in front of her.
"Let me teach you a trick for reading the news. When it comes to news about meetings between two leaders, if the report says that they had a cordial and friendly conversation, then it means that the meeting is likely to go through. If it says that they had a frank conversation, then it means that they have big differences. If it only says that they exchanged opinions, then it means that they were talking past each other and there was no possibility of any real discussion."
"I see!"
Wang Miao suddenly realized what was going on.
"What about people like them, engaging in in-depth exchanges of opinions?"
"That means not only did we not see eye to eye, but we were even completely unable to communicate."
"Including the later statements about how the talks enhanced mutual understanding and were beneficial to both sides, etc., all of this just indicates one thing—the talks broke down!"
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, the louvered door in the room was unlocked from the outside, and Luo Congmin rushed in from outside and headed straight for the bathroom.
Clearly, she had been holding it in since the start of the meeting. No wonder she looked so uncomfortable during the live broadcast; I thought the Trisolarans had made some outrageous demands.
"Oh, poor child," Wang Miao said with a smile.
Luo Congmin didn't actually need to be president; she was completely forced into the position.
There was no way around it; after becoming the Swordholder, Luo Ji had become the most prestigious and powerful person in all of humanity.
With the added benefit of Lin Xuan's potions, the era of deterrence may last for a thousand years without ending.
People went from being grateful to Luo Ji at the beginning, to respecting Luo Ji later, and now to fearing Luo Ji. Soon, they will also evolve to the final stage... questioning Luo Ji.
In order to deal with this situation, Luo Congmin, as Luo Ji's only daughter, naturally had to take on her responsibilities.
Having her serve as the sole president of the Earth Alliance would effectively appease Luo Ji, or to put it more accurately... deter Luo Ji.
For the Trisolarans, Luo Congmin was the only breakthrough point for Luo Ji, the Swordholder, so they were naturally happy to let Luo Congmin take power.
Not to mention the people at the bottom of society, after Luo Congmin came to power, he proposed a large number of policies to benefit the people. Some of these policies even touched the interests of the upper-class financial groups, but they were still adopted.
Because she is the daughter of the Swordholder, even conglomerates dare not confront her head-on.
Whether you say she's trying to win people over or taking revenge, the lower classes have indeed benefited from the policy.
The spirit of robbing the rich to help the poor is vividly embodied in Luo Congmin.
In this way, the powerful want to use Luo Congmin to deal with Luo Ji, the Trisolarans want to make Luo Congmin the breakthrough point for the Swordholder, and the common people enjoy the preferential policies brought by this president.
Almost all three parties wanted her to continue as president, but she herself did not want to continue.
Just like Luo Ji, who lost his Wallfacer status, even without the title of President of the Earth Alliance, her power as the daughter of the Swordholder is still immense. Therefore, her re-election is entirely due to the political needs of the three parties.
Lin Xuan smiled and said this after Luo Congmin came out of the bathroom.
"How did the talks go, Your Excellency President?"
Luo Congmin took off his suit jacket and tossed it aside, then picked up a sea blue fruit from the table and began to eat it in large bites.
Sea blue fruit is a new type of fruit cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and it tastes very good.
Because it is entirely blue and grows under extremely harsh conditions, it can only be found in the Northwest of the Sealess New Territories, in the Tianshan Mountains.
When it is in bloom, it looks like a blue ocean from a distance, hence its name.
After showing off three or four Sea Blue Fruits, Luo Congmin finally spoke.
"The talks broke down completely."
"What exactly happened? Why did the Trisolarans suddenly decide to immigrate to Earth?" Wang Miao asked curiously.
"This story begins with the Cradle Project. After the Cradle Project failed, the most serious cultural conflict in the history of the Trisolaran world erupted. There were more than 30 political parties within the world alone, with different beliefs, different personalities, and even different genders."
"Wait a minute, I can understand the first two, but what the hell is this 'different gender' thing?" Wang Miao exclaimed in shock.
"Literally speaking, after learning about our culture, the Trisolaran world experienced an intellectual enlightenment movement. Although they also underwent a radical transformation in technology as a result, their cultural awakening skipped several stages. Ultimately, this led to the superposition of repulsive forces across eras, and problems erupted in a concentrated manner."
"The repulsive force of the times?"
"A term coined by historians refers to the disharmony between the policies of your time and the economic level at that time. The greater the disharmony, the greater the repulsive force."
"For example, one very obvious and important reason for the development of humankind from primitive society to slavery is that the abundance of production materials led to a small number of people beginning to centralize power and control a large amount of resources."
"For example, our break away from the feudal system was also due to a fundamental change in the productive forces and means of production."
"The Trisolarans' original productivity was far below their threshold for progress, so their previous social system was mainly based on 12 governors as the rulers, and the lower classes reproduced their race in a way similar to an ant colony."
"Low? The Trisolarans' productivity is low?" Wang Miao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It depends on how you compare them. Compared to us, they are indeed behind. This is not based on the total production of both sides, but on the relations of production. Their star system environment is very harsh, which directly leads to the slow progress of their civilization system. If their political model were placed in human society, it would be about the same level as the Shang Dynasty."
Wang Miao immediately understood what Luo Congmin meant.
"So...we were utterly defeated by a civilization using systems from thousands of years ago?"
"You can understand it this way: the Trisolarans don't even have any religious beliefs. You can imagine how primitive their social system must be. But now, after introducing our ideas, which are several versions ahead of theirs, their entire social system has indeed experienced a technological explosion. Of course, their social system has also exploded at the same time."
"The most typical point is that the Trisolarans have started to value human rights, even to an excessive degree, which is somewhat similar to the United States in the past."
"So their weakness is the same as the US: they can dominate when things are going well, but they crumble easily when things are going against them. Their internal problems alone are enough to give them a hard time."
"I think I understand... but it still feels a bit outrageous." Although Wang Miao is not formally trained in sociology, he has seen a lot over the years and can grasp many things quickly.
"And it's strange, I can't quite put my finger on it, but I always have this feeling that there are our spies among the Trisolarans..."
As Luo Congmin said this, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Xuan.
"There's a jammer, Zhizi can't get in, it's fine."
Hearing this, Luo Congmin finally felt relieved.
"It is true that the Trisolarans learned a lot of humanities knowledge, but much of this knowledge is contradictory or has potential drawbacks."
"Taking the essence and synthesizing the dregs, is that it?"
Luo Congmin nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean. It's like they have a human spy within their ranks who keeps leading what they've learned in the wrong direction. And I reckon this person isn't low-ranking; they must be at least an administrator. Otherwise, they shouldn't be able to have such a significant impact on the cultural conflict in the entire Trisolaran world."
Lin Xuan quickly changed the subject.
Alright, stop talking. You're practically reciting Yun Tianming's ID number.
Yun Tianming's effects were far more powerful than Lin Xuan had imagined.
Sure enough, it was a good thing to have instilled more knowledge in this child before. If it were the original Yun Tianming, he probably wouldn't have caused so many troubles.
"And because of this, the Trisolaran world seems to have realized their internal problems, so they plan to carry out a major purge."
"Yes, just as you think. Before the situation deteriorates completely, the Trisolaran leader plans to carry out a thorough purge of the Trisolarans whose ideologies have been corrupted."
"But this kind of purge can only be used on the middle and lower classes. Once some elite Trisolarans are purged, the speed of Trisolaran technological development will be severely restricted."
"That's why they had the idea of migrating to Earth, wanting to bring this part of the elite class to Earth for temporary refuge, and then take them back to their home planet after the cleansing is completed."
"Didn't they give you any benefits?" Lin Xuan asked.
“They gave it, and it was quite generous. Otherwise, this kind of meeting wouldn’t have been reported directly to me; it would have been rejected at the Senate stage.”
"But I still refused. The reason is simple: just like you said, I don't trust them."
Luo Congmin has this good quality: she listens to advice, but she also has her own judgment.
Cheng Xin has this one bad point: she listens to advice, but she listens to everyone who advises her.
It can be said that 90% of Cheng Xin's mistakes were caused by listening to advice.
She listened to everyone's advice and ran for the Swordholder, extinguishing the deterrent effect established by Luo Ji. Later, she listened to advice again and actually went to stop Wade, leading to the destruction of all mankind.
Even when she was finally escaping, she was still listening to advice and ran away after listening to Luo Ji's advice.
"The Trisolarans definitely have ulterior motives, but we have too little information to analyze what they are. You'll have to wait for me to meet someone."
……
Three days later, on Mount Kunlun.
Inside the same small house built by Ziyun, Lin Xuan sat in the chair, waiting for Zhizi's arrival.
Back then, it was here that he used a trick to get something for nothing, deceiving the Trisolarans into giving away three of their most important technologies, and incidentally assisting Luo Ji in completing the deterrence work.
Today, he will once again engage in a remote duel with the Trisolarans.
After waiting for about half an hour, Tomoko, dressed in a kimono, slowly walked into the house and knelt down opposite Lin Xuan.
Her face still wore that extremely friendly fake smile.
