Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 209 Another Choice

Ultimately, both sides finalized the plan for the Three-Body Civilization to relocate a year later.

At that time, the Carbon-Based Federation will dispatch a transport fleet to wait for the arrival of the Trisolaran Second Fleet in the outer layer of the nebula.

This is mainly because once the Trisolaran colonization begins, they will definitely choose to expose their coordinates with Earth, delivering a fatal blow to Earth, their old adversary who has been fighting the Trisolaran civilization for nearly two hundred years.

If we do this, then the arrival of the Dark Forest Strike will be unknown; it could happen on the first day, or it could happen in the first year.

Even without revealing the coordinates, large-scale migrations would attract the attention of advanced civilizations, and the warp drive's trajectory would act as a guiding light, revealing the exact coordinates of the entire Trisolaran fleet to the universe.

Some advanced civilizations that have mastered cosmic star maps could launch another level of Dark Forest attack against the fleeing fleet by following the trajectory left behind by the fleet.

Therefore, the safest approach is to first initiate Project Ark, allowing the Trisolarans to migrate out of their home planet on a large scale. Then, wait for the Second Fleet to dock with the Carbon-Based Federation's transport fleet, receive the Trisolarans, and put them into jump mode to quickly leave the nebula.

In this way, even if an advanced civilization discovers the warp drive traces left by Project Ark, it will completely lose its tracking clues upon reaching the star cluster.

This is like when the enemy predicts that it will take you an hour to walk to a certain area, but you choose to take a taxi halfway there. This will cause the enemy to make a huge error in calculating your movements, and it can also avoid the Dark Forest attack that may come when you are on the run.

The most difficult aspects of Project Ark are actually twofold.

First, the Trisolarans' evacuation must not be known to Earth civilization.

If Earth's civilization learns in advance of the Trisolaran civilization's intention to evacuate, it is very likely that Earth will initiate a broadcast before Earth, causing its location to be exposed prematurely, thus thwarting all its efforts.

The second point is how the Trisolarans can completely prevent human civilization from escaping the solar system.

Once the broadcast is activated and the Trisolaran civilization suffers a blow, Earth's civilization will surely follow suit and escape the solar system.

They have the capability; the construction of RimWorld will be completed in about a year. If humanity on Earth is not completely destroyed by the Dark Forest attack, they will definitely launch a frenzied revenge against the Trisolaran civilization.

This potential threat must be nipped in the bud.

Otherwise, even if the Trisolarans agree, the Carbon-Based Federation will not.

The reason the Carbon-Based Federation was willing to accept them was because they posed no threat whatsoever. Once the suppression of the Dependency Theory was established, the Trisolarans would never be able to turn their lives around.

However, if Earth's civilization also knows about the Trisolaran civilization, then in the future, Earth's civilization might grow into a civilization even more terrifying than the Trisolaran civilization, or even the entire Carbon-Based Federation.

Then the entire Carbon-Based Federation will be destroyed because it harbored the Trisolaran civilization.

Therefore, to avoid this risk, the Trisolarans can escape, but they must clean up their mess; otherwise, the Carbon-based Federation will most likely back out.

As for sending the Carbon-Based Federation to attack Earth's civilization to eliminate future troubles, the Trisolarans don't have that much influence.

Rather than confronting another civilization, the Carbon-Based Federation is more likely to abandon the Trisolaran civilization altogether and attempt to broadcast its coordinates, using it as a pawn to kill the enemy.

After much deliberation, the Trisolaran leader finally came up with a solution that satisfied both sides.

"Tell Zhizi to spread the word to the Earthlings about the Dark Domain."

Blacklisting is a security declaration that conveys the message that one is safe by self-censoring to ensure that one can never escape.

This is one way to defend against the Dark Forest attack, but it is not an absolutely effective method. After all, some civilizations will still attack even if they see the Dark Forest covering them.

For them, it's just a pastime to pass the time.

It's as easy as accidentally flooding an ant nest with water.

This is one of the main reasons why the Trisolarans don't use the Dark Domain to avoid attacks, because if they did, it would be tantamount to handing over their life and death to others.

Now, under Vader's impetus, Earth is single-mindedly building a ring world, preparing to gain the ability to escape the solar system at any time.

This is not what the Trisolarans want to see.

They must offer humanity a more convenient option, making them hesitate and choose between the Dark Realm and the Ring World.

As for what the other party will choose, that's not important. What's important is that once humans have a second option, they will hesitate.

Therefore, the Trisolarans had long ago devised a plan to curb human civilization.

If only the RimWorld is told that escape is possible, or only the Dark Side is told, Earth's civilization will be safe. But if both are told, humanity will inevitably turn against each other and another conflict will break out.

In the original storyline, the Trisolarans did the same thing, deliberately making humans hesitate. In reality, they didn't care what they chose!

Because there is never a completely correct path.

If you make the second choice, then the destruction of humanity is almost inevitable.
