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

Chapter 188 Hibernation

When Luo Congmin returned home, he saw from afar that Radiaz, wearing power armor, was holding an oversized electromagnetic cannon to someone's head.

In front of him, there were about thirty people kneeling on the ground, locked in electronic shackles. Some of them even had their arms bent into pretzel shapes, and their bodies were covered with wounds from electromagnetic weapons.

"what happened?"

Luo Congmin had already resumed his aloof demeanor. His gaze swept over the group of people on the ground, and his heart sank.

"They came to assassinate you, but their intelligence seems to have been a bit off; they didn't expect you to be out of the house tonight."

When Radiaz saw the main character return, he put away the electromagnetic cannon in his hand and carried it on his back. He then casually threw the cigarette butt out of his mouth at one of the people on the head, sending sparks flying.

"Where are they all from?"

Luo Congmin stepped forward, squatted down, lifted one of the people's chins, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she did not recognize the person.

She knew that her support for warp drive spaceships would certainly displease some Earth Federation officials.

Even the Trisolarans would be dissatisfied with her actions.

Therefore, assassination attempts against him would come from all sides and would be continuous.

To deal with this situation, the guards led by Rediaz stayed with him almost 24 hours a day.

This time, however, they did not accompany her when she went to see her mother, since Zhuang Yan's side had much stricter security than hers.

This gave the assassins completely false information, leading them to believe that they were still at home.

"We haven't interrogated you yet, but it's most likely one of those companies. After all, they've been planning to take action against you for a long time, they've just been looking for an opportunity."

Rediaz reached out and grabbed one of the men by the back of his neck. The immense grip from the power armor caused the man to scream in agony.

"Ask them about their background and investigate who's behind them," Luo Congmin said casually, seemingly unconcerned.

"Don't worry, I have many ways to get these guys to talk."

Radiaz let out a chilling laugh, which sent a shiver down the spines of the captured assassins.

"Well, I'll leave the rest of the work to you. Please be gentle with your methods; I don't want to be assassinated every day."

Luo Congmin emphasized the word "gentle" in his speech, making his meaning all too clear.

She never shows mercy to her enemies. Her rise to the presidency is not only due to her father's status as the Swordholder, but also to her ruthless and merciless methods of killing.

……

The next day, when people passed by the Dilian Building and looked up at the top of the building, they were immediately awestruck.

Hundreds of portraits of the former members of the local liaison committee were neatly displayed on the front of the building. Under the sunlight, the black and white photos gleamed, forming an eerie scene.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was someone's ancestral hall that had been moved here. The entire wall is covered with ancestral tablets, making the Dilian Building look like a memorial hall for fallen heroes.

Passersby were afraid that the people in these photos would suddenly appear next to them and ask, "Are you my master?"

"With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to our colleagues who tragically lost their lives in this accident. All that they did for humanity will be recorded in history. May the glory of humankind endure forever!"

After Luo Congmin finished reading the final eulogy with a heavy heart, the remaining officials present bowed their heads in silence.

But at this moment, their minds were frantically processing Lin Xuan's shock.

This morning, hundreds of local liaison committee members died tragically in their homes due to sudden accidents.

They all died in the same way: by suicide.

But who would believe that!

People aren't stupid. Although they don't know how Radiaz bypassed the guards of these Earth Alliance officials, they were indeed assassinated on the same night.

These deceased Earth Alliance officials all shared a common characteristic: they had all plotted to assassinate Luo Congmin. However, Luo Congmin was not killed; instead, their entire gang was wiped out.

It's a lie to say that this will make others not afraid.

How many troops does Luo Congmin still control, and where are they hiding?

The members of the Earth Federation were all secretly wondering what was going on. They planned to check their guard units for clones as soon as they got home.

Nowadays, human cloning technology is quite advanced, and without special instruments, it is difficult to detect the differences between them and normal people.

The reason it didn't cause much panic is entirely because clones have been completely deprived of their ability to think independently.

They are just like Cheng Xing, the artificial intelligence created by Yun Tianming. Although they can easily pass the Turing test, without anyone giving them orders and without subjective initiative, they are just a group of tools.

You wouldn't be afraid that a shovel might suddenly develop its own consciousness and come to kill you, would you?

But precisely because of this, it becomes extremely difficult to identify them.

Apart from the presidents and the swordholders who had operational authority, no one else could discern their exact location.

This is also why a democratic system like the United Nations would have a president.

With the support of technology, individual combat power has become far more terrifying.

If Lin Xuan wished, he could even create an immortal being.

That is, transferring a consciousness from one body to another at will through the Hyperdream Database.

It is even possible to set a specific decoder for this consciousness. As long as someone triggers this setting, their consciousness will directly descend into that person's body.

As long as someone keeps triggering the decoder's activation conditions, this consciousness will become the most terrifying virus, and it will never be killed.

To truly embody the spirit of "I think, therefore I am!"

But Lin Xuan wouldn't dare to push the technology tree so low; that would be like maxing out idealism, which would truly lead to spiritual ascension and the mind conquering all things.

And so, those hundreds of portraits remained hanging on the roof of the Dilian Building for a full seven days before being taken down.

From then on, no one dared to harm Luo Congmin.

For as long as three or four months, when the local federation held meetings, all the committee members remained silent, not uttering a word, for fear that they would become the next target to be purged.

The construction of the warp drive spacecraft continued to move forward under Luo Congmin's almost ruthless approach.

Meanwhile, the Star Ring Group also performed admirably. After withstanding a wave of public pressure, the Star Ring Group successfully joined forces with Luo Congmin to reverse the decline and set the construction of the 100 warp spaceships as the first batch of mass-produced spaceship projects.

After seeing that his plan was progressing smoothly, Wade, who had been hiding behind the scenes, chose to step down and let Ai AA take over all the work of the Star Ring Group.

No one knows where Wade went; he, along with the officials who wanted to oppose the construction of the warp drive, chose to go into hiding.
