Ye Wenjie, watch my moves closely.

Chapter 22 Appointment Letter

Cheng Lihua lunged forward like a madwoman, but the soldiers guarding her reacted quickly and pinned her down.

In the struggle, Cheng Lihua's hat fell off, her glasses were askew, and her disheveled hair made her look no different from a woman throwing a tantrum in the street.

So-called cultivation and composure vanish completely once the pretense is torn away.

Cheng Lihua was put into a small jeep, marking the end of her life.

But the fate of the Red Coast Base will not change.

The terrain of Radar Peak is narrow and not suitable for the future deployment of ultra-large radio telescopes.

The Red Coast Base has successfully completed its mission and it's time to pass the baton to those who come after it.

Li Youyu's transfer order arrived quickly, and the conspicuous red-headed document made him subconsciously start thinking about his next move.

In the original story, the proton was born around 2005, which is still 25 years away.

This 25-year window of opportunity is the best time for him to prepare for future wars.

Li Youyu has no advantage in scientific theory. He is no match for Yang Weining or Ye Wenjie, and he may not even be as good as the children who ask Ye Wenjie questions.

But he has one good point.

He knew the future direction of science.

He knew that chip manufacturing processes could be advanced from the micrometer level to the nanometer level, he knew that controlled nuclear fusion was feasible, and he knew that macroatoms existed that could turn people into ghosts.

He can provide the right direction, saving the academic community from spending a lot of time on trial and error.

In the real world, humanity has moved from the electronic age to the AI ​​age in just 25 years. In the Three-Body world, the speed of human scientific research is even more outrageous.

Wang Miao created nanomaterials that do not exist in reality in the early 2000s.

Not to mention someone as remarkable as Ding Yi.

With twenty-five years to go, Li Youyu can certainly go all out.

Today we hold the long spear in our hands, when will we bind the azure dragon!

In Qijiatun, Yang Weining also moved into Qi the Headhunter's house. He put down his mathematical formulas and esoteric professional terms, picked up a hoe and a sickle, and went up and down the mountain with the men of Qi the Headhunter's family to dig mushrooms and catch pheasants.

Ye Wenjie lived with Da Feng, the daughter-in-law of Qi the Headhunter.

Dafeng was a very energetic woman. Her two children were born less than half a month apart. Ye Wenjie was weak and didn't have enough breast milk, so Dafeng fed both of them. Every night, the two of them would sit by an oil lamp. Ye Wenjie would read, while Dafeng would do needlework. The two babies, both less than six months old, would sleep on the kang (a heated brick bed) next to her, their tiny noses making soft breathing sounds. They were incredibly cute. Ye Wenjie couldn't help but look at little Yangdong, at her chubby little hands and fuzzy cheeks. Sometimes, little Yangdong wouldn't sleep well and would suddenly pout and cry. Her pitiful look made Ye Wenjie's heart ache.

Da Feng said that the child was saying goodbye to his mother from his previous life. Ye Wenjie felt even more upset when she heard this, so she put down her book, bent down, held Xiao Yangdong's hand, and gently hummed a tune.

As a result, he read and reread a fifty-page document, and still hadn't finished it by the time winter was over.

The days flowed by peacefully and quietly, like the stream beside the village.

That blood-red dawn that betrayed the world became increasingly unreal in Ye Wenjie's memory; she even felt that the event was like a hallucination.

Can the sun really amplify radio waves? Have we really used the sun as an antenna to transmit information about human civilization into the universe?

Ye Wenjie was afraid to face her past self. She felt that she didn't deserve this kind of life because of what she had done.

She tried to numb herself with life in order to forget the past, and she almost succeeded. A strange instinct protected her, preventing her from recalling the past.

Even Yang Weining has become a simple farmer, often saying things that make her blush with embarrassment.

But just then, Li Youyu arrived.

He was like a grim reaper with a scythe, standing under the birch trees of Qijiatun on a cold spring morning.

After Xiao Yangdong was born, Li Youyu would often come, bringing rice, flour, cooking oil, and milk powder each time.

Ye Wenjie was very grateful to him.

Without his help, life would be very difficult for him and Lao Yang.

Today is the Awakening of Insects in 1981, a day when all things come to life and the yang energy rises.

The men in the village all went to the fields early to dig soil.

Ye Wenjie was holding her early-wake-up son, Yang Dong, in the yard watching the new buds. When she reached the front door and saw Li Youyu's back, her heart tightened.

She sensed a pang of unease, as if a beautiful dream was about to end.

Ye Wenjie carried Xiao Yangdong and walked over silently, only to see Li Youyu holding a file folder in his hand.

"Your father and you have been exonerated. This is a letter from Tsinghua University inviting you to return to work at the university. It also contains the back pay your father received after the policy was implemented."

Ye Wenjie looked at the letter she had longed for but never received, and remained calm, without any excitement or agitation.

She didn't even want to read the content.

She has no interest in the outside world.

She stared blankly at Li Youyu, knowing that this wasn't his true intention in coming to see her.

Ye Wenjie herself was unaware that her eyes were pleading as she looked at Li Youyu, begging him not to shatter the utopia she had created.

Li Youyu ignored her request and produced the top-secret document provided by the core layer.

"Ye Wenjie, it's time to wake up from this dream."

Ye Wenjie looked at it and saw the densely packed Tripartite characters on the document.

[Notice Regarding the Establishment of the Deep Space Research Department]

[1981] Science and Technology Confidential Document No. 001

Classification: Top Secret

In recent years, with the rapid development of deep space exploration and radio astronomy, my country has made a series of breakthroughs in astrophysics, cosmic signal analysis, and other fields. In particular, the deep space monitoring data accumulated by the Hongan Base since 1971 has revealed several astronomical anomalies that defy conventional understanding. These phenomena, after repeated verification, cross-comparison, and theoretical deduction, point to a very serious possibility: extraterrestrial civilizations objectively exist, and some signal characteristics exhibit potential technological threats.

To coordinate relevant scientific research forces across the entire academy and even the nation, systematically conduct research on extraterrestrial threat assessments and interstellar security defense theories and technologies, and safeguard the long-term strategic security of the nation and human civilization, the Party Group of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, after deliberation and with the approval of relevant national departments, has decided to formally establish:

Deep Space Research Department, Chinese Academy of Sciences

I. Purpose of Establishment

The Deep Space Research Department's fundamental mission is to defend against the Trisolaran civilization and other potential extraterrestrial threats, and to safeguard the survival of human civilization on a cosmic scale. Its core task is to integrate the strengths of multiple disciplines, including astronomy, physics, information science, and complex systems science, to systematically study the behavioral patterns, technological characteristics, and strategic intentions of extraterrestrial intelligent entities. This will enable the department to construct a theoretical framework and technological system for the identification, assessment, early warning, and defense of interstellar threats, providing scientific support for national and international responses to interstellar security challenges.

II. Main Responsibilities

Signal identification and threat assessment: All non-natural electromagnetic signals acquired by the Red Coast base and subsequent deep space monitoring networks...

[Instructions]

Comrades, this is no small matter. The issue of extraterrestrials, which was once considered science fiction, must now be viewed as science and strategy. We agree to establish this organization. The personnel must be highly skilled, secrecy must be strictly enforced, and the external name should be natural to avoid unnecessary discussion. Funding will be allocated separately, but it must not be extravagant. Let's get it running first and see how it goes.
