Chapter 224 Vader
Inside PIA, as soon as Luo Ji entered, he found something wrong here.

Unlike the scientific research building you might imagine, this is actually an old building built in the late 18th century.

Solid and heavy, like a large piece of granite.

He didn’t arrive too early, as a large number of people had already arrived here and were immersed in their work.

But this job was different from what he had imagined.

Unlike other institutions that study aerospace engines and the universe, the people in this institution do not seem to focus on the sky, but instead pay more attention to the Internet.

Large groups of people staring at long lists of changing data reminded him of those hackers in the movies who could take on the entire world with just a flick of their fingers.

Of course, if it were just that, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

After all, the future is the information age, and even the Trisolaran spies on Earth have to go online, right?

Otherwise, what is this Three-Body Game all about?

Although it has now been proven that the game device itself is harmless, it does not prevent people from being afraid of it.

Just like water is drinkable, but dihydrogen monoxide is highly toxic.

香蕉能吃，但成分是：纯净水(75%).糖(12%):【葡萄糖(48%)、果糖(40%).(2%)、麦芽糖(<1%)1.淀粉(5%)………的玩意不能吃一样。

However, Luo Ji did not understand why in such an intelligence agency there were fortune tellers, shamans, and crystal ball players. He even saw people dressed in ancient alchemy costumes.

Damn, what is this? Are you asking ghosts and gods instead of science?

Or has it been that those people who were playing with mind control and super powers finally made a breakthrough?

“I say, is this really PIA?” Luo Ji said to himself.

“Hello, you must be Dr. Luo Ji, I am Cheng Xin, today I will show you the various tasks of PIA.”

Just then, a voice sounded from the side, um, it was speaking Chinese.

The first time he saw Cheng Xin, Luo Ji was sure that this was not his type, and was even far from his dream lover.

Especially with the addition of a layer of colleague’s debuff.

“I don’t think this is a fight against the Trisolarans.”

Rather than looking at the stars, Luo Ji guessed that people here would prefer to surf the Internet.

If you don’t know him, you might think he has joined some big Internet company. He has so little hair, and he might make a fortune selling wigs outside.

“That’s right, this is not just to fight against the Trisolarans.” As he said this, he took Luo Ji to an office and took out a lot of information.

PIA, Planetary Defense Directorate Strategic Intelligence Agency, focuses on intelligence.

But the key point is that with their current level of technology, let alone detecting intelligence about the Trisolarans, they have never even seen what the Trisolarans look like.

Maybe the Trisolarans on the Trisolaran planet accidentally became extinct, and when they arrived on the Trisolaran planet, they would directly mistake their pets for Trisolarans.

But there are none far away, but there are some nearby!
There is no need to go to the sky or reach a certain fraction of the speed of light. All you need to do is monitor all networks and discover any anomalies on this planet.

Looking at the information in his hand, Luo Ji was stunned for a moment, then asked:

“Are you so sure he exists? How is this different from Carl Sagan’s dragon?”

Considering that most of the people here are “professionals”, Luo Ji did not use more common words like he usually did to deceive the little girl. Carl Sagan’s Dragon: In simple terms, Carl Sagan said that there was a fire-breathing dragon in the garage, but people did not believe it. Carl Sagan explained: Why can’t you see it? Because it is invisible; why can’t you touch it? Because the dragon will virtualize its body…

In short, there will always be another “argumentative person” to prove that this dragon exists.

If they must prove that this “dragon” exists, he might as well pay attention to some exotic customs.

“Yes, but we have evidence that he exists in reality.”

“what?”

“Well, of course, these are all encrypted. You can’t take them out, and don’t leak them. Otherwise, you will be standing against all of humanity.”

“Fine!”

After receiving the information passed by Cheng Xin, Luo Ji first glanced at it casually, then read it word by word, and then closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Among these paper documents, the most striking thing is of course the weapon that appeared abnormally in a place where it should not be.

The second is the theory left behind.

In addition, there are recent problems such as global warming, multiple collapses, and the disappearance of small amounts of ground.

In addition, the most important thing is the intelligence of the Trisolarans and the current “public opinion” on the Internet.

That’s right, public opinion is the first step for them to actively discover this life. They found that the current resistance to “escapism” on the Internet is too small.

This question of who stays and who goes is always a major problem at any time, but now it has become a minor issue.

But when they wanted to trace the source of this public opinion, they found nothing.

It was as if someone was hidden in the layers of information, and Sitting Alone on Diaoyutai was directly guiding them in another direction.

But when they wanted to turn it upside down to find it out, they suddenly discovered that it was actually they themselves who actually eliminated this kind of public opinion?

Not to mention the East, even the West is gradually becoming humanized because of the Trisolarans and data life.

Indeed, it would have been fine if we didn’t notice it at first, but later on when we discovered that there might be such a real “Lord”, it was better to be more restrained.

Especially since the original Tomoko was destroyed in such an unclear way.

“Are you sure this was caused by that life form, and not some Trisolaran?”

“That’s right! You don’t have enough authority, but from the intelligence I’ve obtained, the Trisolarans are now extremely weak on this planet, not much stronger than a bug. In comparison, a life that has the ability to directly control the entire cyber world, what he can do is unimaginable to normal people.”

The two looked towards the door and saw a relatively young man.

At least he is much younger than those other “programmers” who look 80 but are actually in their twenties.

“I’m Thomas Wade, the director of PIA, Dr. Luo Ji. I’ve seen the theory you published. It’s very valuable, but you shouldn’t have published it like this.”

“You mean…” Although it sounded a bit outrageous, Wade was the first to believe this thing that even Luo Ji himself didn’t dare to imagine.

“If the Trisolarans know this theory, it’s fine. But if they don’t know it, then it will become a sword that stabs us in the future!”

　Suddenly I found out that the Crisis Era started in 201x. In the novel world, there are already virtual worlds, ball lightning, macro electronics and a bunch of other messy stuff⊙_⊙
