Three-body: The Most Competent Wallfacer in History

Jiang Yu's fleet, as usual, ended their light-speed travel six thousand astronomical units away from the Enbo Star System.

Then after more than half a year's voyage, they arrived at the capital of the Enbo Star System.

Here, Jiang Yu also received a warm welcome.

Ever since Jiang Yu announced he would bring his fleet for a visit, the Enbo Star System no longer raised the issue of independence.

The Solar System State, although granting considerable political autonomy to the six Federal Star Systems, did not share any military technology nor did it open trade in military equipment.

In previous journeys, the military technology of the six Federal Star Systems had already fallen far behind the Solar System State, and the Solar System State's technology embargo further widened this gap.

So Jiang Yu dared to visit these star systems with just six hundred warships because that was more than enough.

Most people of the Enbo Star System sincerely welcomed Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu's deeds had taken on a mythical aura in these star systems, and even without the myths, his achievements were enough to earn him the respect due to a great person.

The portion of the population that yearned for independence did so because it aligned with their interests.

Now, with the Enbo Star System subordinate to the Solar System State in affairs of trade and politics, it was easy for Enbo to be at a disadvantage, especially with the Governing Council continuously suppressing the interests of the established beneficiaries.

Therefore, the rulers hoped that after independence, they could achieve a status equal to that of the Solar System State, ending such a disadvantageous position.

In the past, with the Enbo Star System far from the New Continent Star System, they could engage in minor maneuvers.

Now with Jiang Yu bringing his warships, no matter what thoughts they harbored, they had to put on smiling faces to welcome Jiang Yu.

The architecture of the Enbo Star System was much more aesthetically pleasing than that of Starship Earth, embodying the architectural style of the Crisis Final Years.

The business model also presented a more diversified state, appearing much busier than Starship Earth.

The fact that many people found such political achievements appealing is one reason; the original inhabitants of this star system were about three times the original population of Starship Earth, and now it had grown into a large group with several hundred thousand people.

The first settlers here came from the "arrogant" Crisis Final Years; they had only heard of the Uranus battle but had no deep feelings about that battle.

They had not experienced the "Second Battle" or the "New Continent Battle" and, to be precise, had not been baptized by an interstellar conflict.

Therefore, their demands on life and views of the universe were still roughly in line with the crisis-free days of the Crisis Final Years.

This is the biggest difference between the Enbo Star System and Starship Earth.

After the welcome banquet ended late, Jiang Yu went to the hotel room arranged for him to rest.

Compared to the pragmatic hotels of Starship Earth, the hotels in the Enbo Star System appeared much higher grade and even a bit excessively luxurious.

Before going to sleep, Jiang Yu even discussed this point with Number Three, commenting on how the hotel rooms always exerted unnecessary effort in decoration and furniture.

Apart from aesthetics, they lacked practicality.

Number Three assured Jiang Yu that in the Solar System State, there were no hotels with such an inverted sense of priorities.

In the early days of its prosperity, most of the Solar System State's territory was in space, where accommodations had been compact for an extended period.

It was from that time that people developed an aesthetic preference for simplicity; they cared more about the functionality of furniture or appliances rather than unnecessary extravagance.

Jiang Yu joked, "The Enbo Star System seems a bit like a 'time fossil', inheriting the ostentatious bad habits of the Crisis Final Years."

After ending the conversation, Jiang Yu returned to the bedroom and quickly fell asleep.

Not long after he had lain down, a restless alarm sound woke Jiang Yu.

In a state of half-sleep, Jiang Yu dressed with the help of a robot.

Once he left the room, he finally came to his senses.

The nightwatchman Belinsky approached to report, "We've just observed that the Enbo Star System is about to suffer a light particle attack."

Jiang Yu was stunned for a second or two, "Light particle attack?"

He raged, "How could these idiots have exposed themselves?"

With the technology to hide tracking, the risk of the human world being exposed was very small.

Although this technology had not yet become widespread in the Federal Star Systems, these systems had few people and few tracks, making the likelihood of exposure very small.

It must have been some mischievous acts that led to the exposure of the Enbo Star System!

Armed robots led the way, Jiang Yu and his entourage proceeded to the Spaceport in an orderly fashion.

Only after sitting in the shuttle did Jiang Yu think, "Could this be a method conceived by the Enbo Star System to keep me here?"

The streets were already in chaos as everyone anxiously headed to the Spaceport. Soon there was a car accident, which blocked the road.

However, the shuttle carrying Jiang Yu and others had more advanced anti-gravity devices, so they simply flew into mid-air and continued on unimpeded.

Belinsky, who was in the same shuttle as Jiang Yu, said, "That shouldn't be the case. Everyone knows that light particles can't keep us here."

The process of a light particle attack usually spans a few months to about a year. If humanity was still at the level of the Crisis Era, or even the Broadcasting Era, it would pay a hefty price.

But after the Shelter Era, not only were there refuges to dodge into, but the curvature engines of the Solar System State also began mass production, and humanity developed the capability for large-scale interstellar colonization.

At this point, whether one wanted to run or stay, they were not afraid of light particles.

Jiang Yu pondered again before saying, "Could it be that they want to declare independence while fleeing to a new star system?"

"That's hard to say," Belinsky responded. "After all, once they're out in space, they won't be under our control."

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and then said to the computer in the vehicle, "Connect me with Governor Tyron."

Tyron Enpo, the third Governor of the Enbo Star System, was the second grandson of the former commander of the Ninth Fleet, Enpo.

As soon as the video call connected, Jiang Yu immediately dismissed his previous speculation.

Because Tyron looked panicked, with an evasive gaze, and when he opened his mouth, he couldn't even speak clearly, "Wa, Wallfacer, Dark Forest Strike! What should we do?"

Jiang Yu believed his own judgment was quite accurate and if Tyron's current behavior was an act, Jiang Yu would have no complaints even if he had been duped.

Jiang Yu calmly said, "It's a light particle attack, not some unfamiliar Dark Forest Strike.

"Didn't the Governing Council send out emergency refuge guidelines for light particle attacks a long time ago?"

Tyron was taken aback, "There... there's such a document?"

Jiang Yu's face turned steely, and he simply started issuing commands, "First, gather information!

"How long until the light particles hit the star? Where are the emergency escape ships in the Enbo Star System? Which ships do people need to take to evacuate?"

Tyron gradually calmed down and immediately went to contact his staff.

But soon he reported with a sense of helplessness, "The Governor's government is essentially paralyzed, and furthermore, the number of escape ships, um..."

Jiang Yu was stunned, "Don't tell me there aren't enough ships for everyone to escape!"

Regarding escape ships, the Governing Council of the Solar System State had clear regulations.

Every star accelerator in any star system had to be capable of evacuating everyone from that system.
