Three-body: The Most Competent Wallfacer in History

Chapter 602: Chapter 595: The Old Friend Has Ridden Away on the Yellow Crane_1



```

The Galactic Computer was like a "master of all trades," knowing everything: "As far as we are aware, two Trisolaran spaceships managed to escape.

"Their escape involved luck. One of the ships, which was about to enter curvature flight towards the Orion Constellation, received the news of humanity's sudden attack on the Trisolaran World.

"That ship quickly modified its course, evading the ambush that the Third Legion had set up at that time.

"The other ship, for unknown reasons, dropped out of lightspeed during its flight, which we suspect was due to the cautiousness of its captain.

"Anyway, they learned about the destruction of the New Trisolaran World while en route and calmly changed their course, heading toward the direction of the Virgo Constellation.

"The Third Legion once deployed ships in an attempt to pursue them, but without any success.

"Although some slipped through the net, this doesn't diminish the achievements of that battle. Since then, the Trisolaran race has become sparse and scattered and no longer poses any threat to humanity.

"Later, in Galactic Year 965 and Galactic Year 1221, as the Solar System State expanded, they discovered two star systems that had been minimally developed.

"Based on details, those traces are likely left by the Trisolarans.

"The two fleeing ships appear to have chosen these two star systems as bases to restock on energy and other minerals before continuing their escape.

"As these two bases are quite distant from each other, we surmise that the two ships did not meet up but instead chose their own paths of escape.

"Even though humanity went through a great depression, the centuries-long escape of the Trisolarans has left them far behind humanity in all respects.

"Moreover, with their small population, it is very difficult for them to develop a large-scale comprehensive civilization."

The Galactic Computer paused before adding: "Additionally, we suspect that a portion of the Trisolarans may still exist within the small universes they created.

"Currently, humanity does not possess the technology to locate the entrances to these mini universes, but those Trisolarans will still not pose a threat to future humanity.

"According to the intelligence we've gathered, time flows more quickly in these mini universes. Even if they hide for one hundred thousand years, Trisolaran technology will still be at the galactic fourth to fifth-century level.

"Meanwhile, we will have continued to develop, and by that time, it is very likely that humanity will have reached the level of a god-level civilization."

Jiang Yu smiled slightly, having heard many bad pieces of news from Wei Xiang, and now a great deal of good news from the Galactic Computer.

In any case, the current situation between humanity and the Trisolarans, compared with their original positions in the book, had been reversed.

In the original story, it was only humanity with two large spaceships, Starship Earth, that managed to escape, while the Trisolarans were relatively powerful.

Now, however, human civilization has developed into a high-end middle-level civilization, while the Trisolarans in the vast universe could only manage to escape in two ships shamefully.

Jiang Yu believed that such a change was largely due to his significant contribution!

He composed himself before asking again, "What about Zhang Beihai? Is he still alive?"

"Unfortunately, Zhang Beihai passed away due to illness on June 2, Galactic Year 982, and did not undergo consciousness preservation," the Galactic Computer said solemnly. "Although he was a foreigner, the Solar System State still held a state funeral for him.

"After you entered Consciousness Space, the hibernating Zhang Beihai awoke in Galactic Year 882, during the great depression. Disappointed, he decided to hibernate again.

"At that time, there were scattered uprisings throughout the Solar System State, and the Wallfacer Jiao Zuo, already planning armed resistance, asked for Zhang Beihai's assistance.

"Zhang Beihai joined the rebel forces and throughout the thirty years of the rebellion, he achieved much renown in the north and south, and many of the battles are now classic case studies at military academies.

"Especially the military philosophy 'Will determines the outcome' proposed by Zhang Beihai spread widely among humanity and followed Fleet Admiral Cao Yang to become another military magnate of humankind.

"I have also found recordings of Zhang Beihai mentioning you on many occasions, do you want me to play them?"

Jiang Yu's eyes blurred slightly: "I suppose he didn't have anything good to say about me, so never mind."

He feared it would evoke too many memories.

"No, Fleet Admiral Zhang Beihai always spoke highly of you," insisted the relentless Galactic Computer. "He frequently praised your unwavering will, always managing to turn decay into magic in the face of adversity."

Jiang Yu had been standing too long and wanted to sit down. Just as he was looking for a seat, a comfortable chair appeared beside him.

Just like the mirror by the bed earlier, the Galactic Computer had prepared everything for Jiang Yu without needing to be asked.

```

"Thank you," Jiang Yu sat down. "Did Zhang Beihai leave any last words?"

"Zhang Beihai's will mainly consists of three parts!" the Galactic computer said. "The first part is a brief recap of his life, during which he also mentioned you.

"He said, 'Lately, I often reminisce about my old friend Jiang Yu, and I wonder how he's doing in the Consciousness Space?

"He also said, 'Jiang Yu's aid to Starship Earth during the Dark Battle is something that Starship Earth will forever remember. I, personally, have also benefited. This has allowed me to have such an exciting life in the twilight of my years…'

"The second part of his will stipulates that he wished to be buried on Earth.

"The third part is his refusal to preserve his consciousness in any form.

"Like you, he believed that death is a part of life."

Jiang Yu nodded slightly. Zhang Beihai was able to re-establish the Solar System State and passed away as humanity was ascending the uphill path. He must have left in contentment.

He asked, "Where was Zhang Beihai buried?"

"At the Earth Martyrs Cemetery! That's the cemetery you specifically ordered to be protected when the 'Wandering Earth' plan was implemented."

At the beginning of the "Wandering Earth" plan, Jiang Yu had indeed ordered the protection of the cemetery where Chief Ji and Chang Weisi were buried.

After Chief Ji and Chang Weisi, many pioneers of humanity's space endeavors were buried there.

Later, when the Solar System State took over Earth, that area simply became known as the "Martyrs Cemetery," where those who sacrificed for the Solar System State or had made outstanding contributions were buried.

Besides, Jiang Yu also ordered the protection of Rediaz's tomb on the other hemisphere.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath. "Is the cemetery far from here? I would like to pay my respects to Zhang Beihai."

"I can create a spatial tunnel for you. Once you step outside the door, you will arrive at Zhang Beihai's grave."

"Let's experience the high technology of the present," Jiang Yu said with a smile. "Also, prepare some fresh flowers for me."

"Certainly, I will make arrangements now." After two or three seconds, the Galactic computer spoke again, "The spatial tunnel has been constructed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the door opened, and what appeared outside was not the garden seen through the window but a pitch-black tunnel.

There was a clear dislocation between the window and the door; it was as if they led to two different spaces.

Though these two sides did indeed lead to different spaces, such a sight still made Jiang Yu feel like his consciousness couldn't quite keep up.

The black tunnel at the doorway seemed very long. At the end visible to the eye, there was a scene mixed with birdsong, floral fragrance, as well as tombstones and graves.

Jiang Yu asked, "Do I just walk straight ahead?"

Without any protective measures?

"I have already applied a protective layer inside the spatial tunnel for you. You can proceed without worry," the Galactic computer said.

Jiang Yu nodded, took a step into the black tunnel, and as he took the second step, he suddenly felt as if he had "shrunk the land to an inch"; the scene at the end of the tunnel instantly appeared before him.

This significant change in distance felt surprisingly natural to Jiang Yu's vision, as if he truly could walk that far in one step.

When Jiang Yu took the third step, he found himself stepping onto grassland.

Upon looking back, the black corridor was slowly disappearing, and the door was already on the other side of the pitch-black tunnel.

And the scene at that end appeared palm-sized and very distant.

Jiang Yu shook his head helplessly: "Coming to this era as a Common Era person really feels like a country bumpkin entering the city."

Did I really just walk such a long distance in three steps?

Is this truly not some kind of sorcery?

Jiang Yu asked, "What is the maximum distance of a spatial tunnel?"
