Acquiring Trans-Temporal Communication Technology

The Great Depression era was terrifying.

Famine was rampant everywhere.

People were dying every day.

Driven by hunger, humans devolved into beasts, even resorting to eating the corpses of their own kind.

In this era, slogans like civilization, freedom, democracy, and human rights became a pathetic joke.

The upper echelons, citing the greater good of confronting alien civilizations, demanded the populace indefinitely surrender their rights.

They allowed various military-industrial corporations to pollute indiscriminately.

They used the military to control food and water, throwing the entire world into chaos.

The Emperor, who appeared out of nowhere, attracted countless despairing citizens with his charismatic leadership and resolute stance.

His speeches spread like wildfire, igniting the emotions of people everywhere, fostering a spirit of rebellion.

The Earth-Trisolaris Organization (ETO) was also secretly fanning the flames, attempting to plunge humanity into endless internal conflict, rendering them incapable of resisting their masters.

When the elites of the United Federation realized the Emperor would never join them, they publicly declared him a criminal against humanity.

At a critical moment when humanity needed to unite against alien civilizations, they openly propagated reactionary ideas, calling him a running dog of alien civilizations, aiming to drain humanity's strength through internal strife.

The Emperor did not back down either.

He accused the United Federation of betraying its citizens.

He claimed they used the so-called "greater good" to ruthlessly exploit the common people, leaving them starving and unclothed.

"Before the enemy even arrives, these poor people are dying at the hands of foolish politicians and ambitious schemers who care nothing for the survival of Earth's civilization, nor for the lives of ordinary people."

"If we let them continue this madness, not only will we be unable to fight alien civilizations, but we will also destroy Earth and human civilization!"

"My compatriots, stand up and shout, raise your hands and resist. Compatriots with a conscience, take up arms, save our Earth, save human civilization, and give those yet unborn a home."

"We must overthrow these corrupt governments and establish a new regime where everyone is equal and united against the outside."

The Emperor's words were extremely persuasive, inciting millions of young men and women.

They shouted various slogans, demanding the overthrow of the old government and the establishment of a new era's government.

A government that could at least guarantee they would live to see the war of annihilation and possess the capability to counter the Trisolaran civilization.

Among those who joined the Emperor were not only ordinary men and women but also social elites who controlled vast resources and possessed professional skills.

They brought resources, intelligence, and various weapons and equipment.

Some even stole nuclear warheads.

If the United Federation dared to launch a nuclear attack on them, they would respond in kind.

They were prepared to destroy the world if necessary.

At the lowest levels of the Earth's internet labyrinth.

The Trisolaran virtual world was running silently.

Here, a group of ETO members gathered, discussing the impending war.

After Evans' death during Operation Guzheng, the ETO organization suffered a severe blow.

Humanity proposed the Wallfacer project, and the Trisolarans, feeling threatened, reactivated the ETO.

These Adventist members, willing to die for the Trisolaran civilization, gathered once more.

The original ETO was divided into three factions: Adventists, Salvationists, and Survivors.

Adventists: Hoped for the Trisolaran civilization's arrival to completely purge the sinful human civilization.

Salvationists: Hoped for the Trisolaran civilization's arrival to save the human civilization that had fallen into the abyss.

Survivors: Hoped to be kept as collaborators or traitors after the Trisolaran civilization's arrival.

Under the crackdown by various countries, the Salvationists completely collapsed, and the Survivors broke away, forming an independent force.

Currently, only Adventist members remain in the ETO.

Their dispatched Wallbreakers had already defeated two Wallfacers, Rey Diaz and Taylor.

The remaining matchups were Aristotle against Bill Hines, and Luo Ji, whom the Masters considered the greatest threat.

"Humans are always so foolish," Qin Shi Huang said, standing on a rock, holding his classic long sword.

"I thought the Great Depression was their lowest point, but now I realize it was just the beginning."

"As soon as the war breaks out, we'll find a way to make both sides throw nuclear bombs, turning Earth into a nuclear wasteland and bringing human civilization to a complete end."

"Then the arriving Masters can easily take over the entire solar system and live here happily ever after."

"We still can't afford to be careless," Einstein said. "The origin of this guy calling himself the Emperor is very mysterious. All we know is that he emerged from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We have no information about where he studied, where he worked, or his social connections."

"Didn't Sophon investigate his detailed information?" Confucius asked.

Einstein shook his head.

"Sophon can monitor the entire Earth, but the problem is that the amount of information generated every second is enormous, and on top of that, it has to perform calculations and restrict human scientific research activities."

"So, some unimportant information is cleared out periodically to free up more storage space."

Monitoring a planet is no simple task; the sheer volume of information Sophon needs to record every second is immense.

Quantum Sensing Array Communication Technology allows information to be transmitted regardless of distance.

However, this method of information transmission is also limited by the laws of physics.

There's a transmission limit.

It's impossible to transmit infinite information simultaneously.

Besides, the information Sophon transmits back is all processed by computers.

The Trisolarans can't handle such a massive amount of information either.

They also can't monitor every single person simultaneously.

Sophon's existence is akin to installing a camera next to every human.

It doesn't mean the Trisolarans can stare at humans 24/7.

"Have Sophon increase its attention on this guy, forget about past matters."

Qin Shi Huang said, "From now on, we need to know everything this guy does every day."

"Comrades, you must remember our goal: to allow the Master to take over this world with ease."

"Humanity is beyond saving; Earth belongs to Trisolaris."

War broke out.

The elites of the United Federation relentlessly pressured the Emperor, demanding his submission.

The Emperor had never considered peaceful coexistence from the start; he was aiming for war from the very beginning.

The situation quickly escalated from a minor skirmish to full-scale war.

Initially, the elites of the United Federation were supremely confident.

They believed their modern, integrated land, sea, and air forces would easily crush the Emperor's ragtag organization.

However, as soon as the war began, their confidence vanished, and they began to question their lives.

The Emperor's ability to incite rebellion was too strong.

The Federation's army had followers of the Emperor within its ranks, constantly feeding him intelligence.

This led to consecutive devastating defeats, leaving the army in disarray.

The United Federation's forces were routed, forced to contract their defensive lines, and continuously lost territory.

Later, the President and his staff became utterly furious.

They declared that those who had defected to the Emperor had betrayed the great United Federation and ordered nuclear weapons to be launched at them.

This order became the final straw that broke the United Federation.

Nuclear weapons, known as the most powerful weapons, would inevitably cause massive casualties once unleashed.

Soldiers who still held a sliver of hope for the United Federation defected en masse.

The general who received the order to launch nuclear weapons refused to comply, unwilling to bear such a sin.

Launching nuclear weapons would trigger a chain reaction.

With the surrender of the last army group.

The United Federation declared its demise two months after the war began.

The Emperor announced the establishment of the Human Empire and issued an ultimatum to various countries, demanding their allegiance.

"A cross-universe Human Empire," Raven shouted excitedly, "Once the two Human Empires are synthesized, we'll get a Level 2 Human Empire."

By declaring the establishment of the Human Empire, the Emperor reached a 5% milestone in the fate of the Three-Body Universe.

Raven thus gained a large amount of Origin Power.

The Emperor also received a reward notification.
