Chapter 12 You Have Brought Us a Real Future
But to accomplish this, the origins of the Supreme Ruler must be kept secret from humanity on Earth.
Even if we don't know that His Excellency the Supreme Ruler comes from a higher dimension, just knowing that His Excellency the Supreme Ruler is a human would arouse great vigilance among the people of Earth.
The Scientific Governor said, "Your Excellency, to deceive humanity, your identity must be kept secret, but you also know that we are not good at deception and concealment."
Cheng Yuan said, "I have also considered this issue. The main reason I want to keep my identity a secret is to prevent you all from leaking information. However, due to the characteristics of your race, you are almost incapable of deceiving or concealing anything. If someone asks you about me, there is a possibility of leaking information."
That's the problem. It's fine if no one asks them, but once someone does, they'll discover something amiss, especially the cunning humans on Earth.
The Trisolaran Prime Minister apologized, saying, "Your Excellency Supreme Ruler, we are truly sorry for the trouble we have caused you."
Cheng Yuan waved his hand: "Prime Minister, there is no need to apologize. This problem is actually not difficult to solve. I will now tell you a few methods."
"The reason why you almost never deceive or conceal anything is because you communicate directly using brainwaves, making it almost impossible to hide your thought processes."
The Trisolarans actually use some rudimentary tactics. In the history of the Trisolaran civilization, when different forces were at war, they would set up traps and lay ambushes. However, as soon as the enemy sent someone to inquire, these tactics would be exposed immediately.
Cheng Yuandao asked, "Since you all communicate using brainwaves, could you create a brainwave filter to filter out certain sensitive information carried in the brainwaves?"
"Or create a smart reminder device that, when you send out brainwaves while communicating with others, reminds you which information is sensitive and cannot be said to others, or allows the device to help you modify the original sensitive content to something that can be said to others."
"For example, the statement 'Our supreme ruler is a human from a higher dimension' is a statement that contains sensitive information and would reveal my origin. Without any aids, you might say this when someone asks about my origin."
"But with the help of the device I envisioned, even if you are actually thinking this sentence, the device can change it to 'Our leader is an ordinary Trisolaran.' Brainwaves are electrical signals, and with your technology, it shouldn't be difficult to modify or simulate and reconstruct them."
It won't be easy for the Trisolarans to learn deception and concealment from humans in a short period of time, but it can be done with the help of science.
Upon hearing Cheng Yuan's proposed method, the Three-Body Prime Minister and the ruling officials fell into deep thought.
They weren't pondering the possibility Cheng Yuan mentioned, but rather why they hadn't thought of such a simple method before.
The science official said, "Why haven't we thought of such a simple method before?"
Cheng Yuan laughed and said, "Because this is the setting, you're not allowed to think of it."
The scientific administrator paused for a moment. He was a little surprised that Cheng Yuan would give such an answer, but upon closer inspection, it was the most reasonable answer.
They hadn't thought of such a simple method. It was because the higher-dimensional being who wrote them had set it up this way. They couldn't break through that being's settings, so naturally they couldn't have thought of it.
This has nothing to do with intelligence, technological advancement, or race. Their fate is determined by higher-dimensional beings, and they are powerless to resist.
One important reason why the Trisolaran rulers were willing to make Cheng Yuan their supreme ruler was that they wanted to rely on Cheng Yuan to escape the fate predetermined by higher-dimensional beings and to see the scenery beyond their destiny.
Cheng Yuan added, "But if we have to come up with a suitable reason from the book, it is that you are too arrogant, look down on humanity, and think that you can surpass humanity and colonize the planet without doing these things."
The scientific governor shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, at the time we didn't feel that we needed to do these things. We really didn't think of it, or to be precise, we didn't even have this idea."
The premise of "finding a way to solve a problem" is to be aware that there is a problem. However, under the setting of a higher-dimensional existence, they will not even have the thought of being aware of a problem, so how can they find a solution?
The power of higher dimensions is terrifying!
If it weren't for this being banished from a higher dimension, they would never have had the chance to escape their fate from birth to death.
The Scientific Governor expressed his sincere gratitude to Cheng Yuan: "Thank you, Your Excellency Supreme Governor, for bringing us a true future."
"Thank you, Your Excellency Supreme Ruler!"
The other Trisolaran governors also realized the enormous opportunity that Cheng Yuan had brought them.
Cheng Yuan said, "There's no need to be so polite. I am now the highest ruler of civilization, and naturally I have an obligation to guide civilization to develop in the right direction."
"Of course, I can only offer some ideas and talk the talk. The actual implementation will have to be up to you all. As for technical matters, I am probably not as good as you all right now."
It seems that this person who was banished from the higher dimension paid a heavy price, losing not only the status of the higher dimension but also the knowledge of the higher dimension.
The Trisolaran Prime Minister said, "Your Excellency, the most important thing for a civilization to develop is to find the right direction. If the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try, you will not get the right result."
"You're not just talking; your opinions and ideas are crucial to us. With your guidance, we can stay on the right track."
Seeing the Trisolaran Prime Minister righteously refute his words, Cheng Yuan thought to himself, 'Doesn't this guy know I was just being modest?'
"He's a Trisolaran, so it's alright!"
"Let's not talk about that!"
Cheng Yuan waved his hand and continued the previous topic of secrecy: "My identity and background must be kept secret not only from other civilizations, but also from the citizens of Trisolaris."
Once Cheng Yuan's origins are revealed, advanced civilizations in the Trisolaran universe will vie for or kill him. The Zero-Returners will go mad, and the Singers will spare no expense for him.
This is an existence from the dimension of the Creator!
"Create a virtual Trisolaran image for me; I will appear in this form until safety is confirmed. Also, keep the information about the multidimensional portal as confidential as possible!"
The eavesdropping governor said, "However, Your Excellency, if we want to use the multidimensional portal to travel to other dimensions, the multidimensional portal will inevitably be exposed."
Cheng Yuan laughed, "It will be exposed, but we can delay the exposure, reduce the number of people who know, and make the information vague. For example, we can make the scientists and engineers involved in the interdimensional development believe that they are going to a planet in this dimension, rather than crossing dimensions. Only after the crisis is over and the situation is stable can we selectively inform them!"
The eavesdropping consul said, "I understand. Thank you for your explanation, Your Excellency the Supreme Consul."
If they were to operate this themselves, it wouldn't be long before all the Trisolarans would know that their current supreme ruler is a human from a higher dimension, and that they will be migrating to another dimension.
"Keep secret as my second Supreme Consul's decree, and the third Supreme Consul's decree..."
