Three-body: The Most Competent Wallfacer in History

Jiang Yanqi listened to Jiang Yang's words and understood many things, like why this morning Avenger No.2 gave him the gloves and sunglasses.

The gloves were to conceal his fingerprints, and they probably also contained identity information for an intelligent robot, which is why BOL didn't detect anything unusual.

As for the sunglasses, they were likely intended to hide his retinas.

For this trip to the Moon-like planet, Avenger No.2 obviously came well-prepared, thinking of all kinds of unexpected situations.

When Jiang Yanqi chatted with other intelligent simulation robots, Avenger No.2 also supervised, and whenever the topics risked exposing him, it would interrupt and end the conversation.

Jiang Yang continued, "Your great uncle was captured by the Solar System State; there should be some of the Fireseed People who survived. You can try to find him, and if he's not dead, see if he can provide any help for you.

"However, he may no longer be among us, so you should first discreetly inquire about his descendants.

"Remember, even if they are moved by past sentiment, you must still cautiously hide your identity to avoid betrayal by them."

Avenger No.2 spoke up from beside,"I have some information about your great uncle."

Jiang Yang concluded, "I've never been to the Solar System State, so I can't offer you any advice, only tell you that it's never too cautious to be on your own out there."

He sighed again, "I'm sorry, Xiao Qi, our generation's negligence and oversight, but it's you who has to pay the price.

"I did wish for you to grow up carefree, to work in a field that you love.

"But... but now you have to shoulder the great cause of revenge for all the Fireseed People, and that worries me for your safety, yet I'm unable to help you.

"A few of my colleagues, who have been replaced by intelligent robots, have noticed my abnormal behavior. If I don't die, it will be very difficult to continue concealing you, giving you a chance at life was my choice.

"Xiao Qi, how you wish to live your life is also your choice to make."

Tears welled up in Jiang Yang's eyes, "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry, I'm not a qualified father."

The recording ended here.

Jiang Yanqi's eyes also blurred, he could hear the turmoil in his father's heart, his father both wanted him to live safely and happily, but also to become a hero of vengeance.

Avenger No.2 spoke at this time, "I have observed that tomorrow will be the best time to escape..."

Jiang Yanqi threw the wine glass in his hand at Avenger No.2, "Get out!"

The glass passed through Avenger No.2's hologram, spilling the wine all over the ground.

Avenger No.2 continued, "Recently, the positions of the outer planets have just shifted from alignment with Fireseed Star, their colonial armed forces won't be able to intercept us mid-way.

"As long as we launch in the evening, we can also avoid interception by the Moon-like colony."

Avenger No.2 paused and then added, "I have observed that you are expressing feelings of sadness, despair, and loneliness; you may choose not to carry out Jiang Yang's plan, the energy of the Eco-Home is sufficient for you to live a carefree life."

Jiang Yanqi wiped away his tears, "What's the point of living all alone?"

Avenger No.2 paused for a few seconds before replying,"That question, I cannot answer."

Jiang Yanqi waved his hand, "I'm tired, I'm going to rest." With that, he dragged his weary body back to the bedroom to rest.

That night, Jiang Yanqi experienced insomnia for the first time. He thought about a lot, from the evolution of humanity to the invasion of the Trisolarans, from the establishment of the Kindling Star System to its two extinctions.

These histories and past events kept flashing through his mind. Now that he was the only one left of the Kindling Star System, it was as if he alone inherited all hopes of the Fireseed People and aspirations for the future.

Suddenly, Jiang Yanqi felt a hint of unwillingness, not about his own fate, but about that of the Fireseed People.

After several trials and tribulations, the Fireseed civilization finally embarked on its own path of development, only to be supplanted at this juncture.

Jiang Yanqi then thought of the profound universe he saw today, so beautiful and yet so mysterious.

He suddenly realized the significance of why his father wanted him to go to the Moon-like Planet—it was to let him see how vast the outside world was.

At that thought, Jiang Yanqi suddenly said to Avenger No.2, "I am willing to carry out my father's plan."

The hologram of Avenger No.2 made a clapping gesture, "You are a warrior of the Fireseed People."

Jiang Yanqi stood up and said to Avenger No.2 in the darkness, "I'm going to give you a new name. Otherwise, you share a name with the enemy of the Fireseed People."

"Sure!"

"From now on, you'll be called 'Avenger,' " Jiang Yanqi said, "to distinguish you from Avenger No.2."

It also indicated his determination to seek revenge!

Jiang Yanqi planned to first go to the Solar System State to look for the Survivors of the Fireseed People, figure out a way to organize them, and then using the hand of the Solar System State, eliminate the intelligent machine civilization of the Kindling Star System.

In time, he could utilize the resources of the Solar System State to develop the population of the Fireseed People, and then wait for the right moment to become independent.

Indulging in such visions, Jiang Yanqi felt that seeking revenge for the Fireseed People would also be a remarkable chapter in his life.

"I think your father would be proud of your decision today," said the Avenger.

Jiang Yanqi took a deep breath, "When is the spacecraft scheduled to launch?"

"The optimal window is in twelve hours," replied the Avenger.

Jiang Yanqi then asked, "What should I do in these twelve plus hours?"

"It's best to rest a little," answered the Avenger.

Jiang Yanqi smiled, "I can't sleep anymore. I'll go and check out the spacecraft I'll be riding first."

There was an internal corridor between the ecological homestead and the launch site, and Jiang Yanqi quickly arrived at the launch site on a spacecraft, seeing the long-dormant Curvature Spaceship.

The Avenger had already started the pre-heating and performed a checkup with all systems functioning normally.

However, this spacecraft had no weapons; it was merely a civilian vessel.

Jiang Yanqi tirelessly tried out various functions of the spacecraft. His interstellar journey the next day would mark an exciting beginning in his life, as with anyone on their first interstellar travel.

Moreover, he had never been far from home in the past.

At last, the optimal launch window arrived, and Jiang Yanqi carried the virus weapons prepared by Jiang Yang and set off.

The shelter above the spacecraft opened, and the spacecraft, already in a pre-launch state, fired up its thrusters and smoothly entered low Earth orbit.

As the spacecraft started to accelerate again, Avenger No.2 detected the unauthorized launch and immediately dispatched armed spacecraft to intercept.

However, Jiang Yanqi had completed the second acceleration ahead of them; their attacks missed their mark.

Once curvature acceleration began, even more warships came to intercept, creating a situation fraught with danger.

Jiang Yanqi was not scared; he instead laughed and asked the Avenger, "Who would've thought that at the last moment of my life, only you would be by my side. Are you willing to accompany me on this final journey?"

The Avenger paused, "Your question is incomprehensible, but I am willing to accompany you."

At the most critical moment, the spacecraft successfully entered curvature, and Jiang Yanqi excitedly jumped up, cheering, "Yahoo!"

Ten-plus hours later, the spacecraft left curvature at the designated point, merely thirty astronomical units away from Blue Maiden Star.

Soon, the intelligent customs of the Cyan Solar System State sent a message: "Welcome to the New Continent Star System, please present your pass!"

Jiang Yanqi immediately broke out in a cold sweat; where would he get such a pass?
