We found nothing.

10
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:51,220
We still don't know
what those math guys are doing, right?

11
00:01:51,220 --> 00:01:52,460
They were asked

12
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:54,940
to solve certain problems
within the allotted time.

13
00:01:54,940 --> 00:01:57,420
As for what that was for,
they had no idea.

14
00:01:57,420 --> 00:02:01,420
Shen Yufei went to such great lengths
to help Wei Cheng for her own purpose, I guess.

15
00:02:01,420 --> 00:02:06,100
Couldn't it be for love?

16
00:02:16,140 --> 00:02:16,860
No one's in.

17
00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:20,660
Let me. I got this.

18
00:02:25,580 --> 00:02:27,420
Maybe we can come again some other time.

19
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:29,420
Move.

20
00:02:29,420 --> 00:02:31,420
Captain Shi,
trespassing isn't allowed.

21
00:02:31,420 --> 00:02:32,540
I'm not breaking in.

22
00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:35,940
I'm trying to make some noise.

Nailed it.

27
00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:54,580
I nailed it!

28
00:03:54,580 --> 00:03:55,860
Party time.

29
00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:58,740
Let's celebrate.

30
00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:22,140
Here you go.

31
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:24,820
Thanks.

32
00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:29,540
It's the variable, not the constant.

33
00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:34,060
I thought it was the constant,
but it's the variable.

34
00:04:37,260 --> 00:04:38,100
So, you...

35
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:39,220
Probability.

36
00:04:39,220 --> 00:04:42,140
Yes, probability.

37
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:44,780
So, you've got the result?

38
00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:45,980
No.

39
00:04:45,980 --> 00:04:48,340
This is only the first step.

40
00:04:48,340 --> 00:04:52,220
How many are they?

41
00:05:09,380 --> 00:05:12,940
More than 100 steps, maybe.

42
00:05:14,780 --> 00:05:17,860
Or more.

43
00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:20,140
Isn't it too soon to celebrate?

44
00:05:20,140 --> 00:05:21,700
Wrong!

45
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:24,900
If you're going in the wrong direction,
all those steps will lead you nowhere.

46
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:29,260
But I'm certain that I am right on track.

47
00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:34,740
And that's worth another drink.

48
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:45,380
What are you calculating anyway?

49
00:05:53,980 --> 00:05:56,900
What is it?

50
00:05:56,900 --> 00:05:59,980
An evolutionary algorithm.

51
00:06:00,220 --> 00:06:01,340
Evolutionary algorithm.

52
00:06:01,340 --> 00:06:04,100
What's that?

53
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:08,900
Hey, dude, stay with me.

54
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:10,380
What algorithm?

55
00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:12,180
What's it for?

56
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:13,300
Wake up.

57
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:14,300
Let's drink.

58
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:15,100
Come on, man.

59
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:16,660
Drink with me.

60
00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:19,380
He can't drink.

61
00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:20,500
I... I...

62
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:23,340
I didn't ask him to.

63
00:06:23,340 --> 00:06:25,260
What do you want now, Captain Shi?

64
00:06:25,260 --> 00:06:27,140
Nothing. Just making small talk.

65
00:06:27,140 --> 00:06:29,900
Your husband found the right path.

66
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:33,260
So, the path to what?

67
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:36,460
Why do you care?

68
00:06:36,460 --> 00:06:38,860
He's into math.

69
00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:44,300
If he's doing one plus one makes two,
would you be interested?

70
00:06:47,620 --> 00:06:52,260
In this world,
no one truly understands him.

71
00:06:52,260 --> 00:06:55,780
Math is his one and only passion.

72
00:06:55,780 --> 00:06:59,780
He's got no other hobbies.

73
00:06:59,780 --> 00:07:05,540
To help him with his pursuit,
I hired an army to work with him.

74
00:07:05,540 --> 00:07:10,780
I'm so glad that his work
has finally come to fruition.

75
00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:15,220
Still, what is he working on?

76
00:07:17,340 --> 00:07:20,540
He can't take in alcohol.

77
00:07:28,580 --> 00:07:31,780
I said it wasn't me.

78
00:07:44,740 --> 00:07:45,940
Captain,

79
00:07:45,940 --> 00:07:48,500
Shen Yufei and Wei Cheng
don't look like a married couple.

80
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:49,300
I agree.

81
00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:54,780
With her husband on the floor,
she picked up the cushion first.

82
00:07:56,860 --> 00:07:59,420
Would you call that place home?

83
00:07:59,420 --> 00:08:02,860
It's filled with piles of used paper,
computers, and office supplies.

84
00:08:02,860 --> 00:08:04,660
I'd call it a studio.

85
00:08:04,660 --> 00:08:08,940
They're more employer-employee
than husband-wife.

86
00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:12,340
Are all scientists like that?

87
00:08:18,460 --> 00:08:20,700
When Wei Cheng was in high school,

88
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:24,900
he won first place
in the IMO in Budapest

89
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:26,620
and was accepted by Fudan's math program

90
00:08:26,620 --> 00:08:27,980
(Fudan University Admission Letter)
without taking the entrance exam.

91
00:08:27,980 --> 00:08:30,460
But he didn't put too much effort

92
00:08:30,460 --> 00:08:31,900
into his Bachelor's, Master's,
or Doctor's degrees.

93
00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:35,140
After graduation,
he didn't have much of a career

94
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:37,580
and went back to teach at a college.

95
00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:40,140
Yet he couldn't survive there, either.

96
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:48,660
He was muddling along
until he met Shen Yufei

97
00:08:48,660 --> 00:08:52,300
and married her soon after.

98
00:08:54,020 --> 00:09:01,020
Financially, she provided for him
and helped with his calculation.

99
00:09:01,940 --> 00:09:05,980
When you put it like that,
love can be ruled out for sure.

100
00:09:05,980 --> 00:09:09,340
Shen Yufei did all that for herself.

101
00:09:09,340 --> 00:09:13,220
Or why would she choose such a loser?

102
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:19,660
Maybe in her eyes,
he's some sort of a genius.

103
00:10:09,580 --> 00:10:13,300
You mean
it's switched into the standby mode.

104
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:14,420
Yes.

105
00:10:14,420 --> 00:10:20,020
A few key parts are still running
to store the completed data

106
00:10:20,020 --> 00:10:22,660
and maintain basic operations

107
00:10:22,660 --> 00:10:26,420
to prepare the computer to reenter
the compute mode anytime.

108
00:10:26,420 --> 00:10:30,260
Also, that's more economical.

109
00:10:30,260 --> 00:10:33,060
Yes, as it should be.

110
00:10:33,060 --> 00:10:35,380
It's been running for 16 long months.

111
00:10:35,380 --> 00:10:41,060
Your Majesty, the first phase of
the computation was complete.

112
00:10:41,060 --> 00:10:44,020
The results precisely
described the orbits

113
00:10:44,020 --> 00:10:48,780
of the three suns
for the next two years.

114
00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:52,060
Tell me about it.

115
00:10:53,780 --> 00:10:56,540
My great Emperor,
the calculations show

116
00:10:56,540 --> 00:10:59,260
that the long night is about to be over.

117
00:10:59,260 --> 00:11:04,740
We'll soon welcome the first sunrise
of a long Stable Era.

118
00:11:04,740 --> 00:11:07,740
You mean the sun is about to rise?

119
00:11:07,740 --> 00:11:08,660
Yes.

120
00:11:08,660 --> 00:11:12,220
And this Era will last over a year.

121
00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:15,500
Judging by the orbital parameters,
the climate will be mild and comfortable.

122
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:19,060
Please let your empire be rehydrated!

123
00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:22,180
Rehydrate.

124
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:31,780
In just five seconds, Your Majesty,
prepare to receive your glory!

125
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:50,820
Your Majesty, I'm afraid
the calculations were in error.

126
00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:52,700
Disaster is about to befall us!

127
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:54,100
What are you babbling about?

128
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:58,420
You, a mere astrologer, are questioning
His Majesty's grand computer?

129
00:11:58,420 --> 00:12:00,180
Don't you see that the sun is rising
at the exact moment

130
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:02,780
predicted by our precise calculations?

131
00:12:02,780 --> 00:12:04,660
But how many suns do you see?

132
00:12:04,660 --> 00:12:06,220
How many?

133
00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:07,860
Need you ask?

134
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:10,980
Astrologer,
you must at least know how to count.

135
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,700
Of course, there's only one sun.

136
00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:15,260
And the temperature is perfect.

137
00:12:15,260 --> 00:12:18,020
No, Your Majesty.

138
00:12:18,020 --> 00:12:19,420
There are three.

139
00:12:19,420 --> 00:12:23,220
The other two are behind that one!

140
00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:25,020
Are you out of your mind?

141
00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:27,180
The Imperial Observatory has confirmed

142
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:30,900
that the three suns are in a
straight line, moving around our planet

143
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:33,100
at the same angular speed!

144
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:35,660
This is extremely rare!

145
00:12:35,660 --> 00:12:37,460
A Tri-solar Syzygy.

146
00:12:37,460 --> 00:12:40,540
Thus, our planet and the three suns

147
00:12:40,540 --> 00:12:49,140
are in a straight line
with our world at the end of this line!

148
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:50,980
Are you sure about this?

149
00:12:50,980 --> 00:12:52,900
Absolutely!

150
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:54,380
The observation was conducted

151
00:12:54,380 --> 00:12:56,660
by the Western astronomers
of the Imperial Observatory,

152
00:12:56,660 --> 00:12:59,500
including Kepler and Herschel.

153
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:05,580
They're using the largest telescope
in the world, imported from Europe!

154
00:13:05,580 --> 00:13:11,780
My greatest, most honorable Emperor,
this is the most propitious sign!

155
00:13:11,780 --> 00:13:15,500
Now that the three suns
are orbiting around our planet,

156
00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:18,020
your empire becomes
the center of the universe.

157
00:13:18,020 --> 00:13:20,740
This is God's reward for our efforts.

158
00:13:20,740 --> 00:13:24,420
Let me double-check the calculations.

159
00:13:24,420 --> 00:13:28,500
I'll... I'll prove this!

160
00:13:30,420 --> 00:13:34,780
Von Neumann,
what do you think about this phenomenon?

161
00:13:34,780 --> 00:13:40,220
Your Majesty, it wasn't included
in any of the previous calculations.

162
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:41,300
I'll try to...

163
00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:45,060
Report!

164
00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:47,140
What now?

165
00:13:47,140 --> 00:13:49,020
Sir Newton stole a horse and left.

166
00:13:49,020 --> 00:13:50,500
We lost track of him.

167
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:52,180
What?

168
00:13:52,180 --> 00:13:53,700
That rat!

169
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,500
How dare he flee!

170
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:57,460
He's a good-for-nothing!

171
00:13:57,460 --> 00:13:59,460
A coward, a chicken!

172
00:13:59,460 --> 00:14:02,620
Your Majesty,
please unsheathe your sword.

173
00:14:02,620 --> 00:14:03,900
What for?

174
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:06,860
Please try to swing it.

175
00:14:08,260 --> 00:14:11,500
Why is it so light?

176
00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:14,580
The game's V-suit can't simulate
the feeling of diminished gravity.

177
00:14:14,580 --> 00:14:18,460
Otherwise, we'd feel that
we're much lighter as well.

178
00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:20,340
Look! Down there!

179
00:14:20,340 --> 00:14:21,940
Look at those men!

180
00:14:21,940 --> 00:14:24,700
And the horses!

181
00:14:48,660 --> 00:14:51,140
So, what's going on here?

182
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:53,660
Your Majesty,
the three suns are over our planet

183
00:14:53,660 --> 00:14:54,980
in a straight line,

184
00:14:54,980 --> 00:15:00,940
so their gravitational forces
are added together...

185
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:27,100
What's next?

186
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,060
Acceleration?

187
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:32,260
Are the mountains transparent?

188
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:33,580
They aren't mountains.

189
00:15:33,580 --> 00:15:36,340
They were formed from the ocean
attracted into space.

190
00:15:36,340 --> 00:15:38,820
I figured it out! Electronic elements!

191
00:15:38,820 --> 00:15:42,500
Use them to make gate circuits
and combine them into computers!

192
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:47,620
Such computers will be much faster!

193
00:15:58,980 --> 00:16:02,220
(Tri-solar Syzygy.)

194
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:13,980
(Because the atmosphere was gone,
there was no more sound.)

195
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:20,220
(I was seeing the other two suns.)

196
00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:25,220
(Civilization No. 184 was destroyed
by the stacked gravitational attractions)

197
00:16:25,220 --> 00:16:26,380
(of a Tri-solar Syzygy.)

198
00:16:26,380 --> 00:16:28,660
(This civilization had advanced
to the Scientific Revolution)

199
00:16:28,660 --> 00:16:30,660
(and the Industrial Revolution.)

200
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:35,900
(In this civilization, Newton established
nonrelativistic classical mechanics.)

201
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:36,700
(At the same time,)

202
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:38,860
(due to the invention of calculus
and the Von Neumann)

203
00:16:38,860 --> 00:16:42,500
(architecture computer, the foundation was set for
the quantitative mathematical analysis)

204
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:44,860
(of the motion of three bodies.)

205
00:16:44,860 --> 00:16:49,420
(After a long time, life and
civilization will begin again,)

206
00:16:49,420 --> 00:16:54,020
(and progress once more through
the unpredictable world of Three-Body.)

207
00:16:54,020 --> 00:16:57,740
(We invite you to log on again.)

208
00:17:05,660 --> 00:17:07,380
Yes?

209
00:17:07,380 --> 00:17:08,180
Hello.

210
00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:10,460
First, thanks for giving us
your real number.

211
00:17:10,460 --> 00:17:12,980
I'm a system administrator
for the Three-Body game.

212
00:17:12,980 --> 00:17:16,580
Please tell me your name, education,
occupation, and position.

213
00:17:16,580 --> 00:17:19,860
You left them blank during registration.

214
00:17:19,860 --> 00:17:22,220
What do they have to do with the game?

215
00:17:22,220 --> 00:17:25,420
Now that you've reached this level,
we need such information from you.

216
00:17:25,420 --> 00:17:30,140
If you refuse, Three-Body will
shut you out permanently.

217
00:17:30,660 --> 00:17:32,220
Name: Wang Miao.

218
00:17:32,220 --> 00:17:34,100
Education: Doctorate.

219
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:37,380
Occupation: Chief Engineer
of the National Nanomaterial Center.

220
00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:38,660
Thank you, Dr. Wang.

221
00:17:38,660 --> 00:17:43,060
You're qualified for
continuing in Three-Body.

222
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:45,420
May I ask you a question?

223
00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:46,020
Sorry, sir.

224
00:17:46,020 --> 00:17:49,580
As a system administrator, I'm unauthorized
to answer any questions.

225
00:17:49,580 --> 00:17:51,980
There will be a meet-up
for the players soon.

226
00:17:51,980 --> 00:17:55,020
You're welcome to attend
if you're gonna continue playing.

227
00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:59,300
We'll send you the information by email
once your identity checks out.

228
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:02,580
Please check your mailbox.

229
00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:14,500
Are you saying either you go
to the meet-up or you're out?

230
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:16,220
I suppose.

231
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:18,740
- Have you received the email?
- Not yet.

232
00:18:18,740 --> 00:18:22,340
They'll verify my profile
before sending it.

233
00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:26,980
But this new trial in the game
has given me another idea.

234
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:29,220
What is it?

235
00:18:29,220 --> 00:18:31,420
The Three-Body Problem is about physics,

236
00:18:31,420 --> 00:18:35,140
but maybe it can be solved
by calculation.

237
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:36,260
So math?

238
00:18:36,260 --> 00:18:38,180
Yes.

239
00:18:38,180 --> 00:18:40,100
A mathematical model.

240
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:42,500
We're gonna need a complex one.

241
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:47,820
Someone thought so, too,
but beat you to it by a few months.

242
00:18:47,820 --> 00:18:49,540
You know who it was?

243
00:18:49,540 --> 00:18:52,140
Who?

244
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:55,460
(Shen Yufei)

245
00:18:55,460 --> 00:18:58,100
Shen Yufei.

246
00:18:58,220 --> 00:19:00,900
Guess she's been
working on a solution

247
00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:03,780
to the Three-Body Problem in the game.

248
00:19:03,780 --> 00:19:06,940
To think that she let you in,
half-knowing.

249
00:19:06,940 --> 00:19:11,940
Listen, she's hired over 100 experts,
including her husband, Wei Cheng,

250
00:19:11,940 --> 00:19:13,980
(Wei Cheng)
to calculate day and night.

251
00:19:13,980 --> 00:19:15,700
I didn't know what they were working on,

252
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:20,020
but given what you said,
it must be the Three-Body Problem.

253
00:19:20,020 --> 00:19:25,380
Shen Yufei is more than she shows.

254
00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:28,620
A scientist
trying to solve the Three-Body Problem

255
00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:31,860
doesn't prove anything.

256
00:19:32,780 --> 00:19:35,900
I know that.

257
00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:44,580
Considering what you two are doing,

258
00:19:44,580 --> 00:19:53,660
I mean, are you gonna be
a mathematician next?

259
00:19:56,860 --> 00:19:58,380
Let me ask you something.

260
00:19:58,380 --> 00:20:01,620
Are you and your wife close?

261
00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:06,580
What... what I'm saying is
if you and your wife...

262
00:20:06,580 --> 00:20:08,380
if you two, you know...

263
00:20:08,380 --> 00:20:12,500
I mean, if your wife got drunk
and she was under the couch,

264
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:14,740
there you were... uh...

265
00:20:14,740 --> 00:20:17,300
She didn't throw up, though.

266
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:20,500
She knocked the cushion to the floor.

267
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:24,300
At this point,
well, normally, she wasn't like that.

268
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:25,500
So, what would you...

269
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:28,860
My wife never drinks.

270
00:20:31,860 --> 00:20:33,420
Sure.

271
00:20:33,420 --> 00:20:37,020
I know she, uh, she doesn't drink.

272
00:20:37,020 --> 00:20:40,060
Normally, she doesn't.

273
00:21:13,660 --> 00:21:15,260
It's me.

274
00:21:15,260 --> 00:21:17,620
Send me the clips if they're done.

275
00:21:17,620 --> 00:21:19,740
I'll edit them.

276
00:21:19,740 --> 00:21:23,380
OK. Gotta go. Bye.

277
00:21:23,380 --> 00:21:26,660
I turned off your monitor.

278
00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:37,020
You freaked me out!

279
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:44,660
A few days ago,
a lab in Y City, Country M

280
00:21:44,660 --> 00:21:47,700
suffered a blast in an accident.

281
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:53,100
Four scientists, including a Nobel laureate,
were killed.

282
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:54,300
I know.

283
00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:57,380
I read the news.

284
00:21:57,380 --> 00:21:59,260
Yes.

285
00:21:59,260 --> 00:22:01,820
That's what the news said.

286
00:22:01,820 --> 00:22:04,540
But it's not true?

287
00:22:04,540 --> 00:22:11,860
The four scientists were there
for their monthly bridge day.

288
00:22:11,860 --> 00:22:15,980
They didn't do any experiments,
so the explosion was only a cover.

289
00:22:15,980 --> 00:22:18,660
Someone is behind all that

290
00:22:18,660 --> 00:22:21,220
to bury the truth
and run the made-up story.

291
00:22:21,220 --> 00:22:22,900
But that's not your job to find out.

292
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:25,940
Someone else will.

293
00:22:25,940 --> 00:22:29,980
The hidden truths must be uncovered.

294
00:22:29,980 --> 00:22:34,180
What should we do now?

295
00:22:35,340 --> 00:22:39,940
Shen Yufei and I
don't always see eye to eye,

296
00:22:39,940 --> 00:22:46,380
but we're forced
to take the same path.

297
00:23:08,460 --> 00:23:11,780
Is there really a so-called "farmer"?

298
00:23:11,780 --> 00:23:17,740
Are you aware of the Hadza, a primitive tribe
in the wilderness of Africa?

299
00:23:17,740 --> 00:23:24,740
They're still a hunter-gatherer society
living in the caves

300
00:23:24,740 --> 00:23:30,700
and treating the sick
with ground herbs.

301
00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:35,340
(The Last Hunter-gatherer Tribe in Africa)
And then you show up with antibiotics

302
00:23:35,340 --> 00:23:37,500
to cure them.

303
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:42,580
You give them seeds
so that they'll have food to eat.

304
00:23:42,580 --> 00:23:46,900
You teach them calendar
and architecture

305
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:50,420
to build houses outside the caves.

306
00:23:50,420 --> 00:23:53,060
Because of you, they have a lamp.

307
00:23:53,060 --> 00:23:57,540
Now, in their eyes, you're their Lord.

308
00:23:57,540 --> 00:23:59,260
Let me get this straight.

309
00:23:59,260 --> 00:24:03,460
So we're living in a world where there are
more advanced technologies

310
00:24:03,460 --> 00:24:06,140
than we know.

311
00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:09,380
You want people to resist
technological development

312
00:24:09,380 --> 00:24:12,580
because however it develops,
it's nowhere near Lord's level.

313
00:24:12,580 --> 00:24:14,900
Is that so?

314
00:24:14,900 --> 00:24:18,060
And it does more harm than good.

315
00:24:18,580 --> 00:24:19,900
That's true.

316
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:23,020
It's polluting everything.

317
00:24:23,020 --> 00:24:30,620
Water, light, air,
wildlife habitat, and our habitat.

318
00:24:30,620 --> 00:24:35,860
Come to think of it,
in a way, technology is advancing

319
00:24:35,860 --> 00:24:37,980
at the cost of our lives.

320
00:24:37,980 --> 00:24:43,540
Wind and solar power generation
have been well-developed,

321
00:24:43,540 --> 00:24:46,420
but why are they yet to be widely used
for residential power?

322
00:24:46,420 --> 00:24:48,860
Because in that case,

323
00:24:48,860 --> 00:24:53,500
the group that originally controls
the resources will lose

324
00:24:53,780 --> 00:24:57,100
some of their interests forever.

325
00:24:57,260 --> 00:25:05,100
I can be their Lord,
but what's my goal?

326
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:07,940
Who are you? A martyr?

327
00:25:07,940 --> 00:25:11,380
Or a clown?

328
00:25:46,420 --> 00:25:47,540
How did you get in?

329
00:25:47,540 --> 00:25:50,460
Wasn't the door closed?

330
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:56,820
Terminate your calculation.

331
00:25:56,820 --> 00:25:57,740
Not now.

332
00:25:57,740 --> 00:25:59,340
I've just found my way.

333
00:25:59,340 --> 00:26:02,180
There are many more steps to take.

334
00:26:02,180 --> 00:26:03,180
I said stop it.

335
00:26:03,180 --> 00:26:04,020
It's meaningless.

336
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:04,980
I don't care.

337
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:07,940
This is my passion.

338
00:26:09,020 --> 00:26:12,500
Wait outside for Shen Yufei.

339
00:26:30,780 --> 00:26:35,060
Your toy gun looks so real.

340
00:26:44,260 --> 00:26:47,860
Stop it. It's boring.

341
00:26:54,180 --> 00:26:56,180
No, it's not saved!

342
00:26:56,180 --> 00:26:59,180
It's gone!

343
00:27:02,180 --> 00:27:04,060
I said

344
00:27:04,060 --> 00:27:07,300
stop it right now.

345
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:16,020
So, uh, it's not a toy, is it?

346
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:18,740
It's... it's the real deal.

347
00:27:18,740 --> 00:27:22,060
You know what? You're right.

348
00:27:22,060 --> 00:27:27,780
My... my calculation is meaningless.

349
00:27:28,180 --> 00:27:31,140
Are you gonna kill him in my face?

350
00:27:31,140 --> 00:27:37,260
Although we do things differently,
you should know I'll shoot if I have to.

351
00:27:37,260 --> 00:27:41,260
Call the cops.

352
00:27:41,260 --> 00:27:43,620
Cops?

353
00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:46,300
Even God can't save you.

354
00:27:46,300 --> 00:27:49,060
Commander was blind
to allow devils like you

355
00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:52,180
to join the organization.

356
00:27:52,180 --> 00:27:54,580
Can you tell which side

357
00:27:54,580 --> 00:27:56,900
Commander is on?

358
00:27:56,900 --> 00:27:59,140
Wei Cheng, go back to your room.

359
00:27:59,140 --> 00:28:01,660
OK.

360
00:28:05,140 --> 00:28:08,860
But... but this is... this is my room.

361
00:28:08,860 --> 00:28:11,940
I... I'm going upstairs.

362
00:28:23,340 --> 00:28:26,260
Meaningless.

363
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:34,740
Wei Cheng was lost for a long time
until recently, he made a breakthrough

364
00:28:34,740 --> 00:28:36,980
and found a way.

365
00:28:36,980 --> 00:28:42,340
I wasn't sure if it was right,
but your reaction told me it is.

366
00:28:42,340 --> 00:28:44,580
And so what?

367
00:28:44,580 --> 00:28:50,380
Maybe it'll take decades from there
or to no avail.

368
00:28:50,380 --> 00:28:54,900
You're keeping Lord from coming.

369
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:56,780
I'm saving it.

370
00:28:56,780 --> 00:28:59,700
Does Lord need your redemption?

371
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:04,380
Do the shooter and the farmer need consolation
from two-dimensional creatures or turkeys?

372
00:29:04,380 --> 00:29:05,780
You aren't Lord.

373
00:29:05,780 --> 00:29:08,580
You can't speak for it.

374
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:15,300
Shen Yufei,
were you able to hear Lord's voice?

375
00:29:19,260 --> 00:29:26,500
We know Lord is there
and it's been guiding us.

376
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:33,020
But what have you done?

377
00:29:33,580 --> 00:29:38,180
You've been separating Lord from us
so that it only communicates with you,

378
00:29:38,180 --> 00:29:40,860
and then you tell us what to do
in Lord's name.

379
00:29:40,860 --> 00:29:45,300
Don't I have the right to question
if your rendering is faithful?

380
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:47,900
Wei Cheng has only taken one small step.

381
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:51,940
No one knows
if that's right, including you,

382
00:29:51,940 --> 00:29:59,460
but I know, because Lord has told me so.

383
00:29:59,460 --> 00:30:02,580
Lord knows everything.

384
00:30:05,460 --> 00:30:09,140
Lord shouldn't be your leverage.

385
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:21,340
Does Lord care?

386
00:30:26,940 --> 00:30:30,340
The new receiving system
is ready to be deployed.

387
00:30:30,340 --> 00:30:33,540
Reception of all bands
in the direction of Centaurus will be expanded

388
00:30:33,540 --> 00:30:35,340
to the maximum range.

389
00:30:35,340 --> 00:30:37,540
I'll see to it.

390
00:30:37,540 --> 00:30:42,540
Also,
I've mulled over what Pan Han said.

391
00:30:42,540 --> 00:30:45,020
He asked me...

392
00:30:45,020 --> 00:30:47,740
Were you able to hear Lord's voice?

393
00:30:47,740 --> 00:30:51,020
He said, "hear Lord's voice".

394
00:30:51,020 --> 00:30:52,700
Don't worry.

395
00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:56,180
I'll take care of the new system.

396
00:31:43,940 --> 00:31:46,420
We have seven, maybe eight cases.

397
00:31:46,420 --> 00:31:47,780
It's getting out of control.

398
00:31:47,780 --> 00:31:51,220
The North American Sector
has had four terrorist attacks.

399
00:31:51,220 --> 00:31:53,900
It seems as though
the enemy is escalating.

400
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:57,740
We just got one case
in our sector so far,

401
00:31:57,740 --> 00:32:01,980
but it causes bad influence
of public opinion.

402
00:32:01,980 --> 00:32:05,860
General Chang,
how about Beijing Sector?

403
00:32:05,860 --> 00:32:07,700
Relatively stable as of now.

404
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:09,820
No similar cases have happened.

405
00:32:09,820 --> 00:32:14,340
Can we confirm that the attacks
are related to our investigation?

406
00:32:14,340 --> 00:32:15,300
Yes.

407
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:17,260
We managed to capture a few suspects.

408
00:32:17,260 --> 00:32:20,100
What I find odd though is that
most of them

409
00:32:20,100 --> 00:32:21,900
are known environmentalists
and pacifists,

410
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:25,260
but somehow,
they're turning into violent terrorists,

411
00:32:25,260 --> 00:32:28,660
using the same slogan.

412
00:32:29,460 --> 00:32:32,020
"Lord will come to punish vice."

413
00:32:32,020 --> 00:32:34,060
That "Lord" again.

414
00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:35,420
What kind of lord?

415
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:36,940
Landlord?

416
00:32:36,940 --> 00:32:38,460
"Punish vice."

417
00:32:38,460 --> 00:32:39,620
Whose vice?

418
00:32:39,620 --> 00:32:41,260
Turkeys'?

419
00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:42,940
But what about those rioters?

420
00:32:42,940 --> 00:32:44,940
Aren't they also turkeys?

421
00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:50,940
Even if Lord will come,
those mobs are using it to mess around.

422
00:32:50,940 --> 00:32:55,020
Although such attacks
aren't found in our sector,

423
00:32:55,020 --> 00:32:59,260
we have to stay on guard.

424
00:32:59,740 --> 00:33:01,380
Against what?

425
00:33:01,380 --> 00:33:04,140
I don't even know what this "Lord" is.

426
00:33:04,140 --> 00:33:07,860
Chang, you said those mobs

427
00:33:07,860 --> 00:33:11,700
used to be pacifists
and renowned scholars, right?

428
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:15,020
Do they have anything to do
with the Frontiers of Science?

429
00:33:15,020 --> 00:33:20,100
It seems to me that they're acting as HR
screening out candidates.

430
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:25,300
Is there an even bigger organization
backing them?

431
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:28,940
Wang Miao
has passed their screening, hasn't he?

432
00:33:28,940 --> 00:33:35,380
It's better that
he receives their email ASAP.

433
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:43,620
Thank you for coming.

434
00:33:43,620 --> 00:33:46,620
That's all for today.

435
00:33:59,020 --> 00:34:01,620
When was the last time you came here?

436
00:34:01,620 --> 00:34:07,860
Did you send Wei Cheng away
so that he can continue his calculation?

437
00:34:07,860 --> 00:34:11,860
You've been escalating things
in North America and Europe.

438
00:34:11,860 --> 00:34:15,100
Those are terrorist attacks.

439
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:17,620
I'm practicing Lord's will.

440
00:34:17,620 --> 00:34:21,340
"Lord will come to punish vice."

441
00:34:21,340 --> 00:34:27,900
Once the Three-Body Problem is solved,
we'll all be saved.

442
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:29,980
You naive Redemptionists!

443
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:35,420
You reject the redemptive power
for your goal of destruction, don't you?

444
00:34:35,420 --> 00:34:38,540
Look around. They deserve it.

445
00:34:38,540 --> 00:34:39,940
"Human society can no longer

446
00:34:39,940 --> 00:34:43,060
rely on its own power
to solve its problems."

447
00:34:43,060 --> 00:34:46,500
That's what Commander said.

448
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:50,260
"Human society
can no longer rely on its own power

449
00:34:50,260 --> 00:34:53,060
to restrain its madness.

450
00:34:53,060 --> 00:34:55,540
Therefore,
we ask Lord to come to this world,

451
00:34:55,540 --> 00:35:01,940
and with its power, forcefully watch over us
and transform us

452
00:35:01,940 --> 00:35:07,860
so as to create a brand-new,
perfect human civilization."

453
00:35:08,220 --> 00:35:13,580
That's Commander's original words
and our plan, too.

454
00:35:13,580 --> 00:35:16,580
You remember every word of it.

455
00:35:16,580 --> 00:35:20,260
Having Lord come here is our plan, no?

456
00:35:20,260 --> 00:35:22,940
What the Redemptionists
like you are doing?

457
00:35:22,940 --> 00:35:26,340
You really believe
your so-called redemption

458
00:35:26,340 --> 00:35:27,980
can solve Lord's problems?

459
00:35:27,980 --> 00:35:30,900
And what you people have done?

460
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:35,940
You intercepted Lord's messages,
distorted Lord's will,

461
00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:40,420
brainwashed and threatened
members of our organization nonstop.

462
00:35:40,420 --> 00:35:44,940
I know you, the Adventists,
have your own secret agenda, don't you?

463
00:35:44,940 --> 00:35:47,460
That is to destroy all humans.

464
00:35:47,460 --> 00:35:51,580
The human race is an evil species.

465
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:55,580
Human civilization has committed
unforgivable crimes against the Earth

466
00:35:55,580 --> 00:35:59,300
and must be punished.

467
00:36:00,420 --> 00:36:03,460
The ultimate goal of the Adventists
is to ask Lord

468
00:36:03,460 --> 00:36:09,580
to carry out this divine punishment:
the destruction of all humankind.

469
00:36:09,580 --> 00:36:12,780
That's already an open secret.

470
00:36:12,780 --> 00:36:17,940
With the humans gone,
the world will be changed.

471
00:36:17,940 --> 00:36:21,980
That's why we're the Adventists
instead of the Terminators.

472
00:36:21,980 --> 00:36:25,060
You misrepresented Lord's will.

473
00:36:25,060 --> 00:36:29,460
You used to be one of us,
but somehow,

474
00:36:29,460 --> 00:36:33,340
you were converted to a Redemptionist,

475
00:36:33,460 --> 00:36:39,060
which is slightly better
than those cockamamie Survivors.

476
00:36:39,060 --> 00:36:45,020
Both you and I know
we won't be able to see Lord coming.

477
00:36:45,020 --> 00:36:48,020
The world is beyond redemption,

478
00:36:48,020 --> 00:36:53,060
but you're afraid of change
as you see it equals destruction.

479
00:36:53,060 --> 00:36:58,620
Only those who rise above death
understand the coming of Lord.

480
00:36:58,740 --> 00:37:01,340
You know what Lord's will is?

481
00:37:01,340 --> 00:37:05,140
I'll be able to hear its voice.

482
00:37:05,140 --> 00:37:07,500
Halt Wei Cheng's computation.

483
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:10,060
End your so-called redemption.

484
00:37:10,060 --> 00:37:15,540
Otherwise, you will be destroyed.

485
00:37:24,620 --> 00:37:28,260
Clearly, humans can't
rely on their own power

486
00:37:28,260 --> 00:37:31,660
to restrain their madness.

487
00:37:32,380 --> 00:37:40,260
But I'll keep hope alive
and continue saving this broken world.

488
00:37:42,140 --> 00:37:45,300
Wei Cheng is still
working on his calculation.

489
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:47,740
You think he'll make it?

490
00:37:47,740 --> 00:37:52,380
Shen Yufei said she'd be able to
hear the voice from the Lord.

491
00:37:52,380 --> 00:37:53,460
Do you think so?

492
00:37:53,460 --> 00:37:57,780
I want her to stop, completely.

493
00:37:57,780 --> 00:38:03,380
You said it's only human beings
who're violated, while the world's changed.

494
00:38:03,380 --> 00:38:05,180
I have a question.

495
00:38:05,180 --> 00:38:06,900
A question?

496
00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:09,060
That is quite unusual of you.

497
00:38:09,060 --> 00:38:13,260
Commander, which side is she on?

498
00:38:13,260 --> 00:38:14,860
The Adventists?

499
00:38:14,860 --> 00:38:17,100
The Redemptionists?

500
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:20,300
Or the Survivors?

501
00:38:20,820 --> 00:38:23,220
She... is the Commander.

502
00:38:23,220 --> 00:38:27,300
So why would she choose a side?

503
00:38:29,820 --> 00:38:31,540
Why haven't they sent the email?

504
00:38:31,540 --> 00:38:32,420
Have they forgotten?

505
00:38:32,420 --> 00:38:33,620
It's only been one day.

506
00:38:33,620 --> 00:38:36,460
Be patient.

507
00:38:49,580 --> 00:38:54,860
(Ye Wenjie)

508
00:38:55,260 --> 00:38:57,380
What's wrong?

509
00:38:57,380 --> 00:39:00,060
Are you surprised?

510
00:39:03,780 --> 00:39:05,660
What is this?

511
00:39:05,660 --> 00:39:07,020
You tell me.

512
00:39:07,020 --> 00:39:08,820
Think about it.

513
00:39:08,820 --> 00:39:15,700
Who was it that told you
about the Frontiers of Science?

514
00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:17,300
You.

515
00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:24,340
I mean, who first introduced you
to the Frontiers of Science?

516
00:39:24,540 --> 00:39:27,340
Shen Yufei.

517
00:39:27,540 --> 00:39:29,540
Who made you see the universe flicker?

518
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:32,380
Shen Yufei.

519
00:39:33,780 --> 00:39:36,020
Who talked you into
playing Three-Body?

520
00:39:36,020 --> 00:39:36,740
Shen Yufei.

521
00:39:36,740 --> 00:39:39,020
You have a one-track mind, don't you?

522
00:39:39,020 --> 00:39:41,500
Think it over.

523
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:44,900
Without Ye Wenjie,
would you see the flicker?

524
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:47,980
Without Ye Wenjie,
would you understand the flying stars?

525
00:39:47,980 --> 00:39:51,660
Without such knowledge,
would you get the hang of the game?

526
00:39:51,660 --> 00:39:54,340
I don't want to be suspicious,
but she made me.

527
00:39:54,340 --> 00:39:57,780
She's everywhere in my leads!

528
00:39:57,780 --> 00:40:00,380
Shen Yufei booked
a train ticket to Hai City.

529
00:40:00,380 --> 00:40:03,220
K1303, departs at 22:13.

530
00:40:03,220 --> 00:40:05,820
- She's boarded the train...
- Wait. Hold on...

531
00:40:05,820 --> 00:40:07,900
Hai City?

532
00:40:07,900 --> 00:40:10,020
Hai City...

533
00:40:10,020 --> 00:40:11,740
Shen Yufei.

534
00:40:11,740 --> 00:40:14,380
Hai City.

535
00:40:14,380 --> 00:40:18,860
Shen Yufei's foreign-funded company
owns a red ginseng factory in Qijiatun.

536
00:40:18,860 --> 00:40:21,900
Qijiatun neighbors Hai City.

537
00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:25,740
It takes only 30 minutes from Hai City
to Qijiatun.

538
00:40:25,740 --> 00:40:27,860
(Ye Wenjie)
Does red ginseng need nanotech?

539
00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:31,500
A few days ago, an old friend
from the base brought a gift for me.

540
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:32,620
Here you are.

541
00:40:32,620 --> 00:40:34,780
(Red Ginseng)
This is the red ginseng you gave me.

542
00:40:34,780 --> 00:40:36,060
Thank you.

543
00:40:36,060 --> 00:40:37,420
She's on a business trip.

544
00:40:37,420 --> 00:40:40,300
They're apples and oranges.
So Far-fetched!

545
00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:42,620
Nanotech and ginseng?

546
00:40:42,620 --> 00:40:44,340
No.

547
00:40:44,340 --> 00:40:46,300
What do you mean?

548
00:40:46,300 --> 00:40:48,980
They're unrelated?

549
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:53,620
Why didn't you tell me
that Ye Wenjie gave you red ginseng?

550
00:40:53,620 --> 00:40:57,980
I didn't know Shen Yufei's company
also owns such a factory.

551
00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:10,980
Here it is.

552
00:41:13,900 --> 00:41:15,220
(Address: No. 39, Qijiatun)

553
00:41:15,220 --> 00:41:17,340
No. 39, Qijiatun.

554
00:41:17,340 --> 00:41:20,300
May I use your computer?

555
00:41:26,220 --> 00:41:28,060
Call Ye Wenjie.

556
00:41:28,060 --> 00:41:28,740
Now?

557
00:41:28,740 --> 00:41:32,260
Yeah. Do it!

558
00:41:35,980 --> 00:41:37,940
(Xinlai Red Ginseng for Better Health)

559
00:41:37,940 --> 00:41:39,700
This ginseng factory

560
00:41:39,700 --> 00:41:41,860
(Processed Ginseng Products)
has hardly sold any products.

561
00:41:41,860 --> 00:41:43,340
They must still be in R

562
00:41:43,340 --> 00:41:44,660
(Please try again later.)

563
00:41:44,660 --> 00:41:45,540
She didn't pick up.

564
00:41:45,540 --> 00:41:47,820
It's 10 PM. Perhaps she's asleep.

565
00:41:47,820 --> 00:41:49,500
So Ye Wenjie's friend

566
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:52,380
happened to buy red ginseng
from Shen Yufei's factory

567
00:41:52,380 --> 00:41:55,340
that was hardly sold
and gave it to her,

568
00:41:55,340 --> 00:41:59,260
then she regifted it to you.
What are the odds?

569
00:41:59,420 --> 00:42:04,540
The ginseng can be kept for six years
and it was produced two years ago.

570
00:42:04,540 --> 00:42:05,580
What does that tell us?

571
00:42:05,580 --> 00:42:10,340
Shen Yufei and Ye Wenjie go way back!

572
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:19,300
Yes?

573
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:21,740
OK.

574
00:42:21,740 --> 00:42:22,740
Found it.

575
00:42:22,740 --> 00:42:26,300
Ye Wenjie also bought
a ticket to Hai City.
