"Do not

answer".

"Do not answer"!

"Do not answer"!

Do not answer.

Do not answer.

When I received the first message, no more than nine years had passed

since the time I had sent the message to the sun.

Then the source of this transmission must be around four light-years away.

It could only have come from the closest extra-solar stellar system,

Alpha Centauri.

In the four hours after that day,

for the first time,

I learned of the existence of another world,

of Trisolaris.

Of course

I also learned of their plan to migrate to the stars.

Why don't you tell me?

Wenjie, don't be burdened with thoughts.

You can tell me anything.

We can shoulder everything together.

Do you know how dangerous it was

for you to be unconscious out there?

You've known everything?

You're pregnant. It's such a big deal. Why don't you tell me?

Why?

Tell me.

I became a mother

that day.

My daughter is Yang Dong.

It might be a coincidence.

From that day on,

both my life

and the history of human civilization had a fresh start.

Wang,

now,

I will answer your question.

Why does Lord have to extinguish nanomaterial?

Because it can allow humans to escape gravity

and engage in space construction at a much larger scale.

The space elevator?

You immediately think of the space elevator

from Flying Blade.

This may be but a tiny invention.

But for humans on Earth, its meaning would be significant.

If ultrastrong nanomaterials could be mass produced,

This will affect the advent of the Lord.

Thus, this technology must be extinguished.

This is useless.

This is not basic research.

Based on what we've already found out, someone else can figure out the rest.

It's far more effective to confuse the researchers' minds.

What is at the end of the countdown?

What?

Like you point out, this is applied research after all,

not as effective as basic research.

Basic research?

Physics does not exist.

Yang Dong.

How did she die?

Captain, we've arrived at the place outside as planned.

Move.

All units, move!

Indeed, compared to our Lord who possesses peerless strength,

everything we do is meaningless.

Move now.

Move.

What happened?

What's wrong?

Everyone, freeze! Keep down!

Professor Wang.

Professor Wang, follow me.

Don't move!

Keep down! Keep down!

It won't be fun if you move again.

Hand over your weapons.

I swear I'm going to kill the next bonehead who tries anything.

I know that none of you is afraid to die, but we're not afraid either.

I'm going to say this up front.

Normal police procedures and laws don't apply to you.

Even the human laws of warfare no longer apply to you.

Since you've decided to treat the entire human race as your enemy,

there's no longer anything we wouldn't do to you.

Officers,

we hold in our hands three nuclear bombs.

Don't move.

Keep down!

Everyone, keep down!

Professor Wang, leave here as soon as possible.

Each of them is with a yield of about one point five kilotons.

This is the detonator.

Snipers, look for a favorable firing position.

Chief Commander, please allow me to find another firing position.

Our demand is simple.

Let Commander go.

Then we can play whatever game you want.

I stay with my comrades.

Is it truly a nuclear bomb?

I think it's just a ball.

- Do you want to have a try? - Don't!

Snipers' sight is obstructed.

The first shoot can't be guaranteed.

There's another way.

We can shoot the sphere.

Won't that set off the bomb?

but it won't lead to a nuclear explosion.

Leave her to me.

What tricks are you trying to play?

We need to have a talk.

Don't move. Don't follow me.

Stop.

Calm down.

I believe I have some information you'll definitely want to know.

Your mom has been found.

Your mother has been found.

Your mom's letter.

Which one of you will come and take it?

Radiation! Go!

Go!

Hurry!

Put down the gun!

Put down

the gun!

Put down the gun.

How are you?

It's nothing.

Just some superficial injuries. I'm fine.

You call using a pistol against a nuclear bomb nothing?

Do you think it's enough for me to brag about it for ten years?

It's enough for you to brag about for your whole life.

That's worth it then.

Okay.

Are you also hurt?

Have a rest.

Shi Qiang.

That's okay.

Roger.

These are not superficial injuries.

You detonated a nuclear bomb five meters away.

What will kill you is the radiation.

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

If it's a curse, I believe a smile would let it go.

Are all scientists in position?

They're ready in the adjacent surveillance room

to provide you with technical support at any time.

My name is Chang Weisi.

Let's get started.

Name?

Ye Wenjie.

Birth date?

June 1947.

Employment?

given your health condition,

you can request a break at any time.

Thank you.

There's no need.

I know what you're referring to.

Yes, I'll cooperate.

Our investigation revealed

that while you were working at Red Coast Base,

you were suspected of murder.

I did kill two people.

Political Commissar Lei Zhicheng,

and my husband, Chief Engineer

Yang Weining.

Can I assume that you understand

the relevant information?

We know the basics.

If something is unclear, we'll ask you.

Good.

"Do not

answer".

Ye Wenjie, I really didn't think you would do such a thing.

Eight hours have passed

since you received the first message.

Instead of making a report,

you deleted the original message and maybe hid a copy privately.

Isn't that right?

I know your next move.

You plan to reply, right?

If I hadn't discovered this in time,

you could have ruined all human civilization!

Of course,

I'm not saying that we're afraid of an interstellar invasion.

Even if we assumed the worst and that really did happen,

the outer space invaders

would surely drown in the ocean of the people's righteous war.

This is indisputable.

Ye Wenjie, I knew you were capable of doing something like this.

Because you've always held a deep hatred toward those who once hurt you.

You would seize any opportunity for revenge.

But have you considered the consequences of your action?

I was too afraid.

That's why I didn't make a report.

Too scared?

Ye Wenjie,

to be honest, I have no pity for you at all.

But I cannot bear to see Yang Weining ruined along with you,

and I certainly cannot allow his child to be ruined as well.

You're pregnant, right?

You will soon be a mother.

I'm telling you. Even though Yang Weining had nothing to do with this,

your deeds would certainly implicate him if revealed.

Just like you were implicated by your father your whole life.

And your unborn baby's whole life would also be implicated by you.

Have you thought about these?

Wenjie,

have a seat.

This must be taken care of.

But there's still a silver lining.

Luckily, only you and I know what happened.

What we must do is to minimize the impact

of your actions.

From now on, don't mention this to anyone,

including Yang Weining.

I will

take care of the rest.

Wenjie, you must believe me.

Weining has been my comrades for so many years.

We have a deep personal friendship. I have to help him with this.

As long as you cooperate,

you can avoid the disastrous consequences.

Once he reported this,

my reply would soon be discovered.
