Three-Body Problem: Please Stop Pressing the Button, I'll Give You All the Technology

In the 62nd year of the Deterrence Era, all mankind bet on Cheng Xin as the sword bearer, waiting for the "peace dividend" from the Three Body. Until three sets of experimental data revealed the truth: the sixty-two years of technological output were all exquisite cages with ceilings welded shut. In a shocking reversal of the election, Thomas Wade came back to win with a 0.4% Vote margin. Only ten seconds after the handover, the two water droplets in low-Earth orbit retreated to the orbit of Jupiter at full speed, fearing that the delay would trigger a broadcast. Vader's first note after taking office: Complete the basic physics library within 72 hours. One parameter is missing, and the deterrence level will be upgraded by one level. Three-body overnight packing curvature formula: don't press it! All for you! After eight years of iron fist, Vader outsourced the Trisolaran technology, and the lightspeed spacecraft and the Black Domain Project were running wildly on both fronts. The people called him a dictatorial tyrant, the opposition colluded with the Three-Body Problem to launch a coup, and the six water drops simultaneously forced the palace to test. Wade's fingertips rested on the button: move forward one centimeter and return to zero together. On the day the referendum was held to abolish the Sword Bearer, Trisolaris thought it had finally come out on top, but no one knew that this lunatic had already left a backup plan for human civilization.
