Episode 27 recap: The Formation of the Three-Body Organization by Ye Wenjie.
At the moment when Ye Wenjie's stepfather was taking her home, he also asked her to understand her mother's suffering. After that, she didn't continue to have contact with her mother and didn't oppose her daughter Yang Dong meeting her mother. Yang Dong also understood Ye Wenjie and never mentioned her grandmother in front of her. At that time, Ye Wenjie often thought about bringing higher-level civilizations from the universe into the human world. It became her unwavering ideal. Half a year after Ye Wenjie returned to university, she received a significant project: designing a large-scale radio astronomy observation base. For this purpose, she went out with her project team and visited many places before finally choosing a location with optimal electromagnetic conditions.
It was a remote mountainous area in the northwest. With the introduction of the villagers, Ye Wenjie quickly got to know Bai Qiu'en, a foreigner who lived in the mountains and planted trees. Bai Qiu'en referred to himself as someone who came here to find a savior. Later, Bai Qiu'en told Ye Wenjie about a bird he had saved. Seeing what was happening before her eyes, Ye Wenjie became very interested in what Bai Qiu'en had done. In her impression, Bai Qiu'en's father was a multi-millionaire, but he didn't live his life according to his father's wishes like ordinary people. Instead, he wanted to try to save those in need. That was also the first time Ye Wenjie heard about the theory of species equality. At that time, Ye Wenjie envied Bai Qiu'en because he made her realize that in that era, one could live according to their own will.
Afterward, the two didn't meet again, and Ye Wenjie returned to Beijing. Three years later, she received a postcard from Bai Qiu'en and went back to that place to meet her old friend. After a long separation, the two had a lot of conversations. Bai Qiu'en also talked about his reasons for coming to the East, which made Ye Wenjie understand his feelings very well. Afterward, she told her friend about Hong'an and the Three-Body problem. Her friend also made some arguments to verify Ye Wenjie's speculations, and the two became like-minded good friends.
Bai Qiu'en disappeared for three years, and Ye Wenjie had no idea whether he was somewhere in the world proving everything he had told her or how he would prove it. In a winter three years later, Ye Wenjie suddenly received an invitation from an unknown university in Western Europe to become a visiting scholar for six months. At the airport, a young man accompanied Ye Wenjie on a plane. They were headed to the Second Red Coast Base.
Bai Qiu'en also stepped forward to meet his old friend, and everything the other party said was confirmed. The mighty Three-Body Fleet had set sail, with its destination being the solar system. It would arrive at its destination in 450 years. What Ye Wenjie now saw were the initial members of the Earth Three-Body Organization. Bai Qiu'en's current ideal was to have the Three-Body civilization remodel human civilization, curbing humanity's madness and evil, and making Earth once again a harmonious and prosperous world without sin.
More and more people who identified with their ideals joined the organization, and the entire organization was rapidly expanding. Its members were spread across the world. With the recommendation of Copernicus, Ye Wenjie quickly became the highest leader and commander of the Earth Three-Body Organization. The Earth's Three-Body Organization warriors highly recognized her qualifications. Together, they shouted slogans to eliminate human tyranny, proclaiming that the world belonged to the Three-Body.
At that time, Ye Wenjie couldn't make any judgments that went beyond her understanding of history. She thought she could lead spiritually to make up for past mistakes. However, it only made her realize one thing: the former Ye Wenjie had some expectations of the Trisolarans, but now she knew that Bai Qiu'en did not reveal his true thoughts to her. He only expressed his sense of mission toward other species on Earth.
What Ye Wenjie didn't expect was that this sense of mission would lead her to develop such extreme hatred towards humanity, to the point where she desired its destruction and the ultimate ideal of Three-Body civilization. After the establishment of several factions within the Three-Body Organization, Ye Wenjie ignited the fire, but she was unable to control it. When Chang Wei Si asked Ye Wenjie the final question about whether the only signal sent from the Three-Body world to Earth so far was the electromagnetic wave, she fell silent.
