Soon, the Star Alliance government released a detection plan, which planned to use sophons to investigate the surrounding star systems and gain a better understanding of the surrounding environment.

Although the Trisolarans have carried out this work, on the one hand they are reluctant to use sophons to detect the surrounding environment because of the sophons' blind spots, and on the other hand humans cannot trust them.

There are thousands of star systems within a hundred light-years of the solar system. Theoretically, at the speed of sophons, it would only take a century or two to detect them all.

The most ideal plan is, of course, to deploy sophons in every star system. However, this is unrealistic because the cost is too huge and the Milky Way is too big.

However, considering the dark forest attack, humans must conduct some reconnaissance. Even if there are losses caused by sophon blind spots, this kind of work cannot be given up.

Because the explosion of technology means that any nearby alien neighbor may be able to compete with three civilizations within a few centuries.

At the same time, humans will mark all places with sophon blind spots as dangerous, and conduct detailed exploration inside after technological breakthroughs are made.

If an alien civilization is discovered that lags behind humans, humans will let sophons stay there for a long time and launch a scientific blockade against that alien civilization.

As for alien civilizations that are more advanced than humans, it is impossible for humans to discover them, because their technology is more advanced and their hidden technology is also more advanced.

After this project was launched, the Human Federation, the Star Alliance and the Trisolaran Civilization jointly began to explore nearby star systems and consciously locked down the technology of alien civilizations.

Say, on the other hand, has entered a state of hibernation. On the one hand, she is a bit old, and on the other hand, she is a bit out of date.

Although humans and Trisolarans are still defensive, with the improvement of gene editing technology, the intelligence level of newborn humans is almost the same as that of Say.

In addition, with the continuous breakthroughs in technology, Say gradually began to suffer from worse conditions. She gradually became unable to understand new technologies and the most cutting-edge technologies.

So if there was nothing major, Sai decided to hibernate and see if there would be any technological breakthroughs in the future, such as the birth of black technology such as small universes.

……..

Galaxy Era 40, Trisolaran Civilization World No. 2

As the three civilizations began to gradually become interstellar civilizations, the Trisolaran civilization naturally realized their dream, which was to find a home that would always be in the Eternal Era.

Nowadays, the Trisolaran civilization has colonized three star systems. The original Trisolaran world has gradually become a marginal world, and the main body of the civilization has migrated to World No. 1.

The same applies to the Star Alliance and the Human Federation. In addition to the solar system, the Star Alliance is now developing three star systems, and the Human Federation is also developing two star systems.

At the same time, with the reduction of the technological gap and the influence of mutual deterrence, the three civilizations established a coalition and gradually began to unite the front to survive in the dark forest.

Now the Federation has 10 galaxies. Between these galaxies, interstellar trains shuttle and transport resources, and the virtual world of super-light communication connects them.

At this time, in World No. 2 of the Trisolaran Civilization, ultra-large-scale development was underway, and several planets were surrounded by huge space city complexes and space factories.

Especially on the three solid planets, the huge engineering machinery and factories that represent traces of civilization activities are rapidly spreading and expanding around them like viruses.

Whether it is resources on the surface of the planet or various resources deep underground, they have been destructively exploited by the Trisolaran civilization and separated into various elements.

From a certain perspective, this proves the validity of the Dark Forest Law, because the three civilizations of the Federation have now exceeded a specific technological threshold.

That is the skyrocketing rate of expansion in the universe. The three civilizations are all developing at an unimaginable speed. The activities of the civilizations are even enough to affect the planet itself.

Coupled with the limitation of light speed navigation, perhaps one day, the three civilizations of the alliance will break up due to lack of resources and become enemies again.

But that day has not yet come. In the dark universe, there are countless wandering hunters and sophon blind spots, so the three civilizations can only survive by uniting together.

At this time, the Trisolaran civilization discovered something strange, that is, a huge super fleet was approaching World No. 2. Judging from the gravity detector, this thing was not small.

However, the other party does not seem to have space curvature drive technology, and can only use a conventional engine like a snail, with a speed of about one thousandth of the speed of light.

This speed is not very fast for humans and Trisolarans. Nowadays, the spacecraft of both parties can already travel at a quarter of the speed of light during regular navigation.

Of course, it may also be because the spacecraft is too massive, so the other party wants to save some fusion fuel or antimatter fuel, but this fully shows that the other party does not have the ability to travel at the speed of light.

This is obviously not a hunter, because a civilization that does not even have a light-speed spacecraft and can be observed by the coalition is not qualified to be a hunter civilization.

This incident immediately caused a sensation at the top level of the alliance, because based on the light of the engine, it was speculated that the fleet was slowing down, and its destination was World No. 2 of the Trisolaran civilization.

Therefore, Sai, who had been hibernating for a long time, was also awakened. This time, the person responsible for welcoming her was the President of the Star Alliance. The other party was a young woman. To be precise, the other party's image was that of a young woman.

Sai was sure of this because when she opened her eyes, she found herself on a grassland as beautiful as in an ancient cartoon.

It is impossible for me to wake up on the grassland, and compared to the grassland in the real world, the beauty here is a bit unreal. It seems that this is a virtual world.

Today's virtual world seems to be the same as the real world in terms of fidelity. Except for the irregular quantum motion at the micro level that cannot be simulated, everything at the macro level can be simulated.

In addition to the Human Federation, which has relatively backward industrial strength and scientific level, the core of the Star Alliance and the Trisolaran civilization are now beginning to move towards the virtual world of trillions of square kilometers.

However, the situation that the ancients once worried about human beings being immersed in the virtual world has never been born, because maintaining a realistic virtual world requires consuming a lot of resources.

For example, the giant quantum computer that maintains the existence of the virtual world, the amazing energy consumed to run the giant quantum computer, and the maintenance of the quantum computer itself.

On the contrary, this proves the correctness of the Dark Forest Law, because as the scale of the civilized virtual world expands, and research on how to simulate a more accurate virtual world requires the consumption of a lot of resources.
