There is no doubt that Cheng Xin's final act of throwing out the switch announced the success of the Trisolaran plan to invade the earth.
Human civilization...at least for this part of humanity in the future, their civilization will be destroyed in one day.
But no one knows exactly what will happen. Some people speculate that the Trisolarans will directly hit the fragile parts of the plate with water droplets and use large earthquakes to effectively clean up the human race. By the time the fleet arrives on Earth, there will be no humans left and the natural disasters will have almost subsided.
, even if it has not calmed down, compared to the Trisolarans' home planet, it is still a paradise-like environment.
Or maybe, humans will be kept in captivity? However, because of this statement, for most people, it would be better to be directly destroyed, so the discussion is not very hot.
But none of this mattered anymore. The second scene ended with Cheng Xin's frightened eyes.
"End of Act 2."
"Act Three: The Survivors."
At the beginning of the video, Tomoko was standing under the deserted PDC building and said calmly to the camera: "Two human spacecraft started gravitational wave cosmic broadcasts, and our home planet was destroyed."
Without showing any more reactions from people on earth, the video screen switched to the Sophon cabin where Cheng Xin once stayed.
However, what is surprising is that Luo Ji is also here.
Cheng Xin, Luo Ji, and Zhizi, three individuals with a very strange combination, were sitting at the same table, drinking tea leisurely.
[In Trisolaris, not many people think there is anything wrong with Cheng Xin staying peacefully with Tomoko after the deterrence fails.
After all, no one thinks Cheng Xin is a good person. Judging from historical experience, adultery has a high status among the Trisolarans, and it is not impossible.
At the beginning of the third act, it was stated that the Trisolarans' home planet has been destroyed. It seems that the only option left for the Trisolarans is to go to the earth. By then, the Trisolarans, who own the entire solar system, will have to feed Cheng Xin.
For a creature that can only live for a hundred years, it shouldn't be a problem.
But the most puzzling thing is why Luo Ji is here. In the eyes of Trisolarans, he should be the most vicious devil, right?
Ordinary people in the Trisolaran world don't know why, but people like Zhang Beihai and Luo Ji, who have more authority and can communicate with Sophon, are not so entangled.
There is no other reason. The earth is too close to the Trisolarans' home star. The two galaxies themselves are the closest stars to each other. It is very likely that the dark forest attack will fall on the earthlings.
Therefore, the Trisolarans really will not come to the earth. Judging from the scene where Tomoko announced the destruction of the Trisolaran home planet, there is no super disaster. I am afraid that the Trisolarans really did not harm the people on earth too much, but chose to keep them in captivity.
way.
This is why Cheng Xin can sit peacefully in Zhizi's hut.
Luo Ji was even simpler. The Trisolarans respected him and had no motive or need for "revenge."
On board the Gravity, Luo Ji suddenly discovered a detail.
Since the Trisolaran fleet will be in a dangerous zone because the solar system is too close to the Trisolarans' home star, and is easily attacked... Is there a safety statement that would allow all other civilizations that observe the solar system to understand that there is no threat to the people on earth?
, so there is no need for a dark forest strike on the solar system?
Seemingly grasping something, Luo Ji continued to think.]
"How many of you...have escaped?" Cheng Xin asked softly, taking the lead in breaking the silence.
Tomoko replied without thinking: "About one thousandth. Plus the fleet that set off hundreds of years ago."
"How much time does the earth have?" Cheng Xin continued to ask.
Tomoko shook his head: "I don't know, this kind of thing cannot be predicted accurately. It may be a few years, or it may be hundreds of years... Just like the experiment you did last time."
After speaking, Tomoko glanced at Luo Ji.
Luo Ji, on the other hand, drank the tea brewed by Tomoko himself without being humble or arrogant.
Sophon continued: "The situation in the Trisolaran world is different from that of the solar system. After all, it is the coordinates of the Trisolaran world that are broadcast. Although the first communication in the twentieth century will definitely be checked by these civilizations, the Dark Forest attack must be done after checking...
...The most important point is that from an interstellar scale, Trisolaris is much more dangerous than the solar system, so it will be decisively attacked...I can't tell you the specific reason."
Cheng Xin asked thoughtfully: "In Mr. Luo Ji's experiment, the star was hit by light particles, and Trisolaris was also hit by light particles. Will the solar system be the same?"
[Although many people hate Cheng Xin, she did get the point right. Not only the people in the Trisolaran world, but also other worlds that suspected that their own world was also a dark forest, also paid attention to the conversation between Cheng Xin and Tomoko.
After all, this is the experience they gained by destroying their home planet!】
In response to Cheng Xin's question, Tomoko replied: "Dark Forest Strike has two similar characteristics, one is randomness and the other is economical."
Before Cheng Xin could ask a question, Tomoko explained: "The reason for the arbitrariness is that the Dark Forest is not a regular interstellar war. It is a random elimination of potential threats such as weak ones by the extremely unbalanced strong ones. And the economics are not to mention.
Well, the means of destroying an entire civilization will not be as cheap as the electromagnetic gun. Resources are limited, so when most civilizations carry out attacks in the dark forest, they will use the cheapest method, which is to use a certain mass.
The material is accelerated to close to the speed of light and used to attack civilized stars."
"Use the destructive energy of stars to destroy civilizations on planets?" Cheng Xin asked.
Tomoko nodded: "This is what we have observed so far."
[In the Marvel world, Thanos, who had narrowly escaped death, looked at the broken battleship and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, he spent a lot of money to acquire excellent cloning technology from a collector, and after cloning a corpse that looked like a real one, he was able to escape pursuit.
Just in time, he saw Tomoko's description of the attack in the dark forest on the screen.
Accelerating an object of a certain mass to the speed of light... is indeed very economical and efficient.
Whether it is used as a weapon of revenge or as a tool to efficiently clean up civilization, it is very meaningful.
After reading the relevant knowledge about family planning, Thanos still decided to carry out the great cleansing of civilized races.
But unlike before, he plans to clean up a large number of low-level civilizations in the universe, because these civilizations are like annoying bugs, very keen on producing offspring, while those high-level civilizations, because of their long life and rich life, are not interested in reproduction.
The demand is not high.
Therefore, Thanos plans to clean up those civilizations that are frantically producing offspring and already have the ability to colonize space after taking a break.
Although it will cause the planet to be destroyed to a certain extent...but aren't resources just particles in different arrangements? After tens of thousands or millions of years, the scattered matter will become usable resources again.
The resources have always been there, but they have just changed.
Of course, even if he is unwilling to admit it, Thanos has to think about a problem: some top civilizations and individuals seem not to be afraid of the impact of light particles at all. Some of them can create their own stars, some can intercept light particles, and some are even stronger than stars.
Be strong!
Such a civilization... Not only cannot we defeat it, but there is no point in defeating it...]
Cheng Xin looked at Tomoko: "Can we take the initiative to defend against the attack from the dark forest?"
Tomoko smiled and said: "In the dark forest of the universe, we are like birds under the spotlight. The bullets that kill us may come from any direction. Except for coincidence, we have no way to resist. Believe me, humans have no defense.
,Escape, let’s escape to the stars!”
"But if we escape, not even one thousandth of us will survive!" Cheng Xin looked at Sophon and said anxiously, she was really concerned about whether humans could survive.
Zhizi looked at Cheng Xin calmly: "One in a thousand is better than extinction."
[In the world of Trisolaris, Zhang Beihai picked up the calculator next to him. After typing for a long time, he called the PDC: "I don't know if you guys have come up with the results. The result I calculated is that the Death Star can definitely be used."
To house all humans around the world. My idea is to dismantle redundant weapons and take the lead in carving out a place for humans to live on the Death Star based on an average living area of 25 square meters per person to prepare for escape. With this
At the same time, the construction of the space elevator, the most efficient mode of transportation between space and earth, should be accelerated and the transportation capacity should be increased as much as possible. Material reserves must also start immediately. Sufficient materials must be stored on the Death Star, and a part must be developed separately for livestock and planting.
area to ensure that humans can survive on the Death Star for a long time..."
After talking a lot, Zhang Beihai stopped.
After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but sigh at the luck of mankind.
Even if everyone from all over the world were crammed into the Death Star, it would only be a part of the size of Mount Everest. Counting livestock and planting, it wouldn't take up much space.
After all, the diameter of the Death Star is a full 200 kilometers. Let alone filling up Mount Everest, there is no problem in adding a few more.
And the Kyber crystal that supplies energy... This is an energy source that the Trisolarans call unscientific. Considering that when needed, it basically floats in the universe and does not use super-powerful Star Destroyer Cannons. These energy sources should be luxurious enough.
】
"Okay, please don't talk about these topics anymore." Tomoko said looking at Cheng Xin who still wanted to ask something.
After bowing, Tomoko handed the tea to Cheng Xin and Luo Ji again.
Unlike Cheng Xin who had never drank a drop of tea, Luo Ji enjoyed the tea brewed by this exquisite tea art.
After taking a sip, Luo Ji said calmly: "Can't I ask any more questions?"
Unlike Tomoko, Cheng Xin was calm on the surface but didn't hide her impatience too much.
When facing Luo Ji, Tomoko was surprisingly patient.
Because while Luo Ji respected the Trisolarans, the Trisolarans also respected him.
Standing up and bowing solemnly, Tomoko said: "Please wait for me."
Then Tomoko closed her eyes, motionless like the most beautiful statue.
When the tea was no longer hot, Tomoko opened her eyes: "You can only ask one question, and I can only give three answers: yes, no, or don't know. Out of respect for you in our world, even if your question is for
We will also answer whether Trisolaris is harmful, but it is limited to one question, and it is such a vague answer."
Cheng Xin thought that such a question required careful thinking before raising it.
But Luo Ji slowly put down his tea cup and asked without thinking: "You just said that the Trisolaran world is more dangerous than the solar system from an interstellar scale. So, is there a safe life in the universe that can allow all those who observe the solar system?
Civilization has lowered its guard against this place and believes that the earth is safe enough and does not need to carry out a dark strike? Does the earth have a way to make such a statement to the universe?”
Tomoko's eyes closed again.
As time passed by, the tea water had completely cooled down to room temperature.
At this time, Tomoko opened his eyes, looked directly at Luo Ji and said, "Yes!"
Cheng Xin subconsciously asked, "What can we do?"
But Tomoko no longer looked into Luo Ji's eyes and continued the tea ceremony: "We have nothing more to tell you. There is nothing we can tell you."
[Three Body World, Zhang Beihai instinctively felt disgusted with such a safety statement.
But in the absence of information, he didn't know what the safety statement looked like, so he quickly suppressed such emotions with reason.
Compared to Zhang Beihai, Luo Ji was thinking carefully.
The reason why Trisolaris seems more dangerous is definitely not because of the harsh environment of three stars. Even ordinary civilizations do not think that such an environment can produce civilization.
Just like the earth a long time ago, there was no threat from the harsh environment next door.
Excluding this factor, it is just a human condition.
The technology of the Trisolarans is indeed more advanced than that of humans. Even if humans now conduct a lot of technical analysis on the Death Star and receive technical assistance from the Trisolarans, in a short period of time, the technological gap between the Earth and the Trisolarans will still be difficult to overcome.
imaginary.
Suddenly, Luo Ji thought of himself in the video, who had tried to use the arrangement of nuclear bombs and the light of stars to project simple coordinates.
This is undoubtedly an observational event on an interstellar scale.
Does the Trisolaran also have such man-made interstellar observation events?
Perhaps it is precisely because the Trisolarans have carried out large-scale man-made events that the Trisolaran world seems dangerous enough...
Could it be that the Trisolaran fleet is setting sail?
Yes, in the end, only one thousandth of the Trisolarans escaped the attack of the Dark Forest, and this still included the expedition fleet.
Moreover, there must not be many spacecrafts escaping the attack in Trisolaran, so the majority of the one thousandth should be from the fleet.
One thousandth does not sound like much, but if the base number is expanded to the entire civilization, it is not small!
Yes, it must be true. Only when the Trisolaran fleet set sail on a large scale did they leave any traces that can be observed from the interstellar scale, and only then can other civilizations realize that this civilization has a good level of technology.
