Chapter 1819 Ladder Plan
It has been three years since the news of the Trisolaran was exposed, and although there is no major turmoil in the society, the foundation has been shaken, which can be known from the high suicide rate.
From time to time, there is a saying that human beings have no future, and negativity is spreading all the time, which is not a good phenomenon. And the most exaggerated is the birth of the Three-Body Religion, countless people hope to use their sincerity to influence the Three-Body Religion, and hope that the Three-Body People will give up the invasion and become the gods who guide mankind.
In short, there are many kinds of things, only the unexpected, the non-findable.
And at the forefront of the fight against the Trisolarans, it is much simpler, and the thinking is also very unified, that is, to defeat the Trisolarans and strive for victory for the earthlings.
After Duran joined the cryopod mission, he made great contributions, overcoming difficulties one after another, and proving the value of Mad Scientist with his strength.
At this time, Manuel Rediaz has finally become the first person to carry out his plan, he wants to research a super nuclear bomb, which is more powerful than all current nuclear bombs of mankind, and even too powerful to detonate on the surface, because the explosion may deflect the earth and cause permanent climate change.
This super nuclear bomb will be sent to Mercury to detonate, and Rediaz said that as long as humans master this ultimate nuclear bomb, then even if the Trisolarans come from far away, they will only be wiped out.
For a while, all the people on earth were excited, and they were all looking forward to witnessing the news of the super nuclear bomb exploding on the surface of Mercury. It may take a few more years to succeed, but this is the first time that the wall-facing person has exerted his strength, and everyone is naturally looking forward to it, which shows that the wall-facing person is not wasting taxpayers' money in vain, but is actually carrying out the task.
And the super nuclear bomb can really make people feel safe in this environment, the nuclear bomb is the most powerful weapon that mankind currently has in its possession, and everyone believes that the nuclear bomb can change the tide of war.
There is nothing that cannot be solved by a large-tonnage nuclear bomb, and if there is, then the tonnage is doubled.
The voices of the wall-facing people were exciting, and although there was no news about the other three wall-facers, it was believed that they must be working hard.
Of course, they didn't know that there was a young man named Luo Ji who spent the money of the United Nations to live his own comfortable life in the green waters and green mountains, and even used the power of the state apparatus to find his ideal dream lover in the vast sea of people, and the small life was called a comfortable life. Of course, the money he spent on his life was not even a fraction of the research funds of the other three facers, so the United Nations did not intervene more.
Moreover, the main purpose of the wall-facing plan is to deceive, not only to deceive the three-body people, but also to deceive the earthlings, so even if the wall-facing person eats, drinks and has fun, it is also a part of the plan, and it is the wall-facing person who is hiding his true purpose.
"I really envy the wall-facers. After Duran finished the research on the cryovary, he repeatedly sighed that the treatment of the wall-facing people was too good: "I also want to be a wall-facing person, and it is really pleasant to spend the money of the United Nations to conduct research that I am interested in." ”
The people who envy are not only Duran's, countless people are envious, jealous and hateful, but unfortunately there are only four people who face the wall among the seven billion people.
Just when Duran was complaining, someone came to him again, because Duran is now famous, and everyone knows that this madman's brain research is at the forefront of the world, so many people are willing to come to the door to ask for advice on all questions about the brain.
This time, it was the United Nations' Planetary Defense Agency that came to consult with Duran, and they wanted Duran to be involved in their 'Ladder Project'.
The so-called ladder plan is to send earthlings to the Trisolaran Star.
When the Trisolarans were trying to come to Earth, the Earthlings also thought of sending humans to the Trisolaran. It's a pity that the Trisolarans still have at least a spaceship with a maximum speed of one-tenth of the speed of light, and it is difficult for humans to reach even the speed of the third universe, let alone let humans go to the Trisolarans across 4.22 light years.
Therefore, to complete this plan, first of all, the cargo capacity must be light, too heavy is not good, and the weight is just like a brain.
However, light alone cannot solve the problem of speed, and the next step is to accelerate, and some people have proposed a 'ladder plan', which is actually to use the power of a nuclear explosion to provide acceleration in stages, as if going up a step, step by step.
The design is very simple, that is, there is a sail in front of the spaceship, and the sail carries the ship forward, and every once in a while a small nuclear explosion is carried out behind the sail, and the energy of nuclear radiation is used as the wind to push the sail.
The Ladder Project was approved by the United Nations, and now it is up to the selection of a brain that can go to the universe and a scientist who can be sure that the brain will survive.
That scientist is Duran.
And the person who contacted Duran was an iron-blooded Western soldier, this serious-faced white man sat next to Duran meticulously, and he only told Duran that he was the director of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau of the Planetary Defense Council, named Thomas Vader, and he had been silent after a brief introduction.
In fact, before coming to meet Duran, Vader had read a lot of reports about Duran, and he felt that Duran's research was very valuable, and he had decided to keep Duran in the Intelligence Bureau this time to work for him.
The Ladder Project is important because this is the first time that humans have stepped out of the solar system to complete contact with aliens, so the chosen brain is very important. Vader selected people from all over the world who had knowledge of aerospace and were also suffering from diseases, hoping to select the best brain to penetrate into the Trisolar.
Vader's plan is to have the brain obtain the information of the Trisolaran, and then find a way to teleport to Earth. Of course, the chances of success are slim to none, but this plan is cost-effective so it's worth doing.
"Actually, why don't you send a few more brains, so that the United Nations will not run out of money to carry out a few more 'ladder plans'. Vader didn't speak, but Duran was willing to talk.
"It's not the United Nations' problem, it's that the entire Defense Agency has limited funding, and although this plan has passed the United Nations regulations, they won't allocate more money to us, and the ladder plan is funded entirely by the Defense Agency. "Vader didn't want to send a few more brains, one more brain and one more chance, but unfortunately reality didn't allow it.
"I see, the landlord's family has no surplus food, and it is really better to face the wall. "Duran knows that there is no upper limit to the funds of the wall-facers, so there is no need to be so careful.
Vader stopped talking, he knew that Duran's heart was full of crazy thoughts, and each one was crazier than the other, but Vader felt that Duran was an indispensable talent for mankind in this era.
When he arrived at the Planetary Defense Agency, Duran met with this batch of candidates, as well as Cheng Xin, a spacecraft researcher who proposed the possibility of a 'ladder plan'.
Cheng Xin is an orphan, but she entered the Defense Bureau directly after graduating with excellent grades, and proposed such a highly feasible plan.
And the people who contribute brains are also from all over the world, black, white and yellow are all collected, and Duran's job is to monitor the health of their brains during the selection process, and then make a cryoplane that houses and protects the brain.
Duran smiled: "My invention is definitely ten thousand times better than their current container." The container he was talking about was the bodies of the selectors, who were not in good health, and some were even pulled off the euthanasia bed.
