Chapter 625: Choosing Hope
So is it really possible for this plan to succeed? The chairman of the Facing Wall Planning Committee asked.
Hines replied, "If you're asking if you can break through Tomoko's blockade, then the answer is yes. ”
This once again caused an uproar in the audience, and it was this that people were most concerned about.
"As I said earlier, the greatest advantage of humanity is that there are eight planets in the solar system, and we already have the ability to use the resources of these planets." Hines further explains:
"Chiko can move at a speed close to the speed of light, and the Earth is a very small place relative to the speed of light, and it only takes 0.133 seconds to orbit the Earth, so it can interfere with 10,000 accelerators on the Earth at the same time."
"But if we spread 10,000 accelerators across planets, let's take the nearest Mars, for example. It takes 182 seconds for the speed of light to reach Mars at the closest point from Earth, and 1342 seconds at the farthest point, so it is obviously impossible for the Chiko to exist on Earth and Mars at the same time. ”
All three of humanity's fleets are able to put their bases in orbit around Jupiter, and building a high-energy accelerator on Mars is not a problem at all.
"So even if we only build a high-energy accelerator on Mars, the Trisolaran civilization must let a wise son interfere with the operation of the accelerator on Mars. According to this evolution, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and even all the way to Pluto, the three-body civilization must continue to increase the number of intelligent sons in order to maintain the blockade of human technology. ”
"If we can force the Three-Body Civilization to build ten or more Zhizi, then they will be the ones who have fallen into a big trough of socio-economic collapse! Even if the three-body civilization finally occupies the solar system, they don't have enough resources to complete the migration of civilization, except for a very few people, the other three-body people will stay in the constellation of Centauri and wait for death! ”
This is the greatest advantage of mankind, once it falls into a protracted war and a war of attrition, it will be the three-body civilization that will suffer no matter what.
It's like playing a game of real-time strategy, even if your technology climbs first, not being able to win quickly is still equivalent to a slow death.
Who made the galaxy where the three-body civilization is located have only one planet? This is the difference in the size of the two civilizations.
At this moment, the people of the Facing Wall Planning Committee suddenly realized that the moment human beings walked out of the earth and were able to use the resources of the entire solar system planets, they had the scientific and technological foundation to break through the blockade of Zhizi.
It's just that the human beings of this era are too arrogant, and they are locked up by Zhizi despite the basic science, and they arrogantly think that they already have the strength to compete with the three-body civilization.
A large amount of resources were spent on the combined fleet that couldn't even defeat a drop of water, but it didn't think of using the advantages of the eight planets to fight a guerrilla war with Tomoko.
It was always with the idea of finishing the battle in one battle, and the tragedy of the total annihilation of the Combined Fleet in the Battle of Doomsday was born.
"So, does humanity still have a chance to win?" The chairman of the Facing Wall Planning Committee asked in surprise.
It was only at this moment that mankind realized the severity of basic science and technology being locked by Zhizi, and if it could successfully break through the blockade, wouldn't it be that humanity still had a chance to win the war?
However, Hines shook his head helplessly and said: "If this had been realized a hundred years earlier, no, decades earlier, humanity would indeed have a chance to win." It's too late! ”
"Why is it too late?"
"Water droplets, no one can stop them."
This sentence brought everyone back to the cruel reality, yes, the detectors of the three-body civilization have already arrived in the city, what is the point of breaking through the blockade of Zhizi at this time?
Now that the water droplets have entered the solar system, they are less than 24 hours away from reaching the Earth.
Tomoko can't directly destroy human buildings, but water droplets can!
It is capable of running through the earth like a bullet through cheese, and once the droplets of water are reached, there will be no place on earth that is safe.
In this case, how can human beings build 10,000 high-energy accelerators, but also scattered in all corners of the solar system.
More than 1,300 stellar-class warships of the North American fleet and the European fleet were wiped out by the droplets, and there was no need to count on the more than 600 stellar-class warships of the Asian fleet remaining on the earth.
What is even more desperate is that there will be nine more droplets to reach the solar system in three years, enough to orbit all the planets in the solar system, and humanity has no hope of even guerrilla warfare.
Although the main fleet of the Three-Body Civilization is still 2.1 light-years away from the solar system, ten drops of water are enough to turn the solar system upside down!
"Is it too late······"
The flame of hope that had been kindled in people's eyes was extinguished at this moment.
Giving hope and then destroying it is the cruelest thing.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" A member of the audience shouted hysterically, "We have a chance to win, and humanity should not have fallen into today's field······"
Hines replied with a sigh, "Sorry, we all have the limitations of our own times. Just as I did not anticipate that humanity would have a chance to get out of the earth, you are too blindly optimistic and lack an understanding of the cruelty of war. ”
The silence at the hearing was deathly, and to this day it is not the fault of any one person.
It's not that humanity has never had a chance, it's just that it keeps missing out in despair and arrogance.
Luo Ji concluded: "In the final analysis, it is still too difficult for a civilization to lack the courage to fight to the end with the three-body civilization, even if it is to die together in the end." ”
In fact, Luo Ji is also secretly preparing his wall-facing plan, and refusing to restore the identity of the wall-facing person is also part of his plan.
If it is really a last resort, he can only prepare to let the human civilization and the three-body civilization come to an end.
Just when everyone was feeling extremely sorry for the fact that humanity had missed a good opportunity, Qiao Lu, who should have been the protagonist of the hearing, but had been allowing Hines to speak for him, finally spoke:
"Just do it, and I'll figure it out."
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Qiao Lu again, as if they finally remembered that this hearing of the Facing Wall Plan was to question Qiao Lu.
"Do you have a way to deal with the droplets?" Luo Ji asked in surprise.
Hines flatly denied: "Impossible! The strong interaction force of water droplets is harder than anything in the solar system, and it is impossible to pose a threat to it with current human technology! ”
The combined fleet, at the cost of more than 1,300 stellar warships, proved that the weapons of human civilization have no effect on water droplets, how can this be fought?
"Somebody's going to have to give it a try, anyway."
Qiao Lu turned to the auditorium of the Facing Wall Project hearing, where there was a large amount of media, and the camera was focused on him.
Facing the billions of people watching the live broadcast or broadcast, Qiao Lu said loudly:
"What about you? If human civilization is about to perish, what impression do you want to leave behind? Is it a ridiculous gesture of being on the verge of collapse in despair and having fun in time? Or will you never give up until the last moment, and let this cruel universe see the courage and perseverance of human beings? ”
The existence of the Three-Body Civilization has proved that human beings are not alone in the universe. Even if human civilization is finally destroyed, there may still be something left.
The hopeless people finally slowly raised their heads, and if this was really the last day of human civilization, then they probably also shouldered the responsibility of giving the final definition of human civilization.
Here, Qiao Lu said a sentence that is well-known on the wandering earth:
"Wherever the end result leads human history, we decide, choose hope!"
