Chapter Ninety-Eight: The False Comet
The Führer was eagerly thinking about something about the paper tiger. The first question on the Führer's mind was whether there was a relationship between the paper tiger and the impending retaliation of the solar civilization against human civilization.
The Führer pondered this question for only a moment and came up with a definite answer. The answer is that it must be related. Because the head of state knew that Zhao Huasheng had actually been fighting for human civilization, and just before Zhao Huasheng sent this paper tiger, he had just vaguely expressed his intention to Zhao Huasheng for help. Then the Führer has reason to believe that this paper tiger must have something to do with the defense against the retaliation of the solar civilization.
Having determined this, the Führer began to think about the second question. The second question is, what kind of message does Zhao Huasheng want to tell human civilization through this paper tiger? What methods should human civilization take to avoid the blow of the solar civilization?
The revenge of the solar civilization will be something even more terrifying than the cooling of the sun. After all, the temperature of the sun is a slow process, and it will not destroy human civilization in an instant. Solar storm eruptions are different. This will destroy everything about human civilization in an instant. Human civilization has no power to fight back in the face of solar storms, nor does it have the ability to resist it.
Zhao Huasheng has undoubtedly found a way to resist the outbreak of solar storms. This method is hidden in the paper tiger in front of us, and the fate of human civilization is also hidden in this paper tiger.
"Paper Tiger, Paper Tiger......," muttered the Führer, reaching out to hold it in front of his eyes, carefully observing it with his old faint eyes, refusing to let go of any detail on the body of the paper tiger. Including every bond, every crease, every limb of the paper tiger, all carefully watched.
The Führer knew that he would not get any useful information from such observations. The reason is simple, before the paper tiger is sent to his desk, it has undergone the most rigorous inspection, just like the blank paper left by Li Qi in the first place. The researchers analyzed every detail of this paper tiger in detail, detected every crease that existed on it, and made the most detailed analysis of the fingerprints left by Zhao Huasheng on it. The inside of the paper tiger was even examined through X-ray fluoroscopy. But the scientists have found nothing.
The most advanced scientific and technological means could not find any clues from this, and it was even more impossible to see anything from this by virtue of the Führer's already somewhat dim old eyes. The Führer's doing so was merely a knee-jerk act.
"So...... I have reason to be convinced that the message that Zhao Huasheng hopes to convey to human civilization is not the paper tiger itself. It's about the meaning it bears. It's like that blank slate. But what exactly is this information? ”
The Führer was pondering carefully. His already sluggish brain was driving to maximum power regardless of the consequences. The Führer has not thought so hard for many years. In the past, no matter what happened, the Führer always looked calm, and some arrangements had been made between talking and laughing, but not at the moment.
"Paper Tiger...... Paper Tiger ......" the Führer silently recited this word in his heart. Suddenly, my mind moved.
"In the culture of our human civilization, paper tigers are generally used to describe things that are strong on the outside, but empty and weak on the inside. Well, by the way, paper tigers can also represent deterrence. Create the illusion that I am powerful to use to deter the enemy and achieve my own ends. Could it be that Watson's paper tiger represents such a meaning? But what does this have to do with resisting the retaliation of the solar civilization? Is it to create a huge illusion for human civilization to deter the solar civilization from retaliating against human civilization? This method is reasonable to think about, but it ...... What can be done to deter the solar civilization? ”
A paper tiger can mean a lot of things. In fact, if you had to make a list of all these possibilities. The list could be in the hundreds of thousands. The Führer does not know which direction of thinking is the right one, and the Führer can only choose a direction with a higher probability and keep thinking about it. If this direction of thinking ends up running into a dead end, it means that this direction is not feasible.
The current head of state has chosen such a direction and is thinking.
Having come to the conclusion of "deterrence", the Führer began to think about what methods should be used to deter the solar civilization. After thinking about it for a while, the Führer found that human civilization simply did not have the means to deter the solar civilization. After all, it is a civilization that lives on the sun, and it has cost so much just to launch a spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the sun, how can human civilization have a deterrent in the face of the sun?
"Although I am very reluctant to admit it, I have to say in the end that our human civilization is too weak. There is nothing we can do to deter the solar civilization. In this case, this is not the right way to go. The Führer shook his head tiredly, intending to think in a different direction.
But at this moment, the Führer's mind moved again. The Führer suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Nope. Our human civilization is not without the slightest means of deterrence against the solar civilization. In the recent comet impact program, we have caused huge losses to the solar civilization, which means that we still have the means to deter the solar civilization. The means of deterrence is the impact of a giant comet. But...... Comet Arthur has been sent to the sun, where do we find another comet now? ”
The Führer rubbed his forehead with his fingers, and then knocked on the table. Monjo appeared in front of the Führer in the next moment. The Führer commanded: "Monzo." You immediately contact the people in the research department, ask them if they have recently discovered anything close to the inner solar system, such as comets or asteroids, and if so, ask them to assess whether our human civilization is capable of manipulating these things. To put it simply, I want to know whether our human civilization has the ability to repeat the comet impact plan in the near future. ”
Meng Zhuo nodded and left, and after half an hour, Meng Zhuo walked in with a stack of papers in his hand, and said, "Führer, the results of the evaluation of the Ministry of Scientific Research have come out. During this time, it is true that several asteroids with considerable mass have approached the inner solar system, but ...... None of them are comets. They're just dark and cold asteroids, which means we can't change their orbit with gas jets. They are also not sun-grazing asteroids, which means that their orbit is far from the Sun. To put it simply, we have absolutely no ability to repeat the comet impact plan again. ”
"Okay, I see, you can get out." The Führer nodded slowly.
The idea of using comets or asteroids as a deterrent was rejected by the Führer. This seems to mean that this direction of thinking is still wrong. But the Führer did not give up and continued to think.
"Paper Tiger...... Paper Tiger ......" the Führer repeated the word again, while constantly playing with the model in his hand. After some time, the Führer's heart moved again.
"That's right...... Since it's a paper tiger, if it's a fake thing, why should I look for a real deterrent? Could it be that Watson meant to say...... It is up to our human civilization to create a false comet and then use it as a basis to deter the solar civilization? ”
At the thought of this, the Führer's mind raced for a moment. The Führer was vaguely aware that he seemed to have found a way to deter the solar civilization.
"So...... How can our human civilization create a paper tiger with great deterrent power? Right...... Right! Sunlight reflector! The sunlight reflector is extremely lightweight, and with our current scientific and technological strength, we are fully capable of manipulating some sunlight reflectors in space to create a very large volume and extremely high albedo...... Because of its huge size and extremely high luminosity, anyone who sees this thing thinks it has a huge mass! And because it has only a very small mass, our human civilization can completely adjust it to the orbit that hits the sun! In this way, the solar civilization that does not know the truth will be greatly deterred, and our human civilization can fully declare to the solar civilization that if you dare to release a solar storm on the earth, then our human civilization will dare to hit this thing into the sun! ”
The Führer instantly became excited. The Führer felt that he had grasped the true meaning of the paper tiger.
Paper tigers are spliced together from cardboard, and the envisioned giant comet that would deter solar civilization is spliced together using solar reflectors. The paper tiger represents the external strength and the middle trunk, representing deterrence, and the envisioned comet is also external and strong, which also represents deterrence.
No matter how you look at it, this explanation is very reasonable. The thing of the false comet and the thing of the paper tiger are simply too compatible. As soon as the Führer thought of this possibility, he quickly determined the correctness of his ideas.
So...... Zhao Huasheng's method is very clear.
Use false comets to deter solar civilizations so that they do not dare to attack the Earth.
But then, the Führer thought of a loophole in this plan. This loophole is so obvious that even if the Führer is largely unscientifically literate, the Führer can detect them by logical thinking alone. (To be continued.) )
