Chapter 31 Kinetic Weapons
"Have you ever heard of the Paris Cannon?" Li Yi said to Wade, "It was a super-range cannon, originally called the 'Wilhelm Cannon', and later named after the Germans used this artillery to bombard Paris." It had a range of an astonishing 131 kilometers at the time. ”
"Of course I've heard that among the names of my plans is the Sun Cannon or the Trimaran Cannon." After Wade finished speaking, he began to prepare for hibernation.
At the same time, countries are starting to take Wade's plan seriously, after all, it is also a seemingly feasible path. As for Wade's wall-breaker, he was a little out of his mood after Wade's hearing, and it took a long time to recover.
*********
Now that the days are more than 20 years old, Ye Wenjie chose to hibernate early, she wants to really see this civilization closest to the earth with her own eyes. Yang Dong also hibernated shortly after her hibernation, because she was so focused on these cutting-edge physics research.
During a dangerous test, she seemed to be injured, but Li Yi did not detect any physical injuries, so she had to use hibernation to restore her spirit.
Some days, standing in front of Yang Dong's hibernation warehouse, Li Yi could feel that her spirit was slowly recovering.
"Xuan Ming, how is the experiment of the Quantum Project?" Xuan Ming is another name for the Quantum Project, and it is also the artificial intelligence responsible for managing the entire Quantum Project.
"The program is already in its second phase, and after experimentation, after the initial quantization, the experimental mice can already exist for a short period of time. But after about a hundred Planck times, the probability cloud of its presence began to spread, and after another second, it was no longer detectable by the instrument, and the probability cloud was too thin. ”
"The next step is to set the spot. Use the instrument to collapse the probability cloud of the mice to where we need it. Li Yi proposed a plan to Xuan Ming, and then asked about the progress of another plan.
"Gaia, what's your progress there?"
"Dr. Li Yi, the intelligence of superimposed particles has been superimposed to three orders of magnitude, the key is that the energy consumption is too large, and the energy required for particle expansion is too huge. We need to figure out a new process, otherwise even the energy of the entire sun, according to the estimates of our scientists in charge of the project, will not be able to achieve the number of intelligent particles you need. ”
"Okay, I got it." Li Yi rubbed his temples, it seems that the progress of those technologies is definitely not something that can be done overnight, and it still requires a deep foundation to carry out a technological explosion.
It is as if now, without enough people at least the upper secondary level, it will be very difficult to achieve informatization, let alone the next stage of civilization.
"No. 1, I want to talk to the Trisolaran Führer."
As Li Yi's voice fell, a light screen unfolded by Zhizi appeared in front of him. At the same time, with the consent of the Trisolar Head, the link was established.
Li Yi: "Your Excellency, it seems that you are going to lose." ”
Führer: "I've locked up humanity's research on the microscopic level, why can humanity still come up with such a solution?" "The Führer expressed his wonder at the weapons invented by man, as if primitive man's technology had suddenly reached the level of World War II.
"There is nothing impossible, the characteristics of the three-body civilization are metal-like spiritual qualities created for survival, but because of this, your scientific research is also like this, there is nothing wrong with the in-depth microscopic level, but for the application of theory, you are not very good.
If we use an analogy with one thought on the earth, the characteristic of your three-body civilization is that it focuses on the Tao and ignores the Fa. It has been developed incomparably more theoretically, even to the point of reaching the level of eleven-dimensional, but your use of the scientific theory of the eleventh dimension has only created an interstellar telephone, which is simply unimaginable in the history of mankind. ”
The Führer fell into deep thought because of what Li Yi said, and couldn't help asking, "Then what should we do?" ”
"So, Yuan Xiansheng, you have failed. Why not do what the agreement says? You should have learned about the goodwill of human beings through Zhizi, the system of one ball and two systems should not be a difficult thing for the three-body problem, this is an opportunity for the earth and the three-body problem, while the contradiction has not expanded, the two entry-level civilizations that have established communication are incomparably precious even in the universe.
Moreover, it is even more rare that both civilizations are all carbon-based species, and not every civilization is so lucky. One entry-level civilization I know of had encountered other species before the entry, but unfortunately, because the two sides had little in common except for intelligence, a war broke out between them immediately. The darkness of the universe is too thick. “
The Führer stopped talking, he didn't know what he should say, from his personal point of view, it was naturally better to be able to communicate peacefully than to be able to hate war, but the cunning of the humans transmitted back through Tomoko was affecting his thoughts, and it was not a problem that could be solved in a short time.
He wanted to talk to Monitor 1379, who was his compatriot after all, regardless of political opinions.
Li Yi knew that the Führer needed to think about this issue, after all, the negative impression of human beings seemed to make some of the Führer's party members in the Trisolaranous people feel afraid. He doesn't want to change this ability that has evolved in order to adapt to the body structure, so can he directly cover the human body with a metal mirror through genetic technology? He wasn't in the mood to do that.
Besides, this kind of intelligence reduction behavior is not of much use, can you add this mirror to all races in the entire universe, whether carbon-based or silicon-based, organic or inorganic, whether chemical energy or nuclear energy? If you have the ability, you don't have to do it.
Therefore, Li Yi is not ready to do this. He was just thinking, thinking about how those things should develop when formal communication with the Three-Body Civilization began. And unlike others, some people may have a fluke mentality about the dark forest, believing that the universe is not so dark. He knew the horrors of a civilization that had mastered a lightspeed ship.
A luminous particle, not a tall laser, laser, nuclear bomb or the like, just by virtue of its own powerful kinetic energy, directly destroyed the hometown of the Trisolarans, and this is something that almost every entry-level civilization has mastered.
For exterminating insects, they always have special tricks, simple and cost-effective.
