Two days after Luo Ji's hibernation, according to the three-in-one system built by Li Yang, the Blue Star human astronomers emitted a beam of powerful radio waves from the Blue Star to the sun, which penetrated the troposphere and reached the energy mirror of the radiation layer, which was amplified hundreds of millions of times in the gain reflection, carrying the spell of Luo Ji, the wall-facing man, and flying to the universe at the speed of light.

······

In the 12th year of the crisis year, the Trimaran Fleet was 4.18 light-years away from the solar system

The control center of the "three-in-one" space telescope detection system was eventually dominated by Yingjiang and Huaxia.

It was observed that the Trimaran Fleet was passing through a second patch of interstellar dust. Since many of the newly built space telescopes have been closely monitoring the area, the fleet's track has been captured as soon as it appears.

At this time, they looked like a small clump of grass that had just sprouted in the dark abyss of space, and these thousands of grasses grew every day at a rate that could be detected by the naked eye. Moreover, these tracks look much clearer than they did nine years ago, due to the fact that after nine years of acceleration, the speed of the fleet has increased a lot, and the impact on the interstellar dust has become more violent.

"General, take a closer look, can you find anything?" Ringer pointed to the enlarged image on the screen and said to Fitzrow.

"It still seems like there are still about a thousand."

"No, take a closer look."

Fitzro looked at it for a long time, then pointed to the point in the center of the "brush" and said, "It seems to have ...... One, two, three, four...... Ten bristles grow faster than the others, and they stick out. ”

"Yes, those ten tracks are faint, and you can only see them with image enhancement."

Fitzro turned to look at Ringer, revealing the expression he had when he first spotted the Trimaran Fleet track ten years ago, "Doctor, does this mean that there are ten warships speeding up?" ”

"They're all accelerating, but these ten tracks show more acceleration, but that's not ten ships, and the total number of tracks is now one thousand and ten, ten more.

Through the analysis of the shape of these ten tracks, the volume of these things is much smaller than that of the warships behind them, about a few hundred thousandths of each of them, that is, the size of a truck, but due to their high speed, the tracks they produce can still be observed. ”

"So small, ten detectors?"

"That's right, it's ten probes, which means that the three-body has launched a new probe to our blue star." Nan Rendong walked to the display in the control center and said to Fitzrow.

This is another shocking discovery of Hubble-2: humans will have early contact with entities from the Trimaran World in front of the Trimaran fleet, albeit only ten small probes.

"When will it reach the solar system?" Fitzro asked nervously.

After Nan Rendong and Green glanced at each other, Nan Rendong explained to him, "It's not clear yet, it depends on the acceleration situation in the future, but it will definitely arrive ahead of the fleet, and the most conservative estimate will be a century and a half earlier."

The fleet's acceleration has apparently reached its limit, and for some reason we don't know, they want to reach the solar system as quickly as possible, so they launch probes that can accelerate faster. ”

"Now that you have Tomoko, what's the need to launch a probe?" An engineer asked.

The question caused everyone to fall into deep thought, but Ringer quickly broke the silence, "Don't think about it, it's not something we can come up with." ”

"No," Fitzlo said, holding up a hand, "I can at least come up with some of it... …··· We're seeing what happened four years ago, can you determine the exact date of the launch of the probe by the fleet? ”

"Of course, fortunately, the fleet was in the snow when it was launched, oh, in the dust, and we observed the intersection of the probe's track and the fleet's track." Ringer then told Fitzrow a date.

Fitzrow stood for a moment, lit a cigarette, sat down and smoked, and after a long time said, "Doctor, you are not politicians after all, just as I could not see the ten bristles that grew from the brush, and you did not see a vital fact. ”

"This date...... Does it make any sense? Ringer asked, puzzled.

"On that day just four years ago, I attended a hearing on the Planetary Defense Council's Wall Facing Project, where Luo Ji, the only Wall Facer who wasn't hibernating at the time, proposed to cast a spell on the universe through the sun."

Scientists and engineers looked at each other.

Fitzro continued: "It was then that the Three-Body World issued an order to ETO for the second time to destroy Luo Ji, and Luo Ji was infected with a specific gene missile after the meeting and was forced to hibernate early. ”

"He, is it really that important?" Nan Rendong asked puzzled.

"You think he's a playboy at first, and then a fake wizard with a pretense? Of course, we also think so, everyone thinks so, out of the three-body man. ”

"That......... General, what do you think he is:

"Doctor, do you believe in God?"

This sudden question made Ringer speechless for a moment, "·...... God, there are many meanings on multiple levels, I don't know you..."

"Professor Nan, what about you, do you believe it?"

From Fitzro's question, Nan Rendong gave him a very succinct answer: "I don't believe it, at least not for now." ”

"I believe it, not because there is any evidence, but because it is safer: if there is a God, our faith is right; If not, we have nothing to lose. Fitzrow replied.

The general's words made everyone laugh, and Ringer said: "Your latter sentence is not true, and there will be no loss, at least for science...... But what if God exists? Does it have anything to do with what is in front of you? ”

"If God does exist, He may have spokesmen on earth."

People were stunned for a long time before they understood the meaning of these words, and an astronomer said, "General, what are you talking about?" Will God choose spokesmen in an atheistic country? ”

Fitzlo extinguished the cigarette butt and spread his hands and said, "If all other possibilities are ruled out, and the remaining one is true, no matter how bizarre it may be, can you think of any other explanation?" ”

Ringer mused, "If God means some kind of universal justice that exists in the universe......"

Fitzrow raised his hand to stop the people who were speaking, "So, everyone, come and believe, you can begin to believe in this god." He said and drew a cross on his chest.

……

That's right, after Luo Ji sent the spell, the Trisolarans launched a new probe to the Blue Star-Water Droplet, although the humans at this time did not understand the power of the Water Droplet, but it still made the humans of the Blue Star have a greater panic.
