Chapter 54: One Step Ahead
The children are about to run, and Chen Xi is also ready to implement his wall-facing plan, and he must ensure that the children run towards the NH558J2 star in the direction of Cygnus, because this is the goal of the starship Earth.
Only by running in this direction can they encounter the debris of the four-dimensional space.
But they can't run at full speed, because the four-dimensional fragments are only about a light-year away from the solar system.
In the original book, it took more than 60 years for Starship Earth to enter the four-dimensional fragments, which proves that they are not moving at full speed.
At the speed of light of fifteen percent, including the acceleration time, it can travel a light-year in a maximum of ten years.
Starship Earth cannot move at full speed due to fuel reasons, but the Space Force does not have to worry about fuel, 216 supply ships, one Doji transport ship, nuclear fuel alone has more than 10 million tons.
Whether this four-dimensional fragment was something that had existed for a long time, or whether it appeared suddenly, Chen Xi couldn't be sure.
If it had existed for a long time, it would have been a four-dimensional fragment that had crossed the Blue Star more than 800 years ago, creating a brief era of magic.
If so, the fleet can go in that direction at full speed, because it will definitely meet.
If it comes out of nowhere, then full speed ahead will definitely miss it, which is not okay.
Explore the fragments of four dimensions without making any mistakes.
Therefore, after witnessing the departure of the Space Force and the hearing of those facing the wall, Chen Xi began to write translation software for translating the words and music he wrote for more than 100 years.
The specific principle is very complicated to explain, you can use Du Niang to search for the New Testament Buddhism on Zen, and you can probably understand it by playing.
Using the human brain that the three-body person can't see through, encrypting information into another information, so Chen Xi needs Wei Cheng's mathematical talent.
Therefore, after completing the talent indoctrination project, he did not use the equipment of the principle of the ideological steel seal.
……
After 19 days of low-light sailing, the fleet is already approaching the orbit of Uranus.
The Natural Selection, the commander-in-chief ship sent an order to enter the deep-sea mode, and the fleet was going to slow down.
Everyone naturally got into the spherical cabin next to them.
Zhang Beihai took a tablet and carried an ancient pistol sent by Dongfang Yanxu to the supercomputing center of the battleship.
"With two-fifths of the fuel left, currently gliding at one hundredth of the speed of light, this is the best time."
After confirming that everyone was in deep-sea mode, Zhang Beihai took out the captain's key and opened the mechanical hatch of the manual control room.
The artificial intelligence and the players who happened to be here all discovered Zhang Beihai's abnormal behavior: "Please stop illegal operations!" ”
The artificial intelligence lifted the deep-sea mode of the ten people closest to the supercomputing center on its own, and let them stop Zhang Beihai.
At the same time, the coalition government and the fleet's commander-in-chief learned about what had happened on the Natural Selection.
They received a message from Zhang Beihai: I have nothing to do with anyone else, and I am fully responsible for the voyage of the Natural Selection.
Everyone understands that this is a boatload of people and more than 2,000 innocent people to blackmail the fleet into not acting rashly.
When they tried to contact Natural Selection, they found that its artificial intelligence and communication systems had been turned off and had become a black box.
Of course, after a while, Tomoko may come.
Zhang Beihai intends to consume some fuel to continue accelerating, but before that, he has to use the older equipment to locate the destination.
"The target, the star NH558J2 in the direction of Cygnus, is closer, only eighteen light-years, the prescription position is almost the same as the direction of the battleship, there is no need to consume fuel to turn, there is a Jupiter-like there, which can be used as a transit station to replenish nuclear fuel..."
It is a carefully selected destination.
While tapping on the ancient keyboard, Zhang Beihai suddenly heard a sound, and the locked mechanical door was opened.
He raised his gun and aimed it at the hatch.
Ten people rushed in, looking at the captain with his gun raised, Dongfang Yanxu smiled and said, "Senior, it's too early. ”
"But since it's already started, let's continue, there's no need to hide it anyway."
The crew who came in took the initiative to take over the control console and operated it skillfully, some of them were officers and some were soldiers.
The spherical capsule specially selected by the members of the Star Sect near the supercomputing center entered the deep-sea mode, with the purpose of occupying the artificial control room of the battleship as soon as possible.
All battleships are the same.
Zhang Beihai put down the gun and said with relief: "You really have the idea of escaping." ”
"How did you get in?"
Dongfang Yanxu shook the key in his hand and said, "Actually, there are two keys, and it is impossible to manually let the battleship enter the forward four states without one, and it is impossible to format artificial intelligence. ”
She felt her way through the gap in the dormant chamber in the wall, and then a pillar protruded from the ceiling with a keyhole in it.
"Formatting artificial intelligence?"
A computer doctor said: "Yes, the removal of the supercomputer simulation of the brain-like will make it easier for us to build a new brain-like, after all, the underlying steel seal engraved by the brain-like is not suitable for our voyage." ”
I can't crack the system, can't I delete you?
"And, for a long time, there was a perception that the ETO elements might have planted an electronic virus in our computers."
"It's possible, the thing that simulates the movement of brain neurons is just a complex evolutionary algorithm, and rewriting the algorithm can rewrite the brain, and there is one thing to say, Dr. Wei Cheng is really a genius."
Someone else said, "Okay, Captain, all the crew has entered the deep sea state, and the hypnotic component is injected, and you can move forward four." ”
"The target was set for a star NH558J2 Cygnus, which was a good goal, and we considered it, but we gave up after the Doji was made, because it was too close, so let's leave it at that, change course later, we have plenty of fuel."
The crew got up one after another and drilled into the dormant warehouse behind, while Zhang Beihai checked it uneasily, and after confirming that there was no problem, he pressed the main engine start button on both sides with Dongfang Yanxu.
Subsequently, the two also got into the dormant chamber.
Before being submerged by the deep-sea liquid again, Zhang Beihai asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Dongfang, how many of you are there?" ”
"The people who agree to exterminate the Trisolarans should all belong to 'us', about 800 million people, but only more than 400 million people belong to modern children."
"There are two factions in our organization, one is the left-behind faction that stays behind in the Blue Star, and the other is the Stars faction that flies to the stars."
"There are about 100,000 people who have connections between the members of the organization and have a clear relationship between superiors and subordinates, and if the organization is too large, it will definitely be discovered, so we have not blindly expanded, and we can develop under the supervision of Zhizi and Shuguang, and it is inseparable from the incomparably huge spiritual virtual world system built by Shuguang Entertainment."
Tomoko didn't even find a plus or minus of the steel seal that Hines secretly changed, how could he find the few gigabytes of text communication information hidden in the temporary data generated hundreds of millions of exabytes every day.
"Others, just vaguely know that 'we' have a backbone."
"When a public-level 'modern child' proposed to exterminate the Three-Body Problem, 'we' probably knew that one of the leaders of the organization was on the bright side."
"After this public-level figure came into contact with the generals of the three major fleets who belonged to the 'modern child' on the surface, the clever 'we' should have thought of what one of the goals of the organization was."
"If you want to escape, you joined the Space Force when you changed the grassroots level of the Space Force."
Zhang Beihai asked suspiciously: "Won't the unchosen 'we' expose your purpose?" ”
Dongfang Yanxu smiled: "First of all, unless the members of the organization betray, it is impossible for them to have evidence. ”
"Second, exposing us is not good for them, and 'we' are all clearly aware of the internal problems that human civilization is now encountering, that is, the huge defects of the democratic political system of the whole people, which ignores the public and holds the actual power and determines the final direction of civilization."
"It's like Hines the Wall-Facing Guy said: It's a democratic society for all, and everyone says that humanity has won, and that is humanity has won."
"By the way, Beihai seniors, there is one thing you may not know, the war between the two civilizations is actually over, it is a war that has lasted for two centuries and there is no winner."
The hypnotic effect of the deep-sea liquid came up, and Zhang Beihai didn't have time to ask the meaning of this sentence, so he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.
He finally heard:
"Stepping into the stars is because of responsibility, and we hope that nothing can take away our basic right to exist."
"Obviously I have given up on continuing civilization..."
Three minutes after the button was pressed, the Natural Selection's main engine kicked in, and it accelerated when the other ships began to slow down.
Two supply ships also accelerated, ostensibly to pursue natural selection, but in fact to deliver supplies to facilitate future returns to the solar system, or to change course to join the main fleet.
