[The year when she just finished her studies and started working, the Tribody Crisis broke out. Her major was aerospace, so it was natural for her to join the research team developing engines for the new generation Long March rocket. ]
[It seems important and core, but Cheng Xin knows very well that relying on chemical rockets may never lead to the true space era. 】
[People today praise rockets and think they represent the aerospace age, but this is the same as the early days of the industrial revolution when people thought big smokestacks represented the industrial age.]
[Cheng Xin realized this very early, and also realized this with an officer named Zhang Beihai.]
[Cheng Xin deliberately broadened her knowledge as much as possible and took many courses in nuclear energy. Her abilities were appreciated, but she firmly believed that the chemical aerospace engine was already in the sunset. Neither an individual nor a team could leave it.
Very far away, stopping in the wrong direction means moving forward, and her work means devoting herself wholeheartedly in the wrong direction, which once made her very distressed.]
【But the turning point soon appeared.】
[The United Nations began to establish various organizations related to planetary defense, and one of them wanted Cheng Xin to go. 】
【So Cheng Xin went.】
[The most important task of this department at present is to try to obtain information about the Trisolaran world through the Trisolaran Earth Organization.]
[The abbreviation of this department is PIA. When Cheng Xin came here to report, she realized that she was among the first to arrive. 】
[She met her future boss, Mikhail Vadim, director of the Technical Planning Center. After listening to the Russian’s complaints in awkward English, she went up to meet the director of PIA. ]
[So far, this has been like a plot-running process, until Cheng Xin saw the director and heard his first words. 】
【"Will you sell your M to JY?"】
[Cheng Xin shook her head in horror, not answering, but suspecting that she was not proficient in English and misunderstood, or that she had an ear problem and misheard the director's words.]
[PIA Director Thomas Wade is very young, at least he looks younger than Vadim. Cheng Xin’s first impression when seeing him was that he looked like a cold statue moved from an oil painting. ]
[Vide's face was calm and unruffled, he waved his cigar-holding hand and said, "Thank you, go about your business."]
[Watching Cheng Xin running down with a horrified look on her face, Vadim told her after understanding the situation that this was indeed a witty saying in the intelligence community. The general idea is whether you will betray or not. It is usually used by veterans to tease newbies, because in
This industry is full of expectations and betrayals, and at the beginning of the establishment of the intelligence and espionage system, it was even full of heroes like Long Jin.]
[Follow-up personnel arrived one after another, mainly from the permanent members of the Planetary Defense Council. Everyone was polite to each other, but full of suspicion and distrust. The professionals looked like they had never interacted with each other, and kept their pockets closed.
They are afraid of being stolen by others; intelligence personnel are extremely active and friendly and always want to steal something. As Vadim said, these people are more interested in providing intelligence to each other than spying on the Trisolaran world.]
[Thanos: It’s like this every time. Human beings in this world have never changed.]
[Loki Odinson: According to the timeline, the Wallfacer Project has just been launched, and humans have not learned the lesson yet, although based on their level of stupidity, even if they have learned the lesson, they probably will not learn the lesson. 】
[At the meeting a few days later, Wade stated his request straight to the point.]
[PIA is going to launch a detector against the Trisolaran fleet.]
[Everyone is shocked. PIA has just been established. Although there are some like Cheng Xin who can quickly get rid of chores and start working, it is too fast. At present, PIA has just been established, and no branches in various countries and regions have been established. No.
Have the conditions to officially start work.]
[Amid everyone's shock, only Vadim asked calmly: "Are there any specific indicators?"]
[After all, there is no project on this planet that the Russians dare not take on.]
["The detector must reach one percent of the speed of light."]
["That is to say, if the acceleration phase is considered, but the deceleration is not considered, the probe will reach the Oort Cloud in two to three centuries, where it will contact and detect the Trisolaran fleet that has begun to decelerate? This does not sound like it.
What our generation should do.”]
[Vide's tone is always so cold, but in the deepest part of his eyes, there is a light flashing: "Future technological progress has now become an uncertain thing. If human beings are always at a snail's pace in space,
speed, then we should start climbing as soon as possible."]
[Thanos Thanos: If Vader had been chosen as the Wallfacer back then, perhaps the two thousand human fleets would not have been set off by water droplets and fireworks, and Luo Ji would not have been tortured for so long. ]
[Wanda: But Luo Ji is the one who knows the laws of the dark forest.]
[Thanos: No, when I saw the fire in Vader's eyes, I knew that even if Vader didn't know the laws of the dark forest, his achievements would not be lower than Luo Ji's. 】
[Thanos: That is the look that only a true martyr would have. Vader's heart will never be as calm as he appears on the surface. He is a madman, a complete madman. 】
[Thanos: Only this kind of madman can lead a civilization on the verge of extinction to survive. 】
[Bruce Wayne: Are you trying to say that he is another Ray Diaz?]
[Thanos: No, Ray Diaz is not as good as him.]
There was a hint of helplessness on Eric's face. It was the same as last time, except that the last time it was three scientists who didn't speak human words, and this time it was Thanos.
At this time, Janata also finished digesting the contents of the dark forest, and felt that this was an incredible thing.
"I feel that the so-called dark forest is not true." Janata said: "If it is true what you said, then it should be very easy for a civilization with such powerful technology to transform the environment of some planets."
[Video continues]
"But according to the current speed of human spaceflight, it will take 20,000 to 30,000 years to reach the Oort Nebula. If the detector is launched now, the enemy fleet may not have even flown out of the door when it arrives in 400 years."]
["So one percent of the speed of light is an indicator that must be reached."]
[“Increase the current aerospace speed by a hundred times? This is absolutely impossible at present.”]
