After Lan Nuo announced his plan in front of an empty place, he did not receive any feedback. Tomoko remained silent as before. However, the meaning of this silence seemed to have changed.
In Ding Yi's intuition, this change seems to have changed from the initial contempt to the current vigilance and caution.
In fact, it is not difficult to see that if silence before this was the greatest contempt, then silence at this moment is the greatest attention. If Tomoko replies at this moment, even if he shows a slightly different behavior from usual, it will
It means that the Trisolarans are afraid of this plan.
Although the Trisolarans do not understand strategy, and a short period of time is not enough for them to learn it, Eto will remind their master that even if they discover that the plan threatens them, they cannot communicate with humans, otherwise they will only be exposed
Show your own weaknesses.
This kind of logic is somewhat difficult for Trisolarans to understand, but the Trisolaran scientists who were specifically responsible for this project recognized this problem after a period of logical reasoning, so they gave up warning and persuading humans.
All warnings and persuasion at this time are counterproductive to humans and will only make them more determined to implement this plan.
Of course, it is theoretically possible to exploit this chain of suspicion, such as specifically interfering to prevent a useless plan so that humans can devote all their energy to this plan.
But this is a matter of tactical level, and once this is done, it also means that the Trisolarans attach great importance to human beings.

The application for restarting the accelerator was the first Lanno proposal rejected by the Planetary Defense Council. It was not that they thought the proposal was fanciful. On the contrary, it was a very practical solution that basically required only the original accelerator.
, the cost is not as high as imagined.
The most important reason why the proposal was rejected is that mankind today is in the face of an imminent disaster and can no longer spare the energy to solve other things. The authority of the Wallfacer has been greatly reduced. Not long ago, Redia
At the headquarters of the United Nations, he used his cradle system to intimidate the entire United Nations.
The so-called cradle system is an anti-trigger system. Ray Diaz made a watch and connected the watch to his own heartbeat. Once his heartbeat stops, or an abnormal heartbeat occurs due to coma, the cradle system will
will trigger.
It's just that after the cradle system is triggered, it does not cause an explosion, but stops sending signals. The bomb that has been planted will detonate if it does not receive a signal within the specified time, which makes it impossible to prevent him from detonating by killing him instantly.
Bombs are a terrifying and ultimate deterrent.
After Ray Diaz's words were exposed, the Planetary Defense Council wanted to put Ray Diaz on trial and was ready to arrest him, and it was at this hearing that he showed off this trick
, giving yourself the opportunity to escape from the control of the United Nations and return to your own people.
However, such an opportunity may not be as good as he imagined. The United Nations was also tricked by this wily strategist. The so-called cradle system was just made up by Ray Diaz. He did not install super super in the city.
The bomb and the watch on my hand are not a cradle system, they are just signal transmitters.
But he successfully escaped from being surrounded by a large number of soldiers by relying on this explosive method, and returned to his country on a special plane.
Unfortunately, what greeted him was not the cheers of the people. His people swarmed him after he landed. The local police could not stop him at all, and these people held stones and threw them at Rey Diaz.
They cannot accept that someone uses the entire earth or the entire solar system as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Trisolarans. They cannot accept that they are put on the balance of negotiations, and that their lives and the lives of their relatives and friends are used to threaten the other party.
The price that comes with it.
Obviously not everyone is a good strategist. In the end, Ray Diaz failed to avoid the same ending as in the original work. An old woman screamed: "You actually want to kill my grandson!"
Then he hit him on the temple with a stone, completely stopping the strategist's shrewd brain.
Lan Nuo originally wanted to save him, but after all, he was just a wall-facer, and Ray Diaz had offended almost the entire human race, and it was not something he could absolve himself of in just a few words.
And because of Ray Diaz, even his authority is severely restricted. Regarding the request to restart the high-energy particle collider, the Planetary Defense Council can only symbolically reject it to show their attitude.
Wallfacers are no longer allowed to waste resources at will, nor are Wallfacers allowed to make plans that may threaten the lives of others.
This actually goes against the original intention of the Wall-Facing Project. With so many restrictions, the Wall-Facing Ones are almost unable to perform. This is actually what the Trisolarans want to see.
Lanno didn't care that his proposal was rejected, because the United Nations had revealed to him that after the current natural disaster eased, he would be able to get approval if he applied for the plan again.
Among all the Wallfacers, Lanno has the best relationship with the United Nations, so this secret was revealed.
In fact, the current situation of mankind is indeed quite bad. Dr. Ding Yi’s inspiration was born two years late because of butterfly wings, which caused the ignition of controllable nuclear fusion to be two years late. He almost failed to achieve the goal in the great trough.
Light a fire before arrival.
Today's earth's ecology has suffered considerable damage due to mankind's panic development. Land desertification has become more and more serious. In particular, successive years of severe drought have caused the originally fertile cultivated land to lose water and turn into desert.
, even if the climate recovers in the future, the output of major grain-producing areas around the world will be greatly impacted.
This grain harvest has lasted for more than two years, and the grain reserves of major countries have been stretched thin, let alone those remote third world countries.
In their originally so-called peaceful times, there would be famines and wars, not to mention natural disasters like this. Many places have turned into a hell on earth.
The ancient saying of "changing children and eating broken bones to cook food" used to describe famine has become a reality there. Even though humans have made considerable compromises and begun to use energy to directly produce organic matter, fossil fuels are the most important thing for humans today.
Not only that, petroleum is also one of the most important raw materials for the production of various chemical products.
It is almost impossible to use all the fossil energy produced to produce food. As a result, the output is still very pitiful. After being divided up by major countries, the little bit left is not enough to fill the humanitarian disaster in the third world.
As for another method of manufacturing organic matter, which uses natural organic matter to cultivate insects and fungi to produce organic matter that can be eaten by humans, this is already underway.
Countries in Africa and South America have resolutely not allowing other countries to cut down their virgin jungles. Even if they cut down, they have to pay a high price. If the global situation is not so bad, this kind of price increase can make money for them.
I have experienced a lot of benefits, but if I still jump like this now, I obviously have lost my sight.
The three major powers, who wished to remain anonymous, each sent stealth bombers and dropped several bombs on the outskirts of the capitals of several countries. Only then did they honestly hand over their rainforest development rights.
But this is still not enough to completely offset the large amount of food needed by humans during this crisis.
If the famine continues for a year, nearly one-fifth of the world's tropical rainforests will be deforested. This will have a catastrophic impact on the global climate and is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.
According to the predictions of meteorologists, this catastrophic climate will not recover in the next year, and may even intensify. Unrest is already brewing. Even if the government works hard to block the news and learns from previous lessons, it tries to keep the people from
Panic and news that the catastrophic climate will continue for several more years are still spreading like wildfire.
For those at the bottom, this is like a bolt from the blue. Panic buying that occurs every time a major disaster begins, even though food stamps are now being used, or even rationing systems are directly used to distribute food.
, countries are still ushering in a wave of panic buying.
In some places, it is no longer panic buying, but robbery. The order is slipping into the abyss of collapse little by little. Human beings, intelligent creatures that rely on unity to become strong, once they lose their unity, they also lose their most important thing.
Strong force will only worsen the situation.
Violent conflicts arising from competition for food began to increase. In such conflicts, the number of individuals dying also increased.
Human society seems to have been pushed to the edge of the abyss, and may fall completely into it at any time.
…
At Asia's No. 1 Controlled Nuclear Fusion Experimental Base, Dr. Ding Yi, who has always been quite free and easy, looks solemn at the moment and is conducting final tests on the reactor configuration with Lan Nuo.
"There is no problem with all the data and it is completely in line with our design. Get ready to ignite!" He knew very well the importance of this ignition. At this moment, the fate of mankind was in their hands. If it failed, it would be a huge blow to the morale of mankind.
huge.
It will take at least a month to try to organize another ignition, and if humans spend a month after losing hope, they may not be able to organize such an ignition.
In front of a screen with countless buttons and flashing large amounts of data, Lan Nuo stared at the normal data and made final adjustments, and the countdown began!
"Nineteen eighty-seven..."
"Ignite!" Ding Yi pressed the red button in front of him. He felt at this moment as if he and Ye Wenjie who once sent a communication to the sun were holding the fate of mankind at their fingertips, but only one person
One brings destruction, the other brings new life.
The equipment is running at high speed, emitting a strong hum, and the frequency of the sound is getting higher and higher in the reactor. The sound that gradually becomes sharper seems to carry a destructive aura, and gradually increases to the pitch of ultrasonic waves, which makes people even more attracted.
It feels so cold. You can instinctively feel the destructive power contained in it.
With a flash of blue light, the reactor was lit up. High-energy particles penetrated the medium and released a blue shimmer, making the reactor look even more mysterious, as if it were a magic device.
"Success!"
At this moment, cheers came one after another from the Asia No. 1 Controlled Nuclear Fusion Experimental Base. A large number of researchers hugged each other, as if there was a human rebellion phenomenon, and cheered Wuhu, Wuhu.
This couldn't help but make them excited. The ignition of controllable nuclear fusion is a career they have fought for all their lives. Similarly, it is also a career related to the fate of mankind. The success of ignition also means that each of them has become a hero to save mankind.
.
"Let the United Nations issue an announcement! Tell them that our Sui Man Project is a complete success, and mankind has once again taken over fire from the hands of nature!" The solemn expression on Dr. Ding Yi's face was finally replaced by a smile.
The news of controllable nuclear fusion ignition was passed from level to level like a beacon. It only took a short time to reach the United Nations, and then to thousands of households around the world.
The success of the epic project has greatly boosted the morale of mankind. Even those areas that did not have enough food, after receiving this news, they all seemed to have received enough food and cheered up.
In almost all areas around the world where information is available, vandalism and looting have gradually stopped. In this apocalyptic world, hope is a very strange thing. In this era, it is more precious than diamonds. Once you have it,
He, no matter how bad the situation is, humans will always find ways to deal with it.
The global order began to recover rapidly just because of this news, and this scene was faithfully fed back to the Trisolaran planet by Sophon.
The Trisolarans expressed their inability to understand the sensibilities of the people on Earth. A piece of news cannot change the situation in those famine areas. Even if the huge energy brought by controllable nuclear fusion can be used for food production, when it is their turn, they will be hungry.
The dead may have starved to death, but they miraculously restored order because of this news.
Trisolarans have gradually begun to think more about intelligent creatures. Sometimes rationality may not be the most conducive to survival.
…
At the same time, the ignited controllable nuclear fusion reactor is outputting huge energy, and the large-scale food synthesis production line that has been prepared for a long time has also been connected to it after the reactor is ignited. Next, an endless stream of organic matter will be produced.
Come out, the great trough that has been hanging over the heads of mankind, the haze that has shrouded the heads of mankind, is finally torn apart, revealing a ray of light.
