The sudden voyage of a large number of human spacecraft caught the Trisolarans off guard. This time these spacecraft will wander endlessly in space, which means that the accelerators used by these spacecrafts for propulsion must be constantly interfered with.
Even with the lowest estimate of the amount of sophons, each spacecraft must have at least two sophons tracking it, so that when the sophons in the spacecraft are exhausted, sufficient replenishment can be obtained in time.
The launch preparations on the human side are ready. In order to make the plan sudden, all units worked overtime 72 hours after the plan was finalized to complete the transformation of the spacecraft and the charging of the accelerated orbit. The two Lagranges of the Earth
As for the tracks, one track has been completely constructed, and the other track is also one-third complete, and part of the acceleration ring can be used.
After completing resource scheduling, twenty accelerator spacecraft entered the acceleration orbit. From the earth, you can see in the afterglow of the setting sun that star points light up in the sky, and between each point
The intervals are similar, drawing an elliptical trajectory in the sky, like a smiling face made of stars in the sky.
It was an accelerating ring that was surrounded by high-energy particles and released light after each one was charged.
The energy contained in each accelerating ring is enough to use a city with a population of one million in the old era for a week. The diameter of each huge accelerating ring is more than 300 meters, made of nanomaterials, and the superconducting coils inside are on standby. Now
What emits light is the capacitor module that is being remotely charged through the nuclear fusion reactor.
When the blue light in the sky turns into red, the capacitor is discharged and the superconducting coil is activated.
Only during the period when day and night alternate, humans on the surface can see the work of accelerating orbits, and this is also an astronomical spectacle for people living on the ground. They can see the arrangement in the sky like
The track in the shape of a smiley face began to change from blue light to bright red light one by one from one side, and then gradually cooled like a red-hot iron block, extinguishing little by little in the sunset.
And this speed will get faster and faster. Through the frequency of blue light converted into red light, you can feel from the ground that the speed of the spacecraft in the accelerating orbit is getting faster and faster. After all, only when the spacecraft is close to the acceleration ring, the capacitor module will
It will discharge and recharge, just like a timer. The flashing frequency can intuitively show the speed of the spacecraft.
After the red light goes out, the blue light will slowly light up again. This is the effect of the accelerating ring completing charging and preparing for the second round of acceleration. During the second round, the flashing frequency will become faster.
It is expected that this round of acceleration will be carried out, with a total of nine turns, which is also the current acceleration limit of the Lagrangian acceleration orbit. After that, the spacecraft can only rely on its own thrusters for acceleration.
A total of nine circles takes fifty-four days. The total length of the Lagrangian acceleration orbit is about one ten thousandth of a light year. The acceleration of these nine circles is almost uniform. The average speed can be easily calculated to be about the speed of light.
Six thousandths of the speed, the maximum speed is basically twice the average speed, which is 12 thousandths of the speed of light, a little more than one hundredth of the speed of light.
This is almost the maximum acceleration that the human body can withstand for a long time. At present, deep-sea accelerating fluid has not yet been developed. Without the assistance of deep-sea accelerating fluid, the acceleration is approximately equal to six point four gravity acceleration, which is almost the limit of ordinary people. Although
It is true that pilots can occasionally withstand overloads of ten gravity accelerations, but it is absolutely unbearable to be in this environment for a long time.
After the acceleration is completed, the spacecraft will fly out of the solar system and continue to accelerate by relying on the accelerator inside the spacecraft. This can also be regarded as a saving of fuel. The theoretical limit of acceleration by relying on the accelerator is more than one-tenth of the speed of light, but the fuel consumed
There are too many. Except for the twenty spaceships piloted by Lan Nuo himself, which have no intention of coming back, the rest usually only continue to accelerate for a year, and basically stop when they reach 5% of the speed of light.
In the past two months, the Trisolarans have made crazy preparations and launched a large number of sophons towards the human world.
Lan Nuo and the Planetary Defense Council calculated very accurately. After the Trisolarans received the information, it would take a full four years for the next batch of sophons to arrive on Earth. Humanity did not need to worry at all. During these four years, the Trisolarans
It was too late for humans to send enough sophons, and seventy-two light hours after the spacecraft left the earth, it was basically possible to start operating the accelerator at full power, and the attempt to block the Trisolarans was broken.
Humanity as a whole has entered a state of tension. All departments are working overtime to increase efficiency to the highest level. If human civilization is compared to a practitioner, it is now equivalent to accumulating a large amount of resources and treasures and gaining a lot of insights.
, at this time, everyone is ready to go, for the next breakthrough, once successful, the future will be bright.
Even if the speed of light is only one percent, it will take less than a year to reach the distance of seventy-two light hours, but this time is enough for the human government to adjust all accelerators to their peak state. The distance of seventy-two light hours
, making it impossible for sophons to perform multi-threaded operations by traveling back and forth between the solar system and the spacecraft, and all sophons taken away by the spacecraft will not be able to come back to disturb humans.
At this historic moment, human beings often need some sense of ceremony. On a tall stone monument in the square of the United Nations Headquarters, there is a back figure walking towards the spacecraft. From the back figure, Lan Nuo can be vaguely distinguished.
outline, but it seems that there are countless people's outlines on it.
This monument once commemorated Lan Nuo, who boarded the reconnaissance spacecraft and never returned, but now all those who have relatives and friends who died in the fight against the Trisolaris crisis will come to this monument to commemorate their deceased friends.
, that never-to-be-returned figure belongs to Lan Nuo, as well as to the thousands of people who have paved the way for civilization.
Because of this, when designing this monument, Lan Nuo asked to leave only a back figure without carving a face. Carving a face is a form of personality worship, while leaving only a back figure tells countless people who have sacrificed for civilization.
Heroes who have overcome all obstacles, no one knows your names, and your achievements will last forever.
Under this monument, Lan Nuo faced the touch screen and quickly adjusted the parameters. At the same time, he controlled the ten largest ground accelerators in mankind to adjust their interception parameters to the optimal state.
Then he hung his palm in the air, just an inch in front of the touch screen unlocked by his palm print, and said to the live broadcast cameras all over the world: "Seventeen years have passed since the outbreak of the Trisolaris Crisis. During these ten years,
In seven years, our technology was locked up, our lives were threatened, and we were despised as bugs by arrogant aliens.
They cut us with sharp knives, poison us with deadly machinery, seduce us with benefits, threaten us with relatives and friends, and use every means they can think of to eliminate us.
But they forget that bugs have never been eradicated!
Today, we have gathered the accelerators of all mankind and sent out countless spaceships that will never return. Thousands of heroes shoulder the mission of dying together with Sophon, stepping into the long and dark void, and finally fighting for us.
A chance to face off against the Trisolarans!
On behalf of myself, the Llano Cluster, and all mankind, I would like to thank those who are fighting for the continuation of human civilization, and everyone who sticks to their posts and performs their duties. I cannot guarantee that this time I will launch an attack on Trisolaris.
I can win the challenge, but I can guarantee that no one’s efforts for civilization will be wasted.
I hereby solemnly announce that Operation Fire Stealing has officially begun!"
As he spoke, his palm was pressed, the palm print was unlocked successfully, the pupil scan was completed, and various orbital accelerators around the world were started. Even with controllable nuclear fusion, at this moment, most civilian facilities were in a power outage.
, only mobile terminals that have been charged can continue to work and continue to connect to the network.
It was Prometheus who once stole the flame from the gods, but this time, the flame of civilization will be captured by humans themselves!
Countless high-energy particle colliders are operating at the same time. Above the Earth's orbit, you can even see a blue light band that looks like the Milky Way. This is the effect of the accelerator in the geosynchronous orbit running at full strength.
The electrostatic field operates at full power, adsorbing all dust that may exist in space, and forming a blue light band around the circular orbit to ensure that the vacuum inside the orbit is high enough.
In the orbits, collision experiments are being carried out in different high and low orbits, and the location of each collision is also different, circling the earth.
Although the collision process cannot be seen, in the city where almost all the lights are extinguished, looking up and seeing the blue light strip in the night sky that looks like splitting the sky is still extremely shocking.
Everyone is nervously looking at the data fed back on the mobile terminal. Even though many people can't understand what the data represents, countless people have worked hard for several years or even longer. Even if they are not in control of the accelerator, they still
Extremely nervous about the next result.
As for those who can understand the data, their heartbeats are accelerating crazily. Human beings can already determine the amount of intercepted sophons. In the first round of acceleration of all accelerators, the number of intercepted sophons is still one thousandth of the standard, but
After a large number of sophons were captured and annihilated by Lan Nuo, who took action personally, during the second round of collisions, more than a dozen sophons at 7/10,000 were detected.
This means that the number of sophons intercepting the accelerator is no longer enough, and they must be used sparingly to wait until the next batch of sophons arrives on Earth for support.
However, before the plan began, mankind was already prepared to go through a difficult period. In the next three years, most recreational activities will cease. Except for important industrial facilities and scientific research sites, almost all
Social activities will be stopped.
Because it will take at least three years for the sophons supported by the Trisolarans to arrive in large numbers, and this is the best opportunity for mankind to break through the technological blockade.
As the accelerators operate round after round, the data has undergone changes visible to the naked eye. The number of sophons allocated to each accelerator has begun to decrease. The accelerators around the world operate simultaneously, and the capture efficiency of sophons is also the highest.
of.
…
At the same time, the Trisolarans were already in dire straits. Their supercomputers were running rapidly, trying to figure out how to use the remaining sophons through algorithms, so that they could sustain themselves for three years amid the current crazy interception by humans.
But even if the supercomputer is running at full power, no effective interception plan has been calculated. All calculations show that after one year, sophons will not be able to intercept all accelerators. At least in these three years, human beings will not be able to intercept sophons.
The capture efficiency has exceeded the Trisolarans' expectations four years ago, making it impossible for them to intercept all the sophons they launched one after another four years ago.
This is also one of the huge strategic disadvantages of the Trisolarans. Even if sophons can fly at close to the speed of light, it will take more than four years to reach the earth, and they must predict human actions in the next four years. The Trisolarans
Obviously, they did not expect that humans would take action so quickly. Before productivity reached the limit, they chose to fight with the Trisolarans.
As for the shortcomings predicted four years ago, there is no way to make up for it. We can only watch helplessly as humans grab this nearly two-year window.
Although Operation Fire Stealing has not yet succeeded, judging from the changes in data, success is very close. Therefore, even though most entertainment activities have been compressed, the human race as a whole is still in a state of excitement.
Before this, human beings have never considered how lucky it is to be able to conduct scientific research freely. In the process of the development of civilization, too much time, too much manpower and material resources, and too many resources were wasted.
Amid the intrigues among human beings, many scientific research works are just to achieve a political goal, so that for a certain period of time, people once had the illusion that human science and technology was regressing.
Although the window period this time is only two years, humans will cherish these two years extremely, and cherish these two years in which real data can be obtained for scientific research.
Lan Nuo didn't know whether human technology would be able to explode in these two years, but he had a hunch that these would be an extremely critical two years, related to whether humans could defeat the invading Trisolarans by means other than deterrence.
As time goes by, the number of sophons intercepted in the accelerator has become less and less, and sometimes there are even so few that the whole army will be wiped out without Lan Nuo taking action.
The world's accelerators are running at the same time, and sophons can no longer take care of them. In these days, the number of sophons is getting smaller and smaller. Asia's No. 1 high-energy physics experimental base.
Ding Yi observed the data on the equipment as he did every day, adjusting the data to capture sophons. He was one of the few scientists who could capture relatively complete sophons to a certain extent like Lan Nuo. He was born with extraordinary intuition.
And when he saw the experimental data, which was very similar to the real data he had guessed, he couldn't believe it for a moment. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and read it again.
Then the whole person became excited: "Repeat the experiment! Quick! Let's start the next round of particle acceleration immediately!"
