Lan Nuo guessed from the beginning that the Trisolarans did not achieve a technological explosion, but just thought of a certain way. They could use a very convenient method, a simple way that can be accomplished as long as they think of it, to change the number of sophons.
Several times or even tens of thousands of times of the original value.
Now it seems that he has found the method that the Trisolarans thought of. In fact, the method that the Trisolarans thought of is exactly the same as the method that Lan Nuo thought of to solve the efficiency problem of controllable high-energy particle production.
A very important part of the sophon's function is super-light communication, which is simply more important to the Trisolarans than anything else.
Under this premise, the sophon will be very complex. It needs to be expanded two-dimensionally to a size large enough to wrap around the planet, so that complex enough circuits can be carved on it to allow it to realize various functions.
But if a secondary sophon is produced, let it use sophons to transmit past signals and control it, and at the same time let it use sophons to transmit past energy to maintain its own operation.
It is conceivable that after such simplification, the production of sophons will no longer need to be expanded to the size of the planet. In theory, the Trisolarans can create a large number of artificial satellites, and then expand the protons in two dimensions around the artificial satellites.
Let protons wrap around these artificial satellites, and then carve the secondary sophons around the artificial satellites simply and quickly.
The time and resources required for this were immediately reduced to less than one ten thousandth of the original. There is no need to even consider the specific technical details. As long as you think of this idea, you can understand why Trisolarans can now be manufactured on a large scale.
Tomoko.
It may not even be that they are using energy borrowed from the vacuum by actual advanced protons, but that they have their own internal response on Earth, their own people in the nuclear power plant, and then directly use the human energy to give it to their secondary
Sophons provide energy.
Some things, before you understand them, feel very complicated and powerful, but after you understand them, you will find that they are what they are. It is like a magic trick that has been exposed, and it is nothing more than that after losing the mysterious veil.
After Lanno figured out all this, he immediately held a meeting at the Planetary Defense Council. There was no need to keep this news secret. Because even if humans saw through this and acted secretly, the damage they could do to the Trisolarans was limited.
As long as the Trisolarans are not stupid, after having the secondary sophons, it will be impossible to use high-level sophons to intercept the accelerator. You can imagine what this means. As long as the sophons do not enter the accelerator, with the current human ability
There is nothing you can do against him.
At most, its location can be roughly scanned through some of the technologies that humans have mastered today. However, humans still have no means to distinguish sophons and secondary sophons. Therefore, the results given by such scans are often everywhere in all directions.
Sophon, let alone capturing it, observing it is difficult.
Even if humans get this news, the only people they can target are the sub-sophons.
…
"Even if the Trisolarans had a technological explosion, they should not have experienced such a big change in such a short period of time. Therefore, I think they just thought of a clever trick that they had never thought of before, which is what I just mentioned.
, the production of secondary sophons.
Even if there are a large number of secondary sophons to be sent to the earth, the energy required to send these secondary sophons is completely bearable by the Trisolaran people. The mass of sophons is too small, not even the mass of a hydrogen atom.
Even if the number were ten thousand times greater, it would be nothing to the Trisolarans.
This can actually explain that the number of sophons we capture in accelerated experiments is becoming more and more, and sometimes we can even capture a whole one at a time. This is probably not just because the Trisolarans have extra sophons.
There is no need to use it so preciously anymore. Another reason besides this is probably that the function of the secondary sophon itself has been greatly emasculated.
It may not even have the ability to self-divide, or it may even be a one-time thing that was destroyed directly after being smashed by our accelerator. Therefore, there is no need to recycle it at all, so we can capture it 100%.
We can conduct experiments. Now we can observe sophons to a certain extent. We can try to untie the electromagnetic constraints and see if the sophons we recently captured can still work after breaking away from the electromagnetic constraints."
The views put forward by Lan Nuo were taken seriously by all the participants. Today's Planetary Defense Council meetings are no longer about Lan Nuo submitting plans, and then the United Nations approves them, and the PDC is held. With Lan Nuo's prestige among humans increasing,
In addition, meetings have begun to be hosted directly by him, and the content of the meetings is basically dominated by him.
Every such meeting is a major change for mankind, and this one seems to be particularly important now.
Some scientist representatives couldn't help but raise their hands: "Having discovered this, what can we do? If my guess is correct, our next technical direction should be to try to carry out the transmission of signals between sophons.
Intercept, or intercept the energy transfer between them."
"Yes." Lan Nuo nodded: "Compared with capturing the sophons, it is even easier to interfere with them. The secondary sophons have been castrated and do not have the ability to perform ultra-remote control. Therefore, as long as they are given a
The regional signal is shielded, and secondary sophons cannot get in.
If we want to intercept our accelerator, the sophon body must enter the signal shielding range and use its own body to intercept the high-energy particles in the accelerator, so that we can return to the original rhythm.
This will inevitably greatly increase the cost of accelerated experiments, and will also require scientists on Earth to unite to develop signal interference methods that can effectively shield sophons."
Although the communication methods of the Trisolarans are more advanced than the communication methods currently commonly used by humans, the easy-to-use, light-speed communication methods that can be used on sophons are more or less accessible to humans.
The first is electromagnetic waves, which are most likely to be used for short-range communication and are the most familiar to humans. It is easiest to interfere with them.
As long as an electromagnetic pulse bomb is fired, an area can be temporarily electromagnetic silent. Humans only need to find a way to activate the accelerator in this environment, even if the relevant technology is completed. This aspect is the least technically difficult and the easiest.
Finish.
The second is neutrino communication, which is also a communication method that can be transmitted farther and is less likely to be intercepted. Using neutrinos to transmit information can penetrate most obstacles and is extremely difficult to shield, even for humans.
We have initially mastered this type of technology, but if we want to shield neutrinos, the cost is prohibitively high.
But this is also the least likely method of communication between sophons. The sophon itself is only the size of a proton and cannot carry a large number of neutrinos. If it only carries one or two, the sophon can only control a very limited number of neutrinos.
If you are a sub-sophon, then it goes against the core of the plan of the sub-sophon.
In addition, the last communication method is gravitational wave communication. This communication method is also more likely to be used by sophons. It also has the characteristics of long propagation distance and strong penetrating power.
If humans want to release gravitational waves, they need a fairly large gravitational wave antenna, but this may not be the case for Trisolarans. Even if there is only one sophon, it is theoretically possible to release gravitational waves. It is more likely that two protons interact with each other.
Rotating around a center produces gravitational waves.
In fact, the gravitational waves discovered by humans are actually produced by the high-speed rotation of neutron stars around each other in space. Sophons can theoretically have the same effect, but the gravitational waves released will be much weaker. In theory, the gravitational waves released by humans will be much weaker.
It is possible for other sophons to receive it if their receptive abilities are strong enough.
It is also difficult for humans to interfere with this kind of communication. Of course, if sophons want to use this communication method, it is also much more expensive than using electromagnetic waves. Now how to shield this communication requires experiments.
"For matters related to the experiment, Lanno No. 03381 will contact you. The cluster has already discussed relevant response plans, and you can discuss them.
In addition, there are some things related to the government. Although since the gradual popularization of nanomachines, humans have unprecedentedly strong control over the grassroots, they still cannot prevent the infiltration of Trisolarans.
Today's Trisolarans have learned enough about human beings and have gradually learned to deceive and even take advantage of the weaknesses in human nature. It is inevitable that some people will be deceived and tempted by Trisolarans and betray us.
I have mentioned before that compared to sharing the energy borrowed from the vacuum through sophons, a more economical and affordable way is to supply energy to sophons through human energy facilities. If this happens,
, there must be a huge gang behind the scenes.
We need to be alert to the occurrence of this situation, or even this situation may have already happened. What we need to find is the person who planned all this and thwart the Trisolaran plan to steal energy from humans."
There is no doubt that this task fell to the tool man Da Shi again. Although he was just an ordinary policeman before this, no matter it was the Guzheng Project or the subsequent "trisolaran" organization against the Earth and the temptation of the Trisolarans,
They all played a vital role in the arrest of "Contractors".
Now he is obviously going to take action again and participate in the detection of the Trisolaran conspiracy.
"That's most of the content of this meeting. In addition, I have one last point to mention, which is that the number of scientific expedition teams carrying accelerators into deep space can be slightly increased.
If the Trisolarans really use secondary sophons, then the control distance is limited, usually no more than one light second. Beyond this range, the impact of communication delays will become obvious.
This means that when a spacecraft with an accelerator leaves, it must be tracked by at least one advanced sophon, which may be more effective than building a dozen accelerators on the ground."
…
On Trisolaran Star, the Archon and his staff Lungfish looked at each other in silence. Finally, Lungfish spoke first: "He really guessed it, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. The great escape of mankind has begun. We are under his control."
I pushed forward the plan so that he could escape more smoothly. This is really my biggest failure."
The Trisolaran Archon shook his head: "This is no choice. If human technology is not vigorously blocked, they will soon be able to develop a more powerful starship, which means that person's escape plan will be more difficult.
It will be realized soon. What’s more important is that by then, humankind’s technology will probably not be too far away from us and will become the most terrifying enemy hidden in the starry sky.”
When Lungfish formulated this plan, he realized that it would give humans an honest reason to escape. This was not even an escape, but a struggle for the continuation of humanity. Humanity's spaceships would be like dandelion seeds.
Likewise, it is spread all over the universe and starry sky, and it can no longer be completely eliminated by the Trisolarans.
…
In the Space Force, Zhang Beihai, who was performing maintenance on the space station, looked at the spacecraft departing from the star port one after another and flying to the orbital accelerator around the sun. He couldn't help but shake his head at the vast space, which had always been cold.
His expression softened a little, and a trace of relief could be seen in his eyes.
Facing the space outside the porthole window, Zhang Beihai waved his hand and said softly: "It doesn't matter, it's all the same!"
…
The most important significance of the discovery of secondary sophons to mankind is not that it can actually interfere or intercept them. The most important significance is that in despair, it has found something that can be done for the overwhelmed mankind.
.
When facing despair, the situation of being helpless is more frightening than the situation of being able to struggle to the death. No matter whether human beings' interference plan can succeed or not, after finding another way of thinking, at least there will be a direction to work towards.
A spark of hope.
And hope is the most precious thing in this era. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, with today's strong cohesion of mankind, we can continue to move forward unswervingly.
Lan Nuo actually doesn't particularly care about whether the interference plan can succeed. After all, four years later, there will be a simpler and more direct way for humans to catch up with the technological development of the Trisolarans.
But sometimes, things you didn't expect can bring you surprises.
Lan Nuo didn't put much energy into this plan. There were only more than 500 individuals involved in it, but this project turned out unexpectedly.
The project laboratory is located in space. After all, signal interference can not only interfere with the communication between sophons, but also interfere with the communication between humans. It must be carried out in a place equivalent to the wilderness to reduce this interference to
At the lowest level, such an ordinary space laboratory has completed mankind's first secondary sophon interference experiment.
