Lan Nuo's suppression of the Nirvanas can only be temporary. After all, they do possess super powerful force. As the saying goes, they possess sharp weapons and have murderous intentions. After mastering powerful power, they will undoubtedly be eager to fight against them.
With such power, he can suppress it for a while, but not for a lifetime, but being able to suppress it for a moment is enough.
Because in more than a year, controllable high-energy particles will have flown to the Trisolaran planet. By then, the Trisolaran people's technology, Trisolaran people's life forms, and Trisolaran people's weapons and equipment will no longer be relevant.
It's a secret. After obtaining enough technical information, controllable high-energy particles no longer need to be kept secret.
But before that, the scientific research fleet still needs to face another problem, that is, the Trisolaran people's investigation of them. Through the location of Sophon's lost contact, the Trisolaran people can deduce the current location of the scientific research fleet, and continue to move towards this
If sophons are emitted in this direction, it is very likely that we will discover this four-dimensional space. Even if the Trisolarans cannot build a production line for controllable high-energy particles here and discover more physical laws here, it is still unacceptable to humans.
Therefore, it must be intercepted. We must find ways to intercept the Trisolaran sophons, and we must intercept them quietly so that the Trisolarans cannot realize that this is done by humans.
Others in the scientific expedition fleet were somewhat worried that intercepting Sophon in this way would cause the Trisolarans to become suspicious and realize that humans were responsible.
Lan Nuo has no worries about this at all. He knows very well that the Trisolarans have already discovered the phenomenon that sophons will inexplicably lose contact after flying to a certain location, and they also have their own blind spots for such sophons.
The speculation is very likely that there is an alien civilization six or seven light years away from the Trisolaran Galaxy. They have the ability to detect such microscopic particles and eliminate such high-energy particles that may have monitoring capabilities.
Sophons have also lost contact in this area before, so the Trisolarans themselves will doubt whether this is a sophon blind spot. If another batch of sophons disappear, it will be basically certain, so as long as this batch of sophons are eliminated cleanly and beautifully
, the pressure you will face next will be much less.
For this reason, Lan Nuo has been carefully prepared. Defense is always more difficult than offense. This strategic disadvantage is almost impossible to change. Lan Nuo must find a way to intercept every sophon and not let any sophon have any chance.
Opportunity to enter the four-dimensional space.
In addition, the interception process must also be fast, accurate, and ruthless. It is obviously not an easy task to make a large number of protons collectively ineffective in a short period of time.
Now all they can rely on is the numerical advantage of controllable high-energy particles, and perhaps the advantage of a high-dimensional perspective.
Although within the scope of four-dimensional space, it is impossible to interfere with the three-dimensional world outside the four-dimensional space, but in the four-dimensional space, you can look down on the three-dimensional world, even the three-dimensional world that is not covered by the four-dimensional space is possible.
The reason is very simple. After the solar system was flattened by the two-dimensional foil, humans could still see the process of the solar system being flattened bit by bit before they perished. At that time, humans stood in a three-dimensional space and looked down at the two-dimensional space. At this time, they had not yet
Entering the two-dimensional world, but being able to see the existence in the two-dimensional world from a higher perspective from the three-dimensional world.
If this is the case, this can also be done in the four-dimensional world. As long as you move a certain distance on the fourth coordinate axis, you can make relatively accurate observations of sophons. From this angle, the high-dimensional structure of sophons will
Exposed, that is, just like when it was destroyed before, a silver sphere with a diameter of several meters can be seen.
Although it can only be seen and cannot be destroyed through high-dimensional interference, it is enough to determine the position of the proton. With experience in making secondary controllable high-energy particles, Lanno believes that distinguishing sophons and secondary sophons can
It's not a difficult thing for him.
In this way, when a relatively precise position can be determined, it becomes much easier to intercept and destroy. First of all, controllable high-energy particles already have the ability to completely destroy sophons. Although there is still a huge technological gap between the two,
But their properties are similar to each other. If they collide together, they will both shatter into pieces. Of course, this is not enough to destroy sophons. Therefore, controllable high-energy particles usually carry a part of antimatter, and the amount is very small.
It probably doesn't even have the mass of a hydrogen atom, but it can just annihilate a sophon.
And this also means that the sophons can no longer continue to carry out their mission. As long as all high-level sophons can be annihilated to this extent, the defense will be considered a success.
For this reason, a large number of controllable high-energy particles are arranged and stationed at the edge of the four-dimensional space, constantly monitoring the sophons emitted from the direction of the Trisolaran star.
From this perspective, controllable high-energy particles also have a spherical structure, which is a four-dimensional expansion.
In today's scientific research fleet, the number of Nirvanas has increased to one thousand, and they are also the main force in controllable high-power submersibles.
With the popularization of techniques and skills, the number of controllable high-energy particles that a single person can control has also greatly increased.
From less than one hundredth of a gram at the beginning, it has gradually increased to tens of grams.
This is already quite a lot of controllable high-energy particles. If they are all controlled, they can be accelerated to close to the speed of light, which is enough to easily burn a hole in the moon. Of course, this hole must be very small, and even after being punched out, it will only
It takes a moment to heal.
Even so, this improvement in control ability is commendable.
The volume of the four-dimensional space is still too large, and it is constantly moving. If you want to complete the defense here, you need to monitor a huge sphere with a diameter of nearly three thousand astronomical units, even if most of the monitoring tasks can be handed over to
The program also requires hundreds of nirvana practitioners to keep an eye on it all the time to ensure that it is foolproof.
The only good thing is that the Trisolaran sophons will inevitably slow down when approaching this four-dimensional space. This is not because the Trisolaran people know that this is a four-dimensional space, but because the Trisolaran people have lost track of the scientific research fleet here.
As long as some clues of the scientific research fleet are left at this time, the Trisolaran sophons will inevitably slow down. Although sophons are very microscopic, they are not much different from macroscopic objects in nature. If you want to move close to the speed of light, you need to
By accelerating and decelerating in advance, the speed of the movement of the earth's sophons will usually not exceed half the speed of light. According to the relativistic effect, the closer the speed is to the speed of light, the greater the mass. The energy consumption of continuing to increase the speed will increase geometrically. Even from
Energy can be borrowed in a vacuum, and the consumption of reaching more than 90% of the speed of light will be so great that it will cause pain.
The same goes for acceleration, and the same goes for deceleration. When the Trisolarans let Sophon sail away, he must be sailing at a speed close to the speed of light, but when he comes near the target, he usually slows down to less than 50% of the speed of light.
This also means that when Sophon is observed, there is no time to set up defenses because they have not yet arrived in front of them immediately.
Although sophons will present a macroscopic image from a four-dimensional perspective, the size of the silver sphere is usually only one or two meters in diameter. If you want to observe an object of this size several astronomical units away, you must also monitor thousands of people in a radius.
The huge range of astronomical units is obviously not an easy task.
If it weren't for the scientists and clones of the scientific expedition team who made huge sacrifices and gave birth to thousands of Nirvana people, it would be really difficult to complete the construction of such a monitoring system.
And just as they expected, the Trisolarans indeed sent sophons to monitor and hunt them, but they arrived much later than they expected.
They lost contact with the sophons because humans could freely develop their own technology. In the next six months, it stands to reason that the sophons and sub-sophons launched by the Trisolarans at that time were already on their way to the earth.
In other words, after that year and a half, they should theoretically encounter the Sophon Legion.
However, no. In fact, according to the feedback from most of the scientific research fleet, they did not encounter the Sophon Legion. Obviously, the Trisolarans' highest priority is to block the earth, and they have made preparations to face the worst case scenario.
That is, human technology has broken through to a state that is almost equivalent to theirs, and has the ability to capture sophons outside of the accelerator.
So they ignored their scientific research fleet and dropped all the sophons on the earth.
This is also a decision-making error on the part of the Trisolarans. It is inevitable that there will be some misjudgments in the decisions made four years ago.
Although human technology has not developed to the extent that the Trisolarans can predict the worst, it took a very short time to discover the method for the Trisolarans to perform this trick, so that the Trisolarans had to spend a lot of time.
They had energy to suppress human accelerators, but they were also worried that humans would make another technological breakthrough during this period, or be struggling to their death. Suddenly, a large number of accelerators and shielding devices were built, catching them off guard again.
For a while, they did not dare to mobilize high-level sophons from the earth to chase those fleets. It was not until another year and a half passed that the Trisolarans had accumulated enough sophons on the earth, and then they directly mobilized the sophons from the earth for scientific research.
The fleet flew in the same direction.
After all, although these fleets have left the earth for four or five years, their flying speed is incomparable to Sophon. The farthest they can fly is only a few hundred light hours, while Sophon can only fly for a few days.
Time has caught up.
The main directions for investigation by the scientific research fleet are the direction of the Earth and the direction of Trisolaris. Sophons are most likely to arrive from these two directions, and the direction of the Earth is monitored most closely.
As expected, a large number of protons began to fly towards the direction of the scientific research fleet from the direction of the earth, and began to slow down at a position about five hundred light seconds away from the scientific research fleet, leaving no time for the scientific research fleet.
It's more, but this time is enough.
"Everyone enters the first level of alert, mobilizes emergency reserves of controllable high-energy particles, mobilizes all secondary controllable high-energy particles, and launches Skynet!"
As Lan Nuo gave the order, a Nirvana person adjusted his condition to the best, then came to his post and lay down in a neural connection cabin similar to a game cabin.
They do not use neural connections to control controllable high-energy particles. The control effect of quantum fluctuations in the brain is much better than using neural connections.
They need neural connections in order to access the computer and borrow the computer's computing power more quickly.
In fact, when there are nanomachines in the body, invasive neural connections are required and signals can be transmitted at high speed. However, such transmission is still delayed after all. Compared with direct transmission through physical contact, there is still a huge gap.
One thousand three hundred and eight nirvanas and twenty-five Lannos were all prepared. The controllable high-energy particles carried a large number of secondary controllable high-energy particles and opened a huge network in space.
, each grid of the large net is only three millimeters, but this net has a diameter of thirty light seconds.
Thirty light seconds is approximately ten million kilometers, which is ten to the power of ten meters, and ten to the thirteenth power of millimeters. When converted into area, it is ten to the power of twenty-six square millimeters.
A three-millimeter grid is about the order of ten to the twenty-fifth power, which is hundreds of moles of controllable high-energy particles. In recent years, the fleet's production of controllable high-energy particles has increased significantly.
The particles are probably a few hundred moles and have a mass of about 80 kilograms.
The best Nirvana practitioners can already control forty or fifty grams of controllable high-energy particles. Thousands of people can control thirty or forty kilograms. The remaining half of the controllable high-energy particles are all controlled by Lannos themselves.
Take action to control.
It was impossible for the Trisolarans to imagine that a super-large net with a length of thirty light seconds had already loomed over them.
The distance between the Earth and the Moon is only one light second. Such a large net is enough to hold thousands of Earth-Moon systems. As for how many Earths it can hold, you can do the math yourself.
Although Sophon flies very fast, there is almost no possibility of escaping without expecting someone to catch him in such a large net.
The mesh is only three millimeters. Even the controllable high-energy particles and sophons are extremely small in size. A large number of controllable high-energy particles are enough to quickly combine with each other after the sophons are discovered to form a strong interaction material film to wrap the sophons.
Crush.
Although there are a large number of sophons in the legion, to control high-energy particles, it is not necessary to capture all the sophons. It is only necessary to capture the leading high-level sophons. Even if the remaining secondary sophons fly to the four-dimensional space, they will still be separated from the Trisolarans.
If the signal is off, nothing can be done.
Moreover, even if all are captured, it is not necessarily impossible. Even if there are many secondary sophons, they are only three or four orders of magnitude more than sophons. And what about secondary controllable high-energy particles? Compared with advanced controllable high-energy particles,
At least a dozen orders of magnitude more. The relationship between the two parties is not a one-on-one fair duel.
