On the earth today, the number of accelerators is no longer just three at the beginning. In order to race against the Trisolarans and win, hundreds of accelerators have been built one after another, almost underground in every big city.
Along with infrastructure construction, accelerators will be built.
As the Trisolarans' blockade on human technology was completely lifted, scientists one after another were like wild dogs running wild, rushing towards the laboratory crazily.
They have been holding back for too long. Six years ago, they had two years of liberation. During those two years, part of the accelerator could operate smoothly, but only part of the accelerator could produce correct results. Most of them must be retained.
Only by using an accelerator to capture sophons can we ensure that the other small part can obtain correct data.
Even so, every acceleration experiment is like opening a blind box. It is uncertain which accelerators the Trisolarans will interfere with, which accelerators can get the correct numbers, and which ones can capture sophons.
It is conceivable that even with the ability to promote technological development, every step forward is difficult.
But this time it’s different. As the spiritual energy field covers the entire geosynchronous orbit, it is already difficult to monitor what humans are doing, let alone the sophons launched by the Trisolarans to interfere with the accelerator.
arrive.
This is the golden age of scientific and technological development that has ushered in forty-three years since the outbreak of the Trisolaran Crisis. With the technical and theoretical knowledge of the Trisolarans as a reference, there is also a platform for free experimentation, free discussion, and a platform to show one's own inspiration.
In addition, after the strong suppression by the Trisolarans, the scientific research atmosphere has become more excellent than at any time in history. This is not a technological explosion, but is somewhat unjustifiable.
And what about Lanno?
Countless people looked at the Lan Nuos standing there all over the world, never sleeping, eating or drinking, and saying nothing, and they couldn't help but feel as if something was stuck in their throats.
They have devoted all their attention to intercepting Sophon, and they no longer react to external stimuli. It is as if they have truly turned into statues, holding up the future of mankind with one hand.
The posture of standing with a sword is like a guardian angel, helping mankind to resist all evil and heretical attacks.
…
Luo Ji stood in the square of the research institute and looked at Lan Nuo, who had turned into a sculpture in front of him. He took out a tissue and wiped the dust off his body bit by bit. He couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face: "You're right, we
It’s true that we are going to get busy. In the next ten years, I’m afraid no one will have the heart to go on vacation, but who can be as busy as you and don’t even have the energy to blink.”
Now everyone finally understands the significance of the life-support system carried by Lan Nuo. It is because they need to work tirelessly to suppress the Trisolarans to ensure that the earth will no longer be disturbed by sophons.
…
After holding the sword for three years, in geosynchronous orbit, Wang Miao looked through the window of the space station at the stellar battleship slowly igniting outside, with an expression of relief on his face.
He has completed the final upgrade of human conventional materials. Although the strength of nanomaterials can never be compared with strong interaction materials, he has reached the limit of human beings, relying on the richer resources in the solar system to make human nanomaterials
The strength even exceeds that of the Trisolaran nanomaterials, and now it is possible to build quite powerful star-level spacecraft.
In the past three years of development, the strongest military force of mankind has gradually returned from the hands of the Nirvana people to the hands of the army.
Although aura is extremely powerful and can even allow people to achieve teleportation effects, with the development and progress of science and technology, and as humans have initially grasped the control and use of gravitational waves, as well as the production and manufacturing of antimatter, aura is not as powerful as
He was so invincible when he first came to Earth.
Today's technological development direction is how to make warships smaller and retain the functions of warships as much as possible.
Human beings cannot stay in the solar system forever, and it is also not a wise move to place the battlefield in their own homeland.
Spaceships with long-distance voyage capabilities and strong endurance are what humans need most today.
What this requires is an antimatter engine suitable for Trisolarans. If you want to create an antimatter engine, you need conventional matter that can restrain antimatter and prevent it from annihilating each other. To obtain these, you must obtain them at the basic physics level.
breakthrough.
Human beings have been learning the Trisolaran technology, but they have never regarded this knowledge as a guideline. Every technological advancement and every scientific and technological breakthrough is accompanied by human beings' own experiments.
Perhaps many times, human beings have gone astray and made the same mistakes that Trisolarans may have also made, but these are actually the accumulation of valuable experience and the setbacks encountered in the process of technological development.
Those mistakes are themselves very valuable to a civilization.
Humans on Earth in the Trisolaran world may not have a deep understanding of this, because they always live in one world and do not understand that if they travel to different worlds, they need to re-establish the physical laws of different worlds again and again.
The hard work of different technology trees.
The Lannos have repeated this process of rebuilding science and technology more than once. In this process, most of the knowledge they originally accumulated has become something that cannot be used. But the only thing that cannot be changed is the flexibility in the process of exploring the unknown.
ideas.
The accumulation of knowledge may not be effective in other worlds, but the accumulation of methodology, the continuous accumulation of creativity, and the accumulation of inspiration can help a civilization quickly regain the glory of science and technology under completely different laws of the universe.
Only three years have passed, and the earth has been turned upside down. The number of accelerators has almost doubled. A large amount of minerals mined from Jupiter have been transported to the earth through the planet's accelerating orbit and along the highway of the solar system, where they are smelted.
They built one spacecraft after another, and they built one ring after another in space, which was also one after another accelerator.
In addition, the biggest change in mankind is probably that the time for compulsory education has been increased, to a full three years. As for why it has only been increased by three years, that is because it has only been three years since the sword holding period.
The Sword Holding Calendar is not a serious calendar, but a calendar spread among the people. It is a calendar that starts counting time after Lan Nuo shielded the Trisolaran Sophon. It is intended to urge humans to cherish time and remember every minute and every second of this freedom.
They were all exchanged for tens of thousands of heroes who transformed themselves into statues.
As for the time for compulsory education has increased significantly, and will even continue to increase, the reason is also very simple. That is the explosion of human science and technology. Humanity's current industrial system needs talents with more knowledge. Now even if you want to
To become an ordinary worker, it is even difficult to be competent without sufficient knowledge in the field of high energy physics.
Because many industrial categories, in order to speed up production efficiency, will involve the application of spiritual energy to a certain extent, and the application of such controllable high-energy particles naturally involves a lot of knowledge in the field of high-energy physics.
Just as humans were rapidly making technological breakthroughs, another proposal was also proposed and sparked heated discussions.
That is the plan jointly submitted by multiple civil organizations: "Heroes never die!"
This is an irrational plan, but it is recognized by almost all humans.
The content of the plan is very simple, that is, to save Lan Nuo's body. Although for Lan Nuo himself, each one is actually the body, but for the humans in the Trisolaran world, the one who was the first and chose self-sacrifice,
It is the true nature of Lan Nuo.
He has always been considered to have been sacrificed. After all, he took the initiative to board the spacecraft to investigate the Trisolarans. Moreover, at that time, human technology was still extremely backward, so it was basically equivalent to never returning.
.
The spacecraft didn't even carry fuel for return. It had been accelerating intermittently from the moment it set off until now, with no intention of stopping.
Now that the spacecraft has set off for twenty-one years, it has accelerated to eight percent of the speed of light, and is already 0.84 light-years away from the earth. The original plan was for Lanno to fight with the Trisolaran fleet or the Trisolaran fleet in twenty to eighty years.
Encounter with the Trisolaran fleet's detectors and obtain information about the Trisolaran fleet through close-range reconnaissance.
Although this plan no longer has strategic significance, it is of great significance to human civilization. It is a symbol of human courage and has become the inalienable spiritual core of human civilization.
Originally, people thought that the Llano body had no chance of survival, and some countries would even hold commemorative or mourning ceremonies on the day the spaceship sets sail every year, just like commemorating the great heroes in their history.
But now, the situation is obviously very different. Three years ago, after humans received controllable high-energy particles, they immediately launched and searched in the direction of Lan Nuo, hoping to get in touch with him.
Now that the two parties have reconnected, Lan Nuo's body in the spaceship has turned gray-haired. This body is now close to sixty years old, and various signs of aging appear on his body.
After boarding this ship with no return, Lan Nuo has not used the elixir of immortality. He seemed very happy to have regained contact with humans. Of course, these must have been planned by Lan Nuo. With the help of
Preview, Lan Nuo is definitely able to know everything that happens on the earth.
"You don't have to worry about me anymore. It's a surprise to me that humans can reach this point on their own. My spaceship has run out of fuel, and only a small amount of raw materials are left to control the attitude. Now these fuels are gone."
There is no need to cherish it so much anymore. I think you have already seen the Trisolaran fleet clearly without me going to investigate!
In that case, I don’t have to continue to live frugally. You don’t know that I haven’t had a big meal in a long time on this long-distance voyage. Now that our mission has been completed by others, we can have a good time.
Let’s celebrate, don’t you think?” This was said to another crew member on the ship.
Although it is a small reconnaissance spacecraft, there are still four members on board. During the voyage, two people stayed awake and the other two hibernated to alternately monitor and repair the spacecraft.
After Xia Zhiban heard that someone had completed her mission, although she was a little disappointed, she also breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll wake up the other two too. It seems like we can indeed celebrate."
"Hurry up and wake up the rest of us! The remaining supplies on the ship were originally prepared for us to fly for seventy or eighty years. Now even if we consume them like a carnival every day, it is enough for us to live comfortably for ten years.
It's been many years." Lan Nuo seemed to be about to wake up the two people in the hibernation cabin as he spoke.
The four people on the spacecraft were two men and two women. This also took into account the slight possibility that the spacecraft was not destroyed by the Trisolarans.
Lan Nuo has always considered the worst possibility. They may be directly captured by the Trisolarans, and mankind may completely fail in the war in the future and suffer genocide-like treatment.
And they may be used as the seeds of mankind. Even if they become a slave race in the future, they still retain the last glimmer of hope.
If they are lucky, after completing their reconnaissance, they may pass by the Trisolaran fleet. In that case, the spaceship may land on a planet where people can survive in endless time. By then, the spacecraft will
It is possible for humans on Earth to thrive on such a planet.
Lan Nuo's open-minded attitude actually made the people on the other side of the screen who were responsible for contacting them feel even more unhappy.
"Before you set out, the Trisolarans have already launched a small spacecraft, flying in the direction of the solar system at one-tenth the speed of light. Maybe... maybe they will meet you in a few months."
The girl in charge of communication was originally a professional announcer. No matter who she spoke to, she could maintain a voice as sweet as a lark, but when he said this, his voice was still choked and hoarse.
"It seems that we don't have ten years to have a carnival. Children, don't cry. This is the ending we already knew when we boarded the spacecraft. There is no need to feel sorry for us. Before leaving this world, we can learn about the current situation of human beings.
All these achievements are the best comfort for us." Although Xia Zhiban was a little caught off guard by the news in front of her, she was not very enlightened when she was able to board the spaceship, which in turn comforted the people across the screen.
girl gets up.
Lan Nuo looked at the screen, and the playful expression on his face gradually turned serious: "Child, tell me, have you made a plan to save us?"
The announcer girl was stunned. She glanced at the plan named Hero's Immortality in her hand, and her lips tightened involuntarily.
Heroes really shouldn't end like this, but they have to walk 307 days apart from each other, separated by light. How should they save the former heroes?
