Ten thousand I am across the heavens

The appearance of the Trisolaran is very mysterious even in the original book.Humans have never seen this alien appearance, and now it seems that this alien appearance will be revealed soon.

Lan Nuo was also a little curious about what kind of creature he would see, but the robot like a trash can expressed his disdain for it.

"Rare is more strange. Don't think about what special race you will see. There are only a few reasonable body structures in the three-dimensional world. Trisolarans can empathize with you to a certain extent, which means that they are at least bilaterally symmetrical animals.

Among the bilaterally symmetrical animals, a reasonable body structure that can use tools will not be much different from yours. If you are lucky, you may encounter a race with eight limbs. If you are not lucky , They may have a humanoid shape like you, walk with two legs, and use tools with both hands.

This is a mathematical problem. If you study biological topology carefully, you will find out.

A phenomenon called convergent evolution should also be found on your planet, that is, completely different species, even completely different families, species of different classes, after living in a similar environment, will gradually evolve into similar images , occupying the same ecological niche.

Even though their internal structures may be very different, their characteristics are very similar.

The most typical ones are actually ferns and your current angiosperms. In the jungles on your earth in ancient times, there were no trees as you see now, and all of them grew ferns. But the forests at that time looked the same as It doesn't make much of a difference now, because ferns back then looked almost the same as trees do now.

The same is true for intelligent creatures. You need to use tools. If you want to escape from heavy natural selection, you can cooperate with each other to form a society, and you have enough potential to develop into space. There are actually very few images you can choose.

Even in the four-dimensional world, the degree of freedom of space is higher, the images of creatures are more colorful, and the appearance characteristics of intelligent creatures are also very similar, and there are not many images that can be selected.

Unlike Sophon, who is not like a Trisolaran, he can be broken into pieces.

In the Marvel world, most of the various alien races look like humans. Even if they are quite different from humans, they just have some more organs than humans. Even if they are tree people, they will eventually grow In human form, the racial diversity in the cemetery description is even lower.

In order to verify what kind of substance the silver water droplet is, the controllable high-energy particles collided with it under remote control, and this impact also relieved the scientists who had held their breath and felt the huge gap in technology.

Now humans have been able to synthesize extremely small strong-interaction materials, so after seeing the water droplets, the scientists did not show the daze and panic in the original work, but only showed their amazement at the technology of Trisolaran.

The water droplets that were the first to come into contact with controllable high-energy particles demonstrated ultra-high technology that is beyond the reach of human beings today.

In fact, if the deceleration is not performed, the field of vision will be distorted at a speed close to the speed of light, and it is impossible to see the appearance of the Trisolaran fleet at all. Now the image of the Trisolaran fleet is projected on the screen after deceleration.

As detectors, they fly in front of the fleet. Among the tasks they are responsible for, a very important point is to detect whether there are meteorites and the like in front of the fleet, so as to ensure that there will be no fatal collisions during the high-speed navigation of the fleet. .

When the fleet was just built, the technology of the Trisolarans was not much higher than that of humans. It should be at that time, when the technology was not enough, in order to save fuel and carry more supplies needed for immigrants, they carried out This design allows the spacecraft to remove more fuel to adjust the direction of flight and decelerate. "

On the screen, the view presented is that the controllable high-energy particles came around the spaceship, took pictures around the spaceship a few times, and then found a gap with a large gap in the spaceship, and drilled in through the gap.

Even if the gas can be sealed and a space where the gas does not leak out is maintained, it is still enough for controllable high-energy particles to easily penetrate.

These silvery drops of water travel faster than the launch ship.

Obviously, the Trisolarans would not make the joke of two thousand cannonballs like human beings. It is unreasonable to sail in space in such a dense formation. The Trisolaran fleet is quite scattered, and the overall formation is also It is not a three-dimensional formation, but a wild goose formation.

Bypassing these densely packed cables, the controllable high-energy particles found that this is a closed space, which should be isolated from the living area of ​​the fleet, and they can shuttle through the gaps in it to find the reactor of the spacecraft. Different controllable high-energy particles saw Reactors are also different.

"I don't know if their fleets are all made of this material? If so, the information we can obtain is probably limited. Controllable high-energy particles without four-dimensional fragments cannot penetrate into the fully enclosed strong interaction It is made of strong materials, I hope there are gaps in their spaceship, it is best not to design the spaceship’s door as a wave-like liquid, then it will really be a seamless egg.”

Lan Nuo is not particularly worried about this problem that scientists are worried about. In fact, strong interaction materials are not invincible. Controllable high-energy particles can penetrate, but they will also be smashed to pieces when they penetrate. Technology is limited, and the controllable high-energy particles are broken to a certain extent and cannot be used.

And this is already the countdown to the collision between the two sides. For the next hour, everyone almost forgot to breathe. In the observation room, only the faint sound of mechanical operation can be heard, and there are almost no human voices.

Trisolaran’s spaceship also looks a bit strange. It looks like an ecological roller. The propeller is at the tail of the slowly rotating roller. It is still in the process of accelerating. The fleet has not yet reached the highest speed and needs to be accelerated again. It will take more than ten years to turn off the accelerator and enter the process of uniform linear motion.

Of course, it must be due to the intervention of some extremely powerful individuals, which is different from the more natural evolution in the Trisolaran world.

So don't expect too much, Trisolarans may look almost exactly like you, except for a dehydration function. "The cemetery always pours cold water on this kind of time when everyone is very excited, it seems that this is a bad taste of the old people of a lost civilization.

With the flight of controllable high-energy particles in the universe, the Trisolaran fleet can already be observed through optical observations. The scientists waiting in front of the screen held their breaths, especially those biologists, who stared at it. Keep your eyes open and wait to witness the moment when two civilizations meet.

"The reactor is mainly divided into two parts, and the location where the energy is generated is at the place where the two parts combine. I think the relatively complex area should be used to produce antimatter, and the relatively simple area may be used to refine Matter that annihilates with antimatter." The analysis this time was not done by Lan Nuo, but by a high-energy physicist present.

The controllable high-energy particles can't penetrate the surface of the water droplets at all, and can only be observed on the surface, and the picture is constantly enlarged, and the information finally transmitted is absolutely smooth on the silver surface.

A part of the controllable high-energy particles decelerated in mid-air. These were prepared to catch up with the fleet. The remaining ones that did not decelerate continued to fly towards the direction of the Trisolaran galaxy at high speed, and then passed the fleet at a very high speed. .

"It's possible, but I think it's more likely that antimatter has been refined on Trisolaran, and that relatively complex structure should only be used to store antimatter, um... no matter what the situation is , there should be the weakness of the spaceship.

However, as the controllable high-energy ions approached the fleet, everyone soon discovered that this worry was unnecessary. No matter what material the fleet was made of, at least they were not integrally formed, but had many gaps.

On the largest flagship, there is a different reaction furnace, at least a technology that scientists cannot understand at all, but reasonable guesses can be made through the structure of the reaction furnace.

"In this regard... When you go to my side, you will find that the universe is more monotonous than you imagined." Lan Nuo said this to the tomb alone.Others couldn't understand what he meant, but the cemetery felt thoughtful after hearing this.

After drilling in, all kinds of pipelines appeared in the field of vision. It can be roughly judged that these lines are similar to the wires on the earth. Some are metal covered with a layer of insulation, and some are bare. Although the Trisolarans have mastered much higher technology than humans, it seems that the electronic control system of the spaceship is the most convenient and practical.

In previous observations, the surface of the water droplet was almost absolutely smooth.With the collision of controllable high-energy particles, the operator can feel the microscopic world in a very intuitive way. The feeling is like seeing with eyes or touching with fingers, and the feeling conveyed by the observer is like touching a a tightly fitting atomic nucleus.

And as the controllable high-energy particles got closer and closer to the fleet, they could finally barely see what the fleet looked like.

"To design such a structure is a bit similar to a solar sail, but the Trisolarans should use another method of propulsion, perhaps by hitting the sail with a high-energy laser beam to propel the spacecraft.

The first batch of controllable high-energy particles sent out did not come with secondary controllable high-energy particles, that is, the batch whose number can be counted. There are only more than 5000 in total. At least to make a hole in the strong interaction force material, at least thousands of controllable high-energy particles must be accelerated to close to the speed of light to collide with it, and then it is possible to send a controllable high-energy particle into it for detection.

Most of what they see is nuclear fusion reaction, this kind of mass-energy conversion in the sun, it seems that it is also the mainstream energy source of Trisolarans.

According to the calculation of the mass-energy conversion formula, we only need to invest about ten to the thirteenth power of controllable high-energy particles, which can have a visible impact on the antimatter in this reaction such as the macroscopic world, and maybe help him break the constraints The container, the big explosion caused by that may destroy the entire spaceship. " Lan Nuo looked like a reactor on the screen, with malicious intentions.

The controllable high-energy particles and the fleet are heading towards each other. If they don't slow down, they will cross the fleet at a speed close to the speed of light. In that case, there is no time to slow down and stop.

However, it can be seen from the fact that human beings can still be unilaterally suppressed the development of science and technology, even if it was not much higher at that time, the current Trisolaran technology still has an overwhelming advantage over human beings.

As the controllable high-energy particles approached, this point was also confirmed after observing silver droplets of total reflection in the fleet.

Although the spaceship of the fleet looks like a huge drum, there is a huge sail-like thing on the outer edge of the drum. It has been put away at this time, but traces of such a structure can still be seen. When necessary, they can be re-deployed to become a super large sail with a diameter of nearly a kilometer.

Some scientists put forward an analysis, which was approved by everyone, and at the same time eased people's fear of Trisolarans. Many years ago, Trisolarans' technology was not much higher than that of humans. Otherwise, the spaceship would not need to be designed. It's like this.

"It turned out to be a strong interaction material. It is indeed an incredible technology. I remember that two years ago, our scientists synthesized a piece of strong interaction material with a side length of fifteen nanometers in the laboratory. We regarded it as this An invention that spanned centuries, it now appears that this is already a fairly mature technology for the Trisolarans."

Such a luxurious thing, other people can't do Lan Nuo but can do it in the rehearsal, there will be no consumption at all, and you can leave with the information.

The Trisolaran fleet is quite scattered, and from a distance, you can only see one small dot after another. If you zoom in with a telescope, only one spaceship will appear in the field of vision at the same time.

However, there are no controllable high-energy particles. At this time, it is meaningless to search for antimatter for annihilation. Even if the entire mass of a proton is converted into energy, it cannot even spark a spark in the macroscopic world.

After searching this enclosed area, the controllable high-energy particles crashed towards the wall below. Facts have proved that a part of the outer shell of the spaceship is made of strong-interaction materials, and most of the structures are nanomaterials, which are controllable. High-energy particles can easily penetrate, and after penetrating through this layer of material, you will come to the member cabin, and coming here means that it is not far from actually seeing the appearance of the Trisolaran.
