Wander!blue star

The number of this battleship is 09721. There are a total of [-] Trisolarans on the battleship, [-] of them are normally active, and the other [-] are dehydrated and dormant.

The ones performing the task at this moment are the twelve normally active ones.

"Remove the noose," the acting captain ordered.

A Trisolaran man took off the nooses from the four corners of the cube. He was careful in all his movements, for fear of triggering some switch and causing their entire battleship to be wiped out.

However, his worries were obviously unnecessary.

If the shock of picking off the lasso could detonate the cube, then the cube should have exploded when they dragged it back to the ship.

Of course, his fear is understandable.

After the Trisolaran civilization lost its home star, it became a wandering civilization. On the one hand, they lost the resources of the home star at their fingertips, but on the other hand, they also got rid of the haze that the home star could be destroyed by a star at any time.

They truly control their own destiny.

In space, their social system has undergone subtle changes, and their emotions have become richer, with selfishness being the first to revive.

No Trisolaran is willing to undertake the dangerous task of capturing the cube.

Their battleship was not voluntary, but the one hundred and twenty people on the battleship had no background, so they were assigned to perform this task.

"Be careful!" the acting captain said nervously.

Although the Trisolaran who picked up the lasso was very careful, the acting captain still thought he was moving too much.

His reminder frightened the Trisolaran man who was picking up the noose. The Trisolaran man shrugged unconsciously, causing the equipment on the space suit to rub closely against the cube.

swoosh-

Suddenly, everyone was shocked.

However, the cube did not change at all and remained in place, showing no signs of exploding.

"It seems that this thing is not that easy to explode." The acting captain breathed a sigh of relief, "Move quickly, the head of state is still waiting for our reply."

"Yes! Captain!"

More Trisolarans went to work, and they quickly removed the ropes wrapped around the cube's surface.

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the cube.

Bang!
  This sound frightened all the Trisolarans, and one even crawled under the table, but there was still no sign of the cube exploding.

"What was that noise just now?" The acting captain was a little scared.

The crew replied, "I don't know."

Trisolarans do not have the ability to see through, and they cannot see what is inside the cube.

In fact, the jump engine was self-destructing just now.

In order to prevent the jump engine from wandering into the "Three-Body" universe, scientists from the United Government installed a gadget inside the cube.

This thing can use fusion technology to burn the key parts of the jump engine.

beep!

A majestic voice came from the acting captain's ear: "Crew No. 80511, what's going on with that cube now?"

The person asking the question was the current Science Archon.

"There are currently no changes in the cube, but we just heard a noise inside. We don't know what happened." The acting captain answered truthfully.

"There was a noise?" the Science Archon said after thinking for two seconds, "There may be something wrong inside. Use your equipment to check the surface of the cube immediately to see if it is still a perfect cube?"

"Yes!" the acting captain replied nervously.

The newsletter is over.

The acting captain took a deep breath and ordered firmly: "Don't be timid. It would have exploded long ago. Put this thing on the conveyor belt and transport it to the infirmary for inspection." This is a battleship. , not a scientific research vessel.

Only the medical room on the ship has equipment that can magnify things, and the observation accuracy is nanometer level.

"I hope to find something."

Before capturing the cube, the Trisolaran fleet had already conducted an observation on it. The accuracy of that observation was one picometer, which is one thousandth of a nanometer.

With picometer-level observation accuracy, this cube is a perfect cube.

Logically speaking, the Science Archon shouldn't expect anything to be seen from the cube with nanometer-level observation accuracy, but there was a loud noise inside the cube just now, and maybe something can be discovered this time.

Anyway, just give it a try.

Even if the cube did explode, it would not be able to blow up him and the Führer. At best, it would kill the ship of Trisolarans who captured the cube.

The Trisolarans took the cube into the medical room.

They took the medical room's magnification equipment off the operating table and placed it next to the cube.

They began to adjust the accuracy of their observations.

Decimeter level, perfect!

Centimeter level, perfect!

Millimeter level, perfect!

The observation accuracy is getting higher and higher, but the surface of the cube is still extremely smooth, not even a tiny hole can be seen, the eight edges are straight without any bend, and the distance between adjacent edges is exactly [-] degrees. .

Perfect is the most appropriate description of this cube.

Even if there is nothing inside the cube, just the manufacturing technology of this cube is worthy of the Trisolaran civilization's painstaking study for a while.

Finally, the observation accuracy has reached the nanometer level.

The acting captain was a little pleased.

Because the nanometer level is the maximum observation accuracy of this equipment, if the cube is still in perfect condition under this observation accuracy, they can hand over the cube to a professional research ship.

To this day, he still believes that the cube lurks immeasurable danger.

But no one would listen to him.

He hoped that the cube would hold up with nanometer-scale observation accuracy, and that he would be out of danger.

"How's it going? Has there been any change?" he asked.

"Yes!" said the Trisolaran person in charge of the observation, "I saw densely packed small holes. This cube is no longer perfect!"

The acting captain's heart skipped a beat.

Finished!

This cube cannot be rotated out.
  But the Science Archon who was watching was very excited. He said excitedly: "Okay, okay, it's okay if it's no longer perfect. We can study it if it's no longer perfect!"

This cube has the handwriting of the previous Science Archon on it, and the other party claims that it is a gift to them.

If they kept their posture perfect, they wouldn't be sure whether the gift was the box itself or something else inside.

But the perfect posture of the box is no longer there, and the gift is most likely the contents of the box.

"Some people will come to your ship with equipment later, and you must fully cooperate with them!" the science consul warned, "When the research results are obtained, I will give each of you one piece of credit!"

"Yes, Archon!" the acting captain replied weakly.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little tired. (End of chapter)
