The Science Fiction World of Xueba

After looking at the current political situation of mankind, Pang Xuelin began to look at the development history of Fleet International over the past 100 years.

What surprised Pang Xuelin was that the people who witnessed him using the law of the dark forest to deter the Trisolaran civilization in the "Gravity" communication cabin were all still alive.

After serving as the supreme leader of Fleet International for twenty years, Vader chose to hibernate. Since then, he has awakened several times, but the awakening time is not long. After confirming that the overall development of Fleet International has not deviated from the track, he is still in hibernation. state.

Luo Ji was the second leader of Fleet International. He had served in this position for more than twenty years and chose to hibernate at the age of sixty.

Ding Yi also stayed at the position of the leader of the Supreme Science Committee for 20 years, and then woke up and slept to ensure that the overall development level of human science and technology is not out of shape.

Hines chose to wake up after Ding Yi and took over the position of leader of the Supreme Science Council. Now he is also in hibernation.

The third leader of Fleet International is Wallfacer Rey Diaz. After Rey Diaz left office, Taylor took over.

The first commander of the solar system fleet was Zhang Beihai who woke up in the 108th year of the Crisis Era.

Zhang Beihai stayed in this position for ten years, and then Chu Yan stepped forward to take over.

...

It is these old buddies who have continued to carry forward and ensure that the development of Fleet International is on the right track as a whole.

However, in recent years, there has been a certain crisis within Fleet International.

Previously, the existence of people like Vader Luoji was ridiculed by the Earth International as old man politics, and these people held high positions for a long time, which also aroused dissatisfaction among the young people in Fleet International.

Later, maybe Luo Ji and Vader realized that going on like this was not an option, and began to hibernate one after another, gradually delegating power.

In the past fifty years, the leaders of Fleet International have basically lost the presence of AD humans.

Vader's influence in Fleet International has also been deliberately minimized.

Even this time, the reason why Fleet International woke up Pang Xuelin was because of the arrival of the three-body civilization detector. Fleet International's high-level executives were divided into two factions on how to deal with the three-body civilization.

In this case,

It is entirely possible to consider waking up Vader, Zhang Beihai and the others, and listen to their opinions.

However, considering Vader's influence in Fleet International, the senior management of Fleet International decided to wake up Pang Xuelin, and Pang Xuelin made the decision.

After all, although Pang Xuelin was the founder of Fleet International, he did not hold a high position for a long time.

Moreover, in name, Pang Xuelin is also the supreme commander of Fleet International, and has a veto power on major decision-making issues related to the future of mankind.

Such a character is most suitable for the current political environment.

...

After reading the development history of Fleet International, Pang Xuelin turned his attention to basic science and military fields.

In the field of basic science, human beings have also made great breakthroughs in recent years. Although the construction of a unified theory has not yet been completed, considerable progress has been made in experiments.

Twenty years ago, the most powerful hadron accelerator of human beings was the Jupiter Orbital Accelerator, which discovered the existence of gravitons, which further complemented the foundation of the Grand Unified Theory.

The next-generation orbital accelerator around the sun has also entered the construction stage.

Many scientists have already predicted that as long as the orbital accelerator around the sun is built and the grand unified theory is verified, the basic science of mankind will surely make a leap forward by leaps and bounds.

Even the legendary light-speed spaceship is likely to become a reality.

At present, the most powerful interstellar warship of human beings adopts the propellant-free nuclear fusion propulsion technology, and the fastest speed can reach 20% of the speed of light, which is already twice as fast as the fleet sent by the Trisolaran civilization back then. .

The weapons carried on these interstellar warships, in addition to conventional weapons such as electromagnetic rail guns, laser cannons, particle beam cannons, and interstellar missiles, also have a killer weapon called a gravity bomb.

This is a super weapon developed by scientists after the discovery of gravitons. This kind of bomb can create a strong gravitational field near the spacecraft in a very short time.

Once the spacecraft falls into this gravitational field, the size of the spacecraft will break at least, or the entire spacecraft will be torn apart by gravity.

In addition, humans have a more powerful weapon-antimatter bombs.

Antimatter bombs can be called the most powerful weapon in human history, and the annihilation of positive and negative matter will turn into pure energy.

According to the mass-energy equation of Einstein's special theory of relativity, the energy contained in one gram of antimatter is equivalent to three atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, and the largest antimatter bomb made by humans weighs one ton.

The power of an antimatter bomb is equivalent to a thousand stellar hydrogen bombs (100 million tons equivalent).

It is said that this kind of bomb was developed by humans investing huge resources when Rey Diaz was in power.

In addition, antimatter thrusters developed based on antimatter technology have also entered the research and development stage.

In the laboratory, considerable progress has been made in the technology of annihilation of matter and antimatter to obtain energy. According to the estimates of scientists, within fifty years, human beings will be able to complete the construction of an antimatter engine spacecraft.

At present, the solar system fleet under the jurisdiction of Fleet International already has more than 3,000 stellar-class warships, and tens of thousands of anti-matter bombs and gravity bombs are stored.

Such a powerful strategic force gave mankind the courage to deal with the Trisolaran civilization fleet.

But when he saw the material technology of human beings, Pang Xuelin frowned slightly.

In the field of materials science, he did not see the shadow of strong interaction materials.

The so-called strong interaction materials have to talk about the strong interaction force.

In nature, the four basic forces of interaction are strong interaction, weak interaction, electromagnetism, and gravity.

The so-called strong force is the force acting between hadrons.

The earliest studied strong interaction is the nuclear force between nucleons (protons or neutrons), which is the action that binds nucleons into atomic nuclei.

Later, after scientists discovered the π meson that interacts with nucleons, hundreds of kinds of particles with strong interaction have been discovered in experiments, and these particles are collectively called hadrons.

It binds quarks together in protons and neutrons, and it binds protons and neutrons in atoms.

The strong force is the strongest among the four basic forces, but it acts on the second shortest range.

Power has a short range of action, but it manifests itself differently.

At long distances, the strength is zero. When the distance between the atomic nuclei is less than 2*10^-15m, the strong force begins to take effect, which is manifested as a huge repulsive force.

But when the two get closer, after reaching 0.8*10^-15m, the strong force will be transformed into attraction.

This attraction can firmly combine the various structures inside the nucleus.

Weak interaction force, referred to as weak force.

The weak force is the second weakest of the four fundamental forces (only stronger than gravity), a force that has a shorter range than the strong force, but is much weaker than the strong force. The weak force causes protons to decay into neutrons, creating the conditions for nuclear reactions in matter. The current physical theory has been able to prove that the weak force and electromagnetic force can be converted into each other.

The electromagnetic force is the second strongest force in the universe, 100 times weaker than the strong force and ten billion times stronger than the weak force.

The electromagnetic force affects farther than the strong force, but not infinitely far. It is only used in the range of atoms or molecules.

The performance of electromagnetic force is that the same sex repels each other and the opposite sex attracts each other. Electromagnetic force dominates all chemical changes (including life forms) and most physical properties (hardness of objects, etc.) of all things in the world. a kind of force.

Gravity is the weakest force, 10^36 times weaker than electromagnetism. But the gravitational force works at an infinite distance.

Theoretically speaking, only neutron star materials are strong interaction materials.

But in "Dark Forest", the Three-Body Civilization has already been able to derive strong force from the nucleus, so that the strong force still takes effect when the distance is several orders of magnitude higher.

In this way, the atoms of the substance can be firmly locked by force, the surface temperature is close to absolute zero, basically there is no vibration, and the strength is thousands of times or tens of thousands of times higher than the most powerful material of human beings.

The Trisolaran civilization probe "water droplet" made of this material easily destroyed 2,000 human star-class warships.

Pang Xuelin frowned.

Judging from the strong interaction materials, in the two hundred years of development, although human beings have made considerable progress in the field of basic science, and can even be compared with the Three-Body Civilization, the overall level of science and technology still has a certain gap with the Three-Body Civilization. difference.

Even with the strength of the current human fleet in the solar system, when encountering the Trisolaran civilization water droplet detector, the result may not be much better than that in the original book.

And why the Three-Body Civilization sent detectors over even though it had clearly informed the other party that it knew the law of the dark forest, it was just for a few purposes.

Since the entire solar system has been completely controlled by humans at present, it is difficult for sophons to sneak in, so entering through detectors is undoubtedly the best way to understand the current level of technological development of human civilization.

As long as it is determined that human beings still do not have the ability to communicate with gravitational waves, the Trisolaran civilization can completely conduct large-scale electromagnetic interference on the sun through water droplets, thus making human beings lose the ability to deter the dark forest through the sun.

Moreover, by using the indefensible characteristics of water droplets, the Three-Body Civilization can also completely destroy human space power, thus making mankind lose hope.

"Gravitational wave communication!"

Thinking of this, Pang Xuelin quickly called up the gravitational wave technology from the tablet, and after watching it for a long time, Pang Xuelin couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat!

The main reason why he didn't establish a dark forest deterrent system back then was that the deterrence of amplifying electromagnetic waves through the sun was inherently insufficient. Once it was disturbed on a large scale, it would basically be meaningless.

Therefore, the gravitational wave dark forest deterrence system is the ultimate deterrence.

In the plan left by Pang Xuelin back then, gravitational wave communication was also a key project to break through.

Under normal circumstances, two hundred years is enough for Ding Yi and the others to complete the research on gravitational wave communication.

but!

Due to the struggle between the old faction and the young faction within Fleet International, after the young faction took over the leadership of Fleet International fifty years ago, a large number of projects from the old man's era were cut off.

Thus, the gravitational wave communication technology that was about to succeed suffered an unreasonable disaster.

In the past 50 years, human beings have only completed the principle research of gravitational wave communication technology, but have made a lot of investment in neutrino communication technology.

The problem is that the one-way communication of neutrinos makes it possible for Trisolaris civilization to intercept neutrinos information through the two-dimensional expansion of sophons.

The omnidirectional communication principle of gravitational wave technology is the best way to deter the dark forest!

If human beings do not have gravitational wave communication technology, even if Vader and the others are still there, without knowing the characteristics of water droplets, once the water droplets enter the solar system and seal the sun, what awaits human beings may be a catastrophe.

After all, sophons can't physically affect humans, but water droplets can!

At that time, my last mission, in the battle of doomsday, to save as many solar system fleets as possible, I am afraid there is no way to complete it at all.

"grass!"

After reading these materials, even with Pang Xuelin's big heart, he couldn't help but sweat.

These guys almost broke something big!

The only thing they did right was to wake themselves up six months before the droplet entered the solar system.

Everything is still in time.

...

Early the next morning, Cao Bin came to pick up Pang Xuelin.

Along with Cao Bin, there is also a senior official of Fleet International.

"Professor Pang, hello, welcome to the new era, I am Prieter Bell, senior commissioner of the Fleet International Standing Committee, welcome to the new era!"

"Hello!"

Pang Xuelin shook hands with Bell and smiled faintly.

Bell smiled and said: "Professor Pang, Mr. Cao Bin must have told you about the current situation. There are still six months before the Trisolaran probe enters the solar system. There are endless debates within Fleet International on how to deal with these probes. Some people They tend to send out the entire solar system fleet to show the Trisolarans the might of human beings. After all, we have established a sophon blind zone within the orbit of Pluto. The Solar System Fleet will help bring Trisolaran civilization back to the negotiating table."

"Another group of people expressed their opposition. They believed that the solar system fleet should be dispatched with all members. After capturing the Trisolaran civilization probe, it should directly attack the Trisolaran civilization main fleet. Now the technological level of the human fleet is no less than that of the Trisolaran civilization. civilization, even several times more in number, we can completely crush the Trisolaran fleet, and even launch a counterattack against the home planet of the Trisolaran civilization!"

"At present, these two major points of view are mainly debated. The reason why we wake you up is because of our respect for you. It is your efforts that have enabled human civilization to build a powerful solar system fleet. Therefore, we also hope that you I can witness this glorious moment with my own eyes. On the other hand, in the Fleet International Fundamental Law, you have a veto power over any major decisions concerning the future of mankind. As long as you make a choice, we will act according to your decision."

Pang Xuelin looked at Prieter Baker indifferently, and said: "Isn't this decision going to be decided at the Fleet International General Assembly two months later? I want to understand the current situation before making a decision. In addition, During this time, I am going to return to Earth."

The whistling cold wind engulfed the fine raindrops, and Yan Xiangdong couldn't open his eyes. The weightlessness of the violent fall made him feel dizzy.

Going down, you can vaguely feel the flashing police lights in the rain.

The ground magnified rapidly in Yan Xiangdong's eyes. Is death finally coming?

boom--

...

"ah……"

Yan Xiangdong sat up from the bed suddenly, the veins on his face were bulging, panting heavily, like a person who had been drowning for a long time, suddenly surfaced.

"I... I didn't die?"

Yan Xiangdong subconsciously lowered his head to check his body, all limbs and body were intact.

Falling from a 30-story building without any shelter below, the chance of surviving is even lower than winning the lottery. How did I survive?

Yan Xiangdong tried his best to calm down his throbbing heart, and looked around.

The room was simply furnished, with a solid wood desk occupying most of the space, and the party flag and the national flag were placed on the desk, representing the authority of the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau.

Behind the desk is a cabinet of case files, and the small bed on which he is sitting is opposite the desk.

Yan Xiangdong is very familiar with this place, this is his office.

For the 2.23 serial murder case, Yan Xiangdong stayed here for the last few nights.

"But why did I appear here? Even if I didn't die and fell from a 30-story building, my colleagues should send me to the hospital for examination anyway? How could they just let me lie in the office and ignore them?"

The suffocation brought by the extreme fear made Yan Xiangdong's thinking acuity drop to freezing point, even so, he still found something strange.

For example, he was still wearing the black jacket he had changed last night.

Last night, Xiao Xu from the back office bought supper for the task force, and accidentally spilled a cup of milk tea on Yan Xiangdong's jacket.

At that time, Yan Xiangdong specially changed his clothes, but now, the black jacket was completely worn on him without leaving any stains.

Another example, when he climbed up the unfinished building yesterday, his left arm was scratched by a steel bar protruding from the corner of the stairs, but now, his left arm is intact.

Everything around gave Yan Xiangdong a strange sense of familiarity, but he couldn't tell where this familiarity came from.

"What the hell is going on? Is it all just a dream?"

Yan Xiangdong frowned, turned over and got out of bed.

As soon as he reached the door, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a heroic-looking young policewoman rushed in with a cup of milk tea and a hamburger.

"ah……"

The policewoman was taken aback by Yan Xiangdong who suddenly appeared at the door, her feet twitched, and she fell forward involuntarily.

"careful!"

Yan Xiangdong stepped forward quickly, subconsciously holding the policewoman's arm, but the milk tea in the policewoman's hand spilled all over Yan Xiangdong's jacket.

"Oh, Team Yan, I'm sorry, I've prepared a supper for everyone, and I wanted you to have some too..."

Still in shock, the policewoman quickly put down the cup and burger, and took out a tissue to wipe the stains on Yan Xiangdong's body.
