The road to technology

Chapter 255 Chapter 250 II Destruction of you, what has it to do with you
Natural Selection's non-propellant fusion thrusters sprayed a blue tail flame, and flew past the Mantis, which was about to catch water droplets.

"Let's go and say goodbye, it's going to be a sea of ​​trouble!"

Ding Yi, whose hair was already grey, was wearing a space suit, standing and staring at the tail flame that pierced the starry sky and gradually receded into a spot of light. A sentence that only he could hear sounded from his heart.

He is a physicist, two centuries ago, and he is still teaching cutting-edge physics in universities.Now let him be the first person to touch the water drop, it is indeed what everyone expects.

Ding Yi actually understood very well in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

There is no song, no praise, only the accelerating point of light shouting, behold... this is the hope of mankind.

The natural selection will accelerate to 15% of the speed of light in the near future, and at that time, the crew members on the natural selection will wake up from the deep sea acceleration fluid.

The sleep in the deep-sea accelerator fluid is so wonderful that Chu Yan, who is as steady as an old dog, led all the members of the Blue Space to immerse in it.

Ding Yi didn't continue to sigh, because the entire space fleet was ready, a total of [-] battleships were lined up neatly, and the sunlight from five astronomical units away reflected the light of technology on their surfaces. Human beings have exhausted their greatest resources to create the space power after two centuries, and their strong ships and guns are quietly waiting for the arrival of water droplets.

The well-organized fleet arrays all illustrate the achievements of human beings in the past two centuries. In this way, human beings solemnly told Trisolarans: the era of being intimidated before has passed, and since then, the offensive and defensive trends have changed!

This sentence was originally said by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so there is one less sentence: "Kou can go, so can I!"

The fusion engines of the entire Combined Fleet sprayed fireworks to adjust their attitude. Not long after, at a distance of a thousand kilometers from the target, the Combined Fleet was already synchronized with the speed of the water droplets.

Afterwards, most of the warships turned off their fusion engines, floating quietly above the abyss of space.The 120 million people in the fleet watched with bated breath as the Mantis made its short voyage.

"Like a tear of the Virgin Mary." There was an admiration in the channel!
The Mantis has adjusted its speed to be in sync with the water droplet, and then the mechanical arm slowly stretched out, and then firmly clamped the water droplet.

"Be careful, don't scratch it!" A voice sounded on the communication channel, speaking to the operator of the robotic arm.

But the scratch did not happen in the end, and the mechanical arm began to retract.

Although the water drop has an absolutely smooth surface, its surface is still solitary. The mechanical claws of the Mantis just caught the two sides of the raised part in the middle of it, so this grasp caught the absolutely smooth water drop. .

And the water drop was motionless like a cicada, and then the mantis of the Mantis pulled it back to the main cabin.

The self-destruction of the water droplets analyzed by the military experts did not happen.So the current situation confirms people's speculation: if it is really a military probe, it will definitely self-destruct after falling into the enemy's hands. Now it can be confirmed that it is a gift from Trisolaran to human beings. It is difficult for this civilization to A signal of peace sent in human-understandable expressions.

The world is jubilant, and people are jubilant and joyful, because judging from the performance of the Trisolaran detector, human beings have succeeded.

The presence of the Combined Fleet in space gave the public a graphic idea of ​​human power.Now, the earth civilization already has the confidence to face all kinds of enemies calmly.

"First do a material composition analysis!"

"Switch to electron microscope mode..."

After magnifying 1000 million times with the electron tunneling microscope mode, the uneven surface of the water droplets could not be seen. Ding Yi thought that the magnifying device was wrong, but after I tried to magnify the cuff of my clothes, he confirmed that the amplifier was correct. .

Because this is a historic moment, every move of Ding Yi is broadcast live.

That's when he realized something was wrong.

"Geological Hammer!"

"Give!"

Ding Yi took the geological hammer, raised his arm and slammed it hard, the hammer's shock force almost made him drop it.

Then he took the amplifier that had been adjusted to the maximum multiple and leaned over to the place where he hit it.

The amplifier under the electron tunneling microscope mode is still the same, smooth, without a trace of ups and downs or pits.

The researchers who witnessed the history beside him also saw Ding Yi's actions. At this time, he found Ding Yi's face was serious, so he asked, "What material is the water drop?"

"I can only guess." Ding Yi raised her head and said, "The molecules of this thing are tightly arranged together, and then firmly fixed, there is no molecular vibration!"

"What force can do this?" said the expedition team member who followed him.

"Strong interaction force!" Ding Yi said, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Then... what does it do?"

"What does destroying you have to do with you?" Ding Yi said.

This sentence brought a moment of dead silence, and when the other three members of the expedition team and the million people in the joint fleet were chewing on its meaning, Ding Yi suddenly said: "Run." These two words were spoken in a low voice , but then, he raised his hands and shouted hoarsely: "Stupid children, hurry up - run - ah!"

Before Ding Yi yelled out the words, the water drop quietly asked him to check it, so that he could recognize its material and its technological content.From this point of view, the Trisolarans have already learned tactics, they want the water droplets to destroy the belief in human resistance.

Presumably at this moment, the Trisolarans who watched all this through Sophon's real-time communication had already burst out laughing.If only they had that much affection.

And the moment Ding Yi shouted, the water drop moved, and a blue halo appeared at the tip of the tail of the water drop. The halo was small at first, but it was very bright, covering everything around it in blue light, and it expanded rapidly. , the color changes from blue to yellow and finally to red, as if the halo was not produced by water droplets, but just drilled out of the ring.

As the halo expands, its luminosity also decreases. When it expands to about twice the maximum diameter of the water droplet, it disappears. At the same time as it disappears, a second small blue halo appears at the tip, expanding like the first one. , discoloration, weakened luminosity, and disappeared quickly.In this way, the halo continuously appears and expands from the tail of the water droplet, with a frequency of two or three times per second. Under the propulsion of the halo, the water droplet begins to move and accelerates sharply.

Ding Yi's voice could not be heard in the end, because the strong interference initiated by the water droplets disrupted the signal.The Mantis also melted in the drop's halo.

When the water drop flew 16.7 kilometers, it had exceeded [-] kilometers per second, and the acceleration continued.

When it passes through space battleships, the positions it passes through are all fuel chambers as calculated, so when the nuclear fuel passes through, the ultra-high temperature of the propulsion halo triggers nuclear fusion reactions, and the fireballs of thermonuclear explosions are fired. After the impact point appeared, it expanded rapidly, and the entire fleet was illuminated by strong light.

The water drop attack continued, penetrating one space army warship after another at intervals of less than a second.The lights and shadows of explosions are everywhere, and the hulls of ships that have been completely melted by ultra-high temperature are everywhere. The molten metal turns into red liquid, and under the action of the explosive force, it flies away in space without resistance. The disciple is using the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle and Peacock Feather!
More than a minute later, all the 3 battleships in the second row were also destroyed, and then the water droplets made another sharp turn, and the third row also turned into fireworks after [-] minutes. .

Then came the fourth and fifth battleships that were no longer in formation...

At this time, the water droplets continued to attack the warships that had begun to evacuate, and the speed of destruction slowed down, but warships were destroyed in nuclear explosions every moment. If Moody saw this scene, he might admire it. Explosions are art. !

"Drops! The attack is a drop!" As time went on, people finally knew that it was a drop that attacked them.

"Strawberry NiM's water drops! Ah... Fuck!!!" shouted a certain Zaun gunner on the surviving battleship.

"Damn the three-body trash!"

The gamma-ray laser fired by the Zaun Gunner's shipboard laser weapon just made a perfect refraction on the surface of the water droplet, and the water droplet was not damaged.

The gunner who scolded the Trisolarans as rubbish fired a precise kinetic energy weapon. The electromagnetic kinetic energy weapon, that is, the metal bullet fired by the electromagnetic gun, has huge destructive power, but the huge kinetic energy brought by its high speed can only slightly slow down the speed of water droplets.
