Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 687
Fifty light seconds, even for sophons that have already started to slow down, it only takes a few minutes to arrive, and what awaits them is an overwhelming net. Controllable high-energy particles can already be created by the macroscopic world at this scale. Quite affected.

If the huge net in front of me is suddenly assembled, it can become a strong interaction material with a radius of [-] meters, and with sufficient energy, it can even be accelerated to the speed of light in a very short time.

But now they are always ready to gather at the position where the sophon is found, and form the strong interaction material to swallow the sophon.

In order to ensure that the process of capturing and destroying is smooth enough, Lan Nuo asked the grid and Sophon to move in the same direction this time, reducing the relative speed between the two as much as possible.

In this way, when facing the oncoming sophon, you can have enough reaction time to operate. After all, it is the people and the program that perform the operation, which requires a certain reaction time.

And if they stagger with each other at a relative speed close to the speed of light, it is impossible for any person or program to react with their tiny size and stagger time, even calculated in Planck time.

Therefore, after the big net advances for a certain distance, it starts to retreat in the direction of the four-dimensional space in the opposite direction, gradually accelerating and maintaining a speed slightly slower than Sophon, waiting for the other party to crash into its own net.

Observing from a high-dimensional perspective, the number of sophons is only ten. Correspondingly, there are more than 5 secondary sophons. This is actually similar to the configuration on the earth. Under this order of magnitude, as long as the fleet is searched, It can delay the fleet for several years.And this period of time is completely enough to launch enough secondary sophons to make up for the consumption of the interference accelerator during this process.

The number of targets is only ten, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the task. The overwhelming net begins to shrink. In the three-dimensional world, it is difficult to observe a proton, let alone capture and destroy it.

But from a high-dimensional perspective, the magnification of more than 20 orders of magnitude of sophons is already very obvious in the three-dimensional world. The huge net begins to shrink into ten small nets, and the distance between high-energy particles is also greatly reduced.

More than half of them are controlled by Lan Nuo himself, and the remaining half are also controlled by the cooperation of Nirvana. Everyone present can't help sweating their foreheads at this moment, and they must complete the destruction of Sophon almost at the same instant. , if the Trisolarans discover the controllable high-energy particles they use, they will probably think of the controllable high-energy particles that will appear on the earth in the future.

"There are still 15 seconds for the collision to start! The grid is deformed!" At the same time as Lan Nuo gave the order, he had already controlled his own controllable high-energy particles, and arranged them in a different formation from the previous grid.

Since it is to destroy Sophon, it is natural to use the formation that makes him have nowhere to escape, that is, the spherical shape.

Previously, the grid moved forward in a circle on the plane, but as it approached the target, the circle began to deform gradually, like a pocket that closed forward, wrapping Sophon inside.

After wrapping, the sphere composed of controllable high-energy particles is also shrinking continuously.

Let the particles around this ball gradually increase, and it will gradually become difficult to escape. The ten sophons have all been shrouded in such a prison, and it can be said that there is almost no chance of escape.

As Lan Nuo gave the order to finally capture, the ten spheres shrank rapidly.From the original diameter of several thousand meters, it shrank to less than one meter in diameter in an instant.

At this moment, the encircling circle was originally transparent and invisible.It suddenly turned into silver fully reflective spheres.

Those are spheres made of strongly interacting materials. Even sophons cannot leave within such spherical shells.Theoretically, a sophon can enter a closed three-dimensional space, but in the final analysis, it is not using high dimensions, but itself is too small, and the distance between atoms is enough for him to easily penetrate.

But now the protons are tightly attached to each other, and there is no gap for him to escape.

At the same time, in the ten wrapped spheres, the controllable high-energy particles released the antimatter they carried, aiming at the sophon trapped in the center.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, the annihilation happened instantly inside the sphere, there was no explosion, just in an instant, the sophon lost all its structure, and then transformed into energy.

As for the huge energy produced by the mutual annihilation of matter and antimatter, it cannot be seen here.On the one hand, the antimatter that humans can produce now is really too little. On the other hand, the mass of sophons is also too small, and the energy transformed after colliding with antimatter is not even enough for people to see an electric spark.

The trap that has been carefully prepared for several months, when it really works, is actually only a moment.

……

At the same time, the news of Sophon's collective loss of contact on the Trisolaran planet was sent back.

"Have you lost contact again? This time they lost contact at the same time?" The trisolaran scientist frowned: "It's another sophon blind spot, and this time it appeared so close to the earth. It seems that the universe is far bigger than ours." It's more crowded than expected."

Another Trisolaris scientist put forward a hypothesis that made them uneasy: "If it is true that other aliens destroyed our sophons, would they find our location? Find our sophons from the sophons. information."

"It's very difficult. If we want to do this, the technology must be at least a few levels higher than ours, even a technology that we can hardly imagine now. If I have to say it, I'm actually worried about humans." In the laboratory One of the most respected scientists sighed.

"You mean... humans destroyed our sophons?"

The Trisolaran scientist shook his head: "Although this possibility is not zero, the possibility of a fleet suspended in space suddenly exploding in technology and technology overtaking us is really too small, so small that it is almost unnecessary to consider .

When I said that I am worried about human beings, I am saying that I am worried that human beings have exposed the position of the earth. We have communicated with the earth, and even communicated quite frequently. If there is an alien civilization with advanced technology, it does not even need to be more advanced than us. If it is developed, it will be able to perceive the communication between us, and then discover our location along with it.

If aliens can destroy our sophons, they will definitely be able to discover the human fleet, so it is easy to obtain the location of the earth from the fleet.

That's what worries me the most.Even if human beings do not deter the dark forest, the galaxy we are in is no longer safe. Prepare to evacuate, take away as much resources as possible on our planet, and then leave this cradle, and go to the depths of the universe to find the real solution that can allow us to spend money. place of leaves. "

The Trisolarans never doubted that all of this was done by humans. After all, the previous sophons were destroyed almost at the same time. For the Trisolarans, it was even crushed by technology. Hurry up, it's not possible to suppress the Trisolarans in such a short time, so all the blame has been pinned on the unknown aliens.

Because of this, the dispatch of sophons from that star area was stopped.Trisolarans are also afraid.They are afraid that their planetary position will be exposed.I am afraid that my weak nature among the major civilizations in the universe will be exposed.

If you continue to send Sophon, maybe you will be captured by aliens and extract important information about the Trisolarans.

And the production base located in the four-dimensional space is completely safe, and will no longer be discovered by the Trisolarans.

Nowadays, the scale of the production base is getting bigger and bigger, and it has expanded from the three-dimensional world to the four-dimensional world. After adding one more coordinate axis, the production line that can be placed is increased geometrically, powered by ecological rollers, and remote control Regulation, the daily output can already be calculated in grams, and perhaps in the first half of the year, the output can be calculated in kilograms.

However, this is still only temporarily powerful. After observation, they can already confirm that the four-dimensional space is constantly shrinking. Although it is not as exaggerated as shrinking at the speed of light, it only takes about 300 years.This space will completely dry up and disappear. At that time, human beings will have to find their own way to produce such controllable high-energy particles, or find other four-dimensional spaces, but this depends on luck.

While organizing production, Lan Nuo has never forgotten to explore this kind of area. There is life and even civilization in the four-dimensional space. Although this is a small puddle that is about to dry up, according to the original book According to the description, there is at least one individual of the fourth-dimensional civilization living here.

The fleet sent a large number of controllable high-energy particles to search in this four-dimensional space, but their efficiency is really not high. It is like a two-dimensional line. If you sweep it on a two-dimensional plane, you can It is enough to scan the two-dimensional world thoroughly, but if you want to scan a single line in the three-dimensional world, you have to scan it countless times. Even so, all you can get are only sliced ​​images.

In order to increase the efficiency of the search, the controllable high-energy particles had to be arranged into a huge cube, a huge cube with a side length of hundreds of astronomical units, repeatedly jumping horizontally on the fourth coordinate axis.Expand your search a little bit.

In fact, they don't know what they are searching for, and more often they think they are searching for the four-dimensional wreckage in this cosmic space, and then transform it into substances that they can use.

And when they gradually found this four-dimensional space, which was theoretically at the center, a shocking scene appeared.

Although they are in the four-dimensional space, they are used to seeing three-dimensional things in the four-dimensional space. Except for those "minerals", they have never really seen four-dimensional matter.

Until they saw the behemoth in front of them, in the field of vision fed back by the controllable high-energy particles, what they saw was a circular building made of regular geometric figures, which was full of beauty in mathematics.

If this is a three-dimensional object, then Sophon only needs to change the angle slightly to enter its side and directly see the details inside him.

However, the one in front of me is obviously different. When the observer adjusts the angle, the building they see is like a kaleidoscope, and it begins to change rapidly. It is still a beautiful geometric structure, as if it was constructed by humans in a three-dimensional world. Such buildings, viewed from any angle, present regular geometric figures.

Civilizations in four dimensions, the buildings built obviously look like this, projected into the three-dimensional world, they are all beautiful geometric shapes at any time.

This time, it is obviously impossible to directly enter the interior of the building from a different angle. The buildings built by the four-dimensional people are naturally airtight in the four-dimensional space.

Otherwise, it is as if human beings have drawn a box on the ground, saying that this is their own house, which is obviously impossible.

However, although this space is airtight, controllable high-energy particles can penetrate through it. As long as they put away their four-dimensional expansion, they can restore the volume of microscopic particles here. In this case, even if it is an airtight space, there is no special design. Shielding can also be penetrated by them.

Facts have proved that the scientists' guess is correct. The interior of this four-dimensional building is hollow, and here they observed a more complex three-dimensional structure. No matter from any angle, the shape of this three-dimensional structure is changing. Yes, even if the observation angle is kept constant, his shape is constantly changing, and this change is irregular.

……

On the scientific research spacecraft, the scientists were very excited watching this scene: "This must be a four-dimensional creature, and even he may not only be a creature, but also a member of a four-dimensional civilization. The previous building is full of geometric beauty. It is built by civilization.

It's a pity that the gap between their bodies and our sense of space is too great, and we have no way to understand what kind of structure his body is. "

Lan Nuo didn't intervene, but was meditating. He could actually see some of it. For him, if he only understood the image of the other party in the four-dimensional space, the mathematical model he had constructed for the thinking space was already enough. He can barely do it, and now he is working hard to make up the image of the other party.

"Let's try to communicate. We are so close to each other. Maybe he has discovered us. Even if the other party shows hostility, we retreat directly to the three-dimensional space. What the other party can do is minimal interference." Blue Nuo's decisive proposal this time surprised the scientists at the scene.

After all, they are still considering whether the four-dimensional creatures in front of them are dangerous?The Trisolarans have brought a huge psychological shadow to human beings, and aliens have always had the worst malicious speculations.

Lan Nuo, because he has read the original book, knows very well that the remaining thinking creature here is very gentle.

"It's okay to try to communicate with him, but how should we make him understand what we said?" Someone couldn't help asking.
