Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 698 Trisolaran’s Millennium Accumulation
In fact, it has been mentioned in the original book that the Trisolarans did not have a technological explosion before they met humans, and it was clearly mentioned that they are moving forward at a constant speed or even at a reduced speed on the road of technological development. , that is to say, the closer it is to the current high-end technology, the longer it will take to be born.

This means that it may have taken thousands of years, or even thousands of years, for the Trisolarans to develop from the period of the human industrial revolution to the current level of technology.

Speculations in this regard have actually been published by scientists long ago, but at that time, human beings were more faced with the practical problems brought about by Trisolarans. response.

And Lan Nuo now understands the words of the Trisolarans, relying on controllable high-energy particles to sneak into their database, read their documents from the hardware level, read their history, and finally intuitively realize the decelerating technology, How long does it take for Trisolarans to grow to the present level.

Trisolarans’ way of calculating time is different from that of human beings. The movement of celestial bodies in the solar system is very regular, so the rotation of the earth makes the sun appear regularly, and the sun is born. And the cycle of the four seasons goes round and round, and after being recorded by people, the year is born.

But all these things don't exist for Trisolarans, they are extremely extravagant, they can only exist in dreams.

Their earliest timing method has actually been reflected in the three-body game, that is, to continuously flip the hourglass, and record the passage of time by recording the number of flips.

Therefore, the timing technology is probably a technology developed by a small number of Trisolarans much faster than humans. The way Trisolarans calculate time is also described in the original book. The translation into human language is probably Trisolaris, that is, their The ancient sages flipped the hourglass once.

This method of timing is too unintuitive for humans, so Lan Nuo will still use the timing method of day, month and year when translating.

He found in historical documents that the landmark event of the Industrial Revolution was the invention of the steam engine. Of course, the Trisolarans simply invented the steam engine, and there was no revolution. Even now, the Trisolarans’ political system is still quite The dictatorship, the consul can decide almost everything, whether everyone is guilty or not, whether they live or die.

At one point, a huge steam train network covering the entire surface of the planet was even established, and the steam pipes were connected to thousands of households like computers. Mechanics once became the most cutting-edge subject on the entire Trisolaran planet.

Lan Nuo carefully looked through this period of history, and finally found the reason for this phenomenon. It is recorded in the history that an adventurer among the Trisolarans fell into the canyon, but found the lost steam city in the dense jungle. s story.

But everyone is on the verge of death, and the panic caused by the Trisolarans government's repeated dehydration orders finally made the Trisolarans realize that blindly avoiding cannot save their civilization.

There are not many records in the official history of the family history of this Trisolaran adventurer, but it records the impact of this adventurer's discovery. The huge steam city is a relic left by the previous generation of Trisolaran civilization. It brought a lot of advanced technology to the Trisolarans and promoted the development of the Trisolarans steam revolution, but it also led the Trisolarans' technology astray, trying to replicate the lost civilization of the destroyed steam city.

But as the sun shines for longer and longer, the earth has gradually been unable to isolate the high temperature, and the surface has been tested into magma. Even their solar power generation equipment and its high temperature resistance have begun to fail one after another.

The story of this period has also become another far-reaching allusion among the Trisolarans. The general meaning is not to give up a more ambitious future just because of the small profits in front of you.

Next, although the technology of the Trisolarans is decelerating, the construction of infrastructure is advancing steadily, entering the era of controlling electricity. A device that absorbs solar energy and converts it into electricity without being melted by the sun.

After finally establishing a prosperous civilization and connecting all places with roads, the era of chaos came.A large number of people had to be dehydrated and transported to underground storage in dry warehouses, and a few continued to keep society running.

That is to say, during this process, the accumulation of industrial capabilities of the Trisolarans has increased to a level unimaginable to humans. In fact, the Trisolarans at this stage are only a little more advanced than humans at the beginning of the 21st century, but they have almost destroyed the crust of their own planet. It was hollowed out, and a nine-story dungeon was built under the earth. Each floor almost opened up the entire underground world, almost equivalent to peeling the planet, leaving only huge support pillars to support the earth. The outer crust and other areas are almost completely opened.

In this process, the railways that no one maintains gradually melt, factories burn or freeze, and the resources accumulated by civilization for hundreds of years are wiped out in a short period of time. If it is made into a survival game, it will definitely make the player's blood pressure explode.

Successfully saved the steam age that was on the verge of collapse, entered the era of internal combustion engines, and then entered the age of electric energy. It took 500 years to complete the technological progress during this period, and this time is still more than 300 years from now.

This can be said to be an epic level upgrade for the Trisolarans, so that they also have enough energy in the Chaotic Era to build their underground cities underground.

And from the current underground city network of Trisolarans, we can also see some shadows of the underground city construction process in the past, and this era is also the era that Trisolarans stayed the longest, staying for nearly a thousand years.

The most frightening thing is that the originally safe underground city is also heating up over time.

In fact, if you think about it from another perspective, you can understand that if human beings live on such a chaotic planet, the sun in the sky is like a menopausal goddess, moody, and always brings terrible death. Stars like planets are swallowed by the moody sun. Will human beings still look forward to exploring in space?
On the contrary, it is the thick earth that isolates the high temperature of the sun and the extreme cold of the eternal night again and again, selflessly protecting the budding growth of civilization, regardless of rational factors, from the emotional point of view, the Trisolarans are obviously more interested in the planet. Internally developed and remodeled.

However, the Trisolarans are a highly centralized civilization, and the main body of the civilization can only have one voice, so the Space School with a weaker voice failed. The Trisolarans have carried out the internal development of the planet for thousands of years, and now the Trisolarans’ underground city The system basically took shape at that time.

At the same time, super-long tunnels between cities were built underground to replace the surface railways. Since then, the hot period in the Chaotic Era has become a period of rapid development of Trisolarans.

The progress of science cannot rely on archaeology. The mistakes made by the Trisolarans made Lan Nuo realize this more deeply. He also realized that on the road of scientific development, those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die. , even if human beings can steal the technology of Trisolarans now, they must unswervingly follow the route of independent research and development, otherwise they will never be able to get out of the shadow of Trisolarans, and instead make the monitoring of controllable high-energy particles a constraint. chains.

After the age of steam, the technological development of the Trisolarans has entered a period of rapid development, and this period is also the period when the Trisolarans have a humanistic revolution. The original strict feudal empire ruled after the steam empire gradually declined due to the exhaustion of resources. , had to make a certain compromise to the lower level of the Trisolarans, so the individual had a little more rights, and the Trisolarans whose subjective initiative was mobilized developed another fossil energy that was different from before.

In fact, if there is no Jupiter for the controllable nuclear fusion of human beings, with the increasing demand of human beings for energy, the nuclear materials of the earth will be exhausted very quickly.

After history entered this stage, Trisolaran's technology gradually ushered in a deceleration of development, which was affected by environmental factors and historical factors.

What's interesting is that this generation of Three-Body Civilization did not end the age of steam after that, but entered an era of steampunk, that is, the development of steam technology to its peak.It has developed to the extent that human beings are amazed by it.

And the end of all this will have to wait until 400 years ago, a three-day volley, and that three-day volley lasted for about ten years in the human world. Abundant energy makes the progress of their construction projects unprecedentedly fast.

The Trisolarans chose to develop into the interior of the planet, underground, instead of going into space to find other planets in the galaxy.

Only then did the Trisolarans discover that hiding underground is not absolutely safe. Facing the rising temperature, all the Trisolarans felt the approach of death. Fortunately, before the Trisolarans died on a large scale, , The three-day volley was over, and it was replaced by three flying stars. The cold climate finally saved the Trisolarans, who were almost roasted underground, from the end of the extinction of civilization.

Many people think that it is impossible to avoid the terrible disaster from the three-day volley before that because the shelters they dug are not deep enough. Falling into the sun is also a dead end.

After a round of natural disasters, the technology of Dabensheng that I had built with great difficulty had to start all over again. The blow to the players can be imagined, and the blow to a civilization is even more difficult for people to imagine his horror.

Next, the Trisolarans ushered in a short period of rapid technological development. From 400 years ago to 100 years ago, the Trisolarans mastered nuclear power technology and developed controllable nuclear fusion. , compared to humans, Trisolarans are even more unique in this respect.

And this story has also left a profound impact on the culture of the Trisolarans, and it has become an allusion. Speaking in human language, the general meaning is that deliberately imitating the footprints left by the losers will inevitably lead to failure in the end. .

Although Lan Nuo does not think that freedom and democracy are political correctness, and that all problems can be solved after being free, he must also admit that a rigid social system will suppress a person's creativity and subjective initiative to a considerable extent.

Trisolarans are also extremely fanatical about the ability of underground cities to protect them. After all, it is extremely rare for the astronomical phenomenon that the four-star tandem will tear apart the entire planet. As long as enough underground cities are established and they are connected Together, the Trisolaran civilization can achieve a relatively long period of stable development.

This is also one of the reasons why the technological progress of the three-body planet is gradually slowing down. The time when the steam engine was invented is 320 years ago. The continuous improvement of the steam engine and its growth to the peak performance of the human steam age will cost a lot of money. After 150 years, during this period, classical physics was perfected by generations of Trisolaran scientists, and finally took a prototype.

Frequent close contact with stars makes their nuclear materials extremely rich. Whenever there is a chaotic era or an extremely hot environment, a thick layer of nuclear materials will accumulate on the surface. As long as they are extracted from the soil layer, they can Acquire a never-ending supply of massive amounts of fuel to power your reactor.

On the one hand, this is due to the high degree of centralization of the Trisolarans, which leads to a certain lack of subjective initiative. In fact, the bigger reason is the frequent occurrence of chaos.Let the development of civilization always be hit hard at critical moments.

Because of this, the work enthusiasm of Trisolarans is extremely high, and the construction of underground facilities has become politically correct, and it is also an existence that everyone almost believes in, so that the scientists who were engaged in scientific research at that time were regarded as not doing their jobs properly, and they had solar power generation equipment , Trisolarans no longer need other technologies, and if they have time to study those useless things, it is better to participate in the big construction.

And in this nine-story underground space, the surface area where Trisolarans can live is nine times larger than the surface area of ​​the planet, and on the nine-story surface, their industrial facilities are scattered all over the planet. A large amount of metal elements contained in the magma were extracted by them and became the main source of resources for them to build this underground city, and almost the entire planet was transformed by them.

This is not because of the lack of subjective initiative caused by centralized rule, but because the Trisolarans are too fanatical during this period of time, fanatical about their solar power generation equipment, fanatic about being in the chaotic era, they can finally survive without dehydration .

Even now, human beings have acquired many Trisolaran technologies through the rapid technological explosion, but compared with the Trisolarans 2000 years ago, it is already very good to have one percent of their productivity, as one can imagine , now there are Trisolarans in the 180-story dungeon, how many times is the productivity of humans, and this... is a gap that cannot be bridged by pure technological catch-up. The planet undergoes such an epic transformation.
