The Wandering Planet

After rectifying the three-body civilization that came to the solar system, the Wandering Earth can finally come to take stock of this harvest.

The first is of course the Sophon Project. Now it is not only the giant particle accelerator that is the base of the Sophon Project, but also all relevant personnel are in the hands of the Wandering Earth.

The Science Consul of the Trisolaran civilization was awakened by the wandering earth, and then asked him all the details about the Sophon Project, which was handed over to the Central Academy of Sciences for further research.

Due to the transparent thinking of the Trisolarans, whenever they have questions, they will answer them, and they will talk about everything they know, and there is no better teacher than this.

The Central Academy of Sciences has improved the neural implants so that humans can also receive the brain waves emitted by Trisolarans, which makes learning more efficient and as easy as copying files from a USB flash drive to a computer.

Soon the Wandering Earth has mastered all related technologies of the Sophon Project, from the two-dimensional expansion of protons to large-scale circuit etching, and even the cognition of the three-body civilization to the microscopic world dimension, all of which have become part of the Wandering Earth's technology.

This is why the Wandering Earth took so much effort to bring the entire Trisolaran civilization to the solar system.

Compared with the cold giant particle accelerator and experimental data, the Trisolaran scientists who have mastered these technologies are invaluable treasures. Finding a way to learn these technologies from them will immediately raise the technological level of the wandering earth to a new level.

Of course, not only sophons, another sharp weapon of the Trisolaran civilization - water droplets, of course, has also become the pocket of the wandering earth.

The force field generated by the strong interaction force of water droplets, and the vacuum Valsex electric field vortex ring will all become the upgraded components of the new generation of warships on the wandering earth.

The magical sharp-angle steering ability and the strong interaction force shell are no longer the patent of water droplets.

Even including the curvature engine developed by the technological explosion of the three-body civilization. Although the wandering earth has long had super-light technology, the curvature drive engine still has its own unique features.

The space in this universe is not flat, but has curvature.

If the universe as a whole is imagined as a large membrane, the surface of this membrane is curved, and the whole membrane may even be a closed soap bubble.

Although parts of the membrane appear planar, spatial curvature is ubiquitous.

If a part of the space behind it can be flattened in some way to reduce its curvature, then the spaceship will be pulled by the space with greater curvature in front, which is curvature drive.

It is impossible for the curvature drive to reach the destination instantly like a space warp,

But it is possible to make the spacecraft travel at a speed infinitely close to the speed of light.

This is the speed of light navigation technology of the Trisolaran civilization, which greatly shortens the time for the Trisolaran fleet to reach the solar system.

However, there is a problem with this, that is, the curvature drive will leave a clear trail.

The structure of space is changed, and if the same second curvature-driven spaceship is placed within the track range of the first spaceship, it will be difficult to move a single step.

In track space, more powerful curvature engines must be used.

At this time, the space curvature drive can still make the spacecraft reach the maximum speed in the track space, but this speed is much lower than the maximum speed achieved during the first voyage.

In other words, in the track space, the speed of light in vacuum decreases.

If the space curvature is continuously used to drive, the vacuum light speed in the track space will be reduced to an unbelievable level.

Theoretically, the speed of light can be reduced to zero, but in fact, the lowest speed of light achieved by the Trisolaran civilization is 16.7 kilometers per second.

The low-speed light space created in this way is called the black area.

Just like a black hole from which even light cannot escape, once light enters the black area, the speed will suddenly drop from 300,000 km/s to 16.7 km/s, like a quagmire that cannot escape, from as fast as lightning Becoming slow as a snail.

This point is more interesting to the Central Academy of Sciences than traveling at the speed of light. Although it seems that the black area is a side effect of the space curvature drive, it may be the biggest effect.

"What are you going to use it for?" Qiao Lu asked Zhang Bin.

"Weapon." Zhang Bin replied, "A super weapon that can completely lock up a civilization more than Sophon, and it is almost impossible to break through."

Qiao Lv asked with great interest: "How do you say?"

"First of all, the black area will not disappear in a short time. We can only wait for the natural changes in the curvature of the universe to repair it, but this is like cutting down a forest and then waiting for it to grow back by itself. It takes time, and it can't be completed without hundreds of millions of years."

The birth of the earth is only 4.5 billion years ago, and the Big Bang happened 13.8 billion years ago. If it took hundreds of millions of years, it would not be enough for a civilization to rise and fall many times.

"Then what?"

"Then if we build more than a thousand curvature-driven spaceships, taking the solar system as an example, they accelerate radially to the speed of light in different directions with the sun as the center, and the tracks they generate are connected into one in the diffusion, forming a space covering the entire solar system. The black field, the speed of light in this black field is 16.7 kilometers per second, what will happen?"

Human beings are trapped in the black field, it can be said that they are in a black hole with a low speed of light.

Since the speed of light becomes too slow, not to mention the development of civilization, even daily communication will become extremely difficult.

For example, as the basis of modern communication, the speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is equal to the speed of light in a vacuum.

If the speed of light is reduced to 16.7 kilometers per second, then there will be a delay of nearly a full 1,000 seconds when making a call from China to the United States on the earth, and there is no way to make a normal call at all.

What's more, the speed of light in vacuum is lower than the third cosmic speed, which means that even the light cannot escape from the black area covering the solar system, and it becomes a real black hole.

Human civilization trapped in a black hole is chilling to think about.

"You mean, we can use this method to deal with a certain civilization?" Qiao Li asked.

Zhang Bin replied: "If there are enough curvature-driven spaceships, of course we can do this. After taking over the space dock of the Trisolaran civilization, we can already mass-produce such curvature-driven spaceships, and the construction is just like making dumplings. If If it is just to block a planet, a hundred curvature-driven spaceships are more than enough, and it is completely possible to turn a civilized planet into a low-light-speed black hole isolated from the world."

This is really terrifying, compared to Sophon's technological blockade, it seems insignificant.

At this time, Zhang Bin changed the subject: "But before we consider using this technology on the enemy, we must first consider whether to use it on ourselves, because there is another meaning of using the black field to block the entire galaxy, which can be What we need now."

"What is it?"

"Cosmic Security Statement."
