Chapter 207 The Gift of Trisolaran Civilization

Bai ICE just glanced at the major, then turned to the captain and asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid that the other party will come into contact with the water droplets in advance, so you sent me up? Why do you have to send someone else?"

"Professor Bai, you are not familiar with the weightless environment. The whole process requires professional assistance, so someone must follow you up." said the lieutenant colonel next to him.

The captain explained: "Professor Bai, there is definitely danger in this trip, but it is not absolute. If the detector is going to self-destruct, it will probably happen during the capture process."

"Two hours after the capture was completed, if no destructive instruments and equipment were used during the investigation, the possibility of its self-destruction should be very small."

In fact, the two countries decided to send people to have direct contact with the detector as soon as possible, and the main purpose was not for inspection.

When the whole world saw the image of the detector for the first time, everyone was intoxicated by its beautiful appearance.

This thing is really beautiful. Although its shape is simple, its shape is exquisite, and every point on the curved surface is just right.

This drop of mercury is full of elegant movement, as if it is dripping endlessly in the cosmic night every moment. It gives people a feeling.

That is, even if a human artist tried all possible shapes of a closed surface smoothly, he still could not find such a shape.

If there really is a dividing line between good and evil in the universe, then it must be on the good side, so human society quickly began to speculate that this thing might not be a detector at all.

Further observation confirmed this speculation to some extent. People first noticed that its surface has an extremely high smoothness and is a total reflection mirror.

Starfleet once used a large number of monitoring equipment to conduct an experiment, irradiating all its surfaces with high-frequency electromagnetic waves of different wavelengths, and measuring the reflectivity of the electromagnetic waves at the same time.

As a result, people were shocked to find that its surface can reflect almost 100% of high-frequency electromagnetic waves including visible light, and no absorption can be observed.

This means that it cannot perform any detection in the high-frequency band. In layman's terms, it is blind.

This self-blind design must have important meaning. According to the most reasonable speculation, it is a token sent from the Trisolaran world to the human world.

Trisolaran uses its defunctionalized design and aesthetic form to express a kind of goodwill and a sincere desire for peace.

So people changed the name of the detector, vividly calling it a water drop, because water is the source of life in both worlds and symbolizes peace.

Public opinion believes that an official delegation from the human community should be sent to contact the droplet, rather than an expedition consisting of a physicist and three ordinary military officers.

However, out of an abundance of caution, Fleet International decided to keep the original plan unchanged.

"Then can't someone else go? Let a girl like this go?" Bai ICE pointed at Lin XT and said.

Lin XT smiled at Bai ICE and said: "Professor Bai, I am the scientific officer on board the Quantum. I am responsible for conducting scientific expeditions out of the ship during the voyage. This is my responsibility, and half of the fleet are girls.

The captain said: "There are three people accompanying you, and the other two are scientific officers sent by the United Earth Fleet and the Solar System Defense Front. They will report to the ship soon.

"Professor Bai, I want to reiterate one point here. According to the resolution of the Interstellar Federation meeting, the first person to directly contact the target must be you, and then they can be allowed to contact."

"Boring." Bai ICE shook his head again and said, "Human beings are always keen on chasing vanity, but don't worry, I will do it. In fact, I just want to take a look."

"What I'm really interested in is the super theory behind these super technologies, but I'm afraid in this life, the quantum body is just a glimpse through the gap."

The captain floated in front of Bai ICE and said to him with concern: "Professor Bai, you can go and rest now. The capture operation will start soon. You must maintain enough energy before setting off for the inspection."

Bai ICE looked up at the captain, and it took him a long time to realize that the meeting would continue after he left.

….

Soon the three major fleets started taking action, and an unmanned spacecraft named Mantis flew cautiously towards the water droplet, preparing for the capture mission.

A thousand kilometers away from the target, the Star Fleet has synchronized with the water droplet in speed. Most of the battleships have turned off their fusion engines and are floating quietly above the abyss of space.

The huge metal hull reflects the faint sunlight, like abandoned space cities, and the entire fleet array is like a silent ancient stone formation.

The 120 million soldiers in Starfleet held their breaths and watched the short journey of the Mantis.

The images seen by the fleet were transmitted through electromagnetic waves at the speed of light to the eyes of 270 billion people throughout the solar system who were also watching with bated breath.

At this time, almost all activities in the human world stopped, the flow of speeding cars among the giant trees disappeared, and the underground metropolis was shrouded in silence.

Even the global Internet of Things, which has been busy for three centuries after its birth, has become empty, and most of the data transmitted comes from Saturn orbit images.

At this time, many people began to envy the people living in Saturn Space City, because they could receive the latest fleet news as soon as possible.

Two hours after the Mantis captured the water droplet, the water droplet did not self-destruct, which finally confirmed people's speculation that if it was really a military probe, it would definitely self-destruct after falling into enemy hands.

Now it can be determined that it is a gift from the Trisolaran world to mankind, a signal of peace sent in an expression that is difficult for humans to understand in this civilization.

The world is rejoicing again, but this time the celebration is not as enthusiastic and forgetful as last time, because the end of the war and the victory of mankind are no longer a surprise.

Taking a step back, even if the upcoming negotiations break down and the war between humans and Trisolarans continues, human civilization will still be the final winner.

The emergence of the Star Fleet in space has given the public an image of the power of mankind. Now human civilization has the confidence to face all kinds of enemies calmly.

The arrival of the water droplets caused subtle changes in people's feelings towards the Trisolaran world. More and more people began to realize that the race that was trekking towards the solar system was a great civilization.

They have experienced more than 200 disasters and survived with incredible tenacity.

They went through all kinds of hardships and crossed the vast space of four light-years, just to find a stable sun and a home where they can continue to live.

Therefore, the public's feelings towards Trisolaris began to shift from original hostility and hatred to sympathy, pity and even admiration.
