Chapter 208 Bai ICE’s despair

People are also aware of the fact that the fifty water droplets of Trisolaris were emitted two centuries ago, but humans have only now truly understood their meaning.

This is certainly because the behavior of the Trisolaran civilization is too implicit, but it also reflects the mentality of human beings distorted by their own bloody history.

Therefore, in the online referendum, the support rate of the Sunshine Project has increased sharply, and more and more people are leaning towards the strong survival plan and even accepting Trisolarans into the human world.

The Star Alliance accelerated preparations for peace negotiations, and the two nations began to jointly form a human delegation to prepare for negotiations with the Trisolarans.

All of this happened within a day after the water droplet was captured, and what excited people most was not the fact before them, but the bright future that had already taken shape.

When the advanced science and technology of the Trisolaran civilization are combined with the amazing industrial production capacity of human civilization, what kind of dream paradise will the solar system become?

……..

The expedition team consists of four people. In addition to Bai ICE and Lin XT, there are also two officers from the United Earth Fleet and the Solar System Defense Front, a major and a lieutenant colonel respectively.

Soon the shuttle boat sailed out of the Quantum and completed docking with the Mantis thousands of kilometers away.

Since the Mantis is an unmanned spacecraft and there is no air in the cabin, all four members of the expedition team put on light space suits. After receiving instructions from the fleet, they fished through the docking hatch and entered the Mantis in weightlessness.

"Like a drop of Virgin Mary's tears." Lin XT praised.

Her words spread out from the Mantis at the speed of light, first in the fleet, and then in the entire human world.

In the expedition team, except for Bai ICE, the three people are ordinary people. Due to unexpected opportunities, they are at the center of this peak moment in the history of civilization.

Facing the water droplets at such a close distance, they all had a common feeling: the strangeness of that distant world disappeared and was replaced by a strong desire to identify.

Yes, in this cold and vast universe, being the same carbon-based life is itself a kind of fate, a fate that may take billions of years to cultivate. This fate allows people to feel a love that spans time and space.

Now the water drop makes them feel this kind of love, and any gap of hostility can be bridged in this kind of love.

Lin XT's eyes were filled with tears. Soon there will be more than 270 billion people in the solar system with tears in their eyes like hers.

However, Bai ICE looked on with cold eyes, and then a lieutenant colonel signaled to him: "Professor Bai, we don't have much time, you should touch the water droplets first."

Bai ICE slowly floated in front of the water drop and put a hand on its surface. He could only touch it with gloves to prevent frostbite from the absolute zero-degree mirror.

Then, the three officers also began to touch the water drops.

"It looks too fragile. I'm really afraid of breaking it." Lin XT whispered.

"I can't feel any friction." The lieutenant colonel said in surprise: "The surface is too smooth."

"So how smooth can it be?" Bai ICE asked curiously.

Although he is a triumphalist, he also knows that the technology of the Trisolaran civilization is still much more advanced than humans.

The smoothness of the material can well reflect the finishing ability of a civilization, which in turn reflects the industrial strength and scientific level of the civilization.

In order to answer this question, Lin XT took out a cylindrical instrument from the pocket of his spacesuit, which was a microscope.

She touched the surface of the water with her lens, and she could see a magnified image of the surface on a small display screen attached to the instrument.

What is displayed on the screen is still a smooth mirror surface.

What is the magnification? Bai ICE asked.

"One hundred times." Lin XT pointed to a number in the corner of the microscope display screen, and at the same time adjusted the magnification to one thousand times.

The enlarged surface is still a smooth mirror surface.

"Is your thing broken?" the lieutenant colonel frowned.

Lin XT picked up the microscope from the water droplet and placed it on the mask of his space suit.

The other three people came over to look at the display screen and saw the surface of the mask magnified a thousand times. The surface of the flesh suit that looked as smooth as water droplets became as rough as a rocky beach on the screen.

Lin XT repositioned the microscope on the surface of the water droplet, and a smooth mirror surface appeared on the display screen again, which was no different from the surrounding unmagnified surface.

"Add the multiplier ten times more, and I won't believe it." Bai ICE demanded.

This exceeded the ability of optical magnification. Lin XT performed a series of operations and switched the microscope from optical mode to electron tunneling microscopy mode. The magnification is now 10,000 times.

The surface after magnification is still a smooth mirror surface. The smoothest surface that can be processed by human technology only has its roughness exposed after being magnified thousands of times.

"Fuck!" Bai ICE said with cold sweat: "This is impossible, increase the multiplier ten times! I don't believe it!"

Although several officers felt a little baffled by Bai ICE's strange reaction, they still obeyed.

When it was finally adjusted to 10 million times, what was displayed on the screen was still a smooth mirror surface, with no sign of roughness visible, and its smoothness was no different from the surrounding surface that had not been magnified.

In ancient times, there was a novel called "2001: A Space Odyssey", which described a black obelisk left by an alien super civilization on the moon.

The observer used an ordinary ruler to measure the three sides of the obelisk, and the ratio of their lengths was 1:4:9.

No matter what more precise measurement method is used in the future, the highest precision of measurement technology on earth has been exhausted, and the ratio of the three sides of the obelisk is still accurate 1:4:9, without any error.

At this time, mankind encountered such a black obelisk, and then Bai ICE's face gradually became distorted. At this moment, all the optimism of victory was thrown out of the sky.

He knew that such a detail revealed a cruel fact, that is, it is much easier for Trisolarans to crush modern humans than it is for humans to crush cockroaches.

Fortunately, I still think that human beings have the ability to fight against the Trisolarans. This kind of thinking is extremely naive. I used to be so mentally retarded that I could have such a stupid idea.

"Fuck you, this is not fucking true!" Bai ICE cursed desperately and began to rummage through the cabinets for things, and then he found a geological hammer.

"Professor, are you feeling unwell?" Looking at Bai ICE who was almost crazy, the lieutenant colonel asked worriedly.

Bai ICE ignored him, but used the geological hammer to hit the water droplets crazily. After that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's see if there is any change in the place I just hit?"

Someone quickly placed the microscope at that location, and the water droplets were still intact.

Is there really an absolutely smooth surface? Lin XT exclaimed.

"Yes." Bai ICE said with a collapsed face: "The surface of a neutron star is almost absolutely smooth."

"But the mass of this thing is normal. The mass of neutron star material is much greater than this." The lieutenant colonel wondered.

"Then there is only one explanation." Bai ICE turned his head inch by inch and said: "The molecules of this thing are dead because of the energy-gathering ring, and there is no vibration at all."

"That's why it's at absolute zero, and there's only one force that can do that, and that's the strong interaction."

"This is impossible," the lieutenant colonel exclaimed, "Isn't this the same as shooting a bow and arrow to the moon?"

"They shot their bows and arrows at the moon. The Virgin's Tears... Haha, this thing is at least a hundred times harder than the hardest material in the solar system."

"Any material in the entire solar system is as fragile as paper in front of it. It can pass through the earth like a bullet through cheese without any damage to the surface." Bai ICE said calmly.

Just like a death row prisoner who is as calm as a second before his thoughts are executed.

"Then why did the Trisolarans send this thing?" the lieutenant colonel blurted out.

"Who knows? Maybe it is really a messenger, but it brings another message to mankind." After Bai ICE hesitated for a moment, he still told the truth: "What does destroying you have to do with you?"

Just as hundreds of millions of people in the fleet were still chewing on the meaning of this sentence, Bai ICE suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Run! If you don't run, you'll have no chance!"
