Chapter 211 Sophon Blind Spot
A blue lotus and a purple lotus, one in space, are ahead of the human fleet, heading towards the edge of the solar system at 10% the speed of light towards their target giant ring.

"You've gone off course." The blue lotus trembled slightly.

"Don't worry about me, go find the dinosaurs." The purple lotus was getting further and further away from the blue lotus.

"Didn't the main body tell us to act together?"

"Do we really need to work together to deal with a few big dinosaurs? I'll go straight to the root of the problem; I've been wanting to do that for a long time."

The purple lotus completely disappeared into the dark starry sky, leaving not a trace of light, and continued to disappear in the direction it believed it to be.

In just a few dozen seconds, it had already traveled millions of kilometers away from the blue lotus.

Ignoring distance and the speed of light, the blue lotus continued speaking to the purple lotus: "So, where are you going?"

"The Trisolaran system." The purple lotus tossed out a petal, which circled around and quickly disappeared into the body of the cyan lotus: "Unless the main body is unsealed, our escape speed will be limited to 10% of the speed of light. I will take 40 years to fly to the Trisolaran system and then destroy the entire Trisolaran civilization. Wait for my good news."

The blue lotus flashed with blue light and transformed into the appearance of Shan Qing. He shouted one last time in the direction of the purple lotus: "Be careful. Don't underestimate the power of technology. Neither you nor I have the ability to destroy Zhi Zi. If you die, your physical strength will be severely damaged."

The purple lotus did not reply; it had vanished without a trace, and the benevolent corpse had completely lost all trace of the malevolent corpse.

"Sigh, what an impatient fellow."

Shan Qing cast an invisibility spell and then an electromagnetic wave reflection-free spell to ensure that the dinosaur could not detect him through electromagnetic wave radar reflection or optical observation. Then he continued to fly towards the increasingly approaching Devouring Giant Ring.

What takes human fleets six months to voyage, he can do in just 18 days.

Little dinosaur, how dare you betray the Poyang civilization! You're doomed!

Three body galaxy.

The Trisolaran leader is having a face-to-face exchange with the scientific governor. Their thought membranes are displaying content alternately. Of course, this Trisolaran leader and scientific governor have no relation to the Trisolaran leader and scientific governor from 200 Earth years ago.

Behind them lies a chaotic era of upheaval. After the old era was overthrown, they are now a new generation of Trisolaran civilization, as well as a new generation of Trisolaran leaders and scientific administrators.

Currently, these two Trisolarans have been talking here for quite some time.

The Führer: "Another sophon has entered the sophon blind zone and disappeared?"

Scientific Governor: "Yes, this is the third time this year. We have already lost three sophons in the process of devouring the empire."

The leader said: "Based on the known technological reserves of the Devouring Empire, their exploration of the microscopic world is very weak, and they should not have the ability to shield sophons or create sophon blind spots."

The sophon blind zone is a scientific concept that exists only in the Trisolaran universe. Since sophons are located at the submicroscopic level and transmit information over long distances through quantum entanglement, it is almost impossible to sever the quantum entanglement between sophons under normal circumstances.

However, the sophon blind zone does exist. Among the second batch of sophons launched from the Trisolaran system to Earth, one sophon entered the sophon blind zone, causing the quantum entanglement effect to be severed and resulting in a complete loss of contact.

Although the principle of the sophon blind zone is unknown, the Trisolarans have also accidentally lost two sophons in the past 200 Earth years while exploring other universes outside the solar system, both of which were caused by the existence of the sophon blind zone.

But this is, after all, a rare occurrence, happening only three times in the past 200 Earth years.

However, within the Devouring Empire, the phenomenon of three instances of sophons losing contact occurred within a single Earth year, which is clearly abnormal. The Scientific Administrator stated, "Your Majesty, the sophon blind spot is fundamentally different from the method used by the super-individual Luo Qing to shatter sophons."

The former refers to the sudden loss of contact with Zhizi without any warning or discovery.

The latter approach involves violently shattering hydrogen nuclei and using the quark confinement effect to destroy our sophons. This is within our scientific understanding, but the sophon blind spot… the reason remains unknown. We don't even know what scientific principle can sever quantum entanglement; at least, the Trisolaran civilization couldn't do it.

The leader said, "Is it possible that the Devouring Empire is not as weak as it seems on the surface, and that they have hidden technology? After all, it is an ancient empire that has been wandering for 6500 million years."

The Scientific Administrator: "We cannot rule out this possibility, but at least on the surface, the Devouring Empire's technology is merely refined at the atomic level. According to the information that the Sophon has already obtained, the Devouring Empire is particularly adept at using molecular disintegration technology to break down macroscopic substances such as rocks into basic elements. This technology relies on the precise control of nuclear fission chain reactions, and its technological level is higher than that of humans, and even to some extent higher than that of the Trisolaran civilization."

However, molecular dismantling technology is still within the Trisolaran civilization's comprehension. In contrast, humanity's underestimation of the Devouring Empire will cause them some setbacks in the upcoming battle to defend the solar system. The Devouring Fleet and the Devouring Giant Ring are not like soldier ants and queen ants, but rather like an elephant and bacteria. Even if the Devouring Fleet is completely destroyed by the solar system fleet, that elephant can still charge towards the solar system.

The leader said, “We have already provided assistance to humanity, and I have indeed not deceived humanity. A large number of Trisolarans have emerged in the Trisolaran world who have a deep longing and sympathy for Earth. If, with our help, humanity still cannot defeat the Devouring Empire, then everything will have to wait until the Trisolaran fleet arrives in the solar system and resolve itself.”

Science Administrator: "But the sophon blind spot is indeed a hidden danger, which worries me."

The Führer: "So you still believe there's a connection between the Sophon Blind Spot and the Devouring Empire?"

Scientific Governor: "Your Majesty, it is difficult for me to give a precise answer. Every civilization has its own unique characteristics of development. Perhaps the Devouring Empire does possess unique technologies that have not been discovered by the Sophon. After all, the Sophon is not omnipotent."

The leader seemed somewhat worried: "How far is the Strong Interaction Probe from the solar system?"

"There are still 15000 astronomical units."

"According to you, ten strong interaction force detectors alone are enough to destroy the Devouring Empire?"

The Science Governor said, "It's very difficult. The 10 strong interaction probes are simply too small. It's almost impossible to completely destroy the Devouring Empire from the inside out. The First Fleet subsequently dispatched five more strong interaction probes, which will take three years to reach the solar system, but they are unlikely to play a decisive role either, as the Devouring Ring is too large."

But Your Majesty, we don't need to destroy the Devouring Empire. We only need to destroy humanity's starships. It would take the Devouring Empire's mothership 100 Earth years to devour any planet. The resource-rich moons in Jupiter's orbit alone would be enough to keep the dinosaurs occupied for two Earth centuries. That would be enough time for the First Fleet to reach Earth.

Both the dinosaurs' ordinary spaceships and the human planetary warships are technologically limited and cannot be used as escape forces. Therefore, we would be safe if we simply destroyed the human starships and locked down the sun.

According to Sophon's observation, although the Devouring Empire knew about the Dark Forest Theory, it did not have the ability to conduct stellar-level broadcasts, nor had it developed gravitational wave communication technology. The first 10 and the subsequent 5 strong interaction force detectors were sufficient to complete this task.

Furthermore, the Trisolaran First Fleet subsequently launched a total of 60 strong interaction probes, which will arrive in the solar system over the next 200 years, ensuring that the situation in the solar system remains under our control, and that neither humanity nor the Devouring Empire can cause any disturbance.

The leader remarked, "Compared to our cautiousness, I really don't know how this audacious civilization has survived for such a long period of time."

The Science Administrator: "Advanced civilizations are relatively rare in the universe, and the dinosaurs were indeed very lucky."

The leader: "Is this really something that can be explained away by just good luck?"

The science governor said, "This is the only explanation we can give."

The head of state remained silent.
