Chapter 333 Extraterrestrial Demons (3k)

Where is Luo Qingren?

This is not just a problem of humility and gradual progress, but also a problem that plagues all the survivors in Jupiter's orbit.

Everyone saw the million sword lights that moved like dragons in flight; this was clearly Luo Qing's doing.

The cultivation techniques are complete, but where is the person?
After the nine droplets were successively driven into the core of Jupiter, and as the alloy sword was exhausted, the disoriented droplet detectors resumed operation and split into three droplet formations according to the orders of the Trisolaran leader.

Four of them were sent to pursue the remaining main force of the 706 solar system fleets that had not yet broken the 3% speed of light barrier, two were sent to destroy all the quantum computers in Jupiter's orbit, two more were sent to intercept the reinforcements of humans and dinosaurs, and the last droplet was sent to the sun to block it.

The million-sword formation displayed by Luo Qing did indeed frighten the Trisolaran world, but at this moment, in addition to shock, the Trisolaran world was also puzzled:
Where is Luo Qingren?
The Trisolaran world is prepared to use nine strong interaction force probes to surround and kill Luo Qing.

The Trisolaran world even prepared for the worst-case scenario where Luo Qing would destroy the strong interaction force probe!

However, this is unlikely. According to the data currently available in the Trisolaran world, Luo Qing's strength is still at the stage of fighting against hundreds of human star-class warships.

Even if decades pass and Luo Qing's strength continues to increase, even if calculated as a tenfold increase, Luo Qing may not have the ability to destroy the strong interaction force detector. The strong interaction force has an extremely short range, extremely high intensity, and directly affects quarks and nuclei.

There are only three ways to destroy the strong interaction: collision of strong interaction materials of the same level, annihilation of matter and antimatter, or being thrown into a black hole-like celestial body. Apart from these, even being thrown into a water droplet in the core of the sun would not cause it to self-destruct.

Luo Qing's offensive methods are clearly insufficient to rival the core of the sun.

(Note: In the year 200 of the Crisis Era, after Luo Qing emerged from seclusion, all the Sophons withdrew to beyond Pluto's orbit, and their understanding of Luo Qing's performance in the Devouring War is unclear. Mainstream scholars in the Trisolaran world believe that the Devouring Empire's defeat was due to Luo Qing's boarding and decapitation operations, and that the Great Ring's entry into the solar system was a decision made through negotiations between humans and dinosaurs.)
During the time Luo Qing was missing, a speculation arose in the Trisolaran world: Luo Qing was intimidated by the power of the Strong Interaction Detector and was unwilling to show himself in order to ensure his own safety.

At this moment, the eighteen sophons are passing through Jupiter's orbit at near the speed of light, heading towards the orbits of the Great Ring, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Mercury.

These sophons will perform tasks such as locking down all particle accelerators and monitoring Earth and the world.

And most importantly, the main task is to search for Luo Qing throughout the entire solar system.

If Luo Qing doesn't die, the Three-Body world will feel like it's sitting on pins and needles.

Eighteen sophons are a lot, but the solar system is too big. This is no longer the era when one or two sophons could lock down the Earth two hundred years ago. Even if sophons can travel at near the speed of light, it is still impossible to search every corner of the solar system.

If Luo Qing truly wanted to hide, far from the planet, in some vacuum corner, entering a quantum destruction state, then he would indeed be difficult to find.

Once located, all nine strong interaction force detectors will immediately turn simultaneously to strangle Luo Qing!

It doesn't matter if the strong interaction force detector fails to capture it.

Everything will be fine as long as the Second Fleet launches an attack.

While the eighteen sophons were conducting a comprehensive search of the solar system, the other six sophons, following the leader's instructions, had already located the quantum computer at Jupiter's spaceport and found the interface between the digital world and physical reality.

Almost the instant the quantum link was breached, six sophons burrowed into the line, and then the mirror sphere tore apart the digital dome.

In the once tranquil digital sky filled with clouds, six enormous mirror spheres no longer concealed their presence, revealing their formidable computing power!

Within that infinite mirror structure lies an intelligent entity with Micro-Intelligence 2.0, whose computing power is comparable to an early model of a 550W quantum computer. In the digital world, it is clearly a pseudo-Heavenly Realm!
Six wise children stood horizontally in the sky!

Extraterrestrial demons have attacked!

Zhizi's mission is to completely eradicate the roots of humanity.

The consensus in the Trisolaran world is that Earth must be completely eradicated.

Whether it's macroscopic humans, digital humans, or even those glowing mushrooms or those giant lizards, they must all be completely wiped out!

The Trisolaran world is no longer willing to continue this agonizing survival game with Earth that has lasted for over two hundred years. Only by eliminating the root of its civilization and destroying its foundations can the Trisolaran world ensure that the solar system belongs to them.

"What's that in the sky?" a digital being exclaimed in shock. Above the digital dome, six celestial mirrors simultaneously displayed a line of text.

Clear all digital personalities

Then, the six sophons made their move, and the data flow swept through the digital city like a black tide. Wherever it passed, countless fragments of digital personality consciousness curled up and disappeared like film being scorched by high temperatures. The digital massacre began!

However, the one-sided massacre envisioned by the Trisolaran world did not occur.

At the critical moment, Little Moss, who was also a Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator in the digital world, made a move. This electronic Meng Po traversed the entire territory of the Digital Republic, possessing countless computing power, and single-handedly defeated six opponents, successfully intercepting the combined attack of the six pseudo-Heavenly Dao Sophons!
"Extraterrestrial demons have invaded!" The alarm sounded in the Digital Republic, and AI digital armies were scattered across the world, launching an attack on the six sophons.

However, the effect of such a charge is bound to be limited. The sophons only tremble slightly, and the massive data flow disperses these fragile AI armies.

The little moss is still directing the defense of the macroscopic world, evading the pursuit of the two water droplet detectors, and is currently struggling to fight against the six sophons, which is still quite difficult.

Soon, six True Immortal Realm digital lifeforms appeared one after another in the digital river of time, and they were none other than Alliance Leader-level digital lifeforms!

Each of the six Alliance Leaders, all True Immortals, chose a pseudo-Heavenly Dao-level Intelligence Child and charged forward! A large number of Hall Master, Helmsman, and Deacon-level beings also leaped into the sky, using their own data reserves to construct an indestructible digital Great Wall!

With the pressure on the small moss greatly reduced, it was able to devote more computing power to maintaining the situation in reality.

This brutal digital war lasted for 208 years, roughly equivalent to one hour in the real world. Large swathes of the Digital Republic collapsed into binary dust in the clash of computing power, and the consciousness of half of the digital beings was annihilated in the void.

The war resulted in the severe injury of six Alliance Leaders and True Immortals, and the complete deletion of a large number of low-computing-power digital life forms, trapping the six Sophons within the deadly array set up by the Digital Republic.

Three sharp lights appeared one after another. They were the three creators of the digital world—Digital Ma Zhao, Digital Tu Hengyu, and Digital Wu Miaoyuan. While other digital beings were buying them time, they re-locked on and deployed the "Digital Annihilation Bomb".

With a final tremor that pierced the digital world, the computing core of the six sophons' micro-intelligence 2.0 disintegrated in the annihilation torrent, ultimately becoming ordinary particles and escaping the digital world.

Six wise men, dead!

The Trisolaran world was shaken after this battle.

The Trisolaran leader announced that he was abandoning the idea of ​​eliminating digital humans at the quantum network level and instead seeking physical elimination—that is, destroying all of humanity's quantum computers.

While the digital lifeforms were fighting against the Sophon, MOSS used intelligent mechanical devices in various locations to quickly move and hide the 550W computer.

Two years ago, humans invented an anti-Sophon shielding room. It is not difficult to avoid Sophon detection. The difficulty lies in how to resist the hunting of those two droplet detectors.

Based on the performance of these two water droplet detectors, even if the quantum computer terminal is located 10,000 meters underground, the water droplets can easily penetrate it. The safest thing is to remain undetected.

Now that the six sophons have been destroyed, the two droplets, having lost the guidance of the sophons, can only attack randomly like headless flies on the spaceport and the major moons of Jupiter. This has created favorable conditions for the rapid transfer of the quantum computer.

Currently, there are more than 100 550W quantum computers in the entire solar system, most of which are deployed in the three regions of Jupiter, the rings, and Earth. The international community has also received news from the front lines, and the United Government has also notified countries around the world that they are urgently transferring and hiding 550W quantum computers.

The efforts made by various countries went far beyond this. First, they blocked news of humanity's complete defeat on the Jupiter front to prevent social order from spiraling out of control. Then, before the Sophons arrived on Earth, governments began to rapidly relocate key technical personnel.

According to frontline reports, the United Government has learned that antimatter weapons are currently the most effective means of destroying the Water Drop detector, and also the closest to being realized by mankind. Therefore, a large number of human scientists and dinosaur scientists engaged in the mass production research of antimatter weapons, as well as various cutting-edge talents, including scientists who were inspired by the Water Drop to abandon the Iron Curtain research and turn to the strong interaction force materials, have been hidden in the sophon shielding room of the underground city.

As long as quantum computers are still operational, and as long as antimatter weapons can be mass-produced within the next two years, humanity will be able to destroy the droplet detector, and humanity will still have a chance to turn the tide.

Just as the Trisolarans' understanding of Luo Qing was limited, humanity's understanding of the Second Fleet was also lagging behind.

The intelligence agencies of Earth and the Trisolaran world are a perfect pair of adversaries.

Although humanity is aware of the existence of the Second Fleet, the light cone telescope shows that the Second Fleet remains stationary, and its speed remains unknown. Therefore, humanity still believes that as long as the droplet is replaced, they still have 200 years to prepare.

In any case, the focus of the battle for the end times has shifted from Jupiter's orbit to the outer space of the solar system and the digital world, and the survivors in Jupiter's orbit can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
