Chapter 453 The Annihilation of the Sophons (7k)

When faced with a question from the chairman of the fleet council, Luo Ji did not answer directly, but instead said:
"Without understanding space warfare, it's not easy to rashly launch an intersolar strike. I suggest the fleet first assume that the formation doesn't exist, then apply this war scenario to make the next operational deployment. I will listen throughout and intervene at critical moments."

Luo Ji passed the buck back to the General Staff and added a constraint—assuming the formation did not exist.

After speaking, his spiritual consciousness, which had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, covered the entire conference room, taking in everyone's discussion.

After a moment of deliberation, the group, in cooperation with MOSS, launched a new phase of combat simulation.

Holographic projections filled the room, and 415 trimaran warships appeared at the far end of the room, slowly advancing toward the conference table at a speed of one micrometer per second.

It's like a progress bar.

A subtle sense of oppression thus forms.

The solar system appeared at the center of the conference table, with a yellow sphere in the center and nine planets orbiting around it.
The pixels consisting of 500 star-class warships and 19850 planetary warships also appeared in the solar system. They began to be distributed normally and then quickly gathered in the direction of the second fleet of the Trisolarans, forming seven distinct fleets and deploying them in the orbits of various planets.

Subsequently, within the holographic room, an ecliptic line was formed at approximately every 200 astronomical units, with a total of 10 ecliptic lines appearing between the Second Fleet and the Solar System.

Current distance: 2019 astronomical units

The command headquarters was shrouded in this subtle sense of oppression.

In the upper left corner of all commanders' viewpoints, the control unit of MOSS displayed a line of text.

[Warp Drive], [Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine], [Strong Interaction Force Armor], [Unknown Red Light Protection], [Force Field Tentacles], [Four-Dimensional Space Lines].

It's crystal clear, like a system that has been awakened.

This intelligence was acquired at the cost of one hundred planetary-level warships. MOSS's actions were intended to constantly remind these command commanders that they must base their new operational deployments on the existing intelligence.

First Fleet Commander: "Sigh, it feels like strategies, tactics, and schemes are becoming increasingly useless for interstellar warfare."

Commander-in-Chief Qian Mengjian: "The premise of strategy and tactics is that both sides are on the same level, and space warfare is not ground warfare, there is no complex environment on the ground. Whoever can hit far, accurately, quickly, and penetrating, will win."

The Chief of Operations stated: "With a force field covering a radius of approximately three million kilometers, it can deflect electromagnetic railguns and hydrogen bombs, meaning that kinetic energy strikes will not be effective."

Fourth Fleet Commander: "It's still too slow. Let's change the speed of light from 0.3 times to 0.99 times and see if the Trisolarans can still stop us."

A member of the Science Committee stated, "A 0.99x electromagnetic railgun is impossible, but the latest experimental electromagnetic railgun can already achieve a speed of 0.6C."

Chief of Operations: "It's useless. The limit of electromagnetic orbital technology is right here; at best, it can't break through 0.9C."

Just then, a sudden voice rang out: "I have a question."

Everyone looked up in Luo Ji's direction.

But they found that Luo Ji didn't speak; it was the sword on his table that spoke.

"What's the problem, Comrade Canghaijian?" Qian Mengjian asked.

The spirit of the Canghai Sword said, "I think the fastest human warships can travel is 0.5 times the speed of light, and the most advanced electromagnetic railgun you just mentioned can reach 0.6 times the speed of light. So if you fly your ship at maximum speed and then fire the cannon, wouldn't the electromagnetic railgun projectiles be able to break through 1.1 times the speed of light?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Luo Ji tapped the sword hilt lightly with his fingertips: "If you haven't been to school, don't embarrass yourself in public."

MOSS explained to the Blade & Soul player: "My friend, because the principle of velocity superposition in classical mechanics fails in scenarios approaching the speed of light, we must use the velocity superposition formula of relativism to calculate the speed. The final result can never exceed the speed of light. If we substitute the data of 'the warship is 0.6c relative to the warship and the cannonball is 0.5c relative to the warship,' the calculated speed is 0.846 times the speed of light, which is far from exceeding the speed of light. Even if we superimpose two speeds of 0.99 times the speed of light, the result is at most a little over 0.99 times. It does not reach the speed of light."

After saying that, MOSS displayed a series of complex calculation formulas, which dazzled the spirit of the Canghai Sword.

The spirit of the Canghai Sword: "So that's how it is. What a strange world..."

MOSS asked, "The effects of 'time dilation' and 'length contraction' cause time to slow down and space to shrink in a reference frame moving at sublight speed, preventing the speed of a projectile relative to the universe from exceeding the speed of light limit. Isn't this the case in your world?"

The spirit of the Canghai Sword said, "In our place, time, space, and speed do not interfere with each other, but it seems that they are connected here."

Upon hearing this, the humans present exchanged subtle glances.

The discontinuity of spacetime in classical physics.

It's actually the world of classical physics?
Moss smiled slightly: "This sounds like a fairytale world."

The Canghai Sword had never been to school and couldn't understand what the quantum spirit was saying, but that didn't stop it from thinking that the quantum spirit was incredibly intelligent.

What a beautiful and intelligent spirit!

After managing to gloss over the matter with the Canghai Sword, the topic quickly returned to the present.

The General Staff of Intelligence stated: "When the interceptor fleet was destroyed, it was still 600 million kilometers away from the Second Fleet, farther than the distance between Earth and Mars, yet it was shredded by four-dimensional space lines. This means that the Second Fleet can perform any surgical cut within four astronomical units."

Commander of the Second Fleet of the Solar System: "What is the speed of movement of the four-dimensional spaceline?"

Someone from the Science and Technology Committee replied: "We just had the people in the four-dimensional space research lab on the large ring replicate a 15-kilometer-long four-dimensional space line. The space line is moving at the speed of light."

Commander of the Second Fleet of the Solar System: "The only means of attacking at the speed of light that humanity currently possesses are lasers and particle beams... The threat posed by four-dimensional space lines is significant."

Several fleet commanders fell into deep thought.

Commander-in-Chief Qian Mengjian asked, "What is the scale of the division of the four-dimensional spaceline?"

The chairman of the Science and Technology Committee replied, "According to post-conference testing of the sophon, it is about one millimeter in size."

The fleet's chief of staff exclaimed in amazement, "One millimeter, so fine?"

The chief of operations said, "I won't go into details. This spatial scale is macroscopic, enough to twist a three-dimensional warship into a pretzel. In the face of four-dimensional lines, even the hardest three-dimensional matter is no different. Strong interaction materials are as brittle as foam."

Commander-in-Chief Qian Mengjian: "On the bright side, at least we don't have to worry about the four-dimensional space lines cutting the Earth into pieces."

Chairman of the Science and Technology Commission: "That's true. Even if the scale of four-dimensional space lines were to cut the Earth ten thousand times, the Earth would still be tightly bound together under the influence of gravity, and even earthquakes would not occur."

Commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Solar System: "But the problem is, a one-millimeter cut won't destroy the Earth, but it can cut all the warships... We can't exactly drive the Devouring Ring over there. Only this thing can ignore the cutting of four-dimensional space lines by virtue of its size and its own gravity."

Strategic General Staff: "There's no engine on the ring, so it can't be started. And Luo Qing, the only one who can carry the ring, isn't here either."

Fleet Chief of Staff: "Direct confrontation will not yield any advantages. They can strike at the speed of light, which can extend to four astronomical units. No defense can stop them. The Solar System Fleet must keep its distance from them from now on."

Commander of the Solar System's First Fleet: "Can we replicate the technology of four-dimensional space lines?"

The Science and Technology Commission gave the answer: "Yes, it's not difficult, but it will take some time to weaponize it."

Solar System First Fleet: "How long is 'a little'?"

The Science and Technology Committee member said, "Let me do the math... After all, it takes time to build the equipment for four-dimensional space lines, and it also takes research to control four-dimensional space lines. Not to mention that we need to miniaturize these systems and fit them into spacecraft, and we also need to do a good job in energy supply and the balance between four-dimensional and three-dimensional space... In fifty years, we will be able to produce a complete four-dimensional line weapon system."

The commander of the Solar System's First Fleet didn't speak, but instead rubbed his head, somewhat speechless.

Commander of the Sixth Fleet of the Solar System: "Technological development is too fast. There are too many technologies that can be derived from it that simply cannot keep up. For example, four-dimensional space lines. I know that four-dimensional experts have long proposed the weaponization of four-dimensional lines, but there is no extra research power to light up this technology tree."

Someone in the corner said, "Time, time is the scarcest thing. If only we had time..."

The chairman of the fleet council tapped the table: "Let's not bring up 'what ifs' anymore, let's discuss something else."

Commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Solar System: "Did anyone notice that when the gamma-ray burst attacked, all 415 warships of the Second Fleet of the Trisolarans emitted a red glow in unison?"

Strategic General Staff: "We have all noticed that this is a very obvious defensive action, which further confirms that the Second Fleet's pure armor protection is unable to withstand gamma-ray bursts. However, as for what this red light is, we cannot verify it for the time being, and can only speculate that it is some kind of energy protection method."

Strategic General Staff: "Currently, antimatter bullets remain the only attack method that has the potential to penetrate the Second Fleet's defenses."

Commander of the Second Solar System Fleet: "The method of using electromagnetic railguns to carry antimatter bullets won't work. Can we launch the antimatter bullets directly?"

Commander-in-Chief Qian Mengjian: "Antimatter also has mass and is also affected by force field tentacles. It's not like we can defeat the enemy just by taking off our pants."

The commander of the Second Fleet of the Solar System remained silent, embarrassed.

Commander of the Solar System's First Fleet: "Unless we launch a close-quarters attack, that is, a bayonet charge, to stab the antimatter inside, their force field will be ineffective. The stellar-class warships are too massive; the Trisolaran fleet's force field tentacles certainly can't be moved."

Strategic General Staff: "We need to get past the four-dimensional space line first."

Chief of Operations: "The Trisolaran Second Fleet cannot possibly have only this one means of attack."

Commander of the First Fleet of the Solar System: "But bayonet fighting is indeed a way. Back then, the dinosaurs managed to withstand the impact of our star-class warships by staying close to them."

The fleet commander was referring to the defensive battle of the Koboy asteroid belt back then.

After the "Golden Expeditionary Fleet" failed to intercept, the Devouring Empire and the Solar System Fleet launched a strategic battle in the Kuiper asteroid belt. In the battle, humanity almost annihilated the Devouring Fleet, but was almost helpless against the tough-skinned Devouring Empire. In the end, they had no choice but to launch the warship ramming plan.

Humanity deployed 300 star-class warships, which crashed into the Iron Curtain at a maximum speed of 0.2C, but were annihilated at the critical moment by thousands of antimatter bombs launched by the Great Ring through electromagnetic fields.

Ultimately, they failed to achieve an effective strike and wasted 300 star-class warships. In the end, three star-class warships defied orders and sacrificed themselves to ram the ring, creating three large holes in it.

Of course, this did not stop the Devouring Ring from breaking through the Kuiper Belt defenses, but at least it cracked the ring open and eventually held out until Luo Qing intervened.

Based on the experience of the war against the Devouring Empire ten years ago, using antimatter to fight the Trisolaran Second Fleet in hand-to-hand combat is indeed a viable strategy.

Strategic General Staff: "Fighting with bayonets is too risky."

Commander of the First Solar System Fleet: "If the Solar System Fleet swarms in, the Second Fleet may not be able to destroy us."

Commander-in-Chief Qian Mengjian said in a somber tone, "Commander Willis, don't forget, Luo Qing isn't here. Without him, the dead cannot be brought back to life."

The commander of the Solar System's First Fleet was stunned for a moment, then looked at Luo Ji.

"Dr. Luo Ji, does Heaven really exist?"

Luo Ji opened his eyes and said, "What heaven and hell? In the end, it was Luo Qing who protected your souls. Without his protection, people die and their lives end. Reincarnation is a false proposition."

The command headquarters came to a renewed understanding of this cold, hard fact.

With Luo Qing gone, there's no one to back us up.

Someone asked, "Dr. Luo Ji, can you let people reincarnate?"

Luo Ji was truly helpless: "I'm at the Foundation Establishment stage..."

More than an hour passed quickly.

The General Intelligence Staff suddenly spoke up: "The Trisolaran Second Fleet has exceeded 2000 astronomical units and is about 3000 billion kilometers away from the solar system."

Everyone looked toward the corner of the room, where they saw that the 415 trimaran warships had broken through the outermost ecliptic line and were slowly heading toward the second ecliptic line.

The sense of crisis suddenly intensified considerably.

The chairman of the Science and Technology Committee said, "We just calculated some data. Based on the model of the generation and dissipation of warp points, the theoretical range of a four-dimensional spaceline weapon is extremely wide, but its energy consumption increases exponentially. Attacking a dispersed target 600 million kilometers away and instantly destroying 100 warships would require an astronomical amount of energy. Even if the technology of the Trisolaran Second Fleet is highly advanced, it must still abide by the law of conservation of energy. We speculate that it cannot continuously carry out attacks of the same scale and high precision, and there should be a cooling cycle for the four-dimensional spaceline weapon system." Everyone's eyes lit up.

At this moment, the image of the Federation leader, Longkar, was transmitted through the Sophon.

Carl, dressed in a dinosaur uniform, stood ramrod straight, a typical military dinosaur.

"Karl met with the soldiers of the Human Command and paid high tribute to your efforts in protecting the solar system."

Carl's short forelimbs gave a dinosaur salute.

Everyone returned the gift.

Karl: "Thanks to the mercy of God Luo Qing and the benevolence of God Li Bai, the high-powered destructive weapons of the Devouring Ring, such as the 'Sun Spear,' 'Moon Spear,' and 'Star Spear,' have been rebuilt and deployed. We have received notification from the Solar System Federation government that all high-energy weapon systems of the Devouring Federation will be involved in the command of the Solar System Fleet. Please consider the role of our dinosaurs in subsequent operations. In addition, one thousand 'Tyrant-class' warships have been deployed to the front lines, and command has also been transferred to the Solar System Fleet Command. We wish the dinosaurs and humans the final victory in the defense of the Solar System. That's all."

The communication ended quickly.

"A thousand 'Tyrant'-class warships, that's all the dinosaurs have, yet they're willing to send them out."

"During the final battle, three thousand ships were also dispatched, along with planetary-level warships, but they were all pierced by a single droplet of water."

We appreciate the sentiment, but it's of no use.

"Without upgrades, a thousand Tyrant-class warships probably wouldn't be able to defeat a single new planetary-level warship."

The generational dominance between warships is exaggerated. The Devouring Fleet, which could fight humans to a standstill ten years ago, is now virtually nonexistent.

Everyone whispered.

Commander-in-Chief Qian Mengjian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's merge the Devouring Fleet into the First Fleet of the Solar System and make it part of the secondary defense force. Perhaps it can play a role."

The commander of the Solar System's First Fleet received the order.

Commander-in-Chief Qian Mengjian: "As for the 'Sun Spear,' 'Moon Spear,' and 'Star Spear'... let me think about it."

Dinosaurs' gamma-ray laser weapons were highly advanced, no less so than those of humans.

The Starspear-class gamma-ray laser is no weaker than the shipborne laser cannons of planetary warships.

The Moonspear-class gamma-ray laser is no weaker than the shipborne laser cannon of a Starship-class warship.

The SunSpear-class gamma-ray laser far surpasses the realm of human laser weapons, comparable only to a few large-scale laser weapon stations built on the ground.

However, these three types of laser weapons have long been left far behind by the new gamma-ray bursts.

The Strategic General Staff said, "Aim the 'Sun Spear' of the large ring at the Second Fleet and test fire a volley to see if the Second Fleet will activate its 'Red Light' defense."

The power of the 'sun spear' is enough to penetrate mountains. Although strong interaction materials can block it, if there are enough 'sun spears' and they are concentrated and persistent enough, atomic nuclei will also be blasted apart by photons. At that time, even strong interaction materials may not be able to stop it.

If the Devouring Empire had encountered the Trisolaran fleet during its heyday, its thick-skinned nature and specialized technology might have actually given it a run for its money.

Commander-in-Chief Qian Mengjian: "Just do as the General Staff says, have Da Huan calibrate its position and launch a rapid bombardment... How long will it take to arrive?"

MOSS: "The relative speeds of both sides remain constant, approximately 10.5 days."

Commander-in-Chief Qian Mengjian: "Then let's take ten and a half days and launch an attack first."

The order from the command headquarters was quickly issued.

The "solar spear" on the ring and the "gamma-ray burst" on Neptune began to be continuously activated, aiming at the direction of the Second Fleet and launching a light-speed attack.

At the same time, all 500 star-class warships entered [Advance 5] mode, began full-power acceleration, and flew towards the direction of the Trisolaran Second Fleet.

After 24 hours.

Five hundred star-class warships reached their maximum speed—0.5 times the speed of light—at the cost of consuming nearly half of their nuclear fusion fuel!
Subsequently, 500 stellar-class warships activated their electromagnetic railgun weapon systems, firing 200 million electromagnetic railgun shells at 0.3 times the speed of light. Among these, 10000 shells contained antimatter bullets, and 5000 stellar-type hydrogen bombs were also launched.

According to the velocity superposition formula of special relativity, the final resultant velocity is 0.6522 times the speed of light.

This result is less than the 0.8c of the superposition in classical mechanics, which is consistent with the core principle of relativity that "the speed of light cannot be exceeded": the closer the speed is to the speed of light, the greater the deviation between the superposition effect and the classical calculation.

0.6522 times the speed of light is the maximum speed that humans can achieve at this stage.

If the barrage of shells at this speed still cannot break through the Second Fleet's interception, then we will have to consider the method of 'fighting hand-to-hand'.

After completing all this, the 500 star-class warships then initiated full-power maneuvers and deceleration, heading towards Jupiter's orbit.

After a full-power acceleration of [Forward 5] and a full-power turn deceleration, the nuclear fusion fuel reserves of the new star-class warship dropped from 100% to 20%, almost completely depleted, and it was necessary to replenish the fuel in time.

After 10.5 days.

The position of the Trisolaran Second Fleet and the Solar System has been reduced by another 21 astronomical units, bringing the distance between them to 1979 astronomical units.

Subsequently, 100 'Sun Spear' gamma-ray lasers were used to focus on the 100 Trisolaran fleet ships directly in front of the Trisolaran Second Fleet.

Initially, the Trisolaran Second Fleet did not react, but after 120 seconds of continuous attack by the 'Sun Spear', a faint red light appeared on the hundred star-class warships.

Immediately afterwards, the hundred 'Sun Spear' lasers merged into one, like a hundred gamma-ray laser whips lashing out in the universe, striking the flagship of the Trisolaran Second Fleet.

The Second Fleet glowed brightly red, blocking the concentrated fire of one hundred 'Sun Spears'.

Taking advantage of this time difference, a directional gamma-ray burst blasted into the entire fleet formation of the Trisolaran Second Fleet at the speed of light.

All 415 ships of the Trisolaran Second Fleet simultaneously flashed a distinct red light.

Approximately 150 minutes later, all laser weapons entered a cooling state, the red light of the Trisolaran Second Fleet dissipated, and none of them were damaged.

The human command saw this and visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unable to break defense.

The Trisolaran Second Fleet didn't even show any sign of retaliation, and this display of arrogant power made all the commanders feel deeply uneasy.

Luo Ji calculated the distance between the two fleets, shook his head, and resisted the urge to fire his Starfire Spear.

Another week has passed.

The position of the Trisolaran Second Fleet closer to the solar system has been reduced by another 14 astronomical units.

A barrage of electromagnetic cannon shells and stellar hydrogen bombs, traveling at 0.6522 times the speed of light, bombarded the Second Fleet.

The familiar [force field tentacles] unfolded once again, and the coverage area increased from 300 million kilometers to 500 million kilometers. During the continuous deflection over a distance of 500 million kilometers, the electromagnetic projectile traveling at 0.6522 times the speed of light showed a significant deviation.

However! The deviation was not significant. The electromagnetic cannonballs at extremely high speeds barely grazed the Second Fleet. Although they missed, they clearly exposed the limits of the [force field tentacles]. Several electromagnetic cannonballs even grazed the outer edge of the Second Fleet. Unfortunately, these electromagnetic cannonballs were normal cannonballs without any hidden antimatter. They dissipated into plasma streams the moment they hit the Second Fleet's strong interaction force material armor.

"So close." The people at the command clenched their fists.

"Look! The 'force field tentacles' are deflecting and not moving, it's a star-shaped hydrogen bomb!" the General Intelligence Staff shouted.

The General Staff clenched his fist. "The mass of a stellar hydrogen bomb is dozens of times that of an electromagnetic railgun shell. The Trisolarans' force field power is limited, and we have tested its limits."

"It seems that the Second Fleet, like the First Fleet, is a crippled rabbit lacking energy and resources!"

From everyone's expectant perspective, a full 3158 of the 5,000 stellar-type hydrogen bombs were bombarded on 415 warships of the Trisolaran Second Fleet.

3158 star-shaped hydrogen bombs exploded almost simultaneously, and 3158 clusters of white nuclear spheres of light enveloped the entire Second Fleet.

Although everyone knew that a stellar hydrogen bomb could not penetrate armor made of strong interaction materials, the power of nuclear weapons still gave those present a fantasy.

What if? What if?
The images transmitted by Zhizi made everyone pause in surprise.

The next second, the 415 Trisolaran warships remained motionless in the flash of the nuclear explosion. The Trisolaran Second Fleet marched out of the nuclear blast in neat formation and continued to fly towards the solar system at 0.1 times the speed of light.

"Ugh."

Seeing this, someone sighed.

But then the mutation recurred, as if the Second Fleet had been angered by the more than three thousand star-shaped hydrogen bombs. The unchanging Second Fleet of the Trisolarans finally showed some kind of change. The warp drive, shaped like a swimming ring, wrapped around the ship, flashed slightly, and the Second Fleet of the Trisolarans disappeared from Sophon's sight.

The commander of the Solar System's Fourth Fleet was horrified: "Oh no! They've activated their warp drives! They've entered light-speed flight, and we can no longer see the Second Fleet traveling at light speed!"

The chairman of the Science and Technology Commission said, "No, the Second Fleet did not enter the speed of light. They only slightly affected the curvature of the nearby space, forming a very faint slow fog zone of about 0.99 times the speed of light."

The chairman of the Science and Technology Committee paused for a moment: "That should be the case."

Commander-in-Chief Qian Mengjian: "How did you arrive at this conclusion?"

The chairman of the Science and Technology Committee said: "Just now, under our control, the sophons that were undergoing quantum entanglement simultaneously dropped from near the speed of light to 0.99 times the speed of light, and then returned to normal."

The commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Solar System asked in bewilderment, "Then how did we lose sight of the Second Fleet?"

The chairman of the Science and Technology Committee smiled bitterly: "Because in this slow fog that lasted for about 0.1 seconds at 0.99 times the speed of light, all twenty Earth sophons flying alongside the Second Fleet were destroyed... The enemy has the ability to shatter protons at 0.99 times the speed of light."

Humans can also break protons, but in the laboratory of the Large Hadron Collider, a large number of particles are bombarded in a directed manner to randomly break protons into quark states.

Such precise destruction of sophons is something that humanity is completely incapable of at this stage.

Even slowing it down to 99% of the speed of light wouldn't be possible.

The chairman of the Science and Technology Committee paused, then said in a pronouncement-like tone, "We have lost all vision of the Second Fleet. The new Sophon will arrive in 10 days. In the meantime, we will have no way of knowing what the Second Fleet does."

Everyone's face immediately turned grim.

Seeing this, Luo Ji hesitated for a moment, then summoned his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and made a hand seal, causing the surface of the sun to darken for three seconds.

Three seconds later, three more stellar spears condensed on the surface of the sun.

These four Starfire Spears represent the limit that a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator can control. Luo Ji is not yet able to break through to the Golden Core stage and therefore cannot control hundreds of Starfire Spears. If he were to rashly condense more Starfire Spears, they would be out of his control and become a threat to the solar system.

Four fiery spears, like swimming dragons, moved across the surface of the sun and appeared clearly in the detection image of Mercury.

At the same time, the strong interaction force between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune in the icy sea defense network was also maximized to prevent the Trisolaran second fleet from taking advantage of the situation to attack.

'Since you're all so strong, then none of you should leave.'

Luo Ji silently recited a sentence in his mind, and then said to all the generals in the command headquarters:
"Commanders, since the technological gap has reached an insurmountable level, I need to ask you to change your operational objectives. I hope that the Solar System Fleet will try to lure the Second Fleet's formation into a compact one. The more compact they are, the greater the chance of annihilating them."

"There is only one chance. If even one Trisolaran warship manages to escape at warp speed and exposes the location of the solar system, then humanity will truly never have peace again."

(End of this chapter)
