Chapter 1811 Ladder Plan

It has been three years since the news of the Trisolarans was exposed. Although there has been no major social unrest, the foundation has been shaken, which can be seen from the high suicide rate.

From time to time, there are speeches that humans have no future, and negative emotions have been spreading. This is not a good phenomenon. The most exaggerated thing is the birth of the Trisolarans. Countless people hope to influence the Trisolarans with their sincerity, hoping that the Trisolarans will give up the invasion and become gods to guide humans.

In short, there are many things that can only be thought of.

At the forefront of the fight against the Trisolarans, it is much simpler, and the thoughts are also very unified, that is, to defeat the Trisolarans and win victory for the earthlings.

After Duran joined the cryostat mission, he made great contributions, overcame difficulties one by one, and proved the value of crazy scientists with his strength.

At this time, the wall-facer Manuel Diaz finally became the first person to implement his plan. He wanted to study super nuclear bombs, which were more powerful than all the current nuclear bombs of mankind. Even because of the great power, it could not be detonated on the surface, because the explosion might deflect the earth and cause permanent climate change.

This super nuclear bomb will be sent to Mercury to be detonated. Rey Diaz said that as long as humans master this ultimate nuclear bomb, even if the Trisolarans come from afar, they will only be reduced to ashes.

For a time, all the people on Earth were excited, and they all looked forward to witnessing the news of the super nuclear bomb exploding on the surface of Mercury. It may take a few years to succeed, but this is the first time that the wallfacer has exerted his power, and everyone is naturally looking forward to it. This shows that the wallfacer is not wasting taxpayers' money in vain, but is really carrying out the mission.

And super nuclear bombs can really make people feel safe in this environment. Nuclear bombs are the most powerful weapons currently mastered by humans, and everyone believes that nuclear bombs can change the situation of the war.

There is nothing that cannot be solved by large-ton nuclear bombs. If there is, then double the tonnage.

The voice of the wallfacer is exciting. As for the other three wallfacers, although there is no news, everyone believes that they must be working hard.

Of course, they don’t know that there is a young man named Luo Ji who spends the money of the United Nations to live a comfortable life in the green mountains and clear waters. He even uses the power of the state machine to find his ideal dream lover in the vast sea of ​​people. His life is so comfortable. Of course, the money he used to live on was not even a fraction of the research funds of the other three wallfacers, so the United Nations did not intervene further.

Moreover, the main purpose of the Wallfacer Project was to deceive, not only to deceive the Trisolarians, but also to deceive the Earthlings, so even if the Wallfacers were eating, drinking and having fun, that was part of the plan, and the Wallfacers were hiding their true purpose.

"I really envy the Wallfacers." After Duran finished his research on the cryochamber, he repeatedly lamented that the Wallfacers were treated so well: "I also want to be a Wallfacer, and it is really a pleasure to spend the United Nations' money to conduct research that I am interested in."

Duran was not the only one who envied him. Countless people envied and hated him, but unfortunately there were only four Wallfacers among seven billion people.

Just when Duran was complaining, someone else came to him, because Duran was now famous, and everyone knew that this madman's brain research was at the forefront of the world, so many people were willing to come to him for advice on any brain-related issues.

This time, the United Nations' Planetary Defense Agency came to consult Duran, and they hoped that Duran could participate in their "Ladder Plan".

The so-called Ladder Plan was to send Earthlings to Trisolarian.

When the Trisolarians tried every means to come to Earth, the people on Earth also thought of sending humans to Trisol. Unfortunately, the Trisolarians at least have a spacecraft with a maximum speed of one-tenth of the speed of light, while humans can hardly reach the third cosmic speed, let alone let humans cross 4.22 light years to Trisol.

So to complete this plan, the cargo volume must be light first, not too heavy, and the weight is about the size of a brain.

However, being light alone cannot solve the problem of speed. Next, we need to accelerate. Someone proposed the "ladder plan", which is actually to use the power of nuclear explosions to provide acceleration in stages, just like climbing stairs, speeding up step by step.

The design is very simple, that is, there is a sail in front of the spacecraft, the sail carries the spacecraft forward, and a small-scale nuclear explosion is carried out behind the sail every once in a while, using the energy of nuclear radiation as wind to push the sail.

The ladder plan has been approved by the United Nations, and now it is necessary to select a brain that can go to the universe and a scientist who can ensure that the brain can survive.

This scientist is Duran.

The person who contacted Duran was a tough Western soldier. This serious white man sat next to Duran meticulously. He just told Duran that he was the director of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau of the Planetary Defense Council, named Thomas Wade. After a brief introduction, he remained silent.

In fact, before meeting Duran, Wade read a thick report about Duran. He thought that Duran's research was very valuable. He had decided to keep Duran in the Intelligence Bureau this time to work for him.

The Ladder Project is very important because it is the first time that humans have gone out of the solar system to complete contact with aliens, so the selected brain is very important. Wade selected candidates with aerospace knowledge and diseases from all over the world, hoping to select the best brain from them to penetrate the Trisolarians.

Wade's plan is to let the brain obtain intelligence from the Trisolarians and then find a way to transmit it to Earth. Of course, the possibility of success of this plan is very small, but this plan is very cost-effective so it is worth doing.

"Why not send a few more brains? The United Nations will not be short of money to carry out the 'Ladder Plan' several times." Wade did not speak, but Duran was willing to talk.

"It's not the United Nations' problem, but the limited funds of the entire Defense Bureau. Although this plan has passed the United Nations regulations, they will not allocate more funds to us. The funds for the Ladder Plan are entirely provided by the Defense Bureau." Wade also hopes to send a few more brains. One more brain means one more opportunity, but unfortunately reality does not allow it.

"So that's the case. The landlord's family has no surplus food. It turns out that the wallfacer is better." Duran knew that the funding of the wallfacer was unlimited, so there was no need to be so frugal.

Wade did not speak. He knew that Duran's mind was full of wild ideas, and each one was crazier than the other, but Wade thought that Duran was an indispensable talent for mankind in this era.

When he arrived at the Planetary Defense Bureau, Duran met this batch of candidates, as well as Cheng Xin, a spacecraft researcher who proposed the possibility of the 'Ladder Plan'.

Cheng Xin was an orphan, but she had excellent grades and entered the Defense Bureau directly after graduation, and proposed such a highly feasible plan.

The people who contributed their brains also came from all over the world, black, white and yellow. Duran's job was to monitor the health of their brains during the selection process, and then make a cryostat to hold and protect the brains.

Duran smiled: "My invention is definitely 10,000 times better than their current containers." The container he was talking about was the body of the selected candidates. These selected candidates were not healthy, and some were even pulled down from the euthanasia beds.
