Chapter 1817 Thoughts and Technology
The Trisolaran world is very large and filled with all kinds of weird civilizations. The neighbors of the Earth and Trisolaris are really too small in the universe. It can even be said that all material civilizations are too small, because materials cannot be eternal.
With the help of Dulan, humans caught the lightning ball, a gift brought by Yang Dong from the unknown realm.
The lightning ball is also a kind of macroatom, which is an atom that is magnified many, many times. Such a huge atom is beyond the scope of sophon intervention.
It's a pity that humans can't do anything with it, because how can such a huge atom be tested? If we were to build a particle collider, we would have to circle the earth, so we really couldn't start researching it.
Such a discovery also makes the Trisolarans very nervous, because it means that their plan to lock down human technology may go bankrupt. Dulan was already a greater threat to them than Luo Ji, because they were afraid of Luo Ji because they were afraid that he would discover the truth about the universe and society. But Dulan was completely out of touch, and he had no idea what he would do.
The Trisolarans wanted to kill Duran with a genetic bomb, but failed. They could only watch as Duran did whatever he wanted.
Vader, Cheng Xin and other members were shocked by Duran's discovery. Even the United Nations sent a special commissioner to learn about macroatoms. They admitted that this was definitely the biggest discovery in human history, and that Duran could win the Nobel Prize.
It's just that mankind has no plan on how to use macroatoms. The simplest way is of course to carry out a nuclear explosion. However, the energy generated by such a large atom must be very large, more powerful than Ray Diaz's super nuclear bomb, and it is too dangerous.
At this time, Frederick Taylor, one of the Wallfacers, came. He just needed these lightning balls. He was going to build a great wall of lightning balls around the outside of the earth. Duran's discovery was like a pillow from Doze, and Taylor was very enthusiastic about Duran.
Duran would have no problem, of course, since Taylor brought with him a large amount of money that would allow him to research more unscrupulously.
However, Wade believed that Duran must be strictly supervised, so he voluntarily stayed by Duran's side.
Taylor also knows Vader quite well, because Taylor and Vader are actually the same type of people, both of whom are willing to win at any cost. The three of them made detailed plans in Sophon's blind spot, studying how to send these huge lightning balls to the universe and arrange them on the only way for the Trisolaran fleet to pass.
"Actually, according to my suggestion, your utilization rate is too low. We should build a mass accelerator and use lightning balls as cannonballs. Wouldn't that be better?" Duran said that building forts is more effective than just the Great Wall.
Vader couldn't help but glance at Duran as if he were meeting him for the first time, because Vader thought this proposal was very good, and it didn't look like it was proposed by Duran.
However, Taylor didn't seem to think so. He still insisted on spreading lightning balls around the earth. He believed that mass accelerators were technically difficult.
However, Duran knew that Taylor's plan was not to use the Lightning Ball Great Wall at all, but to use the Lightning Ball to transform humans into electromagnetic beings and create a ghost army to fight the Trisolarans.
Although it is not as crazy as Ray Diaz's Mercury-Sun collision plan, a small part must be sacrificed to save a large part.
This shows that the elites of the Earth see clearly that if they want to fight the Trisolarans, they must pay a heavy price. Human beings must adopt a do-or-die attitude and should not have any illusions.
Compassion does not control soldiers, and those who face the wall must be white-faced and black-hearted.
Duran looked at Taylor and said, "You don't have to play tricks on us. Do you think the wall-facer can't see your little one?" "Vide and I are both fighting factions here, so you can completely Tell us your plan for facing the wall."
Taylor was shocked, but he didn't expect Duran to be smarter than he thought. He looked at Vader again, Vader looked confused.
"Okay, I think you have guessed it. Yes, the lightning ball is not aimed at the Trisolarans, but at our human army." Taylor revealed his ghost army plan.
Vader was not surprised. Instead, he felt that Taylor was indeed an excellent wall-facer: "I think this plan is very good. The ghost troops should make the Trisolarans tremble."
"Haha, you underestimate the Trisolarans too much. They definitely don't care."
Vader glared at Duran. He always showed that he understood the Trisolarans very well, but he wanted to ask Duran whether he was a human or a Trisolaran.
Tyler wants to know what's wrong with his plan.
"After all, the ghost army is composed of electromagnetism. As long as there is a huge energy flow, it can interfere or destroy it."
Taylor was silent. He didn't expect Duran to look down upon his suggestion so much: "Then will the mass accelerator be effective?"
"Of course it works. The mass accelerator can not only launch cannonballs, but also accelerate spaceships or cargo warehouses. We have reached this point and we should walk out of the earth." Duran still had the same old idea: "I know you don't want to admit defeat, but you also We realize that we cannot defeat the Trisolarans at this stage, so we should consider a protracted war and not think about victory in one battle. ""First of all, we must have a plan to take a step back. There is an old saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge even if it takes ten years. The Trisolarans have temporarily occupied the earth, but sooner or later we will take it back."
Duran felt that the attitudes of the Wallfacers were extremely aggressive and extremely negative, and there was no middle ground. If you couldn't beat them, you could just run away. It would be better to go somewhere else and then beat them back after they were wretched and developed.
This is definitely a rare view. It's not that Taylor and Wade have not thought about it, but this view is very likely to become an escape faction. In such an extreme environment, compromise solutions are generally unpopular and will tilt if you are not careful.
And escape is absolutely not allowed, which will shake the morale of the army. Because only a part of the human race can escape, most of the human race will be abandoned. At that time, before the Trisolarans come, those who know that they have been abandoned will definitely kill the escaped people first.
But Duran's words are naturally correct. Wade and Taylor finally decided to cooperate with Duran, because Duran's technology is indeed the best on Earth at present, and it can indeed allow more people to escape.
With Taylor's joining, Duran can use the funds of the Wallface Project and start multiple projects at once. The first plan is the macro-atom polymerization furnace. Only with energy can other things be developed.
Development takes time. During this period, Cheng Xin entered hibernation as the contact person of the Ladder Project. Another wallfacer Bill also hibernated because the current computer technology cannot support his research. His wife and Denise continued the research.
Ye Wenjie was hospitalized due to her advanced age. The old woman who led the Trisolarans here was very calm. She had done everything she could and now regretting it was useless.
Humans are trying to reach out their tender hands to the universe, and the life-and-death fight founded by Duran has become a semi-legal competition. The fights are becoming more and more cruel and bloody. The high prize money and adrenaline-stimulating fights have attracted a lot of technology. I am afraid that soon there will be no spectators in F1 racing, and the racers will all go to fight.
Huge technical support has made prosthetic technology advance by leaps and bounds. Coupled with Duran's chip technology, humans are becoming more and more indifferent to life and more and more bold. Especially Westerners, they do not have the idea that their bodies and hair are inherited from their parents, and it is their nature to like adventure. With prosthetics and chips, they can die without scruples, and some people even deliberately get into car accidents in order to replace their indestructible steel bodies.
With the development of science and technology, human thinking is also changing.
Thoughts and technology are spirally rising. Thoughts affect technology, and vice versa. With the rapid development of prosthetics, when the performance of prosthetics exceeds that of the human body, more people will want to change their prosthetics.
Moreover, as the space project unfolded, the person in charge soon discovered that people with prosthetic limbs were more useful than ordinary workers, so when hiring workers, they would give priority to hiring prosthetic limb workers, which would indirectly promote the promotion of prosthetic limbs.
This is an era of great change, and heroes will appear in troubled times. Just as more and more people are paying attention to life and death fighting, a shining fighting star appeared on the ring-Li Xiaolong.
He is a fighter with only a complete brain. He combined ancient martial arts with a mechanical body to create a brand-new martial arts school that shocked the ancient times-Mechanical Jeet Kune Do.
The martial arts that were originally only available in novels have now all become reality. The magical skills such as the left foot stepping on the right foot and the fist that punches the wind have been realized by Li Xiaolong one by one. He is creating history.
