The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 439 Fear from the Dark Forest

Jiang Yu's first thought was: "Did the enemy broadcast the location of the galaxy in the New World?"

Bernice replied: "It's the fault here that none of the detectors are receiving any kind of cosmic broadcast.

"If they use gravitational waves to broadcast, the detectors must be able to receive the broadcast signal.

"According to our observation of the other party, both the Strategy Department and the Academy of Sciences believe that the other party does not have more advanced broadcasting methods."

Cao Yang frowned: "That is to say, the other party did not broadcast the universe?"

The dean of the Academy of Sciences said: "At present, this is the case!"

On this issue, everyone is a little anxious. It stands to reason that it is a good thing that there is no cosmic broadcast.

But this is very unreasonable!
This makes it impossible for everyone to guess the other party's intentions. Such an enemy is the most terrifying.

"It may be that they want to run a certain distance before broadcasting!" Jiang Yu guessed: "They are afraid that the dark forest will hit too fast, and they will not have time to run, so they plan to run a certain distance before broadcasting in the universe."

If the other party has not mastered the light speed engine technology, it is very dangerous to conduct cosmic broadcasting rashly.

In case the dark forest strike is not a particle of light, but a two-way foil, their cosmic broadcast is completely seeking their own death.

Jiang Yu's guess is very reasonable, but there is still a mysterious operation that cannot be explained: why does the enemy retreat when they have the upper hand?

This is even more unreasonable than the absence of cosmic broadcasting!
No. [-] also reported: "There is another strange thing, they are also very passive in searching for the survivors of the frontier fleet, after the war ended, their main force immediately began to leave the New World galaxy.

"Afterwards, they systematically destroyed the equipment that they couldn't take away, and they left the New World galaxy in three batches.

"There must be a reason for them to do this!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Yu folded his arms: "There must be an internal logic that makes them have these strange behaviors."

Cooper on the other side of the solar system said: "I believe that the culture of each civilization is different, and their thinking patterns are also different. This internal logic should be difficult for us to guess."

Jiang Yu suddenly froze for two or three seconds before saying: "Maybe it's not so complicated, it's a common law among civilizations, let them choose to leave!"

Cao Yang also understood: "The law of the dark forest!"

"That's right!" Jiang Yu said: "We have always felt that we have lost this battle, and it is reasonable that the enemy should be wiped out.

"But if we stand on the enemy's side, suddenly warships appear in their hinterland.

"The law of the dark forest will let the two sides start fighting immediately, but after the battle is over, the enemy will know that he has been exposed no matter whether he wins or loses!
"And after all, we have mastered the technology of the curvature engine, which is a very superb technology for the enemy.

"They are afraid that we will retaliate, so they have to leave quickly!"

People on both sides of the screen broke out in a cold sweat, which is another proof of the law of the dark forest.

Even if everyone firmly believes in this law, every time it is confirmed, it will still surprise everyone.

No matter how complicated the cosmic environment is, no matter how different the cultures and thoughts of civilizations are, some cruel laws are always universal!
Jiang Yu sighed, but suddenly smiled: "If this is the case, we don't have to hide like this.

"At least until the Dark Forest hits, we are safe!"

More than half a century ago, the countries of the solar system sent a large number of probes to the periphery of the solar system.

In the end, the reason why the New World galaxy was chosen for large-scale immigration is that in addition to the three terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of this planetary system, it is also because this planetary system has only two small giant gas planets.

Their total volume is not as large as Saturn, so they can't play the role of a bunker at all.

Once the New World galaxy is exposed, more than [-]% of the blows from the dark forest may be light particles, not two-way foils.

If the enemy broadcasts cosmic broadcasts after moving away from the New World galaxy, and the stars in the New World galaxy are destroyed, then this galaxy is still safe.

But the future cannot be handed over to probabilistic things, Jiang Yu asked again: "Have you sent a detector to track the enemy?"

"Sent," No. 15 replied, "every batch has caught up with a detector, and according to the information sent back by the first detector, the enemy's speed per hour has exceeded [-]% of the speed of light, and is still accelerating.

"We speculate that although the opponent does not have the technology of the light speed engine, they should have common engines that are more advanced than nuclear engines."

Jiang Yu said: "Keep an eye on them!"

This call has been going on for more than two hours, and everyone is tired from standing like this.

Just when Jiang Yu proposed to terminate the call, No. [-] reported again: "The reason why your route has deviated so much is because of an accident, or a coincidence."

"Coincidence?" Jiang Yu and several others asked almost together.

"After the pioneer fleet set off, we got a lot of key information about the New World galaxy!" No. [-] said: "The planet you are on is actually the target planet of the pioneer fleet."

Everyone was surprised, because their target planet was a planet with 90% ocean and islands full of strange animals and plants.

But now, this planet is only covered with white ice and snow, and the sun is only as big as a pigeon egg.

Could it be that in more than 20 years, what force caused the planet to move outward?

Immediately No. [-] revealed the mystery: "After several years of observation by the probe, we found that the orbits of all the planets in the New World galaxy are elliptical.

"And the center of the elliptical orbit is not the star in the planetary system.

"These orbits are somewhat similar to comets, with one side farther from the star and one side closer to the star.

"When it is close to the star, it is summer, and when it is far away from the star, it is winter, but the time of winter is much longer than summer.

"There are about 1.5 Earth years of summer and 3.6 Earth years of winter."

Jiang Yu and the others were stunned. Is this the universe? There is such a weird planetary system!
"The reason why this planet has such a strange orbit is because there is a huge gravitational source on one side of the galaxy." Number Three said again:
"This gravitational source also caused the position of the New Continent galaxy to undergo a huge shift in nearly 30 years, so you travel according to the calculated course, but you will appear on the inner side of the planetary system."

Cao Yang asked, "Is it a black hole?"

"It's not a black hole." The president of the Academy of Sciences replied: "If it was a black hole, we would have discovered it in advance.

"At a distance of more than 20 light-years, optical telescopes can hardly see any detail of the New World galaxy.

"However, the Wallfacers obtained the method of distinguishing distant dimensions from the Trisolarans, and can observe distant galaxies according to the changes in dark matter.

"The blame is here, if it is a black hole, there must be a phenomenon that the dark matter is stirred.

"But that huge gravitational source didn't affect the surrounding dark matter too much."

　Thank you [Big Dream Lord,] for your 500-point reward.

　　Thanks to [Feiyuan Xinghe] for the 100-point reward.
