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

Chapter 461 Closed Experiment
Kent explained in detail: "When we discovered the enemy's spacecraft and launched the two-way foil to the solar system, we responded immediately and sent hundreds of ships to meet it, and conducted a preliminary investigation on the two-way foil.

"Two-way foil, oh, that's what the Wallfacers named it, it's very appropriate, so it became its official name.

"The reaction shown by the two-way foil is partly similar to our previous assumptions.

"For example, we guessed before that, except for the gravitational field, there is no other force field and material that can be used as a 'container' for the two-way foil."

Kent took a deep breath, paused for a while, and said: "But there are many things that shocked us. The solar system country's research on gravity, I dare say it is a century ahead of the solar system federation!
"At present, the application of gravitational fields in the entire solar system is very common, but the method of creating a gravitational field to wrap two-dimensional fragments against the enemy still makes us amazed.

"It also made us feel how rough the gravitational field created by the solar system is.

"You should have experienced this, although it is a huge gravitational source, but no matter how close you are to the two-way foil, you can't feel the gravitational force it emits.

"In addition to its almost massless nature, it is also due to the enemy's precise use of gravity.

"The gravitational field they created turned out to be only for two-dimensional fragments, and has almost no effect on any other matter."

Bai Ice knew how difficult it was to do this, he held his arms without saying a word, and had a more accurate understanding of the gap between human beings and the civilization that made the two-way foil.

Vasily sighed a little: "You actually called them 'enemies'?"

"Otherwise, what would it be called?" Kent smiled and said, "At the general mobilization meeting, the Wallfacers called the civilization that fired the two-way foil at us an enemy.

"The Wallfacers also said that if our experiment is not successful, they will have the felony of destroying the solar system, and every human being is obliged to take up arms and destroy them.

"We have announced this speech to Starship Earth and several other worlds that belong to the solar system country, and they all agree with the Wallfacer's point of view."

Vasily smiled bitterly: "We, we have a gap of several or even dozens of eras with them!"

Then he asked again: "What do you mean by other worlds belonging to the solar system country?"

"I'll talk about that later." Kent smiled and said, "Haven't you found out yet? The biggest difference in the solar system countries is that the Wallfacers lead us to face the dark forest with a positive attitude.

"Although we are also afraid, the Wallfacers have taught us more than once with practical actions that fear is useless. Only by moving forward with all our strength can we deal with everything that happened in this dark forest.

"For a long time, although we have paid huge sacrifices for this, this has given us the ambition and confidence to call the Trisolarans and the civilization that fired the two-way foil at us enemies.

"On the other hand, your Solar System Federation will just shiver in the solar system, waiting for the enemy to come to your door."

These words made Vasily's face turn red and white, and he wanted to refute, but there was no way to refute.

What Kent said is absolutely right. The current high-level federal government is completely endorsed by consortiums. Let alone the long and short ambitions of getting out of the solar system and competing with the civilization in the dark forest, thank God for not being too ugly.

Kent did not continue this topic, but continued to explain: "You should have heard of the technical difficulties we encountered in gravitational field technology more than a century ago.

"At that time, we hoped to use the gravitational field to make each space city have a gravity similar to that of the earth, but we found it very difficult in practical applications.

"If this goal is achieved, it means that dozens of gravitational fields about the size of the earth will appear in Jupiter's orbit, and then the entire gravity of Jupiter will become a mess.

"This is the manifestation of inaccurate grasp of the gravitational field. At that time, our use of the gravitational field was very similar to the use of hydrogen bombs in ancient times.

"Nuclear fusion can only produce disordered explosive reactions, and there is still a long way to go before the controllable nuclear fusion system and nuclear power.

"The enemy's use of the gravitational field on the two-way foil is as precise as the collision trajectory of each atom is specified in the process of nuclear fusion."

Bai Ice let out a long sigh: "Do the countries in the solar system have similar technology now?"

Kent shook his head: "If the enemy's technology is compared to our nuclear engine that has been improved several times and has almost exerted its full potential.

"Our mastery of the gravitational field has just reached the level of your supervisor Professor Ding Yi's mastery of controllable nuclear fusion technology."

Bai Ice let out a long sigh: "I see, no wonder you keep saying that our chances of success are not high."

Faced with a huge technological gap, at least the solar system countries can still understand what is going on. Without their reminders, the solar system federation still does not understand what the two-way foil is.

Kent raised his hand, signaling to Ice to be calm: "We originally planned to use the gravitational field we created to control the two-way foil, and then launch it.

"But after completing the preliminary research on the two-way foil, this plan fell through. The gravitational field wrapped in this layer is too delicate, and we couldn't grab the two-way foil before.

"But now our scientific research spacecraft has been intensively modified, although it can grab the two-way foil, but its own gravitational field evaporates too fast, and the time is too late.

"It is estimated that just after leaving the orbit of Neptune, the two-dimensional debris will be exposed in the three-dimensional space.

"So we can only do secondary sealing, hoping to replace the gravitational field around the two-way foil with the gravitational field we make ourselves.

"Although the chance of success is not high, it is still possible to delay for a few days.

"In addition, our Second Fleet will arrive non-stop after the refit is completed. After our failure, they will form a second line of defense and delay for a few more days."

Bai Ice shook his head and said, "Although I didn't make accurate calculations, the current speed of human nuclear engines is far from the escape velocity.

"You fight for a few days, just to make everyone nervous for a few more days."

Kent laughed and said, "Who knows until the last moment?"

Then he asked again: "Are you leaving after watching our closed experiment, or are you leaving now?
"Don't worry, even if you leave now, I will keep in touch with you and let you witness the whole process of the experiment."

Bai Ice didn't even think about it: "Leave after watching the experiment."

"Me too." Vasily said: "But I have to report to the federal government first."

Kent made a gesture of please, Vasily took out the communicator, and immediately contacted his superior.

Bai Ice took the opportunity to discuss some academic issues with Kent. Kent changed his strict tone and almost answered every question.

The deeper the understanding, the more Bai Ice felt that he was facing a theoretical and technological behemoth.

He now regrets that he didn't try his best to sneak into the solar system country, where it is possible to see the end of physics.
