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

Chapter 487 Barrier
This is not the first time Jiang Yu has expressed his concerns. Jiang Yu knows that he has such thoughts because he is afraid of the unknown.

According to the discussion report of the Strategy Department, there is a 60% possibility that the gravitational source is the product of an advanced civilization.

Based on the magnitude of the gravitational force of the gravitational source and the orbital offset of the planets in the New World galaxy, the Academy of Sciences roughly calculated that this gravitational source has existed for millions of years.

Such a long time would be a fatal blow to any product of civilization.

At least in recent decades, humans have not discovered its aggressiveness.

Therefore, the Strategy Department basically determined that there should be a relic of advanced civilization similar to "Black Fang".

If it is determined that the opponent is no longer aggressive, as long as one or two centuries of reverse research is carried out, human technology will definitely be able to improve qualitatively.

Because of the previous "Chameleon" incident, people believed that human beings got the "black square" when they met the trisolarans and fell into despair.

After being hit by the dark forest, he encountered the remains of an advanced civilization.

Could this be the help of future people to modern people?

Only Jiang Yu knows through the "Wallfacer Store" that this help is extremely limited, and it is impossible for humans to send relics of advanced civilizations in the future.

Then this relic may really have existed for a long time, and now it has already been paralyzed, leaving only its huge mass.

On the pier, No. [-] comforted Jiang Yu: "We have settled down in the New World galaxy, and it didn't respond at all.

"And didn't the information I got from the Trisolarans say that there are such relics everywhere in the universe, and there shouldn't be too much danger."

Jiang Yu let out a long sigh: "I hope so."

He glanced at the fleet consisting of five warships and three scientific research ships. At this time, the fleet had already left the port and was starting to accelerate at full speed.

Because it is in the New World galaxy, we must pay attention to the problem of the track, so the fleet will spend more than a year to make final repairs at the interstellar frontier base [-] units away.

Then the fleet will use the same interstellar accelerator to travel 1 AU at the speed of light first, and then travel [-] AU at the speed of light after checking the situation.

Progress little by little like this.

It is estimated that it will take six or seven years before there will be specific investigation results.

……

In February 8 of the Milky Way, 2 light-years away from the New World galaxy, in an unnamed planetary system.

A small fleet of the Silicon Stars was just about to enter the range of the spacecraft, but suddenly disappeared from the radar, which made the chief of staff Essinger on the command ship somewhat flustered.

He immediately ordered the central computer "Yinhe No. [-]" to conduct radio wave detection, gravitational wave detection, and primitive optical space telescope detection, but still did not find any clues of the enemy ship.

Cao Yang, who was sitting on the captain's seat, looked at the newly promoted chief of staff in a hurry, and suddenly recalled the time when he was just serving as a staff officer to Commander Ai Qi.

He smiled knowingly at first, but then he remembered that during the second battle, Commander Ai Qi died without even saying a last word.

Cao Yang let out a long sigh: "Don't mess yourself up first!"

Essinger wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Yes, yes, yes."

Although when he was in the military academy, he was told that there are still many unknowns in the space environment, and some unforeseen events may occur. Every officer must maintain a calm psychological quality in an extreme environment.

But when strange things really appeared in front of him, it was another matter.

Cao Yang waved his hand like a sharp knife: "Notify all ships, this is probably the enemy's cover-up, the whole fleet will continue to pursue at the original speed! We must not let the efforts of the past year be in vain!"

After the large fleet of the Silicon Stars was broken into pieces, the speed of chasing and killing the Silicon Stars slowed down. It may take a year or two for a chasing fleet to strangle a small fleet of Silicon Stars.

However, the New World galaxy has been building new warships, plus the warships supported from the earth. Now the New World galaxy has a radius of more than a dozen astronomical units, and there are tens of thousands of human warships cruising around.

This big net has been spread out, and the rest is to collect the net bit by bit.

Now is the critical time to collect the net, so be careful not to let any fish slip away.

Communication staff officer Aila immediately broadcast Cao Yang's order on the fleet command platform.

The fleet commanded by Cao Yang also only has a hundred warships, but the firepower of this small fleet is enough to deal with the hundreds of warships of the Silicon Stars.

Essinger was a little worried: "Commander, the technology of the Silicon Stars is far inferior to ours. Can they really create advanced concealment facilities?"

In space, as long as you enter the radar monitoring range, unless you are much faster than the opponent and can easily leave the opponent's radar range, you will never want to hide your whereabouts.

Although it is empty here, the "vision" is also good. There are almost no shelters, and there are not many conditions for ambush. Generally, the two sides are fighting for technology and tactics.

Cao Yang pursed his lips and asked Essinger: "If someone has been chasing you for decades like a tarsus maggot, wouldn't you think of ways to turn the situation around?"

Now that the enemy's fleet is too scattered, there is almost no need to worry about the silicon star's technological explosion in the survival crisis, but it is still necessary to prevent the enemy from playing some tricks.

After listening to Cao Yang's rhetorical question, Essinger swallowed his saliva and said, "Thinking differently, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, I will try it."

In this way, the current situation may be an attempt by the Silicon Stars to jump over the wall in a hurry!

No matter what kind of attempt it is, it has achieved good results, at least now the chasing party suddenly became nervous.

This tense atmosphere lasted for more than ten hours before Essinger reported: "We have reached the area where the enemy ship disappeared!"

Cao Yang immediately ordered: "The whole fleet enters the battle state!"

Dozens of warships sailed for tens of seconds, before Essinger said puzzledly: "It's strange, the enemy ships disappeared in this area!"

Yinhe-[-] suddenly reported: "Commander, the enemy ship has been rediscovered. And besides six astronomical units, a previously undetected planet was also discovered!

"The enemy ship seems to be hiding behind the planet."

Cao Yang frowned: "Undetected planet?

"Silicon Star didn't take advantage of this good opportunity to slip away?"

Such a behemoth of a planet was detected at such a short distance!

Essinger also suspected: "The enemy fleet disappeared just now, it must be a system failure!"

Yinhe III reported: "Every system of the battleship is normal, and I have not detected any faults."

Cao Yang squeezed his chin and paused for two or three seconds, then suddenly asked Yinhe-[-]: "Is there any sign of intelligent life activity on that planet?"

Galaxy Three replied: "I need 30 seconds to detect!"

Cao Yang ordered: "Detect immediately!"

Essinger on the side turned his mind several times before following Cao Yang's train of thought.

He couldn't help but feel ashamed, while he was still thinking about how to check the failure of Yinhe-[-], the commander had concluded that the chance of Yinhe-[-] making a mistake was very small.

And quickly deduced that the sudden disappearance of the enemy ship just now may be blocked by something similar to a barrier set up by a civilization!

Although the probability of this is very small, it is the most plausible explanation at present.
