Fooling Tomoko into being a system

"It is impossible for the Trisolaran fleet to have enough materials to transform 1000 spacecraft. I think they just replaced or upgraded the power system on the spacecraft to achieve light speed flight." Yun Tianming gave the answer after thinking for a while.

Thomas Wade: "Yes, very good, we are one step closer to the truth."

“We can temporarily think that the Trisolaran fleet needs to replace and upgrade the spacecraft engine system. Only replacing the engine can achieve immediate results.

Perhaps it is because after replacing the new engine, the fuel consumption of this new engine may not be too high, and fuel is likely to no longer be a problem that plagues the Trisolaran fleet. "

Cheng Xin listened to the discussion and analyzed it with her professional vision.

Li Lin almost forgot that Cheng Xin had a doctorate in aerospace engines, and she was indeed very good in this field.

"We can now assume that the Trisolaran fleet did not have a lightspeed engine before it was deterred by Luo Ji, and the engine will be replaced in no more than a year."

Thomas Wade, Yun Tianming, Luo Ji, and Cheng Xin nodded together to confirm the time.

“According to the Trisolaran fleet arriving in the solar system, it is known that at least more than 1000 light speed engines are needed, and the materials required to manufacture more than 1000 light speed engines are an astronomical number.

How did the Trisolaran fleet, which had been sailing for two centuries, come up with this pile of materials?Could it be that the Trisolaran fleet brought an entire industrial system to build engines? "

Thomas Vader quickly thought of the answer, "It's very simple. As Cheng Xin said, the Trisolaran fleet will not be short of fuel after replacing the engine. Regarding the issue of making light speed engines, it is completely possible to dismantle several spaceships and use the wreckage of these dismantled spaceships." Make a light speed engine!

This should be possible with the technology of the Trisolaran civilization. "

“The purpose of the Trisolaran fleet going to the earth is not to fight, but to be a space fleet for colonization on a long voyage.

They have locked down the earth's technology. The fleet does not need much combat capability. Instead, it needs to carry more equipment for building an industrial system. It is very likely that the fleet actually has a complete set of equipment and data to build an industrial system from scratch. "

Yun Tianming's statement was agreed by several people. It seems that the Trisolaran fleet has the basic conditions for manufacturing a light speed engine.

"When the Trisolaran Fleet asked me about Luo Ji's deterrence issue, the entire Trisolaran Fleet stopped within a short period of time and began to collect a large amount of various materials in the universe. This stop made a deep impression in my memory. It almost stopped for a long time. Half a year to a full year.

I now very much doubt that the Trisolaran fleet was replacing and upgrading the light speed engine during this period. The light speed engine technology just seemed to fall from the sky!

What’s even more strange is that in the following two years of sailing, I found that the spacecraft stopped occasionally. At first, I thought this was normal, because I had learned about the process of the Trisolaran fleet arriving in the solar system on Earth, and they stopped to collect fuel.

If the Trisolaran fleet had upgraded its lightspeed engine during its nearly one-year major stop, there would be no need for the Trisolaran fleet to stop and collect fuel during the subsequent two-year voyage.

So what is the reason why the Trisolaran fleet actually docked the spacecraft? "

At this time, Yun Tianming suddenly recalled the docking phenomenon of the Trisolaran fleet during the voyage.

This was indeed a very difficult detail to discover. It was impossible for him to know about the replacement of the engine of the spacecraft while he was on the Trisolaran fleet, and it was impossible for the Trisolarans to tell him about it.

Yun Tianming's knowledge was still stuck in the past two centuries. The Trisolaran fleet he knew used antimatter engines and stopped and collected fuel to travel to the solar system, which would take 400 years.
