Chapter 575: "3 Bodies"
Chapter 575: The Three-Body Problem (4)
"Hey, why did the style change?"
After logging into the "Three-Body" game, Luo Ji looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but ask questions.
The original huge pyramid in the game is now different from before. It has been replaced with a Gothic tower top that pierces the early morning sky, making it easy to associate it with a Romanesque church at first glance.
Not far from this special pyramid, there are many dry warehouse buildings, whose shapes also add a lot of Gothic style, with slender spires, as if they were spikes growing from the earth.
As the leader of the game's pioneering team, Qin Feng led Luo Ji, Ding Yi, Qin Yanni and the newly joined Cheng Xin (played by Jing Tian). This time they did not delay and went straight into the pyramid.
In the hall inside, a row of statues of Olympian gods were holding torches. Beside a long marble table, several foreigners with blond hair, white skin, deep eye sockets, and wearing medieval robes seemed to be discussing something.
As for the other end of the long table, there sat a tall and thin man wearing an even more exquisite red robe. The golden crown on his head was the shiniest thing in the hall besides the candles and torches.
Evans!
Qin Feng looked at the familiar face and recognized him.
However, in the introduction of other people in the hall, he was not Evans, but "Pope Gregory".
In addition to him, there are also "Aristotle" wearing ancient Greek robes, "Galileo" with an upturned goatee, "Copernicus" with white hair, and "Da Vinci" wearing a hat in the hall...
Obviously, this round of the game brings together famous scholars from ancient Western times.
However, the content of their discussion was no different from the previous round, all of which were about the laws of the Stable Era and the Chaotic Era.
At this time, Qin Feng took the initiative to step forward and said that he had the answer to the question.
Then it was Cheng Xin's turn to appear.
"I don't have a perpetual calendar. I just brought a cosmological model based on observational data."
"Pope Gregory" nodded to Cheng Xin and said, "Tell me about it."
“It’s actually very simple: the reason why the movement of the sun is irregular is because there are three suns in this world!
They orbit each other under the influence of gravity, performing unpredictable three-body motions!"
Cheng Xin's words were not groundless.
Based on the data that Shi Qiang and others had obtained from the "Three-Body" game, plus Qin Feng's understanding from the rescue faction of the ETO organization when he was in Japan that they were trying to solve the "three-body problem", and the Chinese name of the ETO organization is "Earth Three-Body Organization".
Therefore, the answer to this question about the Eternal Era and the Chaotic Era is not difficult to guess.
This is a three-body galaxy in the universe. It has three suns performing three-body motion. When a planet in the galaxy orbits a sun stably, it is a constant era for the "people" on the planet.
When a planet is affected by two or even three suns, it is an era of chaos for the "people" on the planet.
The alternation of stable eras and chaotic eras is like a cosmic football game, with the three suns as players and the planets as balls.
As for the evidence, it is also very simple.
Why does the appearance of three flying stars indicate terrible cold weather?
Because those three flying stars are actually the sun moving away from the planets, and when the flying stars appear, without the heat provided by the sun, severe cold will naturally come.
When Cheng Xin finished telling the truth that Chinese scientists had collectively deduced, there was a brief silence in the hall as everyone was thinking.
Then "Aristotle" expressed his doubts, believing that in addition to the situation where three flying stars appear, there should be another extreme situation.
But before he could finish his words, facts proved the views of Cheng Xin and others, because three suns appeared simultaneously in the sky above the earth like flying stars.
The arrival of "Three Suns in the Sky" brought the most terrifying disaster to the Trisolaran World.
Qin Feng, Cheng Xin, those Western scholars, and the audience in front of the big screen all saw this scene.
At first, there was only a strong red light shining through the door of the pyramid, followed by a heat wave with smoke and dust, and then the messenger, whose horse and man were burning, rushed in with shrill screams and shouts.
"The world is destroyed!"
"The world is destroyed!"
The world was truly destroyed. Under the illumination of three suns, the earth had become like a red-hot iron plate. Bright streams of lava flowed quietly on the dark red ground, and countless slender pillars of fire rose high.
[Civilization No. 183 was destroyed in the "Three Days in the Sky" and evolved to the medieval level.
After a long time, life and civilization will restart, but in this civilization, the player Cheng Xin successfully revealed the basic structure of the galaxy of this civilization, and the Three-Body Civilization will make its first leap.
The game will be updated soon, so stay tuned. 】
When Qin Feng and others were ejected from the "Three-Body" game, the game was completely closed, leaving only a long progress bar and slowly advancing progress.
At this update rate, it may take one or two years to complete the update.
Fortunately, after Qin Feng and his team quit the game, Shi Qiang and his team finally returned to the base with the data and information obtained from the "Judgment Day".
The two groups exchanged new information with each other, and became more certain about many things that had originally only existed in speculation.
"It seems that there really is an alien civilization behind this ETO organization!"
Shi Qiang said this at a discussion meeting on the "virtual dream" space.
At the same time, everyone in the conference hall, whether they were scholars or politicians, black or white, couldn't help but feel nervous.
This is the first time that Earth civilization has had "contact" with an extraterrestrial civilization. However, judging from the performance of the ETO organization, this "contact" was not very smooth, and this extraterrestrial civilization did not seem to be very friendly.
"So we not only have to attack the ETO organization, but also obtain more intelligence information about the 'Three-Body Civilization'!" said General Chang Weisi.
Shi Qiang stood up and spoke.
"What we can be sure of now is that the ETO organization must have received help from the 'Three-Body Civilization' before. This help may be technological or other.
Anyway, they seem to have the ability to monitor the entire world, and this monitoring can even penetrate many barriers, which Dr. Ding Yi’s experiment can prove. "
Ding Yi, who was called, stood up and introduced a strange phenomenon in the ball lightning experiment, that is, even in the fully enclosed laboratory deep underground, the collapse effect of ball lightning will also produce an "observer effect" (see the "Ball Lightning" easter egg).
This is enough to prove that the enemy's surveillance is omnipresent, capable of penetrating any barriers and appearing anywhere, just like an omniscient God.
"No, it's not an omniscient God yet, because this kind of monitoring seems to only involve the material level at present."
Dr. Ma Zhao smiled and reminded.
"At least the enemy cannot break through our virtual dream space. They cannot enter the human brain and know what we are thinking."
"But it should be noted that the special means of the 'Three-Body Civilization' should not be limited to monitoring."
Qin Feng stood up and told about a special closed-room murder case he had encountered in New York.
"That thing can also show certain visions on people, such as countdowns or something. I guess it acts directly on the human retina, because I was the only one who could see that vision at the time." "A network that monitors the world, and a mysterious power that can act on the retina..."
"Another point!"
Ding Yi puffed on his pipe.
"That thing should be able to affect the microscopic structure of matter."
He talked about his experience in Liangxiang, which has the largest high-energy particle accelerator in China and the world.
Scientists developed this thing in order to study more microscopic material structures and discover new particles by observing collisions of high-energy particles.
However, the experimental results obtained by the world's three most expensive high-energy particle accelerators in recent years have been chaotic and disordered.
Previously, scientists were at a loss as to what to do about this, and even fell into a state of collapse, because that meant that the universal physical laws of the universe no longer existed, and physics no longer existed.
Ding Yi's wife Yang Dong committed suicide because of this incident.
"But obviously, physics and physical laws still exist. It's just that an invisible hand quietly moved the colliding high-energy particles in the microscopic field, so that we can only get a wrong answer in the end."
"When can this wrong answer be traced back to when?" Shi Qiang suddenly asked.
Ding Yi pondered for a moment, then mobilized the information database through the "virtual dream" and soon got the answer.
“It should have started after the millennium.”
“The rapid development of the ETO organization also started from that time.”
"I have a question. Since the ETO organization can monitor the entire world with the help of the Trisolaran civilization, why were we able to succeed in targeting the Judgment Day this time and in capturing Mike Evans before?"
"That's easy. It must be that the Three-Body Civilization didn't inform them. As we Chinese say, it's 'destroying the bridge after crossing it' and 'killing the running dog after the cunning rabbit dies'."
"If this situation can occur, does it mean that the Trisolaran civilization has gained an absolute advantage on Earth and no longer needs the help of the ETO organization?"
The people in the conference room talked one after another and soon pieced together a general outline of what happened and uncovered many secrets.
"Okay, then the two most important things for us right now are to continue to crack the game "Three-Body", and to decipher the data information obtained from the "Day of Judgment"."
General Chang Weisi made a summary, but Dr. Ma Zhao expressed a different opinion.
“It’s actually a thing.”
He waved his hand and an animated image appeared above the conference room.
"I have already loaded the 'Quantum Decoding System' that Comrade Qin Feng brought back, as well as the data information that Comrade Shi Qiang brought back, into the virtual dream world.
Interestingly, both of these have some correlation with Evans’ dream game.”
"What does it mean?"
"This means that after the two are used as materials in the Three-Body game, the update speed of this game will be much faster."
In the animation, a bunch of garbled data and a machine like an armillary sphere were thrown into the "Three-Body" game composed of three suns, and then the progress bar's speed was obviously accelerated by more than ten times.
"At this rate, the next launch of the Three-Body game should be half a month later."
At this point in the movie, half of the time has passed, and the plot rhythm has slowed down from the tense atmosphere, entering the intermission.
Everyone who should be reunited will be reunited, and everyone who should return to their families will return to their families.
Qin Feng met his cousin Tang Ren and talked on the phone with his high school classmate Su Xiaolin who lived in Japan to reminisce about the past.
Shi Qiang returned home, participated in the sports meeting organized by his daughter's school, and the family spent a warm weekend together.
Ding Yi went to see his mother-in-law, Ye Wenjie, and the old lady invited him to have dinner with her.
Luo Ji went to the bar and hugged a beautiful girl and got drunk.
Zhao Hailun and his sister Zhao Xiumei reunited in Shanghai...
In the end, they all gathered in Liu Peiqiang's new house to witness his wedding with Han Duoduo.
"Happy wedding!"
In the banquet hall where the wedding was held, festive music and blessings rang out. Everyone had smiles on their faces as they watched the bride and groom on the stage go through the entire wedding process.
"Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Duoduo!"
Liu Peiqiang took Han Duoduo from Han Ziang's hands, and they both bowed deeply to the father.
Han Ziang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at his daughter who had grown up and was about to get married, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"You boys...you both need to be fine!"
Although no one knows what Liu Peiqiang has been doing during this period, Han Ziang has been in society for a long time and has spent many years in turbulent places like Africa. His perception of danger is far more acute than that of ordinary people.
But he also knew that Liu Peiqiang was a soldier, and he couldn't say anything that would allow him to desert. He could only give him the most sincere blessings as a father.
The joy of the wedding is naturally needless to say, and the food at the banquet was also very delicious.
However, given the pace of the film, the relaxing moments are always short-lived.
Not long after Liu Peiqiang's wedding, a new crisis arose.
The first was the destruction of the "Day of Judgment", which caused ETO members around the world to lose contact with the headquarters and fall into a state of fighting each other.
Some of them chose to continue to lurk, hiding themselves deeper, completely severing ties with the organization and erasing past information.
Of course, there were also some fanatical guys who chose to take desperate measures. Regardless of whether they were fully prepared or not, they launched the backup plan left by the ETO organization in various countries, preparing for the final blow.
Africa, Europe, the United States, South America, Australia...
In Asia, the sudden unrest and border conflicts in India caused the military to sense something was wrong and urgently recall elite soldiers like Liu Peiqiang.
At the same time, abnormal situations also occurred in China, or in the coastal areas.
At first it was just a minor flu, and the occasional cough and fever did not attract people's attention until more and more cases occurred, and everyone became alert.
