Chapter 55 Trisolaris Resolution_1

Science Governor: "Now that Logic and Lin Sen arrogantly believe they can battle us, let's fight. Killing them is a show of respect for them and also the best way to prevent them from using the Dark Forest deterrence in the end-of-days war.

We have given ETO gene missile technology, which is essentially a virus that can identify a person's genetic signature. Once the target is infected, the virus will produce fatal toxins in their blood. But this gene missile cannot kill them completely, as long as they enter hibernation in time, there is a possibility of being cured with human technology in the future.

Only by directly using Sophons to attack human genes can it truly be called a genetic weapon."

It is feasible to bombard genes with Sophons. We often speak of nuclear radiation, which usually refers to neutron radiation. Neutrons, being uncharged, do not interact with the electrons outside the nucleus but directly pass through the electron cloud to strike the atomic nucleus. The energy contained in each neutron is immense, scattering or breaking the gene chain and other critical protein molecules upon impact, causing irreversible damage to the human body.

We rarely mention proton radiation, not because it's less powerful, but because it's actually even more destructive to gene chains. However, precisely because it is charged, certain methods can be used to defend against it, reducing its penetration power.

But Sophons are different, they are controlled protons. They are charged and can act directly on a wide range of atoms, and their precision control makes it possible to strike the gene chains in human cell nuclei. Since the human body has too many cells, and some cells have regenerative capabilities, Sophons can't easily kill people either—it's a lengthy process. Yet at the same time, ten Sophons traveling at the speed of light through a human body are almost impossible to prevent with human technology.

Leader: "A good plan. The Strategy Governor's cunning has improved, it seems using a Brainwave Blocker was a wise decision."

Strategy Governor: "Lin Sen and Logic deserve our respect; they are pioneers of human civilization. But we also need to go all out, and our greatest respect for them is to utterly destroy them."

Military Governor: "Indeed, we respect them. Leader, the First Fleet has completed the construction of ten Waterdrops; I request that these ten Waterdrops immediately head to the Solar System.

At the same time, I request that the First Fleet construct ten more Waterdrops, totaling twenty Waterdrops to enter the Solar System together."

Science Governor: "Leader, this will use up the last of the spare resources of our First Fleet. If there's any accident, the First Fleet will have no room to maneuver.

If the Waterdrop combat plan fails, the First Fleet on arrival in the Solar System might truly be no match for humans. I suggest they be constructed by the home planet."

Military Governor: "There's no time; the First Fleet has been traveling for 50 Earth Years. If the home planet constructs and launches the Waterdrops, it will take another 30 Earth Years before reaching the Solar System, and we dare not let Waterdrops lie dormant around the Solar System for 30 Earth Years. With each additional Earth Year comes more risk.

Therefore, the fleet should launch the Waterdrops. Once the first batch of Waterdrops is deployed around the Solar System, we will block all their escape routes, and when the second batch of Waterdrops arrives, we will finish them off.

The moment we made contact with Earthlings, there was no turning back. My only option is to battle them with all our might. In a civilization war, there is no compromise, not just against them, but against ourselves, too.

I have recently studied many of Earth's wars and have come to a deep understanding of compromise. But in the war of civilizations, we must never compromise."

Leader: "The greatest respect we can show them is to spend our last drop of resources, going all out to annihilate them.

For us, the war is not in the future's end-of-days battle, but now.

Strategy Governor, your task is the most critical. Previously, due to our insufficient understanding of strategy, our plans didn't yield much effect and even exposed us.

When we realized the gravity of the issue, we decided not to make any plans. But now that has to change, because the decisive battle has begun...

Our opponents are Logic and Lin Sen; they have broken through the Dark Forest Theory. We can no longer remain silent; silence is the utmost contempt. We no longer have the right to silence, as they have earned the right to confront us.

What Lin Sen said is also what I want to say. Regardless of the outcome of the battle at the end of days, the victorious side will continue cautiously towards the other shore, carrying the glory of the defeated.

I want to make it clear to Logic and Lin Sen that we do not fear challenges, and we can outsmart them in strategy.

This may be a kind of understanding between us. We have the ability to carry the history of human civilization towards the sea of stars, and that is our silent promise to them.

We can fail countless times, but we must persist, confront our shortcomings, overcome them, and if we can defeat ourselves and humanity in strategy, then we indeed qualify to enter the sea of stars.

It's the same for humanity, no matter who truly ventures out, it's all the same!"

Strategy Governor: "Yes, Leader, we should not fear strategy but overcome it.

I have here a preliminary plan to obstruct human technological advancement, stir up social chaos, and prevent them from focusing resources on developing space powers. The specific plan still needs to be refined with my staff team."

Leader: "I await your plan. Humans might have an advantage over us in high-end strategy, but the conditions for high-end strategy are often hard to meet.

Lower-end strategy combined with absolute power can achieve the greatest effect. You have the chance to defeat him."

The Leader continued: "I will make the following resolutions for this meeting:

I agree to the request to construct ten more Waterdrops!

Industry Governor, the construction of the First Fleet's ten Waterdrops requires one Earth Year to complete.

At the same time, begin construction of twenty Sophons on the home planet, I need you to complete all within twenty Earth Years. Once built, launch them."

Industry Governor: "Yes, Leader."

Leader: "Military Governor, you and your staff team need to perform the most thorough wargaming of the final battle's warfare. I don't want the results given by calculation models; I need you to fully consider the results after factoring in Earthlings' strategies. Do you understand?"

Military Governor: "Yes, Leader."

Leader: "Sophon Governor, I need you to fully cooperate with ETO to destroy Logic's vault, also making sure ETO doesn't learn about the vault. ETO used must be absolutely reliable; the plan cannot allow any accidents. If humans realize the importance of the vault, you will all be dehydrated as fire starters!"

Sophon Governor: "Yes, Leader."

Leader: "Strategy Governor, I need you to closely observe all actions by Logic and Lin Sen, analyze their underlying plans. Their Wallbreakers can only be you. ETO must not be involved, that would introduce unpredictable risks. Lin Sen is right about one thing, ETO might wish to destroy not just humanity but also us."

Strategy Governor: "Yes, Leader."
