Chapter 199: Lin Sen's Odds of Winning_1

In the year 201 of the Crisis Era, at Wallfacer Headquarters.

Logic's Snow Plan had seen all initial tasks completed, and the hydrogen bombs wrapped in oleo material had not yet been detonated, as it would be decided based on the specific circumstances which ones would need to be detonated.

It might also be necessary to alter their deployment based on the situation at hand, and the ultimate control remained in the hands of Logic. Now with more resources, Logic had the advantage of deploying additional hydrogen bombs that didn't need to be detonated to ensure concealment.

Rey Diaz's fleet retrofit plan was also nearing completion, though progress hadn't met expectations due to limited dock capacity.

All of Lin Sen's high-energy particle collider spaceships had also gathered near Wallfacer Headquarters, and Lin Sen had come here as well, joining Ding Yi and others.

In the central hall's gigantic holographic projection, an icon suddenly flashed — it was a holographic video connection request from Hines.

Once the video connected, the figure of Hines appeared in the hall.

Hines said joyfully, "Mr. Lin Sen, we've succeeded. Tyler has found your cousin in Quantum Space, Lin Yun, Colonel Lin.

"The final piece of the Mental Quantum Sensing Array has been located. If the research on the mind tactility array is successful, humanity will also possess its own 'Sophons'.

"This means we can get their intelligence, which will give us a great advantage in the war."

Before the Great Ravine, Tyler transformed himself into quantum life because he believed that there seemed to be no hope of defeating the Trisolarans through conventional means. The only path he could see was to utilize Quantum Space.

Tyler and Hines frequently engaged in mind tactility in the real world, causing their thoughts to resonate and entangle at the quantum level. After Tyler entered Quantum Space and became quantum life, this mental resonance and entanglement continued to exist.

Quantum Space is a high-dimensional space coexisting with our three-dimensional space. If research continues, it will be revealed that this high-dimensional space is a reduced dimension from the original 12-dimensional space, curled up on a tiny scale, containing an abundance of dark matter, where quantum life also resides.

The principle of Sophons' instantaneous communication is because Sophons enter such a dimensional space, conducting communication through an induction array in higher dimensions.

In those curled-up high-dimensional spaces, speed can far exceed that of light in three-dimensional space — it's like instant communication.

If we let four individuals with synchronized and entangled thoughts, two in the macroscopic world and two quantumized into Quantum Space, they could also establish a similar induction array for high-dimensional observation and instant communication.

This news was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Lin Sen, and his chances of victory increased slightly.

Lin Sen quickly steadied his inner turmoil and then spoke, "That's excellent. It's as though we've gained an extra pair of eyes that can directly see them.

"When can the Mental Quantum Sensing Array be completed? Are there any limitations to its use?

"Additionally, how are Tyler and Lin Yun doing now? What state are they in?"

Hines replied, "It's estimated to take 3 to 6 months, mainly depending on the cohesiveness of our four minds' quantum thoughts.

"Indeed, there are limitations. If Tyler and the others move in high-dimensional space, they can be very fast, with their minimum speed being that of light.

"However, they cannot determine their exact location, meaning they cannot observe a specific location in the macroscopic world, or rather, returning to a quantum state is entirely random.

"If they move in the macroscopic world in a quantum state, their speed is the greatest limitation, reaching at most twice the Third Cosmic Velocity, lacking the ability to monitor the battlefield.

"Their condition may not be good, as quantum life isn't eternal. In the three-dimensional world, quantum life is like probability clouds that will eventually disperse forever, akin to ceasing to exist.

"Based on our theoretical calculations, Tyler and Lin Yun might only have a few decades of life left in Quantum Space.

"If the Mental Quantum Sensing Array succeeds, you will also get to see your cousin, Lin Yun."

Actually, Lin Sen didn't know what to say to Lin Yun since he wasn't truly Lin Sen; at most, he had only admiration for Lin Yun.

As for the secrets of Lin Sen's past life, Lin Sen could easily refrain from thinking about it, minimizing the amplitude of those memories' brain waves, similar to the principle that allowed him to lie to No. 7.

It wasn't so much about protecting the secret of his transmigration, but for the likes of Tyler and Hines, knowing their world was merely a book from Lin Sen's past life could be an unbearable blow.

Scientists often have more tenacity than ordinary people. Just like in the early stages of the crisis, the Trisolarans' Miracles project led many scientists to suicide, Lin Sen also worried they might take their own lives.

Lin Sen affirmed, "Regardless, we've taken another step closer to the Trisolarans, and another step closer to victory.

"Every step forward is infused with the wisdom and sweat of countless people;

"Every small breakthrough fills us with hope for the future.

"As long as we persevere and don't give up, victory will surely belong to humanity."

Lin Sen's odds of winning the battle against the Trisolarans are as follows:

Before the Great Ravine, all of Lin Sen's plans were completed, he cracked the Trisolaran Smartmachines plan, acquired quantum computer technology, and destroyed the ETO;

The key is that Lin Sen knew the details of the Whirlwind Stomp. Even the most powerful weapon, once its details are known, would lose its mystery and deterrence.

These account for a ten percent chance of victory.

From the Great Ravine to the present, humanity, following Lin Sen's plan, successfully navigated the Great Ravine and, in the process of civilization restructuring and integration, triggered a technological explosion, building a massive number of warships and Stellar Defense Systems;

The most important thing is that human society doesn't harbor attitudes of guaranteed victory or certain defeat, this accounts for another ten percent in the odds of victory.

Don't think a twenty percent chance of victory is low, it is actually quite high.

And the phrase "no more painting within a painting" accounts for a thirty percent chance of victory.

Without this phrase, Lin Sen wasn't sure he could defeat Trisolaris and might eventually have to resort to Dark Forest Deterrence.

For this, Lin Sen could only get humanity to adapt in advance.

The Island Plan, the Lagrange Project, and the Ultimate Battle Escape Plan were all designed to let humanity adapt to the Dark Forest in advance.

To avoid the original timeline's issue of being too afraid of the Dark Forest to flee after the exposure of their coordinates, some people didn't even dare to "wait for death."

Humanity now has actually already taken steps forward; Shui Wa's interstellar spaceship might reach Proxima Centauri in another hundred years.

Fear is useless; aside from facing it, there's no other choice.

All things considered, humanity has a fifty percent chance of victory against Trisolaris, we've finally reached a point where we stand toe-to-toe with them.

In this long war, humanity has undergone countless trials and tribulations.

A century of living together, a century of lessons, it took two hundred years to finally stand tall and face Trisolaris!

The completion of the Mental Quantum Sensing Array before the decisive battle also gave Lin Sen an extra five percent in his odds of victory, which one must admit was also due to luck.

If there's a god in this world, it should stand on the side of humanity! In the original work, humanity's luck was actually better, and it seems this fortune has been retained in this timeline as well.

Additionally, on the final battlefield, the Trisolarans also committed a major taboo of war. In fact, Trisolarans have always been led by the nose by Lin Sen.

What the Trisolarans anticipated was blocking humanity's ability to send stellar-level broadcasts, to obliterate humanity's hope for escape, but all this took place within Lin Sen's predetermined battlefield.

This is another five percent in Lin Sen's odds for victory. Adding everything up, humanity now has a sixty percent chance of winning. As one declines and the other rises, the Trisolarans should be the ones afraid.

PS: In Trisolaris, Sophons sense each other and communicate through the Quantum Induction Array, which goes against the existing theoretical framework.

The author believes that after the original eleven-dimensional space was reduced, the high-dimensional space coiled up at the microscopic scale may only exist here.

This type of high-dimensional space coiled at the microscopic scale, also known as Quantum Space. Quantum Space contains a large amount of high-dimensional matter that we cannot perceive, but gravity can traverse dimensions, which is also hypothesized in current universe theories to be the dark matter that makes up 95% of the universe's mass.

The mental consciousness of humans also lies within it. The brain's thinking entangles and resonates with it at the quantum level, thus forming my thoughts.

The consciousness within Quantum Space can be understood as a cloud of thought, this also explains the "observer effect" of quantum life in the original work, due to the entangled thoughts resonance.

This book extends and deduces some of the original's unreasonable settings. While maintaining the large framework of the Trisolaran Universe, it makes these settings more rigorous and reasonable.
