"Sir, based on data observation and comparison, we have discovered the coordinates of the solar system. It is located in the Orion spiral arm, 127 light-years away from us."
Chang Wei nodded and responded, "Very good. All troops will immediately initiate a warp, target: the solar system. 'Star of Hope', serving as a mobile fortress and supply base for the entire army, will head to a dim star region and begin hiding. Oh, and send a small fleet to capture the singer who escaped at lightspeed. We need to understand the alien civilizations in this universe, as well as their scientific level and technological thinking."
"Yes, sir!"
After giving the order, Chang Wei saw countless warships arranged in neat squares in the boundless starry sky outside the bridge window, flashing unified warning light signals, preparing to collectively enter the folding posture.
That magnificent spectacle, no matter how many times you watch it, will always fill you with a surge of heroic excitement. Commanding a vast space fleet and traversing the vast sea of stars is simply the ultimate romantic aspiration for men! I wonder if I'll ever get the chance to lead this powerful fleet back to Earth. Just a stroll, a bit of showmanship, and then I'll run. Hehehe, humanity will probably be stunned for a whole year! And there's a strong chance it will spark a wave of interest in searching for aliens and exploring outer space.
But after thinking about it, I decided to let it go. It was all just cheap fun! After all, if I really led the fleet back to Earth, it would mean that Earth had encountered a dire crisis they couldn't withstand, and even the Seeker civilization might be in danger. Such a disaster would be best avoided forever. A peaceful and tranquil era is invaluable!
Consider the Earth of the Three-Body Universe: in just over 400 years, it has gone through the "Crisis Years," the "Deterrence Years," the "Broadcast Years," and now the "Bunker Years." The turmoil, cruelty, tragedy, and suffering that have occurred during this time are simply beyond words.
If the Light Chaser fleet hadn't arrived, they might have ended up, as described in the novel, being photographed by a small dichroic foil, along with the entire solar system, into a giant cosmic plane, just like Van Gogh's painting, "Starry Night."
But it doesn't matter, because we are coming soon! From this moment on, tragedy is destined to be rewritten!
"Warp activated! All troops march out!"
.............................................................
In order to deal with the malicious attack from the dark forest in the universe, humans, based on the interpretation of the intelligence passed on by Yun Tianming, chose to concentrate their resources on the "bunker plan" which was considered the most feasible at the time.
But unfortunately, the human race can only explore patterns from past attack patterns, but cannot imagine a future that has never happened.
It’s just like humans cannot imagine colors they have never seen!
Whether it is migrating to other planets, building shelters, or developing light-speed spacecraft to escape the solar system, they are essentially just ways for other civilizations to destroy the Three-Body World.
Without experience, you will never be able to imagine that there is a kind of annihilation in this world, called dimensionality reduction attack.
Even though Yun Tianming has expressed it almost clearly in the fairy tale, it still fails to make humans understand and realize its meaning!
Today, the human beings in the solar system have ushered in the moment of final judgment!
"What is this? It looks like a pure white 'small piece of paper', and its thickness is almost impossible to tell."
Humanity's "Revelation" has sent an unmanned spacecraft to approach the flying "little note" and sent back a high-definition holographic image.
It was like a pure white feather floating in the darkness, so slender and harmless! It was impossible to associate it with a "super weapon" capable of destroying a civilization or even an entire galaxy.
Testing has revealed that it radiates no electromagnetic radiation and reflects no electromagnetic waves of any frequency band. Its white light is inherently its own. However, due to the exceptionally dim background of the universe, it appears slightly transparent. It's as thin as a cicada's wing, as light as snow. Perhaps... this truly is a letter from an alien civilization?
Several attempts to grab it with the robotic arm failed to change its trajectory or state of motion. It was as if what I had touched was merely an illusion.
After twenty hours of research, they still found nothing.
"Really... Another incomprehensible thing."
Bai Lce couldn't help but recall the scene when his mentor Ding Yi went to contact the water droplets years ago. Suddenly, a bad premonition suddenly emerged in his heart.
Fifty hours later.
The observers noticed that the light and gravitational waves from the "little note" were fading! This immediately made Bai LCE realize that it might be evaporating! What would be the final outcome? Would it evaporate along with the "little note"? Until it disappeared?
Bai lce kept recalling the conversation with his mentor Ding Yi, which suddenly enlightened him and woke him up.
"not good!"
In the blink of an eye, the "little note" seemed to have reached some critical point, evaporating faster and faster, and finally flashed twice in the universe before completely going out.
Soon, something terrible happened!
All objects within three-dimensional space were pulled, like melting ice cream, onto a vast, flat surface by some strange gravitational force. Their internal structures and detailed textures were flattened, completely exposed. From afar, the sight was terrifying and filled with inexplicable fear. Furthermore, this phenomenon continued to rapidly spread around them!
Hearing the screams of the observers from the front line, the Revelation quickly sounded the alarm, notified the human government, and fled at full speed. But it was too late!
Even if their spacecraft were running at full power, they couldn't escape the reverse flow in that region of space. It was like a tablecloth rapidly receding, and you, who was on it, would find it almost impossible to escape, like standing still!
After four repeated calculations, they immediately got a despairing data!
That is, the spread of this abnormal range will eventually spread to the entire solar system! At that time, everything will fall into two dimensions, and the solar system will be completely compressed into a "painting" without thickness.
In order to escape from this falling range, the escape velocity required is...the speed of light!
"It's over! Everything is over! Humanity doesn't even have a single lightspeed ship!" (The existence of the Ring of Stars was kept secret.)
They turned back in fear again. The two-dimensional transformation was rapidly spreading, leaving them with little time. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot and their expressions were trembling!
Humanity seemed so weak and vulnerable in the face of this unimaginable power. Ultimately, all the crew members of the Revelation perished.
And this...is just the beginning!
The solar system is rapidly falling into two dimensions...
