Fabricating The World: Creating A Three-Body Invasion At The Beginning

Cheng Xin, who was named by Wade, was stunned for a moment, and then began to seriously think about this seemingly absurd plan.

"I have an idea..." she said carefully choosing her words, "bypassing the principle and using the most energy-efficient technology at present."

"Nuclear weapons, this is the largest energy source that humans can currently put into space. If there can be a spacecraft or probe with a solar sail that can be driven by radiation, it can be driven by nuclear explosions at intervals or a certain distance behind the solar sail... ………”

There was a burst of laughter at the venue: "Dear Ms. Cheng, you have provided us with a cartoon-like fantasy. Maybe you should review your freshman homework and carefully calculate the thrust-to-weight ratio of the spacecraft?"

Cheng Xin's expression did not change: "Nuclear weapons do not need to be carried on a spacecraft. The spacecraft only needs to be composed of a solar sail and a detector. With such a light mass, it can easily be accelerated by the radiation of a nuclear explosion."

The laughter gradually subsided, the venue began to fall into silence, and the engineers participating in the meeting began to think about the feasibility of this plan.

Cheng Xin continued to add: "We only need to place the nuclear bomb within the initial short route of the spacecraft, and launch it there in advance using traditional propulsion methods. The spacecraft will detonate the nuclear bomb the moment it passes by to provide propulsion for it."

"We can call this route a propulsion segment, and this acceleration method a route propulsion. Calculated in terms of a thousand nuclear bombs, they are distributed within five astronomical ranges from the Earth to Jupiter, and can even be compressed to within the orbit of Mars. It’s completely feasible with current technology!”

Sporadic discussions began to appear in the silent venue, and then gradually became dense like raindrops.

"It seems like you didn't just come up with this. You had this idea a long time ago?" Wade suddenly asked Cheng Xin.

"Someone in the aerospace industry has proposed this idea before, called the pulse propulsion method." Cheng Xin nodded.

"We have all heard of the pulse propulsion method, but arranging the propulsion source on the route is indeed the first idea you proposed." The consultant who had previously mocked Cheng Xin said seriously.

After a period of discussion, the consultants gave their opinions.

"One of the great advantages of this solution is that it's quite simple to start."

The people here are all smart people, and they immediately understood what this meant.

If you want to drop a nuclear bomb to a designated location, the delivery vehicle is readily available, and you only need to use existing intercontinental missiles.

Whether it is the White Eagle Country, the Furry Bear Country or Cathay, they all have the ability to do this.

In fact, this method is more economical than spending huge resources to maintain or dismantle nuclear weapons.

"Every explosion of a nuclear bomb will increase the speed of the detector by one level, just like climbing a ladder. So let's call this plan the ladder plan!"

"The feasibility of this plan is very high, but the only things that need to be considered are two very important indicators."

"First, one hundredth the speed of light, we are not sure whether using this step acceleration method can allow the detector to reach this speed.

"Second, the mass of the spacecraft itself. Considering the basic detection equipment and the antenna size and isotope power supply required to emit identifiable signals from the Oort Nebula, the detector mass needs to be at least two to three tons."

Some people shook their heads: "No, this is too heavy, we must continue to reduce the weight!"

In the fierce debate, PIA Director Vader made the final decision: "Including the solar sail, the mass cannot exceed one ton! Use the power of all mankind to accelerate a one-ton detector to one percent of the speed of light!"

After PIA sent this plan to the United Nations, they quickly received feasibility reports from several permanent members.

First, a little good news: after calculation, the mass of the radiating sail can be reduced to twenty-five kilograms.

Then there is the big bad news: in order to reach the planned one percent speed of light, the mass of the detector must be reduced to one-fifth of the planned value, which is two hundred kilograms!

After hearing the news, Vader was indifferent: "Don't be disappointed, I have even worse news here. The Planetary Defense Committee has rejected the proposal for the ladder plan."

Cheng Xin felt a little uncomfortable, but she still nodded: "They are right."

Wade glanced at her: "You are in a bad mood now. Obviously, you think we are giving up the ladder plan?"

Everyone looked at Wade in surprise, and the message in their eyes was quite clear: What else can be done if you don't give up?

"We cannot retreat!" Vader stood up and looked at everyone, "From now on, whether it is the ladder plan or other things, you can only retreat if I order you to retreat. Before that, you must move forward!"

He suddenly changed his calm and indifferent tone and roared at the top of his lungs like a crazed beast...

"Forward!! Forward!! Forward by any means necessary!!"

Cheng Xin suppressed the panic in her heart and asked, "Then what should we do next?"

"Send someone away!"

Vader's voice returned to its original calmness and calmness, and it seemed as if he was not the same person as before when he roared. The change was huge.

Everyone was seriously thinking about the plan proposed by Vader, and they soon discovered that this plan was not as absurd as it seemed.

Nowadays, human hibernation technology has matured, and this person can completely sail in a state of hibernation.

But the problem is, when the probe encounters the Trisolaran fleet a few centuries later, how to wake him up from hibernation? What should he do after waking up?

Vader seemed to hear the questions in people's minds, and he said solemnly: "We are going to send a human being into the heart of the enemy!"

"It's very possible, isn't it 4.1?"

Wade's second sentence was not meant for everyone in the conference room, but for the Tomoko who was everywhere like a ghost!

In a traditional war, it would be meaningless to send a spy whose identity is completely exposed into the enemy's interior, but this is not a war in the traditional sense!

Sending a human being into the Trisolaran civilization is an extremely great feat in itself! As long as he is there, it means infinite possibilities!

Especially when the Trisolarans have obvious thinking flaws, this plan becomes even more tempting!

For Trisolarans, the temptation of a living human specimen is obviously irresistible.

This means that they may be able to find ways to hide their thoughts. Once this shortcoming is overcome, there will be no hope for humanity!
