The Wandering Planet

The water drop suddenly accelerated!

Not only on the Ark, but also people on the earth are aware of this.

It was originally estimated that there were still ten hours before the water droplets could reach the earth, but because of this round of sudden acceleration, the time was shortened to less than five hours.

The price of doing this is that the water droplets become clearly visible in space, as if they have finally torn off their camouflage and completely revealed their most ferocious appearance.

Since the surface of the water droplet is absolutely smooth and emits almost all electromagnetic waves, it is like a protective color in space, so when it is stationary, humans basically cannot find it.

The way the United Fleet locates the water droplets is to use the oil film material in the rings of Neptune, spread it through the evaporation of nuclear bombs, form a large cloud of dust in space, and then locate it by observing the trajectory of the water droplets when they pass through the dust.

Just like sprinkling a handful of flour in the air to find an invisible man, the way humans locate water droplets is so primitive, and once lost, it is difficult to find again.

Therefore, the reason why human beings believe that Trisolaran has ten water droplets is also judged by the fact that the Trisolaran fleet left ten thinner tracks when it passed through the interstellar dust belt twice.

In fact, except for the water droplet that has entered the solar system and was successfully located, the remaining nine water droplets have been completely invisible to human beings.

But now, the water droplet is actively exposing itself, not just this droplet that has entered the solar system, but all ten water droplets have started their engines and accelerated at the same time!

At the tip of the tail of the water droplet, a blue halo appeared. The halo was small at first, but very bright, covering everything around it in blue light. Produced by water droplets, but the former just drilled out of the ring.

As the halo expands, its luminosity also decreases, and it disappears when it expands to about twice the maximum diameter of the water droplet. At the same time as it disappears, a second small blue halo appears at the tip, expanding the same as the first one. Discoloration and dimming of luminosity, and disappears quickly.

This is the vortex ring of the vacuum Valsex electric field. After the water droplet starts to accelerate, the continuous propelling halo makes it the brightest star in the night sky.

Not to mention relying on radar, just looking up from the earth, the unusual brightness of the water droplets can be seen with the naked eye.

Ten water droplets form ten stars in the sky, with one brightest leading to the remaining nine dimmer ones. Even the dimmest among them is brighter than the first-magnitude stars observed on the earth.

At this moment, it was as if he had been pretending that he was just a drop of water from the detector, and suddenly he took off all his disguise and came to the earth clearly, not caring about being exposed at all.

This made human society suddenly tense, why did it suddenly showdown? How was the Three-Body Civilization stimulated?

Only Qiao Li understands that the Three-Body Civilization is going all-in, and this is the last chance they can seize.

The Lord really cares about Qiao Luzi's non-existent gravitational wave broadcast.

This is like a certain country on the earth suddenly declaring that it has nuclear weapons at the beginning of the 21st century. Whether it is true or not, the United Nations will inevitably make it nervous.

The most frightening thing is that it cannot be confirmed. The wandering earth does not yet know all the functions of the Ark. Can Sophon clearly say that there is no gravitational wave transmitter on it?

If the Trisolaran civilization is indeed stronger than the ancient Cybertron civilization,

They should be the ones who received the Zero-Returner cosmic supermembrane broadcast.

So the water droplet is also trying its best to destroy this interstellar warship that may threaten the entire Trisolaran civilization before Qiao Lv can send out a gravitational wave broadcast.

Only in this way can they continue to invade the solar system, otherwise they can only give in obediently to the threat of the dark forest.

The water drop continued to accelerate towards the earth, without any deceleration or turning in the middle, and directly hit it without delaying a minute or a second.

It is expected to pass through the earth like a bullet through cheese, and there is no telling how much disaster it will cause.

The ultra-high temperature propulsion halo of water droplets may instantly vaporize people near the landing point, and it may cause unimaginable crustal movement when passing through the center of the earth. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, these are all trivial things.

But more importantly, the water drop aimed at the Ark docked above the earth, which is the most important target for the erasure of the Trisolaran civilization.

The earth is not important, what is important is Qiao Li, and what he called gravitational wave broadcasting.

Even knowing that this is not necessarily true, the Trisolaran civilization cannot take this risk, just like the civilization in the dark forest cannot take the risk of communicating with other civilizations!

Luo Ji quickly packed up his things and came to the Ark, met Qiao Lv on the bridge, and asked immediately:

When are we leaving?

In the eyes of human civilization, water droplets are still invincible. Even a steel battleship as large as the Ark has no way of surpassing the strength of water droplets made of strongly interacting materials.

This is the obstacle that human beings cannot overcome, and the only way out is to escape from the universe.

However, Qiao Li replied, We're not leaving, Dr. Luo Ji.

What!?

Luo Ji didn't expect Qiao Lv to do this either. He had thought that the gravitational wave broadcast might be a fake, in order to deceive the Trisolaran civilization and divert attention from the earth to the Ark.

What he thought of was Qiao Li's plan to use the Ark to divert the water droplets and buy time for people on Earth to complete their work.

But if they stay here now, they will not only end up being destroyed by water droplets, but also have no chance of winning the final victory.

What is this for?

Qiao Li said to him: Look at the people on Earth, can we really leave?

Having said that, Luo Ji turned his attention back to the earth. Many media are broadcasting the current situation, and it is not difficult to find the picture.

What he saw were countless pairs of eagerly looking eyes, all focused on the Ark above the earth's orbit, even people in the dungeon were paying close attention to everything that was about to happen by taking real-time views of the sky.

Luo Ji immediately understood that if he followed his thinking, leaving the earth with the Ark at this time would undoubtedly be tantamount to abandonment in the eyes of the public.

No matter how you explain it, in their view, Qiao Li wants to escape on his own regardless of the life and death of all human beings, whether it is for the lofty mission of continuing the fire of human civilization, or despicable and shameless to deceive everyone. escaped.

Once it is considered so, the human society that has finally regained normal order and ignited a little fighting spirit will fall into collapse again, and it will be in more serious turmoil than before.

So Qiao Li didn't have the option of running away from the very beginning. No matter how much time the collapsed human civilization buys, it is meaningless.

Luo Ji knew he was wrong. He thought he had understood what Qiao Lv meant, but he didn't expect that he was just being sentimental.

Qiao Lv's plan is to fight the water droplet, right here and now!

But Luo Ji had no idea what his chances of winning were, and neither did the people on Earth, but they could only pin their hopes on the Ark.

There is less than an hour left before the water droplet reaches the earth!
