Chapter 105 Fifty Hairs

Meanwhile, the Ringer Fitzroy Class Telescope Control Center
This giant space telescope is a product of the great development period of the solar system. It is in the orbit of the sun outside the asteroid belt and is responsible for monitoring the Trisolaran fleet.

In space five kilometers away from the monitoring station, there floats the weirdest thing in the solar system, a set of six giant lenses.

The top one has a diameter of 200 meters.The next five sizes are smaller, and this is the latest generation of space telescopes.

Unlike past Hubble telescopes, this space telescope has no barrel, and there are not even any joints between the six giant mirrors, which float independently.

Multiple ion thrusters are installed on the edge of each lens, and they can precisely change the relative distance from each other with the help of these thrusters, and can also change the direction of the entire lens group.

This also allowed him to observe the Trisolaran Fleet keenly, or the track of the Trisolaran Fleet known as the brush was discovered again.

General, take a closer look, can you find anything?The astronomer in charge of this telescope pointed to the magnified image on the screen and said to the North American Fleet Admiral.

"It still seems to be about a thousand." The general of the North American Fleet said.

"No, take a closer look," the astronomer said.

The North American Fleet Admiral looked at it for a long time, pointed to a point in the center of the brush, and said, "It seems that fifty bristles grow faster than the others, and they stick out."

"Yes, those fifty tracks are very faint, and you can only see them after image enhancement."

The general of the North American Fleet turned around and looked at the astronomer in surprise, "Doctor, does this mean that fifty warships are speeding up?"

"Yes, but that's not fifty battleships, because through the analysis of the shape of these ten tracks, the volume of these things is much smaller than the battleships behind.

"It's only about a few hundred thousandths of each of them, which is the size of a truck, but due to its high speed, the trajectory it produces can still be observed."

"It's so small, fifty detectors?" the general of the North American Fleet asked in confusion.

Fifty probes is a shocking discovery: human beings will have early contact with entities from the Trisolaran world, albeit only fifty small probes.

"When will it reach the solar system?" the North American Fleet Admiral asked nervously.

"It's not clear yet, it depends on the acceleration in the future, but it will definitely arrive earlier than the fleet, and the most conservative estimate will be a century earlier."

"The acceleration of the Trisolaran Fleet has obviously reached its limit. For reasons unknown to us, they want to reach the solar system as soon as possible, so they launched probes that can accelerate faster."

"Since there are sophons, why is it necessary to launch detectors?" asked an engineer, since sophons can provide all the information anyway.

"Don't think about it." The astronomer waved his hand: "This is beyond what we can think of."

"No." The general of the North American Fleet suddenly said: "Maybe we can really figure it out. Excuse me, can you confirm the exact date when the fleet will launch the probe?"

"Of course." The astronomer then gave a date to the admiral of the North American Fleet, who then sat down to smoke a cigarette before explaining for a moment.

"Doctor, after all, you are not politicians. Just as I cannot see the fifty brush hairs growing out, you have not seen a crucial fact."

"Is there any significance to this date?" asked the astronomer puzzled.

"On that day four years ago, I attended the Planetary Defense Council's Wallfacer hearing where it was announced that the first Earth message had been sent to Trisolaris."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then someone said, "I remember this plan was proposed by Chairman Say."

"In the eyes of Trisolarans, is Chairman Say so important?" An engineer was surprised.

"It seems that Trisolaran not only issued an order to kill her for ETO, but now even launched a probe for her. Maybe her plan really has some deep meaning." The astronomer also said with emotion.

"By the way, everyone, do you believe in God?" The North American Fleet Admiral asked suddenly.

"Uh...God has multiple meanings on multiple levels at present, but even if God exists, what does it have to do with these things now?" said the astronomer.

"If God exists, it needs an earthly representative," explained the admiral of the North American Fleet.

Everyone was stunned for a long time before they understood the meaning of this sentence, and then the astronomer said: "It is logical to choose a spokesperson in the Philippines, but this..."

"If all other possibilities are ruled out, and the remaining one, however bizarre, is true, can you think of any other explanation?"

The astronomer pondered: "If God refers to some kind of just force that transcends all in the universe..."

The general held up his hand to stop him, as if stating everything would diminish the power of the fact.

"So everyone, believe in it, you can start to believe in it." While speaking, he crossed himself on his chest.

.........

Just as some technicians speculated that Say was the spokesperson of God, Say himself was having a meeting with the PDC Space Assets Council.

The other party invited her here because space development once again encountered severe problems in building an economic circle around the solar system.

"Now that the exploration of the outer planets of the solar system is close to completion, the Wannian Yandi is preparing to return to Earth. The development of the outer planets of the solar system will be the focus in the future."

"With the progress of the Roki plan, the degree of unmanned has been greatly improved. On the one hand, we have sufficient labor force, and on the other hand, the demand for labor force in the economic circle around the solar system has also been greatly reduced."

"This just laid the foundation for the future development of space, as well as the first phase of the solar system economic circle project, and also allowed us to achieve outstanding achievements in the development of Mercury and Venus."

"Unfortunately, our current population, especially the highly educated population, is still too small, and the construction speed of the second and third phases of the project will definitely slow down."

"It is simply estimated that the earth's civilization may need a population of 600 billion to 700 billion to fully meet the transformation needs of these planets and build a complete solar system economic circle."

However, the current total population is only about 130 billion, and with the improvement of living standards and educational attainment in developing countries, the population growth rate is gradually decreasing.

"Especially in countries that were originally responsible for providing a huge space labor force, such as India and Nigeria, their population growth has gradually slowed down, and it is impossible to maintain the current growth rate in the future."

"So in the final analysis, the number of human beings is still too small to support the development of the entire solar system, right?" Say asked.
