The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 507 Snow Engineering! We need time! Learn to save yourself!
Chairman Galnin nodded sternly. As a man who grew up in the cold northern Russia, he was always serious and steady. He would not get carried away by the victory in front of him.

This time they came to Paul to discuss their future plans.

The nine droplets are estimated to reach Earth in four years, but this is only a preliminary calculation based on their speed and acceleration as they travel through interstellar dust.

But the actual situation is definitely not that simple.

After all, the engine of a water droplet will not emit any light when it is started, nor will it emit any locatable high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Humans cannot locate the position of the water droplet by using detection instruments.

What's more, these water droplets will adjust their speed and direction on their own, so it is almost impossible for humans to accurately predict the arrival time of the water droplets.

Maybe it won't take four years at all, and water droplets may reach the earth every year.

This is also the most terrifying thing about the water droplet. It is like an invisible ghost killer that can easily blend into the dark space environment, waiting for its prey to relax its vigilance and then launching a fatal blow.

The reason why the Universal Corporation found an opportunity to destroy the first drop of water was entirely due to the reckless behavior of the Trisolarans caused by their misjudgment.

If they hadn't been in a hurry to stop the Infinity-class aircraft carrier from broadcasting gravitational waves, the water droplet would not have been destroyed so easily.

Now the Three-Body Civilization has more or less come to its senses.

Since the Universe Corporation did not continue to use gravitational wave broadcasts to threaten them, it means that the Corporation may not have any gravitational wave technology at all.

I just mastered part of the gravity technology.

The goal of the giant company is just to annihilate the drop of water of the Three-Body Civilization.

After sorting out this idea that was inconsistent with the facts, the Three-Body Civilization directly ordered the water droplets to enter stealth mode, quietly enter the depths of the solar system, and wait for an opportunity to launch an attack.

The Trisolarans are not fools, they are just too rigorous.

They saw the entire battle that took place not long ago and knew Paul's plan.

Since a frontal attack might destroy the water droplets with human antimatter missiles, they would rely on harassment and sneak attack tactics to avoid direct confrontation with humans.

By specifically destroying high-value targets of humanity, the Three-Body Civilization still has a great advantage in defeating humanity.

At this moment, both humans and the Three-Body Civilization are playing their cards openly. The two sides are competing in open strategy and brainstorming to counter each other's moves.

"Do you have any ideas?" Paul asked Hines and others.

"We plan to use stellar hydrogen bombs and Neptune's oil film to continue to create a large cloud of space dust to show the flight traces of water droplets."

“We call this program Project Snow.”

But before Paul could ask the next question, Lin Yun at the side could not help but say, "The last time Fleet International was able to create a dust cloud to find the location of the water droplets, it was because they knew the approximate traces and direction of the target."

"But now we know nothing. If those nine water droplets accelerate and turn without emitting light, it is entirely possible that they appear from the other side of the solar system!"

"Are you sure you can find the right direction to deploy the dust cloud?"

Lin Yun’s doubt is not unreasonable. Last time, Fleet International was able to find the water droplets by this method, but the Trisolarans may not give them a chance this time.

"Then spread dust clouds in all directions."

Hines said firmly.

"You mean to create a dust ball that covers the entire solar system? If so, then this is God's work. Only God can do such a thing."

Lin Yun smiled with a slight disdain, thinking that the other party had completely ignored the actual situation.

If it were really that easy to create a dust ball that covers the entire solar system, humans would not have been forced into a state of universal military service by the Three-Body Civilization.

"It's certainly impossible to create a dust ball, but we can create a dust ring, right in the ecliptic plane, between Jupiter and the asteroid belt."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yun continued to question: "What about the water droplets entering from the outer area of ​​the ecliptic plane?"

Hines shook his head and said helplessly: "Then there is no way. We can't do everything."

"From the perspective of aerospace dynamics, the best option for water droplets to reach the planets in the solar system is to come in from the ecliptic plane."

"That's what Droplet 1 did, so we were able to capture its trace."

"If the water drop formation doesn't do this, it will take more than ten years for them to reach Earth, which is not good for the Trisolarans."

"Because the longer it takes, the better it is for us."

The plan proposed by Hines is indeed feasible to a certain extent, at least it is much better than just sitting there doing nothing.

Paul nodded and decided to let the reliable General Lin Yun fully supervise the promotion of this snow engineering project.

Although the Universal Corporation can easily find the location of the nine water drops, the existence of the headquarters is used as a trump card. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best to rely on the power of human beings on Earth to solve the problem.

Blind support will only produce useless giant babies.

Soon, Galnin passed the review of the snow plan, and Lin Yun was responsible for this snow project.

Today, Paul has finally completed all his missions on Earth. The threat that humanity will soon face will not come until three years later at the earliest.

He and the people at headquarters can finally take a break.

However, neither the human beings on Earth nor the giant corporations in the world can let down their guard now.

The Three-Body Civilization will never give up on invading the solar system, and Sophon will certainly keep an eye on every move of humanity from beginning to end.

If humans want to gain greater advantages, they must deal with intelligent particles. Otherwise, the Three-Body Civilization will continue to use its information advantage to develop more tactical strategies.

The global giant naturally has a way to deal with this. The next thing to do is to make something about Zhizi.

But how to achieve this requires the use of a key megastructure, that is the Celestial Navigation Tower!
The Sophon Project is the pinnacle of the Trisolaran civilization in the field of microscopic technology. By manipulating the ninth dimension of the eleven-dimensional microscopic world, the Sophon has acquired the ability to contract in high dimensions and expand in low dimensions.

However, using microscopic technology to break through the shackles of dimension is not just the patent of Zhizi. There is also a rather magical dimensional megastructure within the giant global enterprise.

That was the Celestial Navigation Tower that Leon obtained after unifying the Warhammer universe, a magical artifact that could freely escape into any dimensional realm of the universe!
As long as it can enter the same dimension as Sophon, the Universal Corporation will have a way to interfere with Sophon's actions, or even take it for itself.

Soon, in the temporary scientific hub of the War Moon headquarters, scientific researchers from various universes, including Ott Cunningham, Dr. Halsey, Jean Galen, Chishiko and others gathered together.

Even includes the mother of life like Kuntasha.

Focusing on the basic characteristics of the sophon, Ott Cunningham spoke first: "The Trisolarans gave a proton artificial intelligence the power to cross dimensions. This is not difficult to understand in the quantum field."

"But it's not easy to do this. Our experience in dimensional technology is not mature at present. Although there are some research and experimental results, there is still a gap."

At this stage, the Universal Corporation can travel through multiple timelines, but in the dimensional field of a single universe, it is difficult to achieve any immediate results without relying on Xeelee night fighters and the Celestial Navigation Tower.

"Our star gates, night fighters, and navigation towers are all pinnacles of the quantum realm. From a technological perspective, the dimensions we can cross are no lower than those of sophons. We have even reached the point of interfering with the cause and effect of time," Qiansihu added.

"Is there any way to shrink our AI robots to the size of protons and influence the Trisolaran sophons in the same dimension?"

Dr. Halsey inquired. She had done more in-depth research in the field of genetic engineering and had a more general understanding of these dimensions of time and space.

"Director Ultra has done similar experiments." Qiansihu looked at Ultra Cunningham. Everyone knew that the plan to create gods through the parallel universe of "Warhammer" was her work.

Among the many scientific research directors of giant companies, Ott Cunningham has the most profound research in the field of dimensions.

"I have used the AI ​​Red Queen to enter the subatomic microscopic world, but this process can easily cause the AI ​​robot to lose connection with the macroscopic world, or even be trapped in it forever."

"We have lost hundreds of AI robots because of this."

The AI ​​used by the Science Hub all come from the "souls" cultivated by the Matrix.

These AIs are self-aware, and once they are moved to a humanoid robot, they become almost real humans, with bodies, souls and thoughts.

The loss of hundreds of AIs is equivalent to the death of hundreds of people.

The difficulty of entering the microscopic world is unimaginable when living in the macroscopic world. If we break it down a little further and enter the eleven-dimensional quantum realm, it can be called the realm of God.

At present, the technological accumulation of the world's giant companies in the microscopic world is far less rich than that in the macroscopic world.

But once this shackles are broken, the world's giant enterprise will make up for this few shortcomings and become a true god-level civilization!
Right now, their primary goal is to capture the sophon in the microscopic realm.

"What should we do next, what resources do we need, and how much time will it take?" asked Qiansihu.

“Experiment, experiment again and again, devote all your resources, do your best, and don’t worry about time.”

Ott Cunningham responded firmly.

They are now just like the humans on the ground, relying on clumsy methods to accomplish a Yugong moving mountains-like feat, using all the giant structures they can.

Until a way to fight against Tomoko can be found.

Ott Cunningham determined the focus of future scientific research with just one sentence. These matters needed to be kept highly confidential and must be handled with absolute rigor and meticulousness.

The entire Science Hub team had to work around this plan.

"What about Paul and the others on Earth? Are these advance team members just staying down there like this?"

Dr. Halsey was not very confident about the employees of the giant companies on the ground.

She was not worried that these people could not find things to do and would deliberately cause trouble, but that so many members of the advance team were talkative and might make some unintentional jokes or talk unconsciously in their sleep.

It is very likely that the intelligence of the headquarters will be exposed.

Although these agents have undergone rigorous training, they are still human after all, and as long as they are human, they are bound to make mistakes.

This experiment will take at least one or two years to produce results, and it will be very difficult for employees of giant companies on the ground to be meticulous throughout this period of time.

Moreover, they have to report to the headquarters from time to time, which undoubtedly increases the possibility of intelligence leakage.

Ott Cunningham naturally understood the issues that Dr. Halsey had considered. In fact, Leon had already revealed the next plan to her.

During these two or three years, the only way to ensure absolute confidentiality is to let these employees sleep in hibernation cabins.

Only by doing this can Tomoko not find any loopholes or missed information.

"We need time, and the humans on the ground also need time, so let's just do our own things without disturbing each other." Otto ordered.

"understood."

Halsey nodded.

……

While the Science Hub finalized the experimental plan, humans on Earth also launched a series of self-rescue actions, including accelerator construction, snow plans, and even collective hibernation of employees of giant companies!

When Paul Atreides informed the Wallfacer Project Committee and the general public of this matter, many people expressed confusion.

This is not because hibernation is anything new.

After all, in order to ensure the continuous execution of their plans, many wallfacers will use hibernation technology to come to the future until they complete their entire plan.

How long to sleep and when to wake up are all decided by the wall-facer.

For example, Luo Ji and Hines both hibernated for two hundred years before arriving at the time when the Doomsday Battle broke out.

But it is somewhat confusing that Paul only slept for two and a half years.

It's such a short period of time that a normal human lifespan can be spent naturally, so why bother doing this?

Paul's actions will undoubtedly lead to some bad speculations among people. Their spiritual leader has just been born and is about to fall into a deep sleep.

This makes humans, who are accustomed to relying on heroism, feel very uncomfortable.

But Paul knew that these humans had to learn to adapt. He did not intend to explain the reason for his hibernation. He only said that it was part of the plan, and then hurried back to the Infinity-class aircraft carrier to hibernate.

After all, Paul is the Wallfacer of Earth and cannot easily reveal his true intentions. The people of the Wallfacer Planning Committee cannot refuse and can only nod and agree to his request.

In order for the Wallfacer Project to work, in order to deceive and mislead the Three-Body Civilization, and in order to gain more strategic advantages, they must accept it.

Soon, people gradually accepted the fact that Paul was leaving them. They believed in the judgment of the global giant enterprise and believed that the giant enterprise had deeper strategic intentions.

When Paul returned to the Infinity-class aircraft carrier and completely cut off contact with humans on the ground, everyone in the Wallfacer Committee was a little panicked at first.

No one knows whether he really went into hibernation or ran away secretly.

But even if they had many doubts in their hearts, they had no choice but to accept it. With the size and power of the Infinity-class aircraft carrier, they could not stop the other party even if they wanted to escape.

Instead of doubting the other person, it is better to choose unreserved trust.

Not long after, when everything was ready, Paul's consciousness fell into darkness and no organization on earth could contact him anymore.

Only the plan he left behind was still being carried out day and night, creating more high-energy particle accelerators and deploying snow projects to detect the location of water droplets.

Humanity must learn again how to save itself.
