The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 508: Microscopic Field! A grain of sand is a world! Grand Unified Model!

At the same time when Paul Atreides entered hibernation, various departments of the global giant enterprise were also actively preparing a research plan on the microscopic world of the sophon.

Of course, Chieko also took in all the puzzling actions taken by the global giant.

However, the Trisolarans had no idea what Paul was trying to hide from them due to his confusing behavior.

However, after so many days of investigation and analysis, the Trisolarans still discovered some traces of Paul's contact activities with the headquarters of the global giant company.

However, every time the Trisolarans wanted Sophon to find the location of the headquarters of the Universal Corporation and the source of the signal, they were unable to observe the other party.

It was as if an insurmountable shielding force field appeared, blocking their intelligent particles.

Sophon tried to jump to multiple dimensions to search, but still found nothing.

Obviously, the Trisolarans have realized that the Universal Corporation is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The technological level of this civilization may be higher than theirs, and the situation is more complicated than they imagined.

But even so, the Trisolarans still do not intend to give up their plan to invade the solar system.

After all, at this point they have no way back. Staying in the Three-Body System means death, and the only possibility of survival is to escape from Centaurus. As for whether they will fall into the trap of the advanced civilization.

They no longer care.

The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed.

They are willing to take any risk for the continuation of civilization.

……

……

A year passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Li Ang contacted the emperor of the main universe frequently to learn about the situation in other universes.

There are both good and bad news, but the overall situation is relatively stable, and it is not difficult to handle it with the emperor's ability.

As for the integration of the "Three-Body" universe, Li Ang was mentally prepared for a long-term battle, even if it took ten, twenty, or even a hundred years.

The "Three-Body" universe itself has the potential to break the fourth wall, so they need to remain highly vigilant and carefully advance the plan.

It is better to go slow and gentle than to make mistakes.

At this moment, Otto Cunningham has led the team of the Science Hub to achieve important breakthroughs in the microscopic field, and a technology conference within the giant company is about to begin.

While Li Ang was heading to the meeting room, a group of executives and researchers from large companies had gathered in the hall to chat.

"Qian Temple Fox, do you think we can really destroy Sophon, especially in the microscopic field where the Trisolarans are best at."

V found this old friend. They met in Dogtown in Night City more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Qiansi Fox was still repairing prosthetic limbs, but in the blink of an eye, he became one of the executives of the scientific hub of the giant company.

"At least in my opinion, this method is more reliable than using psychic energy or the Force to destroy the sophon."

Qiansihu said half-jokingly.

The psykers in the "StarCraft" universe and the Force in "Star Wars" cannot work in the "Three-Body" universe. If they do not study the microscopic world, they will not be able to extend the tentacles of their giant companies into this field.

"In fact, we don't want psychic power or the Force to work in the Three-Body Universe, because it may bring us disaster."

After smiling, Qiansihu's expression became serious again.

Because according to the dimensionality reduction law of the universe in "The Three-Body Problem", the eleven-dimensional world is likely to be a world where all kinds of immortal arts and spiritual powers are running around.

If they use psychic powers in three-dimensional space, it may attract the covetousness of higher-dimensional forces such as the Zero Civilization.

This was undoubtedly like lighting a torch in the dark forest, attracting all hunters' attention to himself.

So even if there are more and better options, they must not use them easily before the time is right.

At least before they defeat the Three-Body Civilization, they cannot use too advanced technology.

"Dr. Qiansi Fox, please tell us about your experimental results. We want to know how feasible this plan is."

At this time, Song Zhaomei came to V's side. After a brief look at each other, they focused their attention on Qiansi Fox. They have been adhering to the conversation they had in Dog Town until today.

All for the world's giant enterprises.

Qiansihu blinked, then nodded and said, "In fact, the Trisolarans have already given us the correct answer. No matter how difficult this road is, we must continue and complete it."

After he finished speaking, Qiansihu used the holographic screen to show the two some intelligence about the Three-Body Civilization intercepted from ETO.

During the second experiment of the Sophon Project, the Trisolarans accidentally expanded the proton into three dimensions. As a result, they saw countless pairs of strange eyes in the proton.

That was a civilization that existed in a microscopic universe, and the entire universe existed in that proton.

This is the true nature of the quantum realm.

Then, Qiansi Fox continued:

"Looking at microscopic particles from a one-dimensional perspective is just like ordinary people looking at a point. From a two-dimensional or three-dimensional perspective, the particles will show their internal structure."

"If we look at it from a four-dimensional perspective, then elementary particles will become a vast world, and as the dimension increases, the complexity and sophistication of the particles will rise to an unimaginable level."

"To put it in a less rigorous metaphor, the complexity of elementary particles in seven dimensions is comparable to that of a star system in three dimensions."

"From an eight-dimensional perspective, particles have become as vast and magnificent as the Milky Way. When the perspective reaches nine dimensions, the internal structure and complexity of a particle are equivalent to the entire universe."

"As for higher dimensions, we have not been able to detect them so far, let alone understand them. This is the realm of gods that only the Nullifier civilization can possibly reach."

"Today's giant corporations have the power to destroy the universe, but they don't fully understand it."

Qian Sihu's words made V and Song Zhaomei feel depressed. They were still too optimistic about the situation.

The unknown is fear.

The beasts living millions of years ago would never know until they died how the arrows that killed them flew into them.

Once the global giants show blind ignorance of the microscopic world, the disasters they face will befall them.

Like a wild animal killed by arrows.

"You mean to say that the Three-Body Universe we exist in now may also be a fundamental particle, or there may be other things outside the wall..." Song Zhaomei thought of the ultimate truth that Li Ang had been pursuing. If the "Three-Body" universe can show the mythical characteristics of a grain of sand, a world, through the microscopic world, it means that this universe has great potential to break the shackles.

“It’s not impossible.”

Qiansihu nodded: "Remember the experiment we did in the Edge of Tomorrow universe thirty years ago? We used an accelerator to penetrate quarks, and what happened?"

Song Zhaomei was stunned for a moment, but it was V who took the initiative to speak and reminded her of the experiment which was not sensational but had far-reaching significance.

"White and black are reversed. The pitch-black night sky turns completely white. The starlight turns into sesame seeds scattered on the sky. Everything is reversed." V said in a deep voice.

Qiansihu nodded with a smile. It was this experiment that opened up the world's giant company's research into the microscopic field.

But as their research deepened, they discovered that the conditions in the microscopic realm of each universe were very different.

Some universes are completely incapable of microscopic exploration. The vast universe is like a false box. Some universes are slightly more sophisticated, but they are also full of flaws.

This made more and more scientific hub staff feel terrified.

If there really is something outside the wall, then what is the world outside?

"If we can also obtain the Trisolaran civilization's intelligent particle engineering manufacturing equipment, then we can also determine the microscopic structure of matter through proton expansion experiments."

Qiansihu sighed softly. If one wants to build this engineering project from scratch, it will take a very long time, so if he can get it for free, he would try to get other people's experimental equipment for free.

The current research on the microscopic world by the Universal Giant Enterprise has utilized the Infinite Divine Machine for deduction and calculation, but the results obtained can only be regarded as breakthroughs, and cannot be considered a complete success.

If you want to reach the level of quantum field, it will be even more difficult.

After all, even the Trisolaran civilization’s microscopic technology has not reached this level.

"You two, don't forget."

Qiansihu reminded: "Civilizations more powerful than the Three-Body Problem are likely to control technologies in higher dimensions and deeper microscopic fields. They are the most terrifying enemies."

V was stunned when he heard this. What does it mean to have more in-depth microscopic field technology?

"Luo Ji once sent the relative position of the star 197J3X1 and its surrounding stars, which eventually led to the destruction of the star system, but the actual situation is far from that simple."

Qiansihu said in a deep voice, as if he was explaining a terrible horror story: "The spell that Luo Ji cast took effect after only a hundred years. This speed is definitely efficient when viewed from the perspective of the vast universe!"

Song Zhaomei and V's pupils immediately shrank. The meaning of Qian Sihu's words could not be more obvious.

When a suspicious and exposed target appears on the battlefield, it is necessary to kill it with one strike without leaving any trace from thousands of miles away, which requires a sufficiently clear map and real-time battlefield images.

If converted to the Three-Body Universe, it means that the attacker needs a three-dimensional model of the entire universe. This model needs to include all known star systems and accurately mark their dynamic positions.

Only in this way can they quickly retrieve the location of the target from the huge database system after receiving the information. The difficulty of this is equivalent to finding a grain of sand in the Sahara Desert and destroying it.

Just creating a three-dimensional model of the universe is enough to put countless interstellar civilizations far behind.

They may not even know where the end of the universe is, let alone have a model of the entire universe.

You know, even the world giants that are now called god-level civilizations have to rely on Xeelee night fighters to run maps in order to measure the size of a universe.

But the civilization of the Three-Body Universe has its own way of doing this.

"This is not the most difficult part. The universe, like the desert, is also dynamically changing. The wind will blow away small sand dunes and form new sand dunes in another place."

"The star systems in the sky are constantly changing their positions like grains of sand. The later the information is received, the greater the error caused by this position change."

As a seasoned warrior, V could fully understand what Qiansihu meant. It was like using a sniper rifle to kill the target person from a thousand meters away.

Before pulling the trigger, the sniper needs to consider wind speed, wind resistance, movement of the person, and even his own breathing rate.

When the distance is too far, the bullet will not hit the target as soon as it is fired, but will fly for two or three seconds, and this time difference contains too many uncontrollable factors.

No matter how good a sniper is, he cannot guarantee that he will hit a moving and changing target 100% of the time at a distance of thousands of meters.

The civilization that could destroy the 187J3X1 star system did it!
Thinking of this, V and Song Zhaomei had a deeper understanding of their fear of the Three-Body Universe.

The Three-Body Civilization is just a small-time character; the real big fish is yet to come!
"How do you think they did that?"

V looked at Qiansi Fox and said, since the civilization here can create a three-dimensional model of the universe, why can't the Universal Corporation do the same.

"There may be many ways, but the only most reliable way I can think of is to establish a grand unified model of the universe."

Qiansihu said confidently: "The reason why Luo Ji's spell can take effect quickly is that there is already a civilization in this universe that has mastered the grand unified model of the universe and created a dynamic three-dimensional universe model that changes in real time."

There was a hint of excitement and fear in Qiansihu's eyes. A complete grand unified model technology would definitely be helpful to the giant enterprises at this stage, as it would allow them to better understand other universes.

Able to control the changes of each universe in real time.

But unfortunately, the technology is controlled by an unknown enemy.

"It is extremely difficult to independently establish a grand unified model. It may even require the destruction of an entire universe to achieve this. But how can the civilization of this universe possess this technology?"

Song Zhaomei frowned. She had discussed cutting-edge technologies of giant companies with Otto Cunningham and others many times, and had heard of the grand unified model.

You know, a large part of the Grand Unified Model of the Cosmic Enterprise is based on the [neurophysics] of the Halo universe.

With the help of the Xeelee night fighter's map detection, we have a rough idea.

But even so, they still had to blow up some universes before they finally completed a simple and usable grand unified model.

"That's right, but it's not the only way to establish a grand unified universe model by destroying the universe. Don't forget that the original Three-Body Universe had eleven dimensions!"

"Each dimension is actually equivalent to a resurrection armor. The Three-Body Universe needs to die eleven times before it can truly fall into eternal silence and start to restart again."

"During this period, an advanced civilization destroyed one of the dimensions and obtained a grand unified model of the universe, building a real-time cosmic star map."

As soon as the words fell, V and Song Zhaomei felt a chill down their spines. The advanced civilization in the Three-Body Universe exchanged a star map for dimensionality reduction and death. It seemed that they had no sense of morality at all.

Perhaps for them, morality is nothing more than a package for survival that will only drag down their chances of survival.
