The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 510 Now I want to communicate with the Three-Body World!
"However, this method is not without improvement plans."

After rejecting Qiansihu's plan, Ott Cunningham changed the subject and said, "We can quickly create a strong electromagnetic field covering the entire base platform on the War Moon."

"With the help of stellar engines and deformable metals and the spark source, it only takes one command to transform various energy engines into electromagnetic launch devices."

The War Moon under the feet of Ott Cunningham and others is itself a celestial giant structure made of huge transformable metal. It is not just an ordinary base platform, but also a large-scale Transformer that can be transformed and assembled into any object at any time.

"As long as we can prepare the relevant design instructions in advance, and wait until the sophons enter the War Moon, we can issue the instructions to instantly release a strong electromagnetic field and immediately capture all the intruding sophons."

The plan optimized by Ott Cunningham is more reasonable. Although there are still certain risks, it is also a way to maximize the control of the intelligent particles.

Just when everyone was thinking secretly that this method might work, Song Zhaomei on the side suddenly poured a basin of cold water on them:
"Then the question is, how can we ensure that all five sophons arrive on the Moon of War at the same time? Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Trisolarans to place all their eggs in the same circle at the same time."

"They will most likely send one droplet to investigate first, rather than all five at once."

Song Zhaomei's reminder is not without reason. Technical problems are easy to solve for global giants, but strategic problems require more wisdom and vision to resolve.

Even if the Universal Corporation really managed to capture three of the Trisolarans' sophons using this method, there would be no other way to deal with the remaining two sophons.

Before the technology in the microscopic field matures, the Universal Corporation can only allow the two intelligent beings to continue to serve as the eyes of the Trisolarans.

The Trisolarans could not fall into the same trap twice.

The Universal Corporation paid the price of exposing its tracks, but it could not completely blind the eyes of the Trisolarans, and the advantage of the Universal Corporation lurking in the dark would also be gone.

Obviously, they can only achieve real victory if they catch all five intelligent beings in one go, and only then can they exchange advantages and disadvantages to maximize their benefits.

So the question is, is it really possible to let all five sophons rush into the Moon of War at the same time?

The staff of the Science Hub have worked so hard to solve the technical problems, it would be a shame to give up just like that.

It was not until a long while later that V suddenly said, "Maybe you can try my method."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on V. This experienced old agent and commander always came up with unexpected ideas. Maybe V's method could break the deadlock.

"What method?" Qiansihu asked.

"Our goal is to attract all five sophists of the Trisolaran civilization to the Moon of War in a short period of time, so that we can capture them all in one fell swoop."

V first reiterated the goal and mission slowly, but Qiansihu smiled bitterly and shook his head, rejecting the feasibility of this goal.

"This is impossible. The Trisolaran civilization is not stupid. There is no way they would send all their sophons to an unknown area."

"The Trisolarans don't have many cards to play right now. If conditions do not allow, this seemingly rational civilized species may not necessarily do something irrational."

Listening to V's answer, Qiansihu still frowned. As a rigorous scientist, he could not really understand the wild ideas that were beyond the scope of reason.

"Well, you need something for your plan."

Ott Cunningham looked at V and asked aloud.

"A device capable of sending messages at stellar power, preferably like the one Ye Wenjie uses."

Three hundred years ago, Ye Wenjie used the signal transmitter in the Red Coast Base to amplify the radio signal through the sun and transmit the call of mankind outside the solar system.

That was also the first time that human civilization communicated with the Trisolarans, and the response they received was repeated three times: Don't answer.

But Ye Wenjie firmly believes that mankind is beyond salvation and only the advent of a savior can save the fate of human civilization.

But the Trisolarans are not saviors. They are ordinary cosmic refugees in the Trisolaran Universe, a species on the verge of extinction and eager to survive.

The tragedy of personal fate and the dust of the times all originated from the mysterious Red Coast Base. Ye Wenjie's guidance and Luo Ji's epiphany are inseparable from that place.

V's plan is to build a new signal transmission tower on the Moon of War, a place similar to the Red Coast Base, designed to lure the Trisolarans' sophons.

To achieve this is not a problem at all for the world's giants.

The Red Coast Base in "The Three-Body Problem" was established in the 20s. The signal sending devices used at that time were still quite primitive. Now, for a giant company to build a new signal tower, it is only a matter of minutes.

The only question is what exactly V wants to do with a not-so-advanced cell tower.

Would they use it to send signals to the Trisolarans? Was it really necessary for the Universal Corporation to do this, risking exposing its tracks, just to put on a show in front of the Trisolarans?

Everyone expressed confusion, but V just smiled calmly: "Don't worry, this is just a bluff, but in order to ensure that the Trisolarans will be fooled, it still needs to be indistinguishable from the real thing."

Qiansihu stared at V, still not understanding his train of thought: "Since you have sent a signal to the Trisolarans to negotiate terms, why not use this method to persuade the Trisolarans to surrender directly?"

"It's not like we haven't persuaded other civilized species to surrender before."

Qiansihu was right. As early as the Warhammer universe, the Cosmos Corporation had offered surrender conditions to the Necrons, and took down this key civilized species without any effort.

Not only did they obtain the fragments of the Necrons' star god, but they also gained the joining of a powerful civilization.

To put it bluntly, the Three-Body Civilization just wants a new home to live in. Is this war really necessary?

However, V said with great determination: "This battle must be fought, and sacrifices are inevitable!"

Archon Leon had already said that the next time the star gate would open would only be after the integration mission was completed, and before that none of them could return to the main universe through the star gate.

The Trisolarans are not fools. If a giant corporation promises to give them a new home, they will definitely send Water Droplets to inspect it.

But since the star gate cannot be opened, there is naturally no way to inspect the goods.

Then there is only one way left, fight.

Beating the Trisolarans and making them completely surrender to humans is not the result that V wants. The goal is to force the Trisolaran civilization to surrender.

Moreover, based on the information in the giant enterprise database, V also understood what kind of species the Three-Body Civilization was. It was impossible not to defeat this civilization, as they would do anything to survive.

This is of course an advantage in the cruel universe of "The Three-Body Problem", otherwise the Trisolarans would not have survived until the end of the universe. In V's eyes, this seemingly small and easy-to-bully civilization is definitely a "Xiao Yan"-level template for the poor young man who should not be bullied.

In the original novel, the Trisolarans learned strategies and plots after cultural and technological integration with human civilization. They learned humans' abstract thinking, but humans failed to learn the Trisolarans' rationality.

So he died in the arms of the Virgin Mary from a two-dimensional foil attack.

After the action plan was officially determined, Global Giant immediately launched a series of operations.

The electromagnetic wave signal transmitting device and quantum field starting equipment are all being prepared in an orderly manner.

Before capturing Sophon, what V had to do was to make the Three-Body Civilization feel fear and panic. Even the most rational civilization will always make wrong decisions if it is confused.

A signal transmission platform similar to the Red Coast Base was quickly built. This small project was nothing compared to the various mega-projects of giant companies.

Thanks to the highly AI-automated construction system, the ancient and huge antenna is pointed at the sky, aiming in the direction of the sun, like a giant cannon.

The employees of the giant company quickly made relevant preparations and were ready to send signals to the sun at any time, using the sun to transmit the signals to the outside world with stellar power. All the steps were almost exactly the same as what Ye Wenjie did back then.

V's plan naturally received Leon's approval. When everything was ready, all he had to do was remove the War Moon's energy stealth shield and actively expose his own existence.

In fact, not everyone supports V's plan. After all, the risk of doing so is indeed a bit high.

Who can guarantee that the higher-dimensional civilization in the "Three-Body" universe will not be locked onto the location of the solar system because of the opening of the star gate? If they expose their existence now, they will definitely put themselves in danger.

But V wants everyone to adapt to the cruelty and coldness of the Three-Body Universe as quickly as possible. The level of the Universal Corporation is not low, and it is not unqualified to play open games with advanced civilizations.

Now is the time to show our cards.

"Are you sure you really want to do this?"

Before giving the final order, Ott Cunningham looked at V and asked.

V looked up at the sky and nodded, "Let's get started."

After feeling V's resolute attitude, Ultra said no more and immediately ordered to shut down the energy shield of the War Moon and lift the stealth state.

Immediately, the invisibility camouflage completely disappeared from the War Moon, and a huge celestial body suddenly appeared in the dark space like black velvet, stationed at one end of the solar system.

The traction of the surrounding planets did not change the position of the War Moon. The War Moon just stayed there, as if inviting Sophon's arrival.

The sophon, which had been lingering on the outskirts of the Moon of War, finally found an opportunity to enter. It quickly flew to the ground and arrived inside the Moon of War.

He took in everything with an almost greedy gaze, striving to transmit all information back to the headquarters of the Three-Body Civilization.

At the same time, the other two intelligent beings in the solar system were also rushing towards the Moon of War, regarding it as a core surveillance area. The Three Body's attention to the giant enterprise completely exceeded that of humans.

Anyway, humans on Earth can’t come up with anything in a short time, so interfering with particle experiments won’t hurt.

Of course, everything was within V's expectations.

Since he dared to take the initiative to reveal the existence of the giant company's headquarters, he must have his own preparations, and the Trisolarans would definitely not be willing to give up this opportunity.

At this moment, the Trisolaran civilization is still unable to determine for what purpose the Moon of War has lifted its invisibility, nor does it know how long the visible state will last.

But no matter what, this may be their only chance to gather more intelligence about the world's giant companies, and the risk is worth taking.

After seeing the Three Body Leaders inside the Moon of War through Sophon's perspective, they were somewhat confused by everything in front of them. They knew that the Universal Corporation was not that simple.

But the question is how such a huge celestial body entered the solar system so quietly.

Logically speaking, if such a huge planet wanted to enter the inner solar system, it would definitely cause some sensation, or at least it would be impossible to hide from Sophon's surveillance.

The Month of War just happened to appear so inexplicably, how could this not shock and astonish the Trisolarans.

However, V was in no mood to explain to the Trisolarans at this moment. After he estimated that the time was almost up, he took the initiative to face Sophon and said:

"Now, I want to talk to the Three-Body World."

V first introduced himself and his position in the giant company, then showed the button in his hand and spoke to the empty sky:

"This is a signal transmitter. As long as my hand shakes, the signal tower will send out radio signals toward the sun. After being amplified by the sun, the signal with stellar power will spread beyond the solar system."

"The spell we sent out this time is the relative position of the Trisolaran world and the 30 surrounding stars. The sun will become a signal tower in the Milky Way, spreading your homeland throughout the universe."

"You know what this means, now I give you three minutes to respond."

The War Moon also has a natural protective layer similar to the Earth's atmosphere. The twinkling stars gradually dimmed, as if they had closed their eyes. On the surface, V was talking to the air, but in fact his actions had already attracted the attention of the Trisolarans.

Every move and every word of V was recorded truthfully by Zhizi and sent to the top leaders of the Three-Body Civilization, without missing any details.

And V continued:

"We have the technology to move planets. We can leave here and find a new home before the solar system and the Trisolaran system are destroyed."

"In other words, the life and death of humans and Trisolarans depends on our thoughts. Even if the solar system and the Trisolaran system perish, it will not affect our survival."

"If you remain silent and refuse to talk, I will press this button when the time is up."

As soon as he finished speaking, V continued to induce him:

"Don't think about interfering with the signal tower's transmission with the sophon. In addition to the base behind me, there are more than a dozen signal towers hidden in the most secluded places, and they are all controlled by the button in my hand."

Of course, this is all false.

The Universal Corporation did not prepare too many signal transmission towers. V said this just to let the Trisolarans send all the intelligent sons as possible to the Moon of War to lure the other side to block the signal devices here.

As long as the five wise sons arrive, the plan will be accomplished!
