The giant corporations that started from Night City

As time goes by, the counterattack of the giant corporations on the Three-Body System becomes more and more intense. Many people are curious about what measures the giant corporations will take to deal with the Three-Body people.

But whether it is war or peace, there is one thing that must be taken into consideration.

That is, the Trisolaran system is 4.2 light years away from the solar system. Even if we use a light speed engine to reach the Trisolaran home planet, it will take at least four or five years.

This period of time is neither long nor short. After all, it took only three years for humans to go from having 1,300 warships destroyed by a drop of water to having less than 700 warships to destroy nine drops of water in turn.

But now the Three-Body World is in the stage of Renaissance and technological explosion, and four years may be enough for their technological level to advance to another level.

What's more, with the current speed of human star-class warships, it would take at least two thousand years to reach the Trisolaran system from the solar system.

Such a long time left no time to contact or communicate with the Trisolarans.

The best way seems to be to remain silent and not have any form of communication with the Three-Body Civilization.

Just when people were worried that time would change the advantages of the world's giant companies, Li Ang had already asked the Science Hub to make a series of preparations.

……

Five years later.

At the edge of the solar system, near Pluto, the Science Hub secretly completed a top-secret large-scale celestial engineering project a year and a half ago.

As the most remote and little-known area in the solar system, Pluto is really inconspicuous. Just like its name, people's impression of it is still cold, desolate and lifeless.

But precisely because Pluto is located in a remote location and faces outside the solar system, it is also the best transportation hub for leaving the solar system and is very suitable as the gateway to the solar system.

What the giant corporation of the universe needs to do is to use wormhole technology to create a simplified version of the "star gate" here!
When Luo Ji followed Paul on the spaceship and arrived near Pluto, he was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

I saw a huge, blurry celestial body hanging near Pluto. It had an extremely smooth arc shape. Everything inside was pulled by a strong gravity, and space and matter were constantly changing.

At first Luo Ji thought this thing was a small black hole, but after looking at it carefully, he found that it was not a black hole, but some kind of "door" that could transmit matter.

"When did a wormhole appear here?" Luo Ji was a little confused. No one has ever seen what a wormhole looks like, and many people think it is something that only exists in theory.

It is still hard to say whether it exists in the real universe.

"Did you come to this universe through this wormhole?"

Luo Ji looked at Paul inquiringly.

"On the contrary, it was because we came here that this wormhole appeared. It was the portal we built."

Paul Atreides answered truthfully that this was an engineering plan proposed by Archon Leon himself, to build a wormhole using dark matter and high-dimensional wormhole technology, so as to quickly reach various parts of the Milky Way.

With a wormhole, the Universe Corporation can quickly reach Centaurus and will not be targeted by other advanced civilizations because of the traces left by superluminal travel.

"Since you can create a wormhole in such a short time, why do you target such tiny species as humans and Trisolarans?"

Luo Ji couldn't figure out what the Universal Corporation was trying to do. An advanced civilization of the size of the Universal Corporation shouldn't be interested in an ant-like civilization like theirs.

Even though they are all human.

"Our goal has always been simple, which is to unify the universe. It's just that you and the Trisolarans are the most promising low-level civilizations. Time will allow you to develop into a god-level civilization."

"That's why we are so interested in you."

Paul smiled and took Luo Ji to meet with the staff of the Science Hub.

There, Luo Ji met a group of cutting-edge scientists from giant companies.

The two sides had a brief meeting, and Luo Ji again asked about how the wormhole was created.

Under normal circumstances, the mass and gravity of a wormhole are also extremely huge. Although it cannot compare to a black hole, it is also terrifying enough. At least it is so close to Pluto that it will inevitably have some impact on it.

But the weird thing is that the wormhole seems fake, just hanging in the space, and there is still no visible mass or gravity affecting the surroundings.

In this regard, Ott Cunningham gave an explanation: "Strictly speaking, this is not a wormhole in the traditional sense. It is a projection from high-dimensional space to low-dimensional space based on the theory of unified field equations."

"All gravity happens inside it, not outside it."

When mentioning the unified field equations, Ott Cunningham exclaimed repeatedly that she had never seen such a beautiful equation. The equation theory written by Li Ang himself perfectly made up for the shortcomings of the giant company in the field of high-dimensional wormholes.

Of course, this equation comes from the "Interstellar" universe and is a reward that Li Ang drew early on.

The wormhole in "Interstellar" is actually a celestial body created by future humans using the unified field equations in order to help humans get out of their predicament.

Now is the perfect time to create this kind of secret wormhole.

After listening to Ott Cunningham's explanation, Paul quickly remembered something and asked:

"Can this universe actually support superluminal folding? Aren't you afraid of exposing your tracks?"

Luo Ji obviously has not fully realized the difference between this wormhole and a regular wormhole.

Soon, Ott answered his question again: "This universe is indeed unable to perform hyperspace jumps to complete superluminal travel, so this wormhole is not a hyperspace channel, but a high-dimensional space."

In the universe of "The Three-Body Problem", the limit of the conventional universe is the speed of light. To achieve superluminal speed while keeping it secret, one can only rely on high-dimensional space.

Civilizations that can freely enter and exit high-dimensional space are basically god-level civilizations, and they will hardly cause trouble for each other.

Because the development of the Three-Body Universe has long passed the era of the war of gods with a hundred schools of thought, and now it is a cruel era of stock, and all the great civilizations are busy plundering matter to create small universes.

Their main mission is to dismantle the higher-dimensional space, eliminate other weak civilizations as soon as possible, and plunder more resources.

It would be the most irrational behavior to get involved in a long and futile tug-of-war with other advanced civilizations.

This is like the seven kingdoms during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, which prioritized eliminating weak and small countries to avoid direct confrontation with other powerful countries.

What's more, the traversable range of this wormhole built by the giant enterprise is not very wide, only 100 light years, which is nothing in the vast Milky Way.

The possibility of encountering other advanced civilizations is also low.

Luo Ji seemed to be thinking about something. As the two sides continued to communicate, he gradually understood the general situation of the "Three-Body" universe.

After learning that the universe was dying, Luo Ji could not calm down for a long time.

He realized a very critical problem, that is, the small universes that were dug out of the Three-Body Universe might have been separated from the Three-Body Universe forever. They made the universe seriously hollow, and only death was the final way out for the universe.

Is there really any point for a global giant to unify this dying universe?

"Here we are."

While everyone was talking, the spaceship had approached the huge dark matter wormhole. The giant enterprise fleet that had gone ahead had already passed through the wormhole, and they followed the troops behind and slowly passed through.

At this moment, the spacecraft seemed to have fallen into a completely dark and silent abyss, and they were entering the surface of the wormhole.

The moment of entering the depths of the wormhole, the powerful gravitational force is like a stretched slingshot, launching the spacecraft from low dimension to high dimension, infinitely shortening the long three-dimensional space distance.

Luo Ji saw countless distorted lights and lines in the ever-changing high-dimensional space. In their eyes, the entire universe was bent into an extremely narrow and long channel.

The Trisolaran Galaxy, which was once out of reach, now seems to be within reach with just a lift of the foot.

"Centaurus has arrived."

Ott Cunningham smiled slightly. This was the infinite convenience brought by technology. According to the fastest sailing speed of the star-class battleships, it would take them at least two thousand years to reach the Three-Body System.

But with a higher-dimensional wormhole, they can reach their destination in just a moment.

At this moment, Luo Ji was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened.

The feeling of entering a higher-dimensional space was extremely wonderful. He saw countless stars become dots on the map, shrinking into a universe the size of a room. Everything became incredibly small.

They walked in this high-dimensional space, which was quite similar to the ancient myth of shrinking the earth into an inch.

When Luo Ji expressed such a fantastic idea, Ott Cunningham acted unsurprised and nodded calmly, saying: "The pastoral era of the Three-Body Universe is likely to be like the mythological era."

"This technology of entering and exiting high-dimensional space is only the most basic thing for a god-level civilization. Their super-speed of light can be even faster than this."

Luo Ji was a smart scientist, so he could certainly understand these explanations. When he thought of the pastoral era of the Three-Body Universe, he suddenly felt a pang of regret.

Perhaps Adam and Eve were destined to leave the beautiful Garden of Eden, just as the Three-Body Universe was bound to die.

Rise and fall is an inevitable law.

Thanks to the convenient navigation provided by the wormhole, the expeditionary force of the Universal Corporation reached the Three-Body System in less than a week.

The Hyperion, which was traveling at full speed, and the two Trisolaran spacecraft that were going back to report the situation had only arrived here less than three days ago.

Everything clicked just right.

The moment you enter the Three-Body Galaxy, the first thing that catches your eye is the three extremely dazzling fireballs.

Unlike the Centaurus in other universes, the Centaurus in other universes is composed of a pair of binary stars and Proxima Centauri, and its motion trajectory is regular, simple and stable.

Therefore, it is also suitable as an area for colonial development.

But in the Trisolaran Galaxy in the Centaurus constellation of the Trisolaran Universe, the three stars are constantly changing strange arcs between the galaxies like monsters.

Even if the Infinite Divine Machine came, it would be impossible to calculate where the next trajectory of the Three-Body Planet would go.

The consequence of this would most likely be that the Trisolarans would see different numbers of suns rising from different directions every day.

Such strange changes also created the hell-like Three-Body Galaxy. The Three-Body people once had ten homes, but these planets were swallowed up one by one by three stars.

As the only child left, life was not easy.

From time to time, the Three-Body Planet would experience several months of long, cold nights, or years of severe drought.

But these are all pretty good days.

When three suns appear at the same time, the entire earth will be burned like an iron plate by the high temperature, the flowing magma will flood everything, and the entire Three-Body Planet will become a cruel doomsday.

The Three-Body Civilization was born in such a changing environment.

After experiencing more than two hundred destructions and rebirths, the thinking of the Trisolarans has become fixed, numb and indifferent.

This is because rich and delicate biological emotions are only suitable to be born in a stable and safe environment.

In this crisis-ridden galaxy, having rich emotions is a natural flaw that will only cause them to fall into endless pain and suffering.

This is why the Three-Body Civilization is so obsessed with occupying the solar system. Compared with the ever-changing Three-Body Galaxy, the stable solar system is simply the best.

The alternation of cold and hot seasons is regular, the sun rises and sets steadily, and the four seasons are distinct.

This is clearly the Creator's extremely deliberate favor.

How can human beings have such a beautiful home?

Not long after, the first expeditionary force of the Universal Corporation locked onto the Three-Body Planet.

There are eight planets in the solar system, but this one is the only one left in the Three-Body System.

This is because the other planets had already been swallowed up one by one by the Three-Body Star. At this moment, the three stars were like fireballs that followed closely, constantly moving with the weak and helpless Three-Body Star.

Perhaps in the next second, this civilized species will die by being swallowed by its own star.

"It is hard to imagine that the Trisolarans have managed to survive in such a harsh environment until now."

Luo Ji looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He realized that there was a satellite near the Three-Body Planet.

Judging from visual observations, the satellite was most likely torn apart by the movement of the stars!
In fact, think about it, the three irregularly moving stars will inevitably get extremely close to the Three-Body Planet at one time, and the tidal force generated by the Roche limit will ruthlessly tear the Three-Body Planet apart.

The final result was that a piece of the Three-Body Planet was bitten off, and the two irregularly shaped parts, under the influence of their own gravity, turned into ellipsoids again after a long period of time.

This doomsday-like prehistoric upheaval has been deeply hurting the Trisolarans, telling them that death can come at any time, perhaps tomorrow, or perhaps next month, and they will be torn apart by the gravity of the star.

In order to ensure the safety of the fleet, V only sent a part of the advance team to approach this precarious planet.

Just as they expected, the Trisolarans had put in all their efforts to invade the solar system. They didn't even have many orbital defense facilities, let alone any decent space fleet stationed there.

Sophon, Waterdrop, the Trisolaran fleet has drained most of the Trisolaran civilization's resources. Just maintaining internal stability is already quite tight, so how can there be any extra resources to build an orbital defense system? (End of this chapter)
