Chapter 153 Knowledge Sealing Criteria
"Then why hasn't the universe been destroyed yet?" the Russian president couldn't help but ask.

The risk mitigater stopped crying and said, "The current expansion rate of the universe exceeds the speed of light. Destructive events based on the speed of light cannot threaten the entire universe for the time being, but the universe cannot expand forever... In any case, minimizing the occurrence of disasters like vacuum decay is what we are trying to do."

Without a doubt, the Risk Reavers were a great civilization, judging solely by their actions.

But Ding Yi simply couldn't empathize with the other person.

"Can you return Einstein's equator to humanity? Even if we don't conduct the creation experiment, we still need it to break the technological blockade imposed by the Sophons. Since you don't interfere with the war between humanity and the Trisolarans, then please don't hinder us. You can take these grasses back."

Ding Yi knew that within fifty years, humanity would absolutely not be able to rebuild Einstein's equator, and they had to find a way to get the accelerator back.

“I can’t do that.”

The risk remover shook his head: "Allowing you to build the Einstein Equator is already my limit. I have to eliminate all risks... and you are not allowed to conduct similar 'creation' experiments in the future. I will not pursue what you did before I appeared, but after I appeared and clearly told you that this is not allowed, if you still insist on doing it, you will be punished by me."

As he spoke, the Risk Eliminator subdued a sophon that was flashing at the speed of light and forcibly expanded its six-dimensional structure: "This statement also applies to the Trisolaran civilization. From now on, you are no longer allowed to build accelerators at the level of 'Einstein's Equator,' understand?"

The captured Zhizi replied: 【Understood!】

The risk remover let go, and Zhizi swiftly shrank back to 11 dimensions, fleeing the area in terror.

This scene left everyone speechless.

Only Luo Qing vaguely sensed the truth behind the capture of the Sophon... The Risk Remover had almost solidified all the microscopic particles in that area, a level of solidification far exceeding that of quarks... In this eternal freeze, the Risk Remover used its 'hands' to pick out the Sophon, just like a human using chopsticks to pick up a mosquito that was still in mid-air...

This terrifying thing is actually just a... working sensor?

Are there nearly 3 million more sensors like this?

Luo Qing felt a chill run down her spine.

The White Emperor's Holy Sword also witnessed this scene and transmitted its voice to Luo Qing.

"Sword Master, call for reinforcements, he's a bit scary..."

"Whom should we shake?"

"The King of Shaking People".

"Nonsense, if I could just shake him out, would I be here acting like a grandson?" Luo Qing's nascent soul rolled its eyes.

"How will you know if you don't try."

"Get out, get out, get out." Luo Qing threw the White Emperor Holy Sword back into the quantum world.

After giving instructions to the Trisolaran civilization, the risk mitigater said to Ding Yi:
“I know this has disrupted the balance of the war between you. After all, Einstein’s equator can indeed break the blockade of a few sophons. My risk-mitigation actions are not entirely fair to you. Therefore, you can ask me for another form of compensation.”

“Okay, then tell me the universal formula.” Ding Yi said this quickly, before the leaders of various countries could react.

Ding Yi knew that his actions were selfish. This answer would only satisfy his own desires and would cause humanity to miss a crucial opportunity. Sure enough, the group of heads of state began to stir.

"I'm sorry, due to the 'knowledge sealing rule,' I cannot tell you," the risk mitigater quickly replied.

Ding Yi was taken aback.

"What is the 'Knowledge Sealing Criterion'?" Luo Qing asked.

The risk-taker said, "One of the highest principles of this universe is roughly this: no civilization is allowed to pass on any technological content to a lower-level civilization. If humanity is in the era of classical mechanics, then I cannot discuss modern physics with you. If your exploration of the microscopic world is limited to the atomic level, then I cannot discuss the structure of the atomic nucleus with you. This applies to all knowledge, including the unified formula of the universe."

Ding Yi felt the world suddenly turn gray: "But you just restricted us from conducting ultra-high-energy particle experiments. If you don't tell us either, doesn't that mean humanity will never be able to obtain the unified formula of the universe?"

“Intelligent life always has many regrets, and this is just one of them.” The risk reliever forced a smile. “Physicist, I’m sorry.”

Ding Yi stood there, utterly dejected, as if he had lost his parents.

The risk-taker looked toward the UN Secretary-General.

Do you require any other compensation?

"Please wait a moment, this may require some discussion." The UN Secretary-General turned around, and a large group of heads of state and leaders of supranational organizations quickly gathered together. This was the first time they had held such a hasty international meeting.

The sophon, fixed in a six-dimensional expansion, hopped and skipped into this small group of elite humans, displaying a line of text in a fawning manner.

[Could the Risk Eliminators help us solve the Trisolaran problem? The Trisolaran civilization is willing to immediately withdraw its First and Second Fleets and, through sophons, transmit a large amount of scientific and technological knowledge back to Earth as a token of gratitude.]

The US president's white-stockinged calf shot through the air and was kicked far away.

This is humanity's second macroscopic attack on the sophon. While world leaders discussed how to maximize the benefits of this 'compensation,' scientists surrounded the risk-takers.

A physicist asked, "Let's not ask questions like the grand unified formula for the universe. Can we ask some simpler questions instead? For example, how can we build an effective defense system in the solar system to win a war?"

The risk-taker gently shook his head.

The physicist asked, "Can't we even say that?"

The risk-taker said, "Given humanity's current level of technological development, your probability of winning the war against the Trisolaran civilization is... zero. Therefore, discussing defense systems is meaningless."

"Nonsense." Luo Qing sneered.

"I didn't count you," the risk remover quickly added.

The expressions on the faces of the physicists immediately became quite varied.

One biologist said, "Then let's ask something practical, unrelated to science: how did the dinosaurs become extinct?"

The risk assessor continued to shake his head: "The question is invalid and cannot be answered."

The biologist's eyes widened: "What do you mean the problem is invalid?"

"You can look up papers from fifty years ago; someone has already come up with the answer, although he died alone and miserable." The risk-taker then flashed his characteristic, insincere smile.

The biologist felt a little confused.

One applied physicist said, "My research focuses on materials mechanics. Can you tell me what the next direction of development in materials mechanics is? Nanomaterials are nearing their end."

The risk-taker shook his head again: "I'm sorry, this also involves the knowledge sealing principle."

The scientists then bombarded the risk-taker with a barrage of random questions, but the person either shook their head or smiled, offering almost no answers to what they were looking for.

Except for that chemistry expert who asked what to eat tonight.

The risk-taker's answer was: "I think scrambled eggs with tomatoes is pretty good."

Finally, someone asked the first valid question of the session: "When did you begin monitoring us? During the Planck era?"

The risk-taker shook his head.

"The Newtonian era?"

The risk-taker continued to shake his head.

"The time of Aristotle?"

The risk-taker was still shaking his head.

"Tell us the answer. You can't expect us to be watching from above the Earth as soon as humans climb down from the trees, can you?"

“Even earlier than that,” the risk remover explained, his hand gently manipulating the nearby microscopic particles, which instantly shaped them into the desired form and reflected different colors under sunlight, thus creating a stable, ultra-clear image with a resolution of tens of billions (molecular level).

“I started working 300 million years ago. According to your geological timeline, that was the Carboniferous period. I witnessed the formation and disappearance of the coal seams underground in Taiyuan.” The hazard remover revealed a satisfied smile:
"I watched you all grow up."

Everyone stared at him in horror.

“Three hundred million years ago…that’s a bit too early,” Luo Qing’s voice came through.

“It’s getting late, Mr. Wallfacer.” The Risk Remover referred to this special individual as ‘Wallfacer.’ “You don’t know, when I was first dispatched to the solar system in the corner of the Milky Way, I was really shocked when I saw Earth. I’m too late. I should have arrived here in the Cambrian or Ordovician period. In this long period of time, civilizations could suddenly appear at any time.”

The scene was sped up hundreds of millions of times, with the dinosaur era flashing by in an instant. Because the scene changed so quickly, no one could see the prosperous dinosaur city clearly, but Luo Qing did see it for a moment, and he was obviously stunned.

Luo Qing now wants to dig up King Wen's tomb immediately and tell him this good news.

The camera focuses on two naked, hairy ape-men. The male ape-man is walking with his arm around the female ape-man. The camera is at eye level, and the female ape-man has clearly seen the photographer. She has her mouth slightly open, seemingly surprised. The male ape-man is walking in another direction, and the camera is still on this moment.

The risk-taker said, "This was taken 370,000 years ago, which is almost like yesterday for me. At that time, I was in the form of a mirror. They passed the mirror test, and I sounded the alarm for myself, thus entering the high-risk detection stage. This is the second time in nearly 300 million years that I have entered the high-risk detection stage."

"As it turns out, my judgment was correct."

The camera pans out from the Earth-Moon Lagrange point, offering a bird's-eye view. On the Earth's blue and white curved surface, countless silver spacecraft crisscross like stars, while city clusters shimmer with golden light against the night sky.
“In the blink of an eye, you’ve all developed into this.”
