Chapter 41 Killing That Cultivator (Please continue reading)
In Zhizi's live broadcast.

The Three-Body Problem game.

Qin Shi Huang, Pope Gregory, Caesar, King Wen of Zhou, King Zhou of Shang, Victoria, and Kublai Khan stood together.

The pyramids that symbolized the Great Rift have disappeared. Under a huge bronze pendulum, seven people form a circle, the shadow cast by the pendulum just obscuring them. Six people occupy each corner of the hexagram, and in front of them is a live broadcast of a mirror sphere.

The ETO’s highest existing governing body, the seven-member Council, is located here.

"The situation is clear. The Lord cannot understand the secret contained in Luo Qing. The Lord has made it clear that he needs our help." As Qin Shi Huang spoke, he drew a circle on the ground with the bronze sword in his hand.

Inside the circle are four surviving Wallfacers, and outside the circle is the ETO logo.

Three sharp swords extend from the letters ETO, aimed at Ray Diaz, Bill Hines, and Luo Ji within the circle.

Pope Gregory added: "Mozi and Aristotle have made another step forward in breaking through the barrier. The end of Rediaz and Hines is not far away. As for Luo Ji, Copernicus and Ptolemy have joined forces. They are not pursuing breaking through the barrier, but only pursuing physically killing Luo Ji."

King Wen of Zhou stroked his beard and asked, "Are Copernicus and Ptolemy confident?"

Pope Gregory said, "Copernicus will spare no expense, and with Ptolemy's assistance, there is still a chance of success. Don't overestimate the PDC's security; after all, we have the assistance of the Sophon and the technical support of the Lord."

None of King Zhou, Victoria, or Kublai Khan spoke.

Qin Shi Huang pointed once again at the live broadcast screen in the center of the seven people with his ancient bronze sword and said:
"We are now facing: the fifth Wallfacer of the Wallfacer Project, a university professor fully supported by the five great nations, the first cultivator in human history, a superman who can traverse space with his physical body, a humanoid spaceship whose extreme speed exceeds the third cosmic velocity, the founder of the cultivation-themed entertainment trend, a supernatural being that the Lord cannot understand, a suspected individual representative of a third advanced civilization, a sword immortal who destroyed a sophon with his own power, and the strongest human in history—Luo Qing."

Caesar said, "There isn't enough room for so many people."

"The consul of the Roman Republic is quite humorous. I hope you can maintain your composure when the Senate invites you to a meeting." Qin Shi Huang imitated a pose from a fantasy movie, twirling his sword.

Caesar frowned slightly.

"Alright." The only woman in the group of seven spoke up. "No matter what we do, the Lord has given us the order to kill Luo Qing within 400 years, especially since Luo Qing is likely to have figured out Luo Ji's secret. This matter is urgent."

"My dear Queen of the British Empire, your words are easy to say, but how do you intend to kill her?"

Qin Shi Huang pointed to the various physical data of Luo Qing listed on the Zhi Zi screen.

“We are now discussing how to kill a ‘god’.”

Victoria said, "The Lord said that if the Trisolaran First Fleet can reach the solar system, with the strength of the Trisolaran fleet, it can easily annihilate Luo Qing."

Qin Shi Huang nodded: "Excellent, but when will the lord's fleet arrive?"

Kublai Khan interjected, "The Lord has already sent ten probes. The probes can travel at a maximum speed of 8.4% of the speed of light intermittently. It is expected that they will reach the solar system in more than a hundred years."

"So what now? We should discuss how to kill him. Killing a god is no easy task; one wrong move and your entire clan will be wiped out by the wrath of the gods."

"Qin Shi Huang," Caesar said unhappily, "how come you, like the people below, call Luo Qing a god?"

"Because I simply cannot regard someone who can traverse the universe as one of our own kind," Qin Shi Huang sighed.

Facing the six people before him, Qin Shi Huang said, "Evans, the one who broke through Luo Qing's defenses, once came to me privately. He suggested that the organization temporarily suspend all actions against Luo Qing until he finds Luo Qing's weakness."

"Failed wall-breaking people are worthless, Qin Shi Huang, you won't listen to that, will you?"

"Hehehe." Qin Shi Huang chuckled without saying a word.

The seven people held equal positions in the council, and none of them possessed the overwhelming power that Ye Wenjie or Evans had, so none of them could persuade the others.

Pope Gregory said, "400 years will pass in the blink of an eye. The organization of ETO may not last for 400 years, and it is even unknown whether ETO will still exist in 20 years. Therefore, what I mean is that we should try, no matter how difficult it is."

"Go try something."

"Kill that cultivator."

Qin Shi Huang made a gesture of invitation.

Queen Victoria began by saying, "Luo Qing is in space. This is a good opportunity. Shall we try using an intercontinental ballistic missile?"

Even without Qin Shihuang speaking, the other five people all showed a slight smile upon hearing this.

Women are always so naive.

As the only liberal on the council, Caesar controlled the peripheral military force of the ETO. He said, "First of all, we don't have intercontinental ballistic missiles, only two medium-range ballistic missile systems with a range of only 1500 km. The yield of our nuclear warheads is also limited, not much better than Hiroshima's Little Boy."

Pope Gregory said, "Use the little boy."

“His Holiness the Pope is still so interested in little boys,” Caesar laughed. “But the range of medium-range missiles is not enough to reach the space station, and launching a nuclear strike on the International Space Station means that we will completely break ties with the PDC. At that time, facing a full-scale attack from the PDC, I’m afraid none of you here can even guarantee your own safety.”

Everyone knows that the reason the PDC has allowed the ETO to survive until now is because they still hope to obtain more information about the Three-Body Problem from the ETO.

This is, after all, Earth's only source of information about the Trisolaran system.

But if ETO dares to do something big, PDC will show ETO what the blessings of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council really mean.

As I said before, if we can't deal with the Trisolarans, can't we at least deal with you? "Most importantly," Caesar paused, "according to the data recorded by the Sophon, Luo Qing's escape speed is enough to avoid any nuclear missile strike, unless we can predict his escape location, but that's almost impossible."

Just then, a line of text suddenly appeared on the mirror sphere: 【Macro fusion can be used】

"Macro-fusion?"

All seven of them had heard of the name of Macro Fusion to some extent. After all, in 2005, the global deterrence built by Macro Fusion successfully continued the nuclear deterrence peace after the Cold War and successfully made the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean calm down and abandon its hegemonic behavior.

Among the seven, King Wen of Zhou, who had some knowledge of physics, spoke up.

King Wen of Zhou, himself a physicist, hesitated and said, "My lord, after the sophons locked down the particle accelerator, it is no longer possible for mankind to obtain macro atoms, let alone create macro fusion explosions."

We can temporarily lift the Sophon's blockade of the particle accelerator.

Everyone was surprised.

"Lord, is killing Luo Qing more important than sealing off Earth's technology?"

Zhi Zi's answer silenced all seven: "He is constantly getting stronger."

Getting stronger and stronger?

Isn't this strong enough? Can it keep getting stronger?
Does this person not need to follow the law of conservation of energy?

Pope Gregory hesitated and said, "I have read all his movies and novels about cultivation. Our world should not have the concept of spiritual energy. Logically speaking, he should not be able to break through his so-called cultivation realm. Shouldn't his strength be constant?"

"You idiot! You believe everything he writes? Who knows if the information in those movies and novels is part of his plan?" Queen Victoria scolded.

Qin Shi Huang, however, remained calmer: "Your Majesty, are you sure Luo Qing is still getting stronger?"

[It has been confirmed that our world's researchers, through complex calculations and assessments, have reached this conclusion: his power level is increasing.]

"The growth rate?" Qin Shi Huang asked.

[As the curve grows, the average rate of increase gradually increases over time, and the function graph grows faster and faster.]

King Wen of Zhou translated: "Our strength is constantly growing, and the rate of growth is getting faster and faster."

"That's not scientific!" Qin Shi Huang said decisively, flicking his sleeve.

Caesar said quietly, "The fact that he exists is scientific. If we can't understand him, then we're just amateurs. We have to admit that."

The seven quickly reached a consensus to develop a comprehensive plan to kill Luo Qing as soon as possible.

"Macro-fusion technology doesn't need the Lord's help; I can obtain it myself," Qin Shi Huang, as a high-ranking member of the state, said with great confidence.

Pope Gregory asked King Wen of Zhou, "I don't know much about physics. Please tell me what the destructive principle of macro-fusion is. I seem to remember that macro-fusion explosions are only effective against electronic products?"

King Wen of Zhou then presented Ding Yi's theory and spoke eloquently:

"Macro-fusion is an upgraded version of 'macro-electron trapping' technology, which uses atoms at the macroscopic scale (such as macroscopic hydrogen atoms) as energy carriers. The electromagnetic pulse and energy radiation released during detonation can directly shatter the molecular bonds of matter."

Metals will soften like butter, concrete will instantly crumble into powder, and living organisms will be "vaporized" into a uniform plasma mist.

Furthermore, the attack range of macro-fusion is controllable, ranging from the scale of a building (hundreds of meters) to the scale of a continent (thousands of kilometers), and the energy release is "selective"—it can destroy only specific atomic structures of the target material, such as only damaging the sodium and potassium ion channels of human nerve cells, while preserving clothing and buildings. Destroying electronic components, as you mentioned, is just one method of macro-fusion attack.

King Wen of Zhou emphasized: "Most importantly, the macro fusion explosion spreads in the form of 'waves' at the speed of light, and Luo Qing cannot escape the range of the macro fusion explosion."

“A terrifying weapon,” Queen Victoria exclaimed. “We must find a way to seize a particle accelerator and capture as many macroatoms as possible through the collider before governments can react.”

King Zhou said, "I will go and formulate a plan... There must be a traitor within the organization, the plan must be implemented immediately the moment the organization announces it, without giving the PDC a chance to react."

King Wen of Zhou asked, "My lord, what is the theoretical maximum kill range of macro-fusion?"

The Trisolarans gave the seven a terrifying answer.

[If stellar-mass macroatoms could be captured, theoretically it could trigger an energy burst similar to a supernova, destroying the star system. However, this is almost impossible, as stellar-mass macroatoms are practically nonexistent.]

This answer far exceeds Ding Yi's judgment that 'macro-fusion' can cover the Eurasian continent, thus demonstrating that, in the theory of macro-fusion, the Trisolarans have also gone much further than humans.

"Comrades, let's go offline and study the specific action plan," Qin Shi Huang sighed.

"If fate smiles upon us and grants us a planetary-sized macro-atom, we can destroy the Earth ourselves without God's intervention."

The destruction of humanity has always been the core tenet of the Adventists.

Unexpectedly, the wise son severely criticized Qin Shi Huang:

Don't talk nonsense, we still need Earth!

Qin Shi Huang was stunned and speechless.
