Chapter 443 The Trisolarans' Shock

Through the porthole of the Quantum of the Seas, Ding Yi kept taking in the sights of the fleet outside.

Although he was a human who came to the Crisis Era many years ago through hibernation technology, he carried a strong sense of vitality.

Xizi, a fleet member who was following him, curiously observed this "old relic" from the past.

Despite being an elderly man, his every move exuded strength and vitality, making him more energetic than many young people.

"Mr. Ding, you seem to be in very good spirits today."

The investigator in charge of assisting with the work, "Xizi," smiled and said from the side:

"You looked so worried yesterday. It seems you're now aware of the enormous gap between our human fleet and the Trisolarans."

"We told you long ago not to worry. Our fleet is now capable of reaching 15% of the speed of light, so we no longer need to worry about a Trisolaran invasion."

"Yes...right?" Ding Yi smiled obliviously.

Just as the girl said, he showed no trace of the sorrow he had a few days ago, and his expression carried a hint of the rebelliousness he had shown in his youth.

He was on an external communication channel at the moment, so he didn't say much.

Having joined the chat group, he naturally knew what the Trisolaran probe, known in human society as the "droplet," was.

Made of materials with strong interaction forces, its technical difficulty is no less than that of using a set of connecting rods to fix the sun and the eight planets into a stationary truss.

If things continue in this order, he will die, and only a few of the 2000-ship human fleet will escape.

Until the logic from the Common Era came into play, all of humanity was under the shadow of destruction.

Unfortunately, everything is different now.

A hint of emotion flashed in Ding Yi's eyes as he sensed the vibrant power hidden beneath this seemingly aged body.

This is the power to change one's destiny.

Change your own destiny, and you will change the destiny of humanity.

At this point, the Mantis had successfully captured the water droplet.

Its perfect, work-of-art-like shape and absolutely smooth surface captivated everyone watching the live stream, making them marvel at the connection between the Trisolarans and the human realm of art.

All four members of the expedition team, including Ding Yi, were wearing lightweight flight suits.

After receiving clear instructions from the fleet, they flew through the docking hatch in zero gravity and entered the Mantis, which was capturing water droplets.

Upon seeing the water droplet, Xizi exclaimed, "It's practically a tear from the Virgin Mary."

This statement directly resonated with a broad consensus within human society during the live stream, who felt that the Trisolarans also possessed "love" just like humans.

Ding Yi remained silent and made no comment, but compared to what he was about to do, it would cause a huge uproar among humans or the Trisolaran fleet.

Thinking of this, he looked to his right, but there was nothing there... huh?

In Ding Yi's line of sight, there was a particle with a diameter of less than one nanometer.

From the beginning, they made a regular circling around the four of them, making Ding Yi feel like she was being treated like a monkey in a zoo.

That was the culmination of the highest command of the Trisolaran world, the "Sophon".

At this moment, the Trisolarans being observed by Sophon were all startled by this sudden eye contact.

Since there were no secrets among the Trisolarans, they all sensed each other's surprise.

"Has he discovered us?"

One observer raised a surprised question, only to immediately contradict himself:

"That's impossible. Sophons are less than one nanometer in size, comparable to elementary particles, and are simply impossible to detect with the naked eye."

"This is absolutely just a coincidence, Observer 226. You need to get psychological counseling after today's mission. You've been too influenced by the myths and fantasies of human society."

The Trisolaran leader standing nearby said, "You actually had a momentary illusion that you could distinguish elementary particles with the naked eye."

"Yes, Your Excellency." The observer lowered his head, feeling absurd about his earlier conjecture.

"Now, let us witness the ugliness of human society," the leader said. "Let humanity drown in its own arrogant fantasies."

"Remember, once the weapons are activated, no fleet should be left alive. At the same time, completely block the signals from the solar system. The destroyed star system next door has already verified the correctness of the Dark Forest Theory."

"Yes, Führer," the Trisolarans around him replied.

The perspective shifts back to Ding Yi. The lieutenant colonel gestures for Ding Yi to step forward, urging, "Dr. Ding, we don't have much time."

Because of the internal power struggle, the first person to come into contact with the water droplet must be Ding Yi, an ordinary person.

Ding Yi nodded seriously, and then slowly approached the water droplet in the weightless outer space environment.

Looking at the creation before him, Ding Yi touched the water droplet with his gloved right hand, marveling at the generational gap between the two civilizations in terms of technology and mentality.

The lieutenant colonel standing nearby was astonished: "You can't feel any friction at all; the surface of the water droplet is too smooth."

"Because it's made of a strong interaction material, it's more than a hundred times stronger than the hardest substance in the solar system," Ding Yi said with emotion, no longer hiding anything.

At this moment, he doesn't need a high-tech microscope to magnify his work ten million times for research.

The sheer terror of this water droplet's microscopic appearance is evident to the naked eye.

"What! Strongly Interacting Materials!"

The colonel was astonished, while countless human scientists watching the live broadcast were shocked by the technological gap, and at the same time, they thought of the monolith in 2001.

Ding Yi stopped answering and instead said to himself, "I have come to a conclusion from my short life: the capabilities of technology have limits."

"The more you blindly believe in technology, the more you will be conquered by more powerful technology, so I am trying to change my path."

The three members of the expedition team, and indeed all of human civilization, were dumbfounded. What on earth was this old man, who had dedicated his life to scientific research, saying?

"Old Ding, stop talking nonsense." Xi Zi handed over the geological hammer, but Ding Yi gently brushed it away.

"No need for such external things," Ding Yi said slowly.

During the conversation, his muscles bulged, as if they were constantly inflating and getting bigger.

"Snap! Snap! Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

Amidst the collective shock of the expedition team, the Trisolaran civilization, and human civilization.

The spacesuit binding Ding Yi was stretched and torn apart by his bulging muscles.

As his upper body suit was damaged, Ding Yi transformed in the blink of an eye from a gaunt old man into a muscular, white-bearded strongman with large muscles all over his body.

"What is this?!" Everyone was completely stunned, their previous worldviews were completely overturned.

An old man suddenly became young again in front of all of them, and his muscles bulged out to be larger than the breasts of most girls.

Ding Yi, in his muscular, devilish form, said, "Right now, all I can rely on is this body that has been tempered and refined through countless trials."
