"The Trisolarans shouldn't have such technology. There's no evidence that they possess it. Taylor just thought that having this technology would make them seem alien enough, so he added it to the Trisolaran fleet," said the commander of the American fleet.

"But to put it another way, if we can master this technology, does it mean that the threat from the Trisolaran fleet will be greatly reduced in the future? An attack that can penetrate any material can only be defended against by releasing an opposite wave using the same technology, or like in the game, by hiding near a massive celestial body and relying on the gravitational pull of the celestial body to maintain the stability of spacetime," said the commander of the Asian fleet.

The gravitational wave weapon intrigued the commander of the Asian fleet, especially the black screen that could withstand the explosion of the sun at the end of the virtual war.

A black hole-level thing, the ultimate in physics. With that, what do they have to worry about with the Three-Body Problem?

The Trisolarans are also afraid of the sun exploding. If they can develop this technology first, their future battles with the Trisolaran fleet will be a sure thing.

"Mastering this technology is probably not an option," a scholar said with a wry smile, pouring cold water on the idea.

"why?"

The commander of the Asian fleet asked, puzzled.

The scholar replied, "Because this is 'magic' that defies reason. The principles that fit reality do not exist. The gravitational wave generator that SG Company provided to the Trisolaran fleet was merely a model and an addition of visual effects. It was just a complete three-dimensional module, an unbreakable technological black box."

“In reality, gravitational waves can be released as long as matter moves. However, these gravitational waves spread in all directions and will kill the operator before killing the enemy. Therefore, it is necessary to cancel out gravitational waves in other directions. At least five surfaces need to generate gravitational waves of opposite frequencies in order to weaponize gravitational waves.”

"Even so, it's impossible to manipulate gravitational waves with such precision. One-way gravitational wave weapons like those in games are like magic to humans."

"And gravitational waves like those in the game, which reach the energy level of a black hole and can even trap light inside for a short time, are magic within magic. That's equivalent to creating a planar event horizon without the aid of a mass singularity. This is something that can't be done just by having enough energy. It means that the materials of gravitational wave weapons can withstand the gravitational tearing of a black hole event horizon. Such materials are impossible to exist."

To put it bluntly, if you want to manipulate something at the level of a black hole, you first have to treat a black hole-sized mass point like a bowling ball.

This also involves the complex issue of counteracting gravity, ensuring that warships and people are not torn apart by the strong gravity of a black hole.

For gravitational wave weapons to be used, the prerequisite is that humanity can counteract gravity in other directions, thereby confining the release of gravity in a specific direction.

Otherwise, once a gravitational wave weapon is used, the operator will be the first to die, and it will be the one who suffers the most powerful gravitational wave.

Gravitational waves diffuse with increasing distance, and their power decreases as they spread. When they are first emitted, they can crush metal into powder, but after traveling more than ten astronomical units, they can only stir up the brain.

In any case, the current concept of gravitational wave weapons is beyond the reach of humankind; one could even say that what the Trisolaran fleet is using is 'magic'.

"Does that mean the Trisolaran fleet in the virtual exercise is a fleet that uses magic?"

After listening to the scholar's explanation, the high-ranking officers of the Space Force asked with some disappointment, "We really want to have this weapon. The Black Curtain defense system is something we covet."

“That’s one way to understand it.” The scholar nodded, but then added, “We already have an idea, and perhaps in the future, our descendants will be able to realize it.”

Chapter 129 The Future of ETO in the Kuiper Belt

The report on the outcome of the virtual war was presented to Lin Feng shortly after it ended.

Lin Feng was shocked by the final scene where the Trisolaran fleet detonated the sun and then erected a black curtain to forcibly withstand the sun's explosion.

It feels like waking up, opening the door, and seeing an old lady lifting a large truck to rescue her grandson who was trapped underneath.

Extremely impactful!

Especially in this era, information is presented in a three-dimensional form. Lin Feng zoomed in to observe the black curtain up close. Without reading the report's explanation, Lin Feng found it hard to understand how this thin, black thing, with no thickness whatsoever, could withstand the impact of the solar explosion.

Too strong!

The fact that the people in the Trisolaran fleet could come up with this is truly impressive!

"The Trisolaran fleet performed exceptionally well in this virtual war exercise, especially in the final stages..."

Lin Feng spoke to the stereoscopic projection of Domon William beside him, preparing to find an excuse to reward the person in the Trisolaran fleet who thought of using gravitational waves in this way.

In Lin Feng's opinion, anyone who could come up with this idea was a genius. The black curtain represented more than just a barrier to prevent the sun from exploding; Lin Feng saw what it represented behind the scenes.

Mimicking black holes!

The singularity inside a black hole stretches spacetime infinitely, forming the event horizon.

In other words, even without a singularity, as long as spacetime can be stretched infinitely, an event horizon can still be formed.

The essence of an event horizon is a manifestation of a spacetime structure. In addition to the event horizon, there are also spacetime structures such as wormholes and two-dimensional foils.

Lin Feng couldn't see how the mimicry black hole technology would develop in the future, but he could roughly understand a concept.

Very strong!

“Yes, they did not disappoint you. They went a step further on the gravitational wave emission, creating a black curtain that could withstand a solar explosion,” Domon William said.

Lin Feng froze, turned his head, and saw Domon William looking at him with a kind of admiration.

The person was momentarily stunned, their mind not quite processing the information.

What?

What constitutes betraying trust?

Domon William continued, "Now, the Space Force leadership is paying close attention to gravitational waves, and everything is developing as you predicted."

Just as I expected!

Lin Feng, realizing what was happening, couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had no idea that gravitational wave technology could be developed like this. All he knew was that the Trisolarans possessed gravitational wave technology, and that's why they wanted humanity to have it too.

Even if you don't have one, you should at least have a basic understanding of gravitational waves.

The enemy used gravitational wave weapons to attack, and the human fleet was still dumbfounded, not understanding what kind of attack the enemy was using to kill them.

Part of the reason for the future war between the human fleet and the droplets is that the human fleet did not immediately figure out who the enemy was.

After Ding Yi's engineering ship was destroyed by the water droplet, no one in the human fleet suspected that the water droplet had destroyed the spaceship.

If it weren't for the later discovery of the water droplets through optical detection, the human fleet might have thought it was an internal conflict within the space force.

However, Domon William noticed Lin Feng's unusual behavior and continued talking at length.

“I took a look at the email you were browsing back then. You were thinking about black holes, right? If humanity can master the technology to simulate black holes, the Trisolaran fleet that will reach the solar system in the future, or even the Trisolarans themselves, will not pose much of a threat.”

...Fine, think whatever you want.

Lin Feng gave up on explaining. Whether he had thought about it or not was irrelevant. What mattered was that humanity had developed a desire for gravitational wave technology.

Once desire takes hold, one will naturally try to develop it and turn this technology into reality.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but want to thank the person who sent him the email.

Although Lin Feng was just looking for an excuse to draw attention to gravitational wave technology, it was truly remarkable that the person who sent the email could come up with something related to gravity.

During this time, Lin Feng continued to browse through many emails, but he couldn't find a single one related to 'strong interaction materials', nor was there any about neutrino technology.

Therefore, Lin Feng had no way to reasonably incorporate the two technologies that the Trisolarans had already mastered—strong interaction materials and neutrinos—into the virtual war.

"Speaking of which, who wrote that email? Did they manage to get the reward?" Lin Feng asked.

"This one……"

Seeing Dormon William's hesitant and embarrassed look, Lin Feng frowned and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Is there a problem? Let me tell you, the reward must be paid. I can't break my promise. Besides, the person who wrote that email has made a great contribution to all mankind in a sense."

“No, it was the email writer who refused to accept the payment,” Domon William quickly explained.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, and the only possibility that came to mind first was this.

"Is someone up to something?"

It's worth noting that Lin Feng's reward was a hundred billion US dollars and a small space city.

Especially the latter part of the compensation, the ownership of a space city, which is equivalent to directly granting a space kingdom.

Having power allows one to directly ascend to the top echelons of human society.

No matter how small a country is, it is still a country.

How many people wouldn't be tempted by the opportunity to become the king of a country?

Based on these reasons, Lin Feng's first thought was not his own unwillingness, but rather that he was being forced and dared not accept the reward that was rightfully his.

Domon William was not surprised that Lin Feng would ask such a question, assuming that he had similar thoughts from the beginning.

Domon William said, "We initially thought so too, but after further investigation, we found that it seems to be his own wish, and the people around him are very keen for him to claim the bounty."

The results of the investigation left Domon William somewhat amused and exasperated: the person who completed the bounty was unwilling to accept the reward, yet those around him tried various ways to persuade him to accept it.

These people were all counting on him to achieve enlightenment and bring prosperity to their families.

And those with more distant connections, such as the mayor of the city where the bounty hunter resides.

These people wouldn't harbor any ill will towards those who complete the bounty; they'd be too busy currying favor to possibly have any malicious intent.

These officials are all very shrewd. They naturally know that the receipt of the reward must go through layers of review. Moreover, since Lin Feng issued the reward, anyone who tries to take it must be prepared to lose their life.

After hearing Domon William's answer, Lin Feng leaned back in his chair.

"Since he's a rather eccentric person, let's keep the reward for now and give it to him whenever he wants it."

"Ok."

……

On the other hand, the ETO organization also learned about the inside story through virtual warfare.

In particular, they knew that humanity's application of gravitational waves originated from an email sent by a member of their organization.

This is undoubtedly very bad news.

Inside a United Nations building in the Three-Body game world, ETO members took their seats, but the only one not seated was the author of the email.

"Look what you've done!"

"I didn't expect this to happen. Who would have thought that Feng Taylor's purpose in issuing the bounty was this..." The author of the email tried his best to defend himself.

The ETO executives in their seats, burning with anger, interrupted the author's explanation.

"It was because of your email that humanity began to take gravitational wave technology seriously. If we could actually recreate the kind of black screen in the game that could withstand a solar explosion, do you know what that would mean?"

"That means that extreme celestial bodies like black holes will become toys for humanity to play with! What an incredibly stupid thing you've done!"

When the ETO executives saw the covert tactics used by the Trisolaran fleet in the later stages of the virtual war, their feelings were the exact opposite of Lin Feng's; they felt an overwhelming sense of fear.

The ETO executives also recognized the black hole simulation technology.

If future humans master the technology to simulate black holes, how will the Trisolaran fleet fight?

The writer hurriedly defended himself: "But, but even without me, someone else would have brought it up; I'm not the only one in the organization who participated in the bounty..."

"Shut up!"

When the author mentioned this, the ETO members present immediately became excited.
