Shining beams of energy burst out from inside the metal wall. It was Sophon's attempt to break through the blockade of the metal trap.
But no matter how hard she tried, the metal cage still bound her tightly, leaving her no chance to escape.
"It's useless. This is a cage that Professor Wang Miao made for you personally. You can't escape."
Diaz sneered, then set the location coordinates of the current trap on his power armor.
At the same time, in space, the Gravitational Spacecraft, which had been in Earth orbit, quickly received the location information sent by Diaz.
With the authorization of Captain Movovich, the entire battleship began to slowly adjust the direction of its main guns, aiming to charge the earth.
Nowadays, human warships have been upgraded for more than one generation, and the power of Gravitation's main gun has been improved by more than one level.
Once the ship's main guns are used, it will cause a near-devastating blow to the surface of the planet.
But now everyone no longer cares about so much. As long as they can kill Tomoko, destroying one or two cities is worth it.
There was no sound in the vacuum, but the main gun of the Gravity was gradually accumulating energy, and a small blue sun lit up at the muzzle of the main gun.
The next second, a blue beam of light reaching the sky burst out from the Gravity and headed straight for the Earth.
In an instant, the entire city, with the metal cage where Tomoko was located as the center, was shrouded in the blue light of the main gun.
Countless buildings were instantly crushed into dust in a matter of tenths of a second. The terrifying destructive power caused all nearby detection equipment to emit a series of shrill alarms.
"go!"
After setting the coordinates, Diaz took Luo Ji and the others and flew away early. Such a long distance was already beyond the destructive range of the main gun.
When the light of Gravity's main gun disappeared, all that was left was a bottomless sinkhole.
"solved?"
Looking at the completely destroyed city in the distance, Diaz couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Ever since he had a fight with Tomoko a few years ago and the other party easily escaped, Diaz has been looking for an opportunity to kill this troublesome guy.
And now, the opportunity has come. With Vader's authorization, we can finally use battleship main guns, weapons of mass destruction, on Earth.
Anyway, Wade had done the same thing before, and after the people found that condemning Wade was useless, they developed an adaptive habit.
"Cheng Xing, count the casualties."
Diaz knocked on the AI module built into the power armor and asked Cheng Xing's subroutine to calculate how much compensation the Ground Alliance would have to pay for this shot.
Soon, AI presented a detailed battle damage report to everyone.
Looking at the string of zeros behind the compensation amount, Luo Congmin felt his breathing stop instantly.
"Why so many?"
Upon hearing this, Diaz spread his hands helplessly.
"Be content, Mr. President. If Vader hadn't evacuated 99% of the Earth's population, this cannon would have destroyed more than just these houses."
After hearing this, Luo Congmin was speechless for a moment and had to swallow his anger.
This time the Ground Federation is going to bleed heavily, at least a whole year's finances will be directly drained out, but what can it do? After all, she was one of the instigators of this plan. She had previously thought that using the main gun of the Gravitation might cause a lot of damage.
But in order to ensure that Sophon can be destroyed, this is the only solution.
At this moment, looking at the reactions of the two, Luo Ji suddenly came to his senses. He looked at his daughter in shock.
"No, are you using me as bait to lure Tomoko to attack and kill me?"
The timing of Diaz's appearance was too coincidental, and the Gravitation and the underground traps seemed to have been set up in advance.
No matter how you look at it, this attack didn't seem like an accident at all. Instead, it was deliberately designed by someone with the purpose of using himself to expose Tomoko.
Seeing that his father had seen through the plan, Luo Congmin was too lazy to hide it and spoke frankly.
"Dad, Tomoko is much more cunning than you thought. The local police have investigated her countless times in the past two years, but they have no clues at all. Only the assassination of you can make her take the risk and try it out."
When Luo Ji heard this, he suddenly felt a headache.
"You are really my sweetheart. You took your own father's life to kill Tomoko. I just tried so hard to protect you. It turns out that I was the one who was fooled for a long time, right?"
An awkward smile appeared on Luo Congmin's face.
"Hey, you are the most successful wall-facer in the human race. How could my plan escape your eyes? I guess with your wisdom, you should have seen through my plan a long time ago. The reason you didn't expose it must be that you also want to cooperate with us to complete the bait operation, right?"
"Forehead……"
Luo Ji was speechless for a moment, he couldn't respond.
He did have a vague guess, but he didn't expect Luo Congmin to be so cruel and play with her own life. Wasn't she afraid that if Diaz came a little slower, she would die?
Seeing this, Diaz on the side tried hard to suppress the smile on his face and put on a stern face, but in fact he had already laughed out loud in his heart.
As a wallfacer, Luo Ji became the only one who succeeded in the wallfacing plan. Although Diaz admired him a lot, he also felt a little bit dissatisfied.
And now, it is quite interesting to see the strongest wall-facer in human history being humiliated.
Chapter 208: Acceptance of the Carbon-Based Federation
The 98th year of the Deterrence Era, 2313 AD.
The three-body mother planet.
The Trisolarian leader sat back at the conference table, his face gloomy.
At this time, the conference room was empty, with only the Three Body Head present. All other consuls did not attend this meeting.
This is not because the consuls are lazy, but because only the head of the Trisolarans is qualified to attend this meeting, and the rest of the Trisolarans do not even have the right to participate in this meeting.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, just when the Trisolaran leader was getting a little impatient, the display screen in front of him finally lit up, and the big fang of the Devourer civilization appeared on the screen again.
"Oh, you're on time. It looks like you're ready to welcome your new master."
The Trisolarian leader remained silent. He knew that there was no point in arguing with the brainless creature in front of him. He had communicated with Daya more than once in the past five years, and each time ended with the Trisolarian leader being pissed off.
"Is there finally a civilization in the Carbon-Based Federation willing to accept us?"
Daya laughed.
"Yes, poor fellows, you are just like a bunch of unwanted trash, pushed around by the councillors. In the end, it was the kind-hearted Kana people who were willing to take you in."
"The Kana people?" The Three-Body Leader frowned slightly.
To be honest, he was not too satisfied with the result.
He had learned the detailed information about this civilization before. Although it was a level 3 civilization, its overall strength was not too strong. If it were not for the limitations of the Three-Body Civilization itself, it would have easily reached the other party's technological level.
The Kana people were a civilization that joined the Carbon-Based Federation in its early days. Its superior was one of the twelve senators of the Carbon-Based Federation. The Trisolarans initially wanted to join and become a vassal civilization of a senator's civilization, but it was obvious that no senator's civilization was willing to accept the Trisolarans.
It’s not that they look down on the Three-Body Civilization, but to take over the Three-Body Civilization, they need to pick up their people one by one from the cosmic wonder formed by the three suns by spacecraft.
The cost of this is an astronomical figure, which completely exceeds the benefits brought by accepting the Three-Body Civilization.
Therefore, most of the parliamentarians do not want the Three-Body Civilization to become their vassal. After all, according to their understanding, the biggest advantage of the Three-Body Civilization is its extremely rapid technological development.
But once it becomes a vassal civilization, the dependency theory will perfectly suppress the entire civilization. This characteristic is equivalent to being directly abolished, and the attractiveness of the Three-Body Civilization to the major parliamentary civilizations will be greatly reduced.
The reason why the Kana people are willing to accept the Trisolarans is, first of all, because the biological forms of both sides are relatively similar. The Trisolarans can dehydrate, while the Kana people can change the form of their bodies and switch between gas, liquid and solid at will.
The second reason is that they are interested in the information that the Trisolarans have obtained during the two hundred years of their struggle with Earth civilization.
Everyone knows that there once was an advanced civilization that spread six descendant civilizations code-named "Earth" throughout the Milky Way, but the specific coordinates of these six Earths are unknown.
Now that the Trisolarans have been fortunate enough to encounter one of the Earths, when the Trisolarans join the Carbon-based Federation, they can obtain the specific coordinates of the Earth from the other party.
Once they successfully occupy the Earth and suppress the descendants of the advanced civilization on Earth, they will most likely gain the right to communicate with that advanced civilization.
Level 4 civilization has the ability to upgrade or reduce dimensions at will, but since the universe has fallen layer by layer and the dark forest attacks have become more frequent, Level 4 civilization is no longer allowed to upgrade dimensions at will and can only choose to reduce dimensions.
The same goes for civilizations above level 5.
Civilizations below level 4 do not have the ability to adjust dimensions at all. Even if they are lucky enough to be upgraded, they will be instantly crushed by higher civilizations.
Therefore, they are very curious about what dimension the advanced civilization behind the earth is in.
The universe is about to fall into a 3D universe, and the next is 2D. Is it possible to find a way to break through this limitation before it is completely reduced to 2D?
Chapter 209 Another Choice
In the end, the two sides finalized the plan for the migration of the Trisolaran civilization one year later.
At that time, the Carbon-based Federation will send out a transport fleet to wait for the arrival of the Three-Body Second Fleet in the outer layer of the nebula.
This is mainly because, once the Ark migration of the Three-Body Society begins, they will definitely choose to expose their coordinates with the Earth, giving a fatal blow to the Earth, an old rival that has been fighting the Three-Body civilization for nearly two hundred years.
By doing this, the arrival of the Dark Forest attack will be unknown, most likely on the first day, and most likely in the first year.
In fact, even if the coordinates are not announced, large-scale migration will attract the attention of advanced civilizations, and the track of the curvature spacecraft will announce the specific coordinates of the entire Three-Body Fleet to the universe like a guiding light.
Some advanced civilizations that have mastered the cosmic star map can launch another level of Dark Forest attack on the fleeing fleet along the track left by the fleet.
Therefore, the safest way is to start the Ark Project first, migrate the Trisolarans out of the mother planet on a large scale, and then wait for the Second Fleet to dock with the Carbon-based Federation's transport team, take the Trisolarans away and enter the jump mode, quickly leaving the nebula.
In this way, even if an advanced civilization discovers the traces of curvature drive left by the Ark Project, the tracking clues will be completely cut off when it reaches the star cluster.
It's like when the other party predicts that it will take you an hour to walk to a certain area, but you choose to take a taxi halfway. This will cause the other party to have a huge deviation in their calculation of your whereabouts, and can also avoid the dark forest attack that may come when you escape.
There are actually two most difficult points in the Ark Project.
The first is that the evacuation of the Trisolarans must not be made known to Earth civilization.
Once the Earth civilization learns in advance of the Trisolaran civilization's intention to evacuate, it is likely to start broadcasting before the Earth, causing its position to be exposed in advance, thus failing.
The second point is how the Trisolarans can completely prevent human civilization from escaping the solar system.
Once the broadcast is initiated and the Trisolaran civilization suffers a blow, then the Earth civilization will certainly follow the example of the Trisolarans and escape from the solar system.
They have the ability to do so, and the construction of the ring world will be completed in about a year. Once the human beings on Earth are not completely destroyed by the dark forest, they will definitely launch a crazy revenge on the Three-Body Civilization.
This potential hidden danger must be nipped in the bud.
Otherwise, even if the Trisolarans agree, the Carbon-based Federation will not agree.
The reason why the Carbon-Based Federation is willing to accept me is because I am not a threat at all. Once the suppression of the dependency theory is formed, the Trisolarans will never be able to turn over in their lifetime.
But if the Earth civilization also knows about the Three-Body Civilization, then in the future it is possible that the Earth civilization will grow into a civilization that is more terrifying than the Three-Body Civilization, or even the entire Carbon-Based Federation.
Then the entire Carbon-Based Federation will suffer a devastating disaster for sheltering the Three-Body Civilization.
So in order to avoid this risk, the Trisolarans can escape, but they must clean up their mess, otherwise the Carbon-based Federation will most likely go back on its word.
As for asking the Carbon-based Federation to attack Earth civilization to eliminate future troubles, the Trisolarans do not have that much face.
Rather than dealing with another civilization, the Carbon-Based Federation is more likely to abandon the Three-Body Civilization directly and try to broadcast the coordinates of the Three-Body Civilization to kill with a borrowed knife.
After thinking for a long time, the Three-Body Leader finally came up with a win-win solution.
"Tell Zhizi to spread the news to the people on Earth and tell them about the Black Territory."
The black domain is a security statement, a way to achieve eternal inescapability through self-castration, and to convey the message that one is safe to the outside world.
This is a way to resist the attack of the Dark Forest, but it is not an absolutely effective method. After all, some civilizations will still attack it even if they see the black area covering it.
For them, it's just a fun way to pass the time.
It's as easy as accidentally flooding an ant nest with water.
So this is one of the main reasons why the Trisolarans do not use the Black Domain to avoid attacks, because once they use it, it is equivalent to completely handing over their power of life and death to others to decide.
And now, under the impetus of Vader, the Earth is wholeheartedly building a ring world, preparing to gain the ability to leave the solar system at any time.
This is not what the Trisolarans want to see.
They must give humans a more convenient choice, making them hesitate and choose between the Black Domain and the Ring World.
As for what the other party will choose, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that once humans have a second choice, they will hesitate.
Therefore, the Trisolarans had already figured out how to curb human civilization.
If only the Ring World is told that they can escape, or if only the Black Domain is told, then Earth civilization will be safe. But if both are told, then humanity will inevitably have internal strife and conflict will break out again.
In the original plot, the Trisolarans did the same thing, which was to deliberately make humans hesitate. In fact, they didn’t care no matter what choice they made!
Because there is no such thing as a completely right path.
As long as you make the second choice, the destruction of humanity is almost inevitable.
