"By the time the ball accelerates to one percent of the speed of light, it will have already exceeded the third cosmic speed."

"The probe has also escaped from the solar system and rushed into space."

"As for how people swing and hit the ball while fixed in mid-air, this is another technical problem.……"

"The small ball reached one percent of the speed of light and rushed out of the solar system.......After this, no external force is needed."

"Because as long as the route is calculated so that the ball is not caught by the gravity of other stars along the route, the ball can fly in a straight line."

"Disadvantages——"

"Just can't turn or slow down"

"You can only fly along one line like that"

"In other words, the point at which it will pass the Trisolaran fleet must be calculated. Before reaching this point, the route must be calculated so that it will not be affected by other stars in space."

The audience listened thoughtfully and nodded frequently.

:"Oh, it means that with the current aerospace capabilities, if you just swing it on the ground, you can't directly make the ball reach 1% of the speed."

:"So a layer of acceleration was carried out. Every time the ball reached a maximum speed, another force was given to it to let it continue to accelerate until it reached a speed of one hundredth."

:"hiss! Thinking about it this way, Cheng Xin is really powerful!"

:"If you can’t change the principle, just bypass it"

:"This really circumvents the principle!"

:"Acceleration step by step, so it’s called [Ladder Plan], tsk tsk, I understand!"

:"The role of Cheng Xin is not simple!"

:"I even started to wonder, which one is the protagonist, Yun Tianming or Cheng Xin?"

Island province.

Vacation villa.

Three Hugo Awards and three sci-fi giants. Naturally, Shi Xifeng does not need explanation to understand the meaning of this plot.

Hart, one of the main judges, nodded:

"Although the explanation of this judge from Long Kingdom is relatively rough, it does make it easy for everyone to understand.

Barron:"Yes, this judge is still okay. The explanation is simple and popular.""

The three giants were all intrigued by Qin Feng's setting.

Renn:

"Qin Feng deserves to be a writer of hard science fiction! The level is sufficient and the foundation is solid!"

The other two giants also nodded.

Joestar:

"Qin Feng's idea actually has some foundations in the real world. It is estimated that it will take decades to fully realize this."

"But the more this happens, the more you can see the level of a science fiction writer"

"Science fiction writers can create fantasies about hundreds of years in the future."

"On the contrary, it is something that can be realized at a relatively short distance and already has a basic foundation. The more it tests the author's level and the author's knowledge reserve."

"It can be seen from this that Qin Feng has sufficient scientific reserves!"

"No wonder you can write such hard science fiction! Green nodded in agreement and said:

"Moreover, Qin Feng wrote it directly without consulting the information!"

"If it were me, I would definitely have to read a lot of information before I can do it"

"This shows that Qin Feng’s scientific knowledge reserve is so solid!"

"The more solid this aspect is, the higher he can reach!"

"Qin Feng has unlimited potential!"

The three main judges of the Hugo Award were all shocked.

They really didn't look as deeply as the Big Three, nor did they think as deeply as they thought.

Moreover, Green, the Big Three, even said that he needed to read the information, meaning that Isn’t my reserve of scientific knowledge inferior to Qin Feng?!

He also said that Qin Feng has unlimited potential!

If that’s really the case......It’s so scary!

In the next week,

Cheng Xin slept almost entirely on the plane.

She is now part of a team led by Vadim that travels among the space agencies of four countries to arrange and coordinate the feasibility studies of the ladder program.

Finally got some bad news——

【In order to achieve the one percent speed of light they required, the overall mass of the detector must be reduced to one-fifth of the planned size, which is two hundred kilograms.

After removing the mass of the sail, only one hundred and eighty kilograms are left for the detection and communication devices. 】

After hearing the news at the briefing meeting,

Wade said indifferently:

"Don't be upset because I've got worse news——"

"At the most recent Planetary Defense Council meeting, the proposal for Project Ladder was rejected."

Because the Planetary Defense Council believes that the detection effect of the probe is extremely limited - first point: the probe does not have the ability to decelerate. Even considering the deceleration of the Trisolaran fleet, the two sides will collide at a relative speed of at least 5% of the speed of light. Passing by, the detection window is very narrow.

Second point: The detector can mainly accept electromagnetic waves, but the enemy's communication must have long ago not used electromagnetic waves.

The third point: Due to the existence of sophons, the detector plan is completely transparent to the enemy from beginning to end, making the chance of success even slimmer.

So in the end, the representative of the Lighthouse Country said without mercy:

"The detection effect of the detector is almost zero!"

Because of the previous explanation by judge Shi Xifeng, the current audience can also understand the meaning of the detector's detection effect being zero.

The detector has no driving method, so it cannot slow down when it enters space.

When it encounters the Trisolaran fleet, it also You can only"take a look" when you pass by, and then the detector will be useless.......

Moreover, the time to"take a look" is very, very short, after all, the relative speed of the two parties is too fast.

And in this extremely short time to aim, you may not be able to"aim" something.

Because the Trisolaran Fleet had already been informed about the detector by people from the Trisolaran home planet, when the two sides"passed by", the Trisolaran Fleet must have hidden all information that could be detected. so......

The effect of the detector is indeed almost zero!

:"Pity!"

:"Vader is very far-sighted and has a good plan, but the technology of human civilization cannot support it, and the Trisolarans know about it."

:"yes! It's a pity that the plan went bankrupt just after it was proposed."

:"Turning on the detector now really has no effect. No information can be detected at all, and it is a waste of resources."

:"Yes, it would be great if there was some way to prevent the detector from being intercepted by the Trisolarans"

:"How is this possible?! Do you think the Trisolarans are stupid enough to stop a detector and put it in the fleet?!"

:"Comparing it with water droplets, you can see how far apart humans are!"

:"Yes, the water droplet is also a detector launched by the Trisolarans, but this detector can penetrate everything in the solar system! The speed is extremely fast!"

Everyone fell silent.

They mourned for the Ladder Plan.

Of course, Cheng Xin was the one who suffered the most, because she was the one who proposed this plan.

Wade looked at Cheng Xin and said:

"You obviously think that we need to retreat from the ladder plan."

People looked at Wade in surprise, and the meaning conveyed in their eyes was very clear:

"What else can we do if we don’t retreat? Wade stood up and walked around the conference table and said:

"We won't retreat"

"From now on, no matter it is a ladder plan or any other plan or anything, you can only retreat if I order you to retreat."

"Until then, you can only move forward."

Suddenly!

Wade changed his usual calm and cold tone and roared at the top of his lungs like a mad beast:

"go ahead!"

"go ahead!!"

"Advance by any means necessary!!!"

At this time, Wade was right behind Cheng Xin.

She felt like a volcano was erupting behind her!

She was so frightened that she tightened her shoulders and almost screamed.

The audience was all shocked.

:"hiss! The cold-blooded Vader is now like a mad beast, shouting at the top of his lungs to move forward by any means necessary!!!"

:"I went, and I couldn't help but have a paranoid and crazy image in my mind!"

:"Me too!"

:"It feels like Vader not only has a cold side, but also a crazy side."

Now.

Vader's image in the hearts of the audience has become even more complete: visionary; cold; likes to go straight to the point when doing things, has a strong purpose, and doesn't like to talk nonsense.......

Paranoid to the point of madness!

Vadim asked:

"So what’s the next step?"

Wade returned to his cold tone: (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Send someone away."

After everyone thought for a long time, they realized that Vadim's next step, the next step in the ladder plan, was not to send this person to the Planetary Defense Council or some other place very close..

Instead, it was sent out of the solar system and sent to the cold Oort Nebula a light-year away to reconnaissance the Trisolaran fleet!

Everyone was chewing his thoughts hard, unraveling the thread he threw little by little.

Soon, they discovered that the idea was not as absurd as it first seemed.——

【Human hibernation technology has matured, and this person can complete the voyage in hibernation.

The mass of a person is calculated as 70 kilograms, and the remaining 110 kilograms are equipped with hibernation equipment and a single cabin.

But what about the future?

When he encountered the Trisolaran fleet two centuries later, who revived him and what could he do after awakening? 】

These thoughts are running in everyone's mind, and no one has spoken out.

The conference room was still silent.

But Wade seemed to have been reading everyone's thoughts. When most people thought of this step, he said:

"Send a human into the enemy's heart. Vadim said:[]

"This requires the Trisolaran fleet to intercept the detector, or intercept the person."

Vade:

"That's very possible, isn't it?"

When Wade said [Isn't it?], he rolled his eyes upward, as if he was talking to other people above.

Everyone in the conference room knew that

Sophon was floating around like a ghost at this time, light years away. In the distant world outside, there are still some"participants" listening to their speeches.

Everyone often forgets this matter, and when they suddenly think of it, in addition to fear, there is also a weird feeling of insignificance.

Thinking of any plan they have made, The enemy always sees it before his superiors do, and any self-confidence will collapse.

But this time,

Vader seems to have changed the situation somewhat!

In his imagination——

【Full transparency of plans to the enemy is an advantage.

For that person to be launched out of the solar system, they undoubtedly know the precise orbital parameters.

Easily intercepted if desired.

Although the existence of sophons has given them a good understanding of the human world, the curiosity of directly studying a living human specimen may still exist, and it is possible for the Trisolaran fleet to intercept the hibernating man. ]

In traditional human intelligence warfare, it is a meaningless move to send a spy whose identity is completely exposed into the enemy.

But this is no traditional war!

For a human to enter the interior of an alien fleet is a great feat in itself, even if his identity and mission are exposed.

What he can do there is not what needs to be considered now. As long as he successfully enters there, there are endless possibilities!

The transparent thinking and strategic flaws of the Trisolarans make this possibility even more tempting.

【Send a human into the heart of the enemy! 】

The audience was shocked again!

They were all shocked by Vader's plan.

Sending a human to the Trisolaran Fleet?!

:".I go! What a complete conspiracy!"

:"Vader's strategy is also very strong!"

:"So what if Tomoko is watching? So what if the Trisolarans knew about this plan? Wouldn't he still be unable to help but take the initiative to intercept it and leave the humans in the Trisolaran fleet?!"

:"In this case, the previous worries that the detector effect is zero will no longer exist!"

:"It was said before that the detector could not be intercepted by the Trisolarans! Look, didn't Wade come up with such a method?!"

:"Gee, it’s a pity that Vader wasn’t chosen as the Wallfacer!"

:"only......The job of a spy is very difficult!"

:"Yes, spies will definitely be monitored by the Trisolarans all the time, even if they are not monitored......He has no conditions to send the news back to Earth."

:"As the article says, send it in first and then talk about it! Once you put it in, the possibilities are endless."

:"This is a really big test for this spy! It feels like this is more difficult than Taylor's three wallfacers executing their strategic plan!"

:"yes! What a great person it takes to be able to convey messages to humans in the Trisolaran fleet."

In order to investigate hibernation technology, Cheng Xin came to the Hibernation Research Center.

When Cheng Xin asked if the mass of a person's hibernation equipment could be reduced to 100 kilograms, the person in charge of the center burst into laughter:

"One hundred kilograms? One hundred tons is difficult!"

Then,

Cheng Xin learned that hibernation does not freeze people as ordinary people imagine, but is controlled at about minus 50 degrees. The total weight of each such hibernation equipment is about three tons.

But if it is in space , because the temperature of space (good for Li Nuo) is very low, what the hibernating cabin needs is not cooling, but heating.

Considering one to two centuries of heating, the one hundred tons mentioned by the person in charge is not too much of an exaggeration!

At the debriefing meeting back at headquarters.

After the survey results from all parties were compiled, people once again fell into deep depression.

The difference from last time was that they had expectations for Vader.

Wade scanned the venue and said:

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

"What did your country send you here for? Surely it’s not about providing for old age and only reporting bad news, right?"

"I have no choice but to solve this problem is your business!"

People turned their attention to the new hibernation technology experts.

These experts were silent, not thinking, but with a kind of anger coming from professional dignity:

These paranoiacs are demanding Something that is simply impossible to do!

"Maybe......"

Cheng Xin timidly uttered two words and looked around hesitantly.

Wade spat out his words:

"go ahead! Advance by any means necessary! Cheng

Xin also said what he hesitated about:

"Maybe it’s not necessary to send a living person"

"Quickly freeze people to ultra-low temperatures, below minus 200 degrees Celsius, and then launch them"

"There is no need for life support and heating systems. There is only a single-person space capsule. It can be made very small and thin. With the human body included, the total mass should be about 110 kilograms. It should be enough."

"This person must be in a state of death to humans,"

"But what about Trisolarans? They should have the ability to resurrect frozen people. Wade nodded to Cheng Xin:

"Very nice village!"

The audience was once again surprised by Cheng Xin's performance.

:"Hey, Cheng Xin is really awesome."

:"Yes, yes, such a good suggestion once again"

:"Gee, although she is only the assistant to the director now, she is better than many people in the technical department!"

:"I feel like Cheng Xin is more like the protagonist now"

:"Maybe it's Cheng Xin"
