Chapter 173: The Team is Difficult to Lead
The completion of the circumpolar accelerator indirectly confirms Luo Congmin's previous conjecture.
The technology provided by the Trisolarans was fake, even riddled with flaws.
Apart from the three technologies that Lin Xuan obtained eighty years ago, the Trisolarans concealed all other technological advancements.
The officials of the Earth Alliance were not surprised by this. After all, when they used the Super Dream database to reverse engineer these technologies, they found that there were major problems with the parameters. Now, it just confirmed these conjectures.
China has suffered losses in this area before, so it is impossible for it to place all its scientific research hopes on the Trisolarans.
Therefore, most of the technology shared with them by the Trisolarans was only used as a reference and should not be taken seriously.
This can also be considered one of Lin Xuan's contributions. The third-stage Mewtwo database has indeed enriched human biodiversity, leading to a proliferation of all sorts of bizarre questions.
But it is precisely this spirit of questioning that has prevented human scientific development from falling into a dead end from the very beginning.
With the Sun Circulation Accelerator, antimatter energy has been put on the agenda.
The speed of the human fleet has been increased again, reaching a top speed of 70% of the speed of light, which is close to the speed of light. If we don't consider the cost, it would only take about a hundred years to accelerate to this level with full fuel.
Therefore, the direction for ship upgrades is now very clear.
The first priority is still upgrading weapons and defenses. After all, you build these things to fight wars. No matter what you say, if the fleet's weapons are not upgraded, it's just a toothless tiger.
Humans once considered using antimatter energy as the primary means of attack for ship main guns, a idea that Ding Yi ridiculed for a long time in an academic journal.
"Humans discovered that fire can cook food, and then tried to use sparks to burn elephants. What era are we living in? Some people's scientific thinking is still so narrow and limited."
Ding Yi then presented a design proposal for the Annihilation Main Cannon.
This main gun differs from traditional kinetic and electromagnetic weapons, but also from energy weapons.
Through the annihilation effect of matter and antimatter, it can instantly kill any enemy warship that is grazed by this main gun.
It doesn't even need to continuously output to the target; simply touching it will cause the annihilation effect to gradually destroy the opponent, making it a true armor-piercing artifact.
At least with humanity's current defensive capabilities, whether it's composite materials or energy shields, they are easily breached by this thing. Even Sophon has stated that if the Trisolaran First Fleet were to encounter such a weapon, it would almost certainly perish.
Actually, there are three Zhizi in total.
However, their functions are different, which was designed by the Trisolarans from the beginning.
The original second-generation Tomoko was also trapped in the force field after sealing off Lin Xuan.
Therefore, long before the Trisolarans made their plans, they prepared two more sophons to fill the gaps left by the loss of the original sophons.
The other two Zhizi, one of whom has the ability to disguise himself, is the guy Lin Xuan met before who can change his appearance at will.
The other one possesses terrifying combat power comparable to an army.
Everyone knows that Tomoko is not good at fighting.
After all, her function was limited to being a spy, at least that was the case with the original Tomoko.
But the two extra sophons are different.
Disguising herself as Sonoko's true form, no one has ever seen her. She can arbitrarily transform into the facial features of anyone in the database and imitate their voice.
Battle Tomoko, on the other hand, is a woman dressed in a black combat suit.
Her body was fitted with a complete endoskeleton armor by the Trisolarans, made of an extremely hard material that could withstand the bombardment of a nuclear bomb.
Because of Lin Xuan's existence, the Trisolarans could not allow the Battle Sophon to bring too many weapons into Earth. Therefore, like the original Sophon, she only had a black high-frequency cutting katana on her back.
Now that one of the sophons has successfully restrained Lin Xuan, the remaining two sophons have naturally begun to take action.
"Special Forces Zero reporting for duty!"
Dressed in a black combat suit, Battle Somoko gave a slight salute to her superior. The moment she saw the person in front of her, she simulated and analyzed hundreds of human expressions and selected the most appropriate one to display on her own face.
"Very good. Your physical fitness indicators during your military service were excellent. From today onwards, you will be a special operations member of the Deterrence Center."
The officer looked at the woman in front of him and exchanged a few casual pleasantries.
Those who are able to become members of the task force are destined for great success in the future. In addition, Zero seems to be highly regarded by the higher-ups, so his future prospects are limitless.
Since the beginning of the deterrence era, traditional warfare has been replaced by technology.
The direct consequence of this was that a large number of women began serving in the military.
In the past, the military was mostly composed of men because men were physically better suited for combat than women.
However, since the establishment of the Space Force, more and more people have realized that the biological advantage has been worn down by the ever-changing technology and equipment, so men and women have an equal right to join the military.
This can actually be seen from the composition of Fleet International.
One-third of the fleet members who escaped with Zhang Beihai were women.
Women having equal rights to serve in the military is an inevitable trend in future technological warfare.
In order to protect Luo Ji, the Swordholder, the Earth Alliance formed a special task force, recruiting elites from various units, in an attempt to establish a defensive force led by Zhang Xiang around the deterrence center.
As for Battle Somozon, or what humans should call her, Zero.
Her performance was quite outstanding.
During his five years of military service, Zero performed exceptionally well in physical training, combat skills, and even mecha operation.
"Isn't it outstanding? Damn, an AI disguised as a human has an IQ and combat power that far surpasses that of an ordinary human!"
As for the political background, according to the information...
Zero's parents were space soldiers in the war against the apocalypse, and his grandfather was a resistance fighter who helped Lin Xuan defeat PDC.
Zero's political background was far more perfect than imagined, so perfect that it felt unreal, as if someone had hacked into the system and altered her resume.
The military leadership had never seen anyone with such a strong political background.
In this way, Zero naturally became a member of the task force, responsible for protecting Luo Ji's safety.
Compared to the combat Somoko, the operation of the disguised Somoko is much more difficult.
After disguising herself as Lin Xuan, Zhi Zi originally intended to use Lin Xuan's power to issue some tasks to the Earth Alliance.
She soon discovered something very embarrassing.
Although Lin Xuan is nominally the highest authority of humanity, it seems that since the beginning of the Deterrence Era, she has never had the habit of issuing orders, and she rarely even appears in public.
This is one of the reasons why he has been gradually forgotten by people.
Therefore, if the fake Zhizi were to issue the order now, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from others.
So she had no choice but to try to sabotage Lin Xuan's plan, but something even more absurd happened.
The people in Lin Xuan's faction are Wang Miao, Ding Yi, Cao Bin, Bi Yunfeng, Bai Bing, and Wei Cheng.
These people are a bunch of freaks. They each have their own ideas and research directions, and the fake sophon has no chance to interfere.
On several occasions, in an attempt to deliberately mislead the other party into stopping the experiment, the disguised Somozi almost exposed her true identity and backfired.
She was genuinely speechless.
None of Lin Xuan's people are easy to deal with. I really don't know how Lin Xuan managed to control these living fathers when she was alive.
