The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 264 The Lifespan of Water Droplets

In Jiang Yu's view, a weak civilization like human beings has to pay a huge price to achieve their goals in the face of powerful enemies.

The 120 warships that left the port in a hurry were to buy time for the [-] warships that set off early.

The sixteen formations that set off ahead of schedule were to buy Zhang Beihai time.

Only in this way can the success of Zhang Beihai's escape operation be completely guaranteed.

For this purpose, Jiang Yu would rather abandon the "Nineth Plan" that he had planned for a long time.

In the original book, the Trisolarans are like strolling in a garden, using a "water drop" to completely tidy up human beings.

At that time, the trisolarans did not use their full strength, which does not mean that they will not use their full strength now.

Because of the huge variable Jiang Yu, it is impossible for the Trisolarans to be blindly optimistic and think that only one "water drop" can completely suppress human beings.

It's all right now, the nine "water droplets" of the Trisolarans were all mobilized by Jiang Yu, and there was only one water droplet left, which was still flying towards the solar system along the original orbit.

Jiang Yu estimated that this water drop should be used to guarantee the bottom line, and it will be the support force of No. [-] water drop three years later.

After all, the main purpose of the Trisolarans is to control the solar system as soon as possible.

After the No. [-] water droplet left the front line, it disappeared without a trace again.

Jiang Yu guessed that its target is still the sun, and now Jupiter is far away from the path between Uranus and the earth, so it has no time to come to Jupiter for a stroll, and it is better to block the ability of the earth's interstellar broadcast in the first place.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu was somewhat puzzled, why didn't the "water droplets" reach the solar system together?

Also, when Jiang Yu assisted Zhang Beihai in escaping, he used the method of "refilling fuel". When refueling the [-] warships in Jupiter City, the Trisolarans should have been aware of his plan That's right.

From then on, if you accelerate the "water droplet", it should also come a little earlier.

So why is the second water drop so late?Let Jiang Yu's plan succeed?
Jiang Yu vaguely guessed some answers, but he couldn't be sure.

So he entered the page of JK15 and asked: "Why did the 'water droplets' arrive in the solar system in batches?"

JK15 replied: "The answer to this question requires 3000 million fraud values, and it is detected that your fraud values ​​are insufficient."

Jiang Yu glanced at his fraudulent value, 2000 million has just risen, a small part of these fraudulent values ​​were obtained inadvertently from the officers and soldiers of the Asian Fleet in assisting Zhang Beihai's previous operation.

Most of them came from the Trisolarans. Presumably, the Trisolarans were completely deceived by Jiang Yu and Zhang Beihai's actions. Before Zhang Beihai fled, they contributed a lot of fraud points to Jiang Yu.

There are also some fraud points obtained a few days before the front battle report, including the fraud points of the Trisolarans and the residents of the solar system.

Jiang Yu discussed with JK15: "Can I get credit?"

JK15: "There is no such service yet."

Jiang Yu pondered for a while: "Then I have to guess again. 'Water droplets' also have certain limitations, right? So they can only reach the solar system in batches?"

JK15 said: "The answer to this question requires 2000 million fraud points, are you willing to pay?"

Jiang Yu frowned. Obviously, his guess was just a little tricky, and two-thirds of it didn't occur to him!

Seeing that the fraud value was not enough, Jiang Yu immediately said: "Pay!"

JK15 said: "Your 2000 million fraud value is now deducted, and your balance is 822 fraud value"

"Your question is: Is there a limit to the 'droplets'? And why do they arrive in batches?
"The answer is: yes!
"The 'water droplet' uses a material flow engine. In theory, as long as there is any substance around the 'water droplet' and it is not in a true vacuum state, the 'water droplet' can always work.

"But there is a certain threshold in the output efficiency of the work, and if it exceeds this threshold, it will cause irreversible damage to the 'droplet'.

"That's why 'water droplets' came to the solar system one after another!
“赠送信息1：预测一号水滴89年6个月零3天后，将彻底丧失动力。预测二号水滴在126年5个月左右，将彻底丧失动力。

"The other seven water droplets will basically lose their power completely in about a century and a half.

"Only one water droplet has not exceeded the threshold of output efficiency today! Its life is predicted to be more than six centuries!

"Bonus information 2: The manufacturing technology of 'Water Drop' is the most advanced technology of Trisolarans today.

"But it is only the initial application of the material flow engine, and many key technical problems have not been solved. Therefore, the life of the 'water droplet' is only about eight centuries when it does not require maintenance."

This is clear, the No.[-] water drop has used the self-mutilation to hit the self-confidence of human beings, and to prevent the human beings from utilizing the “law of the dark forest”.

Water drop No. [-] was here to deal with Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu guessed that the trisolarans must have planned to kill him, the "black man", in order to avoid future troubles.

But when they learned about Zhang Beihai's plan and guessed about Jiang Yu's escape plan, it was too late to speed up the No. [-] droplet.

After all, the No. [-] water droplet came a step too late, and had no time to attack Jiang Yu, so he went after the dozen or so fleets.

In addition, Jiang Yu found that as long as JK15's answer shows "gift information" or "gift answer", it will definitely be worth the money!
Then he smiled proudly. He actually caused irreversible damage to the eight "water droplets" by himself.

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, the "water drop" can work for eight centuries!

The key is to work for such a long time without maintenance!

If maintained properly, the service life should increase.

And the interstellar warship that mankind is most proud of at present, if it is not maintained for more than half a century, it will dare to show it to everyone.

So the set of spare parts that Jiang Yu gave Zhang Beihai is very important. If you are lucky, it can last for two centuries for the starship!

Comparing the hatchback, Jiang Yu seems to feel the weakness of human industrial power.

This weakness is like the comparison between fake and shoddy products in small workshops and real brand products.

Jiang Yu sighed, for the late civilization, there is still a long way to go.

Thinking of this, he cheered up, continued to direct the rescue work, and ordered the two Uranus colonies to rescue the soldiers who abandoned the ship at all costs!
Now that Jiang Yu is the spiritual pillar of everyone, he asked No. [-] to record his every move and broadcast it throughout Jupiter.

As long as everyone sees that the Wallfacer is still working, they will feel much more at ease.

Jupiter City fled the battlefield after throwing away a third of it.

At the same time, the No. [-] water droplet should have about ten days to reach the orbit of Jupiter, and the No. [-] water droplet was also observed to be chasing the formation of a dozen warships sent by Jiang Yu.

Everyone no longer had to worry about their lives, and the feeling of gratitude for the rest of their lives had just passed, and then everyone ushered in a huge sense of despair.

All the things that human beings are proud of are broken by the little "water drop". Everyone finally understands the gap between themselves and the Trisolarans!

Everyone is wondering: what next?
