6 Deterrence

In the ninth year of the Era of Crisis, after Qi Ning's long efforts and repeated reiterations of the seriousness of controlling ultra-large radio power transmitters, there are only seven transmitters stations left on the earth, which are located in Europe, Asia, North America, Australia, Africa, and South America, Antarctica. in America, the current underground civil defense fortification in Qi Ning, a deterrent control center of the Dark Forest Cosmic Broadcasting System was established.

Without hesitation, Qi Ning broadcast the coordinates of the 187j3x1 star system. It was like a mantra that pronounced the death of civilization in the 187j3x1 star system.

At the same time, the Trisolaran First Fleet launched ten probes to Earth.

Since human beings have been closely observing the Trisolaran First Fleet, ten probes were found to be accelerating towards the earth after a few days. This was beyond Qi Ning's expectation, because according to the development of the book in the dream, the water droplets (another name for the Trisolaris detector) should not start to accelerate until the twelfth year of the Crisis Era.

From this point of view, with the early launch of Qi Ning's spell, the advancement of historical events has been accelerated.

Qi Ning decided to build a dark forest deterrent to the Trisolaran world in advance.

In the tenth year of the Era of Crisis and the first year of the Era of Deterrence, at this moment, Qi Ning was standing in the middle of the hall of the Deterrence Control Center of the Dark Forest Cosmic Broadcasting System.

In front of Qi Ning is a semi-circular display screen that covers the entire hall, and the real-time observation on the screen shows the trajectory map of the ten launchers of the Trisolarans.

It was later learned that the Hubble Space III telescope was specially built to monitor the Trisolaran fleet and detectors, and the data was processed by the Hubble Space III telescope control center and displayed in the deterrence control center in real time.

The positions of the Trisolaran First Fleet and ten launchers are clearly marked on the screen, their tracks are marked in red, and their extension line is just the earth at the other end of the screen.

But more screens are showing black space, in stark contrast to this red line.

The vastness of the universe is displayed at this moment. Perhaps the water droplet does not even occupy a single pixel on the screen, but it is the god of death who will destroy all the armed forces of human beings in space in the future.

At this moment, Qi Ning is holding the dark forest deterrence controller in his hand, which controls all ultra-high-power radio wave transmitters on the earth.

Transmitters located on all continents are specially tuned to only transmit Trisolaran coordinates to ensure deterrent reliability.

The controller is in a rectangular shape, with a big red button at the bottom, six buttons arranged in two rows in the middle, and an unlock lever at the top of the transmitter, which is covered by a panel cover to prevent misuse.

If you need to operate, open the panel cover and push up the small unlocking lever inside, press the buttons firmly in a certain order to start the Dark Forest Cosmic Radio immediately, if you need to stop the deterrent operation before starting, press the bottommost button The red button will do.

"I speak to the Trisolarans" Qi Ning's voice was not loud, but calm and powerful.

Qi Ning knew that Sophon must be by his side, maybe every word he said now would be displayed in front of the consul in the Trisolaran First Fleet in real time.

"Stop invading the solar system immediately, and the Trisolaran fleet and the ten water droplets will turn around immediately, otherwise I will immediately start the Dark Forest Cosmic Broadcast, and the content of the broadcast is only the relative position of the Trisolaran galaxy in the universe."

A couple of seconds later... (T/N: I added it in for more story content :D )

"I've had enough of your silent contempt. Since the earth is destined to be occupied by Trisolaris, let's go to hell together."

After finishing speaking, Qi Ning's expression didn't fluctuate in the slightest. Holding the with determination to die, Qi Ning slowly and forcefully opened the controller panel and unlocked the controller.

The crisp controller operation sound echoed in the hall, as if the god of death had dialed its death talisman, which made people feel frightened invisibly.

Just after Qi Ning pressed the second operation button, three round translucent balls suddenly appeared in front of Qi Ning's eyes, and the words "Stop!" were displayed in red on the three balls.

Qi Ning didn't know how many dimensions Sophon was unfolding, maybe it was just forming an image in front of his retina, just like Wang Miao saw the countdown.

Then the spherical body reflected another sentence: Say your request.

"Make the probe turn immediately." it has done what you said.

"Please give humans a means of verification"

All ten detectors will emit visible light, which your Hubble Space Telescope will be able to observe.

Qi Ning looked at the data monitoring center. Sure enough, ten minutes later, the course of the ten probes changed, and the extension line of their route just skimmed out of the outer solar system.

"The last requirement is that the fleet and water droplets must not cross the Oort Cloud, and at the same time lift the technological blockade on Earth."

it hesitated for more than ten seconds, and finally displayed on the sphere:

No matter where we turns, there will be no survival supplies, and the fleet will skip the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, and finally get lost in the abyss of space.

"Let's change the course, first show me your sincerity in wanting to live."

The Trisolaran fleet will turn around after three or six minutes of Earth time, and you will observe the fleet turn after one day.

When the international community learned that Qi Ning had successfully deterred the Three-Body Problem, it caused an uproar.

Because Qi Ning's unannounced theory actually bluffed the Trisolarans, which is really unbelievable.

The observation of the Trisolaran fleet and the diversion of the probes confirms this, beyond doubt.

But what followed were public doubts and concerns about the power of the Wallfacers.

Due to Qi Ning's prediction of the destruction of the launch of the 187j3x1 star coordinates, and the current reaction of the three-body world, the theory currently held by Qi Ning may be true.

This means that Qi Ning is putting the fate of the entire human race on the table. This is a big gamble.

The matter seemed to be beyond the control of the Planetary Defense Council, so a special hearing meeting was held urgently against Qi Ning's Wallfacer project.

When Qi Ning's first video was connected to the hearing site, the American hearing representative immediately pointed at Qi Ning and said tremblingly: "You want to destroy two worlds, you devil!"

Although the U.S. representative said something abrupt and inappropriate at the moment, he spoke the voice of most of the representatives present. The rotating chairman of the wall-facing project, Garanin, shouted silence, and then asked Qi Ning: "If the deterrence fails, will you really start the broadcast to destroy the two worlds? know this, that your Wallfacer status will be suspended during this meeting and will resume after the meeting ends. Please answer truthfully. "

"Yes." Qin Ning replied frankly.

Qi Ning's answer undoubtedly stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the venue was suddenly noisy.

"Quiet!" Garanin knocked on the table and shouted, then continued to ask: "Why? "
