1
00:01:32,180 --> 00:01:38,979
Three-Body

2
00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:41,820
Episode 28

3
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,509
The last but also
the most important question.

4
00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:50,559
So far,

5
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,029
the Trisolaris has only sent radio waves

6
00:01:56,030 --> 00:01:59,500
to the Earth?

7
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,749
Almost true.

8
00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:14,799
Almost?

9
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,189
The current Trisolaran civilization

10
00:02:18,190 --> 00:02:23,079
is capable of space travel
at one-tenth the speed of light.

11
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,749
This technology leap occurred
a few decades ago in Earth years.

12
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:30,359
Before that point, their maximum speed

13
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,629
had hovered around one-thousandth
the speed of light.

14
00:02:33,630 --> 00:02:37,079
The tiny probes
that they sent to the Earth

15
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,519
have not even completed one-hundredth

16
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,839
of the journey between there and here.

17
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,519
If the Trisolaran Fleet that
had been launched

18
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,029
is capable of flight
at one-tenth the speed of light,

19
00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:51,239
it should take only 40 years
to reach the solar system.

20
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,279
Why do you say that it would take
more than 400 years?

21
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,519
Here's the thing.

22
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,079
The Trisolaran Interstellar Fleet
is composed of incredibly

23
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,519
massive spaceships.

24
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,079
Accelerating them is a slow process.

25
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,909
One-tenth the speed of light
is only their maximum speed,

26
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:14,029
but they cannot cruise
at this speed for long

27
00:03:14,030 --> 00:03:16,359
before decelerating.

28
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,189
So, the time it takes
the Trisolaran Fleet

29
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:21,909
to reach the solar system

30
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:25,530
is ten times longer than
that of a small probe.

31
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:30,399
Also, the source of propulsion
for the Trisolaran ships

32
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,860
is matter-antimatter annihilation.

33
00:03:34,150 --> 00:03:37,500
Matter-antimatter annihilation?

34
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,519
Then is there a large magnetic field
in front of each ship?

35
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,519
Is there a large magnetic field
in front of each ship?

36
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,620
Yes.

37
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,519
Theoretically,
the field is shaped like a funnel

38
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,279
to collect antimatter particles
from space.

39
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,709
This collection process is slow,

40
00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:05,709
and only after a long wait
can it gather

41
00:04:05,710 --> 00:04:08,839
enough antimatter to allow the ship

42
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,580
to accelerate for a brief period.

43
00:04:23,390 --> 00:04:26,330
If that's the case,

44
00:04:26,510 --> 00:04:29,500
it indeed takes 400 years.

45
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,509
Then what did you mean by
"almost" just now?

46
00:04:34,510 --> 00:04:37,189
We're talking about

47
00:04:37,190 --> 00:04:41,269
the speed of space flight
within a certain context.

48
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:46,359
Outside this context,
even backward human beings

49
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,429
are capable of
accelerating certain objects

50
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:52,309
to close to the speed of light.

51
00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:54,509
By "context", she probably means
at the macro scale.

52
00:04:54,510 --> 00:04:56,799
At a micro scale, we can already
use high-energy particle accelerators

53
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,100
to speed up micro particles
to near the speed of light.

54
00:05:04,430 --> 00:05:09,660
Those micro particles you mentioned
are the "objects", right?

55
00:05:10,510 --> 00:05:12,159
You're clever.

56
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,119
I'm flattered.

57
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:19,620
I have the world's
foremost scientists behind me.

58
00:05:22,190 --> 00:05:23,559
Yes,

59
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,420
they're micro particles.

60
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,599
Six years ago,
in the distant triple star system,

61
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,359
Trisolaris accelerated
two hydrogen nuclei

62
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,359
to near the speed of light

63
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,629
and shot them toward the solar system.

64
00:05:41,630 --> 00:05:45,749
These two hydrogen nuclei, or protons,

65
00:05:45,750 --> 00:05:48,919
arrived at the solar system
two years ago,

66
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,890
then reached the Earth.

67
00:05:53,630 --> 00:05:56,239
Two protons?

68
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,509
They only sent two protons?

69
00:05:59,510 --> 00:06:02,069
That's almost nothing.

70
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:04,429
General Chang,

71
00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:07,500
you also said "almost".

72
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,679
That's the limit of Trisolaran power.

73
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,309
They can only accelerate something

74
00:06:15,310 --> 00:06:19,540
as small as a proton
to near the speed of light.

75
00:06:19,750 --> 00:06:22,429
Over a distance of four light-years,

76
00:06:22,430 --> 00:06:26,180
they can only send two protons.

77
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,039
At the macroscopic level,
two protons are nothing.

78
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,679
Even a single cilium on a bacterium

79
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,999
would include several billion protons.

80
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,309
What's the point?

81
00:06:43,310 --> 00:06:45,479
They're a lock.

82
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,740
A lock? What are they locking?

83
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,060
The progress of human science.

84
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,359
During the four and a half centuries

85
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,269
until the arrival
of the Trisolaran Fleet,

86
00:07:00,270 --> 00:07:03,159
due to the existence
of the two protons,

87
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,039
humanity will not be able to make

88
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,469
any important scientific developments.

89
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:12,309
Evans once said that the day of arrival

90
00:07:12,310 --> 00:07:16,749
of the two protons was also the day

91
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:19,540
that human science died.

92
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,740
So you already knew that
the protons sealed off human science.

93
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,309
Professor David
of Gadayork University,

94
00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:33,829
committed suicide a month ago.

95
00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:35,629
The astrophysicist of Country A...

96
00:07:35,630 --> 00:07:38,799
Human science will never progress.

97
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,719
Yang Dong's experiment
will never succeed.

98
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,660
Physics doesn't exist.

99
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,220
Why didn't you
tell her the truth earlier?

100
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,980
Is everything I know

101
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,570
the truth?

102
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,290
General Chang,

103
00:08:50,670 --> 00:08:53,010
this is Wang Miao.

104
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,959
OK, thanks, Professor Ye.

105
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,149
Let's call it a day.

106
00:08:58,150 --> 00:09:01,170
Someone wants to see you.

107
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,340
Thank you for seeing me.

108
00:10:14,390 --> 00:10:16,719
There is a question

109
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,370
that I haven't answered you.

110
00:10:20,270 --> 00:10:23,100
Is it about Yang Dong?

111
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,530
Dong

112
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,580
didn't like to watch
the news on current events,

113
00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:39,789
because she had a basic belief that

114
00:10:39,790 --> 00:10:43,239
life and the world

115
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,119
might be ugly,

116
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,359
but at the end of the micro and macro,

117
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,410
it was harmonious and perfect.

118
00:10:55,670 --> 00:11:01,490
The daily world was just a foam
floating on the perfect ocean.

119
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,509
But because the protons interfered with
the accelerator experiment,

120
00:11:08,510 --> 00:11:10,980
Don't come over.

121
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:20,229
The daily world became
a beautiful presentation instead.

122
00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:23,719
The micro it contained

123
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,509
and the macro that contained it

124
00:11:26,510 --> 00:11:31,800
might be more chaotic and uglier.

125
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,010
So her faith collapsed.

126
00:11:40,390 --> 00:11:43,250
She actually knew that

127
00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:47,050
she didn't have to think that way.

128
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,500
Without physics, she could still live.

129
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,389
She made choices and efforts,

130
00:11:59,390 --> 00:12:03,999
trying to live peacefully

131
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,860
like an ordinary woman.

132
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,860
For her,

133
00:12:11,270 --> 00:12:15,230
half of her life had been destroyed.

134
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,500
I talked with Shen Yufei.

135
00:12:21,150 --> 00:12:24,319
Yang Dong tried to make changes.

136
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,770
Perhaps she did that to save herself.

137
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,250
But I don't know

138
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,170
why she eventually
chose to end her life.

139
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,370
That's because

140
00:12:41,510 --> 00:12:44,170
I destroyed

141
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,410
the other half of her life.

142
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:51,269
If I was right,

143
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:53,629
Dong

144
00:12:53,630 --> 00:12:56,269
should have accidentally seen

145
00:12:56,270 --> 00:12:59,789
the files on my computer
that I didn't delete,

146
00:12:59,790 --> 00:13:02,379
and found out

147
00:13:02,380 --> 00:13:06,050
about my secrets with Trisolaris.

148
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,130
She never thought that

149
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:13,890
her mom who kept her company

150
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,429
was a different person,

151
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:19,509
a person

152
00:13:19,510 --> 00:13:22,239
she couldn't

153
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,629
even believe

154
00:13:24,630 --> 00:13:27,940
might exist.

155
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,500
The two things together

156
00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:35,650
constituted her entire life.

157
00:13:35,790 --> 00:13:37,940
But,

158
00:13:40,910 --> 00:13:44,340
they were actually one thing.

159
00:13:46,630 --> 00:13:49,530
To be exact,

160
00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:54,340
I was the one

161
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,620
who destroyed Dong's life.

162
00:13:59,230 --> 00:14:02,319
♪ The cruel choice of nature ♪

163
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,130
All the evidence
points to a single conclusion.

164
00:14:07,550 --> 00:14:11,500
Physics has never existed,

165
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,220
and will never exist.

166
00:14:16,670 --> 00:14:20,460
I know what I'm doing
is irresponsible.

167
00:14:20,670 --> 00:14:22,029
But I have no choice.

168
00:14:22,030 --> 00:14:26,200
Triazolam

169
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,719
I know you always think

170
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,010
there are many doubts
about Yang Dong's death.

171
00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:07,460
I have doubts, too.

172
00:15:08,270 --> 00:15:10,949
If I tell you,

173
00:15:10,950 --> 00:15:14,010
it's partly because of physics,

174
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,959
and partly because of Professor Ye,

175
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,410
will it clear your doubts?

176
00:15:23,390 --> 00:15:26,130
What do you think?

177
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,850
Physics has never existed,
and will never exist.

178
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:39,359
Honestly, I think just the opposite.

179
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,530
I think Yang Dong's suicide note
becomes even more strange.

180
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,869
Let's do a sociological
thought experiment

181
00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:49,789
with Yang Dong as an example.

182
00:15:49,790 --> 00:15:51,439
Quantum collision failed.

183
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,010
The foundation of physics
seemed to have collapsed.

184
00:16:11,510 --> 00:16:15,319
But if she knew it was because
two protons had locked human science,

185
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,959
she should have found
reasonable explanations

186
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,650
for the anomalies
in theoretical physics.

187
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,389
Profess Ye's story indeed
destroyed her hope,

188
00:16:27,390 --> 00:16:28,599
but at the same time, she could

189
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,589
at least see the reason why
human physics didn't exist

190
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:34,340
was because of
the intervention of Trisolarans.

191
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,860
This should be new hope.

192
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,239
Yang Dong couldn't
have failed to see this,

193
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,389
but she still chose...

194
00:16:51,390 --> 00:16:53,980
chose to kill herself.

195
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,220
She must have seen
something more long-term than us.

196
00:16:58,630 --> 00:16:59,789
But what did she see?

197
00:16:59,790 --> 00:17:01,359
How did she see?

198
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,170
Both of us can't figure it out.

199
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,549
Your experiment just now
took the two protons locking the Earth

200
00:17:13,550 --> 00:17:16,250
as a necessary condition.

201
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,140
Do you really believe that?

202
00:17:19,550 --> 00:17:22,199
The Trisolarans
shot two protons at the Earth

203
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,309
from four light-years away

204
00:17:24,310 --> 00:17:26,399
and they both reached the target.

205
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,639
That accuracy is incredible.

206
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,239
You know there are numerous obstacles
between there and here.

207
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,719
And both the solar system
and the Earth are moving.

208
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,509
It's like...

209
00:17:36,510 --> 00:17:38,639
It would require more precision

210
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,239
than shooting
a mosquito here from Pluto.

211
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,829
The shooter is beyond imagination,
right?

212
00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:47,740
So what does that mean?

213
00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:53,290
I don't know.

214
00:17:53,550 --> 00:17:55,740
I don't know.

215
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,509
What do you think
those micro particles

216
00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:07,940
such as protons, neutrons
and electrons look like?

217
00:18:09,030 --> 00:18:13,290
They would just look like a point,
but with different structures.

218
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:18,050
The image in my head
is more realistic than yours.

219
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:28,090
Look what this is.

220
00:18:28,510 --> 00:18:31,010
A cigarette filter.

221
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,269
Looking at this tiny thing
from where you stand,

222
00:18:36,270 --> 00:18:38,530
how would you describe it?

223
00:18:38,790 --> 00:18:41,460
It's practically just a point.

224
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,789
If this little sponge is spread open,
the adsorbent surface area

225
00:19:07,790 --> 00:19:11,019
can be as large as my living room.

226
00:19:11,020 --> 00:19:12,509
Do you smoke pipes?

227
00:19:12,510 --> 00:19:14,109
I don't smoke.

228
00:19:14,110 --> 00:19:16,309
Pipes use a more advanced filter.

229
00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:17,349
Three yuan for one.

230
00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:19,399
It's filled with active charcoal.

231
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,199
If you take out all the infill,
it looks like mouse droppings.

232
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,349
But spread open,

233
00:19:24,350 --> 00:19:26,919
the adsorbent surface formed by
the tiny holes inside

234
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,309
is as large as a tennis court.

235
00:19:29,310 --> 00:19:32,980
This is why active charcoal
is so adsorbent.

236
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,199
So, what are you trying to say?

237
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,349
Well, the sponge or active charcoal
is three-dimensional.

238
00:19:40,350 --> 00:19:43,029
But their adsorbent surfaces
are two-dimensional.

239
00:19:43,030 --> 00:19:44,999
Thus, you can see how a
high-dimensional structure

240
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,900
can contain a huge
low-dimensional structure.

241
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,029
But at the macroscopic level,

242
00:19:52,030 --> 00:19:54,239
this is the limit of the ability
for high-dimensional space

243
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,700
to contain low-dimensional space.

244
00:19:56,830 --> 00:19:57,999
Because God was stingy.

245
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,269
During the big bang, he only

246
00:19:59,270 --> 00:20:02,980
provided the macroscopic world
with three dimensions,

247
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,439
but this doesn't mean that
higher dimensions don't exist.

248
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,789
Up to eight dimensions
are locked within the micro scale.

249
00:20:11,790 --> 00:20:14,610
And added to the three dimensions
at the macro scale,

250
00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:19,900
an eleven-dimensional space-time
exists within fundamental particles.

251
00:20:22,030 --> 00:20:24,399
So what?

252
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,829
What do you think is the mark of a
civilization's technological advancement

253
00:20:28,830 --> 00:20:31,050
in the universe?

254
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,679
The view of dimensions.

255
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,650
I think it's the ability to control
and make use of micro dimensions.

256
00:20:37,660 --> 00:20:40,439
Making use of fundamental particles
is something that our ancestors

257
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,239
already did back when
they drilled wood to make a fire.

258
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,399
Utilizing chemical reactions is just

259
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,269
manipulating micro particles
at the one-dimensional level.

260
00:20:48,270 --> 00:20:50,639
Of course, this utilization
also progressed from crude to advanced,

261
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,789
from bonfires to steam engines,
and then generators.

262
00:20:54,790 --> 00:20:57,999
But now, the ability for humans to
manipulate micro particles at the macro level

263
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:58,960
has reached a peak.

264
00:20:58,961 --> 00:21:01,879
We have computers and nanomaterials.

265
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,959
But all of this, from the perspective of a
more advanced civilization in the universe,

266
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,610
is accomplished without

267
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,290
unlocking the many dimensions.

268
00:21:11,590 --> 00:21:15,220
That's why
they think of humans as mere turkeys.

269
00:21:19,030 --> 00:21:21,349
What does all you said

270
00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:24,389
have to do with those two protons?

271
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:27,819
Ultimately, what can they do?

272
00:21:27,820 --> 00:21:30,789
A single cilium on a bacterium
can contain several billion protons.

273
00:21:30,790 --> 00:21:35,719
Even if the two protons turned entirely
into energy on the tip of my finger,

274
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,919
at most it would feel like a pinprick.

275
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,549
Even if they turned into energy
on a bacterium,

276
00:21:40,550 --> 00:21:42,399
the bacterium probably
wouldn't feel anything.

277
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,919
Not to mention you.

278
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,069
Then what were you trying to say?

279
00:21:46,070 --> 00:21:47,719
Nothing.

280
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,919
I don't know anything.

281
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,439
What can a turkey know?

282
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,509
But about this thing,
you know more than I do.

283
00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:55,239
You are not at a loss as I am.

284
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,610
At least you can tell me what you know.

285
00:21:58,830 --> 00:22:01,570
- Tell you what I know?
- Yes.

286
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,010
If I tell you what I know,

287
00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:10,140
you really won't be able to sleep.

288
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,700
What's the point of worrying?

289
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:15,959
Learn from Shi Qiang.

290
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,700
Just do the best
within your responsibility.

291
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:25,050
I'll go drinking
and then go back to sleep like a turkey.

292
00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:42,480
Mom. Mom.

293
00:22:42,481 --> 00:22:44,399
Look, Dad is smoking.

294
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,159
When did you come in?

295
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,000
Play outside.

296
00:22:47,001 --> 00:22:48,439
Let Dad do his work.

297
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,269
Mom, don't let Dad smoke.

298
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:53,199
OK. I won't let Dad smoke.

299
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,420
Go and play.

300
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,309
What's wrong?

301
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:03,980
Is there a problem
with your experiment?

302
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,679
Why do you say that?

303
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,439
The last time you stared
at something in a daze was when

304
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,810
the nanomaterial lab was built.

305
00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:16,810
That wasn't worth mentioning.

306
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,570
Is that so serious?

307
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,639
No.

308
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,029
I mean I was young back then.

309
00:23:27,030 --> 00:23:30,109
When I had a problem,
I always thought it was big.

310
00:23:30,110 --> 00:23:32,999
Now looking back, they were nothing.

311
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,269
All academic problems
are a matter of time.

312
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:40,679
Over time,
all problems can be solved.

313
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,500
Dad,
it's your turn to tell me a story today.

314
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,999
Doudou, don't disturb Dad.

315
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,349
It doesn't matter.
I happen to be free today.

316
00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:50,240
Come.

317
00:23:50,241 --> 00:23:53,509
Dad will tell you how
a magician outwitted a dragon.

318
00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:54,070
Come.

319
00:23:54,071 --> 00:23:56,850
Be a good girl.

320
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,940
Come.

321
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,029
Once upon a time,
there was a magician who had been

322
00:24:08,030 --> 00:24:13,500
trying to make magic potions
and practice magic.

323
00:24:13,790 --> 00:24:17,749
But one day, a dragon came.

324
00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:23,069
It destroyed the magician's magic hut,
knocked over his magic potion,

325
00:24:23,070 --> 00:24:28,180
and took away the magic fruit
that the magician survived on.

326
00:24:28,510 --> 00:24:30,639
The magician didn't give up.

327
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,959
He went through countless hardships
to find the dragon's nest,

328
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,900
and declared war on it.

329
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:44,989
He dodged the dragon's huge tail,
and extinguished the flames it spewed.

330
00:24:44,990 --> 00:24:48,269
At last, the magician
defeated the dragon

331
00:24:48,270 --> 00:24:51,239
and took back his magic fruit.

332
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,029
Dad, you're also a magician.

333
00:24:53,030 --> 00:24:55,829
You magically put the egg in the bottle.

334
00:24:55,830 --> 00:24:58,879
So you are brave, too.

335
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,399
Thanks.

336
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,679
Why did the dragon fight the magician?

337
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,589
Is there any chance that
they finally became friends

338
00:25:07,590 --> 00:25:10,500
and fought no more?

339
00:25:12,590 --> 00:25:16,829
Wang Miao, your friend came to see you.

340
00:25:16,830 --> 00:25:20,159
Dad, it must be the dragon.

341
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,269
Be careful.

342
00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:22,879
Dad is a magician.

343
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,250
Dad isn't afraid.

344
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,549
Are you Wang Miao?

345
00:25:38,550 --> 00:25:40,919
Excuse me, you can't smoke here.

346
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,980
The hallway, we can talk in the hallway.
You can't smoke there either.

347
00:25:45,540 --> 00:25:48,680
Please keep the hallway clean
and do not smoke

348
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,239
Are you OK?

349
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,479
Yes.

350
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,879
I just recollected the old days.

351
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,399
I mean your health.

352
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,029
I'm fine.

353
00:26:00,030 --> 00:26:00,680
Don't worry.

354
00:26:00,681 --> 00:26:02,959
I'm not radioactive anymore.

355
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,829
Because of a tiny nuclear bomb,
they've washed me inside and outside

356
00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:08,740
like a flour sack.

357
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:11,959
No sooner than you left the hospital,
you came to knock on my door.

358
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:12,790
Is it urgent?

359
00:26:12,791 --> 00:26:13,919
It's urgent.

360
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,879
Come with me.

361
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,140
No, I'm busy this afternoon.

362
00:26:20,030 --> 00:26:22,879
This afternoon,
we'll rearrange your schedule.

363
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,879
There's a car waiting downstairs.

364
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,309
Will you come or not?

365
00:26:27,310 --> 00:26:29,509
I want to recall the old days, too.

366
00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:30,829
Will you come or not?

367
00:26:30,830 --> 00:26:33,090
Do I have a choice?

368
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,399
I read Ye Wenjie's interrogation record.

369
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,309
It said that the Trisolarans sent
two protons to the earth.

370
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:48,399
What are the protons?

371
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,239
What's the Trisolarans' purpose?

372
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,509
The two protons they sent
are too small to be seen.

373
00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:58,639
But they can lock human science.

374
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,749
Just like when you fought with someone,

375
00:27:00,750 --> 00:27:04,159
you did your utmost,
while by throwing two hairs,

376
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,199
your opponent made you stiff
and unable to move.

377
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:13,159
This information is like the countdown
and weighs heavily on our minds.

378
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,029
Don't you feel that everyone here

379
00:27:16,030 --> 00:27:18,980
is anxious and worried?

380
00:27:26,790 --> 00:27:29,109
Even the blue whale fossil

381
00:27:29,110 --> 00:27:33,660
seems to become rougher and yellower.

382
00:27:36,750 --> 00:27:41,460
Is that the sense of vicissitudes
you educated people always say?

383
00:27:42,270 --> 00:27:47,549
It feels like human civilization
soon became aging.

384
00:27:47,550 --> 00:27:49,740
Cut the crap.

385
00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:51,749
It's only been a month.

386
00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:54,159
What civilization would age so fast?

387
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,589
Wang Miao, answer me,

388
00:27:57,590 --> 00:28:00,180
do you want to

389
00:28:00,830 --> 00:28:04,570
play a game with me and all humanity?

390
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,919
Do I have a choice?

391
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,239
Good.

392
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,220
Come.

393
00:28:41,110 --> 00:28:45,069
Dr. Ding and I seem to be
the only scientists here.

394
00:28:45,070 --> 00:28:48,749
You were not supposed to
attend the meeting, not even me.

395
00:28:48,750 --> 00:28:51,199
Don't you see
they are all military officers?

396
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,900
I insisted on
attending the meeting with you.

397
00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:58,749
Why did you insist on doing this?

398
00:28:58,750 --> 00:29:02,199
We can do nothing to help arrest Evans.

399
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,719
Not necessarily.

400
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,789
The first time I saw you, I thought,

401
00:29:05,790 --> 00:29:10,069
perhaps, you're a good knife for murder.

402
00:29:10,070 --> 00:29:11,879
Are you still in the mood to joke?

403
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,879
I didn't joke.

404
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:14,999
Probably,

405
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,879
the two of us are going to

406
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,549
take the lead, make our mark,
and stand out.

407
00:29:22,550 --> 00:29:25,140
How do you like my idioms?

408
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,399
Good morning.

409
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,269
Everyone at this meeting

410
00:29:42,270 --> 00:29:47,069
now has a basic understanding
of the situation.

411
00:29:47,070 --> 00:29:50,029
According to our agreement,

412
00:29:50,030 --> 00:29:54,479
we shared information in sync.

413
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,919
I'm sorry to tell you,

414
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,999
the war between alien invaders
and humanity has begun.

415
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,679
Some may say, for now,
our opponents are still human.

416
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,509
After all, our descendants
won't face the Trisolarans

417
00:30:11,510 --> 00:30:17,239
for another four and a half centuries.

418
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,239
Yet, in essence,
these traitors to the human race

419
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,159
like the ETO can also
be seen as enemies

420
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,919
from outside human civilization.

421
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,940
We have never faced an enemy

422
00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:33,999
like this.

423
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,719
So our next common objective

424
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,349
is to capture the intercepted
Trisolaran messages

425
00:30:39,350 --> 00:30:43,959
stored on Judgment Day?

426
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,549
Yes.

427
00:30:45,550 --> 00:30:49,439
These messages
may have great significance

428
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,819
for our survival.

429
00:30:52,820 --> 00:30:54,949
Please look.

430
00:30:54,950 --> 00:30:57,199
This is Judgment Day.

431
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,439
We've tracked its location by satellite.

432
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:06,789
The ship is still
sailing on the Atlantic freely.

433
00:31:06,790 --> 00:31:10,199
It has already submitted plans
to the Panama Canal Authority

434
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,549
to pass through the canal

435
00:31:12,550 --> 00:31:14,309
in four days.

436
00:31:14,310 --> 00:31:17,919
This seems to be our
best opportunity to take action.

437
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,549
Perhaps, such an opportunity
will never arise again.

438
00:31:21,550 --> 00:31:23,829
The purpose of this meeting

439
00:31:23,830 --> 00:31:27,159
is to discuss possible plans
of operation,

440
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,749
and then report one to three

441
00:31:30,750 --> 00:31:33,639
of our best suggestions to Central.

442
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,159
This operation is very difficult.

443
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,159
Because any plan

444
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,029
must guarantee one thing,

445
00:31:41,030 --> 00:31:47,820
which is the secure capture
of the Trisolaran messages.

446
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,029
According to the information
from the captured ETOs,

447
00:31:52,030 --> 00:31:56,740
Judgment Day was rebuilt
from an old oil tanker.

448
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,549
But the superstructure
and the interior

449
00:31:59,550 --> 00:32:01,239
have been extensively renovated

450
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,029
with complex structures,
rooms and passage ways.

451
00:32:05,030 --> 00:32:08,439
And the crew having
lived on the ship for over a month

452
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,269
still need a map
to navigate some areas,

453
00:32:12,270 --> 00:32:15,090
which we don't have.

454
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,829
Right now, we don't even know

455
00:32:19,830 --> 00:32:23,109
the location of the computing center
on Judgment Day,

456
00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:27,549
or whether the Trisolaran messages
are stored there,

457
00:32:27,550 --> 00:32:29,349
or how many copies they have.

458
00:32:29,350 --> 00:32:32,309
The only way to achieve our objective

459
00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:36,919
is to completely capture
and control Judgment Day.

460
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,309
The most difficult part is
preventing the enemy from erasing

461
00:32:41,310 --> 00:32:44,199
Trisolaran data during our attack.

462
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,399
If they just emptied a cartridge clip
at the server hard drive,

463
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,719
it would all be over.

464
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,679
It would take 10 seconds at most.

465
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,639
So basically, we need to clear the ship,
its entire crew,

466
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,349
find the disk or drive,

467
00:32:58,350 --> 00:33:01,399
or which we have no idea
of its actual location

468
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,959
without a map, without causing

469
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,549
any substantial damage
or raising any alarms

470
00:33:07,550 --> 00:33:09,749
all in 10 seconds.

471
00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:13,639
Do we have any spies
on Judgment Day to control or move

472
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:20,069
the storage equipment elsewhere
right before our operation?

473
00:33:20,070 --> 00:33:22,140
No.

474
00:33:29,510 --> 00:33:34,250
Then we have nothing more
to discuss except bullshit.

475
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,959
A ball lightning weapon
can eliminate all personnel

476
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:51,500
within an enclosed structure
without harming other equipment.

477
00:33:58,030 --> 00:33:59,999
I don't think this is feasible.

478
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,269
We don't know if the ship has been
equipped with magnetic walls

479
00:34:02,270 --> 00:34:05,700
to shield against ball lightning.

480
00:34:06,350 --> 00:34:09,709
Also, the ball lightning needs
some time to release its energy,

481
00:34:09,710 --> 00:34:14,069
10 seconds at least, or one minute,
even longer.

482
00:34:14,070 --> 00:34:17,780
They will have enough time to react.

483
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,879
What about a neutron bomb?

484
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,069
Also there's a problem.

485
00:34:24,070 --> 00:34:29,860
The radiation from a neutron bomb
cannot put them to death immediately.

486
00:34:33,630 --> 00:34:36,029
After the neutron bomb attack,

487
00:34:36,030 --> 00:34:40,069
the enemy has a lot of time
for a meeting,

488
00:34:40,070 --> 00:34:42,109
just like us.

489
00:34:42,110 --> 00:34:44,839
Another option is nerve gas.

490
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,879
But from the time of our release to the
time it'll take to get around the ship,

491
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,069
it's more time than we have,

492
00:34:51,070 --> 00:34:54,420
so that doesn't meet
the general's requirements.

493
00:34:58,230 --> 00:35:01,189
The only other choices are

494
00:35:01,190 --> 00:35:05,300
concussion bombs or infrasonic waves.

495
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,709
I use concussion bombs,
the toys, in police work.

496
00:35:19,710 --> 00:35:23,439
They can indeed stun people
inside a building into unconsciousness,

497
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,399
but they're only good for a room or two.

498
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,839
Do you have any concussion bombs
big enough to stun

499
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,109
a whole ship full of people?

500
00:35:31,110 --> 00:35:32,070
No.

501
00:35:32,071 --> 00:35:35,999
Even if we had,
such a large explosive device

502
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,029
would certainly damage
equipment inside the ship.

503
00:35:39,030 --> 00:35:42,629
What about infrasonic weapons?

504
00:35:42,630 --> 00:35:45,709
No, it's not ready yet.
We're still in testing.

505
00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:46,879
It's not ready for field.

506
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,549
Besides, the power we will need

507
00:35:48,550 --> 00:35:50,999
for a ship that size...

508
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,439
It will barely be enough to cause

509
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,629
some dizzy spews or
maybe a bit of nausea.

510
00:35:56,630 --> 00:35:59,919
I told you
all we have left to discuss is bullshit.

511
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,319
But you seemed to have ignored me.

512
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,709
Can't you translate
the word "bullshit"?

513
00:36:05,710 --> 00:36:08,549
The general said
time was of the essence.

514
00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:10,629
Hurry up.

515
00:36:10,630 --> 00:36:13,650
Say what else have you got.

516
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,919
Are we going to
let the policeman run this?

517
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,500
Are you even qualified?

518
00:36:27,510 --> 00:36:29,900
What do you mean?

519
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,149
I'm a policeman, so what?

520
00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:35,319
A policeman isn't qualified.

521
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,279
So are you even qualified?

522
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,589
Colonel Stanton has been one of

523
00:36:39,590 --> 00:36:42,509
the longest standing experts
in special ops,

524
00:36:42,510 --> 00:36:47,650
and he has been in every
major operations since the Vietnam War.

525
00:36:48,230 --> 00:36:50,420
I see.

526
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,069
Fine.

527
00:36:53,070 --> 00:36:55,629
Then let me tell you why I'm qualified.

528
00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:59,879
Before I became a policeman,
I was also in the military.

529
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:04,399
My reconnaissance squad once
sneaked dozens of kilometers

530
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,399
behind the enemy,

531
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,439
and captured a hydroelectric station
under heavy guard.

532
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,109
We prevented the enemy's plan
to demolish the dam with explosives,

533
00:37:13,110 --> 00:37:16,189
which would have flooded
the attack route for our army.

534
00:37:16,190 --> 00:37:18,989
That's why I'm qualified.

535
00:37:18,990 --> 00:37:24,170
I defeated an enemy
who once defeated you.

536
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,319
Shi, say your plan.
Don't bring up irrelevant matters.

537
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,780
I don't think we need to continue
listening to this police.

538
00:37:33,030 --> 00:37:35,109
Police?

539
00:37:35,110 --> 00:37:38,359
I heard that word twice.

540
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,069
What?

541
00:37:40,070 --> 00:37:42,109
You look down upon the police,
don't you?

542
00:37:42,110 --> 00:37:45,439
To drop some bombs
and turn that ship into smithereens,

543
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:46,879
you military are the experts.

544
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:51,189
But to retrieve something
out of it without damage,

545
00:37:51,190 --> 00:37:52,959
I don't care how many stars
are on your shoulder,

546
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,260
you aren't even as good as a thief.

547
00:37:58,630 --> 00:38:00,919
For this kind of thing,
you have to think outside the box.

548
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,919
Out of the box.

549
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,759
You will never be

550
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,090
as good at it as criminals,

551
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,999
masters of out-of-the-box thinking.

552
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,629
Criminals could steal one car
out of a moving train.

553
00:38:16,630 --> 00:38:19,189
They reconnected the cars before and
after the stolen one so that the train

554
00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:20,919
got all the way to its destination.

555
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,439
The only tools they used
were a length of wire cable

556
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,319
and a few steel hooks.

557
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,820
Those are the real special ops experts.

558
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,439
And as a criminal cop

559
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,589
who has been playing cat and mouse
with them for more than a decade,

560
00:38:34,590 --> 00:38:37,879
I've received the best education
and training from them.

561
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,630
Enough.

562
00:38:38,631 --> 00:38:40,359
Tell us your plan.

563
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,029
Otherwise, shut up!

564
00:38:42,030 --> 00:38:45,310
General,
there are so many important people here

565
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,149
that I didn't think
it was my place to speak.

566
00:38:47,150 --> 00:38:49,149
And I was afraid that
you would say I was rude.

567
00:38:49,150 --> 00:38:50,479
Now I see...

568
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,839
You're already being rude!
Tell us your out-of-the-box plan.

569
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,839
OK.

570
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,189
Look.

571
00:38:57,190 --> 00:38:59,919
The middle
of the long table is the canal.

572
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:03,690
The iron frames are the banks.

573
00:39:05,190 --> 00:39:08,050
This is Judgment Day.

574
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,279
I cannot put up with this idiot!

575
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,280
Get out of here!

576
00:39:11,281 --> 00:39:12,399
I'll be done soon.

577
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,320
One minute.

578
00:39:13,321 --> 00:39:15,860
Give me one minute.

579
00:39:17,190 --> 00:39:18,229
One more.

580
00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:19,799
Cigar.

581
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,860
One more.

582
00:39:29,030 --> 00:39:32,669
We set up two pillars
on the shores of the canal,

583
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:38,189
and then between them
we string many parallel, thin filaments.

584
00:39:38,190 --> 00:39:43,460
The filaments are the nanomaterial
developed by Professor Wang, Flying Knife.

585
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:45,879
Flying Blade.

586
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,759
Yeah, Flying Blade.

587
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,229
Nanomaterial.

588
00:39:49,230 --> 00:39:52,010
It can cut clean through iron.

589
00:39:55,670 --> 00:39:57,029
Done.

590
00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:59,170
That's it.

591
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:31,860
Professor Wang,

592
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:37,919
is Flying Blade really
in the form of filaments?

593
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,879
Given our current
molecular construction technique,

594
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,919
the only form we can make is a filament.

595
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,359
The thickness is about one-hundredth
the thickness of human hair.

596
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,589
Could we get enough of that in time?

597
00:40:47,590 --> 00:40:50,359
That depends on the width of the canal
and the height of the ship.

598
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,589
The narrowest point of the canal
is 150 meters wide.

599
00:40:54,590 --> 00:41:01,500
The Judgment Day is 31 meters tall,
with a draft of eight meters or so.

600
00:41:06,590 --> 00:41:07,959
There's probably enough.

601
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:08,999
Probably.

602
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,189
What if the equipment
holding the Trisolaran data,

603
00:41:13,190 --> 00:41:17,789
the hard drives,
the optical disks, is sliced?

604
00:41:17,790 --> 00:41:19,549
The filaments are extremely sharp,

605
00:41:19,550 --> 00:41:21,669
and the cut surfaces
would be very smooth.

606
00:41:21,670 --> 00:41:24,029
The data in those optical disks,
hard drives and storage

607
00:41:24,030 --> 00:41:26,759
could probably be recovered.

608
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,730
Yeah.

609
00:41:29,670 --> 00:41:33,549
Anyone got a better idea?

610
00:41:33,550 --> 00:41:35,999
There's no other way.

611
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,799
Yes, all we can do is this.

612
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,010
This is our best option so far.

613
00:41:42,190 --> 00:41:43,279
All right.

614
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,629
Then let's focus on this
and work out the details.

615
00:41:47,630 --> 00:41:50,959
When Judgment Day passes,
can those two pillars

616
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,549
bear the force applied against
the Flying Blade filaments?

617
00:41:53,550 --> 00:41:57,839
Is there any chance the pillars
could be sliced apart first?

618
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,669
Everyone, here is the thing.

619
00:41:59,670 --> 00:42:02,669
The nanomaterial is thick at both ends
and thin in the middle.

620
00:42:02,670 --> 00:42:05,439
We have some material
that are flat sheets.

621
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,549
We can use them to protect
the parts of the column

622
00:42:07,550 --> 00:42:09,189
where the filaments are attached.

623
00:42:09,190 --> 00:42:13,029
In addition, the filaments are too thin
to be seen with the naked eye.

624
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:15,839
So we need to label them
with fluorescent.

625
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,509
This way, in a special light,

626
00:42:17,510 --> 00:42:20,509
we can check that
whether the filaments are straightened

627
00:42:20,510 --> 00:42:22,980
and arranged neatly.

628
00:42:23,710 --> 00:42:27,029
Judgment Day has a deep draft.

629
00:42:27,030 --> 00:42:31,759
We also need to consider
the filaments below the waterline.

630
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,549
It's hard to set the filaments
below the waterline.

631
00:42:34,550 --> 00:42:36,109
If we don't have enough time,

632
00:42:36,110 --> 00:42:38,629
I don't think it will matter.
We shouldn't worry about it.

633
00:42:38,630 --> 00:42:41,709
The parts of the ship below
the waterline are used for engines,

634
00:42:41,710 --> 00:42:43,999
fuel, and ballast.

635
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,109
The conditions are unsuitable

636
00:42:46,110 --> 00:42:48,839
for computer terminals
or other similar systems.

637
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,029
For the parts above the ship power,
above the waterline however,

638
00:42:51,030 --> 00:42:53,919
will be much better off
and more effective

639
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,069
if we can set
a tighter nanofilament net.

640
00:42:57,070 --> 00:43:02,549
And the best place to set the trap
is one of the three locks along the canal.

641
00:43:02,550 --> 00:43:06,149
Judgment Day is built to
Panamax specifications,

642
00:43:06,150 --> 00:43:08,029
enough to fill the locks.

643
00:43:08,030 --> 00:43:11,319
So we only need about 32 meters,

644
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:12,959
a small distance in between.

645
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,439
And it will be easier to erect
the pillars and string the filaments,

646
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,279
especially for the underwater parts.

647
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,999
The situation around the locks
is intricate.

648
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,669
Also, when the ship moves
through the locks

649
00:43:22,670 --> 00:43:27,149
it has to need four mules, electric
locomotives on rails, to pull it forward,

650
00:43:27,150 --> 00:43:29,959
which moves slowly.

651
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,549
This is the time when the crew
are all on high alert.

652
00:43:32,550 --> 00:43:36,029
There's a high probability that
we will be discovered during slicing.

653
00:43:36,030 --> 00:43:38,069
What about the Bridge of the Americas,

654
00:43:38,070 --> 00:43:40,839
right outside the Miraflores Locks?

655
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:41,879
The abutments

656
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:46,029
of the two ends on the beach
can serve as the pillars for stringing.

657
00:43:46,030 --> 00:43:48,279
The distance between
the abutments is too wide.

658
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,479
We will need a large amount of
Flying Blade materials.

659
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,589
Can we even make it
in such a short time?

660
00:43:53,590 --> 00:43:55,029
The construction of nanomaterials

661
00:43:55,030 --> 00:43:57,229
is a very precise and complex process.

662
00:43:57,230 --> 00:44:00,189
If the demand is too large,
I have to say,

663
00:44:00,190 --> 00:44:02,980
I can't make it within the time limit.

664
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:08,319
Can I suggest
the narrowest part of the Gaillard Cut?

665
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,999
It's 150 meters in cross.

666
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,149
Adding the slack,

667
00:44:13,150 --> 00:44:17,189
make it better
170 meters for the pillars.

668
00:44:17,190 --> 00:44:18,000
Excuse me.

669
00:44:18,001 --> 00:44:20,730
I need time to calculate it.

670
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:21,880
Excuse me.

671
00:44:21,881 --> 00:44:22,999
May I use this?

672
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,130
Thanks.

673
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,919
The existing nanomaterials...
If this plan is followed,

674
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,650
the distance between the two filaments
should be at least 50 centimeters.

675
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,549
That is to say, the ship

676
00:45:11,550 --> 00:45:13,959
has to cross the canal during the day.

677
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,359
Why exactly?

678
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,799
People on board have to sleep at night.

679
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,799
When a person is lying down,
the gap of 50 centimeters is too much.

680
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,709
No matter whether he is standing,
squatting, or sitting during the day,

681
00:45:25,710 --> 00:45:27,780
the distance

682
00:45:29,070 --> 00:45:31,530
is enough.

683
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,860
