The last but also
the most important question.

So far,

the Trisolaris has only sent radio waves

to the Earth?

Almost true.

Almost?

The current Trisolaran civilization

of the journey between there and here.

is capable of flight
at one-tenth the speed of light,

it should take only 40 years
to reach the solar system.

Why do you say that it would take
more than 400 years?

Here's the thing.

The Trisolaran Interstellar Fleet
is composed of incredibly

Also, the source of propulsion
for the Trisolaran ships

is matter-antimatter annihilation.

Matter-antimatter annihilation?

Then is there a large magnetic field
in front of each ship?

Is there a large magnetic field
in front of each ship?

Yes.

If that's the case,

it indeed takes 400 years.

Then what did you mean by
"almost" just now?

We're talking about

the speed of space flight
within a certain context.

Outside this context,
even backward human beings

By "context", she probably means
at the macro scale.

At a micro scale, we can already
use high-energy particle accelerators

to speed up micro particles
to near the speed of light.

Those micro particles you mentioned
are the "objects", right?

You're clever.

I'm flattered.

I have the world's
foremost scientists behind me.

Yes,

they're micro particles.

Six years ago,
in the distant triple star system,

Trisolaris accelerated
two hydrogen nuclei

to near the speed of light

Two protons?

They only sent two protons?

That's almost nothing.

General Chang,

you also said "almost".

That's the limit of Trisolaran power.

They can only accelerate something

as small as a proton
to near the speed of light.

Over a distance of four light-years,

they can only send two protons.

They're a lock.

A lock? What are they locking?

The progress of human science.

any important scientific developments.

Evans once said that the day of arrival

of the two protons was also the day

that human science died.

Physics doesn't exist.

Is everything I know

the truth?

General Chang,

this is Wang Miao.

OK, thanks, Professor Ye.

Let's call it a day.

Someone wants to see you.

Thank you for seeing me.

There is a question

that I haven't answered you.

Is it about Yang Dong?

Dong

didn't like to watch
the news on current events,

because she had a basic belief that

life and the world

might be ugly,

but at the end of the micro and macro,

it was harmonious and perfect.

Don't come over.

she didn't have to think that way.

Without physics, she could still live.

I talked with Shen Yufei.

Yang Dong tried to make changes.

Perhaps she did that to save herself.

But I don't know

why she eventually
chose to end her life.

That's because

I destroyed

the other half of her life.

But,

they were actually one thing.

To be exact,

I was the one

who destroyed Dong's life.

♪ The cruel choice of nature ♪

I know you always think

there are many doubts
about Yang Dong's death.

I have doubts, too.

If I tell you,

it's partly because of physics,

and partly because of Professor Ye,

will it clear your doubts?

What do you think?

Physics has never existed,
and will never exist.

Honestly, I think just the opposite.

I think Yang Dong's suicide note
becomes even more strange.

Let's do a sociological
thought experiment

with Yang Dong as an example.

Quantum collision failed.

The foundation of physics
seemed to have collapsed.

This should be new hope.

Yang Dong couldn't
have failed to see this,

but she still chose...

chose to kill herself.

She must have seen
something more long-term than us.

But what did she see?

How did she see?

Both of us can't figure it out.

Your experiment just now
took the two protons locking the Earth

as a necessary condition.

Do you really believe that?

The Trisolarans
shot two protons at the Earth

from four light-years away

It's like...

It would require more precision

than shooting
a mosquito here from Pluto.

The shooter is beyond imagination, right?

So what does that mean?

I don't know.

I don't know.

What do you think
those micro particles

such as protons, neutrons
and electrons look like?

They would just look like a point,
but with different structures.

The image in my head
is more realistic than yours.

Look what this is.

A cigarette filter.

Looking at this tiny thing
from where you stand,

how would you describe it?

It's practically just a point.

If this little sponge is spread open,
the adsorbent surface area

can be as large as my living room.

Do you smoke pipes?

I don't smoke.

Pipes use a more advanced filter.

Three yuan for one.

It's filled with active charcoal.

If you take out all the infill,
it looks like mouse droppings.

But spread open,

the adsorbent surface formed by
the tiny holes inside

is as large as a tennis court.

This is why active charcoal
is so adsorbent.

So, what are you trying to say?

Well, the sponge or active charcoal
is three-dimensional.

But their adsorbent surfaces
are two-dimensional.

Thus, you can see how a
high-dimensional structure

can contain a huge
low-dimensional structure.

But at the macroscopic level,

this is the limit of the ability
for high-dimensional space

to contain low-dimensional space.

Because God was stingy.

During the big bang, he only

provided the macroscopic world
with three dimensions,

but this doesn't mean that
higher dimensions don't exist.

Up to eight dimensions
are locked within the micro scale.

So what?

What do you think is the mark of a
civilization's technological advancement

in the universe?

The view of dimensions.

I think it's the ability to control
and make use of micro dimensions.

Making use of fundamental particles
is something that our ancestors

already did back when
they drilled wood to make a fire.

Utilizing chemical reactions is just

manipulating micro particles
at the one-dimensional level.

Of course, this utilization
also progressed from crude to advanced,

from bonfires to steam engines,
and then generators.

But now, the ability for humans to manipulate
micro particles at the macro level

has reached a peak.

We have computers and nanomaterials.

But all of this, from the perspective of a more
advanced civilization in the universe,

is accomplished without

unlocking the many dimensions.

That's why
they think of humans as mere turkeys.

What does all you said

have to do with those two protons?

Ultimately, what can they do?

A single cilium on a bacterium
can contain several billion protons.

Even if the two protons turned entirely
into energy on the tip of my finger,

at most it would feel like a pinprick.

Even if they turned into energy
on a bacterium,

the bacterium probably
wouldn't feel anything.

Not to mention you.

Then what were you trying to say?

Nothing.

I don't know anything.

What can a turkey know?

But about this thing,
you know more than I do.

You are not at a loss as I am.

At least you can tell me what you know.

- Tell you what I know?
- Yes.

If I tell you what I know,

you really won't be able to sleep.

What's the point of worrying?

Learn from Shi Qiang.

Just do the best
within your responsibility.

I'll go drinking
and then go back to sleep like a turkey.

Mom. Mom.

Look, Dad is smoking.

When did you come in?

Play outside.

Let Dad do his work.

Mom, don't let Dad smoke.

OK. I won't let Dad smoke.

Go and play.

What's wrong?

Is there a problem
with your experiment?

Why do you say that?

The last time you stared
at something in a daze was when

the nanomaterial lab was built.

That wasn't worth mentioning.

Is that so serious?

No.

I mean I was young back then.

When I had a problem,
I always thought it was big.

Now looking back, they were nothing.

All academic problems
are a matter of time.

Over time,
all problems can be solved.

Dad,
it's your turn to tell me a story today.

Doudou, don't disturb Dad.

It doesn't matter.
I happen to be free today.

Come.

Dad will tell you how
a magician outwitted a dragon.

Come.

Be a good girl.

Come.

Once upon a time,
there was a magician who had been

trying to make magic potions
and practice magic.

But one day, a dragon came.

It destroyed the magician's magic hut,
knocked over his magic potion,

He went through countless hardships
to find the dragon's nest,

and declared war on it.

At last, the magician
defeated the dragon

and took back his magic fruit.

Dad, you're also a magician.

You magically put the egg in the bottle.

So you are brave, too.

Thanks.

Why did the dragon fight the magician?

Is there any chance that
they finally became friends

and fought no more?

Wang Miao, your friend came to see you.

Dad, it must be the dragon.

Be careful.

Dad is a magician.

Dad isn't afraid.

Are you Wang Miao?

Excuse me, you can't smoke here.

The hallway, we can talk in the hallway.
You can't smoke there either.

Are you OK?

Yes.

I just recollected the old days.

I mean your health.

I'm fine.

Don't worry.

I'm not radioactive anymore.

Because of a tiny nuclear bomb,
they've washed me inside and outside

like a flour sack.

No sooner than you left the hospital,
you came to knock on my door.

Is it urgent?

It's urgent.

Come with me.

No, I'm busy this afternoon.

This afternoon,
we'll rearrange your schedule.

There's a car waiting downstairs.

Will you come or not?

I want to recall the old days, too.

Will you come or not?

Do I have a choice?

I read Ye Wenjie's interrogation record.

It said that the Trisolarans sent
two protons to the earth.

What are the protons?

What's the Trisolarans' purpose?

The two protons they sent
are too small to be seen.

But they can lock human science.

Just like when you fought with someone,

you did your utmost,
while by throwing two hairs,

your opponent made you stiff
and unable to move.

This information is like the countdown
and weighs heavily on our minds.

Is that the sense of vicissitudes
you educated people always say?

It feels like human civilization
soon became aging.

Cut the crap.

It's only been a month.

What civilization would age so fast?

Wang Miao, answer me,

do you want to

play a game with me and all humanity?

Do I have a choice?

Good.

Come.

Dr. Ding and I seem to be
the only scientists here.

You were not supposed to
attend the meeting, not even me.

Don't you see
they are all military officers?

I insisted on
attending the meeting with you.

Why did you insist on doing this?

We can do nothing to help arrest Evans.

Not necessarily.

The first time I saw you, I thought,

perhaps, you're a good knife for murder.

Are you still in the mood to joke?

I didn't joke.

Probably,

the two of us are going to

take the lead, make our mark,
and stand out.

How do you like my idioms?

Good morning.

Everyone at this meeting

now has a basic understanding
of the situation.

According to our agreement,

we shared information in sync.

I'm sorry to tell you,

the war between alien invaders
and humanity has begun.

We have never faced an enemy

like this.

So our next common objective

is to capture the intercepted
Trisolaran messages

stored on Judgment Day?

Yes.

These messages
may have great significance

for our survival.

Please look.

This is Judgment Day.

in four days.

This seems to be our
best opportunity to take action.

Perhaps, such an opportunity
will never arise again.

The purpose of this meeting

is to discuss possible plans
of operation,

and then report one to three

of our best suggestions to Central.

This operation is very difficult.

Because any plan

must guarantee one thing,

which is the secure capture
of the Trisolaran messages.

According to the information
from the captured ETOs,

Judgment Day was rebuilt
from an old oil tanker.

Right now, we don't even know

the location of the computing center
on Judgment Day,

The most difficult part is
preventing the enemy from erasing

Trisolaran data during our attack.

If they just emptied a cartridge clip
at the server hard drive,

So basically, we need to clear the ship,
its entire crew,

Do we have any spies
on Judgment Day to control or move

the storage equipment elsewhere
right before our operation?

No.

Then we have nothing more
to discuss except bullshit.

A ball lightning weapon
can eliminate all personnel

within an enclosed structure
without harming other equipment.

I don't think this is feasible.

We don't know if the ship has been
equipped with magnetic walls

to shield against ball lightning.

What about a neutron bomb?

Also there's a problem.

The radiation from a neutron bomb
cannot put them to death immediately.

just like us.

Another option is nerve gas.

But from the time of our release to the
time it'll take to get around the ship,

it's more time than we have,

so that doesn't meet
the general's requirements.

The only other choices are

concussion bombs or infrasonic waves.

I use concussion bombs,
the toys, in police work.

They can indeed stun people
inside a building into unconsciousness,

but they're only good for a room or two.

Do you have any concussion bombs
big enough to stun

a whole ship full of people?

No.

Even if we had,
such a large explosive device

would certainly damage
equipment inside the ship.

What about infrasonic weapons?

No, it's not ready yet.
We're still in testing.

It's not ready for field.

Besides, the power we will need

for a ship that size...

It will barely be enough to cause

some dizzy spews or
maybe a bit of nausea.

I told you
all we have left to discuss is bullshit.

But you seemed to have ignored me.

Can't you translate
the word "bullshit"?

The general said
time was of the essence.

Hurry up.

Say what else have you got.

Are we going to
let the policeman run this?

Are you even qualified?

What do you mean?

I'm a policeman, so what?

A policeman isn't qualified.

So are you even qualified?

Colonel Stanton has been one of

the longest standing experts
in special ops,

and he has been in every
major operations since the Vietnam War.

I see.

Fine.

Then let me tell you why I'm qualified.

Before I became a policeman,
I was also in the military.

My reconnaissance squad once
sneaked dozens of kilometers

behind the enemy,

and captured a hydroelectric station
under heavy guard.

We prevented the enemy's plan
to demolish the dam with explosives,

which would have flooded
the attack route for our army.

That's why I'm qualified.

I defeated an enemy
who once defeated you.

Shi, say your plan.
Don't bring up irrelevant matters.

I don't think we need to continue
listening to this police.

Police?

I heard that word twice.

What?

You look down upon the police,
don't you?

To drop some bombs
and turn that ship into smithereens,

you military are the experts.

But to retrieve something
out of it without damage,

I don't care how many stars
are on your shoulder,

you aren't even as good as a thief.

For this kind of thing,
you have to think outside the box.

Out of the box.

You will never be

as good at it as criminals,

masters of out-of-the-box thinking.

Criminals could steal one car
out of a moving train.

They reconnected the cars before and
after the stolen one so that the train

got all the way to its destination.

The only tools they used
were a length of wire cable

and a few steel hooks.

Those are the real special ops experts.

And as a criminal cop

who has been playing cat and mouse
with them for more than a decade,

I've received the best education
and training from them.

Enough.

Tell us your plan.

Otherwise, shut up!

General,
there are so many important people here

that I didn't think
it was my place to speak.

And I was afraid that
you would say I was rude.

Now I see...

You're already being rude!
Tell us your out-of-the-box plan.

OK.

Look.

The middle
of the long table is the canal.

The iron frames are the banks.

This is Judgment Day.

I cannot put up with this idiot!

Get out of here!

I'll be done soon.

One minute.

Give me one minute.

One more.

Cigar.

One more.

We set up two pillars
on the shores of the canal,

and then between them
we string many parallel, thin filaments.

The filaments are the nanomaterial
developed by Professor Wang, Flying Knife.

Flying Blade.

Yeah, Flying Blade.

Nanomaterial.

It can cut clean through iron.

Done.

That's it.

Professor Wang,

is Flying Blade really
in the form of filaments?

Given our current
molecular construction technique,

the only form we can make is a filament.

The thickness is about one-hundredth
the thickness of human hair.

Could we get enough of that in time?

That depends on the width of the canal
and the height of the ship.

The narrowest point of the canal
is 150 meters wide.

The Judgment Day is 31 meters tall,
with a draft of eight meters or so.

There's probably enough.

Probably.

What if the equipment
holding the Trisolaran data,

the hard drives,
the optical disks, is sliced?

The filaments are extremely sharp,

and the cut surfaces
would be very smooth.

The data in those optical disks,
hard drives and storage

could probably be recovered.

Yeah.

Anyone got a better idea?

There's no other way.

Yes, all we can do is this.

This is our best option so far.

All right.

Then let's focus on this
and work out the details.

When Judgment Day passes,
can those two pillars

bear the force applied against
the Flying Blade filaments?

Is there any chance the pillars
could be sliced apart first?

Everyone, here is the thing.

The nanomaterial is thick at both ends
and thin in the middle.

We have some material
that are flat sheets.

We can use them to protect
the parts of the column

where the filaments are attached.

In addition, the filaments are too thin
to be seen with the naked eye.

So we need to label them
with fluorescent.

This way, in a special light,

we can check that
whether the filaments are straightened

and arranged neatly.

Judgment Day has a deep draft.

If we don't have enough time,

I don't think it will matter.
We shouldn't worry about it.

For the parts above the ship power,
above the waterline however,

if we can set
a tighter nanofilament net.

And the best place to set the trap
is one of the three locks along the canal.

Also, when the ship moves
through the locks

This is the time when the crew
are all on high alert.

There's a high probability that
we will be discovered during slicing.

right outside the Miraflores Locks?

The distance between
the abutments is too wide.

Can we even make it
in such a short time?

is a very precise and complex process.

If the demand is too large,
I have to say,

I can't make it within the time limit.

Can I suggest
the narrowest part of the Gaillard Cut?

make it better
170 meters for the pillars.

Excuse me.

I need time to calculate it.

Excuse me.

May I use this?

Thanks.

The existing nanomaterials...
If this plan is followed,

the distance between the two filaments
should be at least 50 centimeters.

That is to say, the ship

has to cross the canal during the day.

Why exactly?

People on board have to sleep at night.

is enough.

You are indeed a devil.
