Trisolarans: Earthlings' Hearts Are Dirty

Four light-years away, what had happened in that room on the Three-Body planet was instantly transmitted back here through Sophon quantum detection.

"He knows."

The leader's thought fluctuations echoed through the consciousness of the listening consul, carrying anger and a measure of helplessness.

"Yes, Leader. He knew from the very beginning that we were listening."

The Science Consul's stream of thought was equally calm, like a pool of undisturbed heavy water. "He laid the plan out on the table. This is an open scheme.

He is using our reaction to verify his theory."

"Macro-Atom Solidification Technology—can it work?"

"In theory, it is feasible.

Our observation reports on Civilization No. 173 recorded a similar phenomenon.

A civilization once attempted to transform its star into a macroscopic quantum state to evade light-particle strikes.

They failed. The star collapsed into a singularity.

But the theoretical foundation exists.

Forcing a quantum superposition state to collapse and stabilizing it in the macroscopic world requires more than energy. More importantly, it requires the correct 'observation' model and interference methods."

The Science Consul answered while transmitting the relevant data to the leader.

"You mean that if they begin researching macro-atoms, the Sophons will be unable to lock them down?"

"They can directly study and apply particles on the macroscopic level?"

After reviewing the report, the leader's thought fluctuations experienced violent turbulence for the first time. "Yes. Macro-atoms are microscopic particles expanded to macroscopic scales.

They possess the uncertainty of microscopic particles, yet can produce observable physical effects in the macroscopic world.

Sophons can interfere with the results of microscopic particle collisions, but they cannot stop an object that has already expanded to macroscopic dimensions.

Just as we can contaminate a water source, but cannot stop a flood that has already formed."

The Science Consul confirmed this terrifying
