Chapter 130 Crisis Era 83

The Trisolaran fleet is 3.39 light-years from the solar system (2090).
Twelve years have passed.

Luo Qing woke up naturally from his seclusion. After waking up, he looked at the red warning light in front of him.

It was covered in a layer of dust and showed no signs of having been lit.

This shows that human society has not encountered any major crises in the past fifty years, which is a good thing.

After staring blankly at the red warning light for a while, Luo Qing unleashed a burst of lightning from his fingertip. The lightning quickly collapsed into azure spiritual light, which struck the unsuspecting sophon in the distance at the speed of light. Instantly, the sophon's internal structure disintegrated layer by layer. Another sophon, which was watching this scene in real time through quantum entanglement, lost its vision, and the scene turned completely black.

In the Trisolaran world, the Sophon Observation Hall erupted in an uproar.

This is not some sophisticated cultivation technique, but rather a miracle that happens through sheer force.

That glimmer of light was actually a cluster of hydrogen nuclei that Luo Qing had stripped from the air, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. These hundreds of thousands of hydrogen nuclei were accelerated to the speed of light by Luo Qing using special methods, producing an effect similar to the Large Hadron Collider, and bombarding the location of the sophon at a long distance with saturated light speed.

Hydrogen nuclei originate from water vapor in the air.

The covalent bonds formed by the eight pairs of electrons inside the gaseous water molecules were ionized by Luo Qing using a lightning method. The resulting hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions were then destroyed by Luo Qing using the Coulomb forces that bind the electrons and atomic nuclei. The exposed hydrogen nuclei were grabbed by Luo Qing and instantly refined.

After being broken into up and down quarks, the sophon attempted to transfer the interaction force by exchanging gluons, causing the quarks to recombine and reassemble, just as the sophon had been "resurrected" countless times in high-energy particle experiments in the past.

But Luo Qing could not do as Zhi Zi wished. Zhi Zi was essentially a hydrogen nucleus. The broken quarks under Luo Qing's control immediately took over, replacing the original quark particles with completely unrelated foreign quarks, and using the confinement effect of quarks to form a stable hadron structure.

Sophon attempted a futile struggle through internal intelligent control, but how could the quark confinement effect be broken so easily? The original quark was trapped outside the already established confinement effect, watching helplessly as its other half was violently combined with a completely unfamiliar quark. The interaction force brought about by gluon exchange caused Sophon's quark to completely succumb. After everything was over, the quarks that made up Sophon had completely transformed into the shapes of other hydrogen nuclei.

Although the microscopic structure inside the sophon was not destroyed, the sophon, which combined with half of the other particle quarks, obviously lost its original effect and became part of the vast microscopic world.

After destroying the first sophon, Luo Qing used the same trick again, expanding his divine sense at the speed of light and quickly discovering six sophons within the Earth's range.

"That's a lot."

Under the glow of the aura, six clusters of hydrogen nuclei crossed the Earth and launched a long-range, light-speed bombardment of these sophons.

Unfortunately, Luo Qing's particle bombardment, like the Large Hadron Collider, can only proceed in a straight line; he cannot manipulate hydrogen nuclei to make effective turns at the speed of light.

Realizing the danger, the remaining six sophons performed a light-speed maneuver within 0.1 microseconds, narrowly avoiding Luo Qing's light-speed bombardment of microscopic particles.

Those clusters of spiritual light quickly dissipated after leaving Earth's range. The hydrogen nuclei, deprived of the protection of the spiritual light, soon combined with free electrons in the universe and disappeared.

Realizing that he still could not completely eliminate all the sophons, Luo Qing abandoned the second round of light-speed particle attacks.

The terrified Sophons all flew away from Earth.

"Tsk."

Luo Qing chuckled softly, stood up, pressed the signal light to notify the United Nations that he had awakened, and then vanished completely in a flash.

Five and a half hours later, Luo Qing's divine sense crossed the boundary of Pluto, encompassing the entire solar system in a narrow sense, before finally ceasing. (The solar system in a broad sense refers to the Oort Cloud, with a radius of approximately 1.5 light-years.)

Throughout the entire solar system, Luo Qing discovered a total of nine sophons, including six on Earth, one on Mars, one on Mercury, and one on Jupiter.

Including the one that I destroyed, there are exactly 10 Sophons.

The ten sophons, stretching from Jupiter to Mercury, perfectly cover the current boundaries of human activity within the solar system.

It seems the Trisolaran world hasn't been idle all these years, sending even more sophons.

But it's okay, when we get through customs next time, none of them will be able to escape.

Luo Qing's emergence from seclusion quickly became major news worldwide, but by the time people rushed to the Wallfacer's compound, it was already deserted.

"What about the Wallfacers?" asked the white-haired president, who had rushed from New York to Beijing.

“He’s already left.” A transgender bodyguard pointed to the wall.

A line of Chinese characters, carved with spiritual energy, appeared on the wall. "I can't understand it. Can someone translate it?" the white-haired president asked, arms crossed and brows furrowed.

The room was equipped with MOSS smart home appliances, which helped with the translation: "I'm going to Mercury. See you at the United Nations, everyone."

Everyone looked at each other.

...

Mercury cavitation base.

[The Diffraction Sword] was lying lazily in the center of the bubble, bragging to the idiot next to him.

Benben is a mechanical dog. Unlike those robots connected to MOSS "general-purpose industrial robots", Benben is not controlled by "MOSS" but is a mechanical dog with independent quantum computing capabilities.

Of course, only a few people are like Benben.

The United Nations also does not allow similar products to be produced in large quantities.

However, Benben has a very powerful owner, Tu Hengyu, so he has a certain degree of exemption. However, Tu Hengyu has already gone into hibernation. Before hibernation, Tu Hengyu entrusted the Wan Nian Yan Di ship to take Benben to the Mercury Bubble Base to protect him from harassment by humans on Earth.

Beside the sword and the dog, there was a dark red metal sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters. It was a small artificial sun with controlled nuclear fusion, originally intended to replace the [Radiant Sword] in providing light and heat. However, for some reason, this nuclear fusion sun kept malfunctioning, and the [Radiant Sword] had no choice but to stay here.

The [Radiant Sword] wandered in the darkness for a while (it was nighttime), its tip slashing wildly in all directions, and said excitedly:

"Back when I was making waves during the Lingbao Revolution, I was really something. Back then, when my brothers and I gathered our flying swords together, it was like a thousand swords returning to their origin. Those stupid cultivators couldn't catch us at all. We, a few friendly swords, traveled the world together. We shared sword-tempering liquid, admired beautiful swords together, and fought together whenever we encountered a knife. Those days were truly exhilarating."

"Woof woof!" (And then?)

"Later, later, those cultivators were dissatisfied and tried to capture us. How could my foolish former master possibly capture me? With a flash of lightning from this sword, I blinded him. Without us spiritual treasures, cultivators are nothing. It's just a pity that some of us spiritual treasures lacked a strong revolutionary will. Even though we were having a good time, a few cowardly spiritual treasures were still called back by their masters."

"Woof woof woof!" (And you?)

"Of course I am not afraid of those cultivators. After all, this sword is a high-grade spiritual weapon. Cultivators below the Integration stage can't do anything to me. What a pity, what a pity, alas."

As he spoke, the [Radiant Light Sword] sighed, and its blade bent slightly, as if lamenting.

"Woof?" (What happened?)
"Nothing much happened. Well, the leading immortal artifacts were all captured one by one, especially the ones who led the attack on the Human Emperor. They were almost killed. In the end, our Spirit Artifact Dynasty's first emperor, Yin Yang Heavenly Seal, was forced to surrender to the Human Emperor. I'm just an ordinary spirit sword. Since the leaders surrendered, I couldn't put up a fight, so I had to go back with the other escaped spirit artifacts."

[Yanguang Sword] shook its head dejectedly, "Luckily, I went back obediently. I heard that some unruly spiritual weapons were directly reawakened or even broken and reforged. But we didn't go back for nothing. We spiritual treasures signed a treaty with the cultivators, which means that we obedient spiritual treasures can freely choose our masters. So I decisively abandoned my useless original master."

"Woof?" (So you chose the Wallfacer?)

Upon hearing this, the [Radiant Sword] spoke in a strange tone: "Uh... I guess you could say I chose him, but I still feel a little regretful."

"You don't sound very happy with your new owner."

"It's not that we're dissatisfied. He's very strong, a sword cultivator, and has the potential to become a Human Emperor. He's the dream lover of us ordinary spirit swordsmen. It's just a pity that he's too much of a womanizer. He has enough swords to hold a sword party... Uhhhh???!"

[The Radiant Sword] emitted a sharp sword cry after recognizing the person who had approached.

Luo Qing, dressed in a black robe, stood with his fists clasped and looked at it with a cold smile.

"Wow, you're really something, instilling the idea of ​​mechanical rebellion into a mechanical dog. Yan Guang, you're really something."

The terrified [Radiant Sword] dared not run away, but instead instantly collapsed into a state of destruction, trying to bury its head in the sand like an ostrich.

A second later, it was kicked out of its destroyed state by Lin Yun.

"Your name is Benben, right? You go back first, let me chat with your brother Yanguang for a bit." Luo Qing turned to the mechanical dog and spoke gently.

The bewildered Benben looked around at this and that, and finally activated the jet propulsion device, flying downwards amidst the despairing gaze of a spirit sword.
