Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Two or three days later, Wang Miao returned from space, bringing everyone news that was neither good nor too bad.

"Gabriel is now complete."

Gabriel is a space cannon built by more than 30 countries, led by the United States. It is deployed on the front of a lunar base and powered by hundreds of reactors.

Since this giant cannon is a particle beam weapon, the need for nuclear fusion technology is almost a necessity. Before Ding Yi develops controlled nuclear fusion technology, the power supply for this weapon in space will be a considerable problem.

This weapon works by sending charged particles into an accelerator, where they are accelerated to the desired speed under the influence of a powerful electric field.

At this point, launching the particle beam will produce tremendous destructive power.

Particle beam weapons fire high-energy particles that travel at near the speed of light, hitting targets in an extremely short time. They generally do not require lead time, meaning the target's direction of motion can be completely ignored. In games, this is also called a "lead shot".

Compared to beam weapons from Star Wars, it would be much more lethal, since the effect of firing a laser beam is completely different from compressing light particles into a single point and then flinging them out.

However, both weapons have their own advantages.

This thing is okay for defense, but it's a bit of a waste to put on a spaceship. It consumes a lot of energy, is slow, and it's very difficult to change direction after the light particle attack is launched. It's not as easy to use as a laser weapon.

Therefore, its true purpose is obvious to everyone.

This is a blatant show of force against the three fleets.

The moon does rotate, but its rotation period is the same as its revolution period, averaging 27 days. This is why the moon has a near and far side.

If you install Gabriel on the near side of the moon, wouldn't that be like constantly aiming your guns at the space station homeports of the three major fleets?

The home ports of the three fleets are the three new space stations built by mankind after the Reach Star space station.

Located at three different positions in geosynchronous orbit, they were connected to several space elevators that were later built to meet the needs of ship construction and fleet logistics for the three major fleets in the future.

Previously, the space force on the space station was relatively carefree. Occasionally, when they had nothing to do, they could even fly two spaceplanes from the home port and wander around the space station.

But now, with Gabriel, the situation is different.

If any of the three fleets dare to take any outrageous actions, Gabriel will instantly launch a light particle attack to bombard the home ports of the three fleets.

Once Gabriel blows up the home ports of the three major fleets, the Space Force will soon starve to death in space due to the lack of supplies from Earth. Therefore, this is the PDC's biggest trump card to threaten the entire three major fleets.

Previously, PDC thought of controlling Gabriel remotely, since a sophon is only the size of a proton, and even a single hair of a bacterium may contain hundreds of millions of protons.

It's not a problem to block its technology, but paralyzing Gabriel's entire signal or giving it an order to launch an attack is a bit difficult.

Lin Xuan also confirmed this point.

As can be seen from the original storyline, the Somozuru was merely used as a reconnaissance aircraft and was far from being as invincible as imagined.

Especially when the sixth thought stamping machine was found three years ago, Zhizi only played a little trick visually, which led to a group of drivers being led into a ditch by the navigation.

It's still very difficult to actually achieve the kind of remote control of machines to kill people like the Killer virus.

However, the reason for abandoning the proposal in the end was that the major powers did not trust each other. In the end, the PDC had no choice but to hand over the launch rights to the lunar base and establish three special firing guidelines.

First, bombing when the fleet is about to attack the lunar base.

Second, bomb the fleet when it tries to escape.

Third, the fleet should bombard the Earth when it has its cannons pointed at it.

If any one of the three conditions is triggered, the lunar base will be able to ignore the PDC's authorization and bomb the home ports of the three major fleets on its own.

This move completely enraged the space forces of the three fleets.

Numerous protests have been heard from the Space Force, but these have been limited to the Space Force and their families.

After all, the PDC has an absolute mass base. The masses don't care whether the Space Force feels uncomfortable being stared at by such a cannon. On the contrary, in their view, if the PDC doesn't have any means to restrict the Space Force, then something really bad will happen.

"Didn't we have military governors during wartime? The lunar base is just playing the role of a military governor. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Exactly, exactly. I think it's these space force members who have something to hide. Truly honest soldiers don't care about being monitored."

"Hey, I think the Space Force has gotten too lax these past few years. They all really think they're the bosses. I can't even afford to eat every month. What's wrong with me keeping an eye on you guys and keeping an eye on you?"

Lin Xuan had anticipated the predicament of the Space Force.

When Reach was being built, Lin Xuan told Wang Miao that Reach could build any module, but it absolutely could not build weapons, at least not now.

PDC will never allow a power outside their control to exist in the world. While granting you rights, they will also impose certain restrictions on you.

This applies to the Space Force as well as the Wallfacers, so he knew long ago that the so-called Wallfacers were nothing more than puppets of the PDC.

Therefore, Lin Xuan has been using a chain of suspicion to engage in a game of cat and mouse with PDC and the Three-Body world, achieving a delicate balance among the three parties.

It means getting involved in everything, but never dragging yourself down with it.

But now... it's time for me to break free from this situation.

"Zhizi, have you read Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Lin Xuan spoke to Zhi Zi, who was hiding beside her.

Zhizi quickly projected several lines of text in front of his eyes.

"Are you talking about the story of the three countries? I've read some of it, but I don't quite understand it."

Do you know why Sima Yi fell for the Empty City Stratagem?

"That's because once Zhuge Liang dies, Sima Yi will also lose his last value to Cao Wei."

"Since I dared to wipe out the entire ETO three years ago, I was naturally prepared to fight the entire PDC."

"Shock level from the Trisolaran governor +25".

This time, a line of text quickly appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes.

"Observer, what do you want to do?"

"Just watch."

"Of course you can help me out, if you're willing."

Lin Xuan did not explain her purpose to the Trisolaran world, but she gave them a general direction: she was about to take action against the PDC.

Without Tomoko causing trouble, my subsequent actions will be much smoother.

Although Lin Xuan has caused the Trisolarans a lot of trouble over the years, if the PDC really disappears, it would be a sure-fire deal for the Trisolarans.

Therefore, after only a brief moment of deliberation, the 12 Trisolaran governors made their decision.

They will stand with Lin Xuan again.

The scheme that Lin Xuan had laid out many years ago is about to come to light.
