The Wandering Planet

Ding Yi used the equipment he brought to monitor Sophon's movements. Without being able to communicate with the outside world, he was the most professional member of the hunting team, which was one of the reasons why Qiao Lv couldn't refuse to bring him over.

Under normal circumstances, the sophon will keep moving close to the speed of light all the time, so as to maintain its multi-threaded operation.

But Sophon has stopped now, almost completely still from a macro perspective.

It was because of this vision that Qiao Lv and the others had to hurry down to avoid any accidents.

"The presumption is that it has found a suitable electron and is trying to strip it from the atom. It must be stopped!"

Qiao Lv and the others started to move immediately, leaping from one atomic nucleus to another, shuttling through the probability cloud formed by electrons, everything around them was changing rapidly, as if they had entered a dream.

The so-called quantum refers to the smallest unit that can express the characteristics of a certain substance or physical quantity. The physical theory that describes the microscopic physical world is quantum mechanics.

From this level, Qiao Lv and the others have already entered the quantum realm, which can be said to be the first level of the quantum realm, the microscopic world at the subatomic level.

This is already full of uncertain factors, making it increasingly unpredictable what will happen next.

Finally, they arrived at the atom where the sophon was, and after passing through the foggy probability cloud, they landed on the nucleus as if landing on a planet.

Here, Qiao Lv finally saw the true face of Sophon, the devil who has locked human civilization and technology for hundreds of years, with an unimaginable angelic face.

On the colorful atomic nucleus stood a petite figure in a gorgeous Japanese kimono, like a girl surrounded by flowers.

When Qiao Lu saw her face clearly, the flowers were overshadowed. It was hard to imagine such a perfect female appearance, probably only 2B as an automaton could match it.

She smiled lightly, like a spring water wrinkled by the breeze, and the sunlight in the water rippled softly. From the inside to the outside, there was one word—softness, which couldn't be connected with the nightmare-like Sophon.

"This is Tomoko!?"

Liu Peiqiang raised his gun vigilantly, but he still couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was their target.

Qiao Li said decisively: "In higher dimensions, the complexity and the number of structures inside the particles rise sharply. Even a single proton can contain the entire universe. She came to see us like this on purpose. Don't let your guard down!"

The reason why he can be so sure is because Sophon appears in this image in "Three-Body 3: Immortal Death".

In a sense, it is the result of the self-evolution of Sophon's artificial intelligence. Due to the long-term observation of human society, she designed such an image for herself.

From a macroscopic point of view, she is still a proton, but when the perspective reaches the subatomic level, a sophon can already show complex structures and shapes.

The result is what Qiao Li and the others saw, the appearance Sophon designed for himself.

"welcome."

Sophon smiled and said, as if the host was welcoming his guests, without any sense of crisis about to face a fierce battle.

Her voice, as thin and soft as her body, was barely audible, but seemed magical, as if when she spoke all other voices stopped to make way for her whisper.

The very few people in the team have forgotten that they are an alien invader in front of them, and the powerful Trisolaran civilization controlling her four light years away, and they are just a beautiful and docile woman in front of them.

The special thing is that her femininity is too strong, like a drop of concentrated paint, if she is thrown into a big lake and melted, then the whole lake will be the color of a woman.

There is no doubt that this is the result Sophon wants to achieve, to let humans relax their vigilance through camouflage.

But Qiao Lv didn't accept this. Although Tomoko's appearance was unexpected, it was still reasonable and wouldn't make him feel hesitant.

He pulled out a pistol, which was a weapon specially designed to deal with sophons. The bullets inside were shrunken antihydrogen atoms, and the interior of the matter was almost empty, so annihilation would only occur after hitting the target.

Qiao Li pulled the trigger, and the antihydrogen atoms whizzed towards Sophon, but just flew past her hair and shot into the probability cloud behind.

Maybe it hit some moving electron, and it burst into a dazzling fire in the vague probability cloud.

The mass of an antihydrogen atom is only to the -27th power, and it will be reduced by tens of thousands of times after shrinking, so the power of the explosion is not very great.

What's more, Sophon is not afraid of explosions. Even if it is blown into countless pieces, she can reassemble and restore it in an instant. This process only takes one millionth of a second.

So what Qiao Li needs is to use antihydrogen atoms to annihilate the etched circuit in the body of the sophon. The total area of ​​the microscopic circuit in two dimensions is equivalent to dozens of times the land area of ​​the entire earth. Only by destroying this part can the sophon be truly eliminated.

But it didn't look easy, Sophon's speed was much faster than expected, at least faster than the antihydrogen atoms shot out by Qiao Li, so she easily dodged it.

"Oh, I hope to have a good talk with you, isn't this what you humans want?"

Sophon's evasive movement is soft and elegant, as if she is spinning and dancing, and the long sleeves of the kimono fluttering with it also emphasize this impression.

However, this action also revealed that she had a long samurai sword pinned to her back and a shorter Japanese sword at her waist, indicating that she was not as harmless as she appeared on the surface.

After Qiao Li fired the first shot, the other members also reacted one after another, and fired after him.

In an instant, a hail of bullets hit her head, but Sophon was not afraid at all, and dodged the flying antihydrogen atoms at will. Even if she could be eliminated, it would be meaningless as long as she couldn't hit her.

Sophons can move close to the speed of light. In this subatomic microcosm, this speed will only appear more exaggerated.

That alone was scary enough. In Sophon's eyes, Qiao Lv's movements were probably no different from standing still.

Through the quantum sensing array, she can accurately determine the trajectory of the antihydrogen atom in a very short time, and then move to an appropriate distance to dodge.

For a long time, sophons rely on this ability to replace the target particles in high-energy accelerator experiments to receive impacts, and then intentionally give wrong and chaotic results, so as to interfere with the development of basic physics of mankind.

It can be said that she can even catch the "bullet", so it is not difficult to dodge it!
