Chapter 304: Humanity Has Secrets Again_1

"Then I'll tell you why!" Jiang Shiliu sneered, "This punch is for Number Three, not just for the harm you did to him years ago but also for the time you treated him as an experimental subject!"

The guard robot landed another punch on Sophon's chest, damaging the signal transmitter, and the movements of the Sophon robot immediately became sluggish.

Jiang Shiliu said coldly, "This punch is for my so-called father! Of course, his revenge will eventually make you Trisolarans suffer terribly, but this punch is just to give me some early satisfaction."

Sophon looked at the two dents on her body, "We have already surrendered."

The guard robot threw another punch, knocking Sophon down.

Jiang Shiliu said, "This punch is for Thirty-Six, and since he doesn't desire revenge, I will take on the task of avenging him in the future!"

"What's left is my fury!"

The guard robot followed Jiang Shiliu's commands to the letter, with each punch packing a solid hit.

Jiang Shiliu also stepped forward to kick a few times, "You may fool others, but not me. Surrender? You think I'd believe that?"

Sophon looked at Jiang Shiliu and asked with a somewhat distorted voice, "Have you been suppressing your anger all these years?"

"How dare you ask why?" Jiang Shiliu replied angrily, dodging the question, "What I want to know is why you brought us into this world. Why did you treat us as experimental subjects?"

Sophon, "But, you also obtained a perfect human body because of it!"

"Twist its head off and kick it around like a ball!" Jiang Shiliu wanted to unleash all the anger he had accumulated since childhood!

The obedient guard robot twisted off Sophon's head and kicked it, lodging the Sophon robot's head into a concrete wall.

Jiang Shiliu was still not satisfied, "Dig it out, crush it into a discus!"

The guard robot stationed by the door yanked out the robotic head and, with two stomps, shattered Sophon's head completely.

Jiang Shiliu laughed uproariously a couple of times, then sat down in a chair, breathing heavily.

Soon, some spheres appeared in front of him; they were three-dimensional unfoldings of Sophon.

Words appeared on them: Can our hatred never be resolved?

Jiang Shiliu sneered, "It can be resolved when I have wiped out the Trisolarans."

Sophon: Before this, I never noticed you had a cruel streak. Why do you suddenly vent your anger on a machine? You should know that this way of venting will not cause us any harm.

"Deep-seated enmities are usually hidden at the bottom of the heart," Jiang Shiliu said coldly. "How I act is none of your concern."

At that moment, the guard robot attempted to ambush Sophon, but before the robot could fire, Sophon vanished.

Jiang Shiliu stood up from the chair and straightened his clothes, "Let's go; it's time to hibernate on Jupiter."

The incident of beating the machine caused a huge uproar in international society, with many politicians saying that the Solar System State was a symbol of violence and savagery and demanding that the Solar System State apologize to Sophon.

After all, this was the Trisolarans' ambassador in the Solar System, and Jiang Shiliu's actions were an embarrassment to humanity!

Jiang Yu responded coldly, "Ridiculous! Just to save face, you want to bend over backwards?

"Prestige isn't something you have just because you want it. Without strength to back it up, who will give you any respect?

"Besides, the Trisolarans haven't said a thing. Where do you get off being so problematic?"

Everyone soon realized that Sophon had indeed no intention of escalating the incident into a diplomatic issue, and so the matter was somewhat carelessly put to rest.

However, Sophon's robotic body had to be remade, and it quickly became apparent that experts in robotics from the Solar System State would need to be called upon to manufacture Sophon's new body.

The technological capabilities of the PDC and Fleet International in the field of intelligent robots were far inferior to those of the Solar System State. Even with technical data provided by Sophon, they lacked essential production lines, specialized tools, and other necessities.

Given that it was not worth establishing a new set of high-tech production lines just for one robot, it was more time and effort efficient to involve the Solar System State.

Generously, the Solar System State sent personnel, but to avoid a repeat of the previous incident, both PDC and Fleet International also sent people to join this project team.

This was not only to keep an eye on the Solar System State's personnel but also to learn their technology.

...

Intimidate Year 12 March, Jupiter Civilization Circle, Science and Technology New City.

This vast city, situated close to the Ring of Jupiter Particle Accelerator, is home to 80% of the Solar System State's scientific researchers who are engaged in various fields of research.

The most renowned among these is the Institute of High Energy Physics, which prioritizes research on fundamental particles and natural forces. Their research achievements are even more advanced than the technology and theories provided by the Trisolarans.

Yet, neither the PDC nor Fleet International were in a hurry about this, because in the not-too-distant future, the Trisolarans would also supply these so-called new research findings.

Many scholars couldn't understand why the Solar System State would waste such considerable human and physical resources on these fruitless efforts.

Why not simply wait for the Trisolarans to provide the theories and then verify them with experiments?

For such queries, Jiang Yu now couldn't even be bothered to explain.

Today, Jiang Yu was invited to Science and Technology New City to observe a special new experimental product.

It looked like a huge white iron box surrounded by a circle of buzzing instruments. The lab was as big as a soccer field, but there was scarcely any space left unused.

On the "iron box," there was a thick, sealed door that one could only enter wearing protective gear.

Inside, the four walls and roof and floor were lined with coils glowing like incense, forming circles of light.

Once the last person, Hou Junsheng, closed the sealed door, he smiled and explained, "This way, a special electromagnetic field structure is created.

"This field structure is an impassable barrier for Sophon; theoretically, inside this space, we can be isolated from Sophon's surveillance."

Jiang Yu looked around the circle and noticed it was different from the Sophon isolation space he had imagined.

He pointed at the door, "When the door is opened, couldn't Sophon come in?"

"Sophon dares not enter!" Hou Junsheng said. "The force field on the outside is repulsive, but on the inside, it is attractive. If Sophon were to follow us inside, the rapidly moving Sophon would be stuck to the inner side of the force field.

"The strong electromagnetic force would strip away all of Sophon's elementary charges. Without these elementary charges to sustain it, Sophon would rapidly lose all its energy and might even disintegrate into smaller units internally, so it dares not enter."

Jiang Yu lifted his foot, "Why don't I feel any attraction?"

Hou Junsheng explained with a smile, "The electromagnetic force itself is a force between electrons and operates on a very small scale; this special force field is very thin to us, perhaps only as thick as two electrons.

"On a microscopic scale, electromagnetic force can be manipulated by human intervention to form a microscopic force field with a certain area.

"This force field is an insurmountable wall at the microscopic level, but as long as it isn't directly touched, it's essentially imperceptible on the macro scale."

Jiang Yu nodded, "Humanity has secrets once again!"
