Chapter 121 The Vast Universe
The universe is vast and boundless.
It was pitch black here, with radiation, extreme high and low temperatures, and various intense cosmic rays. Ordinary organisms simply could not survive in this environment.
In the universe, Earth is smaller than a speck of dust. If a person were to stand here, they would feel indescribably small, isolated, and helpless. If ordinary people on Earth had the chance to see this scene, they would feel an extreme sense of despair.
The distance between Earth and the Moon is about 400,000 kilometers. This distance is enough to fit all the planets, including Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, in a straight line between them.
Blue Star, at least 50 to 60 million kilometers away from the nearest other planet, is an astronomical figure.
The entire solar system, apart from the sun and these planets, is just so huge, so vast, so empty and boundless, with nothing at all.
This is enough to show how vast and empty the universe is.
As for the starlight seen on Earth, it comes from an immeasurably distant place, and the light we see may be from millions or tens of millions of years ago.
In the vast universe, all scales of measurement on Earth are no longer suitable. Even the distance between Earth and the Sun, an astronomical unit, is insufficient to measure its vastness.
As the largest unit of distance defined by Earth, the light-year is barely enough to bear the heavy responsibility of measuring the vast universe.
Here, there is no clear direction, no clear frame of reference; up, down, left, and right are all one's own feelings, and there is only endless darkness in all directions.
The distance between the Trisolaran world and the Blue Star world is four light-years.
Although Yun Chen appeared incredibly small, he was moving horizontally across the universe. With a split of his hands, his speed of movement was faster than that of advanced quantum entanglement. With a single step, he leaped across the starry sky, traversing an unknown distance.
For him, this was nothing.
After all, he has become an Immortal Emperor, and he is above the laws of the universe. What laws could possibly restrict him?
However, his speed was still slower at this moment because his power was sealed by himself, and he was only one billionth of what he originally had.
It took him several minutes, on Earth, to cross about 3.5 light-years and arrive in an unknown void.
Ahead lay darkness and emptiness.
It was completely empty; there was nothing there.
However, Yun Chen saw that there was a point of light shining brightly several dozen astronomical units ahead.
That was the interstellar fleet of the Trisolaran world.
Just as they said, they have located the Earth, and the space fleet is on its way.
This point of light is tiny in the universe, but it is enormous when measured on the scale of Earth!
This is an unprecedented space fleet.
Its main ship is entirely black, shaped like a shuttle, and ten kilometers long. It is forged from a completely new and unknown cosmic metal, and the forging technology is also completely unknown on Earth.
In addition, there were 500 secondary ships lined up on both sides, each of them a kilometer in size and made of the same material. There were ten such formations of fleet, with a total of ten main ships and five hundred secondary ships.
Furthermore, these fleets were moving at an extremely high speed, propelled forward at a frenzied pace by some unknown fuel.
Furthermore, after a long cooldown period, it can lead the entire fleet on a space jump!
This speed far surpasses the speed of any known man-made flying object in the secular world of Earth, exceeding all comprehension.
How far is four light-years? Measured on the scale of Earth, it's roughly 40 trillion kilometers.
The distance between Earth and the Moon is approximately 40 kilometers, which is a hundred million times the distance between Earth and the Moon!
Cloud Dust rapidly approached the space fleet.
He wasn't moving fast, but he saw these enormous creatures.
The Trisolaran world is indeed a highly advanced alien civilization.
Those humanoid creatures, with large heads and small bodies, would probably be less than a meter tall on Earth.
The beings in this civilization communicate transparently through brainwaves. Their social structure is a highly centralized autocratic system, and they exist in an absolutely rational civilization, procreating through the union of the sexes.
Yun Chen saw the Trisolarans; the entire fleet brought approximately one billion people.
Moreover, this is just a vanguard team.
A fleet can almost represent an entire civilization.
As an Immortal Emperor, Yun Chen was unfazed by this and remained completely unmoved. After all, with his extensive knowledge and vast experience, he had seen countless kinds of living beings, and he had long since formed similar images of this life form in his memory.
At this moment, aboard the Trisolaran flagship.
After the Supreme Commander issued the order, all Trisolarans went into hibernation, leaving only a number of technical personnel to remain at their posts.
A hundred years later, they will arrive in their new home.
They were very confident that they could completely invade Earth, and this time they were going to wipe out all advanced life forms on Earth.
Coexisting with Earthlings is impossible.
With their level of civilization, they could destroy all life on Earth by simply throwing out a small object.
This is a difference in strength; how could we possibly coexist with the Earthlings?
The Supreme Commander of the Trisolarans directed the fleet forward.
Little did they know, danger was already creeping in.
Yun Chen appeared in front of the main ship, and even the most advanced detection equipment could not detect him.
As the Trisolaran fleet advanced, he faced it, moving backwards and sideways, always maintaining a distance of several tens of kilometers from the Trisolaran flagship.
After observing for a few seconds, he transformed into a slapping immortal, slapping out horizontally with terrifying power!
Those ship hulls were all blown to pieces!
There was not a single word of communication, not a single exchange.
That's how casual it is.
For the Trisolarans, wiping out all life on Earth is as simple as crushing an insect. They don't even need any communication. Just throw a "water droplet" or a "two-dimensional foil"—the simplest of objects—and Earth will be completely destroyed.
And wasn't that how Yun Chen saw them too?
From the Trisolarans' perspective, my destruction of you is none of your business.
But for Yun Chen, this relationship was much more significant.
Since you want to invade Earth and wipe out all the people on Earth, then I will not let you succeed!
The reason I wiped you out was because you brought it upon yourselves!
You can stay here forever.
Yun Chen casually slapped out with his hand.
This Trisolaran fleet, consisting of ten main ships and five hundred auxiliary ships, supporting nearly a billion people in the Trisolaran world, exploded all at once, blooming into a dazzling display of fireworks in the void of space, illuminating the boundless darkness for a moment.
They perished without the slightest pain.
Then, Yun Chen traversed the void and continued forward, each step covering an extremely long distance as he charged toward the star system where the Trisolaran world was located!
How could we not uproot it completely?
Since the Trisolaran world is headed for destruction, I will lend them a hand and send them off on their final journey.
Before long, Yun Chen arrived at the star system where the Three-Body world was located and saw a desolate giant star. Around it, three suns were constantly entwined and rotating. This was the Three-Body system.
On that desolate planet, there exists a large number of life forms, namely the Trisolaran civilization.
Those three sun-like stars have reached their end and are about to collapse, completely altering the living environment of the Trisolaran world.
In just tens of thousands of years, the entire Trisolaran civilization will be unable to continue and will be completely destroyed. They will be forced to leave their home and wander the universe in search of a new place to live.
With their advanced civilization, they naturally found Blue Star, four light-years away. After making contact with Sophon and gaining a deep understanding of Blue Star's civilization level, they dared to send a fleet there, planning to arrive at Blue Star in a hundred years and make it their second home.
