When humans fight against the Trisolarans, will they have a chance of winning by using “nano flying blades” to fight against “water droplets”?

"Water drops" and "nano flying blades" are both substances in the novel "The Three-Body Problem" and do not exist in reality. Both of them are very powerful. "Water drops" are strong interaction force weapons made by the Three-Body people using high technology, while "nano flying blades" are weapons made by humans to deal with human rebels.

First, let’s understand what a “water drop” is.

Judging from the technical principles described in "The Three-Body Problem", the "water drop" mainly uses the strong interaction force, which is the strongest force among the four fundamental forces in the universe. This force only exists at the subatomic level, that is, the binding force of the atomic nucleus; while the nano-flying blade uses the electromagnetic force above the atomic level.

The properties and strengths of these two forces are completely different, so the things they produce are completely different. The strong force is more than 100 times stronger than the electromagnetic force, but its range of action is very small, only one quadrillionth of a meter, that is, it can only act between hadrons inside the nucleus; while the electromagnetic force has a very large range of action, even infinitely far, a typical example is the electromagnetic radiation that fills the universe, and can still be received over a distance of more than 10 billion light years.

According to the novel "The Three-Body Problem", the outer shell of a water droplet utilizes strong interaction force, but this material does not, like white dwarfs and neutron stars, drastically change the density of matter and become electron or neutron degenerate matter. Instead, the Three-Body people used technology unknown to humans to make the strong interaction force that originally existed inside the nucleus "overflow" outside the atom, that is, to expand this force to one hundred billionth of a meter away.

The three-body water drop detector is 3.5 meters long and in the shape of a water drop, with a round head and a pointed tail. Its surface is a fully reflective mirror. To the human eye, it looks like a drop of liquid mercury, pure and beautiful, clearly reflecting the surrounding starry sky environment.

On Earth, any object observed under a microscope will become rough. If magnified a thousand times, even an astronaut's smooth helmet will become rough. If magnified ten thousand times, it is almost impossible to see anything smooth. However, in the description in "The Three-Body Problem", scientist Ding Yi magnified the surface of a "water droplet" by one hundred thousand times, one million times, and ten million times, and it was still smooth!

Ding Yi concluded that the strong force of the atoms on the surface of the "water drop" "nailed" the atoms, making them not vibrate at all, so the water drop was absolutely smooth and became an indestructible weapon. Later, the water drop simply used the most primitive "iron head skill" to hit, just like cutting tofu, destroying the interstellar fleet that humans had built up over many years. More than 2,000 giant starships were destroyed, and only 4 escaped by chance.

The reason why water droplets have such capabilities, in addition to being extremely hard and smooth, is that they have several black technologies that are incomprehensible to humans: they use a special "halo" propulsion, have extremely fast acceleration, and can withstand gravitational acceleration of up to a terrifying 8673.5G. The speed reached when destroying a gravitational wave transmission tower is 25,000 kilometers per second; braking and steering completely violate the laws of conservation of momentum and angular momentum, and can suddenly turn around on the spot or make any sharp angle at any high speed.

The combination of these black technologies led to the tragedy of more than 2,000 human starships being destroyed.

Let's talk about "Nano Flying Blade"

The so-called "nano flying blade" is just a kind of filament with extremely high toughness and strength made by humans using nanotechnology. This filament is only one-tenth the thickness of a hair and invisible to the naked eye, but it can cut steel and various hard objects, and is also known to be indestructible. However, this indestructibility is only for materials on Earth. In the description of the novel "The Three-Body Problem", it is only for a human-made cruise ship "Judgment Day".

The owner of the Judgment Day cruise ship is Mike Evans, the founder of the Earth Trisolarian Movement, and the leader of the so-called Earth rebels, the Adventists, who are anti-human and have connections with the Trisolarians. All the information about their communications with the Trisolarians is stored in the hard drive of the cruise ship's computer. If humans get this information, it will be of great significance to deal with the invasion of the Trisolarians in the future.

However, if conventional warfare was used to eliminate the rebels, it was likely that the information would be destroyed when they were threatened. After discussing the feasibility of various plans, the United Nations formulated the so-called "Guzheng Operation" based on Shi Qiang's proposal.

This operation was based on intelligence that the Judgment Day would pass through the Panama Canal on a certain day. Operation Guzheng was to set up two pillars on both sides of the canal, and to tie the "nano flying blades" vertically to the pillars at intervals of 50 centimeters across the canal. In order to prevent the "nano flying blades" from cutting through the pillars, the same nano material was wrapped underneath the flying blades.

In this way, when the "Judgment Day" passes through the canal, it will be dismembered by these extremely sharp filaments like cutting tofu. The hard drive containing information may also be cut, but it will be cut very flatly and the data inside can be restored.

The operation was successful. When the "Judgement Day" cruise ship passed through the "wall" composed of these invisible "nano flying blades", the giant ship, Evans and his followers were cut into pieces by the "nano flying blades". A generation of anti-human heroes was inexplicably destroyed, and the United Nations also obtained the information it needed.

This battle was very impressive and powerful, and the nano blades were indeed indestructible. But from another perspective, this was just a weapon used by Earthlings against Earthlings, and it was nothing compared to the "water droplets".

Therefore, from the nature of these two weapons, they are not at the same level at all.

The "water droplets" were created by the Trisolarans using high technology that humans cannot crack, and are used to deal with humans; the latter are created by humans based on known theories, and are used to deal with humans' own "rebels".

If we must compare "nano blades" with "water drops", my conclusion is: "nano blades", which are "thin filaments" that seem indestructible on Earth, are completely on a different level from the strong force of "water drops" and will be killed instantly in front of "water drops"; moreover, the shocking black technologies on the "water drops" are completely beyond the reach of these "nano blades".

Although the process of the "Nano Flying Blade" cutting the "Judgment Day" was terrifying, they were, after all, just some "thin threads" simply set up on the river channel and waiting for an opportunity to come. They could only deal with a cruise ship. If they encountered a "water droplet" with intelligent particle detection function and amazing control ability, the stealth function would be completely useless, let alone a confrontation.

In fact, when the "water drop" destroyed the human starship fleet and the underground gravitational wave transmission tower, it had already killed any human technology in seconds. If those few "filaments" can resist, why don't humans use them? In "The Three-Body Problem", the only way for humans to deal with the invasion of the Three-Body Problem is that Luo Ji discovered the so-called "Dark Forest Law" and became a sword holder, threatening to send the coordinates of the Three-Body civilization into the universe.

If the coordinates of the Trisolarans are released, the coordinates of humanity itself will also be exposed, and both sides will attract the destructive cleansing of the higher civilizations, and ultimately end up with a result of mutual destruction. This is exactly the ending of "The Three-Body Problem", the Trisolaran world and the solar system have disappeared, and the Trisolaran civilization and human civilization have also vanished.
