“我明白。”科学执政官说,“我们都仔细研究过第一批收到的地球信息,其中最值得注意的是他们的文明史。请看以下事实:人类从狩猎时代到农业时代,用了十几万地球年时间;从农业时代到工业时代用了几千地球年;而由工业时代到原子时代,只用了二百地球年;之后,仅用了几十个地球年,他们就进入了信息时代。这个文明,其有可怕的加速进化能力!
"On Trisolaris, of the more than two hundred civilizations, including our own,none has ever experenced such accelerating development. The progress of science and technology in all Trisolaran civilizations has been at a constant or decelerating pace. In our world, each technology age requires approximately the same amount of time for steady, slow development."
而在三体世界,已经存在过的包括我们在内的二百个文明中,没有一个经历过这种加速发展,所有的三体文明的科学和技术的进步都是匀速甚至减速的。我们世界的各个技术时代,都需要基本相同的漫长的发展时间。”
The princeps nodded. "The fact is that four million and five hundred thousand hours from now, when the Trisolaran Fleet has reached the Earth, that civilization's technology level will have long surpassed ours, due to their accelerating development. The journey of the Trisolaran Fleet is long and arduous, and the fleet must pass through two interstellar dust belts. It's very likely that only half of ships wil reach the Earth's solar system, while the rest perish along the way. And then, the Trisolaran Fleet will be at the mercy of a much more powerful Earth civilization. This is not an expdetion, but a funeral procession!"
