元首接着说:“现实是,在四百五十万时后,当三体舰队到达地球所在的行星系时,那个文明的技术水平已在加速发展中远超过我们!三体舰队经过那么漫长的航行,中间还要穿越两条星际尘埃带,很可能只有一半的飞船到达太阳系,其余的将损失在漫长的航程中。到那时,三体舰队在地球文明面前将不堪一击——我们不是去远征,是去送死!”
"But if this is true, Princeps, then there are even more frightening consequences..." the ilitary consul said.
“如果真是这样,元首,还有更可怕的……”军事执政官说。
"Yes. It's easy to imagine. The location of Trisolaris has been exposed. To eliminate future threats, an interstellar fleet from Earth will launche a counterattack against us. It's very possible that long before an expanded sun swallows this planet, Trisolaran civilization will have already been extinguished by humans."
“是的,这很容易想到。三体文明的位置已经暴露,为了消除未来的威胁,地球的星际舰队将反攻我们的星系。很可能,在膨胀的太阳把这颗行星吞没之前,三体文明已经被地球人消灭了。”
The bright future had suddenly turned impossibly grim. The attendees fell silent.
光明灿烂的前景突然变得如此黯淡,使会场沉默了好久。
The princeps said, "What we must do next is contain the progress of science on Earth. Luckily, as soon as we received the first messages from Earth, we began to develop plans to do so. As of now, we've discovered a favorable condition fro realizing these plans: The response we just received was sent by an Earth traitor. Thus, we have reason to believe tha there are many alienated forces within Earth civilization, and we must exploit such forces to the fullest."
