I've been over the kinetic energy of the Droplet previously, but there's another aspect of the destruction of each ship that may be overlooked, but is extreme; the energy to melt each ship.
As the Droplet hits the Infinite Frontier (and the more than 2000 other battleships it will destroy in...
The droplets can achieve maximum speeds of 25,000km per second, and are capable of crossing 15,000,000km in 10 minutes.
T = 25000km/1s
= 25000000/299792458 X 100
= 8.33910238% C
Of course, as the droplets primary method of attack is ramming, we can also get the kinetic energy for this...
The Droplet makes itself known, and terror ensures.
1. The Droplet destroys the combined SFJCs space fleet
The first Trisolaran probe, the Droplet, reaches the Solar System, and humanity is not close to prepared for the horrors this can unleash, with it wiping out the entire space fleet of 2015...
More calcs and numbers from The Dark Forest!
1. SFJC ships maximum acceleration
Ships of the Solar Fleet Joint Conference have a maximum acceleration of 15% C.
2. SFJC railguns
On top of another reference to their spaceships being able to reach 15% the speed of light, there's also another...
Earth's Remembrance continues to be a captivating, fantastic and more than often insane series. It also has quite a few impressive feats, some of which are given to us directly!
1. First Stellar Hydrogen Bomb test
This bomb creates a mass of land like a mountain to rise 3000m (3km) up and...
The Three-Body Problem is a fantastic science fiction novel. So why not calc it?
1. The Trisolarians fleet speed
The ships of Trisolaris can achieve a maximium velocity of 10% the speed of light. Simple enough. However, the ships can only maintain this velocity for a limited period of time...
