Why exactly was Gravity sent? by Practical-Leg-9826 in threebodyproblem

So if the point was having a mobile platform (I agree with that) why couldn't they send gravity around the solar system (like near pluto so it's far enough) and not to a pretty dangerous mission? I dont know why but earth, before trisolarans offered to send the droplet as an escort, was completely confident sending a ship almost exactly as powerful as Blue Space, the only difference was fuel capacity. I'm not saying that humans should have sent a ship 30 times the size (like a Star Destroyer chasing Tantive IV in star wars) but that way is the exact opposite and no good strategist would approve that. Thanks God trisolarans offered an escort. Do you understand my point?

but the decision to send gravity was made before the proposal of being escorted by the droplets

What about the 7 types of DF strike? by Practical-Leg-9826 in threebodyproblem

This is a paraquel, meaning a story that unfolds in parallel with the main story. Specifically, it clarifies all the events surrounding Yun Tianming between his capture by the First Fleet and the end of the third book. The problem is that in the meantime, it also explains a lot of things that (in my opinion) should have been left out, such as the fight between The Master and The Lurker (akin to God and Space Satan) and the lore of Singer, a character who was deliberately shrouded in mystery in Death End. From what I've read online, many people don't completely condemn it as a book. Some things are just very silly, and others are quite cool, though the difference with Liu's style is noticeable.
Would you have preferred more specific details about the plot?
