Book 1: The Three-Body Problem
- Ch 33The first unfolding made a one-dimensional string about fifteen hundred light-hours long that fell as glittering threads but was harmless.
- Ch 33The second unfolding produced three-dimensional solids, revealing intelligence in the proton's microcosm; the solids merged into a giant eye.
- Ch 33The eye became a parabolic mirror that focused sunlight onto the Trisolaran capital as a deadly beam, until nuclear warheads destroyed it.
