Staircase Capsule

Item from remembrance-of-earths-past by Cixin Liu

A nuclear-pulse-accelerated lightsail probe — the first object humanity ever sent to intercept the Trisolaran fleet — carrying, in a frozen biopreservation chamber the size of a teacup, the brain of Yun Tianming.

What They Know

• Launch profile, sail dimensions, and nuclear charge sequence — including the failure modes that put the probe off-course
• The biological preservation protocol that kept Yun Tianming's brain viable for the centuries before Trisolaran recovery
• Wade's fingerprints on the political process that approved the program over Council objections
