Chapter 18
"By the way, General Chang, please speak to the Asian Fleet Command and tell them this is part of the plan."

"You said that as long as it is within reason, the Asian fleet will definitely do so."

"If you can change the logo, the logo of your Asian fleet is really ugly."

"Uh..." Chang Weisi and Zhang Beihai both thought about it for a while, and it seems that this suggestion is really reasonable, this sign is indeed ugly.

It's just that a major general and a colonel can't speak at the Asian Fleet Command. If they go to raise this opinion, the command will not give feedback at all.

But the Wallfacer is different, he can handle most of the things in this world with a casual sentence.

What's more, Say is still the rotating chairman of the PDC. It is not impossible for her to want the Asian fleet to have a logo.

This is a good thing, at least Zhang Beihai and Chang Weisi think so.

....
A week later, Huaguo, 301 Hospital
"Xinhua News Agency, Singapore, July 7th. Today, the nine permanent members of the PDC and the thirty non-permanent members held the Star Voyage Summit at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore."

"At this summit, all countries reached a consensus in friendly talks, and proposed to use the fusion engine without working fluid as the development route for the future interstellar navigation engine."

"In this regard, the Chinese government actively responded to the call of the PDC, and made the research and development of non-working fluid engines a key project in Huaguo at this stage, with an initial allocation of 350 billion yuan."

"And our country proposes that the research and development of non-propellant engines is extremely difficult technology, and it cannot be completed by a single country. Countries should abandon unilateralism and carry out cooperative research projects to fight against the three-body invaders for mankind."

Although society has gradually become electronic, Zhang Beihai's father still likes to read paper newspapers.

"Father, Chairman Say agrees with the combat model we proposed before, and she asked the three major fleets and the Academy of Space Sciences to focus on research on non-propellant engines."

"That's great. She has a lot of power and can have a lot of influence on the direction of research." The old man on the hospital bed was still reticent as usual.

"Chairman Say also hopes that you will come out again." Zhang Beihai hesitated for a moment and said, "She wants to cooperate with the Future History School."

"Oh?" The old man's cloudy eyes became clear now.

"Chairman Say said she hopes you and the Future History School will join her staff and provide advice on her future plans."

In fact, Say had considered absorbing the future history school into his command before he met Zhang Beihai.

As far as the future history school's ability to cheat is comparable to Hari Seldon's psychohistory, even if the answer is turned, it is estimated that it will not be too weak.

After all, in the original book they can predict the Great Depression, the Second French Revolution, the Second Renaissance, and the fiasco of humanity in the War of Doomsday.

With the help of this kind of organization that has enabled forecasting, wouldn't Say's plan for the future come naturally.

So Sai specifically mentioned this matter to Zhang Beihai in order to recruit this group of people.

"So father, what should we do next?" Zhang Beihai asked.

"Bei Hai, think more." The old man said while holding his hand.

"What about after thinking about it?"

"I can only tell you, before that, think more."

"Think about me so much! Why am I in NATO?!" Zhang Beihai looked at his military cap and suddenly exclaimed.

"Well, it seems to be true." The old man suddenly realized after looking at the logo of the Asian Fleet.

....
Meanwhile, Isla Verne, PIA headquarters
As a department of PDC, PIA (Planetary Defense Council Strategic Intelligence Agency), although its director is not Say, but the rotating chairman of PDC, her control over PIA is naturally higher than that of PIA director.

So when Say proposed to come to inspect, PIA naturally asked all the staff to line up in advance to wait for Say.

After seeing a series of black bulletproof SUVs and army green eight-wheeled chariots, the PIA officials finally saw Say, but they were confused by the other party's first words.

"Cancel the ladder plan?" Looking at Say's request, all the PIA officials felt that their brains were not enough, as if their own heads were about to be given to Trisolarans. 【Note】

The Staircase Project never got Say's attention from the very beginning, and the other party only attended a related meeting, so in the thinking of the PIA staff, Say didn't know about the Ladder Project at all.

So no one thought that she would suddenly come here specifically to propose a plan to stop the ladder.

While everyone was digesting this shocking news, Sai also began to look at the PIA officials in front of him.

The head of the man who looks exactly like Hugh Jackman is Thomas Wade. He once stayed in the CIA for a while. He was the former deputy director of the US Department of Homeland Security and the current director of PIA.

Followed by Russian aviation engineer Vadim, French Ke Manlin, and deputy director Yu Weimin.

Of course, there is also Cheng Xin who proposed nuclear bombs to propel solar sail spacecraft. She served as the second sword bearer of human civilization, the actual controller of the Star Ring Group and the investor of the curvature spacecraft, and the author of "The Past Beyond Time".

All in all, in the future, she is a powerful plutocrat and politician, and she is also the only surviving human in the solar system.

Half of the reason Say came here this time was to deal with Cheng Xin's annoying trouble.

"Chairman Say, why did you suddenly cancel the ladder plan?!" Cheng Xin said excitedly.

"Because my wall facing plan will use a lot of resources, so even a little bit of resources can't be wasted. The ladder plan does not consume much, but it is also a waste of resources."

"What's more, the nine members of the council are not optimistic about the ladder plan, and now if the PDC takes the initiative to cancel this plan, it will give the council members a face."

"So canceling the ladder plan can give face to the nine members of the council and allow my plan to be better implemented. I believe you can understand." Sai explained patiently.

"Chairman Say is right. Now that the nine members of the council have decided on a no-fuel engine, it is impossible for them to be willing to waste money on a step-by-step plan." Wade turned his head and explained to Cheng Xin.

"That's right, now that human beings have set their research direction on no working medium, the solar sail propulsion method like the Ladder Project is destined not to be used, and there is no need to waste energy on research."

"As for sending a spy to the Trisolaran fleet, let's not say that this project is completely transparent in front of the Trisolarans. Even if we send it, we should wait for the radiation-driven spacecraft more than ten years later." Sai cast a disdainful look at Cheng Xin. road.

Cheng Xin wanted to go up to argue with Say, but Vadim held her back, and Wade showed a cold smile.

"But don't feel disheartened, because you will be engaged in a more important job next, which is to join the Chang'an Deep Dark Project." Sai suddenly changed the topic.

 Note: The ladder plan is in charge of the PIA. Its purpose is to send a human spy to the Trisolaran First Fleet. Later, because of the load problem, only Yun Tianming’s brain was sent.
