The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

As long as it's not confirmed to be an ETO, there's not much of a problem.

Chapter 123 You guys need to think of a solution quickly!

The internet is a fast way to spread information. After ETO members subtly induced some people who disliked Lin Feng to worry about the Taylor Group's formation of the Royal Guard Fleet through various means, their concerns quickly spread on the internet, allowing netizens from various countries to learn about the formation of the Royal Guard Fleet.

The pan-human community, the largest human network social circle on the Internet supported by governments of various countries, has become a place for humanity to 'seek justice' after half a century of development.

If you encounter any injustice, post it here and use the power of public opinion to resolve the injustice and empower the vulnerable to fight back.

Especially those things that involve the dark history of various countries, such as the nuclear tests that the United States conducted in Nevada in the past, and the large amount of nuclear radiation left behind that affected the health of local residents.

After Nevada residents failed to obtain compensation from the government, they posted about the matter on the Pan-Human Community, which immediately drew condemnation from both domestic and international audiences, forcing the United States to pay compensation under pressure.

The news of Taylor's faction forming a personal guard was posted on this social media platform, attracting a large number of supporters who were concerned about the Wallfacers gaining control of the military.

Of course, there were also opposing sides, and after a heated debate, the worried side ultimately prevailed.

As anxieties escalated further during the discussions, public opinion put direct pressure on the PDC regarding the formation of the Taylor Group's personal guard fleet.

Therefore, PDC had to hold a meeting with Lin Feng to discuss matters concerning the Royal Guard Fleet.

Taylor argued forcefully, hoping to persuade the PDC to back down on the issue of the Royal Guard.

The final agreement was that the Taylor line could form a Royal Guard fleet, but the Taylor line would only be responsible for providing the warships and all the logistics to support the fleet, while the personnel would be arranged by the PDC.

This means that, under normal circumstances, this personal guard fleet will obey Lin Feng's orders, but the PDC's authority still supersedes Lin Feng's.

The Taylor faction was naturally not satisfied with this outcome, but they had no choice but to accept it; the PDC would not make any further concessions.

Lin Feng did not join the discussion between PDC and the Taylor Group until they reached a conclusion, at which point he spoke up.

"Your business is finished, and I happen to have something that the PDC needs to take care of."

Lin Feng's gaze fell on the rotating chairman.

"Please go ahead," the rotating chairman gestured.

Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "I think it is necessary for us to embark on a deep space voyage now."

In an instant, everyone in the venue except Lin Feng froze, no one expected Lin Feng to say that.

In this era, escapism is illegal and a betrayal of humanity.

Compared to this, the matter of the Royal Guard Fleet is nothing but a minor skirmish.

"What do you mean by deep space exploration?" the rotating chairman asked.

Lin Feng replied, "It means flying out of the solar system."

After Lin Feng reiterated this point, the representatives from various countries were in an uproar.

"You're planning to organize a fleet escape?!"

"We disagree!"

"You will bear historical responsibility for abandoning your fellow human beings in this way!"

"Fleeing in a vehicle is an absolutely prohibited and illegal act!"

The voices were deafening, rising and falling, the accusations from representatives of various countries were just like those before Lin Feng went into hibernation, which made Lin Feng feel a little bit of a sense of familiarity.

The accusatory remarks continued for several minutes before stopping after the rotating chairman repeatedly struck his gavel.

Lin Feng sighed and asked in return, "...Are you guys obsessed with opposing escapism? What does flying out of the solar system have to do with escapism?"

"Why isn't flying out of the solar system considered escapism?" the Indian representative protested.

Lin Feng retorted without hesitation, asking, "Indian representative, if we humans defeat the Trisolaran fleet that invaded our solar system after it arrives, should we launch a counterattack against the Trisolaran system?"

"Uh... this..."

This question completely stumped the Indian representative. When discussing matters related to the Trisolarans, most representatives from various countries focused on how to defeat the attacking Trisolaran fleet, rarely or never considering what humanity should do after defeating it.

After all, the outcome of the first clash between the two sides is still undecided, isn't it?

Lin Feng pressed the Indian representative, "Does a counter-offensive mean sending the fleet out of the solar system? In your Indian language system, a counter-offensive is called an 'escape,' right?"

The Indian representative was speechless when asked. If humanity had agreed to the Trisolaran fleet's request and wanted to launch a counterattack against the Trisolaran system, then naturally they would have to send a fleet to the nearby Trisolaran system.

These fleets should not be labeled as 'escaping'.

“Mr. Taylor, we haven’t won yet, it’s a bit premature to be thinking about this now,” the American representative asked.

Lin Feng shook his head. "No, there's no rush at all. This is part of my plan."

"Didn't you say before that your plan was to operate?" the Russian representative asked.

The subtext of this statement is to question Lin Feng: if he is operating human civilization, why is he making such a demand that is clearly linked to escapism?

Lin Feng answered matter-of-factly, "That's what operations are all about. War is all about operations. I had a plan before I went into hibernation: after humanity defeated the attacking Trisolaran fleet, we would send a colony fleet to a nearby star system. I had anticipated that if humanity wanted to take over the Trisolaran system, the material resources in our solar system alone would not be enough."

"If the Trisolaran civilization is still unwilling to coexist peacefully with humanity after the Trisolaran fleet's defeat and insists on continuing the war, then humanity will need to extend the battle line to nearby star systems and then launch an attack on the Trisolaran system together with these human colonies, using resources to make up for the technological gap, just like we did with the Trisolaran fleet in the solar system war, and make the best use of our advantages."

"Distinguished representatives, you should be aware that the Sophon has locked down human technology, but the Trisolaran civilization does not have such developmental suppression. Their technology will continue to lead, and the technological gap between us is even widening."

What Lin Feng said made the representatives of various countries think deeply. They had to admit that they could not only consider how humanity would defeat the Trisolarans, but also what would happen after the victory.

If the Trisolarans are willing to coexist peacefully with humanity after the Trisolaran fleet's defeat, that would be fine. But what if they are still unwilling to coexist peacefully with humanity?

The war will continue, that's for sure. At that time, we'll need to consider a counterattack against the Trisolaran system. The Trisolaran system's technology will inevitably be hundreds of years ahead of the Trisolaran fleet, so the resistance that humanity will encounter in its counterattack against the Trisolaran system will be much stronger.

Lin Feng's proposal to expand human habitation to other star systems and use greater material resources to bridge the technological gap between humanity and the Trisolaran system was endorsed by representatives from many countries.

The rotating chair countered, "Do you mean that in order for humanity to be able to colonize the vast distances between stars in the future, we need to conduct deep space voyages to accumulate experience?"

“Yes, that’s the purpose of my suggestion,” Lin Feng replied.

However, Lin Feng's statement was not accepted by all national representatives.

“Objection! How can we guarantee that there won’t be any escapees on a spacecraft that is going on a deep space voyage?” the French representative said.

The representatives from various countries did not oppose Lin Feng's idea, because it was not a retreat as a loser, but a counterattack as a victor.

However, representatives from various countries also considered the possibility of deserters emerging from the human fleet during deep space travel. If these deserters were to successfully escape, it would have extremely negative consequences for human society.

"So, French representative, are you saying that after we humans defeat the Trisolaran fleet, we don't need to consider a counterattack? The Trisolaran civilization's technology has been constantly advancing, while our technology has always been suppressed. With one side gaining and the other losing, even if we can defeat the current Trisolaran fleet, can we defeat their new fleet that they develop later?" Lin Feng asked the French representative.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over the group of representatives, and he began to criticize them with some anger.

"You should still have reservations about this kind of thing and try to obstruct it. As someone just said, you will bear historical responsibility for this, do you understand?"

"Future humans will curse you for not starting preparations now, for not giving them more time to develop. Why do you think your predecessors agreed to my acceleration of humanity's journey into space? It was to buy you time for your current development. And now I hope you can achieve the same level as your predecessors."

Lin Feng's criticism made them reconsider his proposed "deep space travel" requirement. They recalled that half a century ago, Lin Feng stepped on the accelerator of the times, accelerating the progress of the era, which enabled humanity to achieve its current success in just half a century.

Since the goal is to enable humanity to launch a counterattack in the future, the representatives from various countries believe that Lin Feng's request for "deep space voyage" is not unacceptable.

"But what about escapism? How can this be ensured?"

At the meeting, a national representative raised this question once again.

Lin Feng impatiently interrupted the discussion among the representatives from various countries.

"Don't fucking bring up escapism with me again. If you guys are going to do this, then you might as well not develop at all! Everyone just enjoy themselves and die of old age without leaving any offspring, right? That way we won't have to fight the Trisolaran fleet!"

"You'll have to figure out how to prevent the fleet from developing escapism yourselves. All I need is for you to agree to let the human fleet start accumulating experience in leaving the solar system from now on, in preparation for a future interstellar colonization strategy," Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng had no interest in how to prevent the fleet from developing escapism. In his view, it would be better if escapism did develop, so he had no interest in discussing it.

After discussing among themselves for a while, the representatives of various countries decided to agree to Lin Feng's request. Just as Lin Feng said, how to prevent the deep space voyage fleet from breeding escapism was their business. At present, the request for "deep space voyage", which involves the future counterattack of mankind, should be approved first.

"Let's begin the vote now," the rotating chairperson said.

Representatives from various countries then began voting.

"agree."

"agree."

"agree."

……

After a round of voting, the majority of votes were in favor. After reviewing all the representatives' choices, the rotating chairman solemnly announced the results.

"Regarding Wallfacer Feng Taylor's request to 'allow the human fleet to accumulate experience in deep space voyages,' the Planetary Defense Council unanimously approved the request."

Not long after PDC approved Lin Feng's request for "deep space voyage", some elderly people on Earth began to show unusual symptoms.

An old man herding livestock on the grassland suddenly cried out in a heart-wrenching voice.

"No—! No way! I don't agree!"

An elderly woman who was dancing in the square suddenly twisted her ankle, fell to the ground, and fractured her pelvis, causing a commotion among those around her.

An elderly man living in a nursing home, suffering from dementia, suddenly had his cloudy eyes clear and burst into furious curses.

"Feng Taylor, you bastard! You beast!"

These are considered relatively mild cases. Some elderly people, while playing chess, suddenly clutch their hearts, their faces contorted in pain, and spit out a mouthful of blood, covering the person playing chess opposite them in blood. The elderly person who vomited blood died on the spot.

The members of ETO reunited in the Three-Body Problem game, their second gathering in half a century. This time, the number of people was much larger than before, including not only the top ETO members but also the lower-level members.

"Why are there only a third less senior management positions?"

Some ETO lower-level staff who were unaware of what had happened asked curiously, and those around them provided the answers.

“Those were all elderly people who needed to recuperate. What Feng Taylor did was too stimulating for them, and some of them died.”

"Damn Feng Taylor, how could he attack us like this!"

Among the crowd, some people were filled with resentment and clamored for revenge for the higher-ups.

King Wen of Zhou silenced the chaotic noise of the crowd.

"Now is not the time to discuss this! If we don't come up with a way to stop humanity from leaving the solar system, the mission entrusted to us by God will have failed!"

PDC, by approving Lin Feng's request for "deep space voyage," allowed the fleet to leave the solar system. This meant failure for ETO, as the mission entrusted to them by the Trisolarans had not been completed.

This is an outcome that ETO cannot accept. They didn't kill Luo Ji, nor did they kill Feng Taylor, and now they have to watch helplessly as humanity flies out of the solar system.

They couldn't accept it, they absolutely couldn't accept it. They now wished they could storm into the United Nations, rip out the brains of all the representatives from various countries, reform them, and then reject Lin Feng's request for deep space travel.

"What should we do? The organization is currently in seclusion. If we maintain this seclusion, we can't do many things."

Someone in the crowd said something difficult, and then someone else refuted it.
