The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

Curiosity, like a cat scratching, gnaws at the heart of every ETO member.

In the memory of the older generation of ETO members, the only thing that could frighten Feng Taylor was family affection; otherwise, he was fearless.

Now that Frederick Taylor's father, Feng Taylor, has long since passed away, there should be nothing that could frighten this mortal enemy of their ETO.

How could such a fearless enemy suddenly become inexplicably afraid? The ETO members' desire to find out the reason for the enemy's inexplicable fear grew stronger and stronger.

"What did Feng Taylor think of? Why was he so panicked?"

“I saw fear in his eyes, which is very rare.”

"Damn it! Feng Taylor must have realized that he has some fatal flaws, but we haven't even discovered them yet! He actually discovered his weaknesses before we did! Damn it!" one of the ETO members cursed angrily.

“Feng Taylor’s actions must be linked to his Achilles’ heel; otherwise, he would have no reason to take such action.”

Among the ETO members, some speculated that Lin Feng's reaction was because he had thought of something that would lead to his complete defeat.

This speculation received support from many ETO members. Many felt it was a breakthrough point. If they could delve deeper into this breakthrough point and find the real reason for Lin Feng's abnormal behavior, perhaps they could defeat this mortal enemy that they had not been able to defeat for half a century.

After much discussion, some ETO members suggested participating in Lin Feng's bounty.

Should we participate?

This issue has caused many in the ETO to hesitate. For now, it's better for the organization to remain hidden, as exposure means that humans will be wary of the organization's infiltration.

They haven't forgotten that the human leadership passed a resolution for deep space exploration, requiring them to occupy more than half of the seats in the PDC within twenty years, effectively trapping humanity in the solar system.

They cannot afford to fail this mission again.

But this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What could terrify Feng Taylor might just be his Achilles' heel that would crush him. How could ETO possibly want to miss this chance?

"We should participate!"

Ultimately, ETO made its choice and participated in Lin Feng's bounty.

As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. In any case, because of the deep space voyage, ETO has to infiltrate PDC in large numbers, exponentially increasing the risk of exposure.

Let the storm rage on and get Lin Feng's bounty too.

After Lin Feng issued the bounty, the whole of humanity was in an uproar, because many people believed that Lin Feng's bounty was a way of trying to destroy the Earth.

The media immediately launched another round of criticism against Lin Feng.

Later on, even the PDC was alarmed and came to Lin Feng to find out the situation and confirm whether he really had plans to destroy the Earth.

After Lin Feng repeatedly assured them that he was only asking a question and didn't actually have any intention of destroying the Earth, he finally managed to send the PDC people away.

Chapter 126 Let's Try to Live On

The Trisolaran Galaxy, the home planet of the Trisolaran civilization.

The Trisolaran leadership is holding a meeting, the content of which concerns Lin Feng.

The last time the Trisolaran high command discussed Lin Feng was when Lin Feng requested a virtual war, and the Trisolaran fleet was fully loaded with antimatter.

The fact that antimatter releases 100% of its mass-energy is secondary; the key is its physical property of annihilating matter. Even the technologically advanced Trisolarans would sense the danger posed by weapons made from such a substance.

This time, Lin Feng suddenly offered a bounty, asking humanity to come up with a way to destroy Earth. This unusual move was not only considered acceptable by ETO, but also by the Trisolarans.

Based on Lin Feng's previous request to incorporate antimatter into the virtual war, the Trisolarans did not believe that Lin Feng's seemingly crazy actions this time were truly insane.

There must be something hidden behind this, but they didn't see through the Wallfacers' lies—that's what the Trisolarans thought.

At the Three-Body high-level meeting, an administrator briefly summarized the analysis that the ETO had delivered to them.

"Feng Taylor issued a special bounty to all mankind. ETO believes that this is Feng Taylor's action because he realized the fatal weakness in his operation and was eager to quickly resolve it."

"Why hasn't ETO killed him yet? When are they going to stop?" a governor asked, dissatisfied.

“They gave up,” another governor replied. “Feng Taylor’s level of protection is the highest among all of humanity…”

“I know that, but Feng Taylor is ultimately just an ordinary biological entity, a human being. To give up on the assassination just like that? ETO is too useless.”

The governors who had previously questioned ETO were even more dissatisfied with it. The Trisolaran world granted ETO Sophon a certain degree of control and even provided it with some technology.

So what did these ETOs do?

They were asked to kill Feng Taylor fifty years ago, and they failed. Now they dare to give up?

Subsequently, another governor also expressed his dissatisfaction with the ETO.

"The existence of ETO is completely superfluous. The only reason they still exist is because humans need to use them to obtain intelligence from the Trisolaran world. This is the only way for humans to obtain intelligence about the Trisolaran world."

Although the Trisolaran world did not initially oppose ETO's hidden plans, as time went on, more and more Trisolarans felt that ETO had no reason to exist.

“No, the existence of ETO is meaningful. They can help the Trisolaran world see through the labyrinth of lies created by the human Wallfacers,” the governor, who still supported the ETO strategy, replied.

The two Trisolaran governors who disliked ETO did not refute such defense; it was an indisputable fact that ETO had helped Trisolaris crack many of humanity's strategic schemes.

Besides the Wallfacer Project, humanity has undertaken many other projects, such as the PIA's Ladder Project.

However, this effect was not enough to dispel the officials' dissatisfaction with the ETO.

One of the governors replied, "That's all they're good for. Luo Ji wasn't killed, nor was Feng Taylor. The reason why humanity is using so much antimatter in its current exercises is ultimately because the ETO leaked the intelligence that the Trisolaran world possesses antimatter technology."

The governors' aversion to ETO is not without reason. Humanity's current understanding of the Trisolaran civilization is entirely based on ETO. Without ETO, humanity would not know about the Sophons, would not be so actively producing and stockpiling antimatter, and would not even know that they were invading the solar system.

If humanity had been completely unaware of the existence of Trisolarans from the beginning, it would have faced an attack on the solar system by a Trisolaran fleet centuries later, completely unprepared.

The situation wouldn't be as complicated as it is now.

The governor who supported the existence of ETO retorted: "Those things are not a threat. I have seen the antimatter weapons conceived by humans, and there are not many weapons that can truly threaten the Trisolaran fleet. Whether it is the gamma rays of the shaft cannon or the kind of cannonball that can reach seventy percent of the speed of light, after understanding them in advance, they are not a great threat to the fleet."

"The only antimatter weapon that is somewhat troublesome is the kind of bomb that can destroy stars. This kind of weapon is specifically designed to deal with massive targets. The greater the mass, the stronger the power. It detonates stars and uses the energy of stars to attack the fleet, which the fleet cannot withstand."

"Human antimatter production is not high. Due to the limited amount of antimatter produced, the number of such bombs is very limited."

After Lin Feng announced that humanity would create antimatter, it immediately attracted great attention from the Trisolaran civilization.

Antimatter is extremely dangerous, without a doubt. Even if it wasn't Lin Feng who brought it up, but any random person, it would have attracted the Trisolaran civilization's serious attention.

During the meeting, other governors countered, "Is that so? Based on current human development estimates, in a future surprise attack, humanity has produced enough antimatter to manufacture more than ten bombs, enough to destroy all celestial bodies in the solar system."

You don't need many antimatter bombs to destroy celestial bodies; ten would be enough.

Each of the eight planets was destroyed, and finally the sun was detonated. The Trisolaran fleet that had entered the solar system lost the planets as cover and was simply unable to withstand the terrible consequences of the sun's explosion.

At this point, one of the consuls turned his attention to the head of state and asked.

"If humanity prepares more than ten bombs capable of destroying celestial bodies in the future, will the fleet's first surprise attack need to be changed?"

Besides discussing the purpose of Lin Feng's reckless actions, the meeting also focused on discussing the fleet with the head of state.

If the human fleet is defeated in the first surprise attack and the situation is hopeless, they might choose to fight to the death and destroy the entire solar system.

The Trisolaran fleet, on its interstellar expedition, not only gained nothing but also faced the impact of a stellar explosion.

"No, proceed as planned. According to calculations, by the time the first raid occurs, the fleet will have traveled halfway through the expedition. If the raid succeeds, humanity will lose the ability to use this bomb. However, if humanity uses that bomb to detonate stars and all celestial bodies in the solar system, causing the entire raid to fail, the Trisolaran world can be freed of one threat." The leader gave a negative answer.

"What should we do with the fleet?" a governor asked worriedly.

The leader replied, "By taking advantage of the stellar impact from the explosion, we can change course and head to other star systems. If the distance is far enough and the fleet is well prepared, a solar explosion created by humans will hardly pose a threat to them."

The governor pressed on, explaining, "But the internal circulation can't hold up, Your Majesty. The situation within the fleet is already very serious."

The leader remained unmoved, his attitude still adhering to the surprise attack strategy. They must seize control of the solar system as soon as possible and completely cut off humanity's possibility of launching interstellar broadcasts.

As for the Trisolaran fleet issue, the Führer already has a solution in mind.

"After the explosion of humanity's sun, the particle density in the vacuum will inevitably increase significantly. They can capture more antimatter particles through magnetic meshes to achieve higher speeds. Secondly, they can obtain some material supplies from interstellar dust, and try to use these material supplies to solve the problem of internal circulation within the fleet."

It sounds easy, but it's not so easy to do, even with the technology of the Trisolaran civilization. After all, it's the debris from the explosion of the sun, which is similar to retrieving something from the sun.

Therefore, the head of state paused at this point before continuing his explanation.

"If all else fails, we can also ask some people to give up their right to live."

"Based on all the information, the fleet's problems are not significant; the threat from humanity is what we should be more concerned about."

The Trisolaran fleet will face a difficult situation, but that's okay, because the Trisolaran civilization can accept it.

……

When the Taylor Group announced the bounty, the entire human society was in an uproar.

This bounty is arguably the highest in human history, and to complete it, one doesn't need to do anything complicated; all one needs to do is use their imagination to figure out how to destroy the Earth.

As long as you can eventually gain the approval of the Wallfacer, Feng Taylor, you can get this reward.

Imagine if you could just come up with a way to achieve complete financial freedom, become incredibly wealthy, and ascend to the top of human society, no longer needing to bow down to your boss, no longer needing to speak softly to those in power, and no longer needing to worry about your competitors suddenly kicking you down one day.

The key is that there are no barriers to entry. People of all ages, genders, professions, and nationalities can participate, even beggars with broken legs on the street, serial killers, or wild men in the mountains.

Aside from members of the PDC at that level, or aliens like the ETO who want to destroy humanity, no human being can resist such temptation.

Lin Feng lured out the greed of the entire human society. On this day, everyone would participate, creating an unprecedented spectacle in human history.

PDC and ETO are no exception; they both accept bounty missions for their own different reasons.

As a result, starting from the very first minute after midnight on the first day, the thousands of email addresses prepared by the Taylor Group were overwhelmed with submissions.

Each mailbox receives one hundred billion emails, totaling one hundred trillion emails.

Even so, some people still failed to send their emails to the submission email address prepared by Taylor's department. Since there was no limit to the number of submissions, some people sent hundreds of emails in hopes of increasing their chances of being selected and winning the reward offered by Lin Feng.

As a result, many people cursed the Taylors for not providing more email addresses for submissions, and the internet was filled with resentment.

That day, Domon William approached Lin Feng.

“The scale of submissions is far too large. Why don’t we just close submissions here?” Domon William suggested.

Lin Feng shook his head, "It's okay, there's no need to close the submission deadline."

Upon hearing this, Domon William's face immediately fell, and he gave an extremely difficult reply.

"Yes, but the large data storage devices can't hold any more emails. All of Taylor's data storage devices are already in use..."

"...Okay, then let's close submissions for now."

After some thought, Lin Feng agreed to Domon William's suggestion to close the submission deadline. In any case, if Lin Feng was not satisfied with these emails, he could continue to call for submissions.

After a moment's hesitation, Domon William asked, "You're not really going to read every single email, are you? Even if you had a lifespan of hundreds of years, you couldn't possibly read through this volume of emails."

"Of course I have to read them one by one, otherwise what would be the point of me issuing bounties?" Lin Feng asked with a puzzled look.

Lin Feng said, "You can't understand it because it's part of the plan. If you could understand it, then anyone could."
