The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

"As expected of you, you saw through ETO's disguise so easily."

Seeing that Lin Feng showed no surprise, Domon William had already assumed that Lin Feng believed ETO still existed long ago. He still remembered that Lin Feng had questioned whether ETO had been destroyed long ago.

The longer Domon William knew Lin Feng, the more he understood why his grandfather always used the phrase "great wisdom appears as foolishness" when talking about Lin Feng.

Chapter 137 The Giant Ship is Not a Threat

Lin Feng paused for a moment while browsing emails, silently complaining to himself.

Ah this...

Whether they exist or not has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm busy with right now, so why should I care so much about whether they still exist?

Could you help me convey the concepts of strongly interacting materials and neutrinos to the Space Force?

Without his "own people," Lin Feng wouldn't even give ETO a second glance. Half a century had passed, and Lin Feng didn't think those "own people" still existed in ETO.

There are quite a few intelligent people in ETO, and fifty years is enough time for these human traitors to discover some clues about 'their own people' in ETO.

The fact that ETO was able to fade out of PDC's sight and develop in secret for ten years further proves that there are no longer any "insiders" in ETO.

It's important to understand that once humanity fades from the PDC's perspective, it will no longer be able to obtain information about the Trisolarans through the ETO.

Sigh, I don't want to think about it anymore. Thinking about it too much is useless; it only brings sadness...

Lin Feng sighed inwardly. He had planned to wipe out ETO before he went into hibernation and free his "own people" from ETO, but he still made a mistake.

Thinking of strongly interacting materials and neutrinos, Lin Feng then thought of the man-made object that brought the microscopic to the macroscopic. It wouldn't hurt to use this as a starting point to introduce the concept of strongly interacting materials.

Although there are still many emails, it's hard to say when he'll find the one he wants. He's already searched over 40,000 emails, but hasn't found a single suitable one.

It was incredibly lucky that I was able to find an email related to gravity last time.

Lin Feng sighed softly, turning his gaze to the side to see the 3D projection of Domon William.

"William, the giant ship should be completed soon, right?"

“Yes, with that thing, the Sophon becomes meaningless,” Domon William nodded in reply.

As he said this, Domon William straightened his back a bit. The giant ship under construction could be said to be the greatest achievement of the Taylor Group from its inception to the present.

By moving from the microscopic to the macroscopic, we can break the blockade imposed by sophons and achieve another technological breakthrough.

It wasn't just the Taylor Group that had high hopes for the giant ship; the PDC did too, even though the enormous energy required to operate it was a painful burden for the PDC.

After a moment's thought, Lin Feng, though reluctant to dampen Dormon William's spirits, felt it necessary to offer a reminder.

"Not necessarily. Some things can't be transferred from the microscopic to the macroscopic level, such as quantum entanglement. Quantum theory has been stagnant due to the blockade of sophons, and quantum computers have never been developed," Lin Feng reminded him.

The theoretical breakthrough achieved by transferring the microscopic to the macroscopic level is a breakthrough in materials science, such as quantum entanglement, which cannot be transferred to the macroscopic level.

Domon William nodded; he was naturally aware of what Lin Feng was saying.

Even if it's just a breakthrough in materials science, it's still a breakthrough. Humanity has been suppressed by the technology of the Sophons for half a century.

Even if it's just a tiny hole the size of a thumb, it would be incredibly significant for humanity to be able to drill through the barrier created by the sophons.

It's like Armstrong's one small step on the moon.

"You're right, but at the very least, in materials science, humanity can break through the blockade imposed by sophons. Humanity has the opportunity to understand the strong and weak interactions within the atomic nucleus. This is both a small breakthrough and a great advancement in human history."

With that, Domon William bowed slightly to Lin Feng and sincerely thanked him.

"I sincerely thank you for coming up with that idea back then."

Lin Feng waved his hand, "Don't thank me yet. I don't think ETO will let us off so easily."

"What can they do now? The area where the giant ship is located is heavily guarded."

Upon hearing Lin Feng bring up ETO again, Domon William asked in confusion.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, turning his gaze to Jupiter outside the porthole.

"It's hard to say, William. You have to understand, they are the ETO."

……

At this very moment, ETO is holding a meeting regarding the giant ship that Lin Feng and his group mentioned.

"The plan to emasculate the giant ship has been affected by the exposure of the organization's existence," Mozi shouted.

Then another ETO executive spoke, "According to the original castration plan, violently preventing humans from building the giant ship is completely unfeasible. We need to make humans believe that the existence of the giant ship is meaningless, so that they will abandon this direction and complete the castration."

"But now that the organization's existence has been exposed, it means that within the giant wheel of castration, humanity will find it difficult to even think about our own existence, thus increasing the difficulty of castration."

The giant ship was a project that began when Regiaz was still alive, and ETO knew about the project as early as half a century ago.

Furthermore, a targeted plan has already been developed specifically for the giant ship.

It is impossible for ETO to stop the construction of the giant ship, because humans believe that this thing can break through the technological blockade of the Sophons, which is the root of their idea of ​​building the giant ship.

Therefore, the result of violent destruction is similar to that of interstellar spaceships today. Even if ETO successfully destroys them, humanity will rebuild them in the future, and the construction speed will become faster and faster as proficiency increases.

The only way to prevent humans from using the giant ship is to change their mindset and make them believe that the giant ship cannot break through the technological blockade imposed by the sophons.

There is no doubt that materials science will make a breakthrough, because the energy of sophons is insufficient to stop this physical change, but other physical phenomena, such as the observation of particles, can be affected to maintain the blockade.

“No problem. As long as we don’t make any announcements and the giant ship remains ineffective for a long time, humanity will naturally consider it useless. The energy required for each of its operations is astronomical,” Bohr said confidently.

The plan to counter the giant ship was something he had conceived half a century ago, and as the one who proposed the plan, he naturally felt immense honor and confidence.

Hu Hai, who was recently promoted to a senior position in the ETO, has only just learned that the organization has a plan to counter the giant ship.

Hu Hai said, "The giant ship will move from the microscopic to the macroscopic. The giant ship cannot be without results. Humanity's technology for solid metallic hydrogen was obtained through observation of Jupiter's core."

Bohr smiled smugly, “There will be initial results, that’s true, but it will be difficult to achieve results later. The sophon will knock away all the new particles generated inside the giant wheel, making it difficult for humans to discover new technologies by observing the particles that keep emerging inside the giant wheel.”

"Moreover, humans cannot use neutron degenerate states in the same way they use solid metallic hydrogen. That is an extremely unstable material structure. In normal space, atoms are the most ground state and stable. Neutron degenerate matter that is removed from a high-pressure environment will immediately release nuclear energy."

Mozi added, "The giant ship can also be locked by the sophon. When humanity realizes this and stops the giant ship from operating, that will be our victory."

King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, said: "The Taylor Group has not been a threat for a long time. The most threatening thing now is the human government, and Feng Taylor is secondary. Now I only hope that the Kuiper Belt can speed things up. Once the organization's existence is exposed, it will be more and more difficult for us to complete our work in the future, and even survival will become difficult."

Chapter 138 Drilling a Small Hole in the Giant Wall

Within the solar system, there is a man-made object comparable to a celestial body, which looks like a giant donut, reflecting a silvery-gray metallic luster under sunlight.

The man-made object is nearing completion, and now only a few places still occasionally shimmer with a faint light.

Aboard one of the small spaceships bustling about these unfinished areas, a pilot looked up at the massive building to which they had poured their hearts and souls.

From the perspective of the small spaceship, the entire man-made object is not visible; only a metal wall is visible, which is taller than a skyscraper and wider than a school playground.

"At this rate, the giant ship will be completed next week," Wang Hai, the pilot sitting inside the small spaceship, muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Wang Hai remembered something that had always been on his mind.

Wang Hai hesitated for a long time, but now that the giant ship is about to be completed, he finally made up his mind to ask the question today.

"Everyone, why is it called the Giant Ship? Can anyone tell me? I don't remember Mr. Radiaz ever giving this building a formal name."

On the radio channel, one of the other drivers answered.

"Since this thing is a ring, it looks like a wheel. After someone called it the Giant Wheel, everyone thought it was a fitting name and that's what everyone called it."

“I don’t think that’s appropriate,” Wang Hai said.

In response to Wang Hai's question, the driver countered, "Then what do you think the giant ship should be called?"

Wang Hai said, "I think it should be called 'hole' or 'cave'. It can break through the high wall erected by the sophon, and we can see things behind the wall, even if it's just a little bit."

Wang Hai's words attracted the attention of more drivers, who, while busy with their work, couldn't help but start chatting.

"A giant hole? A giant cave? I must say, it's quite artistic."

"So, should it be called a giant hole or a giant borehole now?"

The drivers' conversation continued until the team leader joined in.

The team leader said irritably, "That's enough. We've been calling it 'Giant Ship' for so many years. Don't you find it troublesome to suddenly change the name? I think you're just bored."

The team leader could understand why his team was so talkative today. The project was nearing completion, and they were finally free from this protracted construction project, so naturally they were in a great mood.

The team leader added, "After the construction is completed, there won't be time for you to relax. There are orders from higher-ups that all the engineering vessels involved in the project will hold a celebration together."

"A victory celebration? Celebrating whose victory?"

Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately.

The team leader almost choked on his own saliva because of Wang Hai's words.

"Nonsense, of course it belongs to you, and to everyone else involved in this project," the team leader said irritably.

The tour leader glanced at the giant ship that was right in front of him, and his mood was also very excited.

They were construction workers, but also warriors. With their hard work and sweat, they helped all of humanity break through the enemy's blockade. Unbeknownst to them, they became heroes.

The team leader said, "Every step forward in human technology can narrow the technological gap between the human fleet and the Trisolaran fleet. And that one step is enough to save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on the space battlefield. This is all thanks to us."

Everyone involved in the project will be recorded in history along with the giant ship!

A week later, the giant ship was completed. On the day of its completion, the engineering ships of the ten industrial fleets lined up in a neat square formation like soldiers, with the completed giant ship at the very center of the formation.

The large engineering vessels were no longer spaceships at this point; they were banquet venues, with small spaceships occasionally shuttling between them.

Many people got completely drunk, and even the person in charge of the project cried uncontrollably after getting drunk, as they had shouldered too much responsibility over the years.

The faces of the people in the ten engineering fleets were beaming with smiles as if they had won a victory.

Over the course of half a century, from the initial concept to the current refinement of the concept and its transformation from fantasy into reality, the Taylor Group has paid a heavy price. If it weren't for the assistance from the PDC, they would have collapsed long ago.

The day after the celebration banquet, the Taylor Group quickly arranged for personnel to begin a six-month safety test on the giant ship.

Such testing is essential. If a giant ship malfunctions while operating at its highest energy level, the energy released after a chain reaction of collapses will instantly destroy the ship, and all the massive resources they have invested will be wasted.

……

"Magnetic ring No. 0997 charging test..."

"Operating normally."

"Release pulse waves to scan the current structural closure..."

"Good sealing properties."
