The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

Industrial development capabilities were incorporated into the fleet's combat power calculations during this process, especially after acquiring cloning technology, which further enhanced the industrial survival and development capabilities of the human fleet.

Therefore, after leaving the solar system, the human fleet's combat power surpassed that of the Trisolaran fleet, which lacked logistical capabilities, and ultimately won the battle against the Trisolaran fleet.

This understanding led the human fleet to shift its strategy in subsequent virtual war exercises from how to defeat the Trisolaran fleet to how to successfully escape the solar system while the Trisolaran fleet was annihilating them.

Meanwhile, the Trisolaran fleet's strategy shifted from how to quickly destroy the human fleet to how to ensure that the human fleet could not leave the solar system.

Even after Lin Feng added various new technologies and weapons to the Trisolaran fleet, this situation remained unchanged; the life-or-death struggle transformed into a war of attrition.

It was precisely because of this strategic understanding that the players did not protest against Lin Feng's further strengthening of the Trisolaran fleet.

After conducting several virtual war exercises, both the Trisolaran fleet and the human fleet began to jokingly refer to the solar system as 'Vladivostok'.

The human fleet that remained in the solar system was much like the Russian Pacific Fleet that was blocked in the Vladivostok port area by the Greek Allied Fleet on March 31, 1904.

As long as they remain in the solar system as a 'port,' the human fleet has no chance of defeating the Trisolaran fleet.

Then, the Space Force leadership ordered the Space Force and players to cease all virtual space exercises. Both the Trisolaran and human fleets participating in the virtual war exercises were assigned psychological counselors for ideological work.

If someone is truly incorrigible, the player will be permanently barred from all work within the Space Force, while the Space Force will suffer even worse consequences: either they will be discharged and removed from service, or they will be branded with ideological imprisonment.

In the eyes of the human leadership, this is already another kind of 'escapism'. Humanity formed a space force to fight against the Trisolarans and protect the solar system. This strategy of escaping the solar system to close the gap with the Trisolaran fleet is contrary to the original purpose of building a space force to 'protect the solar system'. The Trisolaran fleet could completely wipe out the remaining humans in the solar system and destroy human civilization after the human fleet leaves the solar system.

In other words, even if the human fleet ultimately wins, Earth's civilization will cease to exist.

This is a strategy that neither the Space Force leadership nor the Planetary Defense Council are willing to accept.

Will the human fleet, dedicated to protecting human civilization, escape the solar system and achieve final victory in the battle against the Trisolaran fleet?

So what the hell have you been protecting?

"Oh, is that so? I was wondering why the players weren't making such a fuss this time. Turns out there's a bigger group of people helping us attract attention."

Lin Feng, who had just received the information from Domon William, suddenly realized what was going on.

"Please don't say 'we.' The suggestion to strengthen the Trisolaran fleet's equipment capabilities was not 'proposed' by you," Domon William replied with a forced smile.

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback, and then realized that he had previously made Domon William take the blame for him.

"Well, that seems to be the case. I remembered it wrong."

Lin Feng coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, but noticing the subtle expression on Domon William's face as he watched him, he quickly changed the subject.

"In short, it's time for me to step in again," Lin Feng said.

Seeing this, Domon William frowned and couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"You're planning to talk to the PDC? Since the cyborg incident, your reputation has plummeted, and people even call you a 'devil who manipulates power and life'."

However, Lin Feng's attention was not on his reputation, but on the derogatory title he had been given.

"...This title sounds pretty good, much better than those I had before hibernation, like 'the insane, deranged clown who eats babies' or something like that."

Lin Feng was telling the truth. Before he went into hibernation, during the time when he was known as the "scapegoat of this world," the labels that public opinion hurled at him were far more offensive than the derogatory terms he was using now.

Lin Feng's resistance to these things is now at MAX, so he doesn't care at all.

Lin Feng instructed, "Go contact the PDC for me and say that virtual war exercises are a 'tradition' that the Space Force has continued from half a century ago. How can they be stopped just like that? This is directly related to the combat capability of the human fleet and is also part of my plan. I need an explanation."

"Ok."

Seeing that Lin Feng had made up his mind, Dormon William said no more.

……

As Lin Feng expected, PDC responded by holding a video conference with him to discuss the matter.

Lin Feng's questioning involved 'part of the plan,' a right that the PDC could not ignore, a privilege of the Wallfacers.

However, after entering the meeting, Lin Feng keenly noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat off, which reminded him of the last meeting held because of the electronic humans.

Lin Feng frowned. This time, he should be the one criticizing PDC, but it seemed like he was the one being criticized.

After the rotating chairman of PDC finished his brief announcement, the Greek representative took the microphone and spoke to Lin Feng.

"Mr. Taylor, we will now respond to your questions."

“Virtual warfare exercises began half a century ago and continue to this day. They have extraordinary significance for the Space Force. The most significant aspect is the realistic simulation of combat exercises, which allows humanity to continuously hone its skills against the Trisolaran fleet without incurring excessive physical costs.”

"However, the virtual war exercise has been corrupted since you awoke and intervened."

Lin Feng understood each English word spoken by the Greek representative, but he couldn't understand the whole thing when they were put together.

"Spoiled? I caused it?"

Lin Feng's expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of surprise as he scanned the group of representatives.

All the representatives from various countries appeared calm and composed, showing no surprise at what the Greek representative had said.

Lin Feng had a slight realization: what the Greek representative said did not represent the voice of Greece at all, but rather the entire PDC. The Greek representative was just a mouthpiece that had been pushed out.

This only made Lin Feng more confused.

How the hell did he manage to turn the virtual war exercise into something so distorted?

He has been working tirelessly to strengthen the human fleet!

Lin Feng's surprised question was met with a slight nod from the Greek representative.

"That's exactly why your unreasonable and continuous enhancement of the Trisolaran fleet in the virtual war exercises has forced the human fleet into one desperate and arduous battle after another."

"What's wrong with doing this? A fleet needs to admit its defeats honestly in order to learn from them," Lin Feng retorted, dissatisfied.

"That's just your surface-level thinking. Your deeper thoughts are quite different," the Greek representative said seriously, his expression as if he were telling Lin Feng, "Wallfacer, stop pretending. You and we both know everything."

"???"

Lin Feng was a little confused, really a little confused. He couldn't understand where these PDC representatives got their confidence from, acting like they knew exactly what he was thinking.

What are my deeper thoughts?

Do I have deeper thoughts?

Lin Feng carefully recalled that, besides planning how to let the human fleet understand technologies such as strong interaction materials, gravitational waves, and neutrinos in advance, he also wanted to ensure that the human fleet would not be thrown into disarray and not know how to deal with the sudden attack of the droplets.

If you really want to figure it out, this is indeed a deeper thought, but it's not something he deliberately wanted to hide.

If he directly said that the Trisolaran fleet has droplets, that the strong interaction material is atomic nuclei tightly attached together, that it has 100% reflectivity, that it can propel itself with an aperture without a nozzle at the tail, that it can accelerate instantly to a load of 70G, that it can turn at sharp angles, and that it can also shield solar broadcasts.

Chapter 141 If you say so, then so be it.

Who would believe Lin Feng if he said all this?

What's with the 100% reflectivity? Forget about it. But the acute angle of turn? If Lin Feng dared to bring that up, he'd be criticized by a bunch of people as an idiot with no common sense about physics.

Seeing Lin Feng's stubbornness, the Greek representative arrogantly began to explain in detail.

"At the beginning, you pointed out the problem of the Trisolaran fleet being excessively weakened in the virtual war exercise."

"Therefore, a series of weapons designed around antimatter, such as antimatter bombs, gamma-ray shaft cannons, and near-light-speed electromagnetic guns, as well as the Trisolaran fleet's abundant antimatter reserves required for combat, were added to the virtual war exercise."

"Since excessively weakening the Trisolaran fleet is indeed a real problem, even if some people suspect that you want to use this method to incite escapism in the Space Force, no one believes that it is true."

"But later, you added gravitational wave technology to the Trisolaran fleet, which was even able to create a short-lived event horizon to directly confront the explosion of stars."

"This makes us question your intentions. Virtual warfare is a virtual exercise for the human fleet to simulate fighting against the Trisolaran fleet and hone its strength. What is your purpose in unilaterally adding this technology that the Trisolarans could never master?"

All eyes of the representatives turned to Lin Feng, their expressions seeming to say—stop pretending, we all know.

Lin Feng wanted to say, "You guys know nothing!"

Lin Feng replied, "My goal is, of course, to make the human fleet stronger, to fight and defeat the 'Trisolaran Fleet,' which is far stronger than the Trisolaran fleet we know. When the Trisolaran Fleet arrives in the solar system a few centuries later, the human fleet they will face will inevitably be far superior to theirs."

The Greek representative replied with an expression that said, "You knew it."

“We originally thought so too, and that’s what you thought.”

Lin Feng felt both angry and amused. These people actually claimed that they knew what he was thinking better than he did.

That's not what I think.

You know better than I do what I'm thinking?

Have you all degenerated into tapeworms in my stomach?

"You say I don't think that way? Then what do I think?" Lin Feng retorted with a sneer. He wanted to see what these people from PDC could come up with.

The Greek representative retorted arrogantly, "Your goal is not to strengthen the space force, but to make the human fleet realize the strategy of 'abandoning humanity in the solar system and expanding the battlefront beyond the solar system'."

"That's why you keep enhancing the combat capabilities of the Trisolaran fleet in virtual war exercises, so that the human fleet can taste the bitter fruit of defeat time and time again, and make the space force realize that abandoning the solar system is the only way out."

Lin Feng's expression gradually changed as the Greek representative spoke, becoming increasingly astonished. This was not because the Greek representative had guessed his thoughts, but because he was surprised that his actions could be interpreted in this way.

Lin Feng's astonished expression was noticed by the representatives from various countries, which further confirmed their suspicions.

The Greek representative said, "We were initially misled by your phrase 'imprinting thoughts on people,' which has a coercive influence on humanity, and we lowered our guard as a result. You anticipated this as well."

"The mind imprint will not hinder your plan in the slightest, and will even be a great help. Your plan is indeed based on the goal of 'humanity's victory,' but not on the goal of 'humanity's victory in the solar system. A large number of space troops imprinted with the mind imprint will accept the strategic thinking that you have induced them to discover, and thus abandon humanity in the solar system."

"For you, as long as 'humanity wins,' that's enough. Half a century ago, you first proposed the quantumization of humanity, then the beast-like humanity, and now the electronic humanity. We are fully aware of your madness. It doesn't matter who wins, as long as humanity is the ultimate victor."

Upon hearing the Greek representative mention quantumized humans, beast-like humans, and electronic humans at the end, Lin Feng felt as if a giant pot had been dumped on his head.

These are all plans devised by ETO's own people. Whether it's storing macro-electrons to blow up the Earth, creating quantum-state humans, castrating humans to create beast-like humans, or creating electronic humans derived from artificial intelligence civilization, none of them were his ideas.

Ah, this...this...this...

If I say I have no intention of luring the human fleet to abandon the solar system, would you believe me?

Lin Feng felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples and reorganized his thoughts.

"Is this... considered your 'breaking down of barriers' for me?" Lin Feng asked.

The Greek representative replied, "You can think whatever you want, but we cannot approve of your Wallfacer plan. Abandoning the solar system is a betrayal of all humanity, without a doubt."

"What if I were to say that the truth is not what you think?" Lin Feng countered.

The Greek representative replied, "Then you shouldn't have any doubts about our decisions regarding virtual warfare."

The meaning is quite clear: Lin Feng had no choice but to keep quiet about the virtual war exercise being ordered to stop.

Lin Feng spoke slowly, "Why can't I have doubts? The future human fleet is going to fight a decisive battle with the enemy in the solar system? Are you sure this isn't a joke?"

"What's wrong with the human fleet extending its battle line outside the solar system? Have you forgotten about the antimatter bombs that can blow up the sun? What if the Trisolaran fleet enters the solar system, can't defeat the human fleet, and, with no hope of victory, drops a similar bomb at the sun, blowing up all of humanity and the human fleet? At least there's time to intercept outside the solar system, but inside the solar system, if they're accelerated to nearly 70% of the speed of light, how are you going to intercept them?"

"The Trisolaran civilization's home planet is still there. At worst, we can migrate to Barnard's Star or Woolf 359, which are within ten light-years. Humans can develop mobile space cities, space farms, and space ranches. Do you think the Trisolaran civilization can't do the same? Only when the human fleet engages in battle with the enemy fleet outside the solar system will the Trisolaran civilization hesitate to act."
