The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

"Humanity doesn't want to be wiped out, do the Trisolarans want to? Don't tell me you don't know what nuclear deterrence on Earth is all about."

"What you are doing is the only way for humanity in the solar system to survive."

Lin Feng glanced at the representatives whose expressions had changed. Clearly, this was an aspect they hadn't considered. After all, aside from virtual war exercises, what madman would actually blow up a star? The two star systems were only four light-years apart, so a stellar explosion would inevitably affect the other side.

"Their fleet can destroy humanity in the solar system by launching bombs, and we can also launch bombs to destroy the Trisolaran system, so that they will understand that even if we fight to the end, humanity will win and the Trisolaran civilization will have to admit defeat. War is not child's play," Lin Feng said decisively.

"The fact that the battlefield is located in the solar system means that the human fleet can't protect anything," Lin Feng retorted angrily.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, looked at the representatives from various countries whose gazes were wandering, and then answered.

"There's also the issue of the front lines. We were originally going to assign cyborgs to Barnard Planet to build new human colonies there, so that humanity could surpass the Trisolaran civilization in terms of material resources."

"In the future, the human fleet defeats the Trisolaran fleet, and Barnard's Star sends us a distress call for help from the Trisolarans. Our fleet doesn't need to go on an expedition to rescue them, right? Are we just going to sit and watch the Trisolaran civilization, who possess the resources of two star systems, crush us with their superior technology?" Lin Feng asked rhetorically.

The entire meeting fell silent after Lin Feng's words.

Lin Feng did not refute the accusation about sending the human fleet to fight the enemy outside the solar system, because he knew he couldn't refute it. He was a Wallfacer, and any rebuttal would be a lie.

Moreover, he felt that it would be good to let the human fleet leave the solar system, making it easier for Zhang Beihai to escape.

Therefore, Lin Feng explained to the PDC representative the benefits of letting the human fleet leave the solar system.

The decision is PDC's business; these people have more power than him, so he has nothing to say.

“If you weren’t representatives appointed by various countries, I would suspect that you were ETOs.”

At the end of the meeting, Lin Feng coldly added a sentence, then pretended to be furious and unilaterally hung up the video call.

Chapter 142 The Solar System Is Becoming Less and Less Important

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

In the virtual war exercise, the human fleet actively chose to escape the solar system, which affected not only the PDC, the Space Force, and the ETO, but also the Trisolaran civilization.

Once humanity escapes the solar system and passes through a sophon blind spot, the sophons will lose their ability to track the fleeing humans.

The war between the Trisolarans and humanity may very well drag on indefinitely.

In the context of the dark forest, the bigger the commotion you make and the more attention you attract, the closer you are to death.

Trapping humanity within the solar system is the most desirable outcome and aligns perfectly with the Trisolaran civilization's expectations.

Even if humanity successfully escapes, the Trisolaran civilization is not actually too afraid.

As long as they don't enter a sophon blind zone, the sophons will continue to track the fleeing humans. After conquering the solar system, the Trisolaran fleet in the solar system will collect enough antimatter to achieve a higher speed in pursuit of the fleeing humans.

Humans fleeing from the sophon blind spot have no chance of escape, no matter how many years earlier they set off.

Although there are many sophon blind spots, they are all very small, scattered within several light-years. Even a one-second deviation can separate you from the sophon blind spot by a vast distance.

Unless the fleeing human is incredibly lucky, the probability of encountering them is very low.

However, even if the probability is very low, it is still a situation that the Trisolaran civilization does not want to see, because once it happens, it means that the war between Trisolaris and humanity will continue to expand over time and become endless.

After understanding humanity's desire for revenge, the Trisolaran civilization became even more determined to ensure that no human being could leave the solar system.

"Humanity now recognizes the strategic significance of leaving the solar system."

One of the Trisolaran governors added, and another governor beside him added.

"In four Earth years, the interstellar travel spaceship designed by mankind will leave the solar system and head to the Barnard system, which is about six light-years away from Earth."

"Humanity's approach is insane. They created electronic humans whose limits exceed those of ordinary humans, thus providing the basis for extreme spacecraft designs. Electronic humans only need electricity and computers to survive in space, and many designs of traditional human spacecraft, including life support systems, can be discarded to save spacecraft weight, carry more nuclear fuel, and allow the spacecraft to reach higher speeds."

The Trisolaran governor, who advocated for a response, said, "We must make some changes; the current situation is unfavorable to the Trisolaran world."

At this point, the governing official, who had consistently supported the ETO, replied.

"ETO has set up industries in the Kuiper Belt. They plan to provoke a civil war in the solar system. Their fleet will raid and sabotage human voyages to colonize the Barnard system. Once humanity is dragged into a protracted war, it will be difficult for them to spare the resources to send new ships to colonize Barnard, thereby achieving the goal of blockading the solar system."

Half a century ago, if this governor had proposed this, at least more than half of his colleagues would have agreed.

But things are different now; the Trisolaran world is increasingly disappointed with ETO.

Only a small number of Trisolaran governors still believe that the ETO organization can prevent humanity from leaving the solar system.

"Now that things have come to this, do you still trust ETO so much? Luo Ji wasn't killed, Feng Taylor wasn't killed, and now humanity has even realized the strategy of leaving the solar system. ETO has no ability to stop humanity from leaving the solar system at all," an administrator retorted.

"Since Evans' death, the role of ETO in the human world has been declining."

"If ETO hadn't been able to see through the lies woven by the human world for the Trisolaran world, they wouldn't even have had any value in continuing to exist."

After the governors who supported the ETO fell silent, the governors who advocated for a response spoke out.

"In fact, we can also adopt the same strategy to deal with humanity, launching sophons and small platforms that can be operated by sophons, as well as gene pools of some dehydrated beings and Trisolarans. The mass would be smaller than that of humanity's extreme spaceships, and the mass consumed to reach two-fifths of the speed of light would also be smaller."

“We can even increase our speed and reach Barnard’s Planet first, develop it before humans arrive, and by the time human ships reach their destination, the electronic humans won’t even have a chance to escape.”

The Trisolaran civilization's technology surpasses that of human civilization. Any unconventional maneuvers that humans can perform, the Trisolarans can certainly perform as well, and perhaps even more extreme ones.

Humans launch extremely designed spaceships to colonize nearby star systems at two-fifths the speed of light.

The Trisolarans could do the same thing, and do it even better, arriving at Barnard's Planet first and growing strong there.

This proposal was opposed by a regent standing next to the head of state.

I disagree.

"Accelerating the spaceship to two-fifths of the speed of light would consume a tremendous amount of mass. Even if the size is small and the consumption is low, that would only be relative to the extreme design of human spaceships. The Trisolaran world still needs to reserve resources to research new technologies, and judging from the trend of human plans, they probably want to colonize more than just Barnard's Star."

Before the development of light-speed spaceships, the maximum speed of a spaceship was simply a matter of material utilization.

That's right, the Trisolarans also far surpass humans in this respect, but their available resources are very scarce, and they cannot squander them as recklessly as humans.

Although antimatter can be produced, its applications are already widespread. If the Trisolaran civilization were to use antimatter to compete with humanity in interstellar colonization, it would undoubtedly greatly slow down the operation of the Trisolaran society.

Especially in scientific research, research departments need to use antimatter for fundamental physics research.

The regent beside the leader continued, "It is not a wise choice to waste resources to compete with humanity in colonization, as the human world has more material resources than the Trisolaran world."

"To take it a step further, if humanity colonizes other star systems around us, the probability of being attacked will increase exponentially. The Trisolaran world must develop spaceships with higher material utilization rates before the attack occurs, so as to ensure that civilization can continue on the day the attack comes."

"Human civilization may be destroyed without our intervention, and we should prepare for potential future disasters."

If humanity colonizes surrounding star systems on a large scale, the probability of being discovered will inevitably increase. This means that star systems in this small region, including our solar system and the Trisolaran system, will no longer be safe.

If humanity were to suffer a Black Forest attack, the Trisolaran civilization remaining in the Trisolaran system would certainly not escape either. This is because the hunters of the Dark Forest, in order to ensure the destruction of humanity that colonizes multiple star systems, would inevitably conduct a rough search of the surrounding star systems. Unfortunately, the Trisolaran system is right next to our solar system.

In the eyes of the Trisolaran civilization's higher-ups, the value of the solar system is constantly decreasing, as is the value of eliminating humanity.

Using that energy to eliminate humanity and strive to develop our civilization as soon as possible, far away from this suicidal civilization, would be more in the interest of the Trisolaran civilization.

Chapter 143 Holding Magic Without Realizing It

A few days after Lin Feng's conversation with PDC, Domon William reported to Lin Feng.

“Mr. Taylor, the PDC asked me to inform you that regarding what you discussed at the previous meeting, they have held another vote and believe that virtual war exercises can continue, although it is necessary to add some regulations for virtual warfare.”

Lin Feng, who was in a good mood after listening to the first half of Domon William's report, suddenly turned serious when he heard the second half.

Lin Feng said to Domon William with displeasure, "Tell the PDC that the purpose of the virtual war exercise is to simulate the human fleet and the Trisolaran fleet, so that the human fleet can gain valuable experience in space combat. I don't object to them adding 'rules' to the virtual war, but the premise is that the real Trisolaran fleet, which is constantly approaching the solar system, can also follow their 'rules'. Otherwise, it's all out of the question."

“You’ve misunderstood. The regulations they issued aren’t for the virtual space exercise, they’re for you,” Domon William explained.

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned strange.

"I?"

Domon Williams said, "The first rule is that in virtual war exercises, all proposals to incorporate new technologies must be approved by the PDC's review body."

After a moment of silence, Lin Feng asked, "...Does that mean I can no longer add new technologies to virtual war exercises as casually as before?"

"No, it's not that we can continue using 'magic,' for example. You can't take advantage of the convenience of the game world to directly set up a generator that converts energy into gravitational waves. You have to explain the working principle of this technology clearly," Domon William explained with an example.

"What about the original technologies? Will PDC be scrapped?" Lin Feng asked, frowning.

Domon William replied, "The law does not pursue past mistakes, and the regulations will not hold you accountable for the technologies you previously provided. Gravitational wave technology, neutron degenerate armor, neutrino spears, and so on, can all continue to exist."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and then asked Dormon William.

Why did they create regulations targeting me?

Domon William replied, "They believe that your reckless addition of new technologies to the Trisolaran fleet and excessive elevation of its strength will seriously affect the training effectiveness of the Space Force in virtual space exercises."

Lin Feng's expression turned cold. "Nonsense! My efforts to enhance the combat capabilities of the Trisolaran fleet have clearly had a positive training effect. The strategic idea of ​​extending the battle line beyond the solar system was conceived under my influence."

"This is the PDC's reply; what you're saying to me is meaningless," Domon William said helplessly.

Lin Feng didn't want it to be like this. He had originally planned to add the acute angle turning of the water droplets and the 100% reflectivity to the game.

If PDC does this, how can he incorporate these into virtual war exercises?

The enemy is at PDC!

Lin Feng grew angrier the more he thought about it. His plan had only been halfway through, and it had been ruined by the PDC's decision.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng asked Dormont William.

"Do the regulations only apply to virtual space exercises?"

"Yes."

Domon William nodded.

"I see..." Lin Feng stroked his chin with some understanding, made a decision in his heart, and said seriously, "I will issue a new Wallfacer Plan."

Domon William's expression changed, and he quickly took out a small notebook and pen from his body.

Lin Feng said, "Domon William, I need the Taylor Group to combine all its existing technological capabilities to create a space simulation war game."

"Making a space war simulation game? Isn't there already one?"

After taking notes, Domon William asked Lin Feng, who was puzzled, but Lin Feng did not give a direct answer.

"Why ask so many questions? Write them down; it's all part of the plan."

"I understand, please continue."

Domon William nodded and didn't ask any more questions, so Lin Feng continued.

"This space war simulation game, like the one currently on the market, is open to all of humanity. Anyone can log in and register as a player, and it's also free."

Domon William frowned in thought. "This requires a huge amount of funding. Designing the game is not the problem; the problem is operating it."
