The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

Chapter 19 I won't be fooled by you!

Upon logging into the Three-Body Problem game, Lin Feng was greeted by a desolate landscape. There were no buildings or vegetation, only vast stretches of wind and sand.

The sky was overcast, and the sun was nowhere to be seen. The only way to tell whether it was day or night was by the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the clouds.

"Compared to last time, the changes are really huge..."

As Lin Feng walked, he looked around. Walking in this environment reminded him of his previous trip to the Sahara Desert, which stirred up a sense of nostalgia in him.

Not long after he started walking, Lin Feng saw a figure not far ahead of him.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Liang Gong, the Hanfu-clad girl who had been burned alive in front of Lin Feng last time.

"We meet again, stranger A."

Liang Gong was the first to greet Lin Feng.

"Haruhi, you've been resurrected?"

Lin Feng looked the girl in Hanfu up and down; it was the same Tang Dynasty Hanfu he had seen before.

"Pah! What do you mean by resurrected? I never died."

The girl in Hanfu wrinkled her nose and stuck her tongue out at Lin Feng.

"Last time I came in, there was lava everywhere. How come it's all sand and dust now? Does this Three-Body game have a built-in map refresh? I thought this place would at least be 90% accurate in recreating the real Three-Body problem, if not 100% accurate," Lin Feng said.

"What refresh? The lava will cool down, this is normal."

Liang Gong rolled her eyes and began to explain the origin of this barren sandy plain.

"That time, the planet was at perihelion with one of the suns. Now the planet is moving away from the three suns, and the temperature will continue to drop. In a while, you will see large areas of dry ice and snow."

"Snow? Forget it, I've seen enough of that in Antarctica, I'm already tired of it."

"I don't want to see any snow scenes. I want to enter the game to see some unique things, like a giant pendulum, a human-shaped computer, an armillary sphere, and the like."

Lin Feng explained his purpose, hoping that Liang Gong could act as his guide, since the game map was too big.

Liang Gong nodded understandingly, and then naturally reached out to Lin Feng to ask for it.

"Then give it to me."

"What?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Liang Gong was referring to.

"Nonsense, other tour guides get paid and get tips. You want me to work for you for free?"

The girl in Hanfu pouted, put her hands on her hips, and stared at Lin Feng with wide almond eyes.

"Ah...that seems to make sense."

Lin Feng scratched his cheek, finding it hard to accept. After all, this was a game, not reality. More importantly, he always played games for free. Paying Liang Gong a tour guide fee would break his tradition of playing for free.

"That's exactly right! Enough talk, if you don't give me my payment, I'm leaving!"

Seeing Lin Feng's reluctant expression, Liang Gong turned to leave.

"Okay, okay, here's your bank account number, I'll transfer the money to you in person later, is that alright?"

Lin Feng ultimately yielded to Liang Gong.

"That's more like it."

The two walked across the desolate plain. The girl in Hanfu, like a victorious general, held her head high, humming a little tune, and skipped ahead, just like when the two first met.

"Where is our first stop?" Lin Feng asked.

“The pyramids, those are closer to here,” the girl replied.

……

One hour ago, in the Three-Body game world.

A girl in Hanfu stands on the altar of the pyramid, with a square window floating in front of her, showing a video of Lin Feng's living room.

Lin Feng's conversation with Taylor's team was clearly transmitted to Liang Gong's ears.

The United Nations is not the only one paying attention to Lin Feng's other 'Wallfacer Projects'. Apart from Luo Ji, the surveillance of other Wallfacers may have been relaxed.

However, Lin Feng has been placed under the same level of surveillance as Luo Ji ever since he revealed that he had other plans.

Even the Trisolarans couldn't guarantee that Lin Feng's 'other plans' didn't include the Black Forest deterrent they were most worried about.

He's looking this way!

The girl in Hanfu was startled. In the scene, Lin Feng's gaze met Liang Gong outside the window. It was as if he had superpowers, his gaze could see directly through the window and into her.

No! That's impossible! He's bluffing!

The girl in Hanfu calmed down immediately, because she knew that Lin Feng didn't have superpowers, couldn't reverse-engineer Zhizi, and couldn't see her in her current state.

Lin Feng's words caught Liang Gong's attention.

"opportunity?"

"At what time?"

Suzumiya muttered to herself, her brow furrowed as she fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, the girl in Hanfu relaxed her furrowed brows.

"Wait! Could it be..."

In an instant, Suzumiya seemed to understand something.

After the previous plan was thwarted, the Wallfacers were forced to relinquish control of the plan. Instead of preparing other plans, they entered the Three-Body Problem game.

Is the person facing the wall really that idle?

The answer is no. Apart from Luo Ji, who hasn't found his direction yet, everyone else, from Manuel Radiázs to Bill Hines, and even Frederick Taylor, who has already broken through his limitations, is very busy.

Why would a Wallfacer come to the Three-Body Problem game just to play a game?

No, that's impossible. The Wallfacers are masters of deception and lying!

They even use actions to support their lies when necessary; everything they do is full of lies and misleading information!

"Suppose that one of Wallfacer Feng Taylor's plans requires the use of the Three-Body game world to complete the plan, then... the 'timing' he mentioned should be right."

"But why do we do this?"

"Could there be something hidden in this game that can withstand the Trisolaran fleet? That's impossible..."

"Or is it to dismantle ETO? But that's impossible..."

The girl in Hanfu racked her brains but couldn't come up with a solution.

"In any case, he should re-enter the Three-Body game. If he doesn't, then I was wrong; if he does, then I was right."

"We must find out the true purpose of Feng Taylor's entry into the Three-Body Game."

……

"Tour guide, can't you be a little more professional? At least other tour guides will introduce the history and legends of the attractions. You've already taken my money, can't you at least learn from them and introduce them to tourists like me who don't know anything about historical sites?"

Lin Feng's shout broke the Hanfu-clad girl's reverie.

"This pyramid has survived several major destructions of civilizations...blah blah blah..."

During the introduction to the pyramids, the girl in Hanfu observed Lin Feng's every move, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Feng's actions were all reasonable, much like a tourist on a trip, but in Liang Gong's eyes, they were the most unreasonable thing.

That's strange, so very strange!

Could this guy really be here for a visit in the game?

Wait a minute, nothing's right. This guy is a Wallfacer!

"That's it? It's no different from the pyramids in real life." Lin Feng looked disappointed.

I won't be fooled by you! Feng Taylor!

Chapter 20 I Have an Idea

On the vast, desolate sandy plain, several enormous buildings stand tall.

Led by Liang Gong, Lin Feng found himself in one of them, an enormous Aztec pyramid with a flattened platform at the top.

"Those are dry silos used to store dehydrated individuals, and this pyramid over here was used to house Mozi's machine for predicting the sun's movement..."

The two walked up the long stone steps of the pyramid towards the top, and Liang Gong's voice carried far.

They've already seen the giant pendulum, the human-shaped computer, and so on; now they're heading to the last one, an artificial model that simulates the sun's movement through a mechanism.

After finally climbing to the top, there was a place similar to an observatory. In one corner of the platform was a telescope several meters high, and there were other smaller telescopes nearby.

In addition to astronomical telescopes, there are also celestial globes similar to those used in ancient China.

Of course, none of these were what attracted Lin Feng's attention the most. What attracted him the most was the large bronze sphere with a diameter of two meters in the very center of the platform.

The copper ball is placed on a complex machine, supported by many gears of different sizes.

Since no one is using it, the gears are all stationary.

There is a square pit at the bottom of the machine, where people can push a turntable to power the machine above.

This is the artificial model, the double-shell universe model conceived by the designer.

The designers once hoped to use this model to predict the sun's movement...

"The designers of the machine assumed that the universe is a large hollow sphere suspended in a sea of ​​fire. The sphere has many small holes and one large hole. The light from the sea of ​​fire will penetrate these holes and become the stars and the sun that people on the ground see..." Ryouko explained as she walked.

After circling the sphere once, Lin Feng asked in bewilderment, "What was the designer of this machine thinking? According to this physical model, doesn't it mean that the distance between the sun and the stars must remain constant? Didn't he consider this obvious flaw?"

Liang Gong nodded. "That's right. That's why the designer used a double-layer design. The sphere is divided into inner and outer layers. The sky is on the inner shell, and there is a large hole on the outer shell. Light enters the middle of the shell through the large hole, and is reflected and scattered, making the middle of the shell full of light."

"The light shining through the small holes in the inner shell becomes the stars we see, while the sun is the spot of light from the fire behind the large hole in the outer shell shining on the inner shell."

Lin Feng shook his head. "The sun's size fluctuates and it can even turn into a shooting star. This model can't explain it."

"No, it's possible. The outer shell expands and contracts. The designers believed that the sea of ​​fire would provide power to the sphere, causing it to move constantly. However, the power distribution of the sea of ​​fire is uneven, which causes the sphere to expand and contract at different times, just like the sun appearing to be different sizes on Earth. The flying star can be explained by the dark clouds outside the sea of ​​fire..."
