The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

Speaking of involution, it's not just the New Ireland Community that's involution; all civilizations in the universe are also involutionary, and that's how the Dark Forest phenomenon came about.

Every civilization must be vigilant for its own survival, and every civilization must eliminate its rivals to preserve itself. In the end, the fierce competition even leaves the universe riddled with holes.

Lin Feng pondered that if he could spread the ideas of these "lying flat" thinkers to various civilizations in the universe, allowing them to all lie flat, then the Dark Forest, the Trisolaran crisis, and the Singer would all cease to be problems.

"If we lie flat, the Trisolaran world will be destroyed. The environment has no mercy; a single massive tear could rip the Trisolaran homeworld apart," the subordinate warned.

Lin Feng said, "That's true, but if they didn't choose to invade humanity, then none of us would need to sacrifice ourselves."

The subordinate in the video dismissed the idea, saying, "If your ideas could apply to all of humanity, wars in the human world would cease to exist."

"Most of the time, human kindness is actually just what we think we are being kind; I've seen this far too often."

"I can guarantee that if humanity wins the war, even if it is willing to let the Trisolarans live, they can only do so with the support of the human world. If you were a Trisolaran, could you accept that?"

Lin Feng shook his head, abandoning the idea of ​​bringing all civilizations in the universe to their knees, because that was simply impossible.

Thinking back to the original story, when humanity believed it had victory in its grasp, it planned to let the Trisolarans live in a space station on Neptune. Without human resources, they would inevitably face death, and the human world even touted this as 'good'. Such behavior is intolerable even to humans, let alone the Trisolarans.

Similar situations exist in the universe, and the differences between civilizations are even more pronounced. For various reasons, the antagonism between civilizations is inevitable. Where there is antagonism, there will be conflict; where there is conflict, there will be war; and where there is war, there will inevitably be a dark forest.

Endless loop.

“Okay, you’re right. The conflict between the Trisolarans and humanity is irreconcilable, just like the conflict between the white people who arrived in the Americas and the indigenous Indians.”

Lin Feng sighed, his gaze involuntarily shifting towards the direction of the Trisolaran system.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya has a long way to go...

Chapter 186 I believe he will resolve all of this.

Three suns slowly sank below the horizon, gradually obscuring the brightness of the sky with a dark curtain.

A light snow fell silently, as if foreshadowing the coming of the end.

A girl in Hanfu sat on a stone platform, gazing at the sun that had already sunk below the horizon, humming a little tune and swinging her little feet.

A girl in a kimono walked up, a samurai sword hanging at her waist, the scabbard drawing a long line on the snow.

"1314, are you still hoping for him?" the girl in the kimono asked.

When someone called him to his room, 1314 glanced at the girl in the kimono, smiled, and then turned his gaze back to the horizon.

“He is an incredible human being; he made a promise to me.”

The expressionless girl in the kimono shook her head indifferently.

"Humans are the most adept at lying. Sometimes, they don't even realize they are lying. You shouldn't trust them, and you shouldn't believe what they say."

“You have observed the human world longer than I have, so you should know better than me that verbal promises are the most unreliable thing in the human world. If they were useful, humans would not have specifically written contract law in the law to use physical contracts as the form of ‘promise’.”

The girl in the kimono walked to the edge of the stone platform as she spoke.

She untied the samurai sword hanging at her waist and placed it aside, then sat down next to 1314 and followed 1314's gaze to look at the distant horizon.

The girl in the kimono continued, "Moreover, humanity's situation is becoming increasingly dangerous. After they colonize other stars, the colonies will inevitably need to establish interstellar communication with humanity in the solar system. They will use the stellar amplification effect to communicate frequently. At that time, the hunters will inevitably become aware of everything in the solar system. Humanity will end, and so will the Trisolaran world."

The Trisolaran world currently has no desire to compete with humanity for anything. They have even given up on the idea of ​​seizing the solar system and annihilating humanity, because it is not worth it. In the face of the Black Forest attack, humanity is not worth annihilating, and the solar system is not worth seizing, unless the Trisolaran civilization gives up on itself and stops striving for the survival and continuation of its race.

From the Trisolaran perspective, human colonization of the outer solar system is tantamount to a suicidal act. Leaving aside the question of whether other alien civilizations exist in the outer solar system, the colony must have contact with the home planet, right?

How do we stay connected?

Human technology inevitably relies on stars as signal amplifiers to communicate with the home planet.

Then, their location was exposed, and the Hessian attack came.

So, is there any point in the Trisolaran world seizing the solar system?

It's pointless now; even the Trisolaran system was destroyed sometime before that.

The decision made by the Trisolaran world was this: let humanity do what it wants, and the Trisolaran world would focus on developing space travel technology, striving to achieve light-speed travel before the human colonies could establish contact with their home planet through stars, and then move the entire Trisolaran world away.

“I believe he will resolve all of this,” 1314 said.

“He knows absolutely nothing,” the girl in the kimono retorted.

“My gut feeling tells me that he can be trusted.”

"..."

……

Jupiter's orbit, the flagship of the Taylor system's second main fleet, Lin Feng's private office.

“Negan, I agree with your proposal, but… humanity can’t accept it.” Lin Feng held a plan Negan had submitted to him, looking troubled.

“The human world today can accept cyborgs,” Negan cautioned.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes at the other person; the point wasn't even that.

Lin Feng tossed the plan onto the table, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Negan, saying, "But this is an escape, an open and blatant escape, abandoning all of humanity in the solar system. This has nothing to do with electronic humans."

"Moreover, with the current space travel technology in the human world, even if you wanted to escape, you couldn't go very far. You need to think more deeply about this."

As he spoke, Lin Feng tapped his temple with his index finger.

Negan gritted his teeth and pleaded, "Please reconsider. I think my plan is perfect. In fact, there is no need for humanity to build a space fleet. The solar system has been technologically locked by the Trisolarans. Even if the future human fleet defeats the Trisolaran fleet that set out centuries ago and whose technology has not improved, the Trisolaran world can send a second fleet with technology hundreds of years ahead of the first. Can humanity still win then?"

“The Trisolarans’ technology has been constantly advancing, while humanity’s basic science has remained stagnant. If humanity wants to win, it cannot rely on space fleets or any weapons, because under the suppression of the Sophons, humanity will never be able to compete with the enemy,” Negan said anxiously.

The Trisolaran world is not the same as the Trisolaran fleet. Because the Trisolaran fleet is far from any village or town during its voyage, the amount of usable matter for the Trisolaran fleet is basically constant, except for the sparse nebula matter, let alone for scientific research.

The Trisolaran world is different. Scientific research is always being carried out there. Humans were already centuries behind them in technology. Centuries later, with the suppression of basic physics by the Sophons, the gap will only widen.

"That's why we have the strategic plan to colonize the outer solar system and use more resources to make up for the technological gap," Lin Feng said, tapping rhythmically on the table with one hand.

Negan said righteously, "In that case, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use my method? As long as humanity keeps sending colony ships out of the solar system, that will be enough."

"These colony ships will grow and expand in other parts of the Milky Way. In order to curb the growth of the colony ships, each colony ship leaving the solar system will be accompanied by at least one sophon. Humanity can thus engage in a resource war with the Trisolaran world. As long as one colony ship is not accompanied by a sophon, humanity can develop rapidly in an environment without technological suppression."

"Furthermore, humanity can use the future of the colonies to deter the Trisolarans, because if the Trisolaran fleet massacres and exterminates humanity in the solar system, then the human forces that have developed and grown stronger outside the solar system and whose technology surpasses that of the Trisolaran civilization will inevitably harbor a desire for revenge against the Trisolaran civilization."

The colonial deterrence theory: You can destroy us, but the people in the colonies will avenge us. Unless you can wipe us out, when our colonies grow strong, that will be the time to destroy you.

Lin Feng nodded slightly. He remembered that in his previous life, someone had proposed such a plan: not to build a space fleet, but to invest all resources in the research and development of space travel and colony ships.

By accumulating resources, the colony ships were accelerated to very high speeds, and the seeds of human civilization were sown throughout the universe.

As long as even one seed breaks free from the technological constraints of the sophons, humanity will inevitably experience rapid growth and expansion.

Chapter 187 Everything is for humanity

As long as a seed of human civilization breaks free from the control of the Trisolarans, the deterrent effect will begin to emerge. Luo Ji uses the Dark Forest as a deterrent, while the seed of human civilization uses its own future as a deterrent, and it does not require a Swordholder.

The Trisolaran world faces a problem: if they wipe out all humanity in the solar system, the vengeful emotions of the colony humans will inevitably lead to the future destruction of Trisolaris by humans.

"The idea is wonderful, but even if I agree, the human world will not. In their eyes, this is tantamount to gambling with the lives of all humanity in the solar system," Lin Feng replied calmly.

Humans don't even allow their own kind to flee, so how could they possibly allow a large-scale exodus of electronic humans?

Furthermore, this escape is done without regard to cost, abandoning the construction of a space force and the development of weapons, which completely runs counter to the mainstream strategy of the current human world.

“That’s why I came to you. You are a Wallfacer, and since you acknowledge me, you can certainly execute my plan by exercising your authority,” Negan replied matter-of-factly.

Just as the two sides were arguing, Edith walked in with the documents.

"What are you arguing about?" Edith asked.

“Mr. Negan submitted a plan to me regarding the Three-Body Problem,” Lin Feng shrugged.

Edith placed the documents on Lin Feng's desk and said seriously, "Regarding the orbital planning of the antimatter engineering project, the Solar System Fleet Joint Conference would like to invite you to discuss it."

"Does the track need to be planned and allocated?"

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and began to read the documents Edith had brought him.

Edith explained, “Different orbits of the sun receive different amounts of solar radiation, and their thermal accumulation parameters, particle enrichment levels, and so on, mean that even when using the same artificial facilities, the mass of antimatter produced will vary significantly. Reasonable allocation can effectively avoid unnecessary contradictions.”

"I see."

Lin Feng nodded in understanding. To put it simply, it was about vying for the best position to produce antimatter.

Lin Feng closed the file and turned to Negan.

“Mr. Negan, I can approve your plan and notify the Taylor Group’s senior management to allocate some resources to you. However, the Taylor Group cannot devote all its resources to your plan because it has other plans to carry out.”

"Are you comfortable with using limited resources to carry out your plan?"

Negan fell into thought, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"can."

"Very well, then it's settled."

As Lin Feng spoke, he turned to Edith and said, "Edith, tell Davis and the others to transfer some resources to Mr. Negan. I'm optimistic about his plan."

"Yes."

……

After obtaining approval from Lin Feng, Nigan took the project plan back to his residence.

"Is everything going smoothly?"

Looking at the electronic human whose mind had been copied, Negan's expression was somewhat complicated.

"Everything went smoothly. Mr. Taylor helped us with everything he could. Once our planned interstellar spaceship is completed, you'll have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

The cyborg Negan replied, "I know that what you're worried about is exactly what I'm worried about. After leaving the solar system, I will find a way to eliminate the gloom, all for the sake of humanity."

"I hope it goes as smoothly as you expect."

Negan sighed softly; everything was going according to plan.

……

At the joint meeting of the Solar System Fleet, Lin Feng spoke with righteous indignation.

"Our Taylor Group has ample resources to produce coolant and advanced technology. We can guarantee the maintenance and safety of antimatter production facilities. It is the perfect company to develop the A1 class orbit."

A representative from the Victorian Republic Association, a space city, said, "Our Mr. Taylor never hides his ambition. We hope Mr. Taylor can pay more attention. Imposing his own ideas without regard to the opinions of others is very disrespectful and can easily lead to unpleasantness."

"I don't understand what you mean. Could you translate what 'ambition' means?" Lin Feng asked.
