Suzumiya's expression was somewhat complicated as she gently stroked the cold metal shell with her slender hand.

Lin Feng could empathize to some extent, after all, he had experienced the Chaotic Era and witnessed that hell on earth firsthand.

If this were just a game, it wouldn't resonate with me much. However, this is a real, existing phenomenon, something the Trisolarans are currently facing.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Actually, the problem of three suns is not too difficult to solve."

He thought of the game's abandoned main quest, which was to solve the problem of the sun.

"What are you going to do? Try to become a prophet and predict the movement of the sun?"

The girl in Hanfu turned her head to look at Lin Feng. She had seen too many people trying to solve the sun problem. These people were either crazy, decadent, or had come to terms with reality.

Lin Feng shook his head. "Just kidding," he said. "The Three-Body Problem is already a headache to look at, let alone predict it." Lin Feng's method was even more brutal and direct, he explained.

"I have always been inclined to transform nature, believing that humans can conquer nature. If the sun is creating problems for me, then I will try to transform the sun."

"There are many solutions to the three-body problem. It could be that two of the suns collide, or one of the suns is ejected and the two suns form a stable system."

The Three-Body Problem has a result. Lin Feng still remembers that in his previous life, someone used a computer to simulate the Three-Body Problem. Although it couldn't be a 100% simulation, it could still simulate about 90%.

Lin Feng had seen some results, such as stellar collisions, or two stars forming a stable binary system, with one star flying out like a wad of ancient phlegm.

According to Lin Feng's idea, they could actually intervene in this outcome and guide the result of the Three-Body Problem to the situation they wanted to see.

"Why not try to artificially intervene in the movement of the three-body system and guide it into a stable two-body system?" Lin Feng asked.

"You want to push the sun? You're dreaming, you know? Do you know how many resources that would require?" Ryouji retorted speechlessly.

"Don't be in such a hurry, let me finish what I have to say." Lin Feng reached out to stop Liang Gong.

"Of course I know that pushing a star is a completely unrealistic idea, but I never said I would use 'push'."

"Move the sun in another way?" Suzumiya pondered.

"So you're planning to..."

Lin Feng smiled slightly, "Using antimatter, we can reduce the mass of stars and then guide the three-body system to naturally eject one of the suns."

"..." Liang Gong was stunned after hearing Lin Feng's idea, then sighed and rubbed his forehead, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have believed that you would come up with any reasonable ideas."

"You're ignoring the mass of stars and immediately bringing up antimatter. Let's not even talk about whether it's possible to produce such a large amount of antimatter. Do you know how many times the mass of a star is compared to Earth? Even if you turned the entire Earth into antimatter and threw it into the Sun, the mass of the Sun that would be reduced would be just a drop in the ocean."

Lin Feng asked with a puzzled look, "Why would you think I would think that way? I never said that I would use the planet's own matter to produce antimatter. Even a fool would know that it's impossible to produce much antimatter and put it into the sun."

"Then... wait! Could it be..."

Liang Gong's face showed shock; she was frightened by Lin Feng's idea.

If it's not a planet, then it must be a star!

Lin Feng explained, "The sun's nuclear fusion naturally releases antiprotons and positrons. We only need to set up a sufficiently large electric field in the sun's orbit to use the positrons and antiprotons released by the sun to accelerate the consumption of the mass of a sun."

Lin Feng's idea was to build many solar satellites. The core of these solar satellites was not large, but it had long metal wires. When these metal wires were electrified, they would form a large network composed of electric fields.

Positrons and antiprotons are both charged and can be deflected by an electric field. Solar satellites can deflect these positrons and antiprotons, which are naturally released by solar nuclear fusion, back onto the sun.

Chapter 21 Is this your plan?

These antimatter particles, deflected back, encounter the Sun's own matter, and the matter and antimatter annihilate each other, releasing electrically neutral gamma rays.

Gamma rays are electrically neutral and unaffected by electric fields, so they are not deflected by solar satellites, nor do they return to the Sun, thus causing the Sun to lose mass.

All we need to do is build many such solar satellites to envelop the sun, and the rest is just a matter of waiting.

"What about heat buildup? How do we solve the cooling problem?"

"That's simple. Solar satellites use liquid hydrogen coolant to cool down, and the used liquid hydrogen coolant is cooled down by thermal radiation. Although the efficiency is low, it can be solved by quantity. The hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen coolant can be obtained from the solar wind."

"Doing this would take too long; the planet might already be swallowed up by one of the suns."

Liang Gong was not very optimistic about Lin Feng's solution. The time span was too long and the workload was too large, and the three stars were in constant motion.

"There is no need to completely consume the mass of a sun. The purpose of consuming the mass of a sun is simply to break the current chaotic state of the three-body system. One of the suns will be ejected because its mass is less than that of the other two suns."

"As for materials, they can be collected from the solar wind. Solar satellites are both deflectors of antimatter particles and material collectors. The dust released by the three suns should be at least three times that of the solar system..."

Once the balance is broken, the problem of the three suns will naturally be solved.

If the three-body problem can't be solved, then we can turn it into a two-body problem! The two-body problem is easy to solve!

As Lin Feng carefully reviewed his proposed plan, looking for any loopholes, he noticed that Liang Gong was staring at him blankly.

Why aren't you saying anything?

"I'm wondering, passerby, what's your brain made of?" Suzumiya murmured in reply.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's expression changed, he covered his head, and replied resolutely.

"Impossible! Don't even think about it! Even if this is just a game, I won't let you crack my skull open! That would leave me with a lifelong trauma!"

"How can you talk like that? Do I look like the kind of person who advocates violence?"

The girl in Hanfu was both annoyed and amused, waving her little fists and glaring at Lin Feng with her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

"It's not just similar, it's extremely similar."

Lin Feng pointed at Liang Gong's raised little fist, with an expression that said, "I knew I was right."

"You...you, I'm ignoring you now, hmph!"

With pouting lips and puffed-out cheeks, Ryouko turned her head to the side in anger.

Not long after, Lin Feng had to leave the Three-Body game again due to real-world issues.

As the two were about to part, Suzumiya suddenly asked a question.

"Hey passerby, what should you do if your method doesn't work?"

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and Lin Feng could tell that Liang Gong was very serious when she asked him this question.

Thinking of the other party's ETO identity, Lin Feng smiled slightly.

"It doesn't work? If it doesn't work, just think of another one."

"There are always more solutions than problems."

After Lin Feng disappeared, Liang Gong looked at the empty platform at the top of the pyramid and muttered to herself with a complicated expression.

"Feng Taylor, is this your plan?"

……

Alpha Centauri, located three light-years from the solar system, is the parent star of the Trisolaran system.

"So... you brought the solution he mentioned?"

"Yes, this is a plan proposed by Wallfacer Feng Taylor. He hopes to get the fleet to give up invading the solar system by solving the problem of our sun."

After reading Lin Feng's solution to the three-sun problem that he had described to Haruhi Suzumiya in the Three-Body Problem game, the leader casually tossed the report aside.

"The problem between us and humanity is not about this. Feng Taylor's plan is meaningless; he failed."

“You are an anti-war advocate and you love Earthlings, but I hope that when you put your ideas into practice, you will not forget your fellow countrymen.”

The head of state looked calmly at his subordinate, his words like sharp blades, making the subordinate who delivered the report tremble.

"I know."

Back at her post, Haruhi continued to monitor Earthlings through the Sophon.

"We can all achieve faster-than-light communication, yet the chain of suspicion between civilizations remains unbroken."

The Trisolarans have no privacy; they express their thoughts very directly. When Haruhi's thoughts were discovered by her colleagues, they rejected them.

“It’s not that it’s impossible to break through, it’s that no one has the courage to break through. If they fail, it means that the entire race will be reduced to ashes. No one can bear such a price.”

Upon hearing this, Suzumiya felt even more sorrowful.

"You're right, in this universe, love is a luxury, alas..."

A sigh, filled with bitterness and helplessness.

……

"What's going on? Can't you see I'm playing a game?"

Lin Feng, having left the Three-Body Problem game, asked the maid beside him with some dissatisfaction.

Being pulled out of the game world while immersed in it feels like being kicked out of the bathroom halfway through your shift.

It's very uncomfortable; I have a very unpleasant feeling.

"Didn't you say you were working?"

The maid was stunned and immediately found it strange. She thought Lin Feng was doing some kind of self-reflection, but it turned out he was playing a game.

Lin Feng realized he had let something slip, so he coughed lightly and asked back, feigning annoyance.

"Does playing games conflict with work? Can't playing games be part of my schedule? Do you know you're interfering with my work? Are you so eager to join the ETO?"

"Uh... I'm sorry to have disturbed your work. Actually, it was your previous arrangement that you told me to notify you if it was about other Wallfacers, no matter what happened."

The maid hurriedly explained that she knew about ETO when she came to work here.

Lin Feng thought about it and realized that there was such a thing, but he had told the CIA about it at the time. He understood when he thought that the maid was found with the help of the CIA.

"Yes, that's true. What happened to the other Wallfacers?"

“Manuel Rediaz and Bill Hines wish to see you,” the maid said.

"They were broken through by ETO, and now they can't figure it out?"

Upon hearing that the two Wallfacers wanted to see him, Lin Feng immediately thought of the scene in the original story where Taylor wanted to see Luo Ji.

No way? They're going to come here to commit suicide?

Thinking about this, Lin Feng suddenly felt terrible.

The maid quickly waved her hand and explained, "No, they weren't breached; they simply wanted to see you."

"Did you just come here to see me?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes."

The maid nodded.
