The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

"In addition, there are antimatter bombs, one of which can destroy the entire solar system. It uses the explosion of antimatter to compress matter and form a miniature black hole to achieve the purpose of killing. The larger the mass of the target, the stronger the power. Imagine the consequences of dropping one on the sun."

Near-light-speed weapons, antimatter bombs, 70% of the speed of light, interstellar colonization of other star systems...

Luo Ji was shocked, and his once quiet heart was stirred with emotion.

“People from your generation are all pretty desperate, but actually, things aren’t that serious,” the nurse said.

These words were like heavenly music to Luo Ji. He felt as if he had become a child who had just woken up from a nightmare, and all the terrible things he had experienced were just laughed off by the adults.

"What happened to the Wallfacer Project afterward?" Luo Ji asked.

The hibernator did not give Luo Ji a reply because he only cared about things of this era and had no interest in understanding things of the old era.

Luo Ji then asked the nurse next to him, who gave a casual answer.

"An ancient, insane plan."

"What happened to those Wallfacers?" Luo Ji asked.

The nurse said, "The first two were stripped of their Wallfacer status and died in their own time. The third was also stripped of his Wallfacer status, became a dictator, formed the Taylor Group, and his fate is unknown."

Luo Ji asked cautiously, "And the other one? Do you know that Chinese guy among the Wallfacers?"

The nurse said, "You're asking about the person who sent spells to the stars, right? They're mentioned in modern history textbooks."

Has that star changed at all?

“What changes could there be? I haven’t heard of any. What about you?” The nurse looked at another nurse beside her.

The nurse shook her head. "Never heard of it."

"I see..."

Luo Ji breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

He now believed what the beautiful nurse had just said; things might not be as serious as they seemed.

He can finally live like an ordinary person.

Chapter 208 The Four-Pole Pattern

Having fully recovered from hibernation, Lin Feng waited in the waiting room as arranged by the Taylor Group.

As soon as he entered, Lin Feng saw Edith, who was hibernating with him, and he went up to greet her.

"Edith, it's rare to see you so worried. What's wrong?"

Edith sat on the sofa, holding a transparent panel, her face full of worry.

Lin Feng was surprised. In his memory, he had never seen Edith show such a melancholy mood before, and he couldn't help but wonder what had made her like this.

“They…are too confident,” Edith said.

As Lin Feng approached, he looked at the transparent panel in Edith's hand. The panel's function was similar to the tablet computer Lin Feng had before his hibernation, but because it was transparent, it looked more high-end and classy.

What troubled Edith was a comment under a video that assessed the current combat capabilities of the human fleet and compared them with the Trisolaran fleet. The comments were mostly things like, "Impressive, human civilization," "Our journey is to the stars," "Human delivery, mission accomplished," "Are you scared, Trisolarans?" and "Truth only exists within the range of cannons."

A few people who expressed other opinions, such as "humans are not as good as the Trisolarans, our compatriots still need to work harder", "rational comparison, don't be blindly passionate", "the Trisolarans are very strong, humans can't win", etc., would soon be attacked and insulted by a large number of people, who accused the poster of being a hidden ETO member.

Edith's concern is simple: people in this era are too confident!

Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, saying indifferently, "Confidence is a good thing. If people are immersed in despair and helplessness all day long, it is easy for them to have suicidal thoughts. Confidence means that people have hope for the future, and society needs to maintain this state in order to thrive."

“But being too confident can easily turn into arrogance, and once a person becomes arrogant, problems are likely to arise,” Edith said.

Edith continued, "The technology that humanity currently possesses is nothing more than the application of antimatter. The Trisolaran civilization mastered this technology centuries ago, and may even have done it better than us. Yet people of this era believe that humanity has already secured victory and can crush the Trisolaran fleet."

Lin Feng scratched his head and asked Edith, "Edith, have you communicated with the current human decision-making body?"

"Not yet." Edith nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng shrugged, indicating that there was nothing else to worry about.

"The minds of the common people at the bottom have never been clear. They have never used their brains since ancient times. They love to blindly follow the crowd and parrot what others say. You should also be aware of this. As long as the decision-makers don't make any mistakes, the things you are worried about simply don't exist."

While Lin Feng and Edith were talking, a woman walked into the waiting room, smiled very politely at Lin Feng and Edith, and introduced herself to them.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm your companion. My name is Donna William."

"The spaceship is docked here, please follow me."

Lin Feng and the others followed Donna to the place where the spaceship was anchored.

On the way, Lin Feng asked, "When can we set off for the outskirts of the Kuiper Belt?"

“Anytime is fine.” The girl named Donna smiled.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng replied seriously, "I want to set off now."

Donna replied, "Of course, but..."

Donna hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is there anything else? It will take half a month to travel to the outer Kuiper Belt. During this time, the spaceship will not exchange supplies with other space platforms."

Lin Feng thought it over carefully. The Taylor Group would definitely arrange everything that needed to be arranged. There would be no shortage of food and water on the spaceship. The only thing missing was something he personally preferred.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng replied, "When we pass by Neptune, I'll stop there for a while and catch up with some old friends."

"Okay, we'll replan our route and transit through Neptune's orbit."

Donna responded and then spoke to the bracelet on her wrist, after which an electronic voice sounded.

[Ding, route replanned, transit point Neptune, final destination the outer edge of the Kuiper Belt, Fleet World One. Route revised.]

……

Sitting on the spaceship, Lin Feng began to ask Dona about things related to the first plan.

The first plan requires the Taylor Group to maintain sufficient political influence in the human world to sway decisions made by humanity.

This plan is not aimed at the Trisolarans, but at humanity, in order to prevent people like Cheng Xin from taking the stage as decision-makers.

This is similar to the veto power of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

To achieve this, it is not necessary to reorganize an organization like the United Nations; all that is needed is sufficient power. Because if it is strong enough, the human world will have to consider the voice of the Taylor faction. The highest decision-makers in the human world must not only gain the recognition of other human forces but also the approval of the Taylor faction.

"Dona, tell me about the current political landscape of the solar system. Is it still bipolar?" Lin Feng asked.

Donna replied, "No, it's currently quadrupled; the human world is dominated by four forces."

"The four poles?"

Lin Feng was stunned and somewhat bewildered. He had only been in hibernation for less than a hundred years, and suddenly two more poles had sprung up.

Lin Feng turned his gaze to Edith and saw that she was also frowning. The two poles represent two equally matched forces, and the four poles represent four equally matched forces in the current human world.

If we assume that the power of the human world has not increased, then it means that the Taylor system and the Alliance are weakening, or even splitting apart!

Lin Feng hurriedly asked, "Is the Taylor system one of its poles?"

Donna replied, "Yes, there's also the Alliance, which is one of the poles."

“Then what are the other two poles?” Edith asked.

Donna explained, "The fleet worlds on the outer edge of the Kuiper Belt, based on Mr. Taylor's orders, are independent of the political sphere of the solar system and therefore do not belong to the Taylor system. The Taylor system also has no right to interfere with these fleet worlds. After many years of development, they have become a pole in the human world."

Donna then answered, "The other pole is the Fleet Union, which originated from the Space Force's new concept fleet plan. Later, due to factors such as culture, concepts, and cognition, it separated from the Space Force and became an independent political entity, although it is still nominally under the command of the Solar System Fleet Joint Conference."

Lin Feng and Edith exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other.

The independent military fleet knew that the plan was proposed by Lin Feng and handed over to Edith for execution, but they knew nothing about the Space Force's new concept fleet plan.

Not only do I not know anything about it, I haven't even received any related information.

Under the surveillance of the Sophon, all military secrets vanished. Although the Taylor Group and the Alliance were competitors, they tacitly agreed not to hide any deep military secrets.

At least they can understand each other's military strength and military theories.

This indicates that the new concept fleet plan Dona mentioned was proposed only after they went into hibernation.

However, there is a problem here. The Freelance Military Industry Fleet was only made a concrete entity because of Lin Feng's plan. This fleet alliance does not have the requirements of Wallfacers and can become an entity in a shorter time than the Freelance Military Industry Fleet. This shows that the fleet alliance's capabilities are terrifying.

Chapter 209 They all laughed

Donna noticed Lin Feng and the others' confusion and then explained.

"'When a warship's performance is limited by its pilot, we can only upgrade the pilot as well.' This is the core of the new concept fleet plan. Do you remember the past colonization plan on Barnard's planet, which used the high load-bearing capacity and low cost of life support of cyborgs to achieve a speed of 2% of the speed of light? It's almost the same concept, except that was for high-speed colonization, while the new concept fleet plan is for space warfare."

"Is the fleet alliance composed of purely electronic humans?" Lin Feng asked tentatively.

The fact that electronic humans constitute one pole of the human world, and that they are purely electronic humans, made Lin Feng vaguely feel uneasy.

Donna's next answer quickly put Lin Feng's mind at ease.

"No, some are cyborgs, and others are bio-engineered humans; these two groups form the fleet alliance."

"What are bio-engineered humans?" Edith asked curiously.

Donna replied, "In space fleet operations, the human body is just a useless burden, and to accommodate this burden, a warship must free up some of its payload."

"Bio-modified humans are humans who have undergone brain removal surgery and had their brains transplanted into a spaceship's culture dish. These people's brains are immersed in a sterile deep-sea solution year-round, achieving the same overload tolerance as cyborgs and only slightly higher life-sustaining consumption."

Listening to Donna's story, Lin Feng was at a loss for words.

Good heavens! So many people are willingly becoming Yun Tianming?!

Edith found it hard to accept. She said, "This is insane. How are these people going to reproduce? They're not going to recruit other natural beings to be modified, are they?"

Donna replied, "Of course not. Their reproduction method mainly relies on cloning technology. Men clone their own sperm, and women clone their own eggs. The two cells combine in an artificial womb to create a new human being."

"Won't it be inconvenient if only the brain is left?" Lin Feng asked.

Lin Feng couldn't imagine what life would be like with only one brain. What would be left of such a life besides thinking?

Donna smiled. "They can use mechanical doppelgangers. With today's technology, it's easy for mechanical doppelgangers to mimic real human senses. There's nothing inconvenient about it. For the Fleet Alliance, the body is like clothes, something that can be changed whenever they want. The brain is their true 'body'."

"Is this even human?" Lin Feng's eyes twitched slightly.

“Since electronic humans belong to the category of humans, then these brains that have abandoned their bodies can also be considered human,” Donna replied matter-of-factly.

“That’s a really unsettling idea,” Edith said.

Donna just smiled and didn't argue or refute anything. The values ​​of people from the future were destined to be unacceptable to people from ancient times. Just like if a bikini swimsuit on the beach appeared in the Song Dynasty, it would probably be thrown into a pig cage.

"Speaking of which, the fleet alliance is not only related to the Space Force, but also to you, Mr. Taylor," Donna said.
