The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

"um, I?"

Lin Feng blinked, pointed at himself, and asked with a strange look on his face.

Donna chuckled and replied, "After the Fleet Union became independent, most of the subsequent members were players. They have a very high acceptance of this. Some scholars believe that this is directly related to virtual reality games, because players have chosen to detach themselves from their physical bodies and immerse themselves in games for many years, so they don't value their physical bodies very much. And the virtual space exercises you advocate have further exacerbated the players' belief that 'the physical body is useless'..."

Noticing Edith's glance, Lin Feng sighed and shrugged, interrupting Donna's story with a helpless expression.

"Alright, whatever the blame, just pin it on me."

Besides discussing matters related to the plan, Lin Feng and his group learned from their conversation with Donna about some of the more serious situations the Taylor Group had faced in recent years, such as the two democratization and independence movements that broke out after their hibernation.

Fortunately, Edith had made all the necessary arrangements. Those independent space cities were eventually overthrown by the lower classes within those space cities and chose to return to the Taylor system's jurisdiction.

From that time onward, democratization was labeled as 'unsuitable for the system of space civilization,' and a centralized system was deemed necessary in space because it was the only way to facilitate management and ensure that everyone's right to life was not violated.

The Taylor faction, on the other hand, won back the hearts and minds of the people. With these hearts and minds, the foundation was consolidated, and the overall strength reached a new level.

Thinking of the bio-engineered humans Donna had just mentioned, Lin Feng couldn't help but think of another group of people on Earth who were also modified by their own kind, but who didn't even have the right to a normal life.

Humans turned into beasts!

"There's something I'd like to ask. How are the beast-like humans doing now?" Lin Feng asked.

Donna thought for a moment and then replied, "The bestial humans on Earth were abolished twenty years ago. Although bestial humans who have completed their learning period can no longer be restored, their descendants can return to human society to receive education and thus regain the abilities and identity of Homo sapiens."

"The beastification of humans was a product of humanity's madness under the heavy pressure of the Trisolaran crisis. Now that humanity has completely shaken off the shadows, the beastification plan, which is responsible for the continuation of the race's bloodline, naturally no longer needs to exist."

Lin Feng fell into deep thought. He wasn't happy about the cancellation of the human-to-beast transformation plan, but instead asked about more detailed matters.

"What does the human world intend to do with those beast-like humans who cannot regain their intelligence?"

"They were pitiful people who had no choice, victims of the struggle between humanity and the Trisolarans. Twenty years ago, the Solar System Fleet Joint Conference made a decision to allow these last remaining beast-like humans to spend their twilight years in peace."

Hearing Donna's reply, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The announcement by the Solar System Fleet Joint Conference meant that multiple human forces in the human world had spoken out, recognizing the beast-like humans as their own and providing them with the most basic humanitarian support.

The practice of discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose is common throughout history. Killing a human who has degenerated into a beast is not costly, but rescuing them for free is a costly endeavor.

The reasons for this could be Lin Feng's attitude towards the beast-like humans, or it could be that the medical resources he provided helped the beast-like humans accumulate considerable prestige in the human world, or it could simply be that the decision-makers had a change of heart and stopped treating humans as just a series of numbers.

In any case, the fate of humans turning into beasts is not too bad.

Edith patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "It seems the result is alright. At least people still remember to repay kindness and didn't discard them after they've served their purpose."

……

Lin Feng and his group arrived at the space city cemetery in Neptune's orbit.

Davis's dummy robot was already waiting at the spaceport to welcome Lin Feng and his group.

"Davis, it's been a long time."

Lin Feng greeted him, but the mechanical double shook his head.

"You should prioritize the plan; the plan is far more important than us."

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Don't worry, I can handle things well. It's not time to race against time yet."

The group entered the cemetery, talking as they walked.

From the conversation, Lin Feng learned that Davis had stepped down from the decision-making level of the Taylor Group. Although he still had a strong voice and prestige within the Taylor Group, he chose to hand over power to other powerful figures and would no longer inquire about or interfere with the development of the Taylor Group.

After stepping down from the Taylorist decision-making level, Davis stayed in this cemetery space city as its manager, wiping the tombstones in the space city every day.

What does it feel like to sweep your own grave?

As Lin Feng watched Davis's mechanical double skillfully wipe the tombstone bearing Davis's name, he jokingly asked a question.

Davis thought for a moment, then said seriously, "...It's roughly like cleaning your own house. You have to do it carefully and diligently. Although it's quite troublesome, you can't skip it."

Would you like to choose to experience it?

Lin Feng quickly waved his hand, declining the other party's suggestion.

Later in the conversation, Lin Feng suddenly brought up another purpose for his visit to Davis.

"By the way, besides visiting you, there's something important I'd like to ask you this time."

“Please speak,” Davis gestured.

"The object launched by the Trisolaran fleet will arrive in the solar system in a little over a year. What do you think it is?" Lin Feng asked.

Davis looked at Lin Feng with a half-smile, not answering Lin Feng's question, but instead asking a question in return.

"What do you think that is?"

"When two armies are at war, what else could the other side throw at you? It can't be a birthday cake, can it?" Lin Feng shrugged and smiled.

“You’re so funny,” Davis laughed too.

After the two laughed for a while, Lin Feng's smile faded, and he asked seriously.

"In today's Taylor Group, can I still be the same as I used to be?"

Davis shook his head. "The Taylor Group has always been there. Your concerns are completely unnecessary."

"That's good."

Lin Feng's serious expression relaxed.

Chapter 210 The Advantage Lies With Me

While Donna was piloting the spaceship to the outer edge of the Kuiper Belt, Lin Feng learned something from her that moved him deeply.

"Humanity plans to complete negotiations with Trisolarans next year, during the initial contact with them?"

Where does their confidence come from?

Lin Feng retorted irritably, wondering why the human decision-makers were still so slow-witted after he had orchestrated so many things, from virtual space exercises to educational control.

Should he really give each of these decision-makers a head-opening surgery?

Donna explained, “Our confidence comes from that giant electromagnetic railgun, the antimatter fleet equipped with various antimatter weapons and other types of weapons, and the Trisolaran fleet that has not yet reached the solar system. Even though human technology is not as advanced as that of the Trisolarans, we have already gained a strategic advantage. This is a good opportunity to force the Trisolarans to lift the Sophon blockade.”

"The situation between the Trisolarans and humanity has now reversed. We can harm the Trisolarans, but they cannot harm us. If we launch a giant electromagnetic railgun, their world will be destroyed in just four years. However, if the Trisolaran fleet wants to harm us, at our current speed, it will take at least one or two hundred years."

To put it simply, Donna's words mean that the human decision-makers believe they currently have a significant advantage.

Humanity can threaten the Trisolaran system, but Trisolaris cannot threaten our solar system. This is a huge strategic advantage, and it's obvious.

Humanity only needs to fire a single cannonball to destroy the Trisolaran civilization.

Through their understanding of the Sophons, the human decision-makers knew that human civilization's technology was still inferior to that of the Trisolaran civilization, but they were also certain that the Trisolarans could not stop the explosion of stars within their own star system, and this was their confidence.

Destroying the Trisolaran civilization was no longer a difficult task in the eyes of human decision-makers; it was just a matter of firing a cannonball.

As for the Trisolaran fleet, humanity possesses a far greater number of antimatter warships than them, so they are not a threat at all.

Even if humanity's antimatter warships are still no match for the Trisolaran fleet, they can choose to escape to other human colonies and then destroy the Trisolaran fleet's ships, which can only reach 10% of the speed of light, by detonating the sun.

Human decision-makers, we've got this game in the bag!

Edith asked in bewilderment, "Since we can already threaten the enemy, why not just destroy their homeworld with a stellar explosion?"

Donna explained, "Because the Trisolaran system has three suns and is too close to the solar system, if the suns explode, it will inevitably affect the environment within the solar system, and the Earth's ecology will also be greatly affected. Considering these factors, negotiations between humanity and Trisolaris are worthwhile."

"Besides, no matter what, destroying a world is ultimately a sad thing. In that world, perhaps there are Trisolarans who, like humans, yearn for peace? Destroying such a living world is ultimately an act that disregards humanity," Donna added.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng curled his lip in disdain.

……

During the time Lin Feng spent traveling to the outskirts of the Kuiper Belt, the Alliance and the fleet jointly held a week-long political exchange meeting.

"Now, let's continue with item 1931918 from the last discussion, concerning the unified deployment of combat forces," the meeting chairperson stated.

The meeting moderator pointed out that the antagonism between the Taylor system and the Alliance would affect the complexity of macro-level military command during the war between humanity and the Trisolarans, thereby weakening the overall military command capabilities of human civilization. Human civilization urgently needs a coordinated and unified military command system to coordinate the overall situation.

"The Taylors will not approve of us annexing their military forces; it's not in their interest," the mind representing the fleet alliance replied through the loudspeaker.

The representative from the alliance countered, "Mr. Taylor's original intention in constructing the bipolar structure was to allow the Space Force to continuously explore its potential and improve through competition. Now, in just one year, humanity will make its first contact with the Trisolarans, and the bipolar competition is no longer necessary. The assistance of the past has now become a burden on human civilization."

"Humanity is now powerful enough to threaten the safety of enemy homeworlds. From this perspective, the Taylor system has long since fulfilled its mission."

"What still exists in the solar system today is a beast that is gradually going out of control. We must control it before it goes completely out of control, otherwise, no one will be safe."

The alliance representative's solemn reply pointed out that the existence of the Taylor Group revolved around Lin Feng, and used Lin Feng's public arrangements for the Taylor Group to discredit the current Taylor Group.

Humanity is already strong enough, so the Taylor system has no need to exist. Humanity should return to its original unified state, form a united front, and demonstrate the strength of human civilization to the Trisolaran civilization.

"You want to start a civil war? We oppose doing so. Humanity needs to preserve enough strength to fight the Trisolaran fleet. Meaningless internal strife is not in the collective interest of humanity." The mind representing the Fleet Union clearly expressed the Fleet Union's attitude.

A civil war is impossible, and I will certainly not be the one to start one.

"We have no intention of resolving the current problems through war; that would be irrational and would put the collective interests of humanity elsewhere," the alliance representative replied.

The fact that there was no war meant there were other ways to resolve the Taylor system's problems without bloodshed. The representatives of the fleet alliance understood the implication in the other party's words.

What are your plans?

The representative of the alliance replied, "The Taylor faction's roots lie in Maple Taylor, and Maple Taylor's roots lie in the Wallfacer Project. Declaring the termination of the Wallfacer Project undermines the legitimacy of the Taylor faction's existence from its very foundation."

"This is not enough to strike at the Taylor faction. Maple Taylor has already been stripped of his Wallfacer status." The representative of the Fleet Union was not optimistic about this.

"That's because no one can be sure whether this is part of the plan. The plan to completely eliminate the Wallfacers is different. When we reach a preliminary peace agreement with the Trisolarans, the Taylor faction will completely lose all its supporters," the Alliance representative said decisively.

Once humanity truly 'wins' against the Trisolarans, the Wallfacer Project will naturally become unnecessary, and if no one supports the Taylor lineage anymore, its existence will naturally begin to disappear.

In this way, the Taylorist problem can be solved without bloodshed.

"...When do you plan to start?" the representative of the fleet alliance asked rhetorically.

"At the next Solar System Fleet Joint Meeting, we will announce the abolition of the Wallfacer Program and the end of all Wallfacer missions. At that time, we hope to have your support, for the sake of all mankind."

Chapter 211 I Need You, Warriors

Lin Feng and his group arrived at their destination. After their spaceship reached the outer edge of the Kuiper Belt, it made contact with a fleet world.

The world of Fleet is enormous; from a distance, it looks like a massive asteroid field.

Under the arrangement of this fleet world, Lin Feng and his ship docked at the starport of the fleet world's flagship.

"Welcome, Mr. Taylor."

When the Lord of the Fleet World heard that Lin Feng was coming, he personally waited for him at the starport. As soon as Lin Feng got off the spaceship, the Lord warmly walked up and shook hands with him.
