At the Star Harbor, countless people excitedly recorded this moment.
Lin Feng looked around and exclaimed in surprise, "To my surprise, I thought you would hate me."
"If it weren't for you, the Fleet World wouldn't exist. You created the Fleet World," the World Lord said.
"Give me a tour; I'm very curious about your history."
"This way, please."
The Lord of the Realm gestured.
Along the way, Lin Feng learned about the general development of the fleet world from the world lord.
After the first industrial fleets arrived at the outskirts of the Kuiper Belt, they began to adapt to this sunless environment.
Lacking resources, the fleet has grown to its current size by relying on nuclear fusion reactors and various minerals and ice crystals mined from meteorites.
"In the early stages of development, the working environment was extremely harsh. In addition to considering the fuel for the nuclear fusion reactor, we also had to consider the processing of other material resources. Fortunately, nowadays, our resource reserves are abundant," said the Realm Lord.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Feng knew that the truth was definitely not as simple as these few words made it out to be, but for the sake of the plan, he had no other choice.
"I have a question for you. If one day an enemy were to destroy all of humanity, would you have the courage to fight against them?" Lin Feng looked at them with a serious expression.
“You’ve asked unnecessary questions. We are warriors,” the Realm Lord said, shaking his head.
Lin Feng added, "Including mutual destruction."
The realm lord fell silent, pondered for a moment, and then answered.
"...My answer remains the same as before."
Lin Feng smiled with satisfaction and handed a data disk to the Realm Lord.
“Very good, this is the answer I wanted. Here is a set of engineering drawings and a renovation task. The construction on the engineering drawings needs to be completed by you within one year.”
The data disk was connected to the Realm Lord's personal terminal. After browsing the contents of the data disk, the Realm Lord couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Only a one-year deadline? There might not be enough time."
The engineering drawings cover the entire Kuiper Belt, but Lin Feng has given a one-year deadline. Clearly, their fleet world cannot handle such a massive undertaking.
"We can assign the construction tasks to other fleet worlds," Lin Feng said.
"understood."
Fleet worlds are evenly distributed around the Kuiper Belt. If multiple fleet worlds work together, the construction time will be greatly reduced.
The realm lord hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively.
"Regarding the mission..."
"Is this also very difficult for you to complete?" Lin Feng asked rhetorically.
The Realm Lord explained, "No, it's just that I don't understand the purpose of arranging the modified warships into a planar formation. Also, the solar panels on these warships are ridiculously large; they can practically be used as solar sails."
Lin Feng's requirements for the world lord's spaceship modification were to install extremely large solar panel wings on both sides of the spaceship, and to train all fleet worlds to use a planar array.
"Just carry out the tasks as required. You don't need to worry about anything else. All of this is to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan."
"Soldiers, I need your help," Lin Feng said.
……
After leaving the hibernation center, Luo Ji encountered Shi Qiang and his son Shi Xiaoming.
To help Luo Ji adapt to life in the future world as quickly as possible, Shi Qiang and Shi Xiaoming took Luo Ji on a tour of underground cities on Earth.
Shi Xiaoming led them to a park, where in the very center was a time display with a string of Arabic numerals.
"What is this string of dates used to commemorate?" Luo Ji asked curiously.
Suddenly, a nearby machine popped up an intelligent voice assistant, answering Luo Ji's question.
"Commemorating the famous 'Workers' Spring' a century ago, an event that marked humanity's abandonment of the traditional, outdated development path centered on capital in favor of a new path centered on humanity, driven by a surge in productivity."
Following the sound, Luo Ji saw the intelligent machine that resembled a wooden stake, with a line of text written on its underside.
Only when man lies down can he measure the measure of all things.
What does this sentence mean?
Luo Ji recognized each character individually, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.
"A general term to describe a social phenomenon that emerged on a large scale a century ago: people who have lost their ambition, are content with the status quo, and even suppress their desire to have children." Shi Xiaoming said.
"What caused this?" Shi Qiang asked.
Shi Xiaoming shrugged. "What else could it be? Of course, it's because of the evil capitalism and the evil private ownership system. Those money-grubbing robbers squeeze the blood out of the lower classes and squander the money they've siphoned off."
"However, these people later paid a heavy price. The people at the bottom could no longer bear it and launched riots in one space city after another. Later, after many consultations among the human decision-makers, we have the 'Spring of the Workers' we have today."
Luo Ji became curious because Shi Xiaoming and the intelligent machine both mentioned the term "Spring of the Workers".
"What does 'Spring of the Workers' refer to?" Luo Ji asked.
Shi Xiaoming said, "The Taylor standard of living is the bottom line for humanity. No country or society should have a standard of living lower than that of the Taylors."
"The Taylor Group? You mean that space corporation ruled by a dictator?" Luo Ji asked in surprise.
Shi Xiaoming said, "Yes, that's it. It's a pity that although their standard of living is good, they are a dictatorial group."
“They have their good points, but their bad points are also thoroughly bad. The Taylor faction doesn’t consider the voices of the grassroots, and there is no democratization. Later, the Taylor faction had a long period of democratization movement. Guess what they did?” Shi Xiaoming kept the two of them in suspense.
"Hurry up and say it," Shi Qiang said impatiently.
Shi Xiaoming said, "They used tranquilizer guns and sleeping bullets to knock out all those people in the democratization movement, then packed them into containers and dumped them all on Earth."
Shi Qiang and Luo Ji stared wide-eyed, shocked by what Shi Xiaoming had said.
"Isn't anyone going to stop them?" Luo Ji asked in astonishment.
Shi Xiaoming sighed, "Stop them? How can we stop them? Their fleet is no less powerful than the Space Force. Are we going to have the Space Force start a civil war with the Taylor Group over something like this? The Earth government can't just smash the containers with missiles, can it? There are lives inside those containers."
“Speaking of which, you also know Luo Ji, that dictator from the Taylor faction,” Shi Xiaoming said.
"I know him, who is he?"
Luo Ji recalled the Wallfacers he knew, all of whom he had met once, but he really couldn't imagine which Wallfacer had done something so ruthless.
“Maple Taylor, son of Frederick Taylor.”
“It’s him!” Luo Ji’s face showed a look of understanding.
Chapter 212 Rushing to Offer Up a Head
After assigning tasks to the world lords of the fleet world in the Kuiper Belt, Lin Feng returned to the solar system.
Afterwards, Lin Feng went straight to the Taylor system's space headquarters and convened a meeting with all the core members of the Taylor system.
The purpose of the meeting was for them to report to him on all the actions of the Taylor system when the droplet arrived in the solar system a year later.
As Lin Feng listened to the report, his face grew increasingly dark.
Although he had somewhat guessed that this might happen at first, when he actually heard the report from the Taylor faction, he felt his blood pressure rise.
This group has already discussed with the fleet alliance and the coalition that after the droplet enters the solar system, the three major powers of the human world, apart from the fleet world, will each send their own combat fleets in a military exercise formation to pass by the droplet.
What is a combat fleet combination?
It is a large fleet that includes the main fleet, the transport fleet, and the industrial fleet.
This was done to show off the power that humanity now possesses to the Trisolaran world.
Of course, there is also an inspiring intention. Compared to the insignificance of the Trisolaran probes, the sight of the powerful human fleet will dispel the Trisolaran shadow that has suppressed humanity for two centuries.
All those plans I devised were so that this moment wouldn't happen again with two thousand shots, instead of sending you guys to your deaths!
Lin Feng suppressed his anger and rhythmically tapped the table until the last core member of the Taylor faction finished his impassioned report. Only then did Lin Feng ask with a forced smile.
"Ever since you explained to me the fleet deployment during our first contact with the Trisolarans, I've been troubled by one question. Could you please answer it for me?"
"Where did you not understand? We can explain it to you again," a core member asked.
Lin Feng said, "Why do you care? Those ten high-speed objects that the Trisolarans launched into the solar system are called probes? Those things have the words 'I am a probe' written on them?"
This question left the core members of the Taylor faction looking at each other in bewilderment.
Most of them believed that the ten high-speed objects launched by the Trisolaran fleet were probes, mainly due to the inertia of their thinking. The older generation all called them probes, so it was not a problem for them to call ten high-speed objects probes.
One of the core members of the Taylor faction thought for a moment and replied, "These ten objects could of course be other things from the Trisolaran fleet. We call them probes simply because in the human military system, the smallest military unit is a drone."
"Then why do you think they pose no threat to humans? Drones also possess considerable offensive capabilities," Lin Feng continued to ask.
“They are too small. Based on the trajectory of the ‘brush,’ even ten of them combined are less than one ten-thousandth the size of a single ship in the Trisolaran fleet.” A core member of the Taylor system shook his head and continued, “With such a small size, even if these ten high-speed objects are filled with antimatter, they will not pose much of a threat to human ships.”
"Volume doesn't mean anything. The singularity of a black hole is also very small. Do you think it poses little threat to the human fleet or the entire solar system?" Lin Feng asked with a cold smile.
Lin Feng's rhetorical question left everyone speechless; volume certainly doesn't necessarily tell the whole story.
Lin Feng looked around at everyone and said decisively.
"I think the Taylor fleet doesn't need to participate in welcoming the Trisolarans'... well, probes."
"Mr. Taylor, this is a historic moment, marking humanity's victory in the war against the Trisolarans and the reclaiming of human dignity and confidence. As a member of the human world, the Taylor system cannot miss this ceremony that proclaims the brilliance of human civilization in the universe; otherwise, the glory that should belong to us will be lost."
One of the core members of the Taylor faction said anxiously, in his view, Lin Feng's request was to make the Taylor faction hand over the readily available honor to the fleet alliance and the coalition.
This is the honor of humanity defeating alien invaders, the honor of humanity's two centuries of hard work and struggle!
Lin Feng glared back at the other person and questioned him.
"How much is Glory worth?"
"..."
The other person was stunned, completely unprepared for Lin Feng's question.
Lin Feng continued, "Since when did the Taylor faction start pursuing such empty things? Glory is worthless. How can you abandon the vigilance and preparedness that soldiers should have for the sake of glory? Has the virtual space exercise of this era been too lenient on you?"
Lin Feng's tone was full of disappointment and frustration, which made the core members of the Taylor Group frown.
“What warriors pursue is glory, and this has always been the case, Mr. Taylor.”
"The times today are very different from those of the past. Humanity's strength is evident to all. Virtual space exercises are constantly honing humanity's strategies and tactics, and interstellar colonization has raised the upper limit of human civilization's resource control."
