Fill the universe with order and universal love? The theory of a bright ocean? A bunch of paramecia dreaming of becoming cosmic emperors?

Lin Feng didn't quite believe that no one was directing them from behind the scenes, but Edith's answer showed that the protesters really were uninstructed and that was what they thought.

Can people really be this stupid?

Could it be that they've all taken too many drugs and their thinking has become abnormal?

Seeing the doubt in Lin Feng's eyes, Edith said, "You can tell he's very rational."

"Then why did you say such crazy things?" Lin Feng retorted.

Edith said, "You know about the recent protests. Public opinion believes that humanity has won the war against the Trisolarans, so those people outside advocate that humanity can live with more dignity. They cannot accept living like rats, living a life of ignominy. Even if they die, they should die with dignity."

"A dignified death? Are you kidding me?"

Lin Feng, who was still drinking milk, almost spat it out. He felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in history.

“These are part of their original words,” Edith said.

Lin Feng was at a loss for words. He never expected that someone would risk their own survival for the sake of a vague sense of dignity.

"What a nuisance. I'm supposed to be heading to the Trisolaran system in a year, and yet I still run into this mess," Lin Feng muttered to himself.

“Should we drive them away?” Edith asked.

Lin Feng shook his head. "No need, I'll go out and talk to them."

After a quick bite to eat, Lin Feng used his mechanical double to open the door. Outside was a courtyard, and a large crowd was gathered outside the courtyard gate. The Taylor-system soldiers protecting Lin Feng stood guard at their posts, keeping watch on the protesters outside the courtyard.

Aside from the noise, no one resorted to violence; they were just holding banners and eye-catching signs, and a bunch of reporters were taking pictures around.

"It's much more peaceful than I imagined, completely different from before," Lin Feng said, somewhat surprised.

If this were two centuries ago, many people would have thrown things into his yard, regardless of whether they hit anyone or even just broken a pane of glass.

“As living standards improve, people naturally become much more civilized,” Edith said with a smile.

Lin Feng's appearance gradually quieted the noise, and everyone's attention was focused on him.

"Everyone, I understand your demands."

Lin Feng cleared his throat and continued, "But I also have a question that a civilization wants to know, and I hope you can answer it for me."

"Why are you people who shout 'people should die with dignity' standing in front of my mansion's gates instead of floating in space? What were you doing during the apocalyptic battle? Were you risking your lives on the front lines, or were you cowering behind human soldiers, behaving like cowards?"

A few simple questions were enough to raise the blood pressure of the marchers outside the courtyard.

They did not participate in the apocalyptic battle; none of those who did participate returned.

Nine water droplets surrounded and destroyed all human warships. The anti-hydrogen gas cloud scattered after the antimatter warships exploded spread across the battlefield. Even if there were small escape pods on the ships, they would not be able to escape in the battlefield environment where the anti-hydrogen gas cloud was flying everywhere.

Small escape hulls do not have the strong magnetic repulsion force of the antimatter warship's outer armor to protect themselves.

Lin Feng continued, "No one really thinks that just because they shout 'human civilization will prevail,' they're incredibly brave and extraordinary, capable of smashing a water droplet with a single sliding tackle, right?"

"Are we all just hoping that alien civilizations are stupid enough and technologically inferior enough that even if their technology surpasses that of humans, humans will inevitably acquire it, crack it, and easily surpass them? No way!"

"You don't really believe that humanity, even if not the most intelligent, is still in the top ten in the vast universe, do you? Or can anyone guarantee me that the development speed of human civilization ranks in the top ten among all civilizations in the universe? I don't ask for much, just to rank in the top ten. Who among you can guarantee that? What's your basis for that? There are only ten civilizations in the entire universe, so humanity must be ranked tenth?"

Lin Feng's sarcasm pushed the protesting crowd to their breaking point.

"Who cares if we can make it into the top ten? What we want is for future generations of children to live with dignity, breathe the air of freedom, and no longer be shrouded in the shadow of fear!"

"Yes, humanity's future should be standing tall among the stars, not merely existing in a state of ignominy!"

"Feng Taylor! Humanity was born into this universe to prove its existence! The path you've chosen is completely wrong!"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes. Now he was certain that the group's level of stupidity was exactly as Edith had described, without the slightest exaggeration.

Lin Feng waited until the group of people outside got tired of shouting and the noise gradually subsided before he spoke.

"I fully understand your thoughts. Human beings should live with dignity, and even in death, they should never lose their dignity."

Chapter 231 God said yes

"But... since you harbor such lofty goals, why force me to change my choice? You people have hands, feet, and brains; you can easily go out into the universe, develop and build your own systems, and then colonize other star systems..."

"You are fully capable of making your own choices, so why come to me? Do you want me to change my mind and support you, so that your ideas will seem more correct?" Lin Feng asked.

The sarcastic remarks further enraged the protesters.

Lin Feng ignored him and continued, "To put it bluntly, you people are just too well-fed and haven't experienced much hardship. After experiencing one apocalyptic battle, you think you've seen through life and are worldly-wise, and that 'survival' is something that can be obtained easily."

"I don't have time to waste on your 'why don't they eat meat porridge' nonsense, you bunch of ignorant fools. Get lost and don't bother my work."

Lin Feng coldly dismissed him.

However, the crowd marching outside the courtyard was already enraged by Lin Feng's previous words, and their emotions were running high.

"You fart!"

"Feng Taylor, you're just insecure! What's the difference between living without dignity and being dead?"

"If you're insecure, be insecure on your own. Don't drag everyone else down with you!"

The commotion continued for a long time without subsiding. Lin Feng waved his hand, and the Taylor-affiliated soldiers guarding the mansion fired a single shot into the air in unison before raising their guns and aiming them at the crowd outside the courtyard.

The crowd outside the courtyard fell silent in shock at the sudden gunfire, and the soldiers' chilling aura sent shivers down their spines.

Lin Feng said, "People must live before they can talk about dignity. If you want your dignity to never be tarnished, please go to the ruins of the cosmic battlefield and jump into those glowing anti-hydrogen clouds to evaporate yourself."

"Don't use the survival of human civilization as the price to satisfy your petty vanity. If you want to fight for dignity, fight for it yourself. If you want to take risks, take them yourself. If you want to die, then die. Don't drag other people who want to live down with you and share the risks. You have no right to force others to make the same choices as you."

……

The protests have subsided, but that doesn't mean the matter is over.

Because of his command of the Taylor-class soldiers to fire, Lin Feng was immediately caught in a storm of public opinion. Even if no one was injured, pointing a gun at humans was absolutely unacceptable.

Things are different now than before. Lin Feng held a press conference for this purpose, both to address the protests and to correct some erroneous interpretations circulating online about the 'non-existent' development direction.

"Regarding research on human modification, a mainstream view is that it is about turning humans into beasts?"

"I want to clarify here that it is not about turning humans into beasts, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the cruel past practice of turning humans into low-intelligence beasts. You have all read history to some extent, and I would never support this way of continuing civilization."

Lin Feng sat on the press conference platform, explaining his 'non-existent' development plan.

"Then, may I ask, what does human body modification refer to?" the female reporter asked.

Lin Feng said, "It refers to quantization, microscopy, transparency, and the disguise of inanimate objects."

"Even if human civilization collectively plays the role of a group of low-intelligence animals, it still poses a certain threat to hunters in the dark forest. Perhaps one day these ordinary animals will start to think about questions like 'who I am', 'where I came from, and where I am going'."

"In this universe, no one is a prophet. The future is uncertain. The hunters in the dark forest cannot guarantee the development potential of newly born civilizations or whether they can surpass them in a short period of time and make them lose all their technological advantages."

"Therefore, planets with life also have a certain probability of experiencing a dark forest attack, where animals can evolve into intelligent animals and then form civilizations, and the potential of this yet-to-be-born civilization is immeasurable."

The reporters in the press conference room gasped. They had all thought that the Black Forest attack was only aimed at civilization, and that if humanity regressed to animal form, it might avoid being attacked by the Black Forest. But now, hearing Lin Feng's explanation, they felt an even deeper sense of despair.

“This is terrifying,” the female reporter said.

Lin Feng continued, "Therefore, based on this consideration, disguising oneself as an inanimate object is the most suitable choice. Hunters will be anxious because of other creatures in the Dark Forest, but they will not worry about the soil beneath their feet, the air around them, or the space-time they are in, because they are all inanimate objects."

"I appreciate your answer."

The female reporter, having obtained firsthand news material, sat down with satisfaction.

Then, another reporter stood up and asked, "Mr. Taylor, there are many voices online accusing your research on human quantumization of being a disregard for human life, and many professors and experts are even providing theoretical support for it. What is your response to this?"

"Just a bunch of half-baked illiterates. Because they lack presence and are not valued in reality, they run to the internet, pretending to have a vast amount of knowledge, hoping to gain admiration and enjoy honors that don't belong to them." Lin Feng answered without thinking.

Seeing that the reporter seemed to want to say something more, Lin Feng spoke first.

"Don't give me any of that stuff about what experts and professors have said. I knew two centuries ago that a theory could be overturned at any time if it wasn't proven. And academic qualifications can be bought and sold. One day I could buy a professor's degree, write a paper on 1+1=3, and I could transform myself into what you call a highly educated elite."

"I have a suggestion here—to those experts and professors who question my decision on the quantumization of humanity, saying it's unscientific and unreasonable, since you have such extensive knowledge of quantum theory, please develop some new technologies derived from quantum theory and make more contributions to human civilization, so that human history will remember you. Don't spend all day on the internet shouting that this is impossible and that is impossible. Being sensational and trying to grab attention doesn't make you seem smart."

Upon hearing this, the reporters were immediately energized, excitedly writing down every word Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng didn't really understand quantum theory; he only knew a little bit about it. The reason he dared to be so confident was because he had learned the truth of the universe from 'God'.

The original author created the Quantum Ghost, which can exist in a state of being both alive and dead, and is immortal.

This is the basis of Lin Feng's confidence in his research on the quantumization of humanity. In his previous life, the quantum ghost may have been unscientific and contradicted quantum theory in some ways, but in this universe where 'God' exists, the quantum ghost is an unshakable cosmic truth.

What scholar, expert, or professor, no matter how clever, can fabricate universal rules out of thin air and deny God's decisions? Even a Zero-Based being cannot do that!

Take quantum entanglement for example. In Lin Feng's previous life, quantum entanglement could not transmit useful information in real time. But in the universe where Lin Feng is now, quantum entanglement can transmit useful information in real time at faster than the speed of light, because God said it was possible.

If the theory deviates from the original setting, it's definitely not that the original setting is wrong, but that the person is wrong.

"Based on the current progress, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be completed in August. The remaining four months can be used for safety testing, so we have plenty of time," a core member replied at the meeting.

Lin Feng nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Next, I will explain the direction of the Taylor system's work after I leave the solar system."

As he spoke, Lin Feng shifted his gaze to the core members of the Taylor Group, who all perked up.

Lin Feng organized his thoughts for a moment before speaking, “A bipolar world order is still necessary and is one of the principles that the Taylor system must adhere to. Humanity will only struggle when it feels a sense of crisis, and only in that struggle can it make progress.”

"Even if one day the Taylor system can progress without a sense of crisis, it must never abandon the principle of polarization, because this choice is more beneficial to the entire human world. What the Taylor system can do, other human forces may not be able to do."

Lin Feng's words caused the core members of the Taylor Group to look at each other in surprise, all of them taken aback by Lin Feng's request.

They believed that with the current deterrence system in place and the Trisolarans successfully deterred, the Taylor system no longer needed to adhere to the principle of bipolarity.

Lin Feng made this decision naturally because of the possibility of a Cheng Xin-style swordsman appearing in the future.

Although the human world today has deviated from the original plot due to his arrival, a new deterrence system has been added to the crucial deterrence system. The technology of real-time information transmission using quantum entanglement of the three bodies has been used to achieve a larger-scale real-time deterrence system.

Theoretically, it is many times safer than the original work.

But Lin Feng was not a god after all; he could not see the future.

Two centuries ago, he planned to strengthen the space force, but even with the advent of antimatter warships, humanity still lost. Two centuries ago, he planned to control human thought so that the human world could avoid collective intellectual decline in the future, but a group of intellectually challenged individuals emerged, clamoring for the 'Light Ocean Theory,' 'Humanity is Invincible,' and 'Humanity Will Prevail.'

Based on various considerations, Lin Feng dared not relinquish his right to interfere in the human world, and the bipolar structure meant that Lin Feng would have an absolute veto power.

If Lin Feng disagrees, the leader of human civilization will never be someone like Cheng Xin, because that would mean that half of the human world is against Cheng Xin.

Lin Feng continued, "Furthermore, there is the development direction that 'does not exist'."
