The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

Lin Feng could more or less guess what these people were thinking. Instead of cursing, he scanned everyone in the conference room and cleared his throat.

"Well, let me say a few words now. To become a Wallfacer, I first need to thank the country and the people who believed in me...blah blah blah..."

After rambling on for almost an hour, someone finally couldn't sit still any longer.

“Excuse me, Mr. Taylor, may I interrupt?”

"There's no need for unnecessary nonsense here. The people gathered here are not here to hear your thoughts on becoming a Wallfacer."

"We gathered here to save humanity and find a way to fight the Trisolarans."

Lin Feng shrugged, his expression stiff, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

He was suppressing a laugh. To be honest, every time Lin Feng heard someone say the words "save humanity," he felt incredibly silly, as if he were cosplaying a superhero from some island nation with a bunch of people.

Those present were all elites, so they could naturally see what Lin Feng's expression meant, and immediately became even more dissatisfied.

Damn it! All of humanity is in grave danger, and you, some nobody who popped up out of nowhere, were thrown into the Wallfacer position by that deserter Taylor, and now you can still laugh!

Many who still held onto the hope that Taylor's son might actually be talented were utterly disappointed.

Unlike Lin Feng, they had never read The Three-Body Problem and did not know that the Three-Body crisis could be resolved by Luo Ji. Faced with the incomparably powerful Trisolarans, these human elites only felt an overwhelming pressure that made it hard for them to breathe. The omnipresent surveillance of the sophons made them feel like they were being watched by someone at all times.

“Mr. Taylor, if you are not capable of doing the work of a Wallfacer, please hand it over to someone else!”

"Every moment here is precious. The Trisolaran fleet is approaching Earth every second. We don't have that much time to play house with you."

The speaker was a soldier, and the rank insignia on his uniform told Lin Feng that he was a major general.

"Oh...so who do you think I should give it to? You?"

Lin Feng looked at the major general with amusement, still wearing a half-smile, his expression brimming with sarcasm. If this were in a thug's den on the street, he would be getting beaten up.

However, being a powerful military figure, the major general, though displeased, didn't resort to violence like a thug. He merely snorted and looked at Lin Feng with disdain.

"Anyone will do, as long as it's not you. You simply don't have that ability!"

"Your father at least served as the U.S. Secretary of Defense, possessing advanced strategic thinking and a forward-looking strategic vision, and he also provided the theoretical foundation for the U.S. global counterterrorism strategy. And what about you? What do you have?"

Lin Feng nodded and asked with a smile, "Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense."

“Very good. Are there any CIA personnel here? Take this major general away. I am 100% certain that he is a member of the ETO organization.”

The major general's expression froze instantly. Seeing that no one around him reacted, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Lin Feng's next words made his heart jump again.

"Looks like there's no CIA here. I guess I'll have to call myself..."

As soon as Lin Feng took out his phone, the major general couldn't sit still any longer.

"Wait! You can't do that!"

"Whether I do it or not is my freedom; this is a free country."

Without wasting any time, Lin Feng dialed the number directly. As soon as the call connected, Lin Feng roared.

"What kind of work is the CIA doing?! People from the ETO have come to my team! They're in the conference room right now, and my personal safety is seriously threatened!"

"I'll be there in a minute! The ETO agents are planning to eliminate me to stop the Wallfacer Project!"

Lin Feng's outburst turned the major general's face pale, and he angrily pointed at Lin Feng.

"How could you do this! How could you slander someone without any evidence!"

Why can't I?

Lin Feng looked at the other person with a strange expression and asked in return, as if it were perfectly natural.

"Do you, and everyone here, have some misunderstanding about 'Wallfacers'? This is part of the plan."

"I……"

The major general wanted to argue something more, but after a long pause, he didn't know how to refute Lin Feng's words. The Wallfacers were inherently eccentric and irrational; they had to do this because they wanted to confuse and deceive the Trisolaran world.

Therefore, for Lin Feng, the newly promoted Wallfacer, to dismiss the major general and imprison him was simply a matter of a word, leaving no room for negotiation.

Because this is part of the plan!

A minute passed quickly, and soon CIA agents arrived armed and swiftly took away the major general whom Lin Feng had captured as an example to deter others.

Lin Feng, just as before, swept his gaze across the crowd with a calm expression.

This time, these human elites didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye; they remained silent, trembling with fear.

"Don't be so nervous, everyone."

"Why was my father's house broken into? It was because the news was leaked."

"Why did it leak? That's because ETO people were mixed in with us."

"However... I think there should still be some."

"I hope the people in the ETO will leave voluntarily, and I promise I won't have anyone arrest you."

Lin Feng's words immediately silenced those who wanted to leave in anger.

Leaving at this point would be tantamount to labeling oneself as an ETO (Employment-Oriented Person).

Regardless of whether they are genuine ETO members or not, no one would choose to leave now.

"It seems no one has left. I'll choose to believe that you are all from non-ETO organizations."

"Actually, when it comes to plans, I do have one..."

Damn it! If you had a plan, why didn't you say so earlier?!

The human elites present cursed inwardly, completely oblivious to the fact that they had just been looking down on others.

"In my opinion, you elites, and my old man, well... to put it more vividly, are all a bunch of idiots."

Observing the disgruntled expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Feng continued, "Don't be dissatisfied yet. This isn't a sign of disrespect; it's just my intuitive feeling."

Chapter 2 This is my plan!

"When will the Trisolaran fleet arrive? Hundreds of years later, such a long time span, and not one of you has thought of making use of this time capital to put humanity in a strategic advantageous position."

"Let me ask you, what is this if not idiots?"

The human elites present looked at each other and whispered among themselves, but none of them understood what Lin Feng meant.

How can we make use of hundreds of years?

How to use it?

Time is something you can't simply take away!

Finally, someone couldn't contain their curiosity and asked Lin Feng, "Mr. Taylor, what do you mean by 'utilization'?"

"Of course, energy storage is crucial. War is about resources, an age-old principle. The Trisolaran fleet has been on a long expedition against us for hundreds of years without any replenishment of resources. In other words, their fleet's energy is conserved, or even constantly being depleted."

"And what about us? We humans possess our own solar system, which naturally provides a vast energy source. By collecting and storing this energy over hundreds of years, we can accumulate an astronomical amount of energy. This is a massive war resource to fight against the Trisolaran fleet."

After he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent for a few seconds. Everyone was stunned by Lin Feng's words.

However, they were not shocked by the brilliance of Lin Feng's idea, but rather by its absurdity.

"Mr. Taylor, I don't mean to belittle you, but I'd like to ask if you ever failed physics in school?"

“Speak like a normal person, or I’ll ask you to have a chat with the CIA.”

Lin Feng gave the person who spoke a forced smile. The other person reorganized their thoughts and asked again.

"I would like to ask you, Mr. Taylor, do you believe that energy is like a robot? That it can be manipulated at will by humans? That it can be stored in a bank like money, where it doesn't deplete when not in use, and can be accessed simply by swiping a credit card?"

Lin Feng nodded. He wasn't surprised to be asked this question; he had already guessed that someone would ask it.

Energy dissipates naturally; there is nothing that can absolutely contain energy. Even extreme celestial bodies like black holes, from which light cannot escape, have evaporation properties.

When it comes to freedom, nothing is freer than energy.

It's like money stored in a bank, which only suffers wear and tear when used—that's something that only happens in fairy tales.

"What's your name?"

"Are you trying to intimidate me? Or are you trying to arrest me too?"

The other party's unfazed retort demonstrated the pride of a scholar.

"No, I just wanted to remember you. I'm so glad that someone finally asked a technical question."

“My name is John Smith, and I work in nuclear physics research.”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Smith. Since you are a physics professional, I would like to ask you: do you think 'ball lightning' is a natural semi-permanent capacitor?"

The ball lightning in the Three-Body Problem, also known as 'macro-electrons', is part of macro-atoms.

It possesses the general characteristics of electrons. After being excited into an excited state by lightning or other sources, the macro-electrons and the matter destroyed by their energy are in a quantum state, and their positions can only be described by probability, forming a probability cloud.

Macroscopically visible, without any physical form, macroelectrons exist as "vacuum bubbles" and can only be observed by refracting visible light. They are visible to the naked eye and become ball lightning when excited into an excited state by lightning or other sources. To put it simply, they are like light bulbs without any physical form, which light up when electricity is applied, and people can feel the light and heat of the bulbs and become aware of their existence.

Once excited, it exists in the form of a wave. After selecting a suitable target, it resonates with the object, realizing the wave-particle duality of matter. The wave only acts on the object that resonates with it, so it will not harm the surrounding objects. In layman's terms, it can convert matter into waves and entities. Electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, and sound waves are all without physical form. Humans can only indirectly perceive their existence through changes in matter.

In other words, it can be understood in a roundabout way as 'nihilating' matter.

Once excited, macro-electrons exist in a quantum state without an observer, and everything about them can only be described by probability. The probability of being excited is very small—they stay still when someone is watching, but run around randomly when no one is watching.

If it were his previous life on Earth, Lin Feng wouldn't be able to guarantee the existence of macroelectrons, but on this Earth in the Trisolaran world, macroelectrons, like gravity, are an objective reality, because the author included them in the book.

Similar to other scientific and technological advancements, after discovering macro-electrons, humanity's first thought was to develop them into weapons, and then consider how to deploy them in actual combat.

By utilizing the property that macro-electrons 'only act on objects that resonate with them', direct strikes can be achieved regardless of physical barriers.

Even if someone hides in an underground nuclear facility or at the Earth's core, the ball lightning weapon can still kill them as long as it has the target's resonance information.

Because ball lightning only interacts with resonant targets.

The reason why matter can 'block' matter is because matter can interact with each other; if they could not interact, any form of 'blocking' would cease to exist.

In humanity's future doomsday battle, the droplet's strong interaction force armor is indestructible, and electromagnetic cannons and gamma rays have no effect whatsoever, but ball lightning can ignore it.

If humanity were to obtain the resonance information inside a water droplet, destroying it in a one-on-one battle with a ball lightning weapon would be as easy as drinking water.

However, humans never talk about martial ethics on the battlefield, and the Trisolarans certainly don't either.

The Trisolarans possess the sophon, a powerful tool that reveals the entire map. By utilizing the characteristic that macro-electrons are 'vulnerable to observation,' any attack in the form of macro-electrons or quantum ghosts cannot pose a threat to the Trisolarans.
