The implication was clear: this was all part of the plan. Had they all forgotten my identity as a Wallfacer? My concealment was the only right thing to do.

The Martian government representative countered sharply, saying, "Mr. Taylor, these are extraordinary times. Humanity should unite and stand together. Such concealment is an outrageous act."

Lin Feng replied dismissively, "The Black Forest attack is coming, and humanity doesn't have much time. As the leaders of civilization, you should know how to act in a way that is most responsible for civilization, instead of acting on your conscience. Kindness and love are worthless in this universe."

Just as an argument was about to break out, the rotating chairman intervened and smoothed things over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stop for a moment. There is no need to argue about this issue of opinion. Everyone has their own position that must be upheld. Arguing about this is just a waste of time. Can we talk about something more important?"

The attendees raised their eyebrows and reached a silent consensus. As the rotating chairperson had said, there was no need to waste time on pointless arguments. Persuading a stubborn person with different values ​​was more difficult than killing them.

Lin Feng spoke first, "I propose that the Bunker Project and the Mobile City Cluster Project be abolished. One of these projects is too large a target and would expose the existence of humanity, while the other, although it has left the solar system, is still too slow and would also expose the existence of humanity."

"No one knows what kind of attack methods a civilization with more advanced technology than the Trisolaran civilization possesses. Exposing the existence of human civilization in any form is an extremely dangerous act. It would be one thing if the participants in these two projects were destroyed, but if it involves humans in other projects and causes everyone to be attacked, the human race will face extinction."

Lin Feng's words drew nods of agreement from some people. Many of the high-ranking human leaders present were deeply influenced by the offensive and defensive principles and the concept of non-existence that Lin Feng had proposed, and had long been dissatisfied with these two plans.

Therefore, when the Taylor faction chose to suppress the government, they did a lot of effort to help suppress it. Now, these two plans have been completely marginalized, and they have not received any resources. It is as if they were not implemented at all.

Now that Lin Feng has said he will abolish these two plans, there is no one in the human leadership who would object.

The Space Force representative said, "These two plans have never been well-received from the beginning. They have only survived to this day because of the persistence of some people. On behalf of the Space Force, I agree with the Taylor Group's proposal."

“On behalf of the Martian government, I agree to the Taylor group’s proposal.”

……

During the conversation, the representative of the Earth government asked Lin Linfeng a question, "I would like to confirm something with Mr. Taylor, do you still want to blow up the sun?"

In an instant, all eyes of the attendees turned to Lin Feng.

Humanity's obsession with the sun is the same as its obsession with the earth; it's difficult to gain everyone's approval for the idea of ​​blowing up the sun.

Moreover, given the current situation, it's really hard to see any necessity for it.

"Is there a problem?" Lin Feng asked in return.

The Space Force representative replied, "Atomized humans can escape into space at near the speed of light even without detonating the sun."

Lin Feng said, "Detonating the sun is the safest approach. I don't know how advanced the technology of those civilizations in the universe has reached, so I can only plan to do my best. The stellar debris after the explosion will also move outward at near the speed of light, which can provide cover for atomized humans."

The Earth government representative said, "I think there is still room for discussion regarding the matter of detonating the sun. After all, it is the star that gave birth to humanity. Without it, human civilization would not exist."

Although the Earth government representatives were willing to have a proper talk and perhaps revise the Sun Ascension Plan, Lin Feng wasn't keen on continuing the discussion.

Lin Feng said, "Even if humans don't detonate it, it will be detonated by other civilizations, just like the 187j3x1 star that Luo Ji broadcasted, and humans cannot stop it."

"..."

Humanity could not stop it. With just one sentence, the Earth government representative was completely shut down. Only then did the attendees realize that even if they did not destroy the sun, it would be destroyed anyway, because the coordinates had been broadcast and the attack was inevitable.

The only difference is whether the destruction is at the hands of humans or at the hands of extraterrestrial civilizations.

In the latter half of the meeting, Lin Feng addressed the high-ranking human leaders.

"I'll leave the issue of public opinion to you. Just don't let those people criticize our Taylor Group too harshly. My good temper doesn't mean the entire Taylor Group is good-tempered. Nobody wants to see some hot-tempered people do irrational things, and we don't have that much time to waste on meaningless arguments."

"Once human civilization is truly safe, there will be plenty of time for you to argue."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng added, "By the way, there's also the matter with the new Trisolaran regime. Regarding the establishment of diplomatic relations between you and them, it can only be carried out after all of human civilization has been atomized. This is a diplomatic condition that they have clearly put forward."

"Therefore, before everyone is atomized, please do not disturb them now and affect this hard-won friendship."

The Earth representative pressed further, "In your plan, where will humanity and the Trisolarans go? Will they merge into humanity, or will humanity join the Trisolarans?"

Lin Feng once again became the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone wanted to know what Lin Feng's real intentions were. In the past, they thought Lin Feng was a dove, but later he chose to suppress the doves, which led to the rise of the hawks.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and asked in return, "How can methane and liquid hydrogen be combined into one?"

"The fairest way is to burn everything. Once everything turns into water, it will naturally become one. Liquid hydrogen will no longer be liquid hydrogen, and methane will no longer be methane. By giving up a part of each other, we can achieve physical unity."

Five years after this meeting, using physical data transmitted from the Trisolaran home planet, at Research Institute 277 at the Taylor System headquarters, microscopic humans used their own microscopic properties to modify iron atoms, and humanity completed the first single-atom computer.

This heralds humanity's entry into the atomization age, where each human being can be shrunk to the size of a single iron atom.

Chapter 300 A New Era

The day after completing the Atomic Human Research Project at Laboratory 277, Lin Feng made a special trip to Laboratory 277, accompanied by Edith, Liang Gong, Davis, Ding Yi, and other core members of the Taylor Group.

The completion of atomic humans means that humanity can be atomized, which is of great historical significance.

"Mr. Taylor and other leaders, welcome to Laboratory 277."

The people from Laboratory 277 were waiting at the entrance early to welcome everyone. The director, Flandre, warmly stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled and went straight to the point, "No need to be too formal. I don't care about that. We're here to see your research results."

"Hehe, this way please, we'll show you right away."

As they spoke, the people from Laboratory 277 made way and led the group on a tour of Laboratory 277.

The group arrived in front of a cube made of glass, just like the container Lin Feng had used when he visited the nanohumans. But this time it was different; there was no liquid inside the container, nor was anything else placed there.

Then, the director had everyone stop where they were, carefully placed a one-cubic-centimeter piece of copper into the container, and then used a quantum communicator to contact the microscopic atomic humans.

A miraculous scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

A cubic centimeter of copper was glowing, and the light was quite dazzling, somewhat like a welding torch, making it impossible to look directly at it.

After the light dimmed, the one-cubic-centimeter copper block was no longer visible in the container; only a pool of molten copper remained.

"What did they do?" a core member asked, quite surprised.

He didn't see any energy transfer and couldn't understand why the copper block in the container suddenly had so much heat and was melted into molten copper.

He could only guess that it was related to atomized humans, but he couldn't figure out how the other party had done it.

The director explained, "By colliding with freely moving particles in the air, it changes its own momentum and finally collides with the target at high speed. The excessive momentum causes a positron in the quantum sea to change from the ground state to the excited state. At the moment of its appearance, this positron annihilates with a negative charge of an iron atom to form a pair of photons. A large number of atoms collide with the target at the microscopic level. The temperature of the matter-antimatter annihilation continues to accumulate, eventually completely melting the metal."

"This is a massive undertaking for them, comparable to us building a Dyson sphere for the sun. They did this so that everyone could intuitively understand their power with the naked eye. In a war, such a complicated process wouldn't be necessary."

"Even the most advanced spaceships are still operated by humans, and the core of a human is the fragile brain. Atomic Man only needs to enter the spaceship and use his ability to interfere with matter to easily defeat the enemy."

After hearing the director's explanation, Edith asked in surprise, "Is it really that serious that it's just a bunch of iron atoms? Why not just surround the spaceship with a strong magnetic field? Like using an electromagnet or something."

The director quickly shook his head and said, “No, no, no, Ms. Edith, you are completely wrong. It is true that the Atomic Man is an iron atom and has the physical and chemical properties that an iron atom should have, but don’t forget that quantum tunneling exists at the microscopic quantum level. Moreover, the Atomic Man is an intelligent life form with subjective initiative, which is different from ordinary iron atoms. They can actively accelerate themselves to increase the probability of quantum tunneling with high potential energy.”

One of the core members said, "It seems that spaceships will become obsolete relics."

Yes, old relics, just like cold weapons being replaced by firearms, have faded from the stage of history.

Traditional high-energy weapons such as electromagnetic railguns and lasers pose no threat to atomic humans because they are too small to be detected.

These atomic humans could openly deploy their battle lines right under the noses of macroscopic humans without being detected.

Davis said with some melancholy, "The Space Force will be very happy. The change in the rules of war means that the Taylor Group's industrial capabilities will account for a smaller proportion in the military sphere, and they can close the gap between us."

Other human political entities have always wanted to outdo the Taylorist faction.

Their reason for doing this was naturally because of Lin Feng's dictatorial power over the Taylor Group.

Such a power structure is too unstable; Lin Feng could easily launch a war based solely on his own selfish desires.

The key issue is that Lin Feng is a dangerous figure in their eyes. If this were Earth two centuries ago, he would be the kind of leader who would treat dropping nuclear bombs as casually as eating and drinking.

Therefore, all major human political entities hope to gain an advantage over the Taylor system in order to make themselves feel more secure.

Lin Feng noticed Davis's unusual expression and then said, "The Taylor system doesn't need to worry about the gains and losses of this. We should focus our attention on things beyond human civilization. Those hidden gods and ghosts in the universe are the most difficult problems to deal with."

Davis was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked Director Flander, "By the way, what exactly is the structure of the Atomic Man? Did you unfold iron atoms into two dimensions?"

To transform atoms into computers, according to Lin Feng's understanding, shouldn't they at least be expanded into two dimensions?

Otherwise, how can you etch integrated circuits onto it?

However, during the atomization research at Laboratory No. 277, Lin Feng did not observe any phenomena resulting from the two-dimensionalization of atoms.

It's important to understand that when the Trisolaran civilization unfolded a proton into two dimensions, its area would encompass the entire Trisolaran homeworld. No matter how small an iron atom is, it's still dozens of times larger than a proton.

However, Lin Feng did not see any planar unfolding or hear of such things, which aroused his curiosity.

Director Flander explained, “The Trisolarans only unfolded a single proton, which enveloped the entire Trisolaran home planet. If we choose to unfold an iron atom in two dimensions, it means that 26 protons and 30 neutrons will be unfolded in two dimensions. We don’t know how large the area of ​​the neutron in two dimensions is, but if it is equal to that of the proton, it would be 56 times the area of ​​the proton in two dimensions in the Trisolarans.”

"Not to mention that we did not obtain the technology from The Three-Body Problem to fold the two-dimensional particles back into three dimensions, the sheer scale of the project is beyond human capability. The miniaturization of atoms requires a large number of atoms capable of carrying human thought, rather than a small number of single-atom supercomputers."

"So when we first conceived of the single-atom computer, we rejected the proposal to deliver the Trisolaran mother planet to our technology team and instead used other methods."

The new Trisolaran regime is only a small part of the Trisolaran civilization. The truly core elements were taken away by the original regime during the Great Civilization Transfer.

Therefore, the fact that the technology was not fully provided was not because the new Trisolaran regime was deliberately making things difficult for the Taylor lineage.

In this regard, Director Flander was also quite helpless. After all, they couldn't spend a lot of time studying how to refold particles that had been unfolded in two dimensions. Humans simply didn't have such a theoretical basis; it was completely unfamiliar to them.

The Hessian Strike will not wait for humanity; they must complete their atomization research as soon as possible.

Chapter 301 Making a living through quantum entanglement

"In what way?" Lin Feng asked.

"The spin properties and vibrations of subatomic particles," Flanders said.

"Huh? Rotation?"

Lin Feng was taken aback. He didn't understand; he was completely illiterate in this area.

Flander corrected, “No, it’s not rotation, it’s spin, and that has little to do with momentum… Hmm, you know Journey to the West, right? I remember that in your time, this book had already spread all over the world.”

Frodo, who gave the example, asked Lin Feng a question in return, and Lin Feng nodded.

"know."

Frondo explained, “In Journey to the West, there is a monkey who once destroyed the heavens. It has a wonderful ability called ‘72 Transformations’, which allows it to transform into all sorts of things, whether they are animals, plants, inanimate objects, or even a house.”

"The spin of a particle is very similar to that monkey. The particle constantly transforms into other things. It was a square just now, and now it has become a sphere, and then a triangular pyramid. After a period of regular changes, it returns to the state it was initially observed to be. This process is called spin."

“We utilize the physical properties of quark spin and their natural vibrations to design simple computing units. Each proton and neutron is a computing unit, and they are connected to each other through the strong and weak interaction forces to form a computer.”

Lin Feng nodded, understanding only a little. Although he didn't quite grasp the details, he understood the general principle.

"Only protons and neutrons?" Davis asked curiously.

Frando explained, "Extranuclear electrons are also part of the single-atom computer, but they are not very important because extranuclear electrons are too easy to become free electrons. If you give an iron atom enough heat, the iron atom will lose all its electrons. This is too unreliable. If electrons occupy an important part of the single-atom computer, the atom man will easily die."
