The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

“I would like more time, but it’s not possible. Not even a year, let alone five years,” Wade said.

Wade paused for a moment, then continued, "After today, you, Cheng Xin, will be the new head of the light speed warp spaceship research project."

Cheng Xin blinked, and then her eyes widened in surprise.

Her loss of composure was not without reason; her taking charge of the project meant that Wade would be leaving the project, which contained a lot of information.

"And what about you?" Cheng Xin asked anxiously.

Although in Cheng Xin's mind, Wade was a bastard and a scumbag, she would feel pressure just by making eye contact with him.

But this was someone she knew, and whose abilities were undeniable. If they were being maliciously retaliated against or suppressed, she wondered if she could offer any help.

“I’ve received another assignment,” Wade said.

Cheng Xin frowned and asked, "Can't someone else do it?"

Wade shook his head. "That mission is more important than the current light-speed warp spaceship. I am honored that my abilities have been recognized by a big shot, who specifically requested that I be the one to complete it."

"So, this counts as a promotion?" Cheng Xin asked.

Wade smiled and said, "Pretty much. If all goes well, I will be the center of attention."

Congratulations.

Wade raised his eyebrows again; Cheng Xin's sincere congratulations were something he hadn't expected.

"Thank you."

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Xin asked, "Is there anything else I should be aware of?"

Wade said, "Although I have left and the Taylor system's focus is no longer on this, the research on light-speed warp spaceships is still very important. I have a feeling that this is the case, so please make sure this research project succeeds."

"I will."

After briefly explaining the research project, Cheng Xin turned and left.

Watching Cheng Xin leave his office, Wade lit another cigarette and recalled what had happened two days ago.

Chapter 309 Advancing by Any Means

"This task is entrusted to you, Vader."

Wade glanced at the mission details and, even he felt the mission was insane.

"Is it really necessary to go to such extremes?" Wade couldn't help but ask.

Lin Feng said, "The current conventional wisdom is that the Hessian strike was launched from within a star system, but what if the Hessian strike was launched from a spaceship? You should be familiar with the example of antimatter bombs. At close range, close to the speed of light, how much reaction time do you think humans would have?"

Wade nodded. Given his ruthless nature, he wouldn't hesitate to become a heartless executioner.

What should I do about the project I'm working on? Should I terminate it?

Lin Feng shook his head. "Don't stop. You can hand it over to someone you trust to continue the research."

"I understand."

After thinking for a moment, Wade asked again, "One last question, why do you think I am capable of this task?"

"Because you dared to sell your own mother into a brothel, is there any other problem?"

Lin Feng smiled at Wade, a very friendly smile, but Wade didn't feel any friendliness. He felt that he had been seen through, that all the secrets in his heart had been laid bare before this Wallfacer.

"Nothing."

Wade, snapping out of his reverie, waved his hand to open a virtual pop-up window and looked at the mission details inside.

In his daze, he seemed to see the man who had assigned him the task slamming his fist on the table and shouting hysterically.

Forward! Forward! For the continuation of humanity, advance by any means necessary!

……

Neptune's orbit, the burial ground for all the fallen heroes of the Taylor system over the past two centuries, is slowly shifting into Neptune's shadowed side.

Lin Feng stood in the middle of the group of tombstones, gazing at the people buried here, and asked the people around him questions.

How long will it take to complete the track change?

"It will take a few more days," the manager of the space graveyard replied respectfully.

Lin Feng nodded. This timeframe wasn't too long; they could evade the enemy before the operation began.

Lin Feng said, "Let's keep this place on the dark side of Neptune, so it doesn't get exposed to the sun, and the heroes can't stand the sun."

The manager of the space graveyard frowned in deep thought. He didn't know what the Taylor Group was up to; the higher-ups had kept the news tightly under wraps. He was just following Lin Feng's orders.

But he wasn't stupid; Lin Feng's previous words had given him very bad ideas.

"...Is that plan about to begin?" the manager of the space graveyard murmured.

The Sunrise Project, now largely forgotten, was too outrageous for most people to accept.

If it were the very beginning, it wouldn't be a problem, because people were shrouded in fear of the coordinate broadcasts at that time.

But right now, with atomization, the Ark Project, and the Civilization Deception Project all around, humanity has many options for survival, so the Sunrise Project has been forgotten, and hardly anyone even mentions it anymore.

However, the current situation clearly indicates that this plan is about to be implemented.

The manager of the space graveyard, who had guessed the actions of the Taylor Group's high command, rushed forward in terror, grabbed Lin Feng's clothes, and questioned him excitedly.

"How can this be?! Mr. Taylor, what are you thinking? There are so many people in the solar system who haven't been atomized. If we force it, many people will die, and Earth will cease to exist!"

The guards responsible for Lin Feng's safety immediately stepped forward and separated the two.

"Pengde! Don't forget who you are! Think carefully about where you are!" a guard shouted at the manager of the space graveyard, while blocking the two men with his body.

The manager of the space graveyard struggled while being restrained by the guards, his gaze passing over the guard standing between the two of them, and continued to question Lin Feng.

"So many people have to be sacrificed for a plan? Why? We have other options!"

Lin Feng looked at the gradually calming supervisor of the space graveyard and explained, "No, as long as they still have the will to live, no one will die. Otherwise, why do you think I would do this? Wouldn't it be easier to abandon those stubborn people and run into space?"

"I'm staying here to save everyone."

Watching the manager of the space cemetery being led away by the guards, Lin Feng sighed softly and brushed the dust off the tombstone beside him.

"My old friends, you've really put me through a lot."

Lin Feng couldn't abandon the people of the solar system and leave on his own; that would be letting down the heroes who had believed he could save humanity over the past two centuries and were willing to give their lives for it.

In order to save everyone, to save humanity now and in the future, a strategy that doesn't exist will be formulated, atomization technology will be developed, and the plan for the sun to rise into the sky will be devised.

Now, the die is cast.

When the star that has illuminated Earth for over four billion years explodes, humanity will die, but it will also be reborn, transforming from humble beasts into human beings.

"I don't know when we'll meet again after this parting."

Recalling the events of the two centuries, Lin Feng was filled with emotion.

Just as Lin Feng was immersed in his memories, a pleasant female voice drifted over from afar.

"Just a passerby!"

The girl waved to Lin Feng from afar.

"The Melancholy of Haruhi?"

Lin Feng looked over there and saw that, along with Liang Gong and Edith, was Luo Ji, whom he hadn't seen for several years.

"Luo Ji, long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Lin Feng approached and greeted Luo Ji, and the two walked side by side among the tombstones.

Luo Ji said, "It's alright. After the gravitational wave broadcast system sent out the coordinates, people were terrified. They assigned me the position of curator of the Earth Civilization Museum. That museum houses all the traces of human civilization, to prove to the universe that humans once existed in the universe."

Lin Feng said, "If you ask me, don't build any museums, and don't care what others say. Just launch all those things into the black hole. As long as you use the length contraction effect of the black hole to compress time, any fragile thing can be preserved until the heat death of the universe."

Luo Ji waved his hand and refused, saying, "If later generations cannot appreciate and understand these things left by human civilization, then no matter how long the traces are preserved, they are as worthless as roadside stones."

"That's a real shame. The Black Forest attack is devastating; nothing will be left behind," Lin Feng said.

Luo Ji was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Liang Gong behind the two of them, asking a question in a seeking manner.

"Really?"

Why would I lie to you?

Lin Feng shrugged. He knew Luo Ji had misunderstood that he had gotten some inside information from Liang Gong, but he was too lazy to explain, since the matter of the two-dimensional foil was true.

Lin Feng suddenly thought of another Wallfacer and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, how's Hines doing?"

Luo Ji recalled, "He's doing better than me. I recently heard that he got back together with his ex-wife, who was a 'wall-breaking' woman, and he can't stop smiling."

"But when do you plan to let go?" Luo Ji asked.

Lin Feng's gaze fell on the tall tombstone of Regiaz, and he replied, "Letting go is impossible, I can never let go in this lifetime. To throw away the burden that my old friends are willing to risk their lives to carry would go against my principles. I'll just live a simple life like this for now."

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at Luo Ji again, asking seriously, "Luo Ji, do you plan to atomize, or stay?"

Luo Ji gave a bitter smile. "Did I have a choice? As a man, I can't abandon them."

Chapter 310 We were ordered to blow up the sun

An engineering vessel slowly sailed toward the sun. After passing Venus's orbit, this Taylor-class engineering vessel received a quantum message from the Space Force patrol fleet.

"Calling for assistance from the approaching spacecraft. Please identify yourselves immediately."

Since the hawks planned to destroy the blockade satellites in the Sun's orbit, the Space Force has had an additional daily task: to establish a military alert zone between the orbits of Mercury and Venus to prevent anyone from using the Sun again to do things that could harm all of humanity in the solar system.

"This ship is the Taylor-class engineering vessel Longmen. We have received an emergency maintenance notice from the SCC. The antimatter facility control system of UW3324YO has malfunctioned. We are now preparing to proceed to the A1-class orbit for maintenance."

The captain of the engineering vessel stood on the bridge, methodically relaying routine messages to the patrol fleet guarding the sun.

The SCC is the Solar System Antimatter Control Committee, and it is naturally impossible for anyone to doubt the emergency repair notices for antimatter facilities issued by them.

But those around the captain were still sweating bullets.

In the past, such routine responses didn't put any psychological pressure on them; it was just like clocking in at work. But now it's different because this time they really have something to hide.

It's the same principle as when a thief encounters a policeman; they'll both have some doubts.

"Report the mission number; we need to verify the mission details," the Space Force patrol fleet reported.
