The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

Lin Feng broadcast his location, and then waited for Edith to approach.

Getting a little bored while waiting, Lin Feng asked, "Edith, I'd like to take a look at things on a macroscopic scale. I remember that atomic computers have this capability. How do I operate it?"

Edith instructed, “Connect the main unit to other atomic computers in entangled states, make the sub-computers cluster together more densely, and import their electronic information into the main unit or sub-computers. This way, you can obtain optical information on a macroscopic scale.”

Lin Feng, as the leader of the Taylor system, would naturally be assigned to multiple atomic computers to ensure his chances of survival.

Following Edith's instructions, Lin Feng gathered the extension phones in one area.

Although it is called an aggregation, it is actually like a nebula, with the atomic computers being sparsely distributed and the distance between atoms being very large.

"I can't see anything, it's all blank," Lin Feng said, puzzled.

Edith explained, "By selecting the wavelength, receiving the entire wavelength range results in a blank screen where you can't see anything. But by selecting the visible light wavelength range, you can see things on a macroscopic scale clearly."

After filtering out the visible light band, Lin Feng finally had a macroscopic perspective.

He saw himself surrounded by glowing clouds, the colors of which indicated how much heat they carried.

Lin Feng understood his surroundings; he was now amidst the remnants of the sun's explosion, being swept along into the depths of space.

Lin Feng wanted to try looking at the starry sky, but unfortunately, the nebula of stellar debris was so dense that Lin Feng couldn't see anything outside.

"How do we conduct remote observations across light-years?" Lin Feng asked.

“This requires deploying a larger-scale atomic subsystem; the number of atomic computers is currently insufficient,” Edith replied.

Lin Feng complained, "It's a bit troublesome. Isn't there a more convenient way to operate it? Sophons can directly observe things on a macroscopic scale."

Edith explained, "The sophon can be unfolded in two dimensions, and the area it unfolds can cover the Trisolaran mother planet. The spatial coverage area of ​​the atomic computer cannot be changed, which is something that can't be helped."

“In the past, we could rely on macroscopic observers to serve as the macroscopic eyes of atomic humans, but now the macroscopic scale has been completely destroyed, so we can only use this method. We can go back and ask Davis and his team to develop more convenient functions.”

Edith, who was offering advice to Lin Feng, suddenly remembered something that had happened not long ago and added to Lin Feng, "By the way, Suzumiya just asked me to ask you what the next steps are."

Ryougu had asked this question before, but since the atomization of everyone had not yet been successful, Lin Feng did not continue to tell Ryougugu about his next plan.

Lin Feng replied, "We need to integrate the Trisolarans and humanity, prioritizing sophon technology and light speed curvature as our targets. Atomization alone is far from enough. We need more intelligence and technology. At the same time, we also need to create more entangled atomic computers and spread them throughout the universe."

"As long as we can be ubiquitous and survive in any environment, we will be immune to death except on the day when all things end."

Being in the dark forest, not wanting to compete but unable to escape, besides being a hunter, being air or dust is also a good choice, because no one would think that air or dust is a threat, and even paying too much attention to it would be considered a waste of their precious time.

There is no strategy here.

Because it doesn't exist, there are no enemies; and because there are no enemies, this achieves a different kind of 'invincibility'.

The remaining potential threats are nothing more than the aftermath of the battles between hunters. That's why Lin Feng wants to master sophon technology. With sophon technology, humanity will have an efficient means of detection.

Sophon doesn't necessarily need to obtain precise data about the Hunters; it only needs to know where Sophon's blind spots are and then warn Atomic Humans to stay away.

You can fight however you want, I'll just be a spectator watching the show.

Edith hesitated for a moment, then said, "Not long ago, someone suggested that we could use the stealth of atomic computers to try to steal the science and technology of other alien civilizations."

Lin Feng almost cursed, but he knew this wasn't Edith's idea, so he stopped himself from cursing.

Lin Feng said, "Isn't this courting death? Advanced civilizations must have technology to shield against quantum entanglement. Being captured by an atomic computer, even if it's just a sub-computer, means that its existence has been exposed."

Edith explained, "The proposer thought of this, so he suggested observing low-tech civilizations because there is a technological explosion in the universe, and low-tech civilizations can catch up with and surpass other interstellar civilizations in a short period of time."

Lin Feng said, "Anyway, I'm not optimistic. If we have to do it this way, I suggest we conquer the sophon technology first before considering it. The stealth of the atomic computer is not as good as that of the sophon."

“I will convey it to them,” Edith replied.

Chapter 314 Integration

After the sun exploded, atomized humans were dispersed into the universe by stellar matter at 99.99% the speed of light.

Strictly speaking, such a speed is not considered fast on a cosmic scale. Even the Trisolaran system, which is closest to our solar system, would take four years to reach.

However, from the perspective of atomic humans themselves, this interstellar travel is quite fast.

Even at the atomic scale, length contraction exists. When atoms move at near the speed of light, their time passes more slowly than in a low-speed state. This 'time dilation' effect is not influenced by subjective consciousness, but directly affects the physical level, influencing the increase of matter entropy.

For example, an alpha particle decays into a beta particle after eight minutes. If this alpha particle is accelerated to near the speed of light, it will travel a light-year before decaying into a beta particle. At a low speed scale, a year has passed for the alpha particle, but for the alpha particle itself, only eight minutes have passed.

In this timeline, the atomized humans who detonate the sun to propel themselves soon encounter the nearby atomized Trisolarans.

Although four years have passed on a low-speed scale, only a few minutes have passed in their own time.

With advance notice from the Taylor lineage, two intelligent races that had been enemies for two centuries were united under the same banner.

There are still barriers between them, but the external forces are stronger. The hunters of the dark forest put immense pressure on the survival of the two intelligent species, and in order to survive, they must choose to join forces.

From this stage of encounter and connection, the Trisolarans and the Atomic Humans merged into one, forming the same civilization. After all, their species structure was the same. You could become like me with opaque thinking, and I could become like you with transparent thinking. The rest was simply a matter of personal choice. After this connection was established, the only differences between them were in culture and cognition.

Space is vast, and the smallest distance between atoms is several astronomical units. But the network world is very small. The internet world, built by quantum entanglement, brings people very close together. The physical body is only the mass of an atom, and the distance between people is extremely far.

The social interactions of the Trisolarans and humans were naturally moved to the internet built on quantum entanglement. However, the internet is too close, which will inevitably cause a series of problems.

Civilization cannot exist without a governing government, as that would inevitably lead to great chaos. However, the two races have only recently united and cannot give each other enough trust, so it is impossible for them to implement a system that highly centralizes power in the hands of an individual.

Humans were wary of the Trisolarans as leaders, and then betrayed them when problems arose; the Trisolarans did the same.

Parliamentary system was naturally brought up. Humanity elected five representatives and the Trisolarans elected five representatives. This ten-person parliament formed the highest decision-making body of the government.

The term 'Unified Group' is the abbreviation for this new government; its full name is 'Unified Cooperative Group'.

The reason for not adding a prefix is ​​that if the Trisolarans add a prefix in their language, it would be unacceptable to humans. However, if humans add a prefix in their own language, the Trisolarans would also find it unacceptable. This is to show an attitude that neither side wants to be inferior to the other.

Adding prefixes to both sides creates another vicious cycle: deciding which prefix comes first.

In order to reach a consensus on unification as soon as possible, form a government, and resolve the many political issues between the two races, the council of ten simply called itself the 'Unified Council' without any prefix.

The Taylor lineage was honored to be one of the representatives of the Council of Ten. Although the forced implementation of the Sun Ascension Project incurred the dissatisfaction of almost all humans in the original solar system, the main conflict was concentrated on Lin Feng. With the words "This is all Feng Taylor's order," Lin Feng shouldered most of the responsibility, and the Taylor lineage was not so hostile to other atomized humans.

The remaining representatives are the original Earth Government, the Martian Government, the Space City Federation, and the Space Force. Not much time has passed in the subjective perception of humanity, and these four human political entities still retain their authority due to the inertia of human thinking.

After the new government was established, it listened to Lin Feng's advice and actively planned to develop sophons and light-speed warp spaceships.

Therefore, the following decision is made.

First, stellar system colonization, but this stellar colonization is different from past stellar system colonization because it is based on the premise that it will not be discovered by anyone.

The development of civilization cannot be separated from material resources. To develop light-speed warp drive spaceships and sophons, resources are an unavoidable issue. Neither humans nor the Trisolarans have the ability to create things out of thin air.

The largest mass of matter is naturally found in star systems, where stars are a natural energy source that can accelerate atoms and humans to near the speed of light.

Therefore, colonization is necessary, but there is no strategy that cannot be broken. Breaking it in the dark forest means that the unified entity is no longer 'air' or 'dust', but a dangerous target that may be exposed.

After consulting Lin Feng's advice, the Council of Ten decided that the atomic humans colonizing the star system should focus on hiding themselves and becoming inconspicuous, so that even if they were seen, no one would think that they were life.

How to do it?

Of course, it's about playing the role of 'Iron Atom' well.

Second, expand the base for manufacturing atomic computers, so that each human being can control at least one hundred million atomic computers as sub-computers.

According to the principles of offense and defense, when the state of non-existence is established, the greatest threat to humanity is 'accident'.

What is an accident?

An accident occurs when someone has no ill intentions towards you, or even knows you exist, but still does something that harms you without malicious intent.

To avoid accidents, the first thing to do is to gather intelligence, avoid dangerous people as much as possible, and avoid interstellar battlefields. The ancients of Earth understood this principle long ago, hence the saying "A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall".

So what are the criteria for determining danger?

That's not difficult. We can just see if we can use quantum entangled particles to probe that area. The importance of intelligence in battle is self-evident. The first thing that dangerous advanced civilizations and participants in interstellar battlefields must do is to prevent the leakage of their own intelligence. This is where the blind spot of quantum entanglement comes in.

If there are blind spots, mark them as danger zones. These could be interstellar battlefields, advanced civilization settlements, or places resembling four-dimensional fragments.

If there are no blind spots, it is still an interstellar battlefield, which clearly indicates a relatively low level of technology.

Even if the technology is advanced, it doesn't matter. If you know the attack method in advance, how can you not dodge it from a distance of light-years?

The speed of light is a natural defense!

Destiny lies within the cone of light!

If you're so capable, then come and beat us up at light speed!

Chapter 315 Someone Above Us

However, the sophon technology is currently only a semi-finished product. The old Trisolaran regime took away the core technologies of the civilization, so the new Trisolaran regime only has the incomplete sophon technology.

Therefore, intelligence gathering can only be entrusted to atomic computers, while incidentally improving the survivability of atomic humans. The more entangled atomic computers there are, the lower the probability of network-type atomic humans dying from physical attacks.

These quantum-entangled atomic computers are scattered throughout the universe. Apart from methods like information attacks, destroying network-type atomic humans would probably require an attack on the entire universe.

Third, there is no strategy for further expansion. So far, the only successful approaches are microscopication and inanimate object camouflage. Transparency has not been achieved, and atoms can still be observed.

Quantumization also failed; humans have not found a way to change the internal structure of macroatoms, which means that humans cannot transform macroatoms into computers in the same way they would have done with atomic computers.

After merging with the new Trisolaran regime, humanity learned that there are differences between macroatoms, just as there are differences between iron atoms and hydrogen atoms. The macrocosm contains not only macroatoms and macroelectrons, but also macroneutrons, macroquarks, macroneutrinos, and so on. However, the physical properties of these macroparticles are not quite the same as those of ordinary particles, so they cannot be copied directly and require time to explore them step by step.

……

“Feng Taylor, you bastard! Why don’t you xxx! I’ll xxx you to death! You’re the worst person in the world!…”

"Report user".

Lin Feng calmly submitted evidence of the insults to the management, and the entangled network system quickly processed it.

"The report is valid; you will be banned from speaking for ten days."

In the past, being silenced wasn't a very serious punishment, but things are different now. Human social interaction has moved to the internet, which means that once someone is silenced, their social network is essentially cut off.

Being isolated from the human world for ten days is unbearable to even think about; it's almost like being locked up in solitary confinement.

Indeed, some people take advantage of the length contraction effect, deliberately slowing down their speed. One second for Lin Feng is equivalent to a day for the other person.

However, they themselves do have to go through ten days, which cannot be reduced. At most, this method can only make other people in the social network feel that the person has not been banned for long.

That alone wouldn't be a big deal, but after considering another overlapping factor, everyone learned their lesson.

For each violation, the number of days of the ban will increase. A ten-day ban is the first offense, the next one will be one hundred days, the next one will be one thousand days, and so on.

"Sigh, there are always some people who just won't change their ways..."

Lin Feng sighed softly, even though he no longer had a mouth.

He had experienced similar harassment and insults more than once, and he could understand these people.
