However, this matter is quite complex. The main issue is that the higher-ups of the unified entity cannot understand the cause of this unknown faster-than-light force. Is it a contingency plan by the civilization born from the star uw66970hm? Or is a new galaxy-level extraterrestrial force intervening in the Milky Way? Or is it some kind of universal natural mechanism that the unified entity has never encountered before?

Since they were still unclear about the situation, the Council of Ten decided to wait and see, while simultaneously activating the light-speed curvature planets secretly being built in the Milky Way to escape to the outside of the Milky Way at the speed of light.

These light-speed curvature planets are escaping out of the Milky Way in different directions, like fish that have foreseen danger diving into a deep pool.

Although the Atomic People no longer need to obtain the material resources necessary for survival from these planets, scientific research still requires a material foundation. Technological development is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. If the Unified Body wants to survive in the universe, it cannot allow technological development to stop, especially now that it is developing faster-than-light technology.

In the future, the Atomic Humans will inevitably venture into other galaxies in the universe again. Faster-than-light technology is not only a trump card in battle, but also a trump card for survival.

However, the representatives had some disagreements regarding the research on faster-than-light travel.

"So much time has passed, and there has been no progress at all in Planck miniaturization. The current situation is not optimistic. We should shift our focus to the research project on high-energy wormhole generation," suggested the representative of the Space City Federation.

The emergence of a second unknown faster-than-light force in the Milky Way has greatly heightened the sense of crisis among the representatives of the Council of Ten. If this is the beginning of a clash between two galactic superpowers, it will raise a series of questions, such as: How intense will the war be? How wide will its impact be? Will its influence also spread faster than the speed of light? To what extent will it be dangerous?

Driven by this strong sense of crisis, some representatives in the Council of Ten are eager for the Unified Body to master a faster-than-light technology that could save lives in the event of a crisis.

The Martian government representative agreed, saying, "We agree. To process something on a scale 26 times smaller than the current atomic beings is far more difficult than we initially imagined. High-energy wormhole technology is, at least for now, a completely feasible technology."

Subsequently, the Space Force representative also expressed their approval of the idea, followed by the Earth Government representative.

Ryougu expressed her firm opposition: "I disagree. At this critical juncture, to propose switching to high-energy wormhole research? Wouldn't that mean all the resources and time invested so far have been wasted?"

The Earth government representative explained, "Those wastes are valuable; at least we understand that the current technology of the unified entity is insufficient to achieve miniaturization at the Planck scale."

“I object,” said Davis, representing the Taylor faction. “We have not conducted in-depth research on high-energy wormholes and are very unfamiliar with this technology. Even if we switch to research on the generation of high-energy wormholes now, we will not be able to get results quickly. Instead, it will be a waste of time and resources.”

The Space Force representative replied, "We can observe the wormhole of that galactic overlord civilization in the Milky Way more often. They will teach us how to create high-energy wormholes step by step."

Subsequently, the other representatives of the human government echoed this sentiment. Seeing this, Davis knew that he could not persuade these representatives, so he replied, "Planck's miniaturization is Mr. Taylor's decision. If you are capable, you can try to persuade him."

The Martian government representative snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied. "Hmph! Feng Taylor isn't a member of the Council of Ten, nor does he hold any governmental authority. When have council resolutions ever required his approval?"

"But we in the Taylor Group all listen to him."

Davis's simple reply left the Martian government representative speechless.

"you……!"

Seeing that their argument was escalating into a full-blown fight, the Earth government representative stepped in to smooth things over.

"Don't argue, arguing will only waste time. We should communicate with Mr. Taylor immediately. The decision of the council cannot be delayed."

No one objected to calling Feng Taylor over.

After receiving the notification, Lin Feng connected to the Council of Ten's communication platform, smiled and greeted Liang Gong and Davis, and began to understand the content of the meeting and the matters being discussed. Then, his virtual body spoke.

“I think what you all said makes sense, so of course it will be…” Lin Feng paused, “…as originally planned.”

The human government representatives who had just assumed that Lin Feng shared their views suddenly felt insulted.

The Earth government representative maintained basic politeness, asking a somewhat surprised question in return.

“Mr. Taylor, don’t you understand what we’re discussing? Planck miniaturization is not a technology we can currently master. If we switch to high-energy wormhole generation technology, there are ready-made samples in the Milky Way for reference, and the consortium can quickly develop this technology.”

"How do you know you can quickly crack the high-energy wormhole generation technology? We are completely unfamiliar with high-energy wormhole generation technology because we have never studied it. How do you know you can quickly overcome it?" Lin Feng asked in return.

“That’s because there are readily available observational samples in the Milky Way,” the Earth government representative replied.

Lin Feng then asked, "So, after the apocalyptic war, the Trisolaran droplet or strong interaction material was created very quickly? Sophons were known to exist by humans as early as the pre-Christian era, and they were created very quickly?"

"Uh……"

The Earth government representative was speechless.

The virtual representation of the Martian government laughed sarcastically and took over the conversation.

"Hehehe, you really like sophistry. Back then, the reason we couldn't quickly develop the results was precisely because the Sophon kept interfering with human scientific research. It wasn't until the solar system broadcast the news that this interference in scientific research finally ended."

“We’ve strayed from the topic. Please get back to the main point of the meeting,” a representative from the Trisolaran side said, stopping the argument between the two.

Now that humanity and the Trisolarans are on the same side, it's really not good to bring up these old stories. After all, the two sides were on opposing sides back then, and each side felt that the other was wrong.

Returning to the main topic, Lin Feng was too lazy to argue any further and stated bluntly, "Anyway, I don't agree with you interrupting the Planck microscopic research. I don't object to the research on high-energy wormhole generation, but the Planck microscopic research must not stop. Once I've made up my mind to do something, I won't change it."

Chapter 360 Don't Tell Such a Clumsy Lie

“Mr. Taylor, I must remind you that the Unified Body is not just your Taylor faction. Your shameless behavior will not solve any problems,” the Space Force representative said.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. The Space Force representative meant that, apart from the Taylor system, no one else on the human side would provide support.

Lin Feng turned to look at Liang Gong in the Trisolaran's territory, "Will the Trisolarans listen to me?"

"I will listen. Those Trisolarans who believe in me will firmly support you," Ryoumi replied without hesitation.

One of the representatives from the Three-Body camp pointed out with dissatisfaction, "1314, your hasty choice lacks rational consideration."

Liang Gong glanced indifferently at the other Trisolaran representatives and replied, "You can make your own choices. I only represent those Trisolarans who are willing to believe in me."

Unlike Liang Gong, the other Trisolaran representatives did not regard Lin Feng as very important. They only used Lin Feng's words as a reference for their judgment.

However, the situation is different for the Trisolarans and humans. The Trisolarans used to be a highly centralized social structure. Although they are no longer as dictatorial as the old regime and have divided some power, the inertia of people's hearts still spontaneously shows their centralized attributes. If Liang Gong said he supported Lin Feng, then most Trisolarans would definitely choose to support Lin Feng. That's for sure.

This made the other Trisolaran representatives feel uncomfortable. They thought that Liang Gong was being too reckless and focusing too much on Lin Feng. They should have considered the survival of the Trisolarans more.

"How can you guarantee that your choice is correct?" a representative of the Trisolarans asked.

"Is the reason that the person who made the choice was Feng Taylor enough?" Liang Gong's gaze swept over the three representatives of Trisolaris.

Having outmaneuvered the Wallfacers of the Trisolaran civilization for two centuries, and actually succeeded in suppressing the Trisolaran civilization, forcing them to make compromises, this achievement is undoubtedly sufficient to justify their actions.

The Three-Body representatives agreed with Haruhi's answer, but they still wanted to know what Lin Feng was planning to do.

“Mr. Taylor, we would like to hear your reasons for insisting,” said a representative of the Trisolarans.

Lin Feng said, "My reason is very simple: to fight against God and allow humanity and the Trisolarans to live longer and see more in this malevolent universe."

Lin Feng revealed his purpose: the limitations of high-energy wormhole generation technology were too obvious, and completing the Planck miniaturization as soon as possible was undoubtedly the safest option.

Don't talk to him about the Milky Way or anything like that, as if the rest of the Milky Way isn't dangerous.

Is there only one galactic overlord civilization in the vast universe? Couldn't this civilization, which has lived for so many years, hide itself like the unified entity?

The more I think about it, the more dangerous it seems, especially now that a second faster-than-light force has appeared in the Milky Way, which means that faster-than-light travel is a common occurrence in the universe.

Even though they exceeded the speed of light, the universe was ultimately destroyed by interstellar war, which shows just how extreme the weapons of these advanced civilizations are.

Atomization and the principles of offense and defense seem insufficient. In addition to the microcosm technology in the original work, Planck's microscopic transformation is the most ideal means of survival. Combined with the transfer of host data of particles, if I can't win, I can instantly run from one galaxy to another, or even directly to the end of the universe.

"god?"

Apart from Liang Gong, all the representatives were stunned, none of them expected to hear this word from Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said solemnly, "Yes, that god's surname is Liu. He orchestrated everything, including the Dark Forest, the dimensional reduction of the universe, the countless civilizations killing each other with malice, the murder of Ye Wenjie's father, Ye Wenjie entering the Red Coast Base, and then accidentally discovering that the sun can broadcast. She then used the sun to transmit radio waves with stellar power, which was first received by eavesdropper 1379, who sent a warning that was repeated three times. That person is the culprit behind everything."

The representative of the Space City Federation spoke, looking like he wanted to laugh but was desperately trying to hold it in.

"It sounds like a myth. You finally couldn't bear the excessive expectations people had of you and went completely insane? We can contact a doctor for you right now."

Lin Feng glared at the other person, "Shut up! I've been facing the wall for so many years, and today I'm finally speaking the truth. And you're interrupting me? You little brat, don't you know how to respect your elders!"

Needless to say, the representatives of the Space City Federation were quite angry. One of the Trisolaran representatives asked, "You just said that you wanted to fight against God, but then you said that it was a person. So, is it a person or a god?"

Lin Feng calmly replied, "He is both a human and a god. Relativity explains the relativity of speed, but besides speed, many things are relative, such as temperature and time. When that person is relative to us, he is a god, an omnipotent god."

"What evidence do you have to prove his existence?" another Trisolaran representative asked.

This question stumped Lin Feng. He frowned and fell into deep thought, as there seemed to be no direct evidence to prove the existence of that 'god'.

Lin Feng himself knew perfectly well that 'God' existed, because he had the memory of having read the original work, but others did not.

Does he have to show these people these memories?

Don't be silly. They'll just say it's an edited memory. Besides, he doesn't like people seeing such private things about him.

This is like not wanting someone to rummage through the 512GB of torrents on your computer's hard drive.

"...There is no evidence," Lin Feng said, shrugging.

The Trisolaran representative said, "Then I'm sorry, we can't believe your lie, which sounds so fake. If you want us to believe you, please tell some more believable lies, otherwise we won't be fooled."

"..."

But I'm telling the absolute truth!

Lin Feng thought to himself, but replied, "Fine, I admit it. I was lying just now to lighten the serious atmosphere of the meeting. To be honest, after so many years of recuperation, it's a little strange to suddenly be back in a serious setting to make decisions."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the representatives looked at him with relief, their expressions conveying a sense of 'I knew it, your lie was too clumsy.'

"As for why I insist on the Planck microscopic research project, it's naturally because not telling you is also part of my plan. Now it's your turn to answer me: do you want to support me?" Lin Feng asked the Trisolaran representative again.

After much hesitation, the Three-Body representatives glanced at Liang Gong and then gave Lin Feng their reply.

"support."

Lin Feng smiled slightly, "Very good, the minority shall obey the majority, the original research direction shall remain unchanged."

"Feng Taylor, the unified entity will one day fall victim to your arrogance." The representative of the Space City Federation said to Lin Feng with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"People are always good at seeing others clearly, but not good at seeing themselves clearly, aren't they?" Lin Feng said with amusement as he glanced at the representatives of several human governments.

Lin Feng didn't mean to mock; everyone had their own principles. However, the government representatives interpreted his gaze as mockery, which infuriated them. They were also helpless, as they really couldn't do anything about Lin Feng, this dictator.

Chapter 361 Photonics Research

On a planet at the edge of the Milky Way, a blonde woman in a white lab coat stands beside a hibernation pod, occasionally glancing at the watch on her wrist.

After waiting for about three minutes, a sound suddenly came from the hibernation pod, the pod door slowly opened, and the man who was in hibernation inside walked out of the hibernation pod.

The blonde woman smiled and extended her hand to the man, who stretched his arm and shook hands with her.

“It’s rare that you’ve come,” the woman said.

Lin Feng looked around and asked with some emotion, "Diana, when was the last time I was here?"

“About two hundred years ago, I’m sorry, it’s been a long time, I can’t remember exactly,” Diana said.

"Two hundred years..."

Lin Feng murmured to himself with emotion. He knew he had been away from the planet where Planck was studying the microscopic world for a long time, but he hadn't expected it to be two hundred years. Two hundred years on Earth is enough for a dynasty to go from its founding to its demise.

With longevity, the concept of time becomes blurred; a hundred years can feel like only one year has passed...

Lin Feng snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Diana, asking, "How's the progress here? The Council of Ten says you haven't made any progress at all."
