Lin Feng's political backing is the United States, so he can be said to be similar to a representative of the United States, and has some political significance representing the United States. It is precisely because of this that he was not targeted as badly as Rediaz in the United Nations.

The group of lackeys following the US then turned their gaze to the somewhat embarrassed American representative, their eyes clearly saying—Boss, isn't this a bit underhanded? You were the one who led the attack against him, and now you're helping him? Or are you secretly colluding with Venezuela behind our backs? You're treating us like fools, isn't that going too far?

The American representative felt very uncomfortable under the scrutiny of so many eyes, but he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Rediaz nodded gratefully to Lin Feng and continued, "As we all know, apart from a portion coming from the Earth's core, most of the energy on Earth comes from the main sequence star of the solar system. All the energy collected on Earth is just a drop in the ocean compared to the Sun."

"My plan is to use artificial satellites launched into solar orbit to collect and utilize the energy that the sun dissipates daily. To do this, we need to dismantle Mercury."

Chapter 55 I Want to Think

These words immediately caused an uproar in the entire venue.

Dismantle Mercury? Mercury, no matter how small, is still a planet!

Moreover, being so close to the sun, the harsh environment would increase the investment costs exponentially.

The PDC rotating chairman tapped the gavel, and the room fell silent. Galen turned to ask Rediaz.

"Wallfacer Diaz, do you mean you plan to dismantle Mercury and build a Dyson Cloud to envelop the Sun?"

"Yes," said Radiaz with confidence. "We don't know how powerful the Trisolarans are yet, but we can be sure they are extremely powerful. They have locked down our technology with just a small amount of proton-mass matter, making it impossible for us to study the microscopic world."

"Their use of matter of greater mass is absolutely unimaginable from our current perspective."

"But after someone pointed it out, I realized a problem: even such a powerful civilization has things it fears."

At this point, Rediaz's gaze fell on Lin Feng on the screen.

The way the many underlings looked at the American representative changed again—Good heavens! Boss, you've already secretly collaborated with Venezuela on such a huge project? That's going too far! You were targeting Venezuela before because you wanted to monopolize everything, weren't you!

The US representative knew that if things continued this way, a host of allies would surely turn against them, so he spoke out in rebuttal.

"I'm sorry, Wallfacer Diaz, your plan is just too..."

I think it's a good idea!

Lin Feng abruptly interrupted the American representative's speech.

The American representative coughed loudly and gave Lin Feng a wink.

"Ahem! Wallfacer Feng Taylor, I think..."

"I don't care what you think, I care what I think. I think this plan is absolutely fantastic!"

Lin Feng pretended not to see anything and insisted on his own ideas, implying that the American representative was not aware of his stance.

The American representative was furious, cursing Lin Feng as an idiot in his heart, and replied with dissatisfaction: "Wallfacer Feng Taylor, the United States does not have enough resources to fill this bottomless pit. Even if we do not build a space fleet, the resources of all mankind will not be enough."

“Materials can be sourced locally. Mercury has a harsh environment, but industrial building materials are not scarce. It is rich in various metal minerals. There is a shortage of labor, so we can use intelligent AI…” Lin Feng said.

The American representative interrupted Lin Feng, saying, "Mercury is the closest planet to the sun in the entire solar system. It has high temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and strong radiation. It is not only a hell for humans, but also a hell for electronic instruments."

Even someone like him, who only has a superficial understanding of astronomy, knows exactly what a terrible hell Mercury is.

Lin Feng said, "Say what you will, I'll say it again: I don't care what you think, I care what I think."

"This is utterly absurd! If you're so capable, then find the manpower and resources yourself and do it! The government will absolutely not help you!"

The American representative slammed his fist on the table and stood up, unable to maintain his usual composure, pointing at Lin Feng on the screen and cursing him angrily.

The meeting ended amidst the angry shouts of the American representative. From the perspective of America's allies, it felt as if the United States had suddenly split into two people fighting each other, with completely opposite ideas. The allies were caught in a dilemma: to help or not to help.

In the end, they were unsure whether to continue opposing Diaz's plan, and Diaz's plan to combine Dyson cloud with ball lightning energy storage was approved.

Of course, the PDC prioritized this project rather late, because humanity still needed to build a space fleet, and it was clearly not feasible to devote all resources to building the Dyson Cloud.

After the meeting ended, the first thing Lin Feng did after turning off the video call was to go to the president of SG Company.

“William, I have something to ask your SG company to do.”

"Just tell us, and we'll get it done for you immediately, as long as it's within our capabilities," Knight William said, patting his chest.

For Knight William, having a big shot like Feng Taylor willingly owe him a favor was like a windfall, something he was willing to go to great lengths to do.

Lin Feng said, "I hope you can develop a space sandbox game, focusing on mining and building, and encouraging players to demolish Mercury to build a Dyson Cloud. The game must be as close to reality as possible in terms of physics and scenery."

"Okay, your requirements aren't too high. We can make it for you within six months."

Lin Feng shook his head slightly and said, "No, half a year is too long. Cut it in half again, to three months."

"Ah, this..."

William suddenly felt that the task assigned to him by the Wallfacer had become several times more difficult. Even if it was a virtual game with low cost, it still required at least a testing period.

"If you can do it, I'll give you a little more leeway," Lin Feng said.

William understood the meaning behind Lin Feng's words; they represented enormous profits. His capitalist blood was boiling, and he couldn't let go of such profits.

If the money is enough, capitalists are even willing to sell the rope that would hang themselves.

After gritting his teeth and hesitating for a moment, William agreed, "You can rest assured that we'll handle things! If you have anything to add later, just let us know!"

Lin Feng ended his contact with the president of SG Company and then contacted his team.

"It's rare for you to contact us on your own initiative. We thought you had forgotten about us," the team expert on the other end of the communication line said with some surprise.

They have always been the ones who take the initiative to contact us after they have achieved results. It's not that they haven't taken the initiative to contact us, but it's extremely rare.

Lin Feng asked, "I've been waiting for your good news. How's the research progress on that intelligent robot that can be controlled while lying in a gaming pod?"

"There are still some problems to solve. Making the robot as flexible as a human body, especially if it's remotely controlled, is much more difficult than we initially imagined," said a team expert.

If it were just remote control by the human brain, it would be accomplished, but Lin Feng requires it to be as precise as a human body, which is extremely difficult.

First of all, the body's feedback mechanism is a major problem.

"I just want to know, can it be resolved? How long will it take to resolve?" Lin Feng asked.

The team experts thought for a moment and replied, "It can be solved. If we rush the testing, it should be completed within two years. The main problem is the lack of data collection."

"That's good. We need Diaz's plan, so remember to get it done quickly."

Two years is not unacceptable; it provides just enough time to train a large number of space personnel.

"Hmm? Not part of your plan?"

Lin Feng's casual remark surprised the team of experts, as Venezuela was currently at odds with the United States.

“I thought his plan was very visionary, so I wanted to help him.”

"Although Venezuela is politically incompatible with us, the Trisolaran threat is now in our sights. It would be very foolish to cling to past prejudices and form a united front. The Wallfacers' work is for all mankind."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communication line before the team expert replied, "I understand what you mean. We will inform Radiaz's team immediately once we achieve results."

Chapter 56 Brother Luo Ji is still very steady

dong dong dong...

The iron door to the basement was knocked loudly, and the guard outside reported to Radiaz, who was hiding in the basement from the sun: "Mr. Radiaz, we have prepared everything as you requested."

"When do you plan to begin hibernation?"

Crunch-!

The iron gate opened, and Radiaz emerged from the basement.

"Right now."

Regiaz quickly packed his things and handed one item to the doorman.

It was a green gift box with a clivia pattern on it.

The doorman carefully took the gift box from Radiaz's hand. His first impression was that it was very light, like holding a piece of foam.

"Give this to Feng Taylor and tell him it's a gift from me to a friend to thank him for seeing me off last time," said Radiaz.

The news that Radiaz had entered hibernation reached Lin Feng along with the arrival of the gift-giver.

"Is Radiaz hibernating?"

"Yes, he asked us to give this to you."

The gift box was placed on the table, and the person who gave the gift pushed it in front of Lin Feng.

Following Diaz's instructions, the gift-giver repeated, "He said this is a gift for you, to thank you for making the special trip to see him off last time."

Lin Feng nodded, opened the gift box, and inside was something that looked like a bracelet.

Radiaz isn't a little girl, so it's impossible for her to give him any bracelet. Lin Feng recognized this thing; it was the Cradle System.

In addition to the cradle system, there was also a card tucked inside the box, with a line of Venezuelan text handwritten by Rediaz.

[This is a gift for you, my friend – Manuel Rediaz]

"Time has become a physically walkable road, and we don't know when we'll meet again."

Lin Feng muttered to himself, recalling the man in the original story who went hysterical because of ETO breaking through the barrier.

The Venezuelan president who was clearly working for all of humanity, yet fabricated the lie of "Japanophobia" to hide his true strategy and hid in a dark basement, was ostracized and ridiculed by representatives of various countries from beginning to end, and was even abandoned by his own beloved people.

Now, this Wallfacer's plan is different from the original story, and Lin Feng can no longer see his future. He can't help but ponder whether the outcome for Radiaz will be better than in the original story.

"Do you have any plans to hibernate?"

The gift-giver's words interrupted Lin Feng's thoughts. In addition to delivering the gift, he had also been ordered by the Earth United Council to inquire about Lin Feng's intention to hibernate.

Lin Feng shook his head and replied.

Not yet.

After the gift-giver left, Lin Feng began to think about other things.

The fact that Hines and Rediaz had entered hibernation one after another made Lin Feng feel a little melancholy.

He can now somewhat appreciate the sense of loneliness felt by the Wallfacer in the original work.

"Speaking of which, now only Luo Ji and I are left who haven't entered hibernation," Lin Feng muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Luo Ji, the Savior, is the most awesome character in the original work, without a doubt. At least Lin Feng thinks that all the other outstanding characters in the original work are somewhat inferior to Luo Ji.

It's not enough for the sword-wielder to just be highly intimidating; they also need to be able to maintain that level of stability over a long period.

After all, people change. A person may be full of vigor and high in deterrence against Trisolaris when he is young, but as he gets older, his vigor fades and his deterrence against Trisolaris decreases.
