The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

The Russian representative said: "Japanese representative, there is no such thing as chance or luck in war, only inadequate pre-war preparation, strategic decision-making errors, and misjudgment of the battlefield situation."

Anyone with military knowledge can see that the virtual war has evolved into this state because the Space Force initially underestimated the player base.

Players gather information about your space force warships before the battle, so who can you blame for not gathering information about the players' fleet combat styles?

Why are the players not proactively providing intelligence to your Space Force?

If the Space Force had had a good understanding of the players' behavior from the beginning, how could they have suffered a loss in the first tentative exchange of fire?

Therefore, the failure of this virtual war was entirely due to the Space Force soldiers' disregard for the players.

War requires meticulous preparation beforehand; to start gathering intelligence during wartime is simply insane.

"The players still took advantage of the rules of virtual warfare, failing to properly design combat warships from the beginning and instead creating a fleet of industrial ships. If they were to confront the Space Force head-on, they would definitely be defeated. Moreover, in terms of intelligence, the Space Force has always been at a disadvantage. The players already knew the composition of the Space Force's fleet, while the Space Force knew nothing about the players' fleet composition," the Spanish representative said with dissatisfaction.

Of course, his dissatisfaction had nothing to do with the players; he simply wanted to annoy Lin Feng. In his view, Lin Feng, this despicable person, had almost slapped him in the face with his actions.

The Tanzanian representative, speaking in heavily accented African English, sarcastically remarked to the Spanish representative who was trying to save face.

"They can't gather intelligence on the players? Their game videos are public, and the preferences and combat styles of each player's fleet are readily available. It's not difficult for these space forces to collect and analyze this intelligence. Ultimately, it's because they underestimated their opponents from top to bottom! They were unwilling to understand their opponents from the beginning! That's the root cause of their defeat in this battle!"

"The Space Force had an equipment advantage, and at the same time, based on our 'realistic' requirements, players had to fight under battlefield rules that were very unfamiliar to them. Our Space Force even lost to a weakened enemy!"

The meeting descended into heated discussion, but Lin Feng, the instigator, remained silent.

It wasn't that he didn't want to chime in, but rather that he didn't know how. He was practically a military idiot; he couldn't understand some of the military terminology at all.

If I say something wrong, I'll lose face in front of the whole world.

After waiting for a while, it seemed that a result had been reached in the discussion, and the American representative solemnly addressed Lin Feng.

"Wallfacer Feng Taylor, you are right. I agree to form a player fleet. The innovative thinking of players can indeed give us and the Space Force a lot of inspiration. We must admit that children's imaginations are more imaginative than ours as adults."

This was followed by the endorsement of the other four permanent members of the Security Council.

The outcome of the virtual war removed all obstacles to Lin Feng's proposal to 'build a player fleet'.

After the meeting ended, Lin Feng was approached privately by Knight William, and the two met virtually on social media.

"William, what do you want?" Lin Feng asked.

"Are you really planning to send those gamers into space?" Knight William asked.

Lin Feng nodded and answered clearly, "This was my plan when I first asked to develop a virtual space game that closely resembles reality."

Although it wasn't for building a player fleet, Lin Feng thought to himself.

The purpose of creating virtual space games is to train a large number of people who can go into space, not to build a space fleet, but for various space industries.

It's impossible to rely on military warships to mine meteorite resources in space, right?

Space cities, space farms, Dyson clouds, and so on—these all require a large number of people to go into space to achieve.

The most important thing is Dyson Cloud, which involves Radijaz's plan. Lin Feng doesn't know Radijaz's plan, but he knows that the man is a true hero, just like Luo Ji, and Lin Feng feels that he should help him.

Of course, there was another reason. At the meeting, PDC said that they would not care about Dyson Cloud, and if Lin Feng had the ability, he could build Dyson Cloud himself. Lin Feng was also trying to save face for himself.

Lin Feng said solemnly, "In short, the rewards promised to the players must be fulfilled. If you encounter any difficulties, come and tell me, and I will solve them. We cannot let these future space talents down; they are our future hope."

The PDC knew the outcome of the virtual war, and so did the ETO.

In the Three-Body Problem game world, Di Renjie was pacing anxiously back and forth in a snowy field, his footsteps creating a path several meters long.

"Could you please stop pacing back and forth? It's making me dizzy."

Su Qi'er, who was sitting down next to a pine tree, complained in a frustrated mood.

Chapter 80 The Laughable and Incompetent Savior

"The players really defeated the Space Force! Feng Taylor tricked us!"

Di Renjie stared at Su Qier with wide eyes, his gaze filled with undisguised shock.

Su Qier said, "That was just luck. Once the Space Force knew the other player's identity, they lost the ability to take the opponent seriously, so it's normal that they suffered a great loss."

Di Renjie said, "But the Space Force also has equipment advantages. Their arrogance is not without reason. Those players have not adapted to the real battlefield environment. In the past, they relied on the player ID displayed by the system to lock onto enemies in the game."

Su Qier shrugged indifferently: "It's just a pile of scrap metal. The Lord doesn't care about these things at all. No matter how much humans struggle, it's all in vain."

"Don't you understand? The key is not that the players defeated the Space Force, but that bastard Feng Taylor was deceiving us, and we failed to see through what he was hiding."

Di Renjie's frantic behavior, combined with his current appearance, made him look like a madman who had just escaped from an asylum.

He still remembered that when Feng Taylor was asked who would win between the players and the Space Force, the man answered without hesitation that the Space Force would win.

Di Renjie now understands. At that time, Feng Taylor was not answering the questioner's question, but telling the two of them what he wanted to say. Feng Taylor knew that he was being watched, so he deliberately said such things.

The pre-war nerfing of players can also be reasonably explained, because Feng Taylor had great confidence in the players and was certain of victory, so he didn't care about nerfing them, which actually shut some people in PDC up.

Players have been weakened, but the Space Force still hasn't won. You can't blame players for exploiting the game mechanics, right?

This was only Feng Taylor's surface plan; the player fleet must have another, deeper plan hidden behind it, which they couldn't see through at all, making Di Renjie break out in a cold sweat.

The Lord sees everything. If ETO can't even see through the Wallfacer Project, what is the point of its existence?

"No, I need to talk to the higher-ups about this."

After saying this, Di Renjie left Su Qier behind and walked alone into the depths of the snowfield.

In response to Di Renjie's request for help, ETO's top management, including John von Neumann, took a break from his busy pile of documents to deal with another of Feng Taylor's wall-facing plans.

"I have a basic understanding of the situation." Von Neumann glanced briefly at the intelligence report submitted by his subordinate.

"What should we do?" Su Qier asked.

Holding the intelligence, von Neumann replied, "Analyzing Feng Taylor's lies will take time; this matter will be handled by our leadership."

"The players' victories in virtual warfare are something that can be exploited. You try to guide the media, hype up the players' victories, and use public opinion to satirize the Space Force's incompetence in not being able to defeat a group of gamers, causing them to fight among themselves."

Di Renjie frowned slightly. "That's Wallfacer Feng Taylor's plan. Given his style, I doubt anyone in the Space Force would think of voluntarily crossing the line."

Everyone knows that Feng Taylor acts domineeringly. If you don't block his way, it might be fine, but if you do, the problem becomes serious.

Von Neumann shook his head and replied, "That's because the satire wasn't strong enough. When emotions run high, some people will do stupid things. For example, we could have the media interview some players and guide them to actively satirize the Space Force's incompetence. This would naturally arouse the Space Force's dissatisfaction with the player community."

"With so many people in the Space Force, there are bound to be some who, due to dissatisfaction with the player community, will try to sabotage the formation of the player fleet. Not to mention stopping construction altogether, at least it will take longer than normal to complete the formation, which will buy us time to expose Feng Taylor's lies."

The derogatory information from third-party media may not affect the Space Force currently in service, but if the derogatory information comes from some players, the effect will be different.

Although there are certainly bad apples, soldiers are generally a group that values ​​honor very much.

"Yes, leave this to me. I'll get it done."

Di Renjie nodded and volunteered for the task.

……

Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, lost in thought. He always remembered the purpose of proposing the player fleet.

I wonder if ETO will pay attention to this; the player fleet as a cover should be able to distract them...

Lin Feng felt that the effort was not enough, because the guise of a player fleet did not seem to give ETO the feeling that its plan could threaten the Trisolarans.

But he couldn't think of any other plans for the time being.

Suddenly, Lin Feng remembered something else, so he called the maid over.

"Edith, have you finished registering the company I asked you to register last time?"

"It's already registered, but isn't it inappropriate for you to commercialize something developed with resources provided by various countries?" Edith asked hesitantly, feeling that Lin Feng's actions would surely draw criticism from the national representatives of the PDC.

Lin Feng sneered, "So what if I provide resources? The development will be done by my team. We can give them shares later. If you have any further questions, just tell them. This is part of the plan."

In such minor matters, the Wallfacer's permissions are still somewhat useful for the PDC.

Edith nodded.

"understood."

In the Three-Body Problem game, von Neumann, who had taken over Lin Feng's player fleet plan and was conducting an in-depth investigation, received another report from his subordinates.

"Feng Taylor has made another move. Judging from his arrangements, it seems he intends to propose a new plan, different from the player fleet," Di Renjie quickly relayed the information to von Neumann.

"I……"

Von Neumann wanted to swear, but considering his current status and position in the organization, swearing would be too embarrassing, and he barely managed to hold back.

He cursed Feng Taylor inwardly, thinking she was a jerk. He hadn't even finished his own work when Feng Taylor came up with another plan for him!

Is Feng Taylor trying to make him fail two Wallfacer projects in a row, causing him to die from exhaustion?

von Neumann frowned as he looked at the detailed intelligence that Di Renjie had handed him, and asked with a question.

"Are you planning to start a company, in the construction engineering sector?"

"It's a space construction engineering project, but since we don't have a spaceship yet, we can only take on some ground-based work," Di Renjie explained from the side.

“...players...company...space city...space farmland…”

Von Neumann stroked his chin, muttering to himself in thought, feeling as if all the scattered threads in his mind had finally come together.

"Does Maple Taylor want to create a space force that is uniquely his own?" von Neumann asked.

Then, von Neumann shook his head, rejecting the question himself.

“PDC will not allow such a dangerous idea to become a reality, as it risks getting out of control, and Feng Taylor is well aware of this.”

Di Renjie replied, "It should be escapism. Feng Taylor plans to create a space force to bypass the PDC and allow humanity to escape the solar system."

Von Neumann continued to shake his head and said, "No, that would be too obvious. The PDC would not allow escapism. After breaking through the wall last time, they dared to do it so openly, but in the end they only brought trouble upon themselves. This should just be the surface. There may be other purposes hidden beneath the surface."

Von Neumann didn't believe the PDC would allow Feng Taylor to devise an escape plan. The moment such a plan even emerged, the PDC would immediately halt Feng Taylor's plan without the ETO even needing to intervene.

Su Qier said, "No matter what Feng Taylor's plan is, it must be related to this company. We'll find a way to infiltrate this company, create a shocking scandal, and cause the company to go bankrupt. Feng Taylor's plan may fail before it even begins."

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you to give it a try.” Von Neumann nodded in agreement.

Von Neumann added, "Also, be careful not to reveal your identity; the organization has fewer and fewer people available now."

……

With ETO secretly promoting it, the news media that had previously quieted down have resurfaced, accusing Lin Feng of being an exile.

The front pages of newspapers were filled with headlines such as "The Wallfacers Who Abandoned Humanity," "The Ridiculous and Incompetent Saviors," and "Humanity Does Not Need to Escape."

These media outlets are shrewd; no one said it was Lin Feng, they just said it was the Wallfacer.
