"I see."

Lin Feng nodded in deep agreement.

Edith said, "PDC has a meeting for you at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"understood."

Lin Feng nodded. He wasn't surprised that PDC would come looking for him. Every time someone broke through his barrier, they would come to question him. His own people in ETO would send messages to more than just him.

Lin Feng joined the meeting of the Planetary Defense Council via video link.

Everyone sat upright, and the entire venue was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

"Maple Taylor, about your plans..."

The American representative broke the silence and spoke first, but unexpectedly, Lin Feng interrupted him halfway through his sentence.

"I know, I know all of this. Anyway, it's not the first time. Should we follow the procedure or just start criticizing? If you want to accuse me of being anti-human, then go ahead and accuse me. I can take it."

Lin Feng's words made the room even quieter.

Then came a chorus of snickers. Many national representatives looked like they wanted to laugh but were trying hard to hold it in. Quite a few people deliberately dropped things under the table, and as they bent over, faint snickers could be heard.

The rotating chairperson tapped the gavel, and the meeting room fell silent once more.

The rotating chairman said, "Wallfacer Feng Taylor, your plan has not been opposed, and the PDC will not ask you to suspend the plan."

Lin Feng looked astonished and asked incredulously.

"Huh? Why aren't you objecting? This is about modifying the human body!"

Transforming humans into animals is absolutely crossing the line into inhumanity, and then releasing them into the mountains and forests like wild beasts for hundreds of years is even more unacceptable to mainstream social ethics.

How could the Planetary Defense Council possibly allow such a plan to be implemented?!

Why were all those previous plans banned?

Aren't you determined to uphold the bottom line of humanity?

Or are you deliberately going against me, guessing that I'm going to abandon this plan, and deliberately offering to allow it to proceed?

"What is morality compared to the continuation of the human race?" the Indian representative said.

The German representative also said: "There is no need to worry about the morality at all. We can find people around the world who have lost the will to live and let them participate in this project. These people did not want to live in the first place. There are still a lot of people in the public opinion who are clamoring for the promotion of euthanasia. As long as these people participate in the project voluntarily, there is no moral problem here."

"We could also involve death row inmates, since they're going to die anyway," the Japanese representative added.

The topic was brought to the fore, and representatives from various countries spontaneously began to discuss it.

"The location could be a secluded island with a suitable climate, isolated from the world and free from large wild animals. I think the secluded islands in the Pacific Ocean would be quite good..."

“I object. Considering the future rise in sea levels, isolated islands are easily submerged by the ocean. They should be released into Africa, where food can be found with almost no work required…”

"That won't work. Africa has many large animals, like lions, rhinos, and crocodiles. Humans simply can't win without tools..."

"Or perhaps Australia? There are plenty of rabbits there, food is plentiful, and there aren't many wild beasts..."

Lin Feng stared blankly at the representatives from various countries discussing the issue. He never expected that the countries would be so accepting of the human castration plan.

Lin Feng was now full of questions and couldn't understand why these national representatives would agree to a plan that placed their hopes on the Trisolarans.

"Can you tell me why everyone supports this plan? Your reactions are so different from what I expected." Lin Feng rubbed his forehead, feeling that it wasn't that he had changed a lot, but rather that the world had changed too fast.

The French representative said, "Because we cannot guarantee that humanity can defeat the Trisolarans. What if we lose the war against the Trisolarans? Humanity will not only destroy its civilization, but the human species will also be wiped out of the universe."

The British representative continued, "We cannot expect the Trisolarans to be like humans, with a strong sense of humanitarianism. It would be very easy for them to carry out a large-scale massacre on Earth from orbit..."

After a brief exchange, Lin Feng understood the thoughts of the representatives from various countries.

They knew that the gap between humanity and the Trisolarans was vast, almost to the point of despair. They were not afraid of fighting, but they did not want human civilization to perish in this way.

Chapter 86 Humanity's Future Is Not on Earth

If humanity wins, everyone will be happy, but what if humanity loses?

Are we just going to let humanity perish like this?

Their race was wiped out by the Trisolarans?

In a time when escapism is not encouraged, self-castration seems like a good option.

They select death row inmates and people who don't want to live, and modify their brains to turn them into mindless beasts.

When the human fleet is defeated and intelligent humans are completely destroyed by the Trisolarans, their attention will turn to these humans who are no different from beasts, and they might be spared.

If that's the case, then failed humans at least have one more chance to start over.

Australopithecus took millions of years to evolve into modern humans, and it would take humans, who have become more like wild animals, millions of years to develop another human civilization.

Even if it's not very reliable, it's at least a plan to revive civilization!

What's wrong with this plan?

The real investment was simply to renovate some people and then designate an area as a reserve.

This investment cost is far less than other plans; only Luo Ji's "Facing the Wall" plan has a lower resource investment cost.

"Why are you all so confident that the Three Realms will spare the humans who have turned into beasts? Won't they exterminate them all?" Lin Feng asked.

"If the Trisolarans can accept ETO, what's wrong with them accepting a group of monkeys who have no intelligence?" the Afghan representative replied sadly.

This is a plan for survival based on the premise of the destruction of human civilization. That is why countries are so fond of it, because the representatives of various countries are not very confident that humanity can defeat the Trisolarans.

Saying it's a 50/50 match is an overstatement.

Lin Feng sighed inwardly, "I'm glad that PDC is so certain about my plan for the first time, but..."

"I, the Wallfacer, Maple Taylor, oppose the implementation of this plan!"

Lin Feng's voice resounded throughout the venue, leaving the representatives from various countries looking on in astonishment.

Representatives from various countries had considered that some people might object, because allowing some humans to have their intelligence emasculated and live like wild beasts was a violation of worldly morality.

However, they never expected that the first person to stand up against them would be the Wallfacer, Feng Taylor.

Dude, you were the one who came up with this plan!

You brought it up and then led the opposition?

The Japanese representative, looking utterly bewildered, asked, "Why? Wasn't this the plan you proposed?"

"I oppose the implementation of this plan," Lin Feng firmly reiterated his earlier statement.

“Tell us your reasons.”

The American representative slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

“I can’t explain this to you because it’s part of the plan.”

Lin Feng looked at the trembling American representative and replied helplessly.

He couldn't very well tell these people that Luo Ji had already deciphered the Dark Forest theory and was just waiting for the star to be destroyed decades later to verify his theory and then have a one-on-one showdown with the Trisolaran world, could he?

It's impossible to say. The Hessian Deterrence must not be discussed before it is established, otherwise humanity itself will stop the Hessian Deterrence.

Just like the Soviet nuclear submarine that defied Khrushchev's order to launch a nuclear missile, on a larger scale, the human race possesses a self-protective mechanism that prevents humanity from heading towards self-destruction.

Lin Feng knew they had it in the bag and were sure to win, but these representatives didn't know that they were seeking a way out for the future of humanity.

The Russian representative looked at Lin Feng and said, "No, this is not part of the plan. We need to know why you oppose implementing this plan that you designed yourself."

"Because it has already been breached, the plan to breach it is worthless," Lin Feng said.

The French representative said, "No, it is very valuable. It is the only way for humanity to preserve the human bloodline without people scrambling for project slots."

Humans cannot use escapism; if everyone is trying to escape, then no one will be able to escape.

But this human castration plan is different. Who the hell wants to be an idiot beast in the mountains?

Nobody wants to be one, so naturally few people compete for it. You might get eaten by wild animals one day, let alone continue your bloodline.

However, the human bloodline as a whole can be continued in this way, which is precisely what countries value.

"As long as the bloodline remains, it doesn't matter what happens?" Lin Feng asked.

The rotating chair expressed the sentiments of representatives from various countries: "As long as the bloodline remains, there is still hope for humanity. Civilization is built upon species. If the species is gone, civilization is gone. But as long as the species remains, civilization has the opportunity to reappear."

“I will not allow you to do that.”

Lin Feng shook his head firmly. If he didn't know the outcome of the war between humanity and the Trisolarans, he might have agreed to this plan that seemed to be able to continue human civilization, although it would depend on the Trisolarans' choice.

But if humanity were to fall into that situation, it would be fair to say that there was no other choice, let alone anything else.

"Wallfacer Feng Taylor, like your father, were you also defeated by the human morality within you?" the Indian representative asked.

"No, I just know that doing this is pointless because we will win. What you are doing is just pointlessly harming your own compatriots," Lin Feng replied firmly.

He had already made up his mind not to carry out the plan, so naturally he couldn't stand by and watch other countries carry out a plan that was of little help to humanity.

"The player fleet you're proposing? They were recently defeated by the Space Force, and suffered a crushing defeat," the Spanish representative asked with a sneer.

"Although you have proposed many plans, none of them can guarantee humanity's victory. Until the probability of humanity's victory reaches 100%, even if it is 99%, the castration plan still has its value," the American representative advised.

However, such persuasion could not change Lin Feng's mind.

“I don’t want this plan to go through, because it’s part of the plan.”

Lin Feng used the Wallfacer's authority. He knew that the Wallfacer's rights were of little use to these high-ranking humans, but he wanted to use this to express his attitude toward this matter.

The rotating chairman frowned. He couldn't understand why Lin Feng insisted on this, and he tried to persuade him.

“I hope you can be more rational, Mr. Taylor. Morality is often an obstacle to survival. If you want to survive, you should abandon it.”

"I'm very rational now! The future of humanity is not on the ground, but in the sky, among those dazzling stars! You turned some humans into beasts and left them on the ground forever, and their descendants were also abandoned on the ground, generation after generation can only look up to your descendants! How cruel is this! No one should be the one left behind!" Lin Feng cursed angrily.

The Japanese representative reminded him: "Mr. Taylor, I think you have forgotten one thing. The Trisolarans who are blocking humanity's future are just insects. Insects prioritize how to continue their survival."

"Moreover, the people we select are all prepared to die. If we don't require them to participate, their fate is death. How can the dead leave behind their bloodline? They won't have any descendants. Your logic simply doesn't make sense."

But the Trisolarans no longer pose a threat!

Luo Ji has already gone into hibernation, and humanity can now smoothly overcome the Three-Body crisis in one fell swoop!

The only thing that can make me worry is the singer!

With a plan like yours that only turns a portion of people into beasts, if humanity were still on Earth, the Singer would immediately reward you with a two-dimensional foil!
