After a long silence, the head of state turned his gaze to a consul.

"Go and urge the ETO to take action as soon as possible and eliminate Feng Taylor."

"Ok."

The governor nodded.

It's difficult to kill Feng Taylor now, but they can only pin their hopes on the ETO. The physical impact that the Trisolaran civilization can currently have in the solar system is not significant, except for the Sophon.

Although something specifically designed to target Luo Ji's Dark Forest broadcast has been launched, it won't reach the solar system for a while.

"Now let's discuss something else," the leader said.

"The human plan is to launch a human brain into our First Fleet, with the intention of penetrating our fleet."

This is a very ridiculous thing in the Trisolaran civilization. Although rationality is paramount and emotions are suppressed, many Trisolarans were amused when they first learned about it.

How can you not find it funny? A bunch of lowly and extremely fragile insects actually have the audacity to think they can eat a gigantic beast.

At that time, the rulers even thought that there was something wrong with the minds of the human elite, otherwise how could they have come up with such a delusional plan?

"Should we accept it?" one of the officials asked.

Another governor nodded and said, "I think it is necessary to receive it. War cannot be separated from intelligence. Although we have sophons and the entire solar system is transparent to us, a human brain that can be physically accessed still has extremely high research value."

“I agree. Receiving this brain will greatly help us thoroughly learn humanity’s ability to deceive.” Another governor echoed. This was the person in charge of the Lianggong Project. He very much hoped that the Trisolarans could learn humanity’s ability to deceive. Once they did, the Trisolaran civilization could be free from future risks.

At least when facing equally cunning and technologically advanced enemies, they will not be at an extreme disadvantage.

The leader nodded slightly, but did not give an immediate reply. His gaze fell on the last Trisolaran.

"Suzumiya, what are your opinions on this matter?" the leader asked.

Liang Gong said, "Among humans, there is a saying that has been around for a long time: when we can't understand what the enemy is planning to do, the more the enemy wants to accomplish something, the less we should let them accomplish it."

The meaning is clear: the Trisolaran fleet has no need to receive the brain launched by the Earthlings.

The governor standing next to the palace asked, "That's just a human brain. What can it do? It can't even harm the weakest creature on its home planet. It can't do anything except think."

It's no wonder the Trisolarans didn't take it seriously, because it was just a brain, and they didn't think a brain could have any power to harm the Trisolaran First Fleet.

It can't possibly be based on those 'superpowers' from movies and TV shows, right?

Apart from Haruhi Suzumiya, none of the rulers, including the head of state, felt that a human brain posed any threat.

Therefore, the leader ultimately made the decision to accept the brain.

"Notify the fleet to receive that brain. I don't believe that a mere human brain can threaten the entire First Fleet," the leader said.

"Those are spies sent by humans. Underestimating humans comes at a price," Haruhi Suzumiya reminded him again.

The leader said, “It’s better if there’s a price to pay. This will help us understand this race more deeply and understand deception. We already know the identity of its spy. A spy whose identity has been completely exposed has been sent to us. I’m curious how he can still deceive us.”

"It's just a brain."

……

After being dismissed from SG Corporation, Knight Williams joined Starship Corporation, purchased a pre-built engineering vessel, and assembled an engineering team with the aim of building space facilities for profit.

Lin Feng recruited those Industrial Party players, who joined Knight William's team by investing capital.

There's no such thing as "working class"; everyone does what they love, and the profits are distributed according to shares.

Lin Feng gave Knight William's team their first business deal.

"These cylindrical things should be easy to build, right?" Lin Feng asked.

"It's very easy, there's no technical difficulty involved, but we really should commend you for coming up with such a great idea."

"This is just a random passerby, you know? The mastermind who designed the system to wipe out the entire server's containers."

Lin Feng wanted them to build an electromagnetic acceleration pipeline, which would accelerate the spaceship and allow it to achieve a higher initial velocity.

This would bypass specific impulse, eliminating the need for some fuel on the spacecraft, and allowing for the rapid delivery of materials to various parts of the solar system without altering the spacecraft's propulsion engine.

Even if the propulsion engine changes in the future, the electromagnetic acceleration pipe can still function because it does not conflict with the engine's propulsion.

Chapter 89 Acceleration Bucket

In the Three-Body game world, darkness descends, and not even a shooting star can be seen in the sky, only pitch black as thick as ink, and the howling wind like the roar of a monster.

Standing there, one feels as if they are in the beginning of chaos, a vast land where everything that should have existed is missing.

A group of people huddled in a corner of a pile of rocks, whispering and discussing their plans around a campfire that swayed in the wind.

The flickering campfire illuminated the faces of these people; they were the ETO executives who, not long ago, were still reviewing the past records of ETO members.

They have gathered here again, all for a common purpose.

"My lord, a second execution order has been issued for Feng Taylor," Qin Shi Huang said.

He used his bronze sword as a fire poker to ensure the campfire burned fully, while talking to his companions. His calm eyes reflected the campfire.

"Does the Lord value him as much as Luo Ji?"

Sitting next to Qin Shi Huang, Mozi asked with some surprise, spreading his arms wide and moving closer to the campfire, trying to feel more warmth in the endless darkness and bitter cold.

The ETO members are currently unaware of the Dark Forest, but they can vaguely sense that the Trisolarans are wary of Luo Ji because Luo Ji can use a certain power in the universe, a power that frightens the Trisolarans.

Ke Feng Taylor was different. He gradually became an enemy they could not ignore. At first, no one in the entire ETO took him seriously.

Now that the Three-Body Problem has issued two kill orders, does that mean that in the eyes of the Lord, Feng Taylor's level of danger is now the same as Luo Ji's?

Can Feng Taylor be compared to Luo Ji, who wields some unknown power?

Bohr patted the snow off his shoulders and breathed warm air into his palms, saying, "No, it's also possible that he finds him annoying. Of the four Wallfacers, he's the only one who keeps proposing various plans. For example, that macro-electron energy storage technology was developed because of his suggestion! Who knows, at some point, he might propose a plan that could threaten the Lord!"

He's in danger!

None of the ETO members present reacted to Bohr's words, not even Mozi, who didn't get along with Bohr.

“It’s possible he’s already brought it up,” von Neumann said.

As he spoke, von Neumann used his administrator privileges to send a pop-up window to all the ETO executives. The pop-up window showed a trumpet-shaped object floating in Earth's orbit, which looked like a large trumpet.

However, this space horn has the same size opening at both ends, but the outer wall at one end is very thick and the other end is very thin, so it looks like a horn.

"What is this thing?"

Qin Shihuang raised an eyebrow, as did the other ETO executives; they hadn't yet fully digested the intelligence gathered during this period.

"This is called an acceleration bucket... I have to say, Feng Taylor's choice of name is really terrible."

To give a quick critique, let's talk about how John von Neumann explained the principles of the acceleration bucket to the ETO executives.

"By using electromagnetic catapults, a magnetic repulsive force is applied to the spacecraft, thereby enabling the spacecraft to reach a relatively high initial velocity. In this way, the specific impulse limit of the spacecraft can be bypassed, allowing the spacecraft to have a very high speed, which is the same principle as electromagnetic guns."

Bohr stroked his chin, deep in thought, and soon understood what von Neumann meant by the acceleration barrel and why it could accelerate the spaceship.

Bohr said, "But this design does not reduce fuel consumption. In the weightless environment of space, Newton's third law becomes very obvious. When this accelerator launches the spacecraft, it also has a reverse thrust. To balance this force and maintain the original stable trajectory, it needs to propel in the opposite direction."

"But the spacecraft does not need to carry this fuel, which frees up a lot of payload to assemble other things, such as the space furnace of this kind of engineering vessel."

After some manipulation, von Neumann revealed the internal structure of Knight William's engineering vessel.

The high vacuum environment of space is ideal for smelting metals. Raw materials are transported from the ground to outer space via a space elevator, and then smelted by engineering ships in outer space to manufacture the required material components.

Seeing the space elevator constantly transporting matter from the ground to the universe, Mozi murmured.

"There's also Feng Taylor's AI civilization project. Although the project has been declared bankrupt, his order to make AI widely used has been carried out by humans."

"Low-IQ AI cannot perform complex tasks, but it can free up manpower, allowing more people to invest in the construction of space elevators. In another year or two, humanity will have six space elevators."

"Considering the various orders that Feng Taylor has issued, I believe that all of this was planned, and is part of a plan..."

Yes, it's all part of the plan. Their previous attempts to break through the walls were actually meaningless because the Wallfacer couldn't be broken. If the Wallfacer plan was broken and met with collective resistance from humanity, he would start thinking about other Wallfacer plans.

The plans that appear to be helping humanity are actually more difficult to deal with than simply concealing one's intentions.

"That's enough. We're not gathered here to hear tales of Feng Taylor's heroic deeds."

Qin Shihuang interrupted the ETO executives' discussion about Lin Feng; this was not the topic they had gathered to discuss.

With the death of Maple Taylor, the ETO will have to do everything in their power.

"All I want to know right now is, does anyone have any ideas on how to get Feng Taylor dead? He's in a lot of trouble right now."

Somewhat impatiently, Qin Shi Huang used the bronze sword he was using as a fire poker to strike the burning wood in the campfire.

The ETO executives looked at each other, all showing expressions of helplessness.

"This is too difficult..."

"His real body is hiding in an underground bunker; even a nuclear bomb couldn't kill him..."

"A direct assault by manpower is probably not going to work; there are troops stationed there..."

"Even spies can't infiltrate..."

The ETO executives were talking amongst themselves, but it all boiled down to one thing: there was nothing they could do.

"Didn't everyone do a great job with the gene missiles before? Why didn't it work this time?" Qin Shi Huang asked as he continued to stroke the campfire with his bronze sword.

“The gene missile has been exposed, and Feng Taylor’s underground facility is well-defended. We can no longer deal with him the way we dealt with Luo Ji,” von Neumann said helplessly.

To be honest, he really wanted Feng Taylor to die quickly, but he couldn't.

"Is there really no way to deal with Feng Taylor? Is his defense truly absolutely perfect?"

Qin Shi Huang asked this question unwillingly, not only to these ETO executives, but also to himself.

Everyone knows that there is no such thing as perfection in this world. Something is perfect only because you haven't seen its flaws.

“I have a way, but my strength alone is simply not enough,” Newton suddenly said.

The campfire illuminated the man's resolute expression.

The ETO executives all looked pleased.

"Tell us what you think, and we'll help you," Qin Shi Huang said, looking at Newton.

Newton shook his head. "No, I will not tell you anything about the assassination."

Newton's words caused Qin Shihuang and other ETO executives to frown.

Why not tell them about the assassination attempt on Feng Taylor?
