"How did you decide?" Lin Feng asked.

"We haven't reached a conclusion yet."

Davis shrugged. They were currently arguing about this, somewhat like the two factions in the Space Force advocating for radiation propulsion versus propellant propulsion.

However, the two are different now. Propellant propulsion is indeed not very useful for future space warfare, while brain implants, regardless of the type, seem to have a significant effect.

Upon hearing Davis's words, Lin Feng smiled; he already had an idea.

"I see. Then I've decided for you both: proceed with both research directions in parallel," Lin Feng said.

"Ah... in that case, the investment would be extremely..."

Davis hesitated, then said that researching two types of brain implants would mean doubling the resources required.

Lin Feng said, "Only children make choices. If something this good is successful, humanity will have an endless supply of technical talent. So we should tackle both research directions."

"The issue of investment is not a problem at all. Just tell us what resources you want, and the PDC will not have any objections."

If anyone has objections, Lin Feng will personally bring that person out for criticism at the meeting...

Lin Feng never minces words when it comes to issues involving human education.

"You still surprise me as always."

Having received Lin Feng's permission, Davis said no more and buried himself in his work again.

……

In the Three-Body game world, a curtain obscured the sky, and dark clouds with lightning and thunder poured down torrential rain, flooding everything on the earth.

It was a rare rain in the game world, but unfortunately, it still wasn't good weather.

The top executives of ETO gathered aboard a turbulent Noah's Ark to hold a meeting related to the Wallfacers.

“Radiaz is building the Dyson Cloud, Hines is imprinting people with thought-provoking ideas, and Feng Taylor is ordering that resources be concentrated on overcoming brain implantation technology,” Mozi said.

"If humankind were to develop brain implantation technology, the resistance to entering the solar system would inevitably increase exponentially..." von Neumann mused.

ETO executives naturally do not want to see brain implantation technology be mastered by humans.

Unfortunately, the ETO could not stop the power imbalance between the organization and human civilization, which was like the power imbalance between humanity and the Trisolarans.

Even though ETO learned everything through Sophon, it was powerless to do anything about it.

"We cannot stop humanity from researching this technology; we cannot do it with our current strength," King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, sighed dejectedly.

King Arthur, unwilling to give up, suggested: "We can promote the idea of ​​brain implantation and mind imprinting to sow discord between Maple Taylor and the PDC."

“He can share the brain implantation technology with various countries,” King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, replied.

King Arthur thought for a moment, then continued, "Then let's continue to advocate that all countries have their thoughts imprinted in their brains, sowing discord between them, as well as between people and governments."

Inside Noah's Ark, the ETO executives fell silent.

Einstein replied, "...that doesn't seem very reliable. All countries are very clear about the benefits of brain implantation and will not easily give up the technology. Even if Feng Taylor stops researching this technology now, all countries will still be determined to continue researching it because the huge changes brought about by brain implantation technology are worth it."

“Sometimes, I really wish humans could be a little idiots,” Bohr said with some annoyance.

"...Did Maple Taylor realize this, and that's why he's been working on human education?"

Edison, who had been silent, suddenly asked this question, and the ETO executives were taken aback at first, then their expressions changed several times.

"Damn it! This was exactly what that bastard expected! Why does he always have to pop up and annoy people every now and then!" King Arthur cursed under his breath, his teeth itching with hatred.

It's a really subtle feeling to be watched and guarded against before they even realize it.

It's like being mocked for his intelligence by the past version of Feng Taylor.

Qin Shihuang said, "We have been suppressed by Feng Taylor for too long. Even within the organization, there are many voices of wavering. After the Wallfacers finish their plans, they will continue to hibernate. We must destroy at least one Wallfacer before they go into hibernation."

"I'll choose Radiaz."

"No one in the ETO leadership objected," Mozi asked.

Where will we fight him?

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shi Huang replied, "Let's choose the United Nations. In front of representatives from all countries, the whole world will see our achievements."

After the ETO senior management meeting ended, all the members logged off, except for Qin Shihuang, who remained online.

He spoke to an empty place in a very respectful tone.

"Lord, could you please pass on a message to Newton who is lurking in the shadows?"

What message are you trying to convey?

A girl in a kimono appeared in that empty place, but she didn't seem out of place at all, as if she had been there all along.

Qin Shi Huang said, "I hope that he can complete the assassination of Feng Taylor shortly after we break through the Wallfacer. The loss of two Wallfacers in a short period of time will inevitably have an extremely bad impact on human society, and human confidence will also be greatly damaged."

Qin Shi Huang paused, then added firmly.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if it can't be done. Let Newton proceed at his own pace. Feng Taylor is a big problem; he must ensure the assassination succeeds."

Tomoko replied, "I will pass on the message."

"Thank you for your help, my Lord."

……

Today, a new chapter in human history is about to begin.

Humanity's first space satellite was successfully placed into orbit around Mercury by Knight Williams and his team.

This satellite will orbit the sun along with Mercury, constantly collecting solar energy and converting it into electricity.

On this day, newspapers were covered with images of solar satellites taken from different angles, and all media outlets broadcast this great advancement in human civilization.

Lin Feng also sent his congratulations to Knight William and Radjaz via video call.

"Congratulations, the first space satellite is operating normally," Lin Feng said.

"This is just a small step."

Knight William replied modestly, but Lin Feng clearly didn't want him to remain modest.

"But it is a giant leap for human civilization," Lin Feng joked.

This follow-up joke left Knight William speechless. The quote was originally made by Neil Armstrong when he landed on the moon, and now that he was saying it, it sounded like he was showing off his achievements.

"There is more work to be done," said Diaz. "As the number of solar satellites increases, we will need a powerful computer to plan the operation of the solar satellites in orbit."

Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively, "It's not a big problem. The neural network computer has hundreds of billions of microprocessors, which is more than enough to solve the problem of the operation of the solar satellite orbit. With the resources of the solar system, it is not enough to build a Dyson cloud with too high a density."

"But wasn't that neural network computer taken by your research team to use in order to quickly master brain implantation technology?" Knight William reminded him.

Lin Feng was taken aback; he had forgotten about that.

Lin Feng coughed lightly and said, "We can build new neural network computers. Anyway, the number of solar satellites won't be that exaggerated anytime soon, and conventional computers can keep up for a while."

Radiaz and Knight William hadn't seen Lin Feng for a while, so they quickly struck up a conversation. Lin Feng talked about the changes on Earth, while Radiaz and the others discussed the situation in various space cities and shared their intelligence.

During the conversation, Lin Feng shared an idea that had popped into his head a few years ago.

"After learning that solid metallic hydrogen exists on Jupiter, human technology has made leaps and bounds. And solid metallic hydrogen, in a sense, is also a type of micromaterial," Lin Feng said.

"One hydrogen nucleus occupies the electron energy level orbital of another hydrogen nucleus, leaving the entire mass with only protons and no electrons or neutrons. Solid metallic hydrogen is the densest substance that mankind has ever known."

"I was thinking, could we artificially create strong force fields like neutron stars and quark stars, and create artificial miniature neutron stars and quark stars, bringing the microscopic to the macroscopic, so that humans can understand the physical properties of various particles without the help of particle accelerators?"

When Ding Yi and his team confirmed the existence of solid metallic hydrogen by observing the core of Jupiter, Lin Feng wondered if it was possible to artificially create a higher pressure environment to discover materials with higher density.

In this way, materials science can achieve breakthroughs without relying on sophons, since this method does not require particle accelerators.

Knight William understood Lin Feng's meaning and asked in surprise.

"...You intend to use this method to bypass the Sophon Blockade?"

“Yes, Dyson Cloud will continuously provide us with a huge amount of energy, and this huge amount of energy is the basis for us to do whatever we want,” Lin Feng replied.

Knight William frowned and replied, "You know it's reckless, so you should know even more that it's not feasible..."

Why is it not feasible?

Ray Diaz, who was standing to the side, asked a question. Lin Feng's sudden idea had piqued his interest.

Knight Williams explained, "Because it is difficult to create such a high-pressure environment, humans can only manipulate electromagnetic forces. Even if there is enough electricity, it is possible to control metals to compress matter to the level of a neutron star."

"But what is a neutron star? It's a bunch of neutrons. Neutrons don't have electrical properties, and they don't stick together. Neutrons need to combine with protons to form an atomic nucleus. Once they lose a proton, the neutrons will disperse, penetrate the metal that is being compressed, and escape completely."

"For neutrons, the externally compressed metal body is like a constantly shrinking fishing net, and neutrons will flow out through the gaps like water."

"All of this is based on the premise that the external metal will not deform due to the enormous electromagnetic force. If the external metal subjected to the magnetic force deforms, the situation is even worse. The internal matter may not have been compressed into a neutron degenerate state before the external metal has already changed its original physical properties."

"For example, when a metal receives an excessive amount of strong magnetic force, some of the energy is converted into an electric current. This current is still extremely large for a metal, and some of the electrical energy is converted into heat energy, which melts and vaporizes the metal directly."

Energy isn't like a robot that can be used however it wants. If energy could be arbitrarily transformed according to human thought, Lin Feng's idea might actually be feasible.

Unfortunately, in the physical world, energy is aloof and unapproachable, like a haughty lady who disdains to interact with people.

"Okay, anyway, this is just my personal idea. Since it's not very useful, don't take it too seriously."

Lin Feng shrugged indifferently. After all, this was just an idea that popped into his head a few years ago. It didn't matter if it was not feasible or not. Anyway, Luo Ji would be there to back him up in the future, so he wasn't worried at all.

However, Reidiaz was unaware of these things. He didn't know that Luo Ji would be there to cover for him in the future, so he didn't want to let go of this seemingly feasible idea.

"No, it's not useless," said Rediaz. "The idea of ​​'taking microscopic things and applying them to macroscopic things' is indeed a new approach that can bypass the sophon."

"In the end, a sophon has a total mass of only one proton. It can interfere with microscopic particles and affect the particle parameters fed back by the accelerator, but it has no ability to change the physical parameters of a macroscopic mass of matter. Even if there were billions of sophons in the entire solar system, it would not be possible."

"So I think there's nothing wrong with this idea, we just need to study the methodology a bit more."

Chapter 102 I am the Wallbreaker of Diaz

Two years after the Dyson Cloud project began construction, the Hines went into hibernation. Their belief center was managed by the PDC and under strict 24-hour monitoring. The operators were assigned by the PDC, and the assigned operators could only legally carry out the thought imprinting process under the supervision of supervisors appointed by the PDC.

Lin Feng was not surprised by this arrangement.

The technology of imprinting thoughts is a dangerous technology that can directly threaten the foundations of political power in various countries, and it can also threaten the entirety of human civilization.

Imagine what would happen if ETO obtained this technology? They would use various means and channels to obtain a large number of homeless children, then brainwash them to become completely loyal to the Trisolarans, and then send these children back to human society.

Once these brainwashed children have secured a place in human society, they will continue to use their mental imprints to grow stronger like a snowball, eventually leading humanity toward its demise.

For example, an ambitious individual could use violence to gradually imprint the ideology of the entire nation's population, thereby achieving the goal of dominating all of humanity. This is also achievable.
