Knowing the name of the person they were looking for, the search wasn't too difficult. After the male nurse operated a computer to Lin Feng's right, a hibernation file popped up.

“We found her. There is indeed such a person, but her injuries are much more severe than yours. Part of her neural network has been burned off. With current medical technology, at best, we can only keep her alive like a vegetable,” the male nurse replied.

His words were meant to remind Lin Feng that even if he were to break the hibernation now, it would still be impossible to cure Edith.

But confirming that Edith was still alive was enough for Lin Feng.

Hibernation into the future isn't such a big problem, because Luo Ji can solve the Trisolaran crisis in the future, and the current crisis facing humanity is just scary to look at.

"Thank you for telling me this."

Lin Feng thanked the male nurse. After learning that Edith was not in any danger, he felt relieved and asked the male nurse for more information.

"When can I operate my dummy robot?"

"It can be done now, but the surrogate robot won't be delivered until tomorrow," the male nurse said.

The male nurse thought for a moment and then added, "If you feel bored, you can log on to the internet and learn more about this era."

Under the guidance of the male nurse, Lin Feng quickly became familiar with how to use the internet access function in the sterile cabin.

The internet is a great thing, and Lin Feng quickly gained a lot of intelligence from it.

For example, the player's fleet gradually increases its political influence in space.

For example, how SG Corporation leveraged the opportunities of the times to develop into the main body of military training for space forces and player fleets.

People have become more ethical, and the kind of swearing that used to flood the internet with 4000+ comments is becoming increasingly rare.

This may be due to the real-name registration system on the internet, as well as Lin Feng's focus on education.

In entertainment, people admire beauty more than ever before, but there is no effeminate culture. At least on the internet, netizens' aesthetic standards for men are mostly the rugged type like Schwarzenegger.

During the fifty years that Lin Feng hibernated, the effeminate culture was severely suppressed.

Humanity generally holds the Wallfacers in high esteem, and even those whose Wallfacers were breached, such as Radiaz and Frederick Taylor Taylor, were not blamed for the madness of their plans.

At least online, you won't see it; most of the comments are praise or rational evaluations.

If we were to pinpoint any distinctive feature of this era, it would probably be the sheer number of games available compared to before Lin Feng went into hibernation, and the strong gaming culture.

Lin Feng estimated that this was due to virtual education and the player fleet. SG Company had linked education and games together, and the player fleet gave players a certain voice in military and political matters, so they were no longer just wasting their time on games.

In this era, if you're good at games, you're highly sought after by all the major powers; everyone wants to have you.

Lin Feng tried playing a few games, and the simulation of reality was very high, which made him feel like a free man rather than a prisoner locked in a coffin.

Lin Feng quickly got to know some players in the virtual reality game, and through contact with these players, he gained a deeper understanding of this era.

The gaming industry has become deeply entrenched in various fields. People treat games as part of their lives and life as a game, which has made them much more optimistic and positive about life.

As a Wallfacer who guides the gaming industry and expands into various fields, Lin Feng enjoys a very high reputation in this era; he is a legendary figure of this time.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be like the way Chinese people feel about Qin Shi Huang. Just as no one in China would mind that Qin Shi Huang was a feudal monarch, no one in this era would mind Lin Feng's dictatorial nature as a Wallfacer.

Chapter 107 I'll just sit here and let you judge.

It's easy to lose track of time online, and before you know it, a day has passed.

The following day, Lin Feng obtained his own stand-in robot.

"My body is more flexible than I expected."

Lin Feng moved the dummy robot around and discovered that this mechanical dummy was just as flexible as his original body.

The sense of sluggishness that the stand-in robot had before hibernation was completely gone, and even its expressions matched the original body perfectly.

The male nurse explained, "The substitute robot's structure is designed to mimic the human body. You will feel no sense of unfamiliarity when you operate it, just like operating a human body."

"A humanoid? It can even transmit thoughts?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.

The male nurse shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Human thought is not a simple numerical signal; it also contains a lot of chemical signals, and it only exists for a moment. Human thought is a dynamic process that changes constantly."

"Is it impossible with current technology to scan a person's brain in an instant and convert those chemical signals into digital signals?" Lin Feng asked.

Before Lin Feng went into hibernation, humans were able to scan the structure of the human brain in the laboratory, which is why neural computers were developed.

Lin Feng believed that with the advanced application of brain feedback technology in this era, it should be possible to scan information from the human brain.

In fact, Lin Feng's prediction was correct.

The male nurse answered Lin Feng's question with a serious expression and a hint of warning.

"It is possible, but not permitted. This is a violation of human rights and constitutes an extremely heinous crime against humanity."

"???"

Lin Feng was stunned; he hadn't expected this to be related to 'anti-humanity'.

Lin Feng pressed further, "Why is this a crime against humanity?"

The male nurse hesitated for a moment, then countered with, "In your time, wouldn't arbitrarily manipulating human genes be considered a violation of human rights?"

"belong."

Lin Feng nodded. Cloning is not permitted by humans, let alone arbitrarily modifying human genes or engaging in human body modification.

The male nurse used this example to answer Lin Feng's previous questions.

"Genes are human biological information. Since arbitrarily modifying human biological information is a violation of human rights, then arbitrarily modifying human thought information is also a violation of human rights. You should understand that, right?"

"This is no longer your era. The laws are much more comprehensive now. Some crazy behaviors that seemed reasonable and legal in your time would be charged as crimes against humanity in this era. I hope you will not talk about these kinds of things in front of others." The male nurse solemnly warned Lin Feng.

This is also a well-intentioned reminder, to prevent Lin Feng from unknowingly crossing the red line of moral decay in this era, which is not uncommon in this time.

The person who delivered the mechanical double to Lin Feng was a space force soldier. This space force soldier was waiting for Lin Feng to adapt to the mechanical double before meeting him.

"Hello, Mr. Wallfacer, my name is Domon William, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The two shook hands, and Lin Feng glanced at the other man's military rank; he was a major general.

After hearing the other person say his name, Lin Feng asked.

"Who is Knight William to you?"

“He is my grandfather. Things are a bit complicated. We’ll talk as we walk.”

The major general looked somewhat anxious. Although Lin Feng had some questions, he went along with him because the other party was Knight William's grandson.

……

“My grandfather always respected you. When I was very young, he often told me not to be afraid of the Trisolarans because Taylor was still alive.”

"We plan to wake you up only after our medical technology has been sufficient to fully cure you."

"But now, we have no other choice."

On the way, Major General Domon William explained a lot to Lin Feng, but perhaps because he was anxious, his words were somewhat incoherent, leaving Lin Feng somewhat confused.

"What exactly happened? And who are you referring to as 'we'? Don't rush, calmly explain everything," Lin Feng said.

"This is what happened..."

Somewhat agitated, Domon William calmed himself down and began to tell the story from the beginning.

Originally, according to the idea of ​​Radiaz and Knight William, Lin Feng would wake up in an era when his body could be completely healed, and then he would be able to see the results they left behind.

Rediaz and Knight William integrated all the political assets left by Lin Feng and formed a faction in space—the Taylor faction.

Similar to the ETO, this faction regards Lin Feng as its spiritual leader to ensure that Lin Feng's political status will not decline in the future.

It can be said to be the legacy left to Lin Feng by Radiázs and Knight William, and Domon William himself came from this faction.

Now, a key figure in this faction has been arrested. Because the Taylor faction's main forces are located in space, it is difficult for them to influence Earth's politics.

Left with no other choice, they had to resort to Lin Feng, their most powerful political trump card.

Lin Feng recognized the important figure Taylor was trying to save: Goring Davis, a member of his research team before he went into hibernation. Goring Davis specialized in artificial intelligence, biological computing, and brain implantation. He had also contributed significantly to the research on neural computers.

Now, Goring Davis is being tried by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity, accused of illegally copying human minds.

"I've been accused?"

Lin Feng pointed to his nose, looking at Domon William who was driving with some surprise.

"No, in this day and age, you have a very high reputation. Among the four Wallfacers, you are the only one who proposed the plural plan and stepped on the gas of the times."

"I am not a great person."

Lin Feng shook his head. What kind of great person was he? He was just a selfish human being. If we're talking about greatness, it should be people like Ding Yi, Rediaz, and Luo Ji who dedicated everything to humanity.

He's just a lazy bum.

Ignoring Lin Feng's words, Domon William said, "You have a very high reputation in this era. If you make good use of it, you can save Mr. Davis."

"How do you save him? By publicly defying the court?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.

“You can apply to have Mr. Davis spared the death penalty, or even life imprisonment would be acceptable, as long as his life can be saved. Our Taylor Group can try other ways to reduce his sentence,” Domon William said.

Lin Feng frowned. Applying for this was practically like begging someone.

That's too humble for him; it's not suitable for him.

Lin Feng asked, "Am I still a Wallfacer in this era?"

After a moment of silence, Domon William gave Lin Feng a firm reply.

"You still are."

"Then it's fine. Gather some people who are under your command and do as I say."

Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, waved his hand, and told Domon William to follow his instructions.

……

In court, the elderly Goring Davis stood in the dock, facing trial from the International Criminal Court.

"Enough! Goring Davis, stop trying to mislead the jury with your sophistry! According to Article 3 of the Human Rights Act, which protects human information, human life and information are sacred and inviolable, and any attempt to alter them is illegal!"

Goring Davis argued, "Neural computers are also developed by mimicking human anatomy. If you can accept this kind of computer, why criticize my research?"

Immediately, the audience and the jury erupted in discussion, all accusing Goring Davis of being a scientific madman of the old era, whose actions were completely incomprehensible.

The judge tapped his gavel, his gaze a mixture of reproach and pity. In his view, Goring Davis had lived too long. This figure of the old era, though great, was no longer suited to modern human society, and had become cognitively out of touch with the times and abandoned.

The judge countered, "Neural computers merely mimic humans; their nature is the same as robots, which we can certainly accept! But you are directly scanning human brains, extracting human thought processes, and modifying them—that's anti-human behavior! How are you any different from those mad scientists who recklessly modify human genes and create deformed humans?"
